PRINCETON ENTERS ROWING GAME
Engages in intercollegiate Match,
First In Thirty Years.

NEW YORK, Feb. l2.-For the first
time since the early 'SOs Princeton ath-
ietes will engage in an intercollegiate row
ing event. The Princeton crew will race
the Naval academy eight on the Severn
river on April 30. For the past few years.
since the completion Of Carnegie lake
made aquatic events. possible In Jungle
town, the Tigers have held interclass races
on the artificiaily constructed lake. The
announcement that Il contest had been
scheduled with the middies makes it quite
probable that a Princeton shell will figure
in the intercollegiate events of future
years. The Tigers may either appear at
~Poughkeepsie, New London or at the
American Henley, but IL is not likely tina
the Princeton oarsmen will enter into any
other intercollegiate contests this season.
Spring training will begin there shortly.
Rowing was taken up at the New Jersey
institution early in the sos, and the
first few Appearances which Princeton
made in college rowing circles brought
gratifying results TO the followers Of the
orange and black, but accommodation
were not adequate for training and inter
est in the sport died out. The flooding
Of a section OF land and the creation OF
Carnegie lake awoke a dormant enteau-
siasm which has materialized in the fixing
Of a date for a Princeton Naval academy
race.
incidentally, the navy crew schedule Is
as follows: April 30, Princeton; May Z. Col
umbia; May IA, Georgetown Georgetown
varsity and freshmen against Naval acad-
envy first crew and fourth class crew.;
May q. Syracuse. Other races will be ar
ranged for the second crew and fourth
class crew OF the academy.

RACES IN HEART OF AFRICA
zambesi River Chosen as the Scene of
World Contests.


NEW YORK, Feb. R.-concerning the
coming worlds sculIing championship. to
be held in the summer in the heart of
Africa, a well known London authority
says:
Arrangements have been made for a
match during the summer for the cham
pionship of the world between Richard
Arnst OF New Zealand, the holder, and
Ernest Barry, champion of England. There
was a time when the natural scene OF SO
important a contest would have been the
River Thames, and even in days when the
grand challenge cup passes most of it's
time in Belgium. and the trophies of polo
and lawn tennis are In other h~emispheres.
the idea Of the ~sculling championship be-
ing decided so far afield as the Zambesi
river will come with something OF a shock
to those who have not realized the extraor-
binary expansion. which sport Of all kind
has undergone during the past decade.
August Is or Is has been suggested as the
most suitable date, and the English cham
pionships interests seem to nave been well
looked after by the two famous scullers,
each a former holder of the wingfields and
the Diamonds, who nave been chiefly as
ISOLATED with the organization of the
match.
THE men are to scull for a purse of
5000 Of which sS,75O goes to the winner
and 81, $50 to the loser; and the expenses,
which will be necessarily heavier thar
usual, will, it is hoped. be provided by sub
scription.
I'm order to ave sufficient time for
training over the course OF about three
and a half miles. between the Victoria
falls and the rapids of the Zambesi river,
Barry will have to leave London in June,
and will. throughout his practice, be in the
capable hands of Tom Sullivan. He weigh
under twelve stone at present, and will at
once begin sculling on the Thames with a
view to the thorough preparation neces-
sary for so important an event. 1t is to be
wished that the full championship distance
for four and a quarter miles mai be possl-
Bile, for Barry is a fine slayer, and like many
Of the best, does not show his real pace
until he has done a mile .or so. Every one
will wish him the good fortune of being
able to become the first home-born cham
pion of the world whom England has pro-
duced for more than thirty years"

Catarrh is not merely an affection of the mucous membranes; tits

In Catarrh is due entirely to the fact that such measures do not reach

S.SS cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all impure catarrhal

SPLIT ALONG
PARTY LINES
BELIEVED CERTAIN THAT BAL
LINGER-PlNCHOT INV STiGA-
TIONS CANNOT TURN IN A
UNANIMOUS REPORT.

