Upheaval.
R. I. H. S. gridiron warriors may
no longer criticise the coach or man
ager under penalty of being summarily
ousted from the squad. This is the
latest ruling of the board of control
at the local institution. The student
members of the board, some of them
members of the team, have been
barred from that organization, and
hereafter the faculty will hold full
sway.
With the student voice eliminated
from the running, the board of con
trol went into session yesterday and
adopted as a slogan: "Eliminate the
Knockers." The recent football strike
rumor, which was given publicity Jn
local papers, is alleged to have caused
an upheaval in the high school, and
a probe is to be instituted, with an
idea of discovering the source from
which the story emanated.
It is alleged that the board has found
certain members of the football squad
guilty of circulating the rumor and

This photograph, which is the most, remarkable marine picture ever made, stands alone In a class by itselt
It shows a condition at sea never before pictured by the camera. That the crew of the sinking vessel over
escaped at all is as remarkable as Lie picture itself. The suction by a vessel of such size as was the four
masted schooner "Marjery Brown" must have been indescriable, and the photograph gives but little idea of
it force, as the life-boat (arrow) escaped from Us suction and found itselfon the very rim of the vortex, from
which perilous position the men were rescued byvthe North German Lloyd S. S. Berlin, bound for New York.'
It was 200 miles outside of Sandy Hook.that an 80-mile gale hit the "Margery Brown," and 6 hours lat.er Cap
tain Joseph Walker and his crew offive abandoned the vessel.
stringent measures are to be adopted
to remedy athletic conditions.
MIST WHAR "GAGS."
Only the faculty members of the
board. E. F. Burch. A. G. Hill and
T. B. Myers are conducting the investi
gation. The first real move made by
the triumvirate was to announce that
all knockers would be ousted from
the team. Another session was sched
uled for this afternoon.
In the past various candidates for
the -football team have made charges
that Coach Corneal had used favorit
ism and partiality in making his
choice of men who would comprise
the squad. Last year there was a
great deal of grumbling among the
football men on this score, and the
faculty has evidently decided to curb
the freedom of speech which has hith
erto prevailed.
The board has also announced that
the names of students eligible to play
will be printed by the local papers,
after said list has been authorized by
the 'board itself.

JAP STATESMAN
CALLS US HAUGHTY
Count Okuma.
Tokio, Japan, Oct. 25. That the
United States government is haughty
and eccentric and its people some
times tempestuous is the opinion of
Count Okuma, former Japanese for
eign minister and one of the foremost
statesmen of Japan.
Referring to the American-Japanese
controversy. Count Okuma declared
that the problem was a vast one
that its solution depended upon pati
ence and endurance as well as diplo
matic tact. The United States, he
said, would remain a difficult problem,
1 not only to japan, but to the whole of
Europe.
"Great Britain has been time and
again annoyed by the haughty and
behaves herself," he said. "The arbi-j
tration and-Panama tolls problems
are the latest illustrations. I
! "What makes the matter more trou-i
iblesome is the tempestuous and irasci-i
ble mood of the American people.
On moment they rise and rage like
madmen and in the next drop to nonchalance."
