The records of Yale vindicate the
simple life by showing that the rich
students are the poor scholars. The
amount of scholarship declines in pro.
portion to the sum of luxury. There
is no getting over the stern natural
law that only a favored few are gifted
with the character which is best de-
veloped by prosperity. College Stats
tics, emphatically urges the Baltimore
American, do not alter the tradition
that 1t is the poor boy, working his
way, who has had the most influence

IN POLICE COURT

Lord Baber whiried up to the po- lice building yesterday in his ten cyltn- der, $T,000 Mercedes touring car and sprang out as the footman opened the door to the tonneau; the four Nubian eunuchs who accompany him every where spread rich rug before the feet of the great man and in stately. solmn dignity the presence stalked in- to the building.

 Reaching the dais his worship sprang lightly over theN desk and landed in the chair then began to revolvo rapid ly. Seventy eight times he spun about in the chair and at last stopped to announce that 1t was his birthday and that he had spun of a year with each revolution. Those in the room rushed forwardSto shake his hand and congratulate him on the event, and some there were who brought offerings of rich fruits. dried dates. white bread. the heads of Ash soaked In oil ands other dainties.

KILLS AMENDMENT
HOUSE VOTES DOWN GARRETTS
 PROPOSAL.
Sought to Prevent Matter COReeFRing Speculation ln Futures to Be Sent Through Untted
 States Mails.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-The pending question, when the House of Represen- tatives met today was the amendment to the penal code, offered by Mir. Gar rett (Tenn.) making 1t 4 penal oRense to transmit through the malls any ad- vertisement or information having ref erence to dealings in futures where delivery of the article bought cannot be made.
 The House proceeded to considera- ton of this question immediately.
 During the debate MT. Humphreys (AIiss.) Advocated the amendment in its bearing on dealings in cotton futures. He asserted that the transactions on the New York cotton exchange were not investments in cotton and he called attention to the enormous sales of cot ton which he declared did not exist,
 Replying to Mr. Moon (Pa.) In charge of the bili. Mir. Humphreys was unable to say whether the effect of the amend ment would be to close the pages of the newspapers against the printing of any stock transactions without first as- certaining if they were legitimate. Mir. Moon insisted that such would be the case.
 the New York cotton exchange had ex- pressed Itself willing to be inWestlgat- ed.
 The amendment was further opposed py Messrs. Moon (Pa.), Kuesterman (Wis). Cochran and Parsons (N. Y.), Olmsted (Pa-) and Hitchcock (Neb. {; and, supported by Messrs. Watkins (Ia.). Hefin and Craig (Ala.l, Ferris (Ok.) James (Ky.l. Miller (Kas.), and it's author Mir. Garrett (Tenn.)
 On division the amendment was lost 7s to s5. but on the demand of Mir. Garrett tellers were ordered and the vote again was taken. resulting in the nnal defeat os tae amendment.

birmingham sportsmen who went hunting in Louisiana and got "stunE. to the tune of more than $2,000 in the aggregate, are trying to set tnem- selves alright before the pubic Tne.r chief spokesman. they hope, VII pc have written.
 In order to aid in disabusing the American reader of the idea that the Magic City huntsuen were guilty o1 unsportsmanlike conduct, they have re- quested State Game and &ish Commis- sioner John H. Wallace. IT,. to certify to The Field as to their cneracter.
 The Birmingham party, one of whom was Archibald Henderson. was arrest ed in Louisiana, it will be recalled. ana lined heavily few days ago for hunt ing without license. l..
 In complying with the request, Ccin- missioner Wallace has addressed the following letter to The American Field:
 aEditor American Field, Chicago. lii:
 Dear sir:--Archiba1d Henderson ana several other gentlemen from Btrming- ham, were recently arrested In Louisi- ana, charged with violating the game law of that State. All the members or this hunting party are personally known to me, and they are sportsmen of the highest type, and all are en- lnuSlaGllC game aRA1tc~NApAA@S-7--,. - under no circunstances would they violate the game laws of Louisiana or any other state if they had cognizance of such a statute.
 .These gentlemen were not informed as to the provisions of the Louisiana law. hence the infraction. It is most humiliating to them. enjoying, as they do the reputation for strict compli- ance with the game and fish protective statutes in Alabama. to be published to the world as notorious violators of a law. the like of which they employed their large and powerful influence in Alabama to pass through our Legisia- ture.
 Tt is in but simple justice to them that I address you this communication in order that the stain from the erst- while. immaculate escutcheon Of thsir sportsmanship may be expunged.
 Yours truly,
