MUSIC HALL CRUSADE.
Mrs. OrmistOn Chant Leading a Re-
form Movement I'm London.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-Mrs. Ormiston Chant,
of the Vigilance Association, in a speech at
bennington to-day said in referring to the
crusade against the Empire Music Hall that
her action before the licensing committee
of the London county council had stirred
not only the heart of London, but the
whole of England. 1t was a tremendous
thing to attack the richest music hall in
London, but the Vigilance Association held
that the impurity of rich mems halls was
more deadly than that OF poor mems.
The reason that the Empire had been Sc
lected for attack was that under cover of
a most magnificent building and a most
women. The case of the association had
been more than proved, Mr.. Edwards, the
proprietor of the hall, having given notice
Of discharge of his employees, telling them
that his inability to sell drinks in the audi
forum owing to the county courts refusal
to grant him a license and the closing Of
the promenades meant ruin.

OF the first half. The Wisconsin team had
the kickoff and Purdue the west goal. The
ball was kicked to McHenry, who was
downed at the thirty-ive-yard line. After
two downs Wisconsin got the ball on a FUN
bic and was downed on the thirty-yard line.
Nelson ran around Purdue's left end for a
touchdown in five minutes, and goal was
kicked.
At the kickoff Gerber sent the ball to
Wisconsin's fifteen-yard line. where 1t was
caught by Richards, who was downed on
the twenty-yard line. The ball was forced
by short runs to the center of the field,
where it was gained by Purdue on four
downs, but lost on a tumble after two
downs at the forty-yard line. The ball was
regainei by Purdue on four downs and lost
on a tumble after the second down without
gain Wisconsin was held for four downs,
and the ball was then pushed to Wiscon-
sins twenty-five yard line. where it was
lost by Purdue on four downs. 1t was re-
gained by Purdue at their twenty-yard line.
Buschman was downed by a foul tackle at
this point. The umpire disqualified Lyman,
captain of the Wisconsin team, for slug
ging. The team refused TO play further and
the game was awarded to Purdue on a score
of 6 to q.
Much feeling was manifested by the Wis
conSin team at the decision of the umpire.
They claim that their captain was ruled
off for IN accidental rough play; that the
decisions were always against them when
they made long downs, but never were on
short ones. The captain of the Wisconsin
team urged his men TO continue, but they
were unanimous in their decision that he
had been unJuStly ruled of, and that they
would not continue the game. 1t is claimed
by the Purdue team and their friends thai
Captain Lyman was guilty Of smuggling, and
that he had been three times fore warned by
the umpire before he was disqualified. Wis
consin team claims that in refusing TO play
they did not forfeit the game, as the referee
did not call time and that they are ready
to meet the Purdue team on any ground
and with any umpire and referee that will
be impartial to either team.

luctant to do so. to engage in a protracted
conflict. The party in power recognizes the

adds. that a revolution may be followed by
prolonged anarchy.
