Yale-PrincetOn Game.
Gives Orders Not to Allow Prize
Fighting Methods.

Only One Kind Of Beating to
be Allowed.

New YORK. oct. 30.-Police Superin-
tendent Byrnes announced today that no
exhibition of brutality viii be permitted
at the Yale Princeton football game al
Manhattan field Tomorrow
Dir Byrnes instructed Inspector Col
Inns to stop the game if it proved to be
anything but a purely scientific contest
The superintendent said he would not
allow the players to act like lot of prize
fighters and publicly MAIN each other
for life. The game will be stopped at
the first exhibition Of brutality.
The mem bers of the football team viii
get no official notification from the su-
perinteadent Of his intention. The
superintendent argues that il the players
are brutal. they are law breakers. and
therefore amenable to arrest. If action
is taken by the police and resistance is
offered, the enthusiasts at Manhattan field
may witness some wholesale arrests.
A police official who said that he ex
pressed only as a citizen, said 1t was his
belief that there was not the slightest
chance Of the game being interrupted
and the superintendent was making
grand stand play"

and asked that the body be turned over
To De Moss & Penwel r. Frlesen,
who had charge of the body for Mr.
Knight, refused to turn the body over uu-
til the charges for embalming Of 500

order from the coroner, who also stated
that Contractor George ". Evans would

WAR BETWEEN WOMEN.

The Living Pictures'' Defend Themselves
Against Attack OF the IteforIners.
New YORK, Nov. 3O-The fight
against living pictures being waged by
some Of the members Of the VT. c. IT. K.
has developed into a war between
women. 1t Is not at all unlikely that
the living pictures viii organize and
oppose the onslaught of the w. c. T. u.
A spontaneous move was made in this
direction when the girls employed at
the garden theatre met The result of
it was that the following letter was sent
to Mrs Grannis:
~DEAK MADAME: AS working women
of the stage. employed as models IN the
kllanyi living pictures. we thank you
warmly for your womanly and sensible
opposition to the lanatical crusade
against animate art suggested by Lady
Somerset 1t IS undoubtedly true as you
remark, that there are no unchaste living
pictures exhibited in New Ork certainly
half so shocking as those to be seen dis
played in the boxes of the Metropolitan
opera house. Your position in this mat
ter is a credit alike to your heart, brain
and Christian spirit. Gratefully yours.

were interviewed ia reference to the
matter Said Nellie Sinclair:
II have no desire TO criticise the action
of the ladies Of the w. O. T. U., but |
cannot refrain from remarking that their
efforts to take the bread and butter out
of our mouths is not what would be ex-
pected from women of their class. There
IS no uggestiveness or indecency in the
parts we play
do you think / would take part in
anything rejecting on my moral charac-
ter" asked Pauline Bradley. Il claim
that the human figure motionless as it is
displayed in the picture Is no more sug-
gestive than marble statue.
Alma Eggert and Ella Caab do not
speak English. They are Germans and
have appeared with kilanyi in Europe.
Through an interpreter they said that
in Europe no word Of condemnation was
uttered or heard against the living pic
lures in which they had appeared and
they were surprised to learn of the con
templated crusade. The pictures. too,
have been modified since being brought
to this country.
~D0n't care" May Hamilton said, s'but
I think it is real mean to start an agitA-
ton against u.s. If marble statuary were
used instead Of human figures. there
would be no criticism"
Yes" interposed Nellie Burdwin, IF
the realism was not produced there
would be no talk. Still we take many
precautions to guard against indecency or
anything that smacks of it,"
Nellie LOOmis and Nellie Williams
had quite another kind Of argument to
offer, and original too. The fact is,

But of set purpose, the Democratic
