Bowdoin Accepts
B. A. A. Ultimatum.

Accepting the ultimatum of the B.
A. A. management that if she did not
send a relay team to Boston Feb. to
compete under rules prescribed by the
B. A. A, she will not be invited to
send teams in the future, Bowdoin is
now negotiating for a race with some
strong college team at the Providence
Coast Artillery games in the middle
of February. A fortnight ago the Bow
doin Athletic Council formally disap-
proved of the four -cornered race
among the four Maine colleges, and
thereby sanctioned the stand which
Bowdoin had taken to the effect that
possibly injury lay in the proposed
race. The council favored a division of
the event by which only two colleges
would run against each other, but the
powers in the Hub ruled otherwise and
following close upon Bowdoin's deci-
sion came the notice that she wouldn't
be invited again if she didn't agree to
the B. A. A. rules. The Brunswick
college has never lacked bids for 9TH
er affairs and Manager Paul ]. Rough
an stated Saturday evening that Bow
doin will run her relay team at other
meets.
Neither has Bates favored the four
cornered idea, but the Garnet did not
go so far as Bowdoin in actually re-
fusing to run, but simply entered
protest. That Bates will figure in the
race along with Colby and University
of Maine, was the statement made
over the long distance telephone last
night by Manager Greenan of Bates.
Mr. Greenan also said that Bates feels
that the Maine Intercollegiate Athletic
Association should have something to
say about an event in which their own
teams compete.
The Bowdoin Athletic Council had
authorized Manager Koughan. to ar
range a relay race with either Maine
or Bates at the G. A. A, but this nat
'urally proved to be impossible. The
ultimatum has not been formally con-
sidered by the council but informally
the members are practically unanimous
in favoring the stand taken, and they
feel that the alumni and undergrad
yates will support the step. Bowdoln
men said last night that if the b. "A.
A. management advertise a Maine
State championship race they will not
be sticking to fact for Bowdoin will
not be represented in an event in
which two colleges would run in the
preliminaries and then the two VIM
ners meet in a final for the State
championship. Bowdoin also claims
that her Judgment is backed by the
action of Holy Cross, Fordham,
Georgetown and Boston College, which
ipstifutions unanimously refused to
enter q four -cornered race.

nomination of Col. Goethals to the
Senate.
Because of y Democratic opposition
Col. Goethals failed of confirmation
and, consequently, President Taft did
not issue the proclamation decreeing
the Adamson law in operation.
When Col. Goethals comes to wash
ington next month members of the
House committee on appropriations
will ask him how much money Is need
ed for the establishment and mainte-
nance of civil government.
1t was learned today that ma
jority of the members Of the commit
tee will work on the floor for the mon
ey Col. Goethals needs. The war de-
partment has estimated $23,000,000 as
the amount necessary to complete
work on the canal and put it in shape
for traffic.
There is a strong sentiment IN Con-
gress In favor of promoting Col. Goe-
thals to be a major general in recog-
milton of his services. The same move
ment provides also for the promotion
of the other officers Of the Army and
Navy who have aided in the building
of the canal.

PERFECT HARMONY BETWEEN
JAPAN AND UNITED STATES.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Baron Ma
kino, the Japanese foreign minister,
has made a supplementary statement
to the Japanese Parliament regarding
California land legisltion, intended to
show that, according to the Japanese
understanding, there is perfect har-
mony of purpose between the United
States and Japanese in the negotia-
tions to settle the question and the
Japanese government is relying on as
surances to that END from Washing
ton.
According to a transcript of his re-
marks made by the Japanese embassy
here Saturday the minister said:
While 1t is fact that the Ameri-
lean government has not replied to the
third protest of the Imperial govern
ment, it is the purpose Of the lmpe-
rial government to settle the question
in as advantageous manner as pos
sible, and l believe that the American
government is aware of the wishes
which form the demand of the Jap
anese government, and that toward
the accomplishment of the object the
American government is constantly
taking measures of investigation py
the most just methods
The statement was made by Baron
Maxine in answer to formal inter-
pelation moved by a member OF the
Government party, apparently framed
to dissipate impressions that Japan
resented the failure of the United
States to reply to the last note.
Japan is believed to desire new
treaty specifically recognizing the
right of Japanese in the United States
to hold and lease real property on
equal terms with other foreigners.
Sucb a treaty would invalidate the
California law and similar state leg
islatiOn.

tween the two Bishops and the
Barrieau brothers, and the mill
betwixt Sammy Good and Billy
Wright.
Much interest is being taken In
the bout between Harry Bishop of
South Tacoma and Frank Bar
rieau, which will wind up the
evening. Bishop meets in the
Canadian the best man he has
ever faced. Barrieau has fought
a number of the top-notch light
weights, and is the champion of
Canada at his weight. He has it
on Bishop in cleverness, but the
terrific kick of the South Taco
man evens this up. Should the
local boy win, he is promised
match with Bud Anderson, one of
the leading lightweights of the
game.
Ernie Barrieau Is said to be a
cleverer boxer than even his
brother, so II looks as IL Leo
Bishop was In for hot old time.
However, Leo Is willing to take
a couple to land good one, and
he has a punch himself.
Billy Wright of Rockford has
always shown himself to be a cool
and clever boxer, and has won the
right to meet the best 133-pound-
ers in this section. As Sammy
Good is considered In this class,
there Is bound to be something
doing.
George Piper. the local Moose
boxer, expects to give Tex YER
non, featherweight champ of the
Northwest, a strenuous time. He
says the worst he can look for
ward to is a draw. but he thinks
he'll win. Tex may shatter this
optimism.
Arch Stoy, the Chehalis boxer,
meets Cyclone Calhoun, the
speedy Multnomah club boy, and
Joe Hill takes on one Jack Null
lin, of San Francisco.
An interesting feature of this
evenings entertainment Is the
fact that the three contenders for
the featherweight title of the
Northwest will all be ON the same
bill for the first time. These men
are Vernon, Hill and Stoy.
Casey Jones, the rough and
ready railroad hope of Charlie
McAtee, Is going to try and make
the comeback of Bert Campbell in
