NEW SYSTEM AT HARVARD.
James Lathrop Will Have Charge of
the Football Candidates Physi-
cal Welfare

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 24.-The Har-
ward authorities have placed the entire
physical training of the football squad
in the hands of James LathrOp, and the
result is a complete revolution in the
method of developing the men. First
/ e proposes to get the men in firSt-claSS
condition before the first lineup, which
he says will occur next Monday, but
which may be a day or so later. The
candidates will assemble twice a day
till September 80, when college opens
and recitations will interfere with
morning work. To tougher and harden
the men Mr.. Lathrop gives the men
dumbbe11 exercise and will continue it
for some time. This morning all the
candidates were given a ten-minute
drill with four-pound dumbbellS, which
was followed with a two mile run.
Today for the first time the 40 con-
didates were given practice in falling
on the ball. The halls and full backs
punted for a quarter of an hour. In all
the men averaged half an hours work.
Head Coach Forbes was not out, owing
to a bad cold, but Josh" Crane and
Captain Cabot coached the backs in
punting.
Young Sawin, who was invited out
today, is the only freshman with the
squad He won renown as captain and
quarter back of the Cambridge Latin
school team, and Captain Cabot expects
that he may be able to fill this place for
the crimson. Harvard needs a quarter
back and if Sawin is the find that he
is expected to be it will be fortunate
for the crimson.

LATE SPORTING NEWS.
AtchisOn Ball Team Nearly
Shut Out the Blues.
Only Made One Score While
AtchisOn Got Six.
The aYellow Kid" Pitched League
BaIl-Boston and Baltimore
Today-Clevelend De-
fsats Chicago

Atchison. Sept. PAT is now known
why the Kansas City ball team is SO
low in the race. 1t was nearly shut out
at Atchison yesterday. Jones was in
the box for Atchison, and persons who
saw the contest say he pitched national
league ball. He struck out seven OF
the visitors, and had them guessing all
through the game.
They hit at Jones' high ball and they
hit at Jones' low balls, and they hit at
Jones out curves and they hit at Jones
in curves and they hit at Jones' drops,
but it was all to no purpose. They
could not find him. Brown, who caught,
says he never saw such speed in his
life. According to Manager Manning
himself Atchison outplayed Kansas
City in every stage of the game. Kan
sas City got only two safe hits off
Jones, and one of them was a scratch
hit.
Burt Gear pitched for Kansas City,
and Blanford was behind the bat.
Atchison hit Gear out for eight safe
hits, and won the game by a score of
6 to l. Atchison had two errors while
Kansas City had four. Kansas City
would not have scored had it not been
for a scratch hit. The Kansas City
Blues are strong as they have been
at any time this season, and cannot
claim that it vas not the regular Kan
Sas City team. Eylar hit a three bag
ger and Perry for two bases.

A STRANGE WOMAN
Plays an Important Part in the Luet
Ngert Case.

Chicago, Sept 24.-In the face of the
sensational clrcumstantiale evidence that
has been produced to prove that Mrs.
Louise Luetgert met death in her huS-
bands sausage factory on May 1, three
witnesses have testified that they saw
the woman alive on May and 4. one
of these witnesses talked to her and be-
lieveS from a description and photo
graph of Mrs. Luetgert that the woman
he saw was Mrs. Luetgert- This wit
ness was Matt J. Sholri, a 'barkeeper
at the Hotel Maple, kenoSha. He saw
a strange woman at the Hotel Maple on
the evening of May 8. He talked with
her nearly ten minutes. She asked to
be directed to the farm of one Mueller,
in the neighborhood, as no one seemed
to know of such a person the woman
left. The following day Sholri again
saw the woman. He described her gen
eraI appearance and her clothing and
identified a photograph of Mrs. Luet-
CERT as the woman he saw.
On cross-examination by States At
torney Deenan the witness at first
placed her weight at 130 or 40 pounds.
Then he hesitated-said he had got
mixed up-and remarked that the wo-
man weighed lis to 11S pounds, which
was about Mrs. Luetgert'S weight. This
hesitation and correction was made
much of by the prosecution, which in
timated that it Indicated that Sholri
had forgotten the weight that had been
probably told him at first.
Policeman Henry Feldshaw of Keno
sha, Wisconsin, testified that he saw a
his town on May 8. The witness said
he afterwards saw the woman at the
Hotel Maple and the following day at
the railway station. He described the
woman as a blonde and she wore a sail
or hat and slippers. One of the Slip
perS she had worn was found in the pO-
lice station after she had left. The
Witness identified the picture of Mrs.
Luetgert as closely resembling the wo-
man he saw.
William ]. Gunsten, clerk in the
Grant hotel Kenosha, identified the
photograph as the picture of woman
he saw in his hotel on May 3. He said
she came into the hotel and remained
ten minutes and left. He described the
woman and corroborated the evidence of
the other witnesses. Emma Schimpke
came to the court room in the after
noon to hear Rosa Gleich impeach her
evidence given on Wednesday. She
was fighting mad when she heard her
self made out a falsifier- Attorney
Pha1en discovered her presence in the
room and called her to the witness
stand. When asked if she had not told
Rosa Gleich she had lied on the witness
stand the witness replied: Il don't re-
member"
Did you not tell Harry Fielder you
lied when you said you saw Mr.. and
Mrs. Luetgert May 1?
Il don't remember
did you not tell Rosa GIeich you did
not see Mr.. and Mrs. Luetgert the night
of May 90
Mrs Matte Scherrer, the last witness
of the day, testified positively that En-
ma Schimpke told her that the testi-
mony the Schfmpke girl had given on
the witness stand was untrue.

