WOULD HAVE TEAM
IN SECTION PLAY
Washington and Lee Man De-
sires Conference Of South
Atlantic Football Men.

That Virginia, Georgetown, Carolina
A and NJ. Washington and Lee. North
Carolina, Hopkins. and one other coll
lege should get together in football to
form a South Atlantic conference Cir
cult, is the opinion of David Barclay, a
prominent Washington and Lee alum
nus and former member of the fcothell
team.
Six or seven colleges in the section
annually claim the South Atlantic foot
ball title, and there is no way Of telling
just what team is eligible for the honor.
None Of the teams play each other in
any regular way that a title holder
could be determined. and Barclay be-
lieves that if the alumni associations Of
the various schools could get together
in some sort of agreement the teams
could be hooked up In a series.
In 1893 Barclay played tackle on the
Washington and Lee eleven. In those
days Cy Cummings was known as a
terror to all linemen in this section Of
the country. Both men have followed
the game since, and are in a position
to know something OF the status of foot
ball teams in this section. Barclay be-
iieves that If the proper steps are taken
all of the institutions named could be
gotten together for a regular series of
games.

DUCKP|NS ESCAPE
GR|FF'S FAST BALL
Cruel Words Are Being Said in
Regard to His Ability As a
Bowler.
By KIRK c. MILLER.

AS a bowler, Clark Griffith is being
touted as the best little baseball man
eger who ever stepped in the confines
OF Washington. The performance of
the Climbers manager when he rolled
with the Sherwoods in the Arcade
feague, Thursday night, is the most
evident reason for this queer reputa-
ton he has as a duckpin roller. and the
Old Fox is today smiling and taking
the many jests poked at him good
naturedly.
The score registered by Griff in the
one game through which he lasted, can
be quoted in two figures, for he was
unable to boost his total above 20.
despite the employment of hook balls,
spit bSlls. gutter balls, or loaded balls.
But a single alibi is being offered
by Griffith for the disaster OF Thursday
night, and to the mind of the expert
oowler. IL is a very slender reed on
which he rests his claim. Griff claims
warm Up too much. During the warm
ing up process Griff was getting the
oalls over the plate to perfection, and
n one instance succeeded in spilling a
whole flock Of duckpins.
When the official score started to
work, Griffith insisted that the spare

INVESTIGATE
EXPLOSION
On STEAMER
British Steamer Exploded Near
Baltimore
Navy Department Has Order
ed Investigation
British Consul VIII Also Make
Inquiry

Baltimore, March S.--An investiga
tion was begun today to ascertain the
cause and to fix the blame for the
disastrous explosion of dynamite in
the hold of the British tramp steamer
Alum Chine, lying at anchor I'm the
lower harbor. which brought death to
over forty persons, serious injury to
sixty more and property loss of
over $25O,OOO.
Immediately after the disaster the
federal authorities at Washington
were apprised Of the serious damage
to the new collier Jason, which was
near the anchorage Of the ill-fated
steamer, and which was about to be
accepted by the navy department.
Word was received here from the de-
partment to investigate.
Also it is probable the interstate
commerce commission. which controls
the shipment of explosives in Ameri-
can waters, will make an inquiry. Be-
cause most of the crew of the de-
stroyed steamer were subjects of
Great Britain. the British consul, Gil
bert Fraser, will also investigate the
explosion with the view to protect
ing the interests of the families of
the killed and wounded who were
Welshmen, and report to the British
Admiralty. The coroner of Anne
Arundele county will empanel a jury
and this will probably complete the
number OF inquiry attempts in fixing
the blame for the disaster.
The authorities who have made a
partial examination express the opin-
ion that the real cause will never be
definitely learned, chiefly because
those who are best fitted to give an
explanation are among the dead.
The general theory seems to be that
the coal in the bunkers was set af1re
by spontaneous combustion and the
flames communicated to the dynamite
The explosion was so terrific that II
seriously crippled the coast defenses
of the har'bor. In many instances the
concrete foundations of the heavy
guas at the forts cracked while sey
eral guns were damaged by the fall
ing pieces of steel from the wrecked
vessel. ....... ..

The committee having the task of
deciding the winner of the $25 prize of
the Pioneer Life Insurance Co. for the
best design of a label for North Da-
kota made goods held a meeting this
afternoon and as the various members
of the committee had already exam
ined the different 242 designs they
made choice in q. little over half an
hours time. The committee was com
posed of C.. o. Smith, w. w, King,
J. p. Dotson. J.. p. Hardy, Frank
CLANCY and President McHose of the
Fargo Manufacturers association.
They selected the label design OF Al
r.. FTaIlm of this city. II is in cir
cular form, around the edges of which
are the words in black, Made in North
Dakota. In the center there is a
standing sheaf OF wheat. The reasons
for the selection of this design are its
simplicity OF design, the fact that it
is susceptible of enlarging rreduc-
ing; the fact that it would be suitable
to any and all kinds of packages, and
for the reason 1t appeared to fill the
bill better than any other label.
The second choice Of a design was
that of "A. Il. Jacobson Of this city.
This design was in q triangular form
and the words Made In North Da-
kota formed the outer edge OF the
triangle. while across the same were
two large letters, N. D. 1t is very
pretty design and evoked much fay-.
orable comment.
Many OF the other designs were fav-
orably mentioned, but the two named
were the first and second choice. The
$25 prize was therefore awarded to
Mr.. bTahn.
Secretary Hardy of the commercial
club desires to state to the unsuc-
cessful artists that their designs will
be returned to them upon application.

Washington, March S.--President
Wilson has offered Richard Olney of
Boston, secretary of state in Clevs-
lands last cabinet. the post Of the ann
bassadorship to Great Britain. MI.
Olney's view is not known. Some doubt
is expressed whether he will accept, be-
cause he is Is and has had an eNcep-
tionaily active life.
Col. E. NJ. House Of Texas, an inti-
mate friend Of President Wilson, led
the list OF callers at the White House
today. Several prominent congress-
men were included in the list.
The president also received the SUI
preme court in the blue room Of tile
White House, during the morning. The
congratulations of the Philippine peo-
pie to President Wilson were preSented
by Manuel Quezon, the resident COM
missioner
The president will next week begin
the preparation of his first message to
congress. 1t is probable 1T will deal
with only two subjects, the tariff, at
some length, and the currency reform,
briefly. The predictions are that the
president will not attempt to attack the
present tariff In a statistical manner,
but will confine himself largely to the
exposition of his general policy.
At the White House it Is said that
next to Chairman McCombs of the
democratic national committee, Au-
gustus Thomas, the playwright, is fore
most In President Wilson's considera-
ton for the post of ambassador to
France. 1t is said Mr.. McCombs has
not decided whether to take the post
or remain chairman of the committee.
Wilson's Simplicity.
President Wilson has finally decided
that he will not be accompanied in
public by uniformed aides. The lat
ter will be with him only on state oc-
casions at the White House and at
army and naval functions. The num-
ber of aides now at the White House
will be greatly reduced.

MADEROS
MEET IN
CAPITAL
MADERos IN WASHINGTON,

Washington, March S.-The
gathering of the Maderos here,
headed by Alphonse Madero, one
of the deposed family, centers at
tention upon this governments at
titude toward what is said to be a.
junta planning hostilities to the
Huerta government.
While Madero was opposing Por@
firio Dlaz, the Madero family main
tanned an elaborate junta here
with which both the state depart
ment and the department of JUS
tice seemed powerless to interfere,
further than a close scrutiny OF all
their movements by special agents.
The Latin American colony here is
vibrating now with all sorts of talk
and many are hostile to the Huerta
regime.
