WASHINGTON. March 15. (Special Cor
respondence.) The President's going to
the play is attended with no more fuss and
feathers than if he were the merest cit
izen of the United States. The plmpllc
Ity of his comins and Koing at will is all
Hie more noticeable because of Its con
trast to the cuhtom of some of his pred
ecessors in office. President Harrison, for
Instance, would notify the theater man
ager beforehand that on such-and-such a
nitwit he would visit his playhouse. This
fact would be made the most of by the
lress agent, with the result "standing
room only' was to tc had after the first
day's announcement.
The Presidential party was invariably
late jn arriving for the performance, and
waited at the door until the orchestra
played "Hail to the Chief." This was
done even, when a scene had to be inter
rupted by the music.
Mr. Roosevelt finds a good play pleas
antly diverting after . the day's oflicial

venient, whether it be the opening night
or later in the week but always unher

At It meeting of March 6, 1006, the
faculty of Brown University requested
the committee on athletic and other
student organizations to transmit to
ih students of the university the fol
lowing communication:
The corporation of the university, by a
vote omnmuHlcHtHl to the faculty on April
IS. 1005. requeued the faculty te assume
antral ef ntliletk-K. In dlpc.hai-ge of the
duty which U then a-tsuinrd, the faculty
Imf voted to present to the students the.
"nitowtng tatcmet":
TttHl Intercollegiate athletic content as at
lrRt conducted arc attended by evils dc
inndlHC Immediate remedy is a conviction
lHt har forced itself recently on nil our
educational institution. Exaggeration of
:he Importance of athletic; systematic
wiMen ttt ruls of eligibility; secret Induce
ment In money or lt equivalent; excessive
luxury, extravagance. and often mlfmanage

duct of game these are evils apparently
haracterlKtlc of intercollegiate athletics
-rywherc. Unle they can be eliminated,
t: it evident that these contests cannot be
'.:etvcl to continue.
For.-evoral year this faculty has FOUghL
through the intercollegiate conference on
HTtletle and othenviw. to devise by Inter
Mte-gtatc agreement wrac effective plan for
UaMng with these evil. Having failed, in
t'm OMdeavor, and earnestly desiring to

heretofore between those matter." with which
ia-M)tie ought to and can successfully deal.
id tho-e with which they cannot, and that
th re-pon-llilllt for the latter should be
jil-eed In the hands of the students them
?.rve. The faculty should endeavor to sub
ordinate athletic Interests to the intellectual
alms et the college and put them In their
proper place In college life; should deter
mine under what rules as to scholarship and
attendance participation In athletics should
be allowed; and should insist, by means of
mk-H regulations as can be practically en
forced, that the games be made clean, hon
orable and gentlemanl. Insofar as it Is
Intpofc&lblo to eradicato evils by means of
glslatton. and insofar as inattore. arc by
tbeir very nature of particular concern to
'-.e -tudente themselves, the students should
' -r made responsible for them. Thus to stu-t.-rts
phould be entrusted the choice of reg
i .at ions concerning organization, rules of
i and eligibility, apart from matters of
holnrsktp and attendance; and of them
:-u-t be demanded that they conduct their
nmff and affairs honestly and fairly.
Iu accordance with this principle the fac
it has decided to adopt a set of regula
- on?, subject to such additions and re-ilon-
In the future as circumstances may
"fin te require. '
The main features of these regulations, so
far as they differ from those now 'In force,
are as follows:
Ftrt The appointment, subject to the ap
j roal of the corporation, of a supervisor of
a'hletlcs. among whose duties Ehall be the
exclusion from teams of men who aro physi
cally unfit; control of finances; supervision
f the Work of managers; supervision of
earning and training; and so far as he
on accomplish It, the maintenance of
y roper standards of play and conduct;
Second Limitation of the absences al
. iwed for.alhlctlc purposes to a number not
exceedlngthat which any student may take
without being required to account for them.
Third The exclusion of all students who
have entrance conditions, and of all who
have deficiencies amounting to more than
four hours for the preceding term, or more
than nine hours for all previous terms.
Fourth The exclusion of all students In
their first year of residence, and of gradu
ate students.
Fifth -The retention In the hands of the
faculty of the power and obligation Impoted

is going to Toklo by the American route,
so that he might visit the Russian Em
bassy and confer with Baron Rosen be
fore presenting his credentials to the

It has been many years since the Bak-
hamctoffs were here, and their return un
der such pleasant circumstances Is being
made the occasion for a reunion of old
friends, the general meeting ground being
the home of Madame BakhaxnetofTs sis
ter. Mrs. John R. McLean.
Other recent arrivals to whom a warm
welcome is extended arc the counselor of
the French Embassy and Madame des
Portes de la Fosse (familiarly known as
the des Portcs). who have been In France
on a leave of absence for nearly a. year.
Mademoiselle des Portcs was a debutante
of last season, and from the day of debut
until the departure of the family for Eu

in Washington than, theirs.
At the German Embassy there have been
more changes within the montlu The

brought to light.
modifications in the future as the Interests
of the university may seem to require.
The faculty realizes that these provisions
do not provide a complete remedy for the
evils in the present situation, and believes
that It cannot devise any set of regulations
capable of enforcement that can fully ac
complish the desired end- The final re
sponsibility for clean and sensible sport
must rest with the students themselves. The
faculty slpcorely trusts that the student
will accept the responsibility and will frame
such regulations as may do away with ex
isting evils so far as lies In their power,
and will heartily co-operate in enforcing
them.
It Is evident that by this plan larger re
strictions than heretofore are Imposed upon
tho stud'mts. ajid, largor- rspousibJliileiion
trusted to them. The faculty can see no
other way in which the situation now exist
ing can be fairly dealt with, and is con
vinced that upon the success or failure of
this plan in providing a remedy for existing
evils must depend the continuance or the
abolition of intercollegiate athletics.