RAILROAD COURT
Is Now Proposed for the Purpose of
Controlling Railroads.

Now that there appears to be some
prospect for a special session of the
legislature the PopuIist fixers and poll
ticians are busy planning the measures
which, in the interests of party sue
cess, they argue should be enacted into
law.
The railroad bill will of course be the
most important feature of a special
session of the legislature.
From what source it is emanating no
one seems able to discover but there is
a rapidly growing sentiment against
the so-called maximum rate bill. Some
other means of dealing with the ques-
tion of freight rates has been demand
ed, the idea being that a maximum
rate law would not stand the test of
the courts which the railroads would
apply at once.
The railroad attorneys today regret
that they made such a fight in the leg
islature last winter against the maxi
mum rate bill which was presented in
the house by Brown of Pratt. The dis
covery of numerous incongruities and
unconstitutional clauses in the bill

FootballGame With Washburn Of
Haakellbe to Here.

There is a small war on between the
managers of the foot ball teams of Kan
sas university and Washburn college. A
contract was signed by Manager VIII T.
Reed of the university and Acting Man
ager o. M. Irelan of Washburn college.
In it was specified that the university
team should be paid expenses and go per
cent of the gate receipts for game on
Wednesday of Fall Festival week.
When Manager Fred Leland arrived in
Topeka he refused to approve the con-
tract made by his assistant. Manager
Will Reed of the university came to To-
peka to make arrangements for the game
and he was told by Manager Leland that
Washburn would not agreeto pay 60 per
cent in addition to expenses. Reed then
land stated that he was willing to pay a
fair per cent, but would not give 60 per
cent. Reed said he was willing to stand
by the contract signed AS no agreement
could be reached the game with the state
university was called off. The Haskell
Institute Indians from Lawrence will
play game of foot ball with Washburn
at Athletic park Wednesday afternoon of
next week.

AFAMILY QUARREL.
Witness Walked 10 Feet in Three
Minutes-A Story of Eighth
Street Flats.

Yesterday afternoon in Justice Guys
court Rosa Pigg was tried for assault
and battery on the person of Rilla Gill
man Both parties live in the one-sto-
ry fiat at the corner of Eighth and
Quincy streets. Mrs. Gilman was
away from home and left her sister-in-
law, Mrs Minnie Gilman, in charge of
her children. She did not prove to be
a very good governess and when Mrs.
Gilman returned she found her S-year-
old boy fighting with Mrs. Pigg's boy
Willie. Willie was having the best OF
it so Mrs. Gilman took a hand and as
that made the number uneven, Mrs
Pigg reinforced her principle in the
fray and according to Mrs. Gilman,
slapped her boy and showed them
around in anything but a friendly way.
Mrs Pigg carried a knife and gave
warning to the combatants to be care

causes the railroads to believe that it
would have been easily killed in the
courts.
One faction of the party wants a law
placing the full power to regulate rates
in the hands of the state board of rail-
road commissioners. Other schemes
have been suggested but none of them
seem to meet with general approval
Another and still newer plan has been
hit upon and it is said that the COVER
nor will pin his faith to it,
There is said to be a draft of a bill
in the executive office which proposes
to establish a court composed of three
members, which shall have complete
and final jurisdiction over the railroad
rate controversies.
The reason why it is proposed to Gre
ate q court is to prevent injunctions
against its orders coming from the fed
eraI courts.

GIGANTI
Scheme to Secure 1000 Miles
of New Railroad for Arizona.

Phoenix. Ariz.. Sept. 24.-Wittin the
last two weeks, notices of intention to
construct 1000 miles of new railroad
have been filed with the territorial
secretary of Arizona.
There are 81 separate filings of al
most as many separate lines of new

The filings are made under a law
passed by the last legislature to the
effect that all new railway lines on
which active work should be COM
menced within one year from the pas
sage of the act, should be exempted
from all county municipal and territor-
ia1 taxation for a period of Is years.
This was known as the bill to encOur-

st. Joseph, Sept. 24-This city will prob

Base Ball association next season, as it
proved conclusively that it would not

T. J. Hickey, president of the Western
association. says there are but two
teams that made money this season, St
Joseph and Cedar Rapids, the latter clear
ing possibly $700. While the other cities
of the association lost money, the enthuS-

in the field next season. This. however,
will not be the case with St. Joseph, as
Topeka, Lincoln, Omaha, Sioux City and
