MEN
MUST TESS UP
Stage Wants to Get to the
Bottom of Professional
Accusations

Chicago. Dec. 6-University of Chi
cago alumni who have won the &c"
by their athletic feats at Marshall
held are due for a revival of the old
fashioned game of truth" with fancy
trimmings. In order that the Maroon
institution may get a correct line on
the prevalence Of professionalism
they Will be called upon to make
clean breast concerning their amateur
standing while in college.
Coach Stages desire to know the
u~ntarnished facts regarding his old
players Is responsible for the move. He
Will make the investigation the basis
Of the data he will lay before the big
eight" representatives when they meet
IN chicago next month to decide
whether the present amateur stand
ards OF the conference are to be re-
tanned or thrown away. The honor
test Is expected to show whether the
common talk about tainted athletics
has a firm foundation.
Faculty Members Hold Exams
The examination will be in chraee
OF certain members of the university
faculty yet to be chosen. A commit.
tee. whcih may include alumni. will
be appointed to lay the proposition
before the old &c" men and work out
ways and means to obtain results.
Coach Stage and the professors who
have discussed the plan believe it will
bring out reliable statements. The
roll call will be conducted in such a
manner that all possible embarrass-
ment will be avoided. 1t is the in
tentfon at present to include all the
g men who have left Chicago in
the last ten years.
Others Beside Chicago
The Maroon coach said Chicago
work the truth" game. 1t is bcliev-
ed by the students that Wisconsin and
Purdue will make use of the plan.
I do not think that professionalism
is as common as some people say"
said Coach Stage. 1T is the con-
tention of some of the representatives
that a large proportion Of the athletes
perjure themselves when they sign the
statements demanded by the colleges.
It is not uncomfortable that some think
~three-tenths of the athletes might con-
fess to deceit of this kind. but it
would be a great blow to me to find
that any Of u men had been guilty.

WILL FIGHT IN.
PRIVATE MATCH

New York. Dec. Sword from
London is that Owen Moran and Jem
Driscoll are to fight to a finish for
the featherweight championship of
England in private. The pair was to
have met at Birmingham on Decem-
Der 2. but the authorities stopped the
quarrel. Both men are now under
bonds to keep the peace and have
abandoned the Birmingham idea en-
tirely.
Gerard Austin now wants to hold
the affair in private and has the con-
sent Of both Moran and Driscoll. His
scheme is to get 200 sportsmen over
there to put up 500 apiece. making
up a purse Of $4,000 and guarantees
that the bout would not be interfered
with.

AND cot 1T.

Pretty good story going the rounds
about the absolute confidence with
which Yale regarded a victory over
Harvard as a certainty. 1t seems
that last year after the tie there was
a mix-up about the ownership Of the
football. both captains being so angry
over defeat that neither would take

This year Langford before the game
said that the winning captain should
have the ball and in ease of a tie the
referee would take the pigskin. When
the scheme was outlined to Captain
Howe of Yale the latter laughed and
said, oh. there won't be any argu-
mcnt: We'll take the ball"

WANTS FAIRER VIEWS

II am in full sympathy,o said Pres
ident Taft in his Controller bay message,
'with the concern of reasonable and
patriotic men that the valuable resour-
ces Of Alaska should not be turned over
TO be exploited for the benefit Of greedy
absorbing and monopolistic corporations
or syndicates. Whatever the attempts
which have been made, no one, as a
matter of fact, has secured in Alask
any undue privilege or franchise not
completely under the control Of congress
[ am in full agreement with the view
that every care, both in administration
and in legislation must be observed to
prevent the corrupt or unfair acquisi-
ton Of undue privilege, franchise, or
right from the government in that dis
trict. But everyone must know that
the resources of Alaska can never be-
come available either to the people of
Alaska or to the public of the United
States unless reasonable opportunity IS
granted to those who would invest their
money to secure return proportionate
to the risk run in the investment and
reasonably under all the circumstances.
On the other hand, the acrimony Of
spirit and the intense malice that have
been engendered in respect Of the adj
ministration Of the government in AL
aska and in the consideration of meas
ures proposed for her relief and the
wanton recklessness and eagerness with
which attempts have been made to be-
smirch the characters Of high officials

