Caspari. formerly a teacher in the Western Female High School, began her work as a convict about 8 o'clock yesterday morning stitching buttonholes and fitting the uppers of shoes in the Penitentiary. When evening came she had learned the kind of life she will lead while serving out her five years' sentence for obtaining money by means of false pretenses. 4 Miss Caspari rose promptly at the ring of the first bell at 6.45 o'clock. Warden Weyler said he was Informed she had had a good night's rest in her dreary but comparatively comfortable cell, which is No.

Warden Weyler said that when he visited the department abon 9 o'clock In the morning she was hard at work and repeated the request that he be sure and let her, know when any money came for her, so that she can see to it that It Is properly distributed.

OFFERS TO IEPAY THE FINES Has A Conference With Freshman And Sophomore Class Presidents, Bnt Gets Little Comfort. Students of the freshman class of the Maryland University School of Medicipe, Lombard and Greene streets, manifest' a decided unwillingness to accept the overture! of Henry TSchurman, the student whose mustache was clipped last Saturday in the dissecting room of the school and who has requested to be reinstated In the class organization.

He has also offered to refund the fines imposed on the four students by the magistrate. Schurman is anxious to resume his studies in the school and invited President Scott, of the freshman class, and President Jefferson, of the sophomore class, to visit him at his home, 662 West Saratoga street. Both young men accepted the invitation. Schurman related to them all the circumstances leading up to the clipping of his mustache with a pair of scissors used in the dissecting room and explained that he would willingly have borne any other form of aazing. In his irritation, he said, he called upon Dr.

R. Dorsey Coale, the dean of the faculty, and asked for his advice. The dean told him to have Guy P. Asper, the student who had clipped his mustache, arrested. He indicated his Intention of returning to school on Monday and offered to make any compromise which would tend to allay the hostility to him.

Schurman said the twopresidents met this proposition with the interrogation If he meant to come armed. He said that as he was going Into a school and not a dive he did not consider yiat it would Be necessary for him to be armed when he returned. Presidents Scott and Jefferson left him without making any promises except that they would submit the proposition to the students. What May Happen To Schurman. Scott, of the freshman class, declared with emphasis yesterday that Schurman would -never again become a member of the class of 1904.

He said he would -not dare to broach the subject to the members of the class for fear It might result in his getting a good drubbing. He argued that Schurman ought to have appealed to him before taking the matter into a police court. He explained that the only way in which Schurman's request for reinstatement as a member of the class organization could come up for action would be In response to a petition to that effect signed by two-thirds of the members of the class. "As to what action may be taken by the students if Schurman attempts to resume his studies at the school," said Scott, "I cannot say definitely at this time. It might happen that on the very first day he would be beaten by one of the students, or it might be that he would be left severely alone until the close of the session; or it is even possible that he may not be molested until next fall, but it Is highly probable that the students will resist his coming among them again." Dean Coale's Statement.

Dr. R. Dorsey Coale, dean of the faculty of the school, was asked last night regarding Scott's threats against Schurman. "I am rather surprised at Scott," said Dr. Coale, "because I have heretofore considered him to be a young man of sense.

For that reason I was particularly pleased when he was made president of the class. He Is, however, talking at random in using such language. Scott and the other students know that on last Tuesday I told them in forcible language that I disapproved strongly of what they had done. He did not make any effort, nor did any of the others, for that matter, to justify the hazing of Schurman. "Schurman, as far as I have been able to learn, has always been a quiet, unobtrusive man.

He has been neither friendly nor unfriendly with the students, I am told, but pursued, the even tenor of his way. I can assure you that If he cares to return to school that he will be permitted to pursue his studies unmolested by any of the students. I have been told that If Schurman returns some of the students may leave the school, but that is a matter for them to decide. When they determined to take their courses at the. Maryland University they evidently did It after mature reflection, and It Is but reasonable to suppose that they will exercise the same judgment as continuing students at the school.

"If Schurman returns and Is molested In any way the students responsible for It will hear from me In a way that will admit of no misconstruction. The present incident is, I feel, about dead, and I do not think it will be considered by the faculty. It is possible, however, that the faculty at its March meeting may consider In a general way the practice of hazing at the school." DECLARES HAZING COWARDLY "Risht" Appeals (To Faculty And Stndents For Reparation. Messrs. Editors: Kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words in reference to the article" in your issue of February 20 dealing with the outrage committed upon a citizen student of the University of Maryland also a few words about the affair itself.

