Bank of England Shows Re-

London, Jan. 1.-The directors of the
Bank of England today lowered the
minimum rate of discount to s from Z
per cent, which latter rate was estab-
lished as a result of the recent Ameri-
can financial crisis. Improved financial
conditions in America coupled with a
better monetary situation in Germany.
assisted the directors in their decision
to remove the stringent rate of discount,
which has been handicapping trade and
speculation for the past seven weeks.
The effect of the reduction of the dis
count rate, however, already had been
largely discounted on the London stock
exchange as the absence of New York
competition for Mondays gold arrivals
and a sharp drop in discount rates fore
Swallowed an early decline in the official
minimum rate of discount. Today
stock market was quiet.
New York, Jan. 1.-The announcement
Of the reduction of the Eank of Eng
lands minimum discount rate from to
per cent was received with general
satisfaction in this city, although the
American demand for gold has been sat
isfied for some time past. The placing
of the rate at z per cent during the
severe period of New York's monetary
stress caused a sensation, as it was TAX
~ to indicate that the Bank of England
intended to resist the outflow of gold
to this country. However, 1t developed
that the action was simply precaution-
airy and New York continued to receive
gold as long as it was required.

DR.. SUZZALL0 SPEAKS
AT MORNING SESSION

The morning session was a general
one and was held in the large taber-
nacle which was we'll filled. DR.. J. P.
Gordy, who was to be the special
speaker, had not arrived, and his place
was most ably filed by DR.. Henry SUI
zalO, of Columbia university, of New
York City.
Dr. SuZzallo took for his subject The
Function of the Emotions in Educa-
ton and spoke substantially as fol-
lows: There have been two great
movements noticeable in the worlds
recent history-the rise of democracy
and consequent decay of tyranny, and
the rise of education and consequent
decrease of ignorance. By the an
cient rule of might, a force was Oper-
ated which controlled humanity, and
the effort of today is to secure that con-
troll through ideals and sentiments.
Russia is a concrete example Of the
control of a nation great in numbers
by force of arms, and America is an
example of a people controlled from
within by a mightier force of loyalty
and ideals.
Book Learning is Not All.
'The recognition of this mighty force
was what brought about in the early
educational fervor of the early part of
the nineteenth century q deep faith in
education as a power. But the only
kind Of education thus idealized was
the intellectual education, not the de-
velopment of the real man That
faith which abided in education as a
power is rapidly passing because it
has been shown that intellectual edu-
cation alone does not make for the
best citizenship. We have found that
there is some element lacking in the
making of a citizen when we have Sc
cured only high mental development.
In order to see with any degree of
clearness what the remedy is we must
overthrow first of all the Old statement
that knowledge is power.
knowledge Is Not Power.
knowledge is not power, it is only a
lever to control power. and emotion or
feeling is the real steam by which a
mans work is done and his actions de-
termined. Educators must face the
fact that mental attachments do not
guarantee good citizenship. Intellect
alone is not adequate TO the work of

The trouble was brought about by the

The matter was taken up few days ago

Gathering of the Mob.
Early this evening more than 100 men
gathered at the union depot and after a
short consultation marched up Twenty

mobs cries of lynching frightened the
Japs into deserving their homes, and they
fled out into the street, scattering IN

had the mob reached its objective point

Pennsylvania Football Men Cant
 Hang 'Em Up Much Longer.

Spring football practice for Penn candidates has taken another start At the time of the first attempt at practice there were but few of the 22 men reporting who were not in ar. rears in their training house board bill. and under the rule of the ath- letic committee no Jelinquents. are permitted to indulge in any sort ai varsity athletic practice Since the first attempt at practice last Thursday was abandoned the candidates have been doing some pretty tall hustline getting together sufficient cash tc square accounts with the training table. and it is believed thsi in near. ly every case their pathetic appeals to the old folks at home or in other quarters have been successful. When the baseball crew and track men were obliged few weeks ago to dig down and settle the football men lay back complacently. feeling that no move would be made in their direction un. til next fall. when they expected the athletic committee would have for. gotten it's ruling.

