the San Luis Obispo district in California
at about tho same time. It ' has been
reported tha"t the Oregon troops were to
be reassigned to the California maneuvers
but the report lacks confirmation.
UoUvecn 6000 and 8000 Soldiers
Will Take Part Attention to Be
Paid to lteslsting Foreign l-'oe,
llcpresented by the Navy.
That several squadrons, of the American
battleship fleet will lie in Puset Sound for
several weeks the coming Summer and co
operate with the Army in Coast defense
maneuvers in the vicinity of American
Iake, "Washington. was learned yesterday
from an authoritative source. Just how
many warships ill b- sent cannot be
stated at this time .as the Xavy Depart
ment has not worked out the plan, hav
ing merely aurrrd to participate with
the Army and National Guard.
As has been announced previously by
the War Department, a slate of war will
lie presumed to exist during the joint
maneuvers of August. Between 6000 and
SeJO troops will be at American Lake.
There will be several regiments of United
States infantry, one regiment of field ar
tillery, several snuadions if not a full
regiment of cavalry and the state regi
ments from Oregon. Washington. Idaho,
Montana and possibly from Utah and
Colorado. The mobilization of troops
will be on a larger scale than ever before.
The utility of the fleet will be to repre
sent a foreign naval f.Me seeking to har
ass the Coast country and land troops un
der cover of artillery fire. Actual at
tempts will be ma.ie to land hhiejackets
and marines. While the detailed plan
of the maneuvers will not be 'drawn for
several weeks yet, the general idea of
the movements have been indicated by
the Wiir Dpartment. Substantially all
the prolilems lo le -worked out will deal
with Coast defense work. -
Tho proximity of Puget Sound to the
American Lake district makes that the
logical point for Coast defense maneuvers.
' Jiarbor defense practice will be engaged
In at Fort Stevens by tho regular garri
son alone. , The three companies of Coast
artillery to lie organized in Oregon will
not be in readiness for service at the
month, of tho Columbia River this Sum
mer. .
Heretofore the joint maneuver at
American Lako have dealt with general
field problems without any particular at
tention being paid to problematical land-
ing parties from hostile ships. The wish
of the Government to specialize on the
subject of coast work Is taker) to indicate
an official recognition of the idea that
coast defense experience may become in
valuable before . great many years.
The Third Oregon Infantry, commanded
by Colonel C. B. MeDonell and tho Fourth
Oregon, in command of Colonel George O.
Yoran, will both participate in the Ameri
can Iake maneuvers. Under an order
Just issued, the Southern Oregon regiment
has been reorganized from the separate
company arrangement necessitated 'by an
' nrder issued by the War Department last
Kail, requiring 12-compaiiy regiments. The
"War Department order was annulled
shortly after the first of the year by act
of Congress, which extended the time
for reorganization two years. During
that period the Fourth Oregon Infantry
will be recruited up to a 12-company basis
and maintained permanently as a part of
the state force.
It Is likely that the Oregon battery of
field , artillery will also be sent to the
maneuvers. The battery, commanded by
, Captain H. U. Welch, has a full comple
ment of field rifles. of the latest pattern
and is regarded as one of the very best
light batteries in the United States.
Field work for every day of the man
euvers, is what the War Department has
decided imon. according to a communiea-
tldn received by Adjutant-General FinEer
from the v ar Department. In the past
there has been much complaint because of
the relative unimportance of maneuvers
and the great attention paid to drilling.
Regimental, battalion and company com
manders will play a more Important part
and the brigade movements will be mini
mized this year. The maneuvers will
open August 10 and continue for 10 days,
similar joint manuevers will be held in
BIBLE CLASSES' RIVALRY
Kacc for Xcw Members Run, With
Banquet as Stake.
Along with the evangelistic efforts
which have been put forth during the
Winter months, by a number of the
pastors of Portland, there has beer, a
marked increase in Bible study classes
and In the attendance at those already
organized. Adult Bible classes have
been organized during the last few
months at the Taylor-Street Methodist,
Grace Methodist, Arleta Baptist, and
First Christian Churches, and since
Rev. Clarence True Wilson took charge
of the Centenary Methodist Church- he
says that the interest has steadily in
creased. Perhaps the most notable increase In
attendance has been in the Baraca and
Philaphea classes organized with 11
members each In the Immanuel Baptist
Church on November 3, two months ago.
These are classes of young: men and
women, respectively, banded together
for systematic Bible study, for the en
couragement of members away from
home, and for the assistance of the
poor. The first Baraca and Philathea
classes were organized in 1890 in a
Baptist Church at Albany, N. Y.. by a
Mr.. Hudson. Since that time they have
heen started In churches throughout
the country.
The" young men and young women
of the Immanuel Baptist Church en
tered into a two-months' contest as spon
as the classeswere organized, with the
agreement that at the end of that time

