STANFORD. UNIVERSITY. Oct. IL
After the most careful and thorough
investigation the faculty athletic COM
mfttee reached the decision yesterday
that d. p. Crawford 'Os is eligible 10
play in the intercollegiate match Of
November I3 The settlement of the
controversy depended upon the inter-
probation of the term college year
which was used in the intercollegiate
agreement. The ruling is that il any
man fails TO take part in varsity ath-
letics between the Two univ ersttsss si.ls dor
the period of one college year that year
will not count against him uRder the
four yearE' rule.
Before 1905 college year was un-
semesters beginning with the fall Of
the year. Because of the addition OF
other clauses at the time the agree
ment was changed to mean Two sue
eessfve semesters beginning either at
fall or spring
Crawford comes under the latter de-
letics during the spring term or his
freshman year and the fall term OF
his sophomore year.

INTEREST IN DECISION
Status Of Many Inmates at State Asy-
lum in the Balance

Montpelier, May S.-Arguments in
the Caledonia county case of E. T. &
II. II. Ide of st. Johnsbury VS.. the
Boston & Maine Railway company oc-
cupied nearly the whole day in SUI
preme court Thursday. The plain
tiffs claim that mill property owned
by them was destroyed by fire set
by one of the defendant company's To-
comotives. In the lower court the
plaintiffs were awarded verdict of
$4,000 and their costs.
No little interest is felt in the
decision which the supreme court will
render on the habeas corpus case
heard the first day of the term. If
the claim of the petitioner is well
founded and the act under which Mrs
Allen was committed is unconstitu-
tional, there is no reason why scores
of other like cases cannot be brought
by friends of patients now in the
state hospital for the insane at Wat
erbury. The constitution of the state
plainly provides that no person can
be deprived of liberty without a trial
by a jury of his peers. How this will
be construed by the supreme court is
matter of conjecture. Again if the
act under which patients have been
committed to the state asylum from
every probate district in the state, is
declared unconstitutional no probate
judge will take the responsibility Of
committing any one in future.
