GIVE UP COLLEGE ATHLETICS,
OR $3,000,000WHICH?
Hwarthmora Puzslsd Whether to Withdraw From Intercollegiate Sports
as a Price For the Big Bequest of a Rich Quakeress.
Philadelphia. By the will of Miss Anna T. Jeanes, member of one of
the oldest and; wealthiest of Pennsylvania Quaker families, Swarthmore
College is to receive coal lands valued at, possibly, $3,000,000 if it gives up
forever all participation in intercollegiate athletics. If the trustees sol
emnly pledge themselves to forbid every possible form of physical contest
with other institutions of learning, from football to lawn tennis, the lands
on which are collieries paying heavy royalties go to the institution abso
lutely; if they fail to do this the property goes to other charities.
Miss Jeanes was almost the last immediate member of her family, and
died recently in the Friends' Home, which she established. The surviving
members of the family are too wealthy to be affected by the disposal of the
14,000,000 she left. All are strict adherents to the ancient faith and their
wealth has come from the increase in value of property acquired genera
tions ago.
Swarthmore College is a co-educational institution, maintained by
Sttlthv Quakers of Phlladarohia. on the outskirts of the citv: It has always
teen riistinsrrffah1 for thA nth latin nrowsa of its atiidpnts Tts fonthnll
baseball and lacrosse teams particularly have excelled, while it has pro
duced several intercollegiate champions in general athletics. Members of
the Jeanes family have from time to time helped the college, until to-day
Its productive fund is about $900,000. Miss Jeanes was always opposed to
athletics, holding they absorbed too much of the students' time and engen
dered harsh feelings between colleges. She made known this in her will.
The question of accepting the bequest came up at the fall meeting of
the Board of Managers and a committee, consisting of Joseph Wharton,
Charles F. Jenkins and Howard Cooper Johnson was appointed to investi
gate; the lands and make a report to the board at the next meeting in De
cember. .
Mr. Wharton, who is one of the executors of the Jeanes estate, read
that portion of the will of the Quakeress relating to the institution, and the
board, several members of which are women, listened attentively. No one
seemed anxious to give up the money, but none seemed willing to ta"ke the
initiative in advocating the abolition of athletics.
While the committee is investigating the pulse of the college will be
felt. From interviews with men prominent In the Quaker college affairs
It looks as if the gift would be rejected. Dr. G. A. Hoadley, chairman of
the Faculty Committee on Athletics, said:
"Athletics are the blood and bone of a college. They should not be
cut out for any amount of money. The faculty are opposed to the accept
ance of the gift under the conditions imposed."
Walter Clothier, chairman of the Alumni Athletic Committee, says that
so tar as his committee goes he does not believe athletics should be given
up for any amount. He is also credited with having said that the college
would rather win a victory from the University of Pennsylvania on the ath
letic field than hae the money.
Professor Hoag, who represents the liberal element of the faculty,
said: "I talked with Miss Jeanes frequently about athletics. She was par
ticularly opposed to football, as she said she had read so much in the
papers about the accidents which attended the game. She was also opposed
to the gambling that so frequently develops over games."
Herman Pritchard, captain of the football team, said: "We would
rather have intercollegiate athletics than all the money left by Miss Jeanes,
or even all the money in Wall Street."
. Swarthmore enjoys at present an endowment of $900,000. An addi
tion of $3,000,000 to its productive funds would place it at once on the
financial standing of Brown, Princeton, the Northwestern University and
the University of California, and within a million dollars of the University
of Pennsylvania.

Ending State Conflicts.
Evansville, Ind. President Roose
velt telegraphed to Captains Moore
and Williams, the Evansville steam
boat inspectors, directing them to
suspend by telegraph the license of
the master of the Fred J. Hart wig, of
Paducah, Ky. Reckless navigation ofc
that boat in the fleet going down the
Mississippi, from Cairo, 111., to Mem
phis, is the reason for the order.
The Hartwig indulged in a race on
the Mississippi with another boat
and endangered, for a few minutes,
the steamer Mississippi,, the Presi
dent's craft. Mr. Roosevelt's tele
gram, which was dated on board the
Mississippi, follows:
"I direct that the license of the
master, or whoever isresDonsible for
-the Fred Hartwig during the present
voyage, d suspended at once, for
ninety days. I wish this" done by
telegraph, wherever the boat may be
if such procedure is possible. Col
onel Sears can give you the details
of the misconduct, which has been of
a serious nature, and might have'at
any time caused an accident to this
boat, as well as to other boats.
The Hartwig carried the Pittsburg
delegation. In the trip from Cairo
there was some jockeying among the.
pilots of the river craft for positions
near the Mississippi. Thfe behavior
of the Fred Hartwig, which repeated
ly crowded the boat of the President,
angered nearly every other, boat's
master. Just as New Madrid was ap
proached, the pilots of the Lily and
Alton pocketed the Hartwig and gave
her their smoke.
Inspectors Moore and Williams im
mediately suspended the Captain cf
the Hartwig by telegraph, and inves
tigation of his conduct on the river
will be had at once.

