AGREE ON ATHLETICS

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Bangor. Oct. 27-The Maine Prin-
cipals Assn. Of Secondary schools to-
day adopted . rule prohibiting the
playing Of postgraduate students.
This was forecast by the Journal
earlier in the week. Although there
was lively discussion the rule was
passed unanimously. 1t was further
voted that it should become opera
tive in September 1923. Another
important measure was the decision
to divide the State into two geogra-
phic sections. the U. of NJ. and Bates
college will conduct basket ball tour
naments simultaneously for the ell
limitation for a state champion
Eight teams are to be selected from
each section to play through a two
days tournament, the northern and
southern winners will then contest
for the title of school champions.
The management of the two colleg-
es have agreed to cooperate in this
matter. 1t is believed that this ar
rangement will eliminate the section
al claims to championships and will
really make possible the determining
of the championship in this sport.
The schools of Kennebec county are
assigned to the U. of NJ. class.
Another accomplishment of the
meeting was the adoption Of a gen.
eral set of rules regarding the award
OF athletic insignia; In brief, stu
dent will receive the athletic letter
who has played in one half Of the
total periods of foot ball and basket
ball seasons, and one half the total
innings in the base ball season.
1t was further decided that such
school activities as debating and
school orchestras should not make
the participants eligible for the COW
cted letter. but their service to their
schools should be recognized by the
awarding Of special insignia, after
the Cony high school plan.
Officers elected were: Charles
Haskell, South Portland, president;
T.. V. Perkins. Houlton, vice presi-
dent: Josiah w. Taylor, Augusta,
secretary-treasurer; Clarence P.
Quimby. member of executive COM
mittee for three years.
The new athletic rule goes into
effect in September, 1923.

Belfast, in Navy. day address be-
fore the Portland Rotary club, today,
said that no class OF men realize
more clearly the relations existing
between sea and power and world
power, or are more willing to subor-
dinate purely naval aims to the
country's wishes. than naval men.
But" he added. until that time
Genes when the ideals for which are
stands are world ideals. until inter-
national frictions cease, until moral
suasion by its own sanction and the
law is self-enforcing. this country
can no more afford to allow its naval
force to fall below the ratios fixed
and to disintegrate as did its stately
clipper ships, than, can . great city
afford to give up its guardians of the
law.

There has of late, especially since
the last census. been much comment
on farming conditions in this State.
Some of it has been helpful and
taken as a whole i seems generally
believed that it wilr prove bene-
fetal.
With regard to the exact situa-
ton, there appears to have been
some misrepresentation. certain fea-
lures overlooked and in some in
stances inadequate explanation of
others. Accordingly the Journal
sought further information from our
State department. Commissioner F:
p. Washburn, kindly complying with
the Journals, request makes the fol-
lowing statement on Our Agricul-
tural Situation":
THE great amount of comment
now being made on the agricultural
situation in Maine, and the so-called
decadence of our agriculture, is at
tracing considerable attention, both
from within and without the State
all that has been written and spoken
upon the subject is worthy one,
namely to call attention 10 condi-
tons as they are with a view to i'm
proving them, yet there appears to be
some danger that a misunderstand-
ing may result. and that in some
cases at least, the picture has been
painted in darker hI1aS than wore
warranted. What is really needed at
this time is frank statement of the
case both for and against Maine
agriculture, a discussion of some Of
the causes that have lead to the un-
satisfactory conditions and some
suggestions for their Improvement
I'VE have grown almost accus-
toned during the past two years, to
hearing and reading statements
taken largely from the fourteenth
census showing how the number of
our farms. their acreage, etc. has
declined. Most OF these statements
are true and they carry an important
lesson. that these conditions cannot
be allowed to go on much longer
without seriously affecting the well
fare of the State, but some Of them
cannot be taken at their face value,
or should at least. be carefully an
alyzed before they are accepted.
Perhaps the most startling discIos-
ures made are those with regard 20

