CORNELL SPORTING NOTES.
Foot Ball Team Ready for ,he Quakers- Ore OF
Two Races. Next Spring?

Ithaca, n. Y, Nov. 1s.-Cornelrs
discussion, today, relative to the work OF
the next 10 days in preparing the Varsity
foot ball team for its final game of the
season. Both are feeling highly encour-
aged over the prospects. The showing in
proved that the cripplee are fast improv-
ing and Left Guard Reed is again in con-
dition to play an aggressive game.
The team as a whole has regained its
snap and the men are pulling together
once more. 1t is proposed to make fur
ther changes behind the line. Perkins
will undoubtedly be kept at fullback, but
hehehuJf fo he tried ant at reh l hi Captan
Whiting will not be in shape to line up.
this week, but it is expected he~wiii play
at Philadelphia.
All attention will be devoted to perfect
ing interference and defence. Players
will be worked very hard until next Sat
urday, when they will be allowed to grad
ually let up. If there are no further ac-
cidents to take the best men from the
line, it is believed the Cornell boys will
put up hard fight against the Quakers
During the past week the Cornell naval
authorities have been discussing the
intercollegiate situation. The members
of he athletic council have been in ses-
sion on two occasions and it is expected
that another meeting will be held. early
next week, to decide whether or not Cor
nell will row two races the coming
spring. President Huffcut refuses to say
what the probable outcome of the meet
ings will be, and it is the intention OF
the authorities of Cornell, Yale and Har-
ward to have as little as possible said
about the naval negotiations.
1t is known as a positive fact tnat Cor
nell has not received an official challenge
from either Yale or Harvard, this fall
Notwithstanding the reports to the con-
trary Nevertheless the Ithacans will
have a delicate problem confronting them
again this year, viz: Whether or not their
crew will row two separate races If it
should be asked to do this. This will be
avoided, If possible. for the result OF last
years race at Saratoga practically con-
vinced Coach Courtney and the members
Of the crew that they were not capable
of keeping in top-notch condition for two
great races
1t is thought probable here that two
races can be merged into one general re-
gatta, next spring.

SHORT ABOUT 1920.
Tax Collector of Corinna Con-
tessss to Embezzlement.
Was in Need Of Money and Took 1t to
Tide Over the Difficulty.
His Bondsmen Will &c Asked TO Make Good
the Deficiency.

Bangor, Me-, Nov. 13.-Henry j. Sea
vey OF Corinna, collector of taxes in
that town, has confessed to the en-
bezzlement of about $1,000 of the towns
money
Recently some of the citizens and the
selectmen have had reason to suspect
that Seavey was not turning over to
the treasury all Of the money collected
by him as taxes, and this week an in
vestisation was held.
The books and other accounts were
carefully gone over, and at the close
the evidence was conclusive that the
collector had taken for his own use
large amount of the town funds
In the face of this evidence Seave,,
collapsed and made confession. His
excuse for the crime was that he had
been unfortunate for some years, huy-
ing a, great deal of sickness in his
family, so that his expenses were more
than his earnings. He had appropri-
ated the money for his own use.
! Action has been brought against
Seavey's bondsmen to recover the
amount stolen.

MUST REVISE TARIFF
Because United States Are Now Ex-
porters Instead Of importers.
Many Of the Present War Revenue Features
Will Be Retained.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 13.-In an in
terview, tonight, Senator Hanna said
the tariff would have to be revised to
meet existing conditions. THE war
revenue measure" he said. must be
revised, but we will keep many of the
original features of the raw simply be-
cause it is now necessary. Under the
old tariff law we are not getting very
much revenue because We are export
ing instead of importing and something
must be done to meet these new condi-
tions. We must have new revenue
measure.
80 far as l am concerned, / favor
putting duty on tea and coffee. The
revenues for the support of the govern
ment must be raised in some way and
the direct indirect is the best way ac-
cording to my idea. When the people
do not realize that they are paying a
tax there is no complaint. Still it will
be necessary to retain some of the fea-
lures of the war revenue measure. The
tax is now on the people and in some
instances it is the proper method of
taxation"

