THOSE WHO WILL TAKE PART The Subject One of Growing National Importance. CHOICE OF CONTESTANTS ee Next to commencement day the most im- portant event at Georgetown University is the annual debate for the Merrick medal, which 1s held on Washington's birthday an- niversary, February 22. This year is no ex- ception, and the debate will be heid tomor- row evening in the Gaston Memorial Hall of the university. That the general public, the friends and patrons of the institution enjoy these debates is clearly evidenced by the large crowds which annually attend, the seating capacity of the hall being taxed to its utmost. The audience represents the best element of society, ready to applaud the sentiments of the speakers that reach Harry R. Gower, Chairman. the right spot, while enjoying the feast or oratory that continues the entire evening. For years this debate has been a time- honored custom, in fact, since 1879. when the late Judge Richard Merrick of this city, wishing to arouse greater interest among the students of Georgetown, con- cerning vital questions of the dey. and at the same time turn their attention toward the study of eloquence, of which he him- self was such an able exponent, founded the Merrick medal. The univers'ty was en dowed with a sufficient sum o&{ money to purchase the handsome medal which the founder wished to give, and ever since tha: time the medal has annually been awarded to some fortunate student. For a student to win this medal is considered hy ail con- nected with the university us one of the most notable achievements in his career st college. The contestants for this medal, four in number, are annually chosen from the members of the Philodemic Society, the oldest organization of its kind at George- town. It was founded in 1830 and has for its primary objects, as its constitu- tion states, the cultivation of truth, elo- quence and literty. If the measure of its success in the pursuit of these noble aims may be determined by the number of PEPE LE SEO SES ED GEE SOTO TOTO GO HE ree “Get It at Mertz’s.” raseedeatordonteseasegengenegegeeseeseeseasegeogecseege tease UR clearing-up sale of all win- ter stock of Fancy Cheviot Suitings is meeting with the hearty appreciation of good dressers, who seek to save money—think of it, Suits to order only $7: anda line of Trousers $7)-50 2 — sale still continues — tailoring exclusively. to-order only Mertz and Mertz, 906 F Street N.

As it is the question that kas been selected {s one on which some of the greatest minds are busy. The num- ber of articles for and against this que: tion that are finding their way into the representative magazines show that it is gradually beginning to take hold of the public mind. Ever since the death of the first President of the United States a question somewhat similar to the one to be debated by the young men has been spasmodically introduced in’ Congress at intervals of fifteen or twenty years.

Spe- Senator Mallory of Florida, at the so- clety’s annual banquet last year, in the course of his address, said that when he was a student at Georgetown, “‘to be elect- ed vice president of the Philodemic So- ciety was considered an honor second only to the presidency of the college.” The honor this year is held by Mr. Edward J. Brady of Garrett Park, Md., who is a member of the class of ‘38. He has also been chosen to represent the society in the debate which will occur tomorrow. The Contestants. The contestants for the Merrick medal, as before stated, are selected entirely from the rarks of the Philodemic Society, and limited to four in number. This number is regarded as about right, and the selec- tion of the contestants is made on a just and equitable basis. This year the society elected Edward J. Brady, tirst arfirm- ative; Samuel J. Waggaman, District of Columbia, '98, second affirmative; Maurice Decisions of the Supreme Court Hand- ed Down Today. Justice Brown handed down the opin- fon of the United States Supreme Court today in the case of Elizabeth Wetzel and others against the Minnesota Railway and Transfer Company, involving title to 160 acres of land within the limits of the city of St. Paul. The land in controversy was located upon a land warrant issued in 1847 to Mrs. Wetzel and minor children, as the widow and heirs of a man named Remsen, who had served in the Mexican war. This warrant was sold to a man ramed Taylor, who located the land. It appears, however, that when Mrs. Wet- guished party. The parade will form at 2] zel, then Mre.

The purchasers from Taylor had bought under his patent from the government, and the court thought that, under all the circumstances, and especially because of the laches of the heirs, the title should not be disturb- ed. The case was appealed from the cir- cuit court of appeals for the eighth cir- cuit. The decision of that court was against Mrs. Wetzel, and its opinion was affirm- ed by today’s decision. Appraisers Sustain The Supreme Court delivered an opinion in the case of the United States against Alexander Murphy et al. The case in- volved the corstruction of the tariff act of 1890 in relation.to worsteds. Murphy & Company imported certain merchandise, consisting of women’s and children’s dress goods, composed of worsteds. The col- lector classified it and assessed it for duty under paragraph 395 of that law, the rate being 12 cents per yard and 50’ per cent advalorem. The importers protested, claim- ing the mercharGise to be dutiable at the rate of 40 or 50 per cent advalore ac- cording to value, under paragraph 283. The importers protested and the board of ap- praisers overruled the protest. The cir- cuit court reversed this verdict and was sustained by the circuit court of appeals for the second circuit. Thus, both courts cecided in favor of the importers for the lower rate. Today’s decision reversed the courts and sustained the board of ap- praisers, making worsteds dutiable at the higher rate.

Among the many attendants were members of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The French ambassador and his secretary were also present. The Marine Band was stationed in the gallery. The audience rose during the opening march, and while standing sang, to the accompaniment of the organ, “‘Olc Hundred.” Prayer was offered by Rev. T. 8. Childs, D.D., and Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes sang ‘‘The Holy City. Rev. Chas. A. Stakely, D.

A letter from Private Secretary Porter was read, expressing the regret of the President at his inability to be present. Dr. Edward Gallaudet, who presided, spoke of the organizations assembled to celebrate the day, and expressed his belief that they would ultimately be united. Mr. A. G. Nickolds sang a solo, after which Mr. John Goode of Virginia was announced as the principal speaker of the afternoon. Mr. Goode welcomed the French ambassa- dor to the meeting, and declared that this country will ever hold in greatest respect the sister republic that gave to her Lafay- ette in the time of her great trouble. As a mark of respect to the French am- bassador and the French republic the Marine Band played the ‘‘Marseillaise.” The national anthem, “America,” was sung by the audience, and the benediction wa: pronounced by Rev. R. H. McKim, D. D. “The Star Spangled Banner,” by the Ma- rine Band, closed the services. Edward J. Brady, B. Kirby, District of Columbia, 98, first negative, and Thomas J.
