-CAPITAL’S GUESTS Racing folk have ever clalmed that & Jockey is not one whit better than his ability to judge pace. McLaugh- lin, Garrison, Murphy, Sloan, Maher, Miller, O'Connor and other noted rid- ers of the past were so skilled in this essential that they could figure within a fraction of a second Just how fast their mount was traveling at any point of the race, which en- abled them to utilize a horse’s speed and stamina to the best advantage. So skilled was Winnie O'Connor In this respect that when traveling by rall he could tell within a sixteently ot a second what time the train .was making between any two specified mile-posts, which derful, but pitted against the remark- able feat accomplished last April by statisticians of America’s great rail-| roads in forecasting within a few | thousand cars the number of ear- riers required to move the country's unprecedented volume of freight trafic for the ensuing nine months, it fades into insignificance by com- varison. Running into R. L. Aishton of Chicago, president of the Ameriean Railway Association, at the Ward- man Park Hotel, shortly after the ge- ial had éxplained to the Amer- fcan Statistical Association what a wonderful vear the carriers had en- joved, he took time to detail how the work’ had been accomplished. He said “While those in charge of distribut- ing the huge sum apportioned to the carriers last spring had fully decided that every ton of freight must be moved, it was something of a_prob-{ lem to figure the number of cars needed for the operation. Undoubt- ed, however, we took available fig- ures of volume hauled in January und Febru.ry. (923, compared them with figures 1o ‘same months for the past five . and then, aver- aging all fright hauled during those vears, allowance was made for high beak and rock bottom periods,-a con- servative estimate was made, with | the result that by next Tuesday it will be found that we were only with- in a few thousand cars of what was absolutely needed.” Due to absence of any labor trouble whatever, no shortage of cars, and a weneral disposition on the part of all roads to co-operate, Mr. Aishton said that the past year has been the great- est in the history of American rail- roads, the ex of carloads moved being' 4.281,000 over and previous twelve months, x ok %k And, speaking of statistic mind, that former Mayor McClellan of New York, now pro- fessor of economics at Princeton University, has been in our midst for three or four days, and is at the Lee House. Aside from the silver among the gold, “Little Ma was familiarly called back in memorable campaign when he won ayoralty by an eyelash, is as sturdy and young-looking as in the days when the center . calls to orge B. threads as he tainly agrees with the smiling response, never felt better in my life. 1 am wrapped up in my work, which is a great improvement on politics, popular New Yorker went to join Mrs. McClelland, who was waiting but not quite so exciting.” And the vnce in a taxi. * * % Crime will out! republican national held their meeting here vestigation has been Ever since the a rigid in- under way to learn what Thomas W.

Tackled again Saturday afternoon in the lobby of the w Willard Hotel, whither he'd gone in search of R T.

He was so inter- esting that 1 wrote a full-page hu- man feature story about the lovable old man, and it pleased him so that whenever Fred would visit his uncle the governor would always ask, ‘And how's _that Tommy Brahany getting along? It was to receive word from one of the finest characters in Wis- consin that enticed me to ‘risk my reputation,’ but the message was worth it and I'd go again.” * ¥ ok % Fresh from an extended tour of in- epection through the south and southwest the Hon. Donald Mackin- non, commissioner in the United States for commonwealth of Australia, registered with his wife and two chil- dren at the Hotel Shoreham. The Australian was most enthusi- astic over conditions as he found them in the section traversed, and said that in Texas especially things were on the boom. “Cattle raisers appear to be on the | international verge of a great prosperity,” said Mr. Mackinnon, “and as that is what 1 am particularly interested in made me quite happy to encounter such optimism. Then, too, cotton has done wonders for most states in the territory. Texas alone raises twc- fifths of all the cotton In the United States, and with the advance in price she will realize more than $600,000,- 000 for the product.” Mr. Mackinnon reported conditions as fair in his homeland, considering the fact that it is at this time the rainy season begins in the north and | lasts until April. He will go to New York to meet Right Hon: S. N. Bruce, prime minister of Australia, who ar- rives shortly from England, where he has remained since adjournment of the imperial conference.

WEST POINT CADETS’ SCHOLARSHIP DROPS Head of Academy Traces Failures to Lower Standard in Schools First Attended. MASSACHUSETTS MEN FIRST Gen. Sladen Opposes Further En- rollment Increase. Ger.. Fred W. Sladen, superintend- ent of the West Point Military Acad- emy, in his annual report, makes the somewhat surprising statement that nearly 30 per cent of the caflets admitted on school certificates were discharged last year for academic de- ficiencies. As a result, the conclusion has been reached that such certificates do ot acurately represent the students' ability and attainments and also that there has been a lowering in the standard of teaching in some prepar- atory institutions. It was found, suys the report, that in states where Dbest educational systems are main- tained the students certified to the West Point Academy have no diffi- | culty in mastering the full course there. It is added that the records show that students from schools in Massachusetts rank first in ‘the aminations with a percentage of failures, the lowest in the case of any state. Gen. Sladen advises against any further increase in the number of cadets, having in view a limited out- He says that denial of all pubkc opportunities for instruction at the academy, however, would react unfavorably on the Army as a whole and deprive the service of much desirable officer material HARVARD GLEE CLUB # WILL APPEAR HERE Concert ~ Scheduled at Masonic Auditorium Tomorrow Night.

Must Enter or Submit to Finanoial Control, He Says. The alternative of the entrance into the league of nations by the United ! States is submission to “a league of financial interests,” Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, de- clares in an article written for the forthcoming issue of the organiza- tion's official magazine. The issue cannot be neglected, Mr. Gompers said, because public interest in the subject is growing to the point that “Europe promises to be an over- shadowing interest in 1924." BATIK MASQUE GIVEN.

By the 4ssociated Press. LONG BEACH, Calif., December 31. —After having been first identified as the remains of Father Vraniak, miss- ing priest of Virden, Ill, the body of a man found hanging to a tree in a willow grove north of here on De- cember 26 was later declared by a former resident of Virden and an in- timate acquaintance of the church- man not that of the clergyman who disappeared about a year ago. Upon being viewed here last night by T. A. Collins, who one time re- sided in Virden, the body was de- clared by Collins to be that of Father Vraniak. Recelving this information the police of Long Beach telegraphed the Virden authorities requesting pic- turgs and a detailed description of the priest: Several hours later Willlam Stevens, also from Virden, who de- clared that he had known Father Vraniak intimately, examined the body and declared positively that it was not that of the clergyman. Col- lins said that he had known the miss- ing man only by sight. The body was found by a Mexican ranch hand, who had entered the clump of woods in search of stray cattle. The man apparently had been dead for a day, indicating that h had died on Christmas. He wi neatly garbed in clothes made by a San Francisco tallor. . He appeared to have been about fifty years old.
