SAYS FAMINE is CERTAIN.
Captain Hooper Gives Facts i'm Regard To
Men in the Klondike Region.

Washington, oct 3S.-Captain Hooper,
commander Of the Bering sea patrol
fleet, who has arrived in Washington
to attend the seal conference, said that
the reports concerning the scarcity Of
food in the Rlondike region are not, in
his judgment, exaggerated.
In the neighborhood of Dawson City
there are. he said. about 5000 miners,
whose supply of provisions for the COM
ing winter is no greater than barely
sufficient for half that number during
last winter Great suffering would be
the inevitable result Of this scarcity Of
food. Although some of the more Wig
orous among the miners might attempt
to get away on the ice of the Yukon
the chances were that a considerable
number of these would perish from hun
ger and exposure. All of the passes
were practically closed some weeks ago
and many hundreds of miners are now
along the different trails with little or
no shelter and with insufficient food
supply

But few spectators were present to

persons from Evanston constituted the

Love Letters for Luetgert.

For a long time the court room eX-
perts were kept busy wondering what
made Luetgert smile as he sat dangling
his legs from the lawyers table. over
the rugged features of the big sausage
maker there played a soft, engaging
smile. as If he were in a particularly
happy frame of mind A merry twin
kle was in his eye and he chewed at the
stump of a cigar with a comical eX-
preston on his face that at last caused
his son Arnold to speak of the matter.

LII REMAINS IN JAIL.
Judge TuthiIl DisincIined to Re-
lease Luetgert on Bail.
MATTER GOES OVER FOR A TIME.

Probability That the Famous Sausage
Maker May Never BE Tried a Second
Time, Owing To the Difficulty of Securing
Jury The Prisoner Overwhelmed with
Letters from Women Who Believe Him
Innocent and Wish To BE His Wife.
Chicago, Oct. 23.-No liberty for Luet-
CERT as yet-that summed up the de-
velopments before Judge Tuthill. There
were no official proceedings, though a
motion to admit Luetgert to bail was
on for argument. Instead of formal
discussion all the attorneys in the case
talked the matter over with Judge Tut
hill in the courts chambers; then they
dispersed, Luetgert went over to Jail
and ii was announced that no endeavor
for the present would be made to secure
the sausage-maker's release.
One reason for this was Judge Tut
hills declaration that he did not want
to go into the case again. And a few
words reminding Mr.. Vincent that when
a jury stood to for guilty there was
a pretty fair presumption of guilt in the
eye of the law caused counsel to reserve
his motion for bail till a later period.
This application, however, Mr.. Vincent
said, WoulA be certainly made in few
days before some other judge. Both
Mr.. Vincent and Mr.. Phalen said Luet-
Sert was entitled to bail under the law.
This Mrs Deneen and Mr.. McEwen de-
MED was the case. The states attorney
and his first assistant opposed every
suggestion Of bail.
May Never BE Tried Again.
Speaking of the prospects of a new
trial Judge Tuthil said: Really, / do
not know, but | fancy that he Will
never be tried again in a Cook county
court. That is question which must
be decided upon when the state gets
ready to make another move. From the
wide publicity however, which the
newspapers have given the evidence in
the case the marked attention which
ii has attracted in all parts of the coun-
try and the frenzied interest which the
people of Chicago have taken In the
outcome OF the trial since the case went
to the jury, / hardly think that the
prosecution can find twelve men who
have not already tried the accused in
their own minds and either acquitted OF
convicted him. That is the problem
confronting the states attorney now,
and unless he solves it by producing the
men, of course, Luetgert will go free.
Others think that ii would be almost
as hard to get jury in any other coun-
ty, especially in any counties adjacent
to Cook. 1t is thought that there is not
a hamlet in the state where the Luet-
CERT case has not been discussed in al
it's bearings. There is not a village or
town marshal, a constable or chief oi
police who has not been looking out
for Mrs. Luetgert.