Spirit of Fairness Marked Delibera
tions of Delegates, Says C. A.
McCIain Vote That Tramp
Athelete Must Go."
"There was a spirit of fairness and
a determination to do the square
thing among all the delegates to the
Northwest College conference," said Carl
A. McCIain, of the University of Oregon,
who returned from Walla walla last
Monday. "All the delegates realized
that improper conditions had existed in
Northwest athletics for some years and
that the conference should adopt certain
well-defined rules and enforce them with
out fear or favor.
"Conspicuous among the rules adopted
is the year's residence rule for men who
have played on other college teams. This.)
role applies to men who come from all
colleges. Its observance will eliminate
the 'tramp' athlete who goes from one
institution to another for athletics only.
it is an excellent rule and will tend to
correct abuses that have caused frequent
scandals here in the Northwest. The rule
has been tried in the East and Middle
West and has had the effect of purifying
athletics in these sections.
"In connection with this rule a regula
tion was adopted requiring a year's resi
dence from preparatory or sub-freshmen
students. It has been customary for some
of the colleges to recruit men from the
high schools and academies before they
were ready for college. In fact, most of
ttje 'tramp' athletes have been in the
preparatory departments of the different
schools.
Big Schools 'ot Hit.
"Tills rule will' affect the State Uni
versities of Oregon or Washington, for
neither of these Institutions is doing- pre
paratory work.
"The four-jear rule was made retroac
tive, but it will not go into efTect until
the end of the present college year. The
delegates were -of the opinion that four
years of 'college athletics ara enough for
any man. inis rule win put a premium
upon scholarship,- for poor students who
flunk will not be permitted to parti
cipate in athletics beyond the regular
term of their college Course.
"All men who engage in inter-collegiate
athletics will be required to carry success
fully at least three-fourths of the maxi
mum amount of work required bythe
curriculum of the school ,-in which they
are registered, and no student will be
permitted to compete who is delinquent
in more than one-half of a semester's
work. In other words football men can
not drop out of college when the season
closes and return for the following sea
son. Professionalism. Sunday baseball and
Summer baseball on 'brush' league teams
will not be tolerated.
. "The conference adopted a few simple
rules and they will be rigidly enforced.
T.here will be no red tape and unnecessary
machinery of operation. The governing
athletic body of each college will be the
court of appeal for all questions pertain
ing to the athletics of that college and
each institution will be in honor bound
to live up to the conference rules.
Championship Track Meet.
"The conference recommended a cham
pionship track meet for the year 1909. This
win probably be held at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
"There were no serious differences of
opinion in the minds of the delegates and
the conference was altogether harmoni
ous. Whitman College deserves- great
credit for calling the meeting and for her
hospitable treatment of the delegates.
"The four-year rule will disqualify a
number of football men at Pullman and
one or two at Idaho and Whitman,
Arnspiger will be the only Oregon man
affected by the rule. -Arnspiger has
already played his fpur years as tackle
on our team, but as he is earning his own
way through college by doing surveying
work he has missed a good deal of class
work and will not graduate with hi3 class
next June. He will be in college next
year, but the new rule will keep him out
of the conference games.
"This will naturally be a great disap
pointment .to the Oregon students, but
the wisdom of the four-year rule cannot
be doubted and there will be no com
plaint, even if it works a temporary hard-
l'A:;'G
OOP

ship. The work of the conference will
hieet with general approval at Eugene.

KEEPS ACTRESS OFF STAGE

Her From Appearing.
PARIS, Feb. 15. (Special.) A curious
case is shortly to come before the Paris
courts, in which the question will be

Rejane, claiming damages on the ground
that, having engaged her to prevent her
appearing on any other stage, Mme.
Rejane" will not allow her to play on her
own staere nor anywhere - else, but sys
tematically leaves her but of the cast of
all the plays which, are produced at the
