The Theaters

The Ferris Hartman baseball team
and George NJ. Cohan and a team of
players selected from his Yankee
Prince company will clash IN a ball
Cohan will do some fancy and quick
dancing around second base for his
team and George Broadhurst, author
of THE Man of the Hour" and THE
Dollar Mark" will umpire. Hartman
will do his share by roofing, although
he cannot be enticed to take part in
the game. The hundred chorus girls
of the two companies will lend life
beauty and color to the field and many
professionals in the city will join the
rooters. The Hartman players have
secured their new suits and will wear
them at the game today. This is the
fifth game of their series with trav-
cling companies, Of which they have
lost but one and that to Cohan's "Ftf-
ty Miles from Boston" company.
So great was the demand for seats
at the Belasco yesterday that the or
chestra was taken out of the pit and
two extra rows of seats put into the
pit for both performances of In the
Bishops Carriage" On next Mon
day night the company will open in
Clyde Fitch's play of New York So
ciety, 1.-The Climbers" in place of

nounced. The entire house on Mon
day night has been taken by the l.

GIRL VICTIM TO
CHANGE STORY
REFUTES STATEMENT MADE AT
PRELIMINARY
Inmate of School at Whittier Repudi-
ates Story She Told in Justice
Court That Defendant Was
Only Friend

After standing stoutly by Fred
Markwalder in his efforts TO gain his
release from a charge of mistreating
her more than six months ago, Gladys
Hewitt, a 16-year-old girl of Covina,
probably will so on the witness stand
and testify against the man who, 1t
is alleged, caused her downfall.
Markwalder was arrested more than
two months ago. At his preliminary
examination before Justice Summer
field, Miss Hewitt an inmate of the
Whittier state school, stated her asso-
citation with the man never had been
marked by misconduct, notwithstand-
ing several witnesses gave strong cir
cumstantial testimony to the contrary.
Until yesterday Miss Hewitt, who was
returned to the state school after the
preliminary hearing, had continued to
deny Markwalder's guilt. She was
taken to the district attorneys office
yesterday by Detective Maehle and
while closeted with Chief Detective
Browne acknowledged she had mis-
stated facts while on the witness stand.
Markwalder's trial is set for next
Monday IN Judge Davis court and it
is believed Miss Hewitt then will re-
peat the story told to Browne. Mark
valdez is in the county Jail. He is
said to have a wife and children liv-
ing somewhere in the east.

GREAT SALT LAKE
FOUND IN AFRICA

BERLIN, Nov. 25.-The German
scientific expedition which, under the
leadership Of Duke Adolf Friedrich OF
Meclllenburg, spent the years 19O7-S in
Central Africa, visited a'frontier dis
trict which is at present a bone OF
contention between the British ana
Belgian governments. In a report or
the expedition entitled "In Inmost
Africa" the duke explains that, in the
region of Lake Albert Edward, the
dividing line between British East
Africa and the Congo State, is the
thirteth degree Of longitude, and diff
ficulties have arisen owing to the fact
that it is not known locally exactly
where the boundary is.
Duke Adolf Friedrich writes: From
Kasandi we visited a place of quite
special interest, namely Katwe, which
is situated on a lake containing an
abundant supply of salt and separated
flom Lake Albert Edward only by q
narrow isthmus consisting of steep
rocks The first of the hills is sur
prisingly wonderful. The red-colored
water made it appear as if a lake of
blood lay at our feet and the contrast
with the blue sky and the yellow sand
banks was most striking. The level OF
the water which is now only three
feet deep, has sunk considerably of
late years and has left ridges of salt
exposed to the height of several yards.
THE presence of such large quanti-
ties of salt renders Katwe a place of
great economic Importance. Before it's
discovery the thirtieth degree of longi-
tude was admitted by both countries
to pass to the east of it, so that it was
the undisputed possession of the Congo
State. After its discovery the British
colonial office became convinced that
a serious mistake in surveying had
been made, and a clever astronomer
succeeded in making the thirtieth de-
gree of longitude pass through a spot |
westward of Katwe, thus including |
this place within the English boundary |
The Belgians, on their side, doubted |
the correctness of the English survey |
and a Belgian and English commission |
was dispatched to ascertain the exact |
position Of the frontier"

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
FEDERATION IS FORMED
Organization Is elimination of Efs
forts Begun Almost Three
Years Ago

