Olympic Games Cause France to
Take Up Sports.
Owing to Generosity of Marquis the
First French Athletic College ls
Being Built-WiIl Soon Admit
Students.

Paris. France.-France has decided
to take up athletics seriously. Hither
to in France athletes have had nc
public sentiment behind them and nc
public support financially There has
been lacking the incentive Of applause
to arouse enthusiasm, and what few
men have gone in for sport have done
so from pure love Of it-and they have
been very few.
But after the Olympic games at
Stockholm the French public woke UP
to the fact that their country was
making a pitiful showing.
When an obscure province like Fin
land startles the world by the prowess
of it's athletes, when far-off Japan and
Chile send men to these games and
France has but two representatives,
and one of these is girl tennis
player-it seems time that something
is done.
Hence there was created the idea
of a college of athletics" A commit
tee was formed last October which
issued a circular to the public.
The object first in mind was to take
charge of what athletic material there
was already and train 1t for entrance
in the Olympic games at Berlin in
1916, to try to gain some athletic hon
ors there if possible.
But 1t was seen at once that this
would be only beginning. If France
was to take it's proper position in the
athletic world there was need Of much
more than this. The idea was extend
ed to creating at the proposed college
OF athletes a school also for athletic
instructors, at the same time conduct
ing campaign Of publicity that would
interest the youth of the nation and
would lead in time to the establish
ment Of similar training colleges all
over the country.

There we're other objections, among
them that two professionals the as
sociation had engaged to conduct the

profits. This is contrary to the rules
regarding support by the Association

HATCHINe OF BROWNS PLOT
Old Frame House stu Stands Where
the Plan to Raid Harper's Ferry
Was First Broaehed.

At No. 1856 Congress street east De-
troit, Mich. just beyond St. Antoine
street, Is a modest two-story frame
house. There Is nothing In It's outward
appearance 10 distinguish II from
others in the locality, or the thou
sands who daily traverse that thor
oughfare few cast even glance IN its
direction. They know nothing OF what
happened there,
Every schoolboy knows OF John
Brown and the spectacular raid he led
upon Harpers Ferry The affair was
one OF the stirring events preceding
the long warfare In behalf OF united
country. John Brown was eulogized
in song and story,
All this 10 familiar to every Detroit
er, yet few know that In this city were
formulated the plans which resulted
in this raid and that the campaign
was outlined in an upper room OF the
little frame house IN Congress street.
1t was back in 1859 that Detroit re-
ceived q visit from John Brown. He
was then famous the country over as
the moving spirit in the League OF
Gileadites, a body sworn to stand to-
gether in their labor of freeing slaves.
His work in Kansas as leader
against the border rufians was fresh
in mind, as were the murder Of hye
pro-slavery men at Pottawatomie, the
capture of General Pate at Black Jack
and the defense of Ossawatomie. So
when Brown arrived in Detroit March
-, 1859, accompanied by five men and
conveying a party of 10 negro refugees
bound for Canada via the under
ground railway" it was a great occa-
sion for the abolitionists, with whom
Detroit teemed
Either through coincidence or as
the result OF a prearranged plan,
Frederick Douglass, a noted negro ora
tor, arrived in Detroit the same day
as Brown, addressing a mass meeting
that evening.
After the meeting Brown, Douglass,
George de Baptiste, DR.. J. Ferguson.
William Webb and others went to the
Webb home at No. 1856 Congress street,
where a meeting was held.
Here, behind closed doors and with
every man present sworn to secrecy,
Brown divulged his plan to raid the ar
senal at Harper's Ferry That the sug-
gestion met with the approval of ma
jority of those present is certain.
1t was well toward daybreak when
the meeting broke up, and the partici-
pants scattered to their homes Brown
snatched a few hours sleep and with
his followers left Detroit. The next
the public heard from him was
when, with a handful of followers, he
attacked the arsenal at Harper's Fer
ry. How he was captured after being
seriously wounded with two dead sons
at his side, tried, convicted and
hanged is a matter of common knowl-
edge.
Just what took place in the house
has never been set forth save in a
fragmentary manner. There are diff
ferences of opinion as to the influence
this raid exerted upon subsequent
happenings. But whatever the conclu-
sions, the fact remains that Detroit
bears the distinction of having been
the place where the plan received its
first impetus
