TO LEAD HATCHETITES.
II. c. Davis to Head Athletics at
George WASHINGTON University.

The man who in all probability will
succeed DIR. w. F. r. Phillips as the
head of athletics at George Washington
University is II. c. Davis, the secretary
of the university.
During his several years as a member
of the faculty of the university and as its
secretary Mr. Davis has taken a very
active interest in athletics of every kind.
and has always been one of the most
ardent rooters at all contests. Whether
the game was won or lost. he had al
ways the same word of encouragement
for the players and the same pleasant
smile. During the foot ball season last
fall he was always at the games and
also at the mass meetings. and at the
close of the season made one of the
most stirring speeches of the evening at
the banquet given by the university to
the bes: foot ball team which has ever
represented George Washington.
Mr.. Davis is popular both among the
students and the faculty, and is the first
choice of President Needham for the po-
sition at the head of the Athletic Coun-
Gil. There are two vacancies on the
council now. caused by the resignation
of two of the faculty members, and
there is also a vacancy of an alumnus
member owing to DR.. Phillips resisna-
tion. 1t is understood that President
Needham will appoint Mr.. Davis as one
of the faculty members of the council.
DIR. Wiber of the A. A. u. who is an
alumnus of the university, has several
times been spoken of for DR.. Phillips
place, but ii is understood that his busi-
ness will not permit him to take such a
position. which would require great
deal of his time DR.. Wiber will. how
ever. probably be chosen as an alumnus
member of the council to fill the present
vacancy. With such men these be-
hind athletics at the downtown school
the future looks brighter than ever be-
fore in the history of the institution.
Great credit must be given to DIR. Phil
lips for his untiring efforts in putting
athletics at George Washington in their
present fourishing condition. He may
we'll be termed the father of athletics
and the whole university regrets keenly
his retiring at this time. when he can
realize the fruits of his labors. The good
wishes of the entire student body GO
with him into his new field of work ]
p. Earnest is now acting in DIR. Phillips
place until the election takes place
which will be In the course of the next
few days.

DEFENDS HER ROYAL PARENT
PRINCESS SAYS KING LEOPOLD
IS A JUST MONARCH.
Declares Intrigue Alone Prevents
Expects to Receive Her Rights.

Special Cabegram TO The Star.
VIENNA June 2o-The Neues Wiener
Tasblatt publishes an interview which a
member OF its staff now in Berlin had
with Princess Louise OF Belgium, daush-
ter of the King of the Belgians. and the
divorced consort OF Duke Philip of Coburg.
who is staying in that city. The princess
spoke OF the great sensation caused by
the sale of his pictures by King Leopold
and also OF the alleged intention of her
father 10 disinherit his daughters-herseit
and the present Countess Lonyay. widow
Of the Crown Prince Rudolf. She re-
marked:
My father is a rich man and the sale
of a few pictures is not worth mention.
Absurdity, however. lies in the idea that
by such sale he dispuses of a fortune
which he should leave to his children.
Only those who know nothing OF the
kings character could credit such an as
sertion. He may appear hard. but his
hardness is only the surface. lie
never swerves an inch from the legal
path. He feels himself To be the firs'
citizen of Belgium. and affairs connected
with his inheritance are already care
fully regulated. Never would the king
lend himself 10 an illegality. Besides this.
Belgium would never allow the daughters
of its country 10 be deprived OF their
lawful heritage.
Above all things. / do not naturally.

father. whose life | hope will be long.
can only repeat that false views are en-
tertained throughout the entire world
about King Leopold He has All iron Will
and will never rest until his ideas are
carried out. This trait in his character
NAV give a false impression of des.
potic and overbearing temper, but IN
truth he is unusually just. and would
never himself be guilty of injustice.
reconciliation between me and my IA
ther would long ago have been effected
if 50 many intrigues To separate us had
not been successfully planned A recon-
ciliation will, however. Yet be brought
about when the child will speak 10 the
father and not the princess to the king.
The princess then drew an interesting
picture of the spirit and enterprise or
King Leopold, and described his energy
and talent. which have done so much
for Belgium. Sire repeated a former say
ing of her father: Every king is born.
This is chance. l WILL however, show
the ability OF a monarch and prove my
right to the position | fill. In CONCLUSION
the princess stigmatized the report that
Kaiser Wilhelm would Danish her from
Berlin as ridiculous.
Mr. kleinberGcr the Paris dealer. who
had already bought eight of King Leo
pold'S ancient pictures, announces That
he has purchased the remainder of the
collection-about twenty canvases, fnclud-
ling the large Miracles of st. Benedict
by Rubens and the two works OF Della
croiX. one of which is copy Of the lat
ter. Thus il appears that King Leopold
has now disposed of all his old masters,
except. presumably. tire Van Dyck, upon
which the Brussels museum has an op-

Almost every bodily was out of town
