Washington, December 9-The December
night at the Arlington hotel where about 100
guests were entertained in characteristic
manner by the forty correspondents who
compose the famous organization. Gen. II.
V Boynton presided. He took part in an
interesting burlesqHe election, in when
members of the club impersonated we'll
known statesmen and politicians and par
ticipated in the Kentucky-P Philadelphia
election on plans of the most exaggerated
type. General Boynton was unanimously
voted out, but he called in the "army" and
navy" and was again seated.
The initiation of Mr.. Rudolph Kaufman,
of the Evening Star, was made the text of
a clever skit. The candidate appeared as
'Aguinaldo' running for safety and .pur-
sued by three members of the club repre-
senting Generals Lawton, Macarthur and
Wheeler.
'Aguinaldo was captured by these Of
ficers," and then General OTIS and other
members of the club stalked in with mill
tary pomp and, after some conversation
received the report of the officers, each
claiming to have captured the Filipino
chief. After reading each report he dictat-
ed dispatch to his Orderly" cabling Ad-
jutant General Corbin that 1.-The army un-
der my command presents the nation, as a
Christmas gift Aguinaldo
The club took in the candidate, saying
as he had done most of his fighting in the
newspapers he was entitled to belong to
a correspondents club.
General Otis" was presented with a
mouse for his great victory. Another in
cident was the reading of an alleged dis
patch from South Africa detailing a great
victory which the English had achieved

Der of British soldiers running the whole
length of the room, pursued in a leisurely
manner by "Oom Paul Kruger" who crack

ing one of thorough enjoyment
Among the prominent guests present were

THREW ACID IN
LANDLADY'S FACE
A White Barber is Taken From
Macon to Avoid a
Lynching.

Macon, Ca, December 9.-w. D. Smith,
a white. barber, was taken from here to
Atlanta today to avoid lynching. The Of
Tense which so aroused the community
against Smith was throwing of acid into
the face of Mrs. s. NJ. Hillard, his land
lady, and binding her.
Smith came to Macon from Mississippi
several months ago and, with his wife,
boarded with Mrs. Hilard. About a week
ago he was notified that he must pay up or
quit. His wife was permitted to remain.
Since then he has visited his wife several
times and abused and threatened her., This
morning he went to the house and asked to
see his wife. Mrs. Hillard informed him
that the woman did not wish to see him
because she was afraid of him.
Without provocation he took a bottle of
acid from his pocket and dashed the con-
tents into Mrs. Hillard's face. He was ar
rested and lodged in the police barracks
So intense was the feeling against him that
the authorities deemed it best to send him
to Atlanta, which was done. The lady will
be dsfigured for life and lose her eye sight.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE
To the Energy of DR.. w. E. B. Davis
ofThis City

DR.. Joseph Tabor Johnson, the eminent
abdominal surgeon of Washington, d. c.,
in his presidential address before the South
ern Surgical and genealogical association
in New Orleans, which was published in the
Daily Picayune, December It'll, spoke of the
work in behalf of the association by DIR. w.
E. B. Davis of Birmingham as folows
This would seem fitting time to ac-
knowledge the deep and lasting debt of
gratitude we owe to our chief executive Of
ficer, the untirng, devoted and universal
ly loved. secretary. All the words of praise
which have been said of DIT. Chadwick In
regard to his skill in organizing, and wis
dom and executive ability in managing the
early affairs of the American genealogical
society would apply with equal justice and
force to DR. Davis, in his labor of love, In
providing programmes and carrying on to
a successful termination our meetings in
the various parts of the country in which
they have been held. The members or a.
society scarcely realize the amount or
work which is represented by the hnlshed
programmes and volumes of tranactions
which reach us through the mall The or

for all this eleven years of work in our be-
half we owe our secretary very large DEBT
of gratitude.
The literary and scientific value of our
eleven volumes of transactions compare
fayorably with those of an other surgical
or gynecological societies in the country,
and afford us not only great satisfaction
in this respect, but constitute a source OF
pride and congratulation at the growth,
usefulness and solid prosperity of the asso-
citation itself. Our early presidents were
right, then, in their representations. There
was room for our new organization That
"a need long-felt" was met by its organiza-
ton Is evidenced by its steady growth in
membership, in the number and high char
acter of it's papers, and the scientific and
interesting discussions which followed. The
society has lost some Of its distinctly Sec
tional and local features, as shown by its
election of fellows from quite number of
the northern and western states, and bids
fair to become national organization be-
fore the rapidly approaching century is
-
association will never lose its distinctly
southern characteristics by the benefcent
widening of its scope of membership and
usefulness.

ESCAPED BY THE WINDOWS

About o'clock last night a squad of po-
licemen, under Captain Weir, made regu-
lar old-fashioned raid on an assembly of
crap shooters, and successfully landed fif-
teen of the dark-skinned sports, the rest
of the shooters" by sheer force of num-
beers, making their escape.
The night was ideal for SHADY work of
any character, the wind and rain clearing
the streets of every one but those whom
business or necessity had forced to face
the angry elements. This being the case,
the Saturday night gang of negro gamblers,
'snugly ensconced in a room over Damon &c
Lees livery stable, in Third avenue, be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets,
felt themselves comparatively safe, and
with reason, for one long night of unal-
loyed indulgence in the festive game. But
alas for human plans and expectations!
Unsubstantial as gossamer before the
winds, and as frail, are human hopes For
even at the very moment when Proprietor
William Swanson, the owner of the Joint
over the stable, was congratulating himself
on a prosperous night, Captain Weir,
companied by Officers johnson, Mcknight
and Nix, were bearing down upon the gam
blers, and their sport was soon to he at an
end.
Arriving on the scene. two of the officers
assembled to the room in which the sports
were playing, and two remained below. As
soon as the darkies became aware that
they were up against genuine raid why,
out went the lights, up went windows, and
negro humanity, collectively and singly,
commenced to scramble never humanity
of any color has scrambled before.
Entering, the officers corraled nearly ev-

mass of players had jumped from the win
dows at the first intimation of raid. One
of the men, Will Spencer, not so fortunate.

