Petitioners Appeal 90 Che Mayor Aesisst
the Hotel Europe.

A number OF East Thirteenth street residents,
among whom are Prof. WilliamC c.. Rehm of 230,
the Rev. DIR. Henry T. McEwan, pastor Of the
Fourteenth street Presbyterian Church; Ruth
erford Stuyvesant, and Joseph Ellcr, presented
to Mayor Gilrpy a petition for the revocation OF
the license Of the Hotel Europe, 13s-140 East
Thirteenth street. The petition ends thus;
You may be perhaps surprised ut our appeal
ing directly TO you instead of the Excise Board
or the Police Department., but our experience In
a former crusade leads us to the belief that the
prospects of relief from that source are uncer-
tain. The alleged hotel is frcquented by demi-
monde from Fourteenth street, and their bao-
chanalian revels are a disgrace TO the neighbour
hood"
The Hotel Europe Is situated between Third
and Fourth avenues. All the petitioner live
between Second and Third avenues. Prof.
Rehm, who Is O young musician, began the cru
SADIE about n month ago. lie has been the prin-
cipsl means of obtaining signatures to the petit
tion. DIR. Parkhurst, it is said, is the adviser for
the crusaders.

that they can take away my license"
At the East Fifth street police station the
house is regarded as a reputable lodging house
for the better class OF Germans.

Harpham Killed HIMSELF In the Rooms He
Was too Poor to Keep.


George Hsrpham, "a years old, of $50 East
18th street, was found dead yesterday morning
by a woman who claims TO be his wife. The
couple had been living in the house about eight
months. Harpham has been out OF work for

the moving was postponed, and the couple went
TO spend the night with friends.
On Wednesday morning Harpham said he
was going back to the fiat to take mp the car
pets and would return during the afternoon.
He also said that he might go to see his sister,
who lives at 1897 Third avenue. The night

BosToN, Sent. 21.-The Harvard football squad
suffered to-day from a brolling hot sun. which
did It's work 30 well that more than one Of the
men left the field after the practice thoroughly
exhausted. The most important event of the
day was the appearance of Winslow, who will
try for centre. He was substitute in the posi-
tlon last year, and succeeded in keeping Lewis,
the varsity man, pretty busy most of the time.
He is not a particularly heavy man, about 100

cent physique and can stand q lot of hard work.

will have n rest Tomorrow, with only n little
light practice in the morning, but on Monday
two elevens will be made up and n regular game
will be started.
Cupt. Emmons expressed himself as unwilling
to say anything at all at present concerning the
question Of n game with Princeton this fall. He
said. however, rather. significantly that when
college opened II would be time enough 70. begin
70 talk about negotiations. The old feeling Of
bitterness toward the Tigers has pretty well
died out, and there IL little doubt that the
general body Of students would favor the idea
OF a game provided IL would not endangcr the
chances with Yale.

"CHUCK" CONSORS's rICToRF.
The New York Lad Makes a Fine showing
Before the Eureka Athletic Club.


wAsHISGToS, Sept. 21.-"Chuck Connors,
the Mark Tapley of Chinatown, New York, won
a creditable victory over Charley Holcomb, the
Washington colOred boy who has gained much
renown by beating several cracks In this city at
various times, at the Eureka Athletic Club.
Alexander Island, last night in fifteen rounds.
COnnors fought very cleverly ana won without
an opposition. A large crowd was in attendance,
and all those present were well paid for their
event OF the night. They were tame In c0mpar-
ison to the ConnOrs-HOlcGmb "gO." The twain
were apparently In good condition. COnnors
was shorter and heavier than his OppOnent, and
capable Of giving and taking an infinite amount
Of punishment. The bout was for fifteen rounds.
In the first round not a blow was struck, the
men gauging each other at long range. Up to
the NTH round hOnOrs were easy. Near the
close, though, ConnOrs set the pace and Wounded
his man at will. In the next round HOlcomb
forged ahead and did good work with left-hand-
ed body p.nches. In the tenth round COnnOrs
landed u terrific cross counter ON llOlcOmb's
head, and the dusky boxer fell through the
ropes on the edge nf the stage, breaking his left
forearm on the hard pine boards. HOlcOmD
pluckily continued. however, and no one WAS
any the wiser Of his injury. After this C0nnOTs
had matters his own way, landing good blows
on the face and body. The last round was a
hummer. and both men were pretty tired when
time was called. COnnOFs was loudly Hpplauded
when the referee announced him as the winner.
The impression was that he is a very shifty
and clever fighter.
