MARA1HONR RACE TONIGHT.
Madison Square Garden Will Be the
Scene of Great Race Between
. Longboat and shrubb.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Jan. 26.-What promises
to be the most notable of all the pro
fessional races over the Marathon dis
lance, which have been such promi
nent feature in metropolitan athletic
circles this winter, is slated for Madi
son Square Garden tonight, when Tom
Longboat, victor over Dorando and
Johnny Hayes. will contest for SUI
premacy with Alfred Shrubb, the
noted English long-distance runner
The race will be the third of the Sc.
ries of big professional events of the
kind to be pulled off in Madison
Square Garden and will virtually de-
eide the championship. In the first
Dorando beat Hayes, winner of the
Marathon race in the English Olympic
games, and in the second contest
Longboat beat Dorando.
Both of the contestants in the race
tonight have been training faithfully
since the match was made and appear
to be in the finest fettle Both seem
equally confident of victory.
Most sporting critics agree that
Longboat and Shrubb are probably
the greatest long-distance runners in
the world today. Longboat first came
into wide prominence in the United
States by winning the famous Mara
thon race at Boston two years ago in
record time Since then his achieve
ments in America and Europe have
made his name familiar on both sides
of the Atlantic
Shrubb has had much more expert
ence than his Canadian rival. Before
he landed in America several years
ago his feats had won for him the
title of champion of England. Soon
after he came to America he attract
ed worldwide attention by making a
clean, sweep in Canada, where long
distance racing is one of the leading
sports. After he had conquered about
all of !Canada's ambitious runners,
Shrubb tested his speed and endur-
ance against Rifle Ball, speedy Ca
danian horse, at a provincial fair at.
Winnipeg. The runner made a grand
effort, but failed to finish first after
a great struggle.

SHIP SUBSIDY
 AGAIN REVIVED

washington, June 24.-Ship subsidy was revived and a new form Of cam paign was inaugurated at a. dinner given at the New Willard Hotel last night A new bill has been prepared and will be introduced in the House by Representative Humphrey of Wash ington and in the Senate by some friend of the ship subsidy-probably Senator Gallinger.
 Speaker Cannon was the~ guest of honor at the dinner last night, and President Taft gave encouragement to the promoters of the measure by drop ping in on the diners shortly after o'clock and remaining for short time. The hosts were officials and members of the Merchant Marine League. with headquarters at Cleveland, Ohio.
 The avowed purpose of the dinner was to persuade President Taft, Speak CT Cannon, and the Republican leaders that the new Humphrey bill should be made a part of the Republican legis- lative program of next winter. The two novel features of the bill are free ships and a new system of tonnage taxes. It proposes to admit to Amer 5000 tons or more. wholly owned by Americans. The tonnage taxes in wa ters of this hemisphere. are to be re- duced, while tonnage taxes in the transatlantic trade and in the East ern trade are to be materially increaS-- ed This would mean an increase es- timated at $1, GOO, 900 in tonnage taxes to be paid by foreign ship owners, and it is expected to decrease the tonnage taxes now paid by American ships which trade chiefly in local waters.

Bishop McFaul Stands
 To His Statement

Trenton, N. J., June 4.-Bishop James A. McFau1 of this city talked with a New York Times reporter yes terday regarding the assertion made by him in his speech at the commence ment exercises at St. Francis Xavier College that Harvard, Yale and Princeton were undermining faith and teaching immortality"
 'I was correctly quoted in the main.' '' said the Bishop, though I said such institutions as Harvard, Yale and Princeton, meaning to include Colum- bia, Pennsylvania, Syracuse. and all the others spoken of in recent article in the Cosmopolitan Magazine called Blasting at the Rock of Ages
 'T stand by my statement. I was addressing Roman Catholics. and my point is this: I would forbid young Catholics to go to institutions such as believe these to be, where they will get no moral training; where they will associate with skeptics and agnostics,- and where. in the Faculties, there is strong Inclination to find faults in and attack Christianity.
 My personal knowledge of these un- iversfties is slight. I based my re- marks on that article I had read it carefully, and I indorse it to this ex- tent-that it has been before the pub lie a month or more and no one has arisen to refute it. Naturally I con- clude there is truth in it. Till it is re- futed I hold fast to it.

Prosper Kuhn has applied for a license to open a saloon and remonstrance, signed by a large number of local residents, has been sent in MT. Kuhn already runs a saloon at 425 Hancock avenue.
 Many witnesses are likely to be sub poened to testify as to the residential character of Castle Park. It will not be surprising if some unexpected de- velOpmentS occur.

 The Shakespearian readings and quot library, have not proved very successful from a financial point of view. At one of the readings only 37 people were present and a less num- Der at another.
