success in Freshmen sports in November,
proved a sad blow to the pride of Eng
land. The Americans won five of the

one. the two remaining going to England.
The attendance on the first day establish
ed a record, largely because of the inter-
est in the mile race between jackson and
Taber The fact that Jackson won by Ave
yards in 422 So was the one reoeeming
feature OF the meet from an English
standpoint. Taber ran so well, however,
that it is likely that h6 will run in the
mile for oxford at the inter-university
sports with Cambridge on March %, while
Jackson will be reserved for the half
mile event.

tition of 1914 will be held in Philadelphia

Washington, March 15.-The Senate
subcommittee on interstate COM
mercc, appointed by Chairman New
lands to consider the antitrust pro-
gram, struggled for hours Saturday
with the proposal of the tentative bill
to prohibit interlocking directorates.
To Dodge Harm.
I'VE want to hit the bulls eye in
framing this feature of the proposed
legislation" said Senator Newlands
Saturday night, but We do not want
a bill that may embody many useless
restrictions or provisions that might
work more harm than good.
what the line of demarcation
should be as to the prohibition of in
terlocking in directorates is the prob
lem rst to be determined before the
committee can draft a measure to be
submitted to Congress. On this sub
committee are able men and men of
different views. and it will take some
time to perfect the measure.
First Draft Extreme.
The tentative bill on interIocking di
rectorates, drafted after the delivery
of President wilson's message on
trust legislation, is too extreme, in
the opinion of some committee MEM
bers, who fear ii would prohibit men
in business from engaging In dual
legitimate undertakings advantageous
to the general welfare.
The danger, they believe. in under
taking to control this phase of bust
ness is that of over-reaching this
the mark. The committee proposes, it
was declared, to draft a bill which
will be certain not to handicap or in
iure business, but to aid it by max
ing Illegal only such forms of inter-
locking directorates as are deliberate
ly formed to foster monopoly or
smother competition.

new HAVEN WILL
LAY OFF BIG FORCE
UNDER new SCHEDULE

Boston. March 15.-Officials of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad yesterday were unable to es-
innate the number of men who would
be laid off because of the new time
schedule which goes into effect today.
Approxima tely 30 trains on the
Eastern division of the road have
been discontinued. 1t is said that the
Western division cut will equal the
reduction here.
An official of the road yesterday
said that it was practically impossi-
BILE to estimate the number of those
to be thrown out of work because of
the system of rating in force among
the trainmen's brotherhood.
According to the operation of the
union system, the oldest employees, in
years of service, will have preference
when the bidding in of runs is COM
pleted.
That some of the newer men on the
road will be laid off was said to be a
certainty. Passenger conductors.
bralSemen and baggagemen are grad
uated from the ranks of freight men
ana will be reduced in the reverse or
der. The exact number of men thrown
out of work will not be known until
the latter part of the coming week.
The cut will upset mail schedules.
New schedules have been arranged
and notices sent TO all postmasters in
New England. Some towns will be
reduced to but one mail delivery
day Some towns in the western part
of the state, in Connecticut and in
Rhode Island will have not even a
daily train delivery.
