' Theunexpected happe�ed in the firstevent on the program when Dun­ham pushed the sixteen pound shot44 feet 2 inches on his last trialThis is his fourth year as a shotputter. Garrell's mark of' 43-' feet6 inches is consistant with the workhe has been doing right along Themile run was the best event on theprogram and was practically a duelrace between Coe, a sophomore andRowe, a freshman Coe led at thefinish by a quarter of a lap in theremarkable time of 4 minutes and29 seconds. This established a newgymnasium record, the old one be­ing 4 minutes and 30 seconds heldby Kellogg.The polo vault record of 10 feet10 inches 'was also broken by Fish­leigh with.a mark of 11 feet. Themost amusing feature of the meetwas the special relay race betweenthe football and the baseball men."Octy" Graham, the 250 poundsprinter, ran first for the footballmen and at the finish had a leadover" Eva" Turner the 240 poundbaseball star.The first gun in the annual hair­cutting war between the freshmenand sophomores was fired this af­ternoon by the Sophomores. Whilethe unsuspecting Freshman toast­master was enjoyiug exercise in the"gym" he was suddenly seized bya band of "Sophs" and in 'a fewmoments his head resembled a pro­verbial billiard ball. The Fresh­men are now busily engaged in or­ganizing squads bent on WRakingvengeance on any unlucky "Soph"who falls in their clutches thisevening. From now on each un­derclassman will be painfully con­scious all the while of some one• 'laying" for him with evil desicnon his locks; door fastenings will beexamined with great care andnumerous fine schemes to thwartthe intruders will be devised. Thisis the earliest cutting on record andaugurs ill for both classes on accountof the cold inclement weatherwhich will be none too good fornigh t excursions and rather un­com fort able for bald heads.

Energy andWisdom, Says Professor 'Meyers•• Municipal ownership of thestreet railways in Great Britain hasbeen practically a complete failure.while the United States, on thewhole, enjoys a traction systemwhich is unsurpassed."The foregoing is a statementmade yesterday by Professor HugoR. Meyers, in a lecture, "GreatBritains Lesson in Municipal Own­ership for the United States."For many years Professor Meyerswas an instructor in the departmentof Economics at Harvard, and hasjust returned from an extensivetour of Great Britan and the conti­nent, where he made a careful andexhaustive study of municipal own­ership and allied industrial experi­ments."Perspicuity, courage, foresight,power of persuasion, executive ca­pacity, masterfulness .of mind, allexact their price," he said. "It isa handful of men of this class thathas given the world its street rail­ways. To enlist the services of thesemen, without whom success is im­possible, the promise of returnscommensurate with the risk mustbe advanced. The experience ofGreat Britain conclusively provesthat where individual enterprisehas not stepped in no industrialprogress has been made.""Great Britain has tried to cor­rect the same abuses in the opera­tion of public utilities in the UnitedStates,by government ownership ofone kind or another. On the wholethe interests of the individual andof the community coincide. GreatBritain has emphasized the fact thatindustrial progress and developmentcome not from the efforts of the in­dividual or of the state but fromthe energy and wisdom of smallbodies of men-private 'corpora­tions.""A comparison between the tractionsituation of the United Kingdom and ofthe United States, is perfectly just,becausethere are about the same number of citiesof the same size in the two nations. Theintroduction of street railways has beenmuch more general here than in GreatBritain as, in this country, there is onemile of urbaa street railway treck to every1,6(X) of the population, while in theUnited Kingdom there is one mile of trackfor every 8,<XX> inhabitants. In GreatBritain there are 2,� miles of track;in the United States, 22,000. This is notdue to lack of enterprise on the part ofthe English capitalist because no moredaring speculator than he can be found.In 1870 for instance, English capital hadopened street railways in Madrid, Con­stantineple, and St. Petersburg, althoug hvery little capital could he induced to in­vest in street railways in Great Britan he­cause of the threatening attitu te of thedifferent municipalities.""In 18fiO, the British munici­palities definitely decided that, forthe future, they would have noth­ing but municipal ownership, or atbest, franchise grants for shortterms with the provision that theContinued on pap 3, column 2,-- $500 Pled,ed .From MeD's Athletic l'und­Commitee Selected. to Collect CoDtribu­tions- EntertainmeDt to be in April High School MeD Who I'inlahecl SecoDdand Third iD PrelimiDaries Will Com­pete for Place in Finals Tryout Meet for Track Squad Sat­urday Gives Hope of AnotherStrong TeamDefinite work has now been be­gun towards securing the $1,000 asa permanent fund for the Woman'sAthletic emblem.

