c. j, NOT TO ENTER
COLLEGIATE GAMES
Blue and Gray Decides Against
Having Men in Competition
in Big Track Meet.

It has been decided upon by the ath-
letic association at Georgetown not to
send any of the track team to the meet
in Boston. which will be held the 18th
and Goth Of this month.
Manager Darr of the Georgetown
team had very hard work in getting
his team in this big intercollegiate
meet when he went to New York last
winter for the purpose of making a
speech at the Collegiate \. A. meeting.
He was promised permission. If he
would be able to send men to the meet.
Last week it was understood that the
manager was endeavoring to raise $500
to send ten men to Boston. He knew
that it would cost about $50 for each
man at the lowest and believed that he
would be able to get together this
sum Of money by subscription. 1t
seems that he was unable to do. this,
and for this reason the men will not
go to Boston
There is absolutely no money in the
athletic association treasury. but If
there was the association would allow
the men to go north. The base ball
team lost a great deal of money, and
team too, did not make any money,
and that the treasury is without any
ready money. The only thing that
seems to pay well at Georgetown is
the foot ball team. and sufficient
money is raised by the foot ball team
to pay for the running of the other
SDOrtS.

BOUND FOR C0AN RIVER.
U. S. Army Steamer to Convey Snag
Fuller to West Point.

Under the command of Capt. Will am
Bell. the United States Army steamer
Castle has left here for Coan river to
pick up the snag pulling boat York and
take her to West Point. The York, which
spent the winter at this city and was
given a thorough overhauling while lying
here. left Wash ngton about three weeks
ago. bound for the York river and its
tributaries She went under her own
power as far as Coan river. and from
there II was figured that the engineer S
new power launch Col. Leach would tow
her to West Point Delay in comp etlnS
the Col. Leach prevented this being
DONE and the launch came direct to this
city from Baltimore.
About ten days ago the Castle went to
Coan for the purpose of taking the York
to its destinat on, but heavy gale came
UP and blew for four days hard enough
to make it unsafe for vessel of the
York kind to attempt to brave the Chesa
peake waves. The Castle was due back
at this city to take Col. Langfitt on a
tour of inspection over the district and
this forced her to return here without
moving the York. from where she had
been lying for two weeks or longer Ii
is thought however. that before the end
of this week the York VIII have reached
it's destination. She is to be used in
moving logs and other distractions out
of the channel of the tributaries of the
York river.

the purpose of checking them up. The

hut that the natural tendency to charge
things to operating expenses which are
in the nature OF profits together with
the different interpretations of the law
and the regulat tons o. the Treasury De-
partment is responsible. Chief Speer
of the corporation tax division saws that
the instances of willful tax lodging are
so few and far between to render
them almost negligible. He says that.
instead of the law being a difficult one
to enforce. the cooperation that the di-
vision receives from the corporations
themselves makes it an easy one to exc
cute.
While all those corporations except those
specifically exempted are obliged to fur
niSh the government with returns show
ing their earnings. only about a fifth of
those required to make the returns have
to pay any tax In other words. out Of
the 2Ss.NH corporations required by law
to make returns to the internal revenue
bureau only :I3.0G0 have incomes netting
more than 5000, and therefore subject
to taxation
The details of the collection of the cor
poration tax have been worked out with
care. and the system gives such excel
lent results that it is expected to be con-
tinued as the nucleus of the system of
collecting the revenues under the pro-
posed income tax.

TEACHERS AND CHILDREN
FLOCK TO SEE PICTURES
Panama Canal and Balkan War Shown by
Interesting Motion Films at
the Belasco

Large numbers of local public school
teachers and pupils are guests this
afternoon jointly of The Star and Man
ager L. Stoddard Taylor of the Belasco
Theater to view the kinemacolor pic
lures of the making of the Panama
canal and of the Balkan war. Free
matinees are being given each day this
week except Saturday. starting at
3:15 o'clock.
The pictures portray wildly the
scenes i'm their natural colors and all
are highly interesting in character.
Possibly none of the Panama pictures
will prove more interesting to them
than that of the great toothed steam
shovels which "eat" several tons of
rocks and earth at a time. Gigantic
blasts that blow up great mountains of
earth in a moment also are feature.

fences.
One of the most interesting features
of the films. and one which it is said is
being seen in Washington for the first
time. is that of the animated maps.
In the case of the Balkan map the pic
ture exhibits what seems to be an ordi-
nary school book map. But in a moment

showing perhaps the invasion of the

A joint resolution directing that the
executive order issued by former Presi.

Senator Overman stated that, con-

thought the Postmaster General has
gone quite far enough when he issued his
order that all fourth-class postmasters
should submit to an examination. Sena-
tor Gallinger said that he believes the
civil service had been efficiently admins
tered. notwithstanding the many criti-
cisms which have recently been made.