Burns Killing
Puzzles Police
in Cleveland, Ohio

Cleveland, Ohio. Oct. 27.-(By A.
P)-Cleveland police made an effort
late today to break through the BAR
rier of mystery which has closed
about the murder of Mrs. Hazel
Burns, whose body was found late
Wednesday, buried in shallow grave
near gainesville, Lake County, by
summoning to police headquarters a
man who is said to have heard an
argument between the victim and her
husband Henry j. Burns, now held
on a charge of first degree murder.
The argument, it was said, occurred
two days before Mrs. Burns b,dy
was found and was over the pos
session OF a revolver.
The Cleveland officers said they
were now working on a theory that
a hired assassin may have committed
the crime.

Order Release
Seized Canadian
Rum Schooner

Washington, Oct. 27.-Port au-
thorities ut New York were ordered
by the treasury today to release the
Canadian schooner Emerald, whose
seizure outside the three-mil limit
by the prohibition authorities re-
suited in protest from the British
government.
The treasury, officials acted upon
the recommendation of the State De-
partment where it was indicated that
the seizure was regarded as in VIC
lation of the policy laid down by
President Harding recently, and I'M
der which the prohibition navy was
ordered to conflne its operations to
American territorial waters except in
the cases Of vessels found to be in
communication with the shore by
means of their own boats or creas.
Officials made no announcements Of
the precise facts in the Emerald case
as ascertained after an investigation,
but it was indicated that the reports
of prohibition agents did not es-
tablish any such communication be-
tween the vessel and The shore.
The recommendation by Secretary
Hughes that the Emerald be re-
leased was made after careful con-
sideration of reports prepared by
agents Of the Department of Justice.
treasury officials, prohibition en-
forcement officers, and members of
the Emerald's crew. The prohibition
officers who made the seizure are
understood to have held that the
presence near the Emerald of boats
laden with liquor was sufficient to
justify action regardless of the
ownership of the smaller craft
State Department officials declin-
ed to comment on the treasury an
nouncement, or to indicate just what
form would be taken by their reply
to the British protest. 1t was indi-
Gated, however. that the Emerald's
release probably would make it pos
sible to send the reply forward with

ANNAPOLIS METHODS
ANT|QUATED SAYS
PRES, SILLS, b0WD0IN

Brunswick, Me, Oct. 27.--Instruc-
ton at the Naval Academy at An
napolis. is antiquated. President
Kenneth C. M. Mills, said at exer-
,cises held in Bowdoin college chapel
today in observance of Navy Day.
He was for nve years member of
the Board Of Visitors of the eca-
denny, and president of the board for
two years.
"BoWdoin shares with the State of
Maine an unusual sense of the obi
cation of the country to the navy as
a first line of Defense" he said.
There is one department of the
Navy in which all college men should
take deep interest and that is the
Naval Academy. 1t is in many ways
a splendid institution and worthy of
the pride which the nation has al
ways felt for it; but the people
ought to understand that the instruc-
ton there is Anticipated and that in
many departments the students are
not receiving the teaching to which
they are entitled.
1.-THE future of the Navy depends
in measure upon the training given
at the academy, and the American
people should demand that in every
way that training should be of the
very best; that it should be as mod
ern and efficient as we wish the
whole Navy to be. 1t is not so now"
Strong belief in the efficacy Of the
Washington Conference on Arma-
ments, and in the theory that the
only sort of Limitation of armauents
lies in mutual agreement, he said,
was affirmed by Bowdoin college in
paying it's tribute to the Navy.
I'VE believe that disarmament
must come by mutual agreement
among the nations" he said, 'and
very little can be hoped of disar-
ment by example. We also believe
that the Navy should be kept 10 a
state of high efficiency. The Navy,
as in the case of the disaster at
Smyrna. may be messenger Of
mercy.
1.-THE officers and men of the Navy
should feel that the best sentiment
of the nation is behind their en-
beavers. be equally ready to back up
in any enterprise that calls for eff
cheney, and to curb any militar,stic
tendency. In this spirit on Navy Day
we salute the Navy"
