some time past bad blood has existed
between Milton and the junction team

have not been beaten this season and
only scored on once, they wound up the
season on Thanksgiving at Lake Mills.

Giants" (city team with hardly man
that weighed less than two hundred.
The boys had ridden % miles to play
ball and were not to be bluffed, not if
Obey himself stood in front of them.
1t was good clean game from beginning
to end and resulted in tie, only once
during the whole game did either side
come near scoring and that was when
the Albion half back had cleared their
line and only one man, near their goal,
stood in front of him, but he was near the
side line and in watching his man slipped
over the chalk mark and was out. Their
talley sheet shows a record of 1872 points

SYMPATHIZES WITH BOERS
But Senator Kyle Thinks They Were Too
Eager to Fight.
The Hand of the Almighty Apparent
in Great International
Struggles.

CHICAGO, October 13.-"The philosophy
tof such movements as the operations of
England in South Africa, of the events be-
ing enacted In the Philippines, and that
have been witnessed in Cuba and Porto
Rico is that 1t is the destiny of civilization
to creep in and help those people whose
conditions are needfuI of Improvement"
So said United States Senator Kyle of
South Dakota, in talking of the struggle
between Great Britain and the Afrikanders.
He held that in the abstract the proposition
favored the Beers. but when the matter
was taken in the concrete England is but
taking the provindential opportunity she
must assume as a great and progressive
nation He added:
From the Boer standpoint it might seem
to be like some great European nation
Germany, for example-having once obtain
ed foothold in the United States, demand
ing that the German language be taught
in our schools. that there be no strong
holds about Washington, and that in all
governmental matters she should sway the
policy. 1t is well known that the English
rule in Johannesburg, and that they de-
mand certain things illustrated in the mat
ter / have just pictured.
"On the other hand, England has been
the protector of the Beers since that little
state became established as separate re-
public. 1t has guided it and acted as a
mother. 1t is not too much to ask that
the English be given such rights as have
been asked for, especially as these conces-
sions would avert war To prevent war, /
have hoped that the Beers would go as far
as to teach the English language In their
schools. This would do no harm. | think
the Beers may have been a little too hasty
and have rushed into war too thoughtless-
ly. We cannot fail to sympathize with
them, but 1t is no less true that any ma
ton that would hold its power has to per-
form certain duties that appear to me to
be the Will of the Almighty.
II think the Almighty gives these oppor-
tunfties to nations and that il is but a
question of time when the best Influences
of civilization will have prevailed in quar-
tiers now torn and tormented by strife
against progress and discomfort because of
outside interferences. Japan saw the stu
alton quickly, adopted new ideas speedily
and has prospered wonderfully The Chi
nese have been obdurate against civilizing
influences. China is reaping the reward
of her unyielding attitude, whereas Japan
has Jumped into place with the best nations
on the globe. 1t were well for the Beers
to lean somewhat on England"

ROBERTS IN NEW YORK.
Congressman From Utah Talks of His
Plurality of Wives.

NEW YORK, October 13.-Representa-
tive-elect Brigham Henry Roberts, from
Salt Lake City, Utah. who is in Brooklyn,
came east over a week ago on private busi-
ness He will remain about week longer
and then go to Philadelphia and probably
to Washington Speaking to a reporter he
said that there was no indictment against
him when he left Utah that he knew of,
nor did he know that there was now an
Indictment. He had broken no law, he
said. That he had a plurality of wives
was true, but he had married them before
the manifesto of 1890
There had been no plural marriages since
then, nor would there be any Any in
fringement of the statute would be discip-
lined by the church quickly as by the
laws of the land. Mr.. Roberts went on to
say that his visit to Brooklyn was merely
a friendly one to the people of his own re-
ligious faith. They We're here to preach the
Gospel and did not desire to be brought
into any controversy which might affect
him. Speaking of his election to Congress-
he said 1t had been accomplished indepen-
dent OF the church, as he had received the
greater Number of votes from Gentiles and
1t had been an election of the people, He
had no fear about facing Congress nor any
mtsgivings in regard to the general out
come of the situation.

