Yesterday afternoon. Jason Morgan had Fred
Lowrie arrested for assault and battery From
what we can learn the trouble originated when
they attempted to affect settlem ent between
themselves with reference to carpenter work
performed by Lowrie for Morgan. Morgan had
contract for building a house on Freedom
street for David Lindsey. Jr and hired Lewrie
to do some OF the work. Some dissatisfaction
being expressed with the building, the matter
was left to arbitrators who decided that some
changes would have to be made Lowrie re-
fused to give up the keys until he received his
pay. and Morgan procured another set and en-
tered the house yesterday afternoon. Lowrie
| saw him and also went inside of the building.
| and when Morgan emerged therefrom it was
with a countenance much disfgured by reason
| of having come into too close contact with the
broad. hard fist of the muscular Lowrie, who
thought no doubt that it was more blessed tc
give than to receive in this case for his face
was as symmetrical as it ever was when he hac
com pleted his interview with his employer
Low.ie claims he struck in self defense
His hearing was held this afternoon befor,
Mayor Holcomb, and as tn re were but the two
witnesses-plaintif and defendant. who tolC
opposite stories-the case was dismissed.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of Gen. Benet. chief of the bureau
of ordnance. shows that the bureau ex-
pended during the last fiscal year 81, 2s9,-
900. leaving a credit in the treasury Of
50, 994, 4s4. On the subject OF smokeless
powder Gen. Benet says though some as
tonishinR results have been obtained in
experiments abroad. it cannot yet be said
with certainty that these new explosives
will eventually supersede the present
powders. The performances Of Maxim
(American) and Vetterson (Belglan) pow
ders are fairly comparable with those
claimed to be obtained abroad and 1t is
hoped that one Of these can be developed
in time to become a thoroughly sAsisiac-
tory small arms powder. With reference
to the procurement OF modern small bored
rifles for the army, Gen. Benet says the
lack Of q sufficient quantity of suitable
smokeless powder delays perfecting the
thirty calbre barrel, but It will be COM
plete BY the time suitable magazine mech
anism is selected. 1t seems peculiar that
a change in calibre is contemplated. The
present Springfield single loading system
should be replaced, If. possible, by an
equally efficient magazine system. A
board should be convened to select suita
BILE magazine mech anism after q full and

Considerable interest Is being manifested

in the game since its earliest records in 1914
70 the present time, evolving a gradual
change from the free fight of a mob 70 a
scientific, muscular competition, embody-
ing all the strategic elements OF a game at
chess.
II is only within comparatively recent
years that we Americans have taken up
this game, which is peculiarly and essen
tally English, and as usual, when we take
up a foreign product and make Of il a do
nestle article. we have improved IL ''out
of sight" The brutality has decreased.
an elaborate code OF signals and tactics has
been introduced, many OF the games are
played out on paper charts beforehand, and
the force Of the hole team 50 welded to-
gether that at their own game the repre-
sentative American football team could un-
doubtedly hold its own against any team
in the world,
The game has often been ~erroneously
stated to be an evolution OF the follis OF
the Romans, but this was only a handball
game, and no earlier record can be found
b a prohibitive decree against the play
ing OF football issued by Edward II in
1874; and a curious item Of interest today
in England is that the Free QuArrymen OF
Purbeck bold their land unde the original
grant so long As they kick a football over
it once a year. The old games were terri

Of a city. the players numbering several
thousands, while broken heads, legs and

below. Then for hours the struggle CON
tinued, the married men of the one team
striving TO force the ball to the end of the
town forming their goal, while the single
men Of the other side tried TO carry II in an
opposite direction.
Finally the ball would be forced into n
side street, and the market place would be
cleared, except Of the wounded. and some
times the dead, who were trodden down In
the fearful crush. Sometimes the ball
would remain in the market place for
hours, and the sexton always took the pre-
caution Of having his dinner in his pocket,
and sat upon the cross gravely munchinK
it and watching the game.
Such a game was played in Derby. Eng
land. in 1919, and It was due to the fact OF
20 many people being crippled for life by
the game that the various kings endeav-
ored to put IL down by law. The game
was played by mobs like these up TO 1895,
when the present limited number Of play
ens was introduced, but even now in remote
parts OF England the masses still play It,
midi 1887 a game was played at Sedgeheld,
Durham county OhAving for its goals -
pond and a spring., in which 400 persons
played. the goals being half a mile apart.
In 1855 the first "dribbllng" or "assoclR-
ton" game was played at Cambridge; In
1858 the famous BlRckheath club WAS
formed. and in 1858 tho drihbling nssocia-
ton Tor dude game as 1t is called today
by the more robust disciples OF the Rugby
game came into prominence. The Rugby
game, however. is still first favorite with
both players and public and likely to re
main so.
The chief headquarters Of the gam has
been hitherto in the east. but Michigan
has already been heard rom. and it Is no