In It;74, JosephChamberlain declared that the cityshould receive the revenue fromthe operation of public utilities.He further admitted that he wishedthe functions of the city to be en­larged enough to furnish greateropportunities for the activities ofthe municipal politician. Eversince, municipal operation has fur­nished the politician a fruitful field."In the latter eighties. the firstelectric street-railway in the worldwas opened by English capital inIreland, the poorest division of theUnited Kingdom. This railwaywas opened in Ireland because noBritish municipality would consentto reasonable franchise terms. Asthe municipalities refused to renewexisting franchises for periods longenough to warrant the companiesto convert from horse power toelectricity and as the cities them­selves did not have sufficient timer­ity to undertake conversion.in 18Hf>,when there were 10,000 miles ofelectric railway in the UnitedStates. there were less than 100miles in the United Kingdom""Glasgo\\' began to install elect ric rail­ways in 1901. Boston had hers completedten years before. In 1891. on account ofthe aggressive policy of Glasgow againstthe traction company. they took over thelint's, thus beginning their municipalownership. and immediately renewed thesystem as a horse-car line. They boughtnew horses, huilt new barns, and com­pletely rebuilt the system on a plan that. had been obsolete for years;'"The population of Glasgow isabout a million. In this countryin cities of this.size there is on allaverage, one mile of track to every22,000 inhabitants; in Glasgow, onemile to every 250,000 of popula­tion. As the Glasgow lines are soshort and inadequate, it results inrightful overcrowding. Thirty­seven per cent of the people ofGlasgow live from three to twelvein one room, or from five to twelvein two rooms. It can readily beproven that the high death rateamong this class, thirty-two perthousand. is the result of this over­crowding.""Under private ownership (If streetrailways this condition would largely beobviated as private enterprise would pushthe lines out into the suburbs. Govern­ments have proven themselves just asselfish as individuals; and for the sake ofa few pounds, Glasgow is conteut to seethousands of her citizens perish."The expense per passenger for con­ducting transportation is $.015, and theaverage revenue 1-0175, makinc a profitof f.OO25. With the small surplus thatthis gives, expausioo ahead of traffic isimpossible ..."Much has been said about the'zone' fare system of Glasgow. Onecan ride six blocks for 1 cent -theequivalent of 2 cents in Americanmoney. As very few working peo­ple will ride six 'blocks, this is ofchief value to the class to whomthe difference of a few cents is im­material. When it comes to thefour- cent 'zone,' in which the bulkof the passengers are carried, as itwould be impossible to go fartherwithout covering the same groundtwice, there is little difference be­tween English and American prac­tice. It must be remembered thatthe municipality of Glasgow pays'its conductors and motormen lessthan half what is paid in this country." .At his next lecture which will begiven Tuesday, March 14, in CobbHall Professor Meyers will discussthe result of the experiments ofGreat Britain in municipal owner­ship of water and lighting estab­lishments.

Text of Lecture DeUTered by AIalItantProfellOr TllolDpaoD to Upper JunJoraThe almost accidental nature ofthe founding of the present govern­ment of France was the text ofAssistant Professor Thompson's lec­ture on "France as the Third Re­public", delivered before the UpperJuniors today at 10:30.• 'Out of the wreck of things thatfollowed the distressful outcome ofthe Prussian invasion it was neces­sary that some sort of governmentbe finally established," said Mr.Thompson. "But the establish­ment of the republic was not deter­mined by the general desire of thepolitical leaders for that form ofrule. As I just suggested, someform .f �overnment had to be setup, but the mutual jealousy anddistrust of the Orleanists, Bona­partists and Bourbonists, made itimpossible to agree that anyone ofthe old families should rule; and sothey combined to form a republic-­each party hoping that it wouldquickly be able to take the make­shift to pieces and establishthe government of his own desire"But time went by and the Re­public continued to grow in strengthwhile now the Orleanists. Bonapar­tists and Bourbonists have lost thelast vestiges of their influence."The present Republic is thefirst government in France since1789, to last for more than one gen­eration, and the fact that the menwho make up France today wereborn under its rule, assures its per­manence."The lecture was closed with abrief summary of the problems withw hich France is' wrestling today­railway regulation, the relations ofChurch and State. public educa­tion; and, most difficult of all, cor­ruption in politics.FR&SIUIAK DEBA.TBRS MEETDiacuas tile Questions of Bilh License andProhihition aDd A1Iinnative WinsThe Freshman Debating Clubheld its regular meeting last night.at eight 0' clock in.
