COLLEGE STUDENTS IN DEBATE
Distinguished Audience Fills CASTOR
Hall at Georgetown.
Negative Team Wins I'm Arguing
Against Further Federal LegIs-
Iation TO Curb Trusts.

Maintaining that further legislation in
regard TO trusts was not only undesira-
bic but a factor likely TO bring about a
clash between State and Federal author
tiles. the negative team in the Merriek
debate. held last night at CASTOR Hall,
Georgetown University, was awarded the
decision.
The debate was held before an audi
ence including many men prominent in
official as we'll as in private and church
life.
Students from Trinity College. Fair
mont Seminary Chevy Chase College.
the Immaculate Seminary. Washington
College. and other schools were present
The debaters were: Affirmative, Edward
V. Carter. II. of Washington, and Charles
Angulo, IL. of Cuba: negative. Daniel F,
Mccain. jr., 10. of New York, and Ed
ward Q. Carr. 10. of New York.
J. Francis Cariin OF New York, presi-
dent of the Philodemic Society. pres
sided.
The Affirmative debaters based their
arguments on the fact that further legis-
lation to curb the power OF the trusts
was only for the good Of the people. that
the law governing trusts should be prop
erly enforced. and that such legislation
rested not so much on the potency as
on the necessity OF further legislation.
On the other hand. the negative. deplor-
ing the recognized concentration Of capt
tai. held that the present laws. II prop
erly executed, were sufficient TO govern
the trusts. and that further legislation
would result In immediate clash between
State and Federal legislatures.
Representative Joseph a. Goulden, Of
New York, in announcing the decision
of the judges. including Representative
Richard Young. of New York. and
Charles J. Murphy, declared that honor
was due both teams. and thanked them
for deciding the question forever.

bestowed on the best debater. the high
est honor that can be given a student OF
Georgetown, is withheld. according to
custom, until commencement day.

NOT AFFECTED By CAR STRIKE
Mail Car Carriers Spurn Aid Of
fered by Union.
Attorney General Wfckersham De
cIares Interference VIII Mean
More TroubIe-Taft Home.

Postmaster General Hitchcock said last
night that so far as he knew, there had
been no interference with the mails as a
result of the Philadelphia strike. He
said so long as the Rapid Transit Com
pany of Philadelphia lived up to its OBJ
legations with the government the depart
ment was not interested.
As a result of a telegram to Presi-
dent Taft from officers of the Carmen
Union, complaining that while the strikers
had offered to man and operate the mail
cars. the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany had spurned their aid. Attorney
General Wickersham wired the United
States district attorney at Philadelphia
yesterday TO look into the matter Of mail
transportation.
In his message to Thompson, the At
torney General made It plain that any
one. whether the strikers or the company,
interfering with the carrying Of the mail
was TO be dealt with summarily.
President Taft got back from his trip
to New York and Newark at 7:15 last
night. Senator Lodge. of Massachusetts,
and Senator Kean, Of New Jersey, came
back from Newark in the Presidents
private car. It was evident Mr.. Taft was
pleased with the way in which Newark
greeted him.
The memory was pleasant, and the
President smiled when he thought about
it.
According to good authority. President
Taft is still determined to appoint Fred
erick H. Bugher, deputy police commits
sioner of New York. TO succeed Gen.
James s. Clarkson as surveyor Of the
port Of New York, although opposition to
Mr.. Bugher has not died.
In company with Hugh Gordon Miller,
former Comptroller Herman Metz. of
New York City. and John Ball Osborne,
newly appointed representatives of the
United States at the coming Berlin ex-
position. Baron r Won Brandenstein. Of
Berlin, called at the White House. The
baron wanted to tell the President that
German manufacturers were not opposed
TO the exhibition OF American products
at the exposition. as has been reported.

eral others spoke Music was furnished
by the Uriel Davis Orchestra.
In the course OF his address, Dr. Wiley
alluded 20 his speech Of Thursday night
before the Cornell alumni, in which he
PUT himself on record as against CO.
education. After the storm Of comment
aroused by his speech, Or. Wiley said
he would take no chances by speaking
on a similar topic. but would confne
himself to the safer topic of veterinary
surgery.
He said a majority of the ills of domes-
tic animals are caused by the indigesti-
bility of the food they are fed. and stated
many of the by-products OF the cereal
mills are sent into the market to be used
as cattle feed with misleading and false
formulas and eoncealing bad properties
that they do possess, which, if known
would impair their selling value.
He said many of them contained the
sweepings Of the factory floors and were
full of dust and grit. He cited one case
where a man was found 20 be using q
formula six years old, although he had
chanGsd his process of manufacture sew
eral times in the interim.
DIT. Robinson, who followed DR.. Wiley
outlined the rapid rise Of veterinary sur
gerry, ard said in his opinion it had beer
too rapid, and that many important
things had been skipped.
Dr. Robinson made the startling state
ment that the Humane Society had de
generated into a financial institution.

ture who introduced these bills subse-
quent TO the session OF 1901. The most
important OF these witnesses was George

man Of the committee and who felt hurt
because Senator Conger testified that
Burnett had told Frank Conger he CBur-
nstt). needed the 5000 because he had
TO Look after the chairman and others.
Mr. Doughty said that because Sena-
tor Conger was the second member" on
the internal affairs committee, and was
interested in bridge construction. that
