”The Austin Dam and Its Present

address to be dellvered tonight at the
Scottish Rite cathedral by Dean T. U.
Taylor of the University engineering
department. This is to be one of a
series of public addresses on topics of

under the auspices of the Scottish
Rite bodies. Dean Taylor was at first
expected to talk on highways, but he
later announced a change of subject,
owing to the immediate timeliness of

The bi-annual Far Fastern Olympic
games held in Toklo, Japan, last week,
proved unusually successful. The en-
try list was larger than in any pre
vious meet and the competition closer.
Although the Japanese athletes emerged
victors, they were forced to ehoy bet-
ter performances than heretofore. Close
to 400 athletes took part in the week’s
games, of which nearly 50 per cent
came from China and the Philippines.
Track and field sports, baseba)l, tennis,
bicycle races, wrestling and other con-
tests formed the program of competi-
tion in which Japan collected a total
of 120 points; Phiillpines 80, and China
48.

the feast of Passover. On and after
the second day of Passover which was
on Sunday. April 8, this year, a spe-
cial benediction and a varying for-
mula were inserted into each evening
prayer, so as to count the passing days.
This ceremony is called "1 he Counting
of the Omer,” because during the ex-
istence of_the temple at Jerusalem the
counting of these days began with the
bringing of the first sheaf (in Hebrew
‘Omer’) of the barley harvest, to the
temple, as a ’wave-offering." When
the count reaches forty-nine days i. e.,
a "week" of weeks, the .Feast of ha-
bouth (Weeks) or Pentecost (the
Greek for "fiftieth day”) is celebrated.
The feast of Weeks is one of the
three Pilgrimage Festivals. In ancient
times, men would come from all over
the land of Canaan on a' pilgrimage to
the Temple at Jerusalem. Since thi*
feast marked the end of the grain har-
vests. and the beginning of the fruit
harvest, the pilgrims began to bring
the first ripe fruits of their fields as
a gift to the priests at the Temple.
In modern times there are special holi-
day services; the synagogues are
usually decorated with plants and
flowers as a reminiscenee of the an-
cient agricultural nature of the feaet.
In the morning service the Book of
Ruth is read to the congregation. This
book is particularly well chosen for
this occasion because of its harvest
scenes, and perhaps also because Ruth
wm a convert to Judiasm rejecting her
Moabite gods and accepting the wor-
ship of the God of Israel; and this
day is oonsidered to be the anniver-
sary of the day when the law was
given dn Mount Riant and Israel ac-
cepted God and his Iaw. "Shabouth",
therefore besides being the Feast of
-Harvest Weeks is also designated as
the "Time of the Giving of Our Iaw."
Since this feast is the anniversary
of the giving of the Law on Mt. Siani,
reform congregations in America have
appropriately chosen it aa the day for
confirmation. On the anniversary of
the day on which Israel accepted the
law of God. the young men and wom-
en of Israel accept the faith and af-
firm their loyalty to the religion of
their fathers.
Shabouth services will be held at
Congregation Heth Israel, corner of
Eleventh and San Jacinto Street*, on
Saturday night at 8 o’clock, and Sun-
day morning at 9:30, when the con-
firmation exercises will take place.
The members and friends of the con-
gregation are asked to notice that the
morning service on Sunday will begin
at 9:30 sharp, and not as usual at 10
o’clock, owing to the necessary length
of the service because of the confirma-
tion exercises.

