OYSTERS PLENTIFUL
Supply in Market Ample for ALI De.
mands.

The supply of oysters in the shell on
sale aboard oyster boats at the 11th
street wharf market, which was very
small a day or two ago, has become
amply large to meet all demands, and
this morning the bivalves are selling at
prices ranging from SOC up to 81 and
higher per bushel. Christmas time Is
over and down the f.ver the oyster dredg-
ers and tongtrs have returned to work
and the boats running between this city
and the oyster beds are now able to
obtain cargoes. Since Monday morning
last twelve or fifteen vessels laden with
the bivalves have arrived here and are
row lying at the wharf market waiting
purchasers for the supplies they have
aboard. 1t is estimated that aboard the
boats now lying at the oyster piers there
are about 10,C00 bushels of fine oysters.
The demand for the bivalves is said to be
but fair. but with cold. snappy weather
the demand is expected to increase.
The supply of fresh fish received from
the nets in the Potomac continues to be
quite light. while the demand is fair.
Perch, catfish. muilets, green pike and
some few black bass are on sale. Prices
in spite of the short supply are not high.

lat'on regarding Michigan's withdrawal
from eastern foot ball. 1t means that
Michigan will return only to the west
ern conference when that body becomes
more liberal in its regulations.
Nothing has yet been done regarding
the location of the game next fall. The
second Saturday in November is the date
selected, and it is possible for certain
reasons Penn will go to Ann Arbor next
fall despite the fact that the game was
played in the west last year The rea-
son is that the date is the same as the
fale-Princeton game. which next fall is
played at Princeton, and the conflict in
dates would cut down the attendance at
both contests.
George II. McFadden. who for two
years has served in that capacity, ten
dered his resignation as chairman of
the foot ball committe, which included
his withdrawal from the committee as
well. Clifford Pemberton, jr, was elected
to membership on the committee, and

CHARGES AGAINST
RAY EWRY TABLED

NEW YORK, January S.-A peculiar
situation developed yesterday in amateur
athletics result OF the investig
into the charge that Ray Ewry had vio-
lated the amateur regulations; situation
which indicates that there are two inter-
pretations of the amateur law-one for
the star athlete and the other for those
out of the stellar class. Matt Halpin, the
manager of the Olympic team proved his
charges against Ray Ewry, and the reg
istration committee voted, two to one, to
table the suspension.
1t was also proved that Howard Valen-
tine had received money through being an
amateur athlete. and then his case was
closed until further evidence should be
secured.
This remarkable state of affairs is the
outgrowth of the recent attacks made on
Matt Halpin for his management of the
Olympic team in 1907. Halpin's retalia-
ton included the charge that Ray Ewry
the standing-jump champion. had violated
the ethics of amateurism. Ewry indig-
nantiy denied the charge. The registra-
ton committee then began an investiga-
ton to decide whether Ewry should be
suspended.
Evidence Conclusive.
When the committe, consisting of Thomas
Nevins chairman: Thomas Hughes, sec
rotary, and jeremiah Mahoney, met yes
terday. Halpin introduced evidence to
show that Ewry had competed In unsancS
toned meets. Ewry submitted a list of
the meets in which lie has taken part, and
Secretary Hughes declared that seven of
those in the list were unsarctioned Hal
pin also showed that Ewry had received
from the I'D Regiment in 1902 a lady's
watch for competition. which was int r.
preted as a violation of the rules HaIpin
further stated that Ewry had competsd at
a circus held last August by Y. NJ. c. A
club which was not sanctioned by the A
a. L. Ewry insisted that he had given
an exhibition at this affair. but he only
did SO on the assurance of the manage
ment of the circus that it had been sane
tined Ewry replied to the charge that
he had received lady's watch by ac-
knowledging the truth of it. and saying
that his wife now possessed the watch.
Then he proceeded to PROFOUND the fol-
lowing question, which caused a sensa-
ton in the meeting:
How many others are there who have
received similar prizes?"
When Il came to a vote on the matter
Nevins and Mahoney voted that the Ewry
matter be tabled. which leaves the Jumper
free TO compete with an amateur in the
future. Hughes voted mo" on this mo-
ton. The split vote. however, probably
will destroy any chance that Ewry had to
make the Olymic team. Another meeting
will be held next Wednesday to give
Ewry a chance to produce evidence re-
gardng his expenses, with a view to
clearing himself entirely.

oriain Of "Robin Adair.n

Those who have leaning to the SEN
ttmental side Of history will accept the
version that the hero of the ballad was
young and handsome Irish surgeon,
who, finding his way into London soci-
ETY. about the middle Of the eighteenth
century, was fortunate enough to Sc
cure the affections of Lady Caroline
Keppel, daughter of William, second
earl of Albemarle, and his wife, Lady
Anne Lennox, daughter Of Charles,
first duke of Richmond. The match
was naturally looked on with disfavor
by the family Of the young lady, and
it was during period Of temporary
separation that Lady Caroline is said
to have written the words of robin
Adair'' and set them to the old Irish
tune of eileen Aroon," which she had
learned from her lover. At length,
however, love triumphed, and the pair
were united on Feb. %, 1853 Within
a few days eAdair was appointed in
spector general Of the military hos
pitfalls and, subsequently becoming a
favorite of the king, was made sur
geon general, kings sergeant surgeon
and surgeon of Chelsea hospital. He
died in 1890. leaving an only son, who
entered the diplomatic service and be-
came the Right Hon. Sir Robert Adair.

Laughter and Indigestion.

tive apparatus from the average man. .

a writer who sets it down as SOL
emn fact that laughter and good cheer
are enemies Of dyspepsia Now, when
ever go to dinner where lot Of
good stories are told or amusing
speeches made and laugh more than

this, and, although never drink any
thing in the way Of intoxicants, am
certain to have an attack of hiccoughs

amuses my friends who are aware OF