Police Unable to Get Any Glue in New
York Case.
They Are Still Trying to Locate Mrs.
Gertrude BillfnEs-What Her
Parents Say.

NEW YORK, October 13.-Poltce Cap
tains Schmittberger and Price worked all
last night on the 18th street woman murder
mystery, but they reported today that moth
ing had been discovered. Every clue that
has been followed up so far has led to
nothing. The police continue their denials
that any arrest has been made having even
the remotest connection with the case.
1t was alleged that clue had been found
in the house of Mrs. Barbara Damn, a
midwife Of West 1O9th street. The police
had received some information which led
them to search the premises of the family.
but nothing was found that would in any
way connect Mrs Damn with the mystery.
The house is an old two-story frame dwell
ing with a barn. It's occupants are MRS.
Damn, her son George, river of fur
niture van; his daughter Emma, Mrs.
Damm's daughter Mrs. Emma Brown, and
four boarders, who sleep on the second
floor The policemen searched the house
and barn A number of pieces of red-stain-
ed manila paper were found, and there
were two old saws with rust on them and
an old. worn, dusty and stained pair OF
trousers The saws were old and dust was
so thick on them that they could not have
been used in the last six months The
trousers had certainly not been worn more
recently than six months ago Inc mania
paper was of the ordinary make and the
police said they did not see how they could
have anything to do with so recent a
murder.
The police say they have not given up the
search for Mrs. Gertrude Billings, the miss
ing wife of George Billings, a saloon keep
err although Mrs. Billings parents said
they were satisfied their daughter was alive
and we'll The woman murdered had suf-
fered from pleurisy, and it has been dis
covered that Mrs. Billings had an attack
of pleuro-pneumonia about year ago

A NEW TRANSFER SYSTEM
Washington Traction and Electric Company
Completing One.
1t Will BE Announced Next Week and
Will BE Liberal in It's Pro-
visiOns for Patrons.

The officials of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company have been for sew
eral days past and are at present, engaged
in making many important changes in the
transfer system between the various street
and suburban railroads owned by the syn
dicate, and In a few days the new order
of things will go into operation. When
the operation of the various lines came un-
der the direction of the company wide
open arrangement Of transfers was inau-
gurated and continued until it was found
that it was being abused very substantial
ly. AS the plan was merely experimental,
1t was decided where the fact Of the abuse
of the privilege was proven, to adopt tenn
porarily, more rigid one in order to study
the situation thoroughly from all points of
view and endeavor to strike a happy me-
dium by which the public could be given
the most liberal service possible and at the
same time protect the interests Of the COM
pany.
More Liberal Than the Present.
The system which is now being arranged
will be much broader than that now in
vogue, and will permit Of transfers on
transfers at many functions where such an
interchange is at present refused. When
the schedule is completed. which will most
probably be early next week. cards will be
placed In each car Of each division OF the
system, which includes the Metropolitan,
the City and Suburban, the Anacosta and
Potomac the Columbia, the Washington
and Great Falls, the Brightwood, the
Georgetown and Tenleytown. the Washing
ton and Rockville the Washington and
Glen Echo. the Washington, Woodside and
Forest Glen and the Capital Railway COM
panies. Each card will indicate plainly to
passengers the transfer privilege they will
be entitled to on ticket or cash fare.
To each conductor book will be sup
piled embodying the entire transfer system
on all the roads of the syndicate, and these
books will also be distributed to all cit
izens who desire them. In order to ac-
quaint the general public thoroughly with
the new departure, the entire transfer
schedule will be published for several days
in the advertising columns Of all the daily
papers.
Statement of an OfhciaI.
I'VE desire to do everything in our
power" said an official of the company to
a Star reporter today. Ito meet the ap
proval Of the people in the matter of ia
cilitating their rapid transit to all portions
of the District for single fare. Abuses
will be prevented, Of course, but we feel
confident that the new transfer schedules,
now reaching completion, will be entirely
satisfactory to our patrons in every re-
spect We have endeavored to study the
question thoroughly, and we believe we
have solved the problem satisfactorily to
the public and the company alike"