Keokuk, Iowa. Declaring that his
program for the prosecution of large
moneyed Interests was only a contrib
utory cause and not mainly responsi
ble for any business depression in the
country, but that in any event he
would not retreat from the campaign
he had begun, President Roosevelt
addressed an immense throng here
at the beginning of his Mississippi
River trip. One sentence especially
caught the crowd. It was:
"If righteousness conflicts with the
fancied needs of business then the
latter must go to the wall."
The President was cheered when
he said representatives of great mon
eyed interests had beseeched him to
stop his prosecution of "great wrong
doers" in business and had refused.
He said that it would be "infamous
not to do all that can be done to
punish these men" whose deeds are
peculiarly reprehensible.
CANADA YIELDS TO JAPAN.
Will Pay Damages and Not Demand
Direct Passports.
Ottawa, Canada. Japanese Con-Bui-General
Nosse has formally pro
tested to the Dominion Government
against Japanese being detained at
Vancouver because they did not have
passports from the Japanese Govern
ment. His contention that it is a
violation of the treaty was accepted
by the Canadian Government, and the
immigration agent at Vancouver has
been so instructed.
Mr. Nosse presented claims for
damaees sustained by Japanese in
the Vancouver riots amounting to
nearly $6000. At a Cabinet meeting
it was decided to pay the claim. Van
couver will later be asked to refund
the amount.
Secretary of War Declares Hostilities
Between Nations "Would Be a
Crime" Conciliatory Utterances
Make Profound Impression.
Tokio, Japan. Secretary Taft's
speech at the banquet given him by
the municipality and the Chamber
of Commerce is regarded here as the
most important event in the history
of the relations of Japan and the
United States since the treaty nego
tiated by United States Minister Al
fred Buck in the late '90s, when he
issued his appeal to American resi
dents to respect Japanese laws and
institutions, whi h made Buck the
most popular of Ministers.
Taft's speech is regarded as restor
ing the warmth of the , old national
friendship. The Japanese who at
tended the banquet and who were
representative of .all classes, are
unanimous in comniending the speech
as reassuring beyond expectations.
Taft's fearless and outspoken treat
ment of the dreaded topic appealed
strongly to the admiration that Amer
ican sincerity has always commanded
here.
Marquis Matsukata, a leading
member of the Elder Statesmen, said
that the speech ought to end all talk
of war, for it had voiced the true
feelings of both sides.
The speech of welcome at the ban
quet was made by Baron Shibusawa,
governor of the Bank of Japan. He
said the Japur ?se regarded the Amer
icans as their own people and he
wished Mr. Taft so to tell their broth
ers over the sea.
Secretary Taft's speech was in part
as follows:
"I wish to express my heartfelt
thanks for this magnificent evidence
of good will. Since my visit in 1905
Japan has been through a titanic
struggle, but peace is dawning. The
hAmericans are proud that Mr. Roose
velt, witn tne prestige or tne Amer
ican Presidency, hastened the end of
a peace that is honorable to both
Japan and Russia. , .
"Japan has proved, -as great in
peace as in war. She has taken first
rank among the nations Her growth
from a hermit nation in fifty years is
a marvel to the world. The Amer
icans are proud of Japan. She has
always had the cordial sympathy and
effective aid of the United Stated.
The names of Perry, Harris, Bing
ham, Grant and Roosevelt are insep
arable from Japan's attainment of
her position as a world Power.
"Now for the moment there is only
a little cloud over our friendship of
fifty years, but the greatest earth
quake of the century could not shake
our amity. I do not intend to con
sider details.
. "The word war is not allowable in
diplomatic correspondence, but those
who are not diplomats can talk war.
I do not hold that war is entirely un
justifiable when international griev
ances cannot otherwise be redressed.
But war is hell, and only a great
cause which cannot be settled by
diplomacy justifies it.
"A war between America and
Japan would be a crime against civ
ilization. Neither people desires it,
and both Govc.aments will strain
every nerve, to prevent it."

patriotic air and the statesman re
ceived a rousing welcome.
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs,
who headed the local reception com
mittee, was one of the first to greet

In accordance with the Mexican
custom Chapultepec Castle was for

Mexico. The apartments that Mr.
Root and family occupied- are the
most elaborate in Mexico.
With all the members of the Mexi
can Cabinet present, President Diaz
received Secretary Root in the Hall
of Ambassadors in the National Pal
ace. Mr. Root was presented by Ignacio
Mariscal, the Foreign Minister. He
said he was delighted to meet the
man who had made Mexico one of
the foremost of Latin-American
countries, and he hoped for a contin
uance of the good results arising
from the cordial relations between
the United States and Mexico.
President Diaz in reply said that
Mr. Root's zealous work for a better
understanding between the United
States -and Latin-America was well
known and duly appreciated, and he
welcomed the Secretary in the name
of the Mexican nation.

UNMARRIED WOMEN AND VISIT
ING CARDS.
Much doubt seems to exist on the
correctness, or the reverse, of young
unmarried women having visiting
cards of their own. A girl never has 1
a card of her own hi the best society.
To do so argues one of three things,
either that she has become an old
maid, or is in a business or profession,
or has adopted a quite undue inde
pendence of character. To define the
age when a single woman may have
her own card is a matter of some
difficulty. One girl becomes a mature
woman at thirty, while another re
mains a mere bantling oven after she
has reached that mile-stone. Char
acter has much to say on the subject,
and a great deal also depends upon
circumstances. Nowadays, even girls
in a high position strike- out in a line
for themselves. They write, paint,
go in for nursing, or study music al
most as a profession. In such cases
as these, a girl would have many
friends apart from her parents' circle,
and might have a card of her own
while still in the later twenties, says
Woman's Life. But, as a general rule,
this flag of freedom should never be
waved before a single woman has
reached the age of thirty-five or forty,
especially if she has a mother alive
on whose card her name could appear.
