Justice Gould of the Supreme Court OF

case of the Bucl5s Stove and Range Com
pany Of ST. Louis, in which the court re-
Gently temporarily enjoined the fedora
ton from placing the company on a boy
cott and unfair list in the federation pub

tiop because Of the issue 1t involved as to
the right of Ia Dor organizations to boycott.
In behalf of the federation it was con-
tcnoed that the order was erroneous be-
cause II was made to run until the final
decree in the case instead of until the fur

Word Spoken for Broadmindedness
Among Ministers.

HOUSTON. January 1O.-In the address
at the closing exercises of the Episcopal
Mission conference here last night the
Right Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle of Missouri,
presiding bishop of the church in the
United States. enunciated a broad doc
trine for the church. in recognition of
other denominations and for Christian
unity. He said:
THE church hopes to get out of the
way of narrowness herself. she hopes to
be merciful and liberal and charitable.

Before he brought his sermon to a
close the bishop took occasion to caution
clergymen against rushing pell-mell into
union services.
Bishop Johnston of Texas said:
"It i'll becomes US to throw an unkind

DIR. WILSON SUSTAINED.
Action of G. W. u. Athletic Council
on Professionalism.

At the meeting of the athletic council
of the George Washington University
last evening the council took notice of
the reports alleging the playing of pro-
fessionals upon the basket ball team In
it's contest with Yale University Decem-
Der 30.
The council found. upon thorough in
vestigation. that the rules OF the uni
versity regarding eligibility of players
had been violated by the manager of
the basket ball team, and that as a result
of this violation two persons were per-
mitted to play upon the basket ball team
who were not registered students in the
university. The council expressed strong
disapproval of the action of the manager
of the basket ball team in thus falling
to comply with the established rules OF
the university, and disavowed all respon-
sfbility for the managers action in SO
doing.
AS the two persons referred to were not
students in the university, the council felt
that it had no jurisdiction to inquire into
their professionalism. II regretted ex-
tremely that IL did not have jurisdic-
ton, in order that 1t might investigate the
question of professionalism of the two
players referred to, and, IL proved. take
such disciplinary action as its rules pre-
scribe.
The council further directed its chair
man to state that the George Washington
University has stood by and proposes TO
stand by the rules of the Intercollegiate
Athletic Association of the United States
and had never knowingly permitted any
professional to represent the university
upon any team, nor will ii ever knowingly
permit any professional to play upon its
team.
The council approves the action OF
Graduate Manager Wilson in suspending
the basket ball team until the cha arges
made in the press could be investigated.

concerned.
While there is yet no serious considera-
ton given to the matter OF curtailing the

less a decided improvement sets in in the
trade, as 1t Is not the policy of the min
ing companies to mine and store coal
while the cost of mining is at its highest.

tanned that there are no more bodies In

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, January 10
That the severe entrance examinations
prevent many poor girls from obtaining a
college education and deter marriage Is
stated in the annual report Of President L.
Clark Seely Of Smith College. In part
the president says:
LAS most Of the able men come from
the poorer classes it would be both a
public and private calamity If 1t should
become harder for poor boys and girls
of ability to gain the mental culture they
desire 1t would be still greater loss If
by postponing the time of graduation
family life should be impaired. The longer
marriage is delayed the less likely men
are to marry. A college education should
not contribute to the modern tendency to
ceNbacy.

Friendly Spirit of Japan.
Speaking generally, Mr.. Lemieux said he
was received by the Japanese authorities
in the most friendly spirit. Japan was
proud Of her alliance with Great Britain
and the result was strong friendship for
Canada, as part of the British empire.
Canada, upon her own account was well
thought of in Japan. Canadians were
found there in every walk of life doing
well.
The prospects of an increasing trade be-
tween the two countries in the near fu-
ture made this bond all the stronger,
The great question in Japan. Mr.. Le-
misux proceeded to say. was immigration.
Whatever feeling there was over the Van
couver affair disappeared by the prompt

Wilfrid Laurier. There was general i'm
preston that Canada could not be held re-
sponsible for the Vancouver matter. Japan
was looking to Asiatic points for emigra-
