Taylor Shoe Mfg Co, at Brockton, the general officers of the boot and shoe union in this city will, It was said yesterday, continue to support the position taken by the factory officials and to aid in supplying competent lasters to fill the places of the strikers. The possibility that the strike In Brockton might spread to other shoe factories in that city and throw thousands out of work, was called to the attention of Pres John F. Tobin of the boot and shoe union, He said toe hoped the strike would not be far reaching In its effect. He added, however, that the number of men involved would not Influence the officers of the organization. "The question Involved in this strike nt said Pres Tobin, "is a principle and not the number of men who are out of work.

It would be unfortunate if the great industry of Brockton were plunged into a strike, but even the complete disorganization of our forces in that city will not deter the general executive board of the boot and shoe workers' union from the position it has taJken, We lmve a contract with the E- E.

Robert W. Karnnn said: "Well now knows what we think about him. He knew what I thought about him a long time ago. He ought to know that he has passed discredit on the town, and if he will relieve the town of his presence, it will be satisfactory to the Resolutions. When they were read by Dr Sturtevant, who was greatly agitated, they were received with cheers.

The resolutions are: there has been issued through the United States mall broadcast over this commonwealth to persons of prominence, in legislative, editorial, commeroial and charitable work, a communication purporting to come from the Hyde Park board of trade and typewritten upon the letterhead of that organization and signed by V.

A motion was made that the word be removed, but tbe motion was not seconded. It was voted that the resolutions be accepted and that they be published in the Boston papers and! other papers throughout the country, and that copies be sent to those who have been known to have received ball tickets.

An unusually interesting and entertaining afternoon was furnished yesterday at the Colonial theatre through the generous efforts of William D. Andreas, for the benefit of that splendid and richly deserving charity, the Actors' home of America.

The list of stars was strong enough to appeal to every taste; ana the artistic result should be a cause for congratulation on the part of both participants and projectors. There wasn't a dull note from beginning to ending. Mrs Fiske, in the initial act of came after an excellent, orchestral overture rrom the "com. bined" theatre musicians under Wiliiam McKinley. The appetite was whetted lor the rest of the problem play, but benefit performances wait for no man, and tile currents of pitying interest were quickly changed by the breezy James J.

Morton, whose monologue proved so pleasing that he was made to return arid sing. Then came one of the bright particular gems of the afternoon, the opening of George laughable Out of College." An effective contrast was afforded by the iurnaus from "Hamlet," with Mr Sothern as the Dane, and the exacting character of the ill-starred Queen Gertrude of Denmark taken by an actress in whom Boston takes a peculiar and deserved pride, Miss Mary Hall. This third, scene was fully staged by Messrs Powell and Colfa, and was done superbly bv the stars mentioned, assisted by Messrs Crompton and Coleman as the chamberlain and the ghostly king, respectively. Rogers brothers, with their amiable and fashion of talk, discussed a purchased by one of them, and (not unlike Bilas Wegg) into with the vocal and dancing iissistance of Corinne and Miss DeVoie. The three with their spirited xylophone performances, aroused much enthusiasm.

The Elinoro sisters, with their outlandish actions, weird gestures and "sehmall created much amusement. For a surprisingly elaborate finale, Lawrence aid had been enlisted, with happy result that a bunch of 30 of the prettiest girls in the Wizard of Oz company came over from the Boston theatre as an effective bodyguard to pretty Marion Stanley, the present of that delightful extravaganza. William Walters, Max Hoffman and Charles Zimmerman directed portions of the brilliant music, and Tully Marshall was general stage manager. SIX MONTHS FOR CONBOY.

PRINCETON WINS Defeats Harvard in Football Debate. Holds Gams Is a Detriment Rather Than Benefit. Fourth Victory for the Tigers in 12 Years, Princeton was the victor in the 12t.h annual debate with Harvard, held in Sanders theatre last night, and incidentally football got a black eye, the question for discussion being, that Intercollegiate football in America is a detriment rather than a and the Tigers were on the affirmative. Gov John McLane of New Hampshire delivered the decision of the judges, and he it was their unanimous vote that Princeton had both answered and had presented facts which Harvard had failed to rebut. Last night's was fourth victory on the platform over Harvard, and these four victories have All come within the laat live years.