Your article Is timely and to the point, and should receive the indorsement of every liberty-loving and law-respecting citizen of the old Monumental City. Under the title of hazing, which in the present instance is used to hide a brutal outrage, an assault is committed by a few students of our university and their action Is upheld by many. A respectable and reputable citizen, a man of family, a bona-fide householder, is made the victim. A worthy and industrious man, desirous of earning a place in the world of usefulness, is set upon by those who should have been friends and his liberties interfered with, just because he does not choose to fojlow their dictation. The act was a cowardly one, because force was used, the strong overpowering the weak.

No penalty which can be inflicted, either by fine or expulsion, would be too severe a punishment for the guilty. A most deplorable feature of the affair Is the desertion of a fellow-student by his classmates, simplybecause his action in seeking legal redress was a breach of college ethics. It is to be hoped that the affair may be amicably-settled and the student allowed to continue his studies without further molestation. We do not doubt but ag soon as the excitement abates the good sense and better judgment usually found among students will prevail and both faculty and students will unite to make wrong right. For the sake of our schools, for the sake of their world-wide fame, let faculty, student, lawmaker and law executive unite and say there shall be no more such outrages committed in any of our institutions of learning.

Bight. Baltimore, February 20. IS A NEW DEAL ON Reports Of Combination Between Seaboard And The Southern. An Associated Press dispatch from New York last night quotes the Commercial Advertiser as saying: WSince the purchase by President John Skelton Williams, of the Seaboard Air Line, of Thomas F. Ryan's stock holdings in subsidiary roads in that system the reports of a combination between the Southern Railway Company and the Seaboard have been revived.

It is the general belief in Wall street that a friendly arrangement, equivalent to a traffic alliance, has been entered into by the respective managements of these two properties. "Unusual activity. and strength marked the course of the Southern Railway shares in the Stock Exchange today. The price of the common advanced 24,. and the price of the preferred stock advanced 2.

Officers of the Southern said that there was no statement regarding that company to be made at present. i "When President Williams, of the Seaboard Air Line, was asked whether his company and the Southern would enter Into any agreement he hesitated a few keconds and then replied: 'I don't care V.l 1 1 A.1 Ci lu any tut Liiiiii uiuxc iubu Liifi tue oea-board will remain an independent "The directors of the Seaboard Air Line are expected to meet in this city next Wednesday and something may then be done relative to the future policy of the company. The main object, of the meeting is to ratify the purchase of Thomas F. Ryan's stock." Favor Bible In Schools. Virtue and Union Councils, Daughters of America, and Maryland Council, Junior Order of American Mechanics, have adopted resolutions In favor of retaining the' Bible In the public schools.

Maryland Democratic Association Cheers His; Name. LIVELY TALK AT A BANQUET Ex-Senator Townf, Congressman Lenti, Congressman Jones (Ta.) And Mayor Hayes Among Speakers. Sterling Democrats from all over the State, with a few guests of national reputation, gathered last night in the big dining room at the Eutaw House to enjoy the banquet given by the1 Maryland Democratic Association in ostensible celebration of the birth of Washington. It was In reality a gathering of the loyal supporters of William J. Bryan, and there was not present a man who did not vote to make him President in November last.

The name of Bryan was cheered and his picture was upon the badges of the committee. Eloquent and stirring speeches were made and pa'trlotic sentiments expressed -that-aroused great enthusiasm. Prior to the banquet a reception was held in the' parlors of the hotel, and it was after 8 o'clock when the guests sat down to the feast. The toastmaster, Dr. Wirt A.

Duvall, introduced ex-Senator Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota, who responded the sentiment a soldier whose sword was drawn only in the cause of liberty; a citizen whose country was more than party." Mr. Towne was warmly received. He referred to Washington as the greatest of men and said never since his death has the Republic which he founded needed, more sorely his wisdom and strength. He spoke of the degeneracy of American statesmanship and of the abiding belief of Washington in which many statesmen are now lightly passing over.

He eloquently argued against the departures that have been made from the principles upon which the Republic was founded, and spoke of the tyrannies and evils that are bound to follow. He did not know, he said, what the Su-y preme Court of the United States would say In regard to the Constitution, but as the Government and the court itself were created by the Constitution, therefore they could not be greater than the Constitution. The law of liberty and right is greater even than the decrees of the Su preme Court, and even if the court says-: we have the right to. be tyrants it Is not our duty to become such. The only serious danger this country has to face, he said, is suicide.

