Philadelphia, Feb. 14.--Of the In

Athletes of America accepts the new

championship meet it will thus give "a
tremendous stimulus to this sport
among American colleges. The SuG-
sestion Is To count an additional place
and to revise the scoring rule SO tnat

second place two, and fifth place, not
counted heretofore. one point. The
present rule is to count only four
places, us follows: Five, three, two
and one.
The immediate and most beneficial
effect of the new rule will be to give
encouragement tn mel to take up the
sport of track and field athletics. Ow-
ing to the wonderful development of
this particular sport the intercol-
lesiate championships We're becoming

in which ever the near champions
didn't have much OF a chance even to
score. much less to win Il first place.
Take, for instance. the mile run last
year in which i. =. Jones of Cornell.
made a new worlds record of 4:14
-. The first four men finished in
side of 4:20. Nothing shows the won-
derfnl DEVELOPMENT of this sport
non the colleges quite so much as
the fact that q man had To do AGO
even to score:
his suggestion to count an addi-
ti"nal place was first made by the
writer several years ago as a result
of n study of the performances OF
the men who We're lust shut ont Of
their resDertivn events. Most colleges
give tho varsity letter to men who
score in tho "intercollesiates.' but on
rrnun of the small number Of men
who can thus get points and the in
"r"nsinclH' hieh standard of perform-
nncee; tive varsity letter in track attn
ietics has come to he the most dearly
!.rizcd and the hardest to win. The
amendment nf the scoring rules will
give 20 per cent more men a chance to
score. AS such the new rule would

Gigantic Drygo>s Is Co.
Of New York City in
Hands of Receivers

New York, June 25.-Receivership
proceedings for the gigantic wholesale
drygoods firm of H. B. Claflin & co.
here disclosed estimated liabilities OF
the firm at $35,000,000, assets $4,000
900. 1t is understood that the Claflin
company controls about twenty Eight
dry goods firms throughout the United
States, distinct and apart from those
affiliated with the United Dry Goods
companies.
Between $500 and 5000 banks hold
paper of these stores. Twenty five or
thirty of the larger discount banks in
New York city are creditors for large
amounts.
Judge Learned Hand named as re-
ceivers, Joseph B. Martindale, presl-
dent Of the Chemical National bank,
and Frederick A. Juilliard, member OF
the firm of A. B. Juilliard & Co., under
bonds of $50O,000 each.
H. B. Claflin & Co., OF Wh1ch Jonn
Claflin is president, was organized IN
1890 to conduct a wholesale drygoods
business. It was controlled by the AS
sociated Merchants Co. which, in turn,
is controlled by the United Dry Goods
Co.
The United Drygoods Co. was incor-
porated in 1909 to consolidate the dry
goods interests of John Claflin in New
York and other cities. The company
acquired in exchange for $9,S13,OoO of
its common stock like amount OF
capital stock of the Associated Mer-

Oyster Bay, June 25.-Roosevelt
plunged into what he expects will be
the hardest political campaign he has
ever undertaken. Nine hours after he
stepped on shore at oyster Bay, fol-
lowing his midnight trip from New

New York last night to be on hand
early. At 10 o'clock the colonel was

The question Of whether the colonel
is in fit condition for a hard speech

ed so much concern to progressive
leaders, gave Roosevelt no worry at
all.

that his throat had been giving him

also the Stewart Drygoods co. OF
Louisville, KY. In June, 1910, Lord q
Taylor Co., Of New York, was acquired.
According to figures given at the
equity hearing the total net income or
the concern for 1913 was $2,OS3,7Sl. The
percentage earned on the preferred
stock was 1928 per cent and on the
common stock, 9s21 per cent.
The liabilities of the firm are repre-
sented by commercial paper held all
over the country, estimated at $25,OOO,-
600. It is said that the company did
not borrow heavily on it's own paper,
but endorsed notes made by interior
merchants for goods sold. The lnabll-
ity of these interior houses and the
inability of the H. B. Claflin co. to
pay off the matured portion OF these
notes is ascribed to the general dull
business conditions, decreased sales
and slow collections.
The following statement is given out
at the office of the Claflin company:
"The unprecedented shifting of trade
centers in New York has caused
great loss to many interests. In the
case Of H. B. Claflin Co. the uptown
movement of business has seriously
curtailed our wholesale profits and has
compelled us to rely mainly on the
profits from financing retail stores
throughout the country. Their rapid
ly expanding business has occasioneo
large capital requirements, which we
have not been able to meet. A rece1V"
ership therefore became necessary
pending a readjustment OF the aHalrs
of the company. Applications of reor-
ganization for the H. B. Clatlin Co
will soon be presented. which, we hope
will prove acceptable both to the cred
itors and to the stockholders.
THE Associated Merchants CO. and
the United Dry Goods Cos. are not
themselves borrowers Of money. They
are in exceedingly strong financial po.
sition and the success of their retail
stores is assured"
