NEW YORK, February 11.--"Amer-
lea stands ready to send a repre-
sentative athletic team to the next
Olympic games, regardless of the
time or place which may be desig-
mated" This was the answer Of
prominent Amateur Athletic Union
officials to the query of the Swedish
Athletic Association. made through
United States Minister Morris, at
Stockholm, recently. "
The track and field authorities Of
this country have been actively en-
gagged since the signing of the armi-
stice in preparing for a worldwide
revival in competitive athletics, and
the implied desire of the Swedish
association to re-establish the Olym-
pic games did not occasion surprise
in A. A. u. circles. Sweden acted as
host to athletes from all parts of the
world in the meet of 1912, and the
imposing stadium built for the con-
tests still stands.

3-YEAR RULE TO APPLY
FOR ALL PENN SPORTS

PHILADELPHIA. February IL
Members of all athletic teams of the
University of Pennsylvania will here
after be restricted to three years of
intercollegiate competition, according
to an announcement by Dean William
Mcclellan, chairman of the athletic
council The rule, however. is not
retroactive.
Although in previous years Penn
sylvania permitted her athletes four
years of competition very few took
advantage OF 1t, because of the fresh
man and first year rule in existence.
The new rule is part of the
eligibility code made by the athletic
council, which recently superseded
the old board of directors of the
Athletic Association in the control
of athletics.

Sign Papers in Station.

When the crowd of a score or more
of newspaper men and general hang
ers-on arrived at Weehawken every
one thought that Dempsey and Kearns
were going to arrive at a little hotel
somewhere in that Jersey place to
put the ink to the paper. but they
stopped right in the old Weehawken
station and signed their articles on
the desk where the commuters write
out the kilograms saying that they
will be home late for dinner. 1t was
a mighty strange setting for an old
timer who always heard the popping
of corks whenever a, contract was
signed Just magine John L. Sulli-
van signing a contract in a dingy
railway station and Weehawken is
the champion dingy railway station
around the Hudson river.
Here is bout which has a. quarter
of a million at stake and which will
probably draw half a million If the
right place is selected and the con-
tract was signed in the one-horse
station on the Hudson river. Times

The selection of the time and place
was left to Tex Richard, who is pro-
noting the match.
The contract calls for contest of
not more than forty rounds Dempsey
will receive $500 and third of
the moving picture rights. The nam
ing of the referee was left to future
date Willard has already signed
contract to defend the title, his share
being 100000 and one-third of the
picture rights.
Dempsey and Jack Kearns his man
ager. were well satisfied with the ar
rangements that had been made for
them, and there was never the slight
est sort of an argument. All those
who were interested in the affair met
at the Claridge Hotel early in the
afternoon and went through lot of
preliminaries. There was no argu-
ment as to what was coming off in
the future Dempsey was willing, so
was Kearns and Tex Rickard offered
no rebuttal of what had been argued
over before. Everything was set
nicely, and it was just a question of
going through the motions of signing
the paper.

Tasks Now Before Congress

Hon. Champ Clark delivered the hgst
speech he has made to the gen
cral public in Audrain County for a
number Of years in the Court House
last night. All the seats in the room
were filled and many were standing
whenthc Former Speaker was intro
duced, promptly at 8 o'clock, by Z. S.
Wilson, secretary Of the Chamber
Of Commerce. He and the members
and officers Of the Chamber came to
the Court House from the HoXsey
Hotel where an informal dinner, in
honor Of Mr.. Clark, was served at $50.
The speech made last night was non
partisan in tone and character, but
at the close Mr.. Clark made a few PEI
sonaI remarks in answer to the que5-
lions he felt to be in the thoughts Of
his audience. He said he had made up
hi mind but to one thing, as regards
the coming elections; and that is that
he will not run for governor. AS to
running for Congress, for the Senate
or for President, he is now only look
ing over the field. He promised, how
ever, that by January l he would have
made up his mind and would at that
time announce his intentions. 1t IS
possible, he said that he Will decide
to retire from political life and make
some money.

Wilson issues his proclamation declar-
ing its end. Nobody knows when he
will issue his proclamation. Andrew
Johnston never issued ms proclaim
alton declaring the Civil War ended

Senator Lodges plan to have Con-
gress pass a Resolution declaring the
war ended is futile for the all-sufficient
reason that President Wilson is part
of the law-making body and a res,

The act has been repealed by the na tional law makers, and there is every reason to believe that it will never again be put into operation.
 The paramount object of the new time system was to save an hour of daylight during the summer months, thus Hooverizing on fuel and electric ity bills, and enabling us to buy more Liberty bonds and Thrift stamps. The plan was an admirable one while Un- cle Sams men were over there licking the Germans, but since the late enemy has hollered enough most folks think we ought to return to sun time,

TELLS PAUpERS TO GET
 OFF; FARM WILL BE SOLD
Faulkner County Judge Also Will Sell Road Machinery as Result of the
 Quorum Court Action.

Conway, Oct. 25. - Approximately $12,000 worth of new road machinery. purchased by the county recently, and an S0acre tract owned by the county and used as poor farm. will be ad- vertised for sale and sold at public auction soon, to raise funds with which to meet the countys expenses. Coun- ty Judge J. A. Lea said today.
 The county judge said that this ac- ton is necessary as result of the failure of the Quorum Court to make appropriations for the operation of the county government Funds deriy- ed from the sales, he said would be in cash and would be subject to arprop- riation for any purpose he might see fit
 The sale of the poor farm, Judge Lea said. would be good business move in any event and it was one of his recommendations to the Quorum Court before the defeat of the appro- priati0ns. The operation of the farm was ordered discontinued today. he said, and inmates have been directed to leave.
 T told them to go to some of the justices of Cadron township who voted against the appropriation for the main tcnance of paupers, and that maybe they would take care of them, said the judge. T voted right on every proposition that came before the court and it is a mistake to say there was 6 controversy within the Quorum Court or between my self and the Quorum Court The trouble was that the Quorum Court attempted to say in eff feet to another and entirely different court-the County Court-that if the County Court did not de certain things certain members of the Quorum Court wanted done the Quorum Court would cut off the pay of the County Court; and this is what happened.

Little Rock, Oct 27.-SpeciaD aD-The announcement of United States Sena- tor Miles PoindeXtcr of Washington as a candidate for the Repu ublican nomi- nation for the presidency is being made today throughout the country simultaneous He is a native of Memphis Tenn, and his announcement therefore possesses special interest for the Republicans of the South He is out in a ioIr-page circular stating his attitude on a variety of public graphs from the announcement fol- lows:
 The recent assumption by certain officials of our government of juris- diction of the settlement of foreign controversies, which are of but remote concern to us, has engendered racial animosities against the United States. We should cease oftcious meddling With other peoples affairs. The an cur participation in governmental mat tcrs to the American continent, while we stand as friendly neutral to all nations With which we are at peace, should be restored.
 His attitude toward our foreign rela- tions. including the indirect thrust at President Wilson and his patriots, of "officious meddling,' will provide the ground for some spirited controversy among the Democrats of the country.
