GREAT FOOT BALL GAME.
st. Thomas and Fordham Will Play
Here THANKSGIVING Day.

Last Thanksgiving day saw the iirst
foot ball game between college elevens
ever played In this city. Another game
between college teams has been ar
ranged for this Thanksgiving. The con-
testants will be Fordham college, or
New York, and st. Thomas college, Of
this city. Last Thanksgiving game
between st. Thomas and Villa Nova
provided the most sensational game
ever seen in these parts. and Thurs
days game promises to far excel 1t.
Fortlham has been scored upon only
once during the last two years and
that occurred last year. when West
Point scored touchdown. Her men
have the reputation of being the fast
est in training. both halfbacks and
both ends being famous sprinters. She
will rely upon end runs behind perfect
interference and upon goals from the
field. She hopes. by these means and
by a superior quality of defensive work,
to run up high score.
The st. Thomas team does not in
dulge in predictions. 1t has well earned
the title Of The Silent Eleven" 1t al
lows the other team to do the talking,
while it Is doing the playing. From
the coach to the subs it is preserving
IL reticence as to its methods of Of
fense and defense that bodes little good
for Fordham. Secret practice has al
ready begun and trick plays are said
to be a feature.
The team will be selected from the
following players: W. O'Horo, Mean
drew. j. O'Horo. Hadgins. j. Mcdonald
\. Mcdonald, Manley. Vaughan, Ken
nedy, Farrell. Gallagher, O'Malley, Bar
rett Burke, Langan, Thomas. Hag-
gerty. kelliher. This is an aggregation
of foot ball talent good enough to go
up against the best in the land.
Elaborate prepara tions have been
made for the convenience of spectators
The sridiron will be doubly roped and
IL a'squad Of ten policemen will keep the
field clear and provide an uninterrupted
view for all spectators.

The question of the hour with the
twenty-one members of the Scranton
board of control just now is, When
Scranton becomes q city of the second
class, will the school board consist of
twenty -onc members, one from each
ward. as at present. or will it consist
OF fifteen members elected from the
city at large. AS provided in the Act
of 1895?
This question revolvcs around an
other question, which is this: Is the
Act of 1895 constitutional or unconsti-
tutional? The supreme court in II de-
cisiun handed down in 1896, or one year
after the act went into effect. un-
euuivocally declared 1t to DE unconsti-
tutional. but Ira n. Burns and several
other local attorneys contend that the
Supreme court reversed it's ruling in Il
certain portion of the opinion handed
down in April OF this year in the case
Of Commonwealth versus Gilligan, the
same opinion which settled the dues-
tion as to whether q board of twenty
one or :, board of six was the legal
board in a city of the third class.
The Act of 1895. above referred to.
provides for the election of fifteen
school directors at large In cities of TIL"
second class, said directors to be elect
ed for three years. and no two to come
from the same ward. 1t further pro-
vdes that they shall draw slips on the
morning Of the organization of the first
board for the purpose of ascertainng
who shall serve for one, who for two
and who for three years, five slips to

CASE IN QUESTION.

The case in which the opinion Oi the
Supreme court, declaring this act un-
constitutional, was handed down was
the case of Chalfant VS.. Edwards ct
AL, and has been widely quoted. 1t
was n bill in equity to restrain GER
tain sub-school district in Pittsburg.
provided for by this same Act of 1898,
from selling and delivering certain
school bonds. Mr.. Chalfant, the ap-
pellant, was citizen, and his attor-
neys contended that this act was un-
constitutional.
The lower court declared it to be un-
constitutional and the matter was
taken to the Supreme court. In de-
claring the act unconstitutional this
tribunal gave as it's reason for so doing
that it was a violation of the const!tn-
tional prohibition against local or spe-
cial legislation for school districts. This
is what the court then said:
In every instance We have asserted the same
rule, SAYING that the effect Of classification
must not he carried beyond its purpose as do.
clrcd III the original classification law and that
law relating to any other subject, though
embracing all the cities OF a given class, or Of
all the cities into which cities are divided, is
local and unconstitutional if tho subject he one
den. The regulation of the affairs OF school dis
tric> is such subject.
The act before passed TO establish a
local system. lis results were intended to be
local and only local. They can by no possibility
hc anythin. hut local This act is therefore
squarclv within the words of the constitutional
prohibition. 1t i, beyond the power OF the lcgis'
la,urc to enact and is absolutely void.
1t will be seen that the Supreme
court at that time declared that when
the classification of school districts
was based upon the classification Of
cities. as in the act of 1925, the act
classifying such districts is local and
unconstitutional.

MIR. BURNS STATEMENT.

Mr.. Burns admitted yesterday. when
seen by Il Tribune man, that as far
as the above-quoted opinion goes. tn,
act Is unconstitutional. But said
he "the Supreme court this last spring
has reversed it's ruling on the question
of classification and reversed it in no
euuivocal manner. The opinion Of 1896
and this years opinion cannot pos
sibly stand together, because one Is
contradictory of the other"
Mr.. Burns showed the Tribune man
a copy of this years advance reports
giving complete account of the case
Of the commonwealth versus Gilligan,
of Pittston. In this case Mr.. Burns
was one of the attorneys and one of
the many points he raised was that
the classification of cities WAS for mu-
nicipal purposes only. In this he was
upheld by the opinion already handed
down. Here is what the Supreme
court said this year on the classifica-
tion question::
This acts deals with business affairs which,
though relating to schools, are in their nature
municipal and prov des similar system for those
similarly situated. 1t does not make the school
boards part Of municipal government; they are
lett independent as before. But, recognizing
that large population compressed into small
territory may have the same necessity for a
somewhat different constituted board OF govern
ment for the business affairs OF its schools than
il has for its strictly municipal affairs, it pro-
'ihes special system for districts so specially
situated. This is the legitimate Office OF classii-
cation, and, therefore, is not local or special
within the prohibition OF the constitution.
Mr.. Burns said that 1t Is a wcll
known principle of law that the latest
decision of court is the binding one,
and oppressed the belief that IL the
act of 1896 was ever again brought
before the Supreme court it would be
declared constitutional
1t is very, very seldom, where Il
court has reversed itself twice on the
same matter, he said
