ginia collegiate schedule starts, the

White during the games. Pop Lanni-
gan will have charge OF the men as
usual. Captain White has proved him
self an admirable leader, and the plan
should prove successful The idea of
the General Athletic Association in
this matter conforms with the rest of
their policies In athletics. which Is
to have university athletics in the
hsras OF university agencies as much
as possible. IT also Is in keeping with
many other university mines, notably
in the East. where In the larger games
the captains are in full control OF
their teams on the field
Frank Cannon. for the past three
seasons one of the varsity boxmen for
Virginia, has been selected to coach
the first year baseball team this sea-
son. The star southpaw has seen four
years of service on the Virginia team
and is ineligible this year. The first
year baseball team was started last
year and was coached by Dave Grant,
another portsider, who had served four
seasons on the mound. The organiga-
ton OF first year team came as a re-
suit, OF the adoption by Virginia of the
arst rear athletic rule.

HET~TIE JANE DUNAWAY AT
CITY DIToRIUM MONDAY

The average lyceum representative
is perhaps the most critical person in
the triumvirate or manager, represen-
tative and committeeman, and the fac
ing of an audience composed almost
exclusively of members of this group
of 1yceum work is considered an Or
deal by all lecturers and entertain
crs. To win such an audience to I'M
qualified commentator of her work,
to move men and women at will from
binding teaIs to uproarious laughter,
was the triumphant accomplishment of
Miss Hettte Jane Dunaway at a recent
convention of the international Ly-
ceum Association. NO one has so used
my emotions fer n football in dozen
years. said one critic. II thought
was immune from that tear bust
ness" said another, but you certainly
took hold of my weeping machinery"
Miss Dunaways program, THE Lady
of the Decoration" and Just Plain
Judy" could not have been more ad-
mirab1y designed to fft her natural
abilities as n reader. She looks the
part she portrays and lives it. The
charm of her work is indescribable.
Miss Dunaway will appear at the City
Auditorium Monday night under the
auspices of the Baraca -Philathea

His Wife and Baby.
From New York comes the infor-
nation that Lyman's wife and baby
arrived in that city from New York
on a vessel from Europe just two days
after he made his getaway. The wife
Is said to have been the former wife
of an English sea captain Her his
tory is not yet on record at the local
postoffice.~
Lyman is now under indictment in
California for misuse of the mails
He was convicted and his case APP
pealed TO the higher court He is now
under bond there, his bondsmen hav-
ing been much disturbed OF late over
his disappearance. He has used the
names of Jackson and Putnam. His
age Is given as fifty-three.
4 telegram from Washington says
the-pestal- authorities are satisfied
that the man arrested at st. Peters
burg is John Grant Lyman. wanted in
New York fer using the mails to de-
fraud. the amount of such frauds be-
ing estimated at from 100000 to
100000. supposed to have been OBJ
tanned through hts New York, Hart
ford and Springfield Offices.
Looks Like the Right Man.
In the hands of the local inspec-
tors Is photograph of Lyman, which
answers in every detail TO tho man
who engaged Miss Hampton at the
Richmond Hotel to look after his
mail. A description OF Lyman is also
furnished. which fully answers to that
of the man Miss Hampton has identi-
fed. The fact that she has handled
this mail through st, Petersburg. and
that such mail Is said TO have been
OF a fraudulent nature, is also claimed
by the inspectors, who have been per-
mitted by the young lady to read
every letter. to be proof of guilt.
Miss Hampton kept up her COM
munication with ST. Petersburg In
order that the inspectors might be
kept in touch with the man they
wanted.
Miss Hampton did not do this work
with any degree OF pleasure, nor does
she desire any praise for what she
has done. 1t was made plain to her
that she had duty to perform, and
though 1t was disagreeable. she con-
scented, in order that the law OF the
country might be upheld. For this
she has been praised highly by the
officials.
