Confederate State is named on those

Later the United States Congress
gave by unanimous vote 100000 to

In the centre of the Confederate
section at Arlington is left mound.
There, in sight of Washington city,
where for untold generations the
American and the foreigner will be
pilgrims, the Confederates themselves
are expected to build a memorial,
which will typify their love of and
yeneration for their dead.
Soon after the reinterment at Ar
lington, Confederate organizations in
Washington began to move in this
matter. In 1906 the United Daugh-
Sra of the Confederacy, In conven-
ention at Gulfport, endorsed the
movement and subscribed to it. In
l9O7 at Norfolk the daughters took
fnIl charge, appointing directors in
he several States and an executive
ommittee at Washington. All went
promptly to work. From all sources

KNOX STILL " AITING
ZELIY1S FALL NE1R.
Insurgent Success Expected to
End Nicaraguan Trouble.

washington. Nov. 2s-The State Depart
ment. ia the absence 81 incontrovertible
evidence that the two Americans who were
shot In Nicaragua were members Of Es-
trada's army, is sim marking time. This
evidence is expected within a short time
from the American Consul al Managua or
from the commander Of the Nicksburg, who
is investigating the execution.
Secretary Knox is not particularly cha
erined at the delay. as there is hope al the
State Department that the reyolutionists
will overcome Zelaya in the near future
and thus put an end 10 the entire AFFAIR.
Both official and private advices received
A. Washington indicate that Estrada and
Dis followers are everywhere successful and
mat his army is being daily augmented by
soldiers who recently fought under Zelaya.
This was expected by the department. and
D. is not improbable that it may refrain
from dealing directly with Zelaya, unless
r. is seen that the revolutionists cannot
gain a complete and reasonably early Vie
tory. Because Of the lack Of Official infor-
nation il is probable that a naval officer
VIII be sent TO Managua from the Nicks-
burg, and as this city is only short dis
tance from Corinto there is no fear that he

Salvador CRstrillo. the representative OF
the revOluiionists In Washington, has re-
ceived a cable dispatch from Estrada which
seems 10 end all doubt as 10 the character
OF the service which Cannon and Grooe
were rendering in the revolutionary army
The dispatch says that the two men were
serving as colonels II this fact is proved.
and there is little doubt at the State De-
partmeut that IL is true, Zelaya viii be
called upon 10 make adequate reparaiion.
provided he is not earlier deposed II the
revolutionists are successful in overthrow
ing the Zelaya government before ofncial
advices come from Nicaragua. II is under
stood that the United States will al once
recognize the new government, receive It's
minister and assist in the restoration 81
peace
The State Department, has been In corre-
spondence with Mexico to-day. but no IN
formation as 20 the nature Of the com
municstion was made public. II may be
said, however. that Secretary Knox has
acquainted President Diaz with his plans

ident Diaz has been asked 10 suggest some
method by which the United States and
Mexico could join In a movement 60 restore
and maintain peace in Central America,

sity of Virginia. denounces football in
remarkable interview in which he COM
pares the game to actual warfare. 10 tho
detriment Of the former. Re maintains that
the great number OF fatalities represents
so many murders. AMI proclaims that tho
past and present ideals OF manhood in the
great American universities represent tho
distance between Stonewall Jackson and
John l.. Sullivan.
II have read with indignation. mingled
with sorrow. the account Of the murder Of
young Christian. a student Of the Univer-
sity of Virginia. in a football game in
Washington with Georgetown University"
said Colonel NIOsby to-day. II use the word
murder advisedIy-the killing was not an
accident.
Some years ago I expressed 10 DR.. e
A. Alderman. president Of the university.
my objection to football. because II was not
a recreation for students; because many
were making il a profession; because il
developed the brutal instincts OF our nature.
and because II should be no part of the
curriculum Of the university. A student
who has broken somebody's nose at foot
ball stands higher than a master OF arts.
A man ought not 70 go 10 college 10 learn
20 be a circus rider or a prizefghter
"Dr. Alderman says there is great danger
To life and limb In football. and that the
danger must be eliminated before il can
be played any more. But IL the danger is
eliminated nothing will be left OF the game.
The danger is not only the chief. but the
only attraction TO the mob that gathers TO

rOoters 70 cheer the cOmbatants. The
shouts in the coliseum over the dying

the arcades Of the university.
The defenders OF such sport say II de-
velops the manhood OF youth. i deny IL.

strength. My idea OF manhood is a sense
OF honor and courage. and such qualities
may exist in a weak body. The differences
between the past and the present in great
American universities Is the distance be.
tween StonewaH Jackson and John l..
Sullivan. Football simply develops the
brute dormant in mans nature and puts
the player on a level with an EsqUinau
or a polar bear.
Napoleon once said Scratch Rus
sian and you find Tartar implying that
Russian civilization was only skin deep.
II the university is a fair representative.
I fear that the same sarcasm equally APP
plies in Virginia. My observation has been
that athletes belong as rule TO that
class who are invincible in peace and in

ingly acquiesced IN his removal under ms

MAINS" the decision says. thai the eN-
ecutive act which worked his removal can
not be removed" The court adds: What
possible defence can then be interposed'
Justice Mccall calls attention TO the inti-
nation in Ahearn's moving papers that 'ne
validity OF his removal as violative of con
stitutionaI provisions might be asserted
The Justice says of this: But the attitude
Of the court of last resort unanimously ex-
pressed. even though IT may be conceded to
be obiter would render ridiculous any JUG
ment that would seek TO sustain such
contention"
The justice then says
OF course, I am leaving untouched the