WASHINGTON, Muy 25.—Conferees
on the esp’onage bill have drawn a
so-called modified newspaper censor-
ship section which will be brought be-
fore Congress with the influence of the
administration for inclusion in the
pending bill. It must be accepted by
both Houses to become part of the
bill.
The wording of the new section con-
fines prohibited publication exclusive-
ly to military information and retains
the provisions that a jury shall decide
whether published information ia use-
ful to the enemy. It ia considered a
much more liberal section than others
previously proposed by the administra-
tion.
The conferees also agreed on the
Senate to empower the President to de-
clare export embargies. It is designed
to prevent shipments of supplie* to
Germany through neutral*. The agree-
ment* will be formally presented to-
morrow.
The text of the censorship section as
now presented to Congress follows:
fWhen the United States I* at war
the publishing wilfully of Information
with respect to the movements, num-
ber*, equipment, description or dispo-
sition of any of the armed forces of
the United States in naval or military
operations or with respect to any of
the works Intended for the fortification
or defense of any place, which infor-
mation is or may be useful to the ene-
my, is hereby prohibited, and the Pres-
ident may from time to time by procla-
mation declare th* character of such
above described information which is
or may be useful to the enemy, and in
any prosecution hereunder the jury
trying the case, shall determine not
only whether the defendant did wilful-
ly publish such information as set out
in the indictment, but also whether
such information was of such charac-
ter as was or might have been useful
tn the enemy, provided that nothing in
this section shall be construed to lim-
it or restrict any discussion, comment
or criticism of the acts or policies
of the Government or Its representa-
tives or publiation of the same.
"Whoever violates this section, shall
upon conviction thereof, be punished
by a fine of not more than $10,000 or
by imprisonment for not more than five
year®, or both.”
The new section was prepared by
Chairman Webb of the House judiciary
committee.
Hope prevailed among supporters of
censorship that most of the Democrats
and some Republicans, despite the fact
that House Republicans in conference
have voted against all forms of cen-
sorship, would support the new sec-
tion.
The new section is the result of
President Wilson’s personal Insistence
on some sort of a censorship section
in the espionage bill.

NEW YORK, May 25.—No belter il-
lustration of the effect of the war upon
college athletics can be cited than is
contained in the announcement that
the intercollegiate track and field
championships, even in the form of
patriotic games, have been abandoned.
Not since the initial meet in 1874 has
there been a break in these national
titular contest*. -Now after a period
of forty-one years, the season of 1917
will be blank in the records and his-
tory of the Intercollegiate Association
of Amateur A thietes of America.
No other form of college athletics
or sports has ever had such a broad
and continuous record in its own par-
ticular field of activity in thts country.
For this reason, if no other, the de-
votee of track and field competition
has been hoping against hope that the
games would be continued, even though
in a curtailed manner, for the present
season at least.
In order to appreciate the record
of consistency of the I. C. A. A. A A.
it is necessary to go back to July 21,
1874, when the first championship
meet of the association was held at
Saratoga, N. Y., with Yale, Princeton.
Pennsylvania, Bowdoin, Dartmouth.
Columbia, Williams and City College
of New York among the competing in-
stitutions. Since that date forty-one
meets have been held without a break
at various points in the East, includ-
ing New York, Philadelphia and Cam-
bridge.
During this period thirty-seven col-
leges 'or universities have been repre-
sented by athletes who have won at
least one place or point. The list in-
cludes almost every institution of the
ast, Michigan of the Middle .West,
and California and Stanford of the Pa-
cific Coast.
While It I® impossible to state with
accuracy the number of athletes who
have striven for track and field hon-
ors In those meets, it is estimated that
the total would run into many thou-
sands. In championshps won Har-
vard leads with thirteen; Yale is sec-
ond with nine: Pennsylvania third with
eight; Cornell fourth with seven; Co-
lumbia fifth with three, and Princeton
last with one, the Tigers taking the
first meet in 1876.
CHICAGO, May 25.—Several alder-
men, a number of city and county em-
ployes and several judges, it is sald,
were arrested early today in a raid
by detectives on the headquarters of
the Fourth Ward Democratic Club on
the Routh Ride. About 400 men were
taken in the raid, which was ordered
on information that a "prize fight” was
being conducted at the club contrary
to law.
The spectators and fighters were
surprised during a hard exchange of
blows in the ring. Nearly all the pa-
trol wagon* on the South Ride of the
city wera required to get the prisonera
to jail, where most of them gave
bond* *nd wer* promptly released.

A number of the college athletic as
sociation are puzzled over the varsity
letter problem this season. In many
cases members of teams are to be
. graduated With little or no opportunity
1 to win a letter this spring, alhough
certain to have won a place upon the
team had intercollegiate sports been
staged na usual. In several instances
class or minor insignia have been
awarded. In other rase* there is a plan
suggested to award the varsity letter
t • men who would have been reason-
ably sure of making the team, espe-
cially if they left college to enlist in
any of the various army or navy corps