Washington, April 1.-The Ballin-
ger-Pinchot hearing was resumed to-
day with Secretary Ballinger's counsel
in charge of the presentation of evi-
dence. AS the hearing progresses in
dications multiply that the congress
sional committee is so seriously split
along party lines that unanimous re-
port is beyond the bounds Of possibil-
ity. The Democratic members have
notified their Republican colleagues
that they will participate in the execu-
tive sessions of the committee only
upon the understanding that they
shall be free to announce their votet
and contentious during the public sit
tings. The executive sessions have
not been very harmonious.
Nelson and Brandeis Clash.
The taking of testimony was inter-
rupted today by serious clash among
the members. Chairman Nelson ac-
cused Attorney Brandeis of conceal
ing certain facts and brought from the
latter demand that the remarks be
stricken from the record, together
with the intimation that if the chair
man followed the proceedings more
closely he would see where his remark
was unjust Some of the Democratic
members moved to direct the chair
man to withdraw his remarks and it
was this motion that brought on a
quarrel which lasted nearly an hour.
Nelson refused to withdraw his state
ment. A motion to lay the whole mat
ter on the table was finally adopted.

words created mild sensation. He
contrasted the influence Of the east in

Of organizing the Ohio Society Of

"There is only one thing want to

STRENUOUS meet
CITY FATHERS RECOMMEND THE
PASSAGE FOR MAYOR PHILLIPS
STREET ORDINANCE.

sion in which many important matters
were up, the city council last evening
as a committee Of the whole recon-
mended the passage Of Mayor Phil
lips ordinance regarding the blockad-
ing Of the streets by carriages, wagons,
etc. The recommendation Of the coun-
Gil for the passage Of the mayors ordi-
nance ends the strife between the city
fathers and the city executive. Mayor
Phillips recommended the ordinance
some time ago, but the committee OF
the whole deferred action on 1t, until
the mayor in a fiery speech to the city
council at the adjourned meeting Tues
day evening scored them for their ac-
tion. But the council did not pass the
ordinance without some changes. The
changes made include the allowing OF
farmers to leave their wagons or car
riages on the street while they have
their horses in blacksmith shop or
in feed stable.
The committee of the whole last
light also recommended the paving OF
North Holt street These two import
ant matters will be brought up at the
council meeting Monday night and
passed accordingly. Special Poll Tax
Collector B. G. Koons appeared be-
fore the committee Of the whole re.
lative to some poll tax suits. The

MEASURE AS REPORTED HAS
MANY ORIGINAL FEATURES
ELIMINATED, BUT COMMERCE
COURT PROVISION is RETAINED
MINORITY REPORT
ALSO PRESENTED
MORE DRASTIC PROVISIONS ARE
SOUGHT; SENATOR BAILEY IN.
PRODUCES BILL FOR CAM
PAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

Washington, D. c., April 1.-The adj
ministration's railroad bill was report
ed to the house today. Many of it's
original features are eliminated, but
it still has provisions for commerce
court, the regulation of railway agree
ments, the consolidating, securities,
rates and routes.
The majority report cites the inl-
provement in regulating railroads pro-
vided by the Hepburn law, but says
experience shows some important mat
ters which should be the subject of
government control are not now with
in the scope Of the commissions au-
thority. Various subjects coming un-
der this head are discussed and the
necessity Of embracing them within
the law pointed out.
The minority report opposes the
commerce court, the change in the law
requiring notice and hearings on re-
straining orders, and the provisions
legalizing agreements among carriers
il filed, even If not approved by the
commission.
The minority object to the COM
merce courts being authorized to legal
ize consolidation by permitting the
acquisition of one competing line by
another. They also object to the re-
peal Of the proviso which forbids the
of the act to interstate
transportation.
With the exception Of Sims and Rus
sell, the minority condemn the pro-
visions as to competing lines and
stocks and bonds as unwarranted i'll
reference with local authority, as cal
culated to favor established lines, TO
discourage new lines and prevent
further development in the sections
which need more facilities.
Introduces Publicity Bill.
Sen. Bailey introduced bill provid-
ing for the publication of campaign
contributions. A similar measure has
been ordered favorably reported by
the committee on election of president,
vice president and members of con-
gress, but Chairman Gaines has not
yet presented the report.
An immigration Report.
Senator Dillingham;, chairman of the
Joint immigration commission, sub
mitted a report to congress today.
The most important statement relates
to the situation in Canada, where the
report shows the policy is to encour-
age immigrants, whose purpose is to
enter agricultural pursuits and keep
out those whose presence tends to
congestion Of cities and towns. The re-
port also shows that 10 per cent of
Canada's immigrants during the past
decade came from northern and west
ern Europe and only thirty per cent
from southern and eastern Europe
The reverse is true as to the United
States.
Brief Filed in Rate Case.
The biggest freight rate fight since
the passage Of the Hepburn rate bill
entered upon it's first stages when the
government filed in the supreme court
of the United States brief in the So
called Missouri river rate cases. They
involve interests Of manufacturers,
jobbers, merchants and railroads from
the Atlantic seaboard to the Rocky
mountains.
