effect that he had DETAINED President

NEW HAVEN. Conn, April 1.-The
Yale Alumni Weekly today says that
the excellent showing made by the ath-
letes of Cambridge and Oxford in their

it seem likely that those universities will

Yale for meet at London during July
Taking for a comparison the results
OF the games of last Saturday and the
prospective estimates of what the men Of
Harvard and Yale will do in the dual

expresses the opinion that the Englishmen
would probably win the half, the mile
the three-mile and broad jump and the
Americans the 1OO-yard dash. high jump
and hammer throw, with the quarter and

the Englishmen as winners. Roosevelt of

Result of Mediation Between Com

Chairman Martin A. Knapp and DR..
Charles P. Neill the mediators between
the Southern railway officials and their
employees reached an agreement last night
by which the present wage scale on the
Southern railway for all the organizations
concerned will be continued until the first
of next July.
The mediators found the employees I'M
willing at this time to accept a reduction
Of wages because in their opinion, the
depression in the earning power of the
railway has not continued to such an eX-
tent as to justify a reduction of wages
The mediators. after full consideration
Of all the conditions incident to the in
quiry, were of the opinion that the rail-
way should not insist on a. reduction of
wages at this time. The company. through
it's officials, has accepted this Judgment.
The matter. therefore. has gone over until
the first Of next July. with the under
standing that IL by that time the condi-
ton of the railway company shall not i'm
prove the subject of the negotiations shall
be resumed with the idea of reaching an
arrangement based upon the conditions at
that time.
Both the railway officials and the en-
ployes have acceded to this arrangement
Other Lines Included.
The Mobile and Ohio and Queen and
Crescent lines are included in the agree
ment Messrs. Knapp and Neil last night
gave out a signed statement covering the
result of their efforts to bring about a
settlement. as follows:
The mediators who have endeavored to
settle the pending controversy between
the Southern railway and allied COM
panies and their contract labor. in &C
cordance with section = of the Erdman
act. have found the employees unwilling
at this time to accept a reduction OF
wages because of the opinion of these
employees the present depression in bust
ness has not continued for a sufficient
period to justify a reduction.
Under all the circumstances of the
case irrespective Of its merits. we are
of the opinion that the interests of the
public will be promoted. we'll as the
interest of all parties to the controversy,
il the companies shall not insist upon the
proposed reduction at, this time. Accord
ingly we have recommended TO the COM
panies 70 continue the present schedule
of wages until July l next, upon the I'M
Outstanding that If by that time business
conditions have not substantially i'm
proved the matters in dispute will be
taken up again by the mediators with the
view of reaching such an agreed adjust
ment of the wage scale as may seem to
be just under the conditions then exist
ing.
I'VE take great pleasure in announcing
that this recommendation has been &C
cepted by the companies and by their en-
ployeS in the operating, mechanical and