In speaking of the trusts he said: "A new billion-dollar monster has- recently reared Its hideous head, prophetic of the time when the mere millionaire shall rank as a pauper." Mr. Towne closed with an appeal to Democrats to save, the nation by making the American people realize the awful crimes being committed In the name of the Government In the slaughter of the Filipinos. Letter From Their Leader. Secretary Frank Drlscoll read the following letter from Mr. Bryan: Mr.

8. S. Field, Baltimore, My Dear Mr. Field Your kind favor at hand. I regret exceedingly that I cannot be present on the 21st instant, but it is not convenient to leave home atthis time.

I remember with much pleasure my visit of a year ago and am gratified to know that the Maryland Democratic Association is still earnestly working for the advancement of Democratic principles. Wishing your meeting success, am, Very truly yours, W. J. Bryan. Fntnre Of Democracy.

Congressman Lentz, of Ohio, aroused great enthusiasm. His theme was "The Future of Democracy." In speaking of the last campaign he said: "When the smoke of battle had cleared away it was apparent to every student of civil government that Democracy had been defeated because of an unholy alliance between a callous commercialism and a barbarous lust for world power. Impoverished voters had been corrupted by bribery, and ignorant voters had been confounded by falsehood. Our Government, founded upon the equality of Jefferson, strengthened by the honesty of Jackson and purified by the liberty of Lincoln, was at last dominated by venality and cupidity. The house that Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln had built was at last appropriated to store the stolen goods of trust and tariff thievery.

"In the last campaign brains burdened with brutal bigotry, hearts hardened with hellish hate, pockets plethoric with public plunder, souls saturated with stupid superstition, all conspired to dethrone reason and right, to enthrone greed and might, to dishonor and destroy the Republic, and to evolve and establish an empire. "If there is to be a future of Democracy It can come only through the organization dominated by those Democrats who believe something and not by those would-be re-organizers who merely want something." Mr. Lentz urged that the future prayer of the Democracy be to secure for labor the right to work and advocated the construction of a governmental postal, telegraph and telephone system. He urged the people to demand Its construction for their own. use and suggested Baltimore as the starting point.

Says War Is A Degradation. Congressman Jones, of Virginia, responded to the toast "The State that gave us Washington." He reviewed the history of Virginia and said that he felt that be was not boasting too much in saying that Virginia contributed more to the glory of this country than has any of her sister States. "The greatest of warriors," he continued, "the greatest of statesmen, the greatest of orators were produced on Virginia soil. Great applause. And I say had we such statesmen at the present day we might have been spared the degradation of the war we are now waging.

"In conclusion I want to say that if liberty ever perishes from off the earth, the sons of the patriots who roeked Its cradle will not participate in Its obsequies." Great applause. Xo Reorganization For Him. In introducing Mayor Hayes the next speaker, Toastmaster Duvall said he was proud to be able to point to him as one of the most honest of politicians. Iayor Hayes began by paying a high tribute to Mr. Towne, whose name he pronounced as though it were spelled "Tune," which caused considerable merriment.

He then dwelt on the regeneration of the Democratic party, saying it must consist In the adherence to the teachings of Jefferson. "I do not believe in this he continued, "for I put my faith in the fellows who have already proved their loyalty." Cheers and applause. Tlieir Place In Tbe Fight: Mr. S. S.

Field spoke on the Maryland Democratic Association. He said in part: "Our association was formed in the fall of 1898 to uphold the principles of the Chicago platform and labor for their reaffirmation In 1900, and we' have been gratified by seeing that platform reaffirmed by the unanimous vote of the National Convention of 1000. And when I say that onr association now stands for the "Kansas City platform, for which every delegate from every State voted, who will say that we are not truly Democratic? "But there are many principles embraced in that platform and our association asks the privilege of standing especially for those principles which some of our fellow-Democrats desire to ignore. In that future of Democracy about which we have heard tonight, when the lines of battle are drawn between the people and the we would like to fight dn the line just opposite the Money Trust. We would like to be put to defend old Hard-Money Hill, where Jefferson planted the flag of Democracy 100 years ago; where Jackson defended It against all the mercenaries of the money power, and where today the flag still proudly flies in the.

G. Merceron. C. C. Are Not Now Eligible Members Of Players' Union.

NATIONAL LEAGUE'S APATHY Jlay Try Throngh The Courts To En-join Its Men From Flaring With American Leagne Clubs. Messrs. Wilbert Robinson" and John J. McGraw last night mailed their resignations as members of the Baseball PlayeBs Protective Association to President Charles Zimmer, of that union. The letter explains that the resignations ere tendered bt-cause by the rales of the players body owners are not eligible to membership, and they are owners in holding stock of, the Baltimore Baseball Club.