ctttui In the llmllcd-round affairs of
Quakertown, the result was highly un
satisfactory, principally on account of
the fake appearance given the bout. The
men entered the ring with practically
nothing to gain by scoring a-vlctory. and
on account of the frequent hugging en
gaged in on the part of the principal.",
many have been hoard to remark that
the content was not on the level.
Both men may have given their best
efforts, but reading accounts of the fight
do not f-how that they did, and unless
they were matched for a longer bout
than six rounds their respective merits
cannot be Judged other than by opinion.
This is. of Itself, unsatisfactory to the
average sport, who seems anxious to
wager on the outcome of every event, for
the reason that the element of chance
Is practically eliminated by both contest
ants staying the lx rounds, and the in
ability of a decision being rendered by
the referee.
In spite of the prospect of just such an
outcome, the pavilion in which the bout
took place was thronged to the doors -by

Protest From 3ranngcr Fisher
Changes Schedule so That Los

SAX FRANCISCO, March IS. (Spo
cial.) The magnates of the Pacific
Coast Baseball League gathered to
night and decided several things, chief
among them being that Kid Mohlcr,
the second baseman of last year's San
Francisco team, should return to the
San Franclscos. For three hourx Russ
Hall, of Seattle, fought this issue, but
the committee decided In favor of tho
home aggregation. The strugglo to
retain Mohler has been a long and bit
ter one. and Ewlng. Glenson and Hall,
representing San Francisco and Seat
tle, have been lighting desperately to
secure Tils services. All the wise
prophets thought Seattle would finally
land the prize, but the decision of last
night puts theso forecasts in the shade.
Before the meeting convened both
the San Francisco directors. Cal Ewlng
and Glcason. and Hall, of Seattle,
agreed to abide by the decision of the
committee, consisting of Morlcy. Mc
Credlc and Fishor, and take the matter
out of the hands of the National com
mission to which it had been referred
several weeks ago.
When the matter came up for argument,
both Ewing and Hall told of how they
had signed up the little second baacmoh.
Ewing showed where he had secured
Mohler's signature to a contract January
27. Hall came back with a statement that
Mohlcr had agreed to play with him as
Jato as February 15. As Ewlng's deal
was more specific and businesslike, the
committee decided Mohlcr -should go to
the Seals.
Andrew Clunle, the man who purchased
the' San Francisco baseball team, and
later decided to get out of the game for
keeps, officially turned in his resignation
and deeded his Interests over to Cal Ew

the home team as well as a director In
the Recreation Park Association, and
treasurer of the league, succeeding Clunle.

RELIGION LIKE TO JOURNEY
Rev. T. IL Stephens Tells of the"
Valley, Canyons and Mountains.
At the Emmanuel Baptist Church. Sec
ond and Meade streets, yesterday. Rev. T.
H. Stephens discussed "Mountain Peaks
In Religious Experience." His texts were:
"And hath raised us up together and
made us sit together In heavenly places In
Christ Jesus" (Epheslans. 11:5), and "They
that wait upon the Lord shall renew their
strength: they shall run and not be
weary: they shall walk and not faint"
(Isaiah xll).
"Religious experience is full of varia
tions'. No two experiences arc the same."
said Rev. T. H. Stephens. "Llko the
scenery in a mountainous district, we
pass over hill and valley, cross rivers,
canyons, rise up to the uplands, and
sometimes -.cale the mountain peaks. So
the religious man on his journey may ex
pect to find hills and valleys. lowlands
and highlands, with here and there a
prominent mountain peak.
"To Fcale these peaks and with broad
ened vision take In the surrounding scenes
constitutes the highest Joy experienced In
a religious life. In our search for God,
the first mountain peak that rises up be
fore uh is conversion.
"From the deep valley of conviction for
sin, and from tho mire of native deprav
ity we turn our eyes upward and see tills
peak ridng up in the distance; and. with
a determination bom of heaven, wo begin
the Upward as cent.
"By genuine repentance sorow for sin
and determination to forsake it by faith
In the crucified one, wc rise up on wings
as eagles and rest our weary feet on this
mountain peak.
''Here the soul enjoys the highest expe
rience in its history. From this elevated
position .tho soul, with enlarged vision,
views the surrounding country, and Is
thrilled by the beauty and glory of the
scene.
"But In the dim distance may be seen
the shadow- outlines of other peaks that
seem to riso still higher. By a steady
gaze through the telescope of God's word
one prominent peak in the distance takes
definite form, and tho words 'Pentecostal
Peak can be clearly ccn. To scale that
peak may or may not be the desire of the
new convert. He may be satisfied with
his present heights of attainment, and
he may say This Is high enough for me,'
or he may take the wiser course and de
termine to reach the highest point pos
sible in the religious life. If this be his
determination, he need not be long in at
taining his object. He has had some help
ful experiences and has learned to climb."

