BRYAN ANTICIPATES
FIGHT ON TREATIES
Secretary Of State to Send
Colombian and Nicaraguan
Pacts to Senate.

A fight in the Senate. overshadowing
in bitterness the Panama canal tolls
struggle. is assured following the state
ment today by Secretary Of State Bryan
that he will transmit to the Senate next
Wednesday the proposed treaties with
Coluplbia and Nicaragua.
In the former, the United States ex-
presses regret that anything has oc-
CURED to imperial friendly relations and
awards S25,0oo000 as a panacea to her
injured feelings and loss of territory
through the Panama revolution.
The Nicaraguan treaty extends the
so-called Platt amendment. affecting
Cuba. over Nicaragua, giving the Uni
ted states a protectorate over II, and
pays Nicaragua 100000 for the old
Nicaragua canal rights and a naval
base at Fonesca bay.
Mr.. Bryan admits that he expects a
bitter fight on both treaties. although
ii will come in executive session. He
believes both treaties will be ratified
although the anxiety OF Congress to ad-
journ may shelve both until next win
ter. The Colombian treaty has been
ratified by that country. but a new
regime. about to assume power in Mica
ragua. is opposed to its treaty.

NEW RACING TARGET

believed they will be within three years.
First to reduce fuel consumption, the

expected to stay in force at least three

when makers can take stock or semi

Van Kirk is a crank or a man with
an AK to grind. He is a very earnest.
sturdy ana sane citizen. He is a man
with the courage of bis convictions
or at least SO he impressed me. He
has no foolish idea that the nations
of the earth are going TO fall on one
another's necks as soon as they hear
what he has to say and get sentimental
about how much they had lost in the
thousands of years of war that has
wasted lands and made orphans and
widows by the millions.
Not Visionary In Ideals.
He is no such visionary person. He
believes that the only way to attain
state of universaI peace is by
education, and that this education is
q matter of long experience.
He believes that each age is ad-
vancing a step and that each step
places the world nearer peace. He
has the idea that the world must re-
form its intelligence before it can ac-
cept the idea. and that it will lake
some time and much patience and
study to bring this about. Each gen.
Grafton must be carried along 10 a
new step in the right direction.

To Visit Every Capital.
So James William Van Kirk Is not

is practical citizen of the world. who

his present tour he intends 10 visit
every national capital of the world and
parade as he did here.
His bell is the bell of liberty and
he believes its clear. silvery tones are
much nearer the symbol Of perfect
accord and good will than the bare Of
a brass band or the sounding brass of
trumpets. He will make some speeches
here at the public. forum at Seventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue. He
always speaks in the open air and will
mount the rostrum in Hyde Park. Lon

Philadelphia Today.

PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-Tha
first International sports competition

day. when Jay Gould, the American
amateur, and George F. Covey, the
professional title-holder, meet in the
opening games of the match for the
worlds court tennis championship.
As the forerunner of the polo tennis.
yachting and other contests scheduled
for this season, the match has at
tracted much attention both in Eng
land and the United States, and the
outcome is awaited with unusual in
terest.
The demand for seats is far in ext
cess of the capacity of the Racquet
Club, despite the fact that the
charges range from so to $50, accord
ing to location.
Gould and Covey have shown ex-
ceptional speed and skill in their
practise matches during the last two
weeks, and a. close and clever ex-
hibition of the court game is pre-.
dicted by those who have followed the
work of the competitors in the match.
Covey's statement that he is at the
top of his game is borne out by. his
play, and court tennis experts report
that GouldS form is better than at
any time during his playing career
The match. which is best seven out
of thirteen sets, is scheduled to be
played in. three sections, today,

they might have won by lap or
more. The Belgian champion did
more riding than the champion, but
the latter was always willing and

Riding with a Belgian as his mate

ever, and he received a great ovation
when he crossed the tape winner.

He has friend. however, who is suf-

Being a very intimate friend of
Mickey Donley, brother of Young
Stanzo. who is known in private life
as Michael BoZza. I would like to con-
tradict several statements which APP
peared in Wednesday Evenings Star
concerning him. Many, naturally
would expect a fighter to be either
gang leader, a dance hall king or
gambler, because these in many cases
are the surroundings of boy in that
game; but, to the contrary, Mickey
Donley keeps in good company and
keeps most of the time to himself.
He comes from respectable family,
which is in exceedingly good eircum-
stances, and he has taken that sport
up simply because he. likes it, rather
than from the financial point of view
He is a perfect gentleman in the ring,
as well as out of it, and all who
know him or who have seen him
fight will not dispute this fact.
BON AMI.
Mickey Donlev I'm told, is we'll
behaved. clean-living young man, but
how long will he be that way if he
travels around with crap-shooters
who use crooked dice and petty
larceny gamblers. Many a good boy
has been ruined around here because
of the crap-shooting manager. who
follow the circus in the summer and
who hangs out in gambling Joint

Happy who has kept himself in fine