5'he letter concludes: "Onr sympathies and support will always be with the players." Mr. McGraw said he wanted to place himself and partner in a proper light, and he believed the letter would show this. He was ready to start on his journey to Hot Sprinss and said he would be accompanied by Chief William C. McAfee, of the Baltimore Fire Department. Chief McAfee is taking his vacation.

When McGraw reaches Hot Springs he will utilize his idle hours by perfecting the playing rules to govern the American League. lie is chairman of the rules committee, and says he has received many sage suggestions from Connie Mack and Charles Comiskey, who are members of the committee. There will be some radical changes In the rules, but he would not be able to state what they would be until the committee reported its work to the league. When asked' what other business be would consider while away, he I've got to make a living during the winter months, and may get In touch with Mrs. Carrie Nation.

If I do I will engage her as leading lady in a theatrical company and tour "Ten Nights In Barroom." McGraw repeated tha he was going away for rest. President Ban B. Johnson, of the American League, spent most of the day at his hotel. He was out last night ready, he said, to go as far as Washington with McGraw. He said he- transacted no business of importance in Baltimore, and has none left here to transact.

President Sydney S. Frank, of the Baltimore Baseball and Athletic Company, was present. As both were surfeited with baseball talk tfiey went upon the Diamond alleys to roll tenpins. The league president beat the local president by a score of 111 to 73. Others talked baseball.

One man who had played the game and was posted said: 'The questions of the hour are: What means the apparent indifference and nonaction of the National League owners who have so much at stake? "Why have they shown such utter Indifference to their four-flush American Association; and if they have a trump card to play what will It be?" "In answer to these questions It Is suggested that the National Leagne was firmly convinced that nearly all of the clubs contracts with players were binding In law. and the National League club owners were so thoroughly convinced of this that they were laughing In their sleeves at the people who were spending money in the building and equipping of the American League. I believe that the National League club owners will wait until the American League clnbs begin their season and then they will play their trump card by getting Injunctions from the courts restraining any players who have contracted with them under the reserve clause from playing with the American League teams." Manager McGraw said the American League owners were not worried on this score, as they had fortified themselves with legal advice on all such matters. x- Manager William J. Clarke, of the- Baltimore American Association Club, was visited and asked his opinion on the questions.

He said: "I have had lots of correspondence with cwners of National League clubs, especially about their apparent lethargy. I-am no wiser today than I was when the season closed last year. "I believe the National League owners Intend to lie down, saw wood and let the American League begin to play ball and then get out injunctions restraining National Leagne players from playing on American Leagne clubs. "I am not sure that any of the National -League players other than the few who are financially interested in the American League clubs will desert the National. If any do, then I think the National League owners wiil resort to the courts to restrain them." Manager Clarke had not heard the official replies to the questions as above given, hut h'-i Idea of the action of the National League owners was exactly In accordance with that given above.

Akron, Ohio Feb. 21. Governor Nash has interposed executive objection to the match between Gibbs, of Cleveland, and Nlckens, of this city, Monday night, judge Kohler today received instructions from the Governou to call the attention of the Sheriff to the proposed match, and to warn that officer of the law that his full duty would be expected. The Governor In a letter says: "The contest must not be allowed to take place." The match will formally be declared off tomorrow. Springfield, Ohio, Feb.

21. Replying to a question from the editor of a Springfield paper as to what he considers a prizefight to be in the meaning of the Ohio statute Governor Nash says "In my opinion the only sort of a contest made legal by the permit of the Mayor under Section 6S90 Is one consisting of exercises or any exhibition by the members of a regularly organized athletic club In Its clubhouse. It does not authorize the bringing In of people who are not bona fide members of the club, and whether the exhibition is by members of the club or outsiders the moment that a prize is offered to the winner It becomes a prizefight." O'Neill Still After Gans. Otto Kiefer, manager of the colored welterweight boxer Frank O'Neill, Is in Baltimore considerably disturbed because he cannot get a Baatch for O'Neill against Joseph Gans at 138 pounds. He says Manager Herford promised- to give O'Neill a match with two men in preliminaries, but that his boxer refuses anything but a main bout.

Kiefer Insists that his man is entitled to sach a contest, as he whipped "Bobby" Dobbs in 19 rounds, and Dobbs once got a decision from Gans. He Is willing to make a match with Gans at 138 pounds, the winner to take all the money. Patrick Sweeney, of Boston, may not keep his engagement on March 11 to box Eddie Connelly at Hartford, and Kiefer is dickering to have O'Neill take Sweeney's place. Jeffries Mar Sever Fight Again.