THE NATIONAL W. C. I. U.
Is Promised Some Excitement When the Tenn
pie Matter Comes Up.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 13.-This was
a quiet day among the w. c. T. u, del
egates so far as convention was con-
cerned. A number of delegates filled
local pulpits, both merning and even
ing. But one session of the convention
was held Miss E. w. Greenwood,
worlds national superintendent of the
Evangelical department, preaching at
2.30 O'Clock, at the Peoples church.
The Temple matter and election of ofti
GERS, which promises so much excite
ment, Monday and Tuesday, were kept
as much in the back ground as possible.
for subjects in which all were interest
ed The Temple matter is due to come
up, late Monday afternoon, wher Mrs.
Matilda Carse. the founder of the Tenn
pie, will make her report on it and seek
to overcome the adverse decision of the
executive committee"
The polling of the delegates actively
continues and everybody is confident Of
winning. A very lively contest is
promised, the first move probably being
an attempt to secure secret ballot
Friends of the Temple believe they can
gain most by such a course, because of
the timidity of some of the delegates.
The general opinion has been that Mrs.
l.. NJ. N. Stevens, vice president at
large and acting president, would be
unopposed in her candidacy for the
place made vacant by the death of
Frances Willard, but several other can
didateS have been announced. Mrs.
Martin H. Durham of Ohio, one of the
Temple trustees and now state presi-
dent of Ohio, is prominent candidate
and her friends hope for help from the
friends of the Temple. Another prom
inent candidate is Mrs. B. G. Forbes,
state president of Connecticut.
Mrs. Stevenson's resignation leaves
the position of corresponding secretary
vacant and number of prominent
workers have been mentioned for that
office. There is little canvassing being
done and Mrs. Anna A. Gordon, former
ly Miss Wizards confidential friend
and secretary, seems to be the most
prominent in the field. There seems no
reason to doubt that the other officers
will be reelected. The place for the
next meeting has not yet been decided,
but it is probable that it will be Seat
tie. A number of Eastern cities have
invited the convention to meet in the
East, but the general sentiment seems
to be in favor of Seattle.

IS DREYFUS DEAD7
! Rumor . to that Effect Is
Current at Paris.
No Official Confirmation Of Report But
Many People Believe It.
Drcyfus Recently Wrote TO Vile that Ne Was
III and Dying.

Paris, Nov. 13.-It Is reported here.
tonight, that Dreyfus Is dead. The ru-
NOR is understood to be based upon a
mysterious telegram received from Coli
mar. capital OF Upper Alsace. signed by
an unknown correspondent.
So far as can be ascertained there is
no official confirmation Of the report
The father-in-law Of Dreyfus discred-
it's it. He says he has excellent ac-
counts which he received from the col
onial office quite recently as to the
prisoners health.
Despite these assurances there are
dark rumors afloat. In view Of the GU
rious manner of the letter from Drey-
fus declaring that he had abandoned
all hope. was conveyed to Nine. Drey-
fus. Friday, many people believe he is
dead.
A dispatch from Paris, Friday. said
that Nine. Dreyfus had applied that
day at the office OF the minister of COL
onies for permission to send her hus-.
band some warm clothing for his re-
turn home. The request was refused.
on the ground that the government
would do whatever was necessary.
At the same time, according to the
dispatch, the authorities read her let
ter from her husband to the effect that.
having for five months addressed ap-
peals for revision to Gen. DeBOisde-
ferre {recently chief of staff of the
French army without getting any re-
ply, and being weary and exhausted by
his useless appeals, he would write no
more to his family or to anybody. He
described himself as ill and dying and
bequeathed to the Generosity of my
country the care of rehabilitating my
memory"
1t appears that Nine. Dreyfus then
asked permission to telegraph her hus-
band the decision of the court of cas-
sation. This request also was refused
Then, through a friend, she appealed to
President Faure, but with no better re-
suit
The dispatch said her counsel would
bring the whole matter before the court
of cessation.