A year had passed. Denny renewed
his suit for the hand Of Inez; and again
he asked her to be his bride, only again
to be told what had been told him be-
fore.
1t was pay day. The lights in the
club burned unusually bright, and wine
was flowing freely. Denny was the
II tar
tanning all corners, and upon him idle
compliments were showered spoken of
minds under the influence of wine. The
festivities were in a high state and
Giles jolly Good Fellow was re-
peatedly directed at the genial host
Of the evening.
It was long past the midnight hour
when Denny left the club and reeled
unsteady along the path toward his
quarters. The cool breeze from the sea
blew fresh in his face, cooling his few
erish brain for moment. For a mo-
ment his thoughts were rational. He
steadied himself and stopped, but the
flow of hot blood returned and he re-
sumed his reeing way to his quarters.
Denny was absent at reveille. An
orderly was sent to his quarters where
he received no response to his knock
though the door was locked on the in
side. The commanding officer was
notified, and the officer of the day
forced an entrance to the room.
Denny lay dead upon his bed. A
bullet had ended his life, the last hours
Of which had been hours Of remorse.
Peace he had sought with his Maker,
for on the table was a letter telling
of the duel fought between Livermore

Not long ago a lady visited Sitka

shed as that body was lowered beneath
the sod to wait the command Of Him,

Lincoln University Gets Request.

One of the most interesting announce
ments made at the meeting of the Board
of Trustees of Lincoln University, was
the fact that Mrs. Emily Meyer, of New
York City, had left fourth of her resid-
uary estate to Lincoln University. Har-
ward and Princeton were also favored
Mrs. Meyer visited Lincoln nine years
ago and was in the wreck at Elkview in
which several of the visitors to thes COM
mencement were injured. The institu-
ton was SO strongly stamped on her mem
ory by this event that she left it about
$50, 600 richer. A number of other gifts
were announced, amounting to about
$4,000 altogether. The endowment
fund of the university now reaches over
5000. The year just closing has been
most successful one from every point Of
view, although uneventful. The author
tiles are looking forward with much
pleasure to the entering next fall of James

Challenge To Liquor Dealers.

The Anti-Saloon League has mailed to
the Distillers, Brewers, Wholesalers and
Retail Liquor Dealers organizations in
Baltimore an unqualified challenge 10 get
any man anywhere in the country to meet
DIR. Straton in joint discussion if they dare
attempt it, and refute the proposition in
the First Prize Essay that it costs Balti-
more fifty million dollars year to get one
million dollars of high license revenue.
The League doesn't want to circulate
any document that is not true. We have
proposed that this meeting be held at the
Lyric SO that discriminating public can
judge the merits of the case. Failure on
the part of the liquor interests to respond
is confession. The League is sincere in
wishing for such discussion Failure
to respond viii constitute confession by
the liquor interests.

ROAD REVENUE.
Governor Crothers Discusses Its
Sources.

In an interview on Monday, Governor
Crothers discussed, at some length, road
revenues of the State. He stated that
by the end of the present year over $780,
600 in increased revenue would have
been taken in from three sources which
he advocated, and which are providing
the cash to pay the interest and provide
money for the sinking fund for the re-
demption of the present road bonds.
The Governor showed that $3ao, 600 had
been derived by the state in increased
revenue from the raising of the Inherit
ance tax from ~ to S per cent This
$32o,ooo, he showed is not the states
share of the bulk revenue from the tax,
but only its share from the increase.
From the increase in the liquor licenses
in Baltimore city and Baltimore county
he showed the state had derived $3.50, 1000.
while another $Ioo, 900 will be derived by
the end of the year from the revenues of
the office of the State Commissioner OF
Motor Vehicles. OF this amount $S4, 900
has already been taken in.
From the increase from these sources
the Governor showed that 100000 addi-
tional revenue had been secured by the
state, of which $I7o, 600 has been paid out
in interest and into the sinking fund for
the road bonds, leaving nearly $500. 600
remaining for the redemption Of the bonds.
The Chief Executive showed that up to
date about 200 miles of toll roads had
been purchased and are now free, and
also that by the end of the year, if the
weather continues good, between 900 and
$50 miles of state roads will have been
built The fact was also demonstrated
that the new roads loan can be taken care
of without additional taxation by careful
economy as outlined by the Governor
According to his plan, the state can
save $4,000 in legislative expenses, over
$4,000 by the purchase of supplies for
state institutions through a central agency,
a revenue of $4,000 net from the oyster
tax, about $4, 200 from the. fish and game
law, a saving of $25,oo by the reduction
of salaries of state officials, saving of
$4,000 in state appropriations, $500
more revenue from the state tobacco ware
house. $4,000 saving in printing con-
tracts and a number of other economies
that will produce saving or an addition
al revenue of over 100000 to care for the
bonds.
