The generally ac cepted statement that college athletes shorten their live by excessive exercise was attacked yesterday by Dr. W. G. Anderson, of Yale. While addressing the members of the Society of College Gymnasium, director at the New York Athletic Club, he declared that partici pation in sports is( beneficial in almost every rase. To emphasixe his argu ments he presented statistics covering many years. II also slated that the statistics proved conclusively thst the heart is bo injured and that a larger percentage of athletes than those who live a sedentary life do not die of lung trouble. In discussion "The relation of various conditions of th heart to muscular exercise Dr. Meylon of Columbia Uni versity said that there was a decidedly higher rate of cardiac pulsations in speed tests than in strength tests, and as a result, the former, if not conducted by an able, careful superviser are apt to be harmful.

GIVE RECOGNITION Government May Recognize Santo Domingo Revolutionaries. THE PRESIDENT HAS FLED As Soon aa Uncle Sam is Satisfied that New Government Can Maintain Peace and Order, Official Recofnltioa Will Be Granted. Chicago, Dec. 28. A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington, D. C, says: Official recognition will be accorded the new government of Santo Domingo as soon as Minister Dawson is satisfied that it wilt be able to maintain peace and order and to protect the live and property of foreigner. , , Following this recognition Minister Dawson will endeavor to secure the for mai assent of the new government to the treaty which was negotiated by President Morale. This is the program the administra tion has decided to follow. It involve complications but, short of the actual occupation of the island, it is the only wsy out of the embarrassing situation which has developed a a result of the flight of President Morale. Had the treaty been ratifW a originally submitted to the Senate it would have ben possible for the Prci- dent to have directed the landing of nmrines and a suppre-sion of the re volt. In view of the criticism of the treaty made by eenator and of the fail ure of the upjier house of congre to ratify it and of the fact that there i no authority nave that of Morale him self for the collection of Dominican ciis- tom by Americans, such a course at thi stage would be obsolutely indefen sible and is so recognized by the ad minintratkm. Therefore it i propsed to play a waiting game and see whether the new government will be able to maintain it self and if so to require it to bind it self to support the treaty.
