OF THR00P INSTITUTE

PASADENA, Nov. 27.-It was an
nounced today that the board of edu-
cation will demand of Throop institute
an explanation for it's sudden calling
off of athletic relations between the
Throop academy and the high school
on account of alleged unpleasant con-
ditions engendered. There has been
much discussion of the action, and j.
B. Beardsley of the board of education
is one of those who state that he will
bring the matter officially before the
board. An explanation of the terms
used will be requested of Prof. Charles
e. Barber, principal of the Throop
academy, whose letter to Professor
Ely the day before the Thanksgiving
football game, speaking of disagree.
able situations" severed athletic rela-
lions. It is generally considered that
some discussion of the question should
have been had from Throop with the
high school before going ahead.

FAST SCHEDULE IS
ARRANGED FOR TODAY
MidWinter League Teams Are Well
Bunched in the Pennant Race.
Changes In Standings
Looked For

Now that the heretofore invlncible
San Diego team has been downed by
the Maiers, thereby losing first place,
the Midwinter league race has taken
on more interesting look. Any of the
eight clubs, by strong squirt, could be
contender for the three honor posi-
|tions, and the fact that Palmer's bunch
has been ousted from the top has
caused the lower teams to take heart.
From now on, every team of the league
may be counted upon to fight for every
game. The Salt Lakes, from poor
start. have proved of championship
caliber, and are now ensconsed in third
place with a comfortable margin over
their nearest competitor. This seasons
teams are admittedly stronger as a
whole, than those of last year, and to
this fact is due the close contests which
have prevailed in almost every league
game. Manager Mccormick of the
Mccormick team is determined to rise
from his cellar position, and still has
hope of being near the top when the
season closes. Santa Barbara has a
strong team, and the fight for first
place looks to be between the Channel
city aggregation and San Diego. Sun
days contests will be watched with
more than ordinary interest by the
fans, as several positions in the per-
centage column are sure to be changed
as a result.
The McCormicks mix in a double
header at San Bernardino, Sunday at
ternoon, the Salt Lakes and Pasadena
play two contests at the Crown City
with the Maiers tackling Santa Bar
bara for two games. "Scotty" Allen
will do the umpiring at Pasadena, Coy
heneix at Santa Barbara and Fernan-
dez at San Bernardino. Following are
the lineups:

BAPTISTS PLEDGE FOR PROHIBITION
"A Ride on the Water Wagon" Was Address Heard
at the Recent Convention. Adopted Strong Resolutions

Firmly for prohibition the South
ern Baptist convention adjourned in
Louisville, KY, last Tuesday night,
after meeting of five days. Almost
the final act of the thousands of
delegates from every state in the
south was the passage of a set of
strong resolutions endorsing the
fight against whisky, presented as
the report of the temperance COM
mittee. There was not a dissenting
vote
An address was made by Clinton
N. Howard of Rochester, N. Y, en-
titled "a Ride on the Water Wagon, ."
after which funds were collected to
aid in the work of temperance.
Following is the report in part of
the committee on temperance;
There is expended in this country
every year for strong drinks some
thing over $2,000,000,O00. Among
the results of this traffic in intoxicat-
ing liquors are the loss of 100000
lives each year, 50 per cent of the
murders in the country, IS per cent.
of all crimes, rs per cent of di-
vorces and 40 per cent of insanity.
I'VE are glad to report that six
of the fifteen states comprising the
territory of this convention have
abolished the traffic entirely from
their borders, while all the others
have abolished it from a large pro-
portion of their territory. We con-
fidently expect the time to come soon

SWATS POT" RATES.
Savannah Protests Against Atlanta
Being Given Advantage Over
Other Georgia Towns.

From the Savannah Press.
The meeting of the directors of
the chamber Of commerce which will
be held tomorrow evening will be
unusually interesting.
One of the matters that will be
submitted for their consideration will
be the report of Secretary Joseph F.
Gray on the port rate question.
Along with it will be a resolution
authorizing the appointment of a
committee to act with Mr.. Gray in
opposing the Atlanta scheme of port
rates. The resolution will authorize
the committee to attend the hearing
before the railway commission, and
at the proper time to ask if the rates
Atlanta wants put in effect for it's sole
benefit are given they be made the
basis of like reductions to all points.
Savannah intends that if any point is
to be helped that it would be unfair
not to help all others The directors
will insist on the proposition clear
through.
The Savannah idea is proving a
popular one, and every mail brings
to Secretary Gray letters asking for
copies of the circular that will be
printed by direction of the chamber
of commerce and which will embody
the points laid down by Mr. Gray.

This great accumulation of gold

The gold was brought from San

These guards, armed like dime novel

NEGROEs In PROFESSIONS.
Segregated Sections Furnish Oppor.
tunity for Practice.

A great factor in building up the
negro professional class. which is
getting to be more and more in evil
dence in the north, is the heavy mi
grafton from the south which creates
field for negroes.
Large segregated sections of ne.
groes like the Second, Third and
Fourth wards of Chicago and the
Seventh ward in Philadelphia have
been responsible for the growth OF
the great city churches and the de-
velopment of a new type of minister
as well as for the multiplication OF
physicians, lawyers, dentists and
teachers.
According to the census reports OF
1900 there were then in the north
ern states among the negroes $500
clergymen, 100 dentists, 2S0 lawyers,
2,11S musicians and teachers of mu-
sic, 141 government officials, 474
physicians and surgeons, 2,319 teach
ers and professors in colleges, sos
in other professions and 1885 actors
and showmen.
Some negroes have held petty
judgeships and some have held other
public positions connected with the
profession of law. There are two as
sistant United States district attor-
neys-one in Boston and one in Chi
cago, one graduate of Harvard and
the other of the University of Michf-
gan. There are in Chicago an as
sistant states attorney, an assistant
county attorney and an assistant city
attorney who are negroes, and at the
last election for municipal judges in
that city a negro was defeated for a
judgeship by less than 500 votes.
During the last ten years many ne
gro lawyers who originally practiced
in the south have moved to the
large cities of the north, where thew
say they md larger Opportunity.
