Washington, April 15.-Postmaster
General Burleson announced today
that it was the Administrations 8
policy to continue all Republican

my department will be run on
business lines, and not by politics.
said Mr.. Burleson, in explaining the
new policy. He declared that there
might be some removals. but he be-

masters were efficient and would not
be disturbed.
"There will have to be specific
charges of inefficiency, however" he
added, "before any one will be re-
moved"
MIR. Burleson said the decision had
been reached after conferences with
President Wilson. who favors the
merit system.
At present a plan is being worked
out to secure sufficient efficiency

Of Teachers.

The excavation for the new cOllee
building on the old Hartford College

a force of men are employed and the
work is progressing rapidly. The

the substitution OF pressed brick In
the construction of the front of the
building and all trimmings will be
of first quality Bedford limestone
This change will add much to the ap-
pearance Of the building.
The contract has been let for the
installation of a steam heating plant

NO WEIGHT BARRIER
FOR WILLIE R|TCH|E
Lightweight Champion Favors
Raising the Limit to
1875 Pounds.

Willie Richie, lightweight champion Of
in this city at Madison Square Garden a
week from tonight in a ten-round bout
with Leach Cross, is the first holder Of
the title since the late Joe Cans to raise
the weight limit Richie found time yes
terday TO explain why he is not making
matches Mt 1913 pounds ringside. He dis
cussed tho matter at Dial Hawkinss road
house, in West Chester, with several
friends
81 never considered 1873 pounds ring
side the lightweight limit" he said. In
fact, there is no rule, American or Eng
lish. under which championship contests
are held that fixes this limit The his
tory Of boxing shows that Jack McAuliffe,
the first American who held the worlds
title, defended himself at 1875, l6 and
even 40 pounds. Kid Lavigne. who sue
ceeded McAuliffe, lost the title on a de-
cision to Frank Erne at 1875 pounds
Weighing four or five hours before the
bout Erne was knocked out by Cans at
1876 pounds, weighing at o'clock.
Battling Nelson made poor Cans do
1873 pounds for the title, and the latter
was a physical wreck. Wolgast played
the same trick on Nelson, and also made
me fight him at the 1913 limit. But since
I've become champion ! have right to
dictate the weight, and have fixed the
limit at 1875 in order 10 let challengers who
cannot make 1873 have chance at the
title.
"In England the limit is 135 pounds at 2
o'clock, seven hours before ring time,
but / believe that 1876 at the ringsde. or
one hour before bout. is fair enough
If ] am defeated at 1875 my title will go
to the winner either by a referees de-
cision or by knockout. But. OF course.
am going to try hard TO avoid any such
calamity"
Dial Hawkins. once a famous light
weight, says that Richie Is not only a
wonderful boxer, but also is a terrific
puncher New Workers who saw Joe
Rivers box Leach Cross here last winter
are eager 10 see Richie, inasmuch as the
new champion made Rivers stop in San
Francisco last summer.

COLUMBIA UNCERTAIN
ON HOCKEY SITUATION
Condition of Intercollegiate
League Not Promising and
Schedule Is Held Up.

Although Columbia has better material
for a hockey team this season than ever
before, the question Of organizing the
seven is one that is giving the athletic
authorities no little trouble.
The withdrawal of Columbia from the
Intercollegiate Hockey League last sea
son probably cut the Blue and White Off
from the teams in the league and neces-
STATED the cancelling of a schedule IN
midseason. Rather than have the same
conditions crop up this season the Column
bia authorities are bidng their time and
waiting until definite action Is taken ono
way or another toward the reOrganiza-
ton Of the old league.
At present Princeton. Cornell and Dart
mouth are the only remaining members.
and Princeton is not at all certain that
IL will continue. Both Harvard and Yale
dropped out couple Of years ago. and
with Columbia leaving last year the or
ganization was put I'm a bad way
Princeton, although 1t won the league
championship failed TO win the college
title because IL could not beat the su-
perior Harvard seven. 1t is not the IN
tention OF the Columbia authorities TO
abolish hockey as a sport or TO refrain
from putting a team on the ice this
winter. but whether a big outlay will be
made in the way OF training a seven for
the college championship series is a
question that Columbia Is considering.
Tom Howard. the old Yale coach, who
has handled the Columbia candidates for
the last two seasons. will have first call
to coach the Blue and White this year.
and he thinks that the material which he
developed last season will give him a
nucleus for the best seven that Columbia
will have had. The break between Co
lumbia and the league came last season
because the Blue and White would not
submit to the adoption OF a freshman
rule by which only upper class men would
be allowed TO play on the college team
Even II Columbia should not be member
Of the league this year the management
feels that it would be able TO arrange
games with Yale. Harvard. Syracuse and
possibly Williams. Amherst and the
Army. in addition TO games with local
amateur teams.
