Fatal Quarrel Between Tive Drunken Coal
Handlers Over q Dime.

Handlers over q Dino.
Tho trustees of the Norfolk Street Synagogue
bought a supply Of coal for the church the other
day and the dealer began to deliver it yester-
day morning. On the arrival OF tho first cart
load Joseph Springer of 80 Park street and
Frank Smith of 0 Mulberry street applied for
the job of storing the coal. Both had been
drinking.
Springer got the job. but aftorward, 1t APP
pears, surrendered the work to Smith for q con-
sideration, and went or in search of more
liquor. In a little while he returned very drunk,
and, accusing Smith Of stealing his Job, punched
his face and struck him with his shovel until
Smith gave 1t up. Smith fingered in the neigh
borhood until Springer finished storing the coal
and had been paid. Then he demanded pay
Springer gave him a dime. but Smith claimed
10 cents more. Springer refused to give him
another cent, and finally started of toward
Grand street.
Smith watched him for n moment and then
ran after him and struck him a heavy blow on
log. Smith tried to run away, but was stopped
BY Isaac Guisberg. a Jeweller at 80 Norfolk
street, who had witnessed the assault.
Springer wore a derby and the force Of the
blow he received jammed 1t down over his face.
When the hat was cut from his head it was
found that he had a big cash in the top of his
head. which BLEED profuscly; An ambulance was
summoned and tho wounded man was removed
to Gouyerncur Hospital. Policeman Schleyer
of the Eldridge street station took Smith to Es-
a charge of felonious assault to await the result
Of Springcr's injuries.

FOOTBALL A M1sDEMEANoR.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. SIN view Of the temper
ottne House Of Representatives., as indicated re-
garding the anti.football bill to-day. that game
seems doomed as q diversion in this State. Rep
resentative Gallo. who introduced the measure,
had smooth sailing in its passage. though there
was considerable underground opposition, which
did not have courage enough to como to the
light The game in which young Cannon lost
his life was between two universities.
Two-thirds of the members OF the Georgia
Legislature como from the rural element. Al
most all Of the other third expect to DO Gov
ernor or Senator and court the farmers vote.
The farmer members say that the University Is
robbing them of their land scrip money, which
should go to an agricultural college. where
farmers would be made. and not lawyers or
doctors; hence they were against the university
and Its sports, and the friends OF tho university
were handicapped by their ambition for public
Office. Consequently, when the roll was called
upon the anti.football bill to-day, there were
only three votes against 1t. The three men are
now politically dead. Ninety-one men said that
football must go.
The Senate Will act as did the House and the
bill will become q law. 1t makes a nisdemeanor
