HORSE-SKIDDING
TOGO MERELY ON
Welfare Committee Re.
fuses to Abolish Great
Winter Sport.

BY vote OF 20 3 the committee on
public welfare Of the Board Of Alder
men decided yesterday 20 submit an
unfavorable report on the proposed or
dinance designed TO protect horses and
mules from slippery pavements during
the winter months. The decision was
reached after long public hearing, at
which Thomas +. Freel, superintendent
Of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty 10 Animals, pleaded at length
for the measure.
Mrs. Robert Garfield Mayer, Mrs
James Speyer, Herbert r. Linberg, rep
resenting the New York Humane So
ciety; William H. Moos. representing
the Wholesale Coal Merchants Associa-
ton. and William Guerin. Of the Safety
First Federation, appeared at the hear
ing in favor Of the ordinance.
The three members Of the committee
who voted favorably said that they
would submit a minority report at the
meeting OF the board on Tuesday. when
Il will be moved that the report be sub
stituted for that Of the majority mem
bers Of the committee. This will result
in vote being taken on the motion for
substitution, thus forcing the whole
board 10 pass on the matter. The three
committeeman who stood up for the
horses were Chairman Michael Staple
ton, Alexander ). Drescher and Charles
". Dunn.
Many merchants who use a large
number Of horses in their business ap-
peared in support Of the ordinance. II
provides that between November I and
April l no horse or other animal used
for the same purpose shall be driven in
the city unless II is shOd IN such a
manner as to prevent. or tend to pre-
vent, slipping. Ten dollars fine or ten
days imprisonment was the propos ed
penalty for violation Of the ordinance.
A strong opposition developed TO the
ordinance on the ground that 10 might

also COMMANDED that il was not neces-
sary. as the great majority Of horses

Administration Leaders
Push Ahead Philip

DOOLING BLAMED
FOR CAUCUS BOLT
Chairman Jones Absolves All
Democrats Except New York
Representative.
From The Tribar. Bureau !

Washington. April .. Admnistrs-
ton leaders agreed tonight 10 bring
the Philippine bill before the House
on Monday. Virtually conceding defea.
unless some radical and unexpected
break should occur, Chairman Jones, OF
the lnsular Affairs Committee, and his
friends are now hoping for an unusual
number Of Republicans 20 be absent.
SO FAR as amendments are concerned,
however. the bars are all down. Amend
ments of any SOFT can be proposed, anu
IL is along this line that the final COM
promise will be made.
How many Republicans will vote for
the bill is in doubt. There will GER
tainly be few, including probably
Frear, Cary and Lenroot, of Wisconsin.
Representative Kent, Of California, In
dependent. is also believed 20 favor tho
bill even with the Clarke amendment.
All OF the indignation felt against
the twenty-eight men who bolted the
caucus is concentrated on Representa-
tive Peter J. Dooiing. of New York.
That all the other Tammany men abb
solved themselves from the order OF
the caucus is not minded nearly so
much.
Mr.. Dooling, however. as a member
of the Insular Affairs Committee, only
month ago had voted with the other
Democrats in committee in favor OF the
Senate bill unchanged. lie also voted
against a motion. made by Repub lican
members Of the committee, 20 substi-
tute the old Jones bill for the Senate
measure.
Mr.. Dooling," said Chairman Jones
to-day. "has absolved himself from the
caucus rule. The exemption IS granted
10 those who are instructed by their
nominating conventions 20 vote against
the bill. and 20 those who promised
their constituents in campaign speeches
they would oppose IT, Why did Mr.;
Dooling vote with IA in committee, II
no had been so instructed by his oon-
vention. or had so promised his CON
stituents in the campo ign?'

CLASSICS WAY Be
COLUMBIA OPTION
Dean Urges Trustees Not
to Require Latin and
Greek in College.

Latin and Greek will no longer be
required for the Bachelor Of Arts de-
gree if the recommendation now before
the trustees Of Columbia University is
approved at its Monday meeting. Dean
Frederick Keppel Of Columbia College
has intrusted to the trustees a plan for
eliminating the classics from the re-
ouirements Of the arts degree. and il
is thought that the trustees will make
the change.
Dean Keppel yesterday issued a
statement Of plans formulated for re-
turning to the old policy Of the college
Of comforting one uniform degree. Il
is proposed to drop the Bachelor Of
Science degree from the college. For
merly students could evade the study
of Latin and Greek in their college
course by registering for the Bachelor
Of Science degree. and Dean Keppel
states that his practice has been mis-
used.
II is thought that the change will be
popular among the students, but may
lead 90 a division Of opinion among the
faculty. Many Of the instructors be-
lieve that a student should still devote
considerable time Of the first two years
OF his course 20 the classics.
Under the plans before the trustees
u is now proposed 20 award the arts
degree without the requirement OF
Latin and Greek. This change IS in
accord with the decision Of the faculty
Of the college 70 permit students 20
exercise professional option IN the
new school Of Business. as well as IN
law. medicine. engineering, architecture
and journalism. and means that they
need spend only two years pursuing
the strictly college courses and there
after may specialize in other subjects.
4 three-year preparatory course mas
also been outlined. X was announced
YESTERDAY. for those students in college
who can afford to spend more than TWO
wears in preparation for the medical
course at the College Of Physicians
and Surgeons. II will still be possible
however. for a student 70 enter the
Medical School after two years OF col
leCe work. II sufficient funds are Sc
cured By September 10 open the pro
posed dental school similar option
will be offered.