the Final Score-
Six to Four.
STOCKTON, Cal.. March IS. 5pclaU
The Calaveras River overflowed its
banks yesterday, and as a result the Port
land Pacific Coast League team and the
Stockton . team transferred the game
scheduled for the local grounds to Lodi, a'
town 12 miles north of here. Portland
won the game by a score of 6 to 4. A
great deal of interest was shown by a big
crowd of fans from Stockton. Lodi and
surrounding towns.
Three of McCredie's young pitchers
were tried out, and each made a credit
able showing, although the manager was
not present to see them in action, for he
was called to San Francisco to attend a
meeting of the league directors, and
Catcher Donahue was in charge of the
team.
Merkle. tho southpaw from the Texas
League, started the game for the leaguers,
and during the first three innings he oc
cupied the slab, five hits and two runs
were scored off his delivery- He showed
plenty of speed and good control, and got
out of tight places with the ease or a
veteran. Howard allowed only two hits
during the next three innings, but seemed
troubled with soreness, and did not hae
good control. He got out of holes nicely.
Blondy Torhen. formerly with the Los
Angeles team, finished the game and
dlahcd out his offerings with plenty of
smoke, and- was only scored against in
the first inning he occupied the slab.
Up to the fifth inning it was a pretty
tie. the score being 2 and 2. although
Catcher Donahue, who hit like an old
leaguer, tried hard to break it In this
inning and succeeded In gotting as far as

Scvcn-Ycnr-Ohl Boy Draws Pictures
of Airships.
Exchange.
Taat Topsy unconsciously formulated
n splendid working philosophy of child
development in her naive assertion that
she "Just growed," is? being forced
upon Dr. and Mrs. Julian P. Thomas, of
172 East Seventy-second street. New
York City, by Odin their son. aged 7.
So consistently has the youngster for
three years expressed his determina
tion to work out his own salvation,
mentally and physically, that all his
nurses, governesses and tutors have
been dispensed with, and he will not
even be compelled to go to school until
he feels .so inclined.
Odin lately celebrated his seventh
birthday. He Is an enthusiast in his
pastimes. Some of the playthings, pro
vided at Ills own request, are a skel
eton, his favorite, whose every bone
hn knows by name: a physiological
chart, which has enabled him to study
the musculnr tissue, the nervous and
circulatory j-ystems: a fully equipped
automobile, boy's size, which he operates
and repairs: a great globe, which has
caused him to spurn all geographies.
The boy recently solved a problem In
airship construction which had(Iong per
plexed his father and the experts to whom
ho Itad submitted it. He devised a de
tachable aluminum joint for three con
verging hollow rods, which enables his
father to do away with .the cumbrous
bolts with which lie had been experi
menting. Odin recently surprised his father with
a drawing, of the model of an airship
which Dr. Thomas and some ot his friends
of the Aero Club of America have de
clared to be the best they have seen.
The young designer introduced a strik
ing Innovation in his model. In the form
of a powerful spiral spring, which would
do away with all Jolts and bumps Ind
&nt to alighting.
It was becauso of the boy's tendency to
be careres In the use of missiles that his
last tutor resigned.
In addition to his other accomplish
ments. Odin is a talented musician, and
makes an exception of his music and
drawing teachors In tho sweeping refusal
to deal with instructors.
While' Dr. Thomas declares that he will
Insist that Odin study medicine system
atically, he i almost ready to surrender
on all other questions of his son's educa
tion and permit him to learn as he
chooses.
The Only Born King.
Boston Herald.
There Is a fact ahout King Alfonso well
worth knowing;. Of all the Kings -who
have ever lived, "with the sole exception
of Jean I, of France, who lived hut a few
hours, he Is the only one to be a Kin?
from the moment of his first breath a
veritable "born Kins." And since he is
much spoken of these days It Is not
amiss to know his name, which is: His
Most Catholic Majesty Don Alfonso XIII.
King; of Spain, of Castile, of Leon, of
AraRon, of the two Sicilies, of Jerusalem,
of Navarre, ot Gibraltar, of the Western
and Eastern Indies, of the Oceanic Con
tinent. Archduko of Austria, Ihikc of Bur
jrundy. of Brabant and Milan. Count of
Hapsbur?. of Flanders, of Tyrol, andH
Grand Master of the Golaen Fleece. This
Is not really all. but it Is a good deal to
live up to, even for a King.
As to Catcs and Van Burcn.
A fan desires to know -whether Ell
Cates and Deacon" Van Buren are to
be with tho Portland team this season.
Cates was given his release at his own
request before the close of the past sea

mer. Van Burcn was a nonrescrve play
er and so far has not signed for the
coming season. McCredle anaouaccd
some time ago that he would not have