The New Jersey debaters presented their arguments In a straightforward, clean, skillful and convincing manner. Though they were not a.s finished In their bearing, they had a more telling way of putting things. The contest was, however, a very close one, and until the judges rendered their decision many in the audience thought Harvard was going to win.

The audience was not a very large one, but there was an enthusiastic delegation from Wellesley, another from the Emerson school of elocution, one from Radeliffe, and a number of smaller groups from schools and colleges near Boston. While the judges were deliberating the Harvard glee club sang. The order of the speakers In the opening speeches of 12 minutes was: For Princeton, K.

McEwen opened for Princeton. He said: first objection to the present game of football is that it is unserviceable to college men as a means of healthy' exercise. It should be the object of every Intercollegiate sport to offer an opportunity for oenefiolal physical development. Judged by this standard intercollegiate football falls to be a benefit to the vast majority, and is a positive detriment to the others. Less than one-tenth the colleges men today engage in the game, and to the other nine-tenths it offers no opportunity for exercise.

The reason for this small percentage of players lies in the fact that the game necessitates a special course of training if the player is to enjoy a fair degree of personal safety. This training obliges him to one-third of his entire for one-fourth of the college He G. J. Hirsch. G.

J. Hiisch opened for Harvard, said: contend that the presence of intercollegiate football in college life offers, more than any other undergraduate activity, a clean and wholesome interest for the student, giving rise to a pure atmosphere in college life that would otherwise be lacking. We contend that as a consequence of the presence of this institution there is created more than from any other cause a wholesome outlet for the surplus energy of the student; that it has completely solved tljat problem which has harassed faculties since American colleges began. the second place, we contend that this intercollegiate game develops individual it teaches a man to undertake great things and carry them through to success. Our third contention is perhaps the greatest of all.

It Is that intercollegiate football fosters and develops in a man a spirit of loyalty for an ideal, his college, which is one of the greatest forces in the. upbuilding of manly P. McClanahan. McClanahan continued for the affirmative. he said, to so violent a game, causes physical exhaustion and does lasting injury to circulation, digestion and nutrition.

Muscle gained at the sacrifice of the vital organs is worse than useless. Then fatalities are a part of the price paid for the sport. In spite of precautionary training numerous and serious accidents have, resulted. Statistics show that at Harvard, Columbia and Princeton one-quarter of the players are injured, more or less permanently. present game and training is detrimental to the player's mental activity.

is of vital importance. A Harvard publication says that men during the season do next to nothing in their studies, Pres Eliot says that the distractions of the game grow greater every year and a prominent member of this Harvard team says that for the past two years university football has played havoc with his studies. Twenty-one colleges in Iowa and Illinois have passed a resolution to the effect that American football as now played is not suitable for educational institutions.

T. S. Clark concluded the argument for Princeton. have the immoderate desire to win demands success at the sacrifice of honor and fair play. There is a distinct tendency today toward unfair and brutal playing, and this unfits football for a place among college spohts.

Unfair methods are profitable toward victory, and there Is every incentive to their use. So strong are the temptations and so inadequate the punishments that brutal instincts are aroused in a man not morally vicious. la not this effect positively W. M. Shohl.

W. M. Shohl closed the main argument of the negative. "Intercollegiate football he said, great develop, er of character, in that it encourages and fosters in a man an intense loyalty to an ideal, his college. He works hard day for a period of two months.

He is working for his deal, the honor of his college and in that struggle he forgets himself and his selflsh interests. What would be a better developer of character than this? We are all acquainted with the man, who with selflsh interest in his own affairs works on and cares for nothing, his college included, except his pencil and ruler, and books. Such men are well trained intellectually, but they possess but tvrn dimensions. They have not learned how to tackle the world in the football spirit and flght for the honor of their Ideal.
