LITTLE ICE IN THE
new ENGLAND RIv-
ERs AND HUDSON

Washington, March 4.-The past
week opened with generally high tenn
peratures for the time Of the year to
eastward Of the Rocky Mountains, but
in the Mountain and Plateau districts
the weather was moderately cold. The
warm area drifted eastward during
the first few days. closely followed
by cooler weather which had over
spread all central districts by the mid
de OF the week With the progress
eastward of this cool area there was
a tendency toward higher tempera-
lures and the latter part of the week
was moderately warm in nearly ali
districts.
AS result OF the temperatures not
ed above there was but little change
in the ice conditions prevailing at the
end of the preceding week, except in
southern New England. Slight in
on a few of the more northerly rivers
and Lakes, ana the streams of the
upper Missouri watershed remain
about as reported last week.
The ice has broken up Throughout:
the greater part Of the upper Missis-
sippi and its tributaries and is passing
out without serious gorging SO far,
and the harbors Of the lower Lakes
are largely open. The ice in the Hud-
son and the lower courses Of the rivers
Of New England appears to have bro
ken up quite rapidly and much of il
las passed out without gorging.

PORTLAND HIGH
winner IN DEBATE
WITH CoNY HIGH
On Question: Resolved That
That the Jones Bill Providing
For the Government and Dis
position Of the PHILIPPINE Is
lands Should be Enacted
Dance Foiolws.

The Portland High debating team was
given a unanimous decision over the
Cony High team in the debate held
Thursday evening at the Assembly hall
Of the High school upon the subject Re
solved. That the Jones Bill Providing
for the Government and Disposition OF
the Philippine Islands Should Be Enact
ed the Portland team upholding the
affirmative side of the proposition This
debate as in the Bowdoin In,erschoias-
tic League and the Portland team is now
qualified 10 meet the team winning the
debate on the other side OF the league.
The Cony team debated we'll but the
balance Of the argument seemed TO favor
the affirmative side. The judges were
quick in making their decision, for it was
evident to them that the Portland boys
had the stronger arguments. The Port
land team consisted of Donald Mcdonald.
F, Arthur Hilton. William r. Peterson
and Philip L. Cakes alternate. The mem
bers Of the Cony team were Edwin Lee.
Ill Withee, Joseph Goldberg and Alfred
Barr alternate.
The debate was very interesting. The
speakers for Portland argued that the
JuiIeS Ul!i siiOuIu De enacted because the
people OF the Islands are fitted for self
government. because the bill is conserva-
tive and because the people of the ISL
ands want the changes that would be
made by the passage of the bill. The
Cony debaters stated that the bill should
not be enacted because the conditions
are not suitable for the enactment OF the
bill. because the people of the islands
lack the capacity for self government and
because they lack protection externally
and internally.
Frank G. Harrington was chairman at
the debate and the judges were Rev. c.
G. Mosher., Frank Hewins and Walter
NJ. Sanborn.
At the conclusion of the debate the
floor was cleared and a dance was given
which was enjoyed by all the young
people present. The High School Orches-
ira furnished music for the occasion.