curve or twist to a bali cast after having
gained mastery over it. The knack OF Civ
ing double impulse to a ball while on
its way down the alley. a forward and
axiol one. known as 'twisters." is a per-
sonal secret with bowlers.
Speed Is one of the necessary requisites
for twisting or spinning ball: unless speed
Is given to the ball. the secondary action
or the revolving upon its axis VIII throw
the ball of its regular course. A twist is
obtained In two ways: First. simply by q
sudden and sharp inward movement of the
wrist. and second, from both the fingers
and wrist. twisted ball is probably the
most destructive Of all possible shots when
properly played.
A curve is placed upon a ball IN much
the same way as a pitcher would execute
1t. by means of the elevation or lowering
of the fingers: some acquire the trick by a
simple movement Of the wrist. Now. as to
ways Of bowling. there are the straight
ball. either side of center. the out or in
curved ball, the twisted ball. and the cross
alley ball. The cross-alley ball Is often
used in picking off single pins. or in at
tempts at difficult spares. The twister is
generally the first or strike ball. when
the player tries for all the pins The
straight. the curved. and cross-alley balls
are also frequently played a strike ball.
and with fairly good success. A ball rolled
at moderate rate of speed Is usually the
most destructive. for a high rate will often
cause 1t to cut through the pins. leaving
some standing in very difficult bridges,
while slow ball will not have force enoug h
to do good work. and is productive of very
nearly the same results.

TRIP OF THE C. A. c.
Will Play the Orange A. G. Foot Ball
Team.
INTERESTING CONTEST EXPECTED
Coming Convention of Homing
Pigeon Men.
CURRENT NOTES OF SPORT

1t is not likely that the weather will deter
the foot ball team of the Columbia Athletic
Club from taking its trip to Orange, N J.,
tomorrow. The predictions for that portion
of the country are for fair weather, with a
temperature just suited to foot ball con-
tests, and the boys on the team are too
anxious for game to be stopped by such
little thing as rain.
1t is rather expected that the Columbia
team will suffer defeat tomorrow In the
first place, the weather this week has been
such as to stop nearly all field practice,
and gymnasium work does not by any
means atoIe for this lack Of ground work
The Orange Athletic Club has one of the
strongest teams in the east this year. The
club was Tor a long time prosperous Or
ganization, but unsuccessful athletic VEN
lures plunged 1t heavily in debt and last
year it was forced to discontinue. A num-
Der of the hackers of the organization de-
termined however, to run 1t in the interest
of foot bah and base ball, and under this
arrangement the club has been in the main
successful OF course, under such an ar
rangement II is possible to pick out an
exceptionally strong team, and the one that
will meet the Columbia Athletic Club to-
morrow will be no exception to the rule
Last Saturday the team played Wharton,
Pennsylvania famous right guard, in that
position, with Smith, who made such a rec
ord with the Georgetown University team
as the other guard. Shields, the Columbia
teams well-known full back, played full in
that game and will probably play in that
position tomorrow.
The team that will go to Orange will be
good one, however. and the boys are not
going to let the game go without a strug
gle. The lineup will be as follows:
Humphreys, 40 pounds. left end; Smith,
10 pounds, left tackle: McConville, 165
pc Unds.- left guard; Burke, 210 pounds. CEN
ter; Saunders, 1870 pounds, right guard ;
Wells (captain), $50 pounds. right tackle;
Taussig, $50 pounds. right end; Parson, $50
pounds, quarter back; Singleton, 1870
pounds, left half back: Dickinson, 200
pounds, right half back; Michigan, 100
pounds, full back.
Hooker. Maupin. Exley, Curtiss and
Bright will be taken along as substitutes.
A notable change is noticed in the make
up of the team. Dickinson has been taken
from his old position in the line and placed
at half back This change was made on
account of 'Tubby's sprinting abilities
and he can do hundred yards in eleven
seconds almost at any moment-and be-
cause of the difficulty attached to the
work of stopping 2U0 pounds moving at
such rate. The team averages in weight
about III pounds, tritie below the average
weight of the Orange team.
The team will leave at Z o'clock tomor-
row morning, and the game will take place
at $50 O'Clock in the afternoon.