ALABAMA BOY IS
HELD FOR MURDER
Shoots and Kills a Man at Madi-
son Square Garden
During Races.

New York December ga distressing in
cdent married the close of the bicycle rae
ing at Madison Square Garden tonight.
An hour after the big six-day race and
during the excitement attending the 10
mile pursuit race, Frederick S. Slater, of
Railway, n. j., seated in one of the lower
boxes, was shot and mortaly wounded by
Walter Rosser, 10 years DID, a medical
student living in this city.
At the police station Rosser gave his
Christian name as Willis. At the Licking
ton Avenue house, where Rosser boarded,
his room mate said that he is the son of
wealthy parents in Stevenson, Ala
1t is said also that Rosser graduated at
Vanderbilt university in Nashville, Tenn,
in 1885, and that me has been attending the
post graduate hospital in this city,
The shooting occurred as the result of a
bet on a race.
There were eleven or twelve thousand
people in the big ampitheater at the time
and the affair created quite a commotion
Rosser was intoxicated at the time it is
said. He had been going about making
bets on the races with various people and
walked up to the box in which Slater and
a party of friends were seated and said he
was ready to bet five to one that Eaton
would win the next race. Eaton was not
in the next race and in a spirit of fun,
Slater made a bet with him. Just as tie
finish of the race was becoming exciting,
some one near Slater called out to him,
Hes got q gun, look out" Rosser had al
ready pulled out a revolver and he fired
point blank at Slater The bullet struck
him in the left breast just over the heart.
The crowd was shouting so loudly over
the race that few persons heard the shot.
Those in the immediate vicinity of the
shooting saw Slater fall back in the arms
of young woman who sat directly behind
him. His head fell in her lap A crowd
rushed over toward the scene of the shoot
ing and tried to lay hold of Rosser, but a
couple of policemen were too quick for
them and they held the murderer away,
Cher policemen came to their aid and sur
rounding the medical student, they forced
him through the mob. The crowd tried to
break through several times, but the police
kept them back with their clubs
Rosser was taken to the overcoat room.
which was still guarded. Slater also was
carried to the overcoat room, where after
recovering consciousness, he identified Ros-
ser as THE man who shot him.
Slater was taken to Bellevue hospitaJ
Rosser was taken to the West Thirtieth
street station. There was an enormous
crowd present. The races were broken I'm
and the crowd seemed intent on learning
the immediate fate of Rosser Chief Deyerv
happened to be in the garden and took
charge of the case. Policemen guarded the
man who, however, was very cool. He
walked along with the policemen. He
cooly said he would commit suicide at the
first opportunity he got, and Chief Devery
told the policemen to look after him close
ly and see that he did not keep his word
in that respect.

CHICAGO PLAYERS
ARE VICTORIOUS
Wisconsin Was 0utpIayed at
Every Point.
FINAL SCORE II TO o
The Badgers Interference Was Easily
Broken and During the Entire Game
They Never Advanced the Ball
More Than Ten Yards

Madison, Wis, December 9.--The western
football championship goes to Chicago.
Before 1900 people the eleven of the Uni
yersity of Chicago today defeated the Uni
versty of Wisconsin by a score of II to
in a game for desperate playing, for clean,
scientific football which has probably
never been equalled on a western grldiron
1t was a game between team which in
offensive play was perfect, with weather
and Wind in its favor, and an eleven whose
dense play up today had been compact
enough to protect their goal line from all
opposing eleyens except Yale.
Only once did Wisconsin have even a
chance to score, and that one chance they
were unable to avail themselves of, as
with the ball on their 15-yard line, the
Chicago forwards braced so effectively that
Oh four downs the ball was only showed
forward three yards. In this respect the
Chicago players surprised their supporters.
Their defense play was far stronger than
expected, and even when Wisconsin had
the ball, which was seldom O'Dea was
compelled to kick in most instances
throughout the whole game the Badgers

Win the ball well into their territory.
Chicago quickly located the weak spots in
the Badgers defense. They were mostly
on the left side of the line, and in the first
half Shaker, Fell. Hamilton and Henry be-
hind interference that was apparently IN
ereakable, tore through the tackle and
guard position for gains that almost in
variably netted the distance,

star OF the Wisconsin eleven. The whirling
mass on tackle, the most effective play of
Chicago, was often directed against him.
but Ut never melted more than three yards
and frequently Curtiss stopped the play be-
fore 1t was fairly started.
During the latter part of the second half
Chicago played to keep Wisconsin from
scoring, and once Kennedy adopted the
tactics of Captain Mcbride of Yale, and
dropped back twenty yards to the ball
Chicagos interference was far superior to
Wisconsin's s, and to this fact more than any
other must be ascribed the victory.
Wisconsin's interference on the other
hand, was more easily broken up, and at no
stage of the game was the ball advanced
more than ten yards. Two hours before the
game a cold drizzling rain began to fall
and throughout the battle showers fell
frequently. IN
When the referees whistle was blown for
the end of the game nearly a thousand
cheering rooters broke out on the gridiron,
hoisted the tired but happy champions to
their shoulders, and headed by a band,
marched out of the grounds and far up
the street before they allowed their burdens
to climb into the waiting carriages.
