EWRY CLEARED
AND HILLMAN'S
STANDING GOOD
National Committee May
Reverse Decision of
metropolitan AS
ISOLATION.

NEW YORK, Jan. l5.-What was the
most important development in connec-
ton with the recent upheavals in the
Metropolitan Association of the a. A.
L. was the decision last night Of the
registration committee that Ray c.
Ewry champion standing jumper Of the
world, never had violated the A. A. Z.
laws, and. therefore. never had sus-
pended himself, and is still an amateur
in goad standing.
The committees action was taken by
a vote of TO 1, at its meeting in the
st. Bartholomew A. c.
After much argument Nevin and Ma
honey were in favor Of giving Ewry
clean title, Hughes declared that
Ewry's disqualification was a matter OF
record, but that he might be reinstated
upon application Hughes made a mo-
tion to the effect that such action he
taken in the case. but when the opinions
of the other two members Of the COM
mitttee were asked they leaned to the
idea that Ewry had never by any act
disqualified himself.
No Rule Against Prizes.
Before the Ewry case was taken up,
a letter was read from II. L. Huffman.
saying that he had heard from reliable
authority that he had been susp ended.
and making application for reinstate-
ment. The committee decided that there
was nothing in the rules prohibiting
the taking of a prize for an exhibition,
and ruled that Hnlman. by. accepting Il
prize, had in no way injured his anna
teur standing.
Some time ago B. rtOw s. Weeks,
chairman of the ma ional legislation
committee. in expressing both his per
sOnal opinion and the opinion Of his
committee, said exactly the reverse OF
the action taken by the committee.
May Yet Cause Trouble.
The probability IS that the matter
viii be passed up to the national COM
mittee. which has the power to go over
the head Of the Metropolitan commit
tee. and interesting developments may

| land against Howard Valentine was
taken up and much evidence was given
on both sides. A report Of IL was made

An American Westminster?

In the crypt of the cathedral Of st.
John the Divine in New York there
| was buried the other day Bishop Pot
| ter of New York, through whose efforts
this great cathedral, which when corr
pleted will be the most pretentious es-
clesiastlcal structure in the New World
| was made a possibility. 1t will be
| many years before the cathedral is
completed, but those in charge of the
work say that the burial of Bishop Pot
| ter within it means that it is hoped
| that the great structure will be made
the burial place through future gerer
ations of the great men of our country,
| not necessarily church dignitaries and
Ell iscopaleans, but the heroes. leaders
and all whose names have adorned the
annals of our country, whose monu-
mcnts would recall their services"
1t is intlmaled that Bishop Potter
was himself ambitious to make THIS
great CATHEDRAL an American Westnln-
stcr Abbey and that he had proposed
the setting apart of poets corner"
in the cathedral for the burial of great
writer's. While Bishop Potter had Il
perfect right to his dreams as regards
he future of the cathedral to whose
building 50 much of his life work was
devoted, it appears to the average lay
man that his dream is hardly likely to
different in :ll5s country than have
been those in England which have

1t dt IS not seem likely that any en-
generations at least, be buried beside

st. John the Divine. If there Is ever
single place selected for the burial OF
this colntry's Eonored dead. it is more
likely to be a structure erected by the

Campaign Comment
Cleveland on Bryan.
(Washin gton Starr

The publication of the letter of Mr..
Cleveland to a friend here in Washing
ton on the subject of the Democratic
party's return to Mr.. Bryan's leader
ship was eminently proper and war
ranted by the situation. Mr.. Cleve-
lands attitude had been thown into
doubt by the controversy over a letter
purportine to have been written by Mr..
Cleveland on the same subject and
sold by the men claiming to have re-
ceived it for the purpose of publication.
However that controversy, which is
now in the courts. may turn out. the
real question is settled by the letter
which Col. Felix Reeve of this city
confesses to have in his possession. a
copy of which has found it's way into
print In July. 1906. Mr.. Cleveland de-
plored the prospect nf Mr. Bryan s
third nomination in terms so emphatic
no room is left to question that if liv-
ing today and confronted with the NOM
ination the ex-President would reject
Mr.. Bryan at the polls.
