ROPER At THE HELM.
Named as athletic Director at
Princeton UmUersitU.

William W. Roper, who coached the
Princeton football eleven in 1906. 1907 and
1908, has been recommended by the grad
uate advisory committee for the position
of director of athletics at Princeton for
one year at a salary said TO be $4,000.
The appointment must be ratified by the
board of trustees of the university at it's
February meeting.
The graduate advisory committee, con-
sisting of Tracy II. Harris. S. of New

York; Robert Garrett, 81 of Baltimore,
and Howard H, Henry, '04, of Philadel-
phia, has been thrashing out the field of

William W. Roper, '02; A. r. T. Hifle-
brand. 90: Roscoe r. Sheffield, 02 and
II. L. Dowd, 09. All these men were
prominent players in their time, and all
have had wide coaching experience.
Last fall Jim Mccormick, the brilliant
plunging fullback of three years ago. act
ed as head coach under the direction of

not prove satisfactory, and the appoint
ment of Bill Roper is made in effort to
solve vexed question on athletic control.

CENSUS or NEGROES.
Enumerdtors of That Race To
BE AppOinted.
rFrorn The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington, Jan. at is estimated by
officials that the approaching census will
show approximately 100000 negroes in the
United States Tho census ten years ago
fixed the negro population at SS4o.7S9. while
the census of 1890 reported 7.4ss.7SS negroes.
Instructions were issued to-day by f.
Dana Durand director OF the census, de-
fining the conditions relative to the en-
ployment of negroes as census enumer-
ators. So far as competent men are avaia-
BILE, negroes will be appointed to count the
members Of their race in those enumeration
districts in which two-fifths or more of the
population consists of negroes. Mr.. Du-
rand does not regard it as desirable that
negroes should be appointed to enumerate
white families in the South, and he has
Informed the supervisors that in many dis
tricts it will be necessary to appoint both
white and a negro enumerator.
In his letter of instructions to the super
visors Mr.. Durand says:
1t is exceedingly important to the inter-
ests of the people of the United States, and
particularly to the people OF the Southern
States. that the coming census should give
complete and accurate informa ton with
regard to the negro race. 1t is probable
1O,OJOOO0 of that race in the United States
In large districts in the South negroes con-
in fact in many of the enumeration dis
tricts established by the Census Bureau
they will constitute from 75 70 nearly 100
per cent of the population
Negroes can doubtless obtain the infor-
nation required by the census from MEM
berS of their own race more accurately
than white enumerators You are there
fore hereby directed TO select negroes as
enumerators of the negro population, so far
as competent negroes offer themselves for
the position, in those enumeration districts
in which large proportion of the popu-
lation, say two-hfthS or more, consists
of negroes.
On the other hand, / do not consider il
desirable that in the South negroes appoint
ed enumerators should be authorized to
enumerate white families. 1t is certain
that in many. if not most. parts of the
South negro enuneratorS would not be able
TO obtain as accurate statistics regarding
the white population as white enumerators
could. 1t will, therefore. be necessary i'm
many enumeration districts to appoint both
a white enumerator and colored emu
merator. In order that the entire popuIa-
tion may be properly enumerated
1t is understood, of course, that all ap-
plicants for the position of enumerator.
whether white or colored, should be sub
jected to such tests regarding their eff
cheney as may be prescribed. in order that
only competent persons may be employed

sistence that it was a patriotic duty which
he owed to the city.
District Attorney Whitman was intro
duced TO the grand jurors by the court
and stayed throughout the courts fnstruc-
tions to them Judge OSuIlivan said:
Statements have been spread broadcast
In the public prints that New York ts
centre clearing house for organized
traffic in women for immoral purposes, or
what has come TO be known as the white
slave traffic. Some OF these statements
may have been published with Interior mo-
tIves and may have been mere sensational
ism. but some also are said TO be based
upon official investigation and charges
made by persons who profess TO have
knowledge Of the fact
IL this SO-called white slave traffic ex-
ISIS, is not enough that we should await
federal action or that We should seek nav
legislation TO stamp il out New legisla-
tion will not accomplish anything IN the
way of furnishing crimes committed before
the enactment OF such legislation We
must look TO the law as 1T is now
An examination of our penal law dis
closes that the existing law is adequats
to punish offences OF this nature.
The main object which I desire you 70
keep in mind throughout the investigation
Is the unccvering not alone of Isolated Of
fences. but of an organization. If any such
exists. for this traffic The law may never
succeed in stamping out individual viola
tions of the law. but. gentlemen. its ma
chinery is at YOUR command The wealth
of this opuIent city IS at Your call The
sympathy and sentiment OF its decent and
law abiding citizenTy are with you.
Your inquiry should not be satisfied with
a half way answer. If organized traffic in
women exists in this city. the law Is ade-
quate to end IL and punish the persons
gagged in 1t. II such traffic does not exist.
your inquiry should end forever the sensa-
tional SANDERS against the city OF New
York.
With the conclusion OF this charge ths
grand jurors were told TO begin their
duties.
District Attorney Whitman said he would
take the first opportunity TO request the
public to furnish him with any evidences
known to exist in regard to the alleged
white slave traffic. He said he had placed
the investigation in the hands OF Assistant
District Attorney Appleton Mr.. Whitman
added that he believed a number Of epni-
nent men would gladly come forward to aid
in the investigation.

