N. A. c. WILL START
BASKET BALL AGAIN
First Time in Over Four Years
That College Has Been
Thus Represented.

For the first time In over four years
the Maryland Agricultural College Is
to be represented on the gymnasium
floor by a basket ball team. AT a
meeting of the athletic council few
days ago it was decided to put the
game on a solid footing at the school
and give it a place among the major
sports 1t was decided that the col
lege letter M" should be awarded
those participating in the sport, the
same as is given in base ball, foot ball
and track.
Five years ago the authorities abol-
ished the game from the athletic cur
riculum of the school, as it was at that
time practically q dead letter as far as
interest among the students was con-
cerned. While the team that year was
above the average and won several
games from good teams. 1t was held
that the sport was not benefiting the
student body at large and that 1T would
be best to drop it. The last game
played was against the University Of
Maryland and resulted in score of
II to Is, in favor of the Baltimore
team.
The students desired to take UP the

Burden on National Banks.

Prof Sprague points out that If, for

for the trust companies to contract

banks to shoulder the burden in order
to save the local situation. There was

normal condition of strength, and that
those outside of New York and St Louis
were in a slightly stronger condition in
1907 than In 1906. The upward tendency
OF loans was no. SO marked i'm New
York as in the case of the banks in
general. The s4os 100000 of New York
bank loans in 1897 was nearly 20 per
cent of all the loans of the national
banks. while the $4,000. 600 in 1907 was
just above ID per cent Of the total The
increase in the deposits of state banks
and trust companies however held by
the national banks of New York was
striking. and. Prof. Sprague thinks, might
well have been considered alarming In
ten years. from 1897 to 1907 the net de-
posts due national banks by those of
New York increased from s155.OOO. 600 to
$2lS,SOO.OOO. while net deposits due to
state banks. trust companies. etc. in:

From a little more than one-third the
aggregate of bankers deposits In 1897
the deposits due to state Institutions had
become In 1907 almost equal to those due
to the national banks. The ease with
which the growth of the trust companies
made possible the shifting of tens of
millions of loans and deposit liabilities

SENTENCE OF DAILY

His Ne'ghbors at Mesa Thought He
 Would Get More.

The news of the sentence imposed upon James Daley of this place by Judge Kent yesterday morning. fixing his term in the penitcntiary at six years. was received at this place with not little surprise. It has been understood for some time that Daley realized that he was in for severe term and that he would consider ten years easy enough under the circum- stances. expecting of course to get out on good behavior at something like six years actual time. The fact that Daley Was allowed to plead guilty and receive his sentence has "f course it's merits which are appreciated by the citizens and taxpayers generally. One of the important reasons for consid- criEg the course pursued st commend abel one is that a long drawn out trial would not only be an expensive procedure but that it would not only drag the name of the girl through the mire again but also q number of the citizens of the town who by the method accepted will keep them inn -nlune

WAS BLUE RIBBON BRAND.

In the list given yesterday of thoes present at the old folks dinner wear ing blue ribbons the name of George Bowen was omitted. This may prob ably be accounted for from the fact that just preceding the announcement of dinner there was some question raised as tp Mr. Bowen's age and whether he was entitled to even wear q red ribbon or not. IL was brought out that he has a way of acting old just a few days before the annual dinner which always gives him a place up near the front However. it has been learned from some of Mir. Bow ems closest friends that it will be but a short time until he will pass from the blue ribbon to the white and then he will have ten years of that and by the end of that time the reporters will become so accutomcd to seeing him at the old folks din- ners that they will know in just what class he belongs

CIRCUS DAY HAS
 AGAIN ROLLED AROUND
Mesa is Found to be in Readiness

The day for the annual appearance
 arrived and an afternoon performance as well as free street parade will be
 given today. one of the real features,
 however. at least a feature which has
 received d good deal of the company s
 advertising is that the price has been
 reduced from fifty to twenty-five
 cents for admission. The reasons for this reduction is said to be on account of circus war brought about OF ac-
 count of a combination. It makes little difference to the people whether there is a circus trust or not for what reason the prices are lowered. The real item that interests show goers IS
 that the prices are lower and the show has been kept up to it's high standard.
 The Sclls-F'loto shows upon the "c- casiun of their last visit here were worth the money that it cost to see them. It is claimed that this season the aggregation is even better and that numerous additions have been
 made as well as the retention of all the good features of last year.
 one of things that is particularly in favor of the show today IS that they winter in the west and com mcnce their season in this section oi the country Last season the show when it appeared here had been out but q few weeks. The horses were m fine condition and the people with the show were not worn out by "a sea
 son of hard work. There will b" only one performance given at Mesa. and 1, that will be this afternoon. Tonight all those who have not had enough pleasure for one day will be accom- modated by a dance at the Mesa opera house The Harmon orchestra ! of Phoenix has been secured for the occasion. and a good time IS guar anteed.
 There is another thing that must I not be forgotten after the parade and before the opening of the show. and ! that will be the Rebekah dinner a' the Mesa opera house. All kinds "i { good things will be there to cat