The base ball season will open in his city tomorrow afternoon, when Waterbury will play an exhibition game with the Springfield band. Both teams have been getting i'll form for the past ten or twelve days. while it will be an exhibition game, both Managers Durant and O'Neil will try hard to win. The grounds are in readiness to receive the fans and the latter will be surprised at the changes that have been made out at Reid vile. There will be plenty of room for everybody to sit down and the only sad thing about the changes is. that the bleachers will be too far away for all the fans to hear the wit ticisms that will emanate from several of the bleacher birds, If things don't go right. In order to avoid doctors bills and medicinal applications, it would be just as well to leave your Easter suits at home and let the win fer parapbernalia be the whole screech Merry Widow" hats can be tied to the roof or used as cushion seats.

 Fielder Jones, the White Sox leader, says the new rules prescrib- ing sacrifice hit on fly that scores a man from third base will result In batters making sacrifice hits when they are not wanted.
 Ty Cobb started off at rapid pace with the stick, making three hits in the first game. Other big leaguers who clouted safely three times in their first game were Klein ow, Rossman and Evers.
 To all appearances the new rule preventing pitchers soiling new ball worked all right If the pitch CTS had any more trouble thAn usual in controlling the new fashioned dull finish ball they did not show it. Still, one day isn't test.
 "Kleinow's lucky hit" is the way the New Workers two bagger in the twelfth inning is described in Phil. adelphia. It was as clean a hit as ever was made and would have been good for two bases and probably three under any other circumstance. Smith of the Athletics, however, made an unlucky hit. His two bag ger would have been at least a three bagger but for the ground rule.

TWO STOKERS FIGHT.

Two stokers on the Teutonic pulled off as pretty four-round bout as ever seen in a ring on board the liner just before she sailed yes terday morning and q few second class passengers. who boarded her early, had an extra run for their money, which they enjoyed to the limit.
 All hasn't been lovely between Dublin" and Connor, the princi- pals, for some little time and the in- evitable girl is back of it all. TO settle it they arranged bout for yesterday morning.
 Before s o'clock the whole stoke hole force came on deck. and in an isolated spot between cabins d ring was chalked off Not an officer was in sight and not one knew of the contest. Although Connor is much bigger than Dublin" the lat ter was the favorite of his mates, but he was severely punished by Connor during the four rounds, which were one minute each, with half minute rests.
 At the beginning Of the fourth round Connor struck Dublin a hard blow On the chest and another on the face. and Dublin" dropped to the deck. It was some time be- fore he was able to move. and he was almost helpless His mates car ried him off the ship and sent him to a place the location of which they kept secret.

The second came near being his Water loo: he took the count of nine. then pulled himself up, only to go down for nine more. He was still watch ing the scenery on the mat at the bell. Blackburn opened the third with a right to the heart and then jabbed left to nose. Bill swung right to face. which was one of the few blows he struck. They eX- changed swings to the face and then Jack swung his left to chin and Heveron took count of seven. He was knocked down twice more. and then his second threw up the sponge.

 American Eight to England.


 New Haven, April 16.-It was learned here yesterday that Yale, through her athletic department, has appropriated $500 toward defraying the expenses of. an all American crew to repre- sent the United States at the Olympic games in London the coming summer.
 John Kennedy, Yale's coach, is planning to take the varsity eight aud the second crew over the four mile course in the harbor this week. So far the crews have had only prac- tice over the half. mile stretch on the river. this because of the rough wa ter. Kennedy says this is the first year In many seasons in which he has not been able to get a line on the time his crews could make be- fore the Easter vacation. Kennedy has been forced to keep his men out of the boats altogether for five days in April on account of the cold weather and the rough water. a new experience in the history of Yale boating.
 For the last week Capt lde and hennedy nave been mdkliis NdiT ous transfers between the first two cights, the port side of the varsity having been changed entirely.

Jack Atkin Wins Carter Handicap,
 Changes In Betting Ring.

New York. April I6.-The metropoli- tan racing season of 1908 was inaugu- rated at Aqueduct park track, and the days programme was carried out with out interference and with only slight changes in the usual system of betting. Outwa-dly there were no signs that a stubborn legislative battle had been waged at Albany for two months to make race track gambling impossible In this state. but to one familiar with the old conditions and methods on New York race tracks there were ap- parent many small concessions to the public sentiment against the betting system. Public interest, in fact. was centered almost as strongly in the changes in the betting pavilions as in the contests between the various field. of thoroughbreds that made ID an at- traetive programme. All stools and cash boxes were barred