So Says Murray, Deposed
Baseball MANAGER.

Philadelphia. JAN 3.-Wiliam j. Murray,
deposed manager of the Philadelphia Ma
tional League Baseball Club, and Horace
Fogel, the new president of that organiza-
tion, failed to come to an agreement to-
day at meeting held to consider terms
on which Murray would surrender his con-
tract with the club.
This contract, which was made by the
former owners of the club, calls for the
payment of $500 a year salary, and has
two more years TO run The new owners
of the club are anxious to install another
manager, and they offered Murray 5000 to
resign without litigation. This Murray re-
fused to do, and said that he would place
his case in the hands of the national COM
mission
Another meeting will be held tomorrow,
at which counsel representing the new
owners, Murray and the former owners
will consider the legal aspects of the case.
Besides the $4,000 claimed by Murray on
his contract, the club owes him $500 on
last years salary.

4 BASEB4LL RULING.
Commission Decides Il gainst
Minor Leagues.

Cincinnati, Jan. 3.-The national baseball
commission at meeting here tonight
denied the request of the Glass c and D
leagues for an amendment of the rule con-
corning the purchase of minor league
players.
The attention OF the commission was
called to the case by j. r. Farrell. secre-
tary of the National Association, who sub
mitted a resolution offered at the recent
meeting held at Memphis by the Glass c
and d leagues, requesting that rule Sc be
amended so that minor league players can
be purchased by one minor league club
from another without having such players
report to the purchasing club on or before
the beginning of the major league drafting
season
AS the rule now stands, when minor
league players are purchased by one minor
league club from another and they do not
report by September l they are subject to
draft from the clubs that they are with
on August 20. The commission in its rul-
ing says;
We reiterate that if the rule was
changed so as to cover the request as now
made it would be detrimental not only to
the major league and Class A clubs. but
all players operating under organized base
ball as well.
The statement recently issued bv the
commission shows the amounts expended
by major league clubs alone during the
last year for drafted and purchased play
ers to be about S300.000 and in addition to
this. if all the players in question are IN
be retained payments amounting to practl-
caily $4,000 additional are made This
shows that the minor league interests have
been fully protected. The request of the
Class c and d leagues is therefore re-
fused

A good yarn is told of the final round for
the Irish golf championship at Newcastle,
County Down. In the course of the day
Mr. Mitchell, the title holder, and his OPP
ponent were caught in one of those heavy
showers for which Newcastle is notorious.
The champion turned up the collar of his
Jacket, but finding he had pin with
which to fasten IL about his throat he
asked his caddie If he could obige him:
The caddie fumbled at the foot of his
waistcoat, failed to find what he wanted,
and then, taking off his cap. hesitatingiy
two he replied: We'll, sor, I have a pin;
but, sure it fastens a little bit av white
heather in me cap. and that's for good
luck for you, sor'
'Ah, you are the right sort" said Mr..
Mitchell; ION no account remove your
white heather" A pin was secured from
another quarter, and the white heather re-
mained in that caddie's cap until the cham
pionship safe in his masters keeping
a foreign exchange publishes some inter-
csting facts worth knowing to golfers:
The longest hole in the world, so far as
can definitely be ascertained, is the 7O0-yard
hole at Evians-les-B -Bains, France Four
years ago there was a hole 500 yards ia
length on the old Hampden County Golf
Club. at Chicopee Falls. but when the Ok
ford Club was Joined to this club the hole
was given UP.
The largest club connected with golf is
the Mid-Surrey Club, which now has a
membership of 1000 and waiting list of 800
more.
An interclub match of one hundred play
ers a side took place between Mortonhall
and the Edinburgh Burgess Club in 1901.
This is probably the record for the biggest
team match.
Some years ago the championship of New
Zealand was won by Maori chief.
A match was once played where the bet
ter player gave his opponent a start OF
fifty yards at each hole.
In Scotland there used TO be a proverb
that If you called fore three times and
then drove into a man and killed him the
law would hold you guiltless.
The open championship OF America has
never been won by an American born.
The lowest score ever made over an
eighteen hole round, so far as be ascer-
tained, is SO. made by Wilson, the profess
sional, at Oban.
Claud Felstead. the brilliant young Vic

Among the commercial vehicles being ex-
hibted at the Palace show. the Grabowsky
Wagon Company. of Detroit. is arousing
much interest. One feature that has made
the Grabowsky line especially distinctive is
the removable bower plant. This is a COM
plete unit, combining the two-cylinder mo-
tor the transmission and control which, by
removing two bolts and breaking six quick
detachable connections allows the entire
power plant TO be drawn out from the
front of the car exactly as one would pull
out the drawer of a desk.

Friction driven automobiles are growing
more popular In 1905. when the Cartercar
was shown for the first time at the Palace,
it was looked upon as a freak. At present
there are thousands of these cars i'm service.
The fexiblity of the friction transmission
has made il favorite There is no jerking
in starting or stopping, no noise when driv-
ing on the slower speeds no racing of the
motor. and the car has wonderful hill climb
ling ability, because all power is utilized to
as great advantage on the lower speeds as
on high.
At the big exhibit of INLAND cars at the
Palace is the scout car which was recently
driven seventeen thousand miles in diff
ferent parts of the country.