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Two years ago
the English Shipping Federation in
vited representatives of shipowners' as
sociations in various European coun-
tries to meet in London in order to dis
cuss the possibility of forming an in
ternational federation. Delegates from
France, Belgium, Holland, Germany,
Italy, Denmark and Sweden according
ly met in London in October, 1907. The
proposal to form an international COM
bination was agreed to and it was de-
cided to summon another meeting, at
which delegates from the various coun-
tries represented should bring forward
suggestions for rules and regulations.
This meeting was held in London
in January, 1908, and then a special
comm ssion, consisting of delegates
from Great Britain, Germany, Holland,
Belgium and Sweden-countries which
already possessed local organizations
of the same character-Was entrusted
with the task of drawing up rules. At
a meeting in London in May last these
rules were accepted but 1t was decided
to postpone the Inauguration Of the
international federation until the
autumn in order to allow the national
declarations to discuss several out
standing questions concerning practical
working arrangements.
Recently the negotiations have been
held at the offices Of the English Ship
ping federation, and the International
Shipping federation has now been con-
stituted and registered. The federations
of Great Britain, Germany, Sweden,
Denmark, Holland and Belgium have
Joined the international federation,
which already represents between six
teen and seventeen millions Of tonnage.
1t is expected that France and Nor
way will join at an early date and
that the shipowners of other maritime
countries will fall into line with the
movement as soon as they have estab-
Iished local federations for the purpose.
The international federation has been
formed for purposes Of protecting ship
owners and shipping generally during
labor disputes, enabling ships to load
and discharge during strikes and lock-
outs and indemnifying its members
from losses sustained in consequence of
such disputes.
II. L. Dewitt, president Of the English
Shipping federation, has been elected
president of the international fedora
ton and Herr c. Leist of the North
German Lloyd company is the vice
president. The manager and secretary
are Cuthbert Laws and NJ. Brett the
manager and secretary of the English
federation.

SCIENTIFIC MEN TO ATTEND
UNIVERSAL RACES CONGRESS
More Than Two Hundred University
Professors viii Assemble
In London

LONDON, Nov. PA universal
races congress, which will deal with
the relations of western races and ma
tions with eastern and other races and
nations, is TO be held in July, 1911.
More than 200 university professors,
representing twenty countries, have
Joined the general committee. Among
the lecturers on international law in
the German universities who have
Joined the committee is Senator Zorn,
the delegate of the imperial German
government to the two Hague con-
ferences.
In the American list of sympathizers
are the names of Brig. Gen. Clarence
r. Edwards, chief of the United states
bureau of insular affairs; Prof Felix
Adler, late Roosevelt professor in Ber-
lin, and several of the immigration
commissioners.
Among the English supporters of the
congress are Sir Harry Johnston, Sir
Charles Bruce, late governor of Mauri-
thus; Sir Edward H. Busk, chairman of
of London university;
Prof Rhys Davids. The Italian uni
versities are we'll represented, and in
France Baron Estournelles de Con-
stant, M. Alfred Fouilles and Prof.
Emile Durkeim have expressed their
sympathy.
The object Of the congress is Of
fcially stated to be the discussion of
the larger racial issues in the light Of
modern knowledge and the modern
with a view to encourag-
ing a good understanding, friendly
feeling and hearty cooperation among
races and nations. Political issues of
the hour will be subordinated to this
end, in the firm belief
that when once mutual respect is es-
tablished difficulties of every type will
be sympathetically approached and
readily solved. So far as possible spe-
cial treatment will be accorded to the
problem of the contact of European
with other developed types of civiliza
ton, such as Chinese, Japanese, In
dian Tnrkish a nd Persian.

NEW CHINESE RAILROAD TO
BE EXTENDED FROM KALGAN
Border of Mongolian Plateau,
Thence to Ho-Ku'ou

PEKING, Nov. 25.-The railway from
Peking to Kalgan, which was opened
recently with much ceremony, is not to
end at Kalgan. 1t is to be extended
westward along the border of the Mon
golian plateau to Kweihuach'eng and
thence to Ho-kuou, its port on the
Yellow rivera total distance Of 275
miles. The route was surveyed last
year and the railway is to be built in
the same manner as the present rail-
way by purely Chinese staff from the
earnings of the northern railways.
Funds thus allotted are insufficient to
allow of rapid construction. Seven
years are to be occupied in the con-
struction, whereas if sufficient money
were provided the work might easily
be completed in one-third the time.
Kalgan itself is an important trade
mart on the outer great wall northwest
of Peking on the border of the Mon
golian plateau. 1t is an interesting
city, thronged with Mongols and Chi
nese, in a district famous even in
Marco Polo's time for its vineyards
and orchards. The route along which
the extension will run is fertile and
we'll peopled.
No race has greater powers of coloni-
zation than the Chinese and nowhere
have their powers been displayed more
strikingly than in their extension into
the pasture lands of Mongolia. Along
a front several hundred miles in length
the Chinese are moving northward into
the Mongol pasture lands at rate
that has been estimated at four miles
per annum. Mongols cannot resist this
pacific invasion of a people intellec-
tually their superiors who bring with
them their industrious habits, their
farming implements and their skill in
husbandry. Where a few nomad Mon
gols earned a scanty subsistence with
their herds on untitled soil, now thou
sands of Chinese are living. Nomadic
life is disappearing and agricultural
life is taking its place. Villages are
being built, schools erected ana the
whole Chinese civilization transplanted.
