MEANS TO CRUSH IT
Tobacco Trusts War on an
Independent Company.
Fight on Wells Whitehead Cigarette Firm Of
Wilson Begun. Usual Tactics of the
Corporation Employed.
Especial to News and Observer. ]

-
Greensboro, N. c.. Nov. 24-It is said
that the American Tobacco Company has
declared war on another independent
manufacturing concern-the Wells White
head Cigarette Company of Wilson The
method of warfare is the same usually
waged by this corporation against indie
pendent concerns. The dealer who
handles Carolina Brights, manufactured
by the Wells Whitehead Company, is to
have the American Tobacco Company S
goods offered him at a reduced price,
while the consumer is to be given a 20
per cent. rebate on the trusts cigarettes.
Circulars have been distributed in Green's
boro by agents of the American Tobacco
Company Offering to give free a box of
either Duke of Durham, Cross Cut or Co.
lumbia cigarettes for the fronts of five
boxes of either of these brands. The cir
culars wind up with this caution: Don't
throw your empty cigarette boxes away,
as they have value of one cent each"
Several agents of the American Tobac-
co Company are now in North Carolina
interviewing the jobbers and dealers and
holding out inducements to them to handle
the trust goods exclusively. The trust
has decided to take this course to crush
competition on account of the popular
favor attained by the independent con-
Germs cigarettes.

downs, Sharpe, the Yale halfback, lifted
held goal from the 25-yard line
The second half was a killing one for
Captain Days men and it was not long
before they began to give way before the
unprecedented onslaughts of the Yale
men. Burnett had succeeded Lee just be-
fore the first half ended. Shortly after
the kick off of the second period the Grim
son supporters were thrown into panic
when DAILY, who had been limping, went
to the side lines and Harvard had lost
her captain.
In rapid succession Harvards men sur
rendered and before the game was over
the crimson team had played twenty men.
The only Yale man to leave was Olcott,
the center, who with five minutes to play
had sustained a blow on the head and
Holt took his place. The scoring of the
second half was of the spectacular order.
Yales goal was never in danger, Har-
ward not once reaching a point nearer
than the Yale 30-yard line Throughout
the game Yale retained possession of the
ball three quarters of the time and when
it fell to Harvard's lot on infrequent oc-
casions to try an advance, her line plays
and end formations were thrown back.
The experts at the best points of OBJ
servation ascribed the victory to Yale's
magnificent team work and the superb
physical condition of her men.

A SECOND REPORT.
Especial to News and Observer

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 24.-If ever a
team was underestimate in strength
by opponents it was Virginia. They
not only had the heaviest line, but the
heaviest backs, a more we'll balanced
team and better team work. Virginia
had the better team, and North Caro-
lima played in wretched form, fumb-
ling twice on Nirginia's ten yard line
in the first down. In every depart
ment except punting, Virginia out
classed Carolina. Graves outkicked
Coleman from fifteen to twenty yards
down against the wind. He played a
star game. Council and MacRae also
played the game for Carolina, but
Carolina had no men on whom they
could depend upon for d good game
around the end. One good half back
on Carolina who could have circled the
end would have made a material diff
ference in the score Cardinals ends
were continually boxed during the
first half when Dabney made long
gains around the ends and the stupid
work of Martin on Coleman's trial for
goal gave Virginia an extra six point
in first by giving a touchdown, when
Carolina ought to have had a touch
back.
Cardinals magnificent defense was
a myth. Their failure to charge in
time usually cost a yard and the line
was full of holes, through which Nir-
ginia made rood gains. Harris, of
Virginia, was disqualified for the most
ineXcusable, dirtiest and most dis
gushing playing ever seen on the
southern gl'idiron. Just before the
game ended, Graves was thrown to
the ground after punting the ball, and
while lying there helpless, was delib-
erately kicked twice in the side by
Harris without cause or provocation
He was promptly disquanned by UNI
pire Armstrong. The score should
have been to in favor of Virginia.

THE HARPOOT AFFAIR
We Would Violate an Implied
Understanding.
This is Turkeys Claim, and We Admit That il
Has Foundation, But Well Have a
Consul There.
Consul There.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 24.-The Turkish au-
thorities having refused to grant an ex-
equatur to Dr. Thomas H. Norton to act
as United States Consul at Harpoot, the
indications point to some retaliatory
measures on the part of our Govern
ment in the near future. The Turkish
contention now is that they permitted a
United States Consulate to be established
at Erzeroun under an implied under
standing that the United States would
abandon its claim to a consulate at Har-
poot That there was some shadow OF
foundation for this understanding is adj
mitted; but it is still the purpose of the
United States to establish this consulate
because the British Government has since
been permitted to locate a consul at Har-
poot, and under the favored nation clause
of our treaty with Turkey the United
States Government claims the same COM
mercial privileges as Great Britain
There is beside peculiarly potent rea-
son for the presence of a United States
representative at Harpoot, for, at that
point, is located some of the most i'm
portant and flourishing American mission
airy and educational interests in Turkey
Moreover, being located in the Armenian
district where so many outrages upon
Christians have occurred, it is extremely
desirable that our government should
have some impartial representative to
watch over the interest of American citi-
Zens there.
The last adverse decision of the Tur-
kish Government in this matter has not
modified the orders to the big battleshir
Kentucky to proceed from Naples to
Smyrna. She sailed today and should
arrive at Smyrna in the ordinary course
Monday or Tuesday next. 1t is of course
not expected that the ship is to make
war single handed on Turkey, but is
thought that the moral influence of this
exhibition of American naval power may
be beneficial in settling the question OF
eXequatur as we'll as the long pending
missionary claims against Turkey.
THE PORTE is FIRM.
Constantinople, Friday, Nov. 23.-UniteC
States Charge d'Affaires Griscom called
upon Tewfik Pasha, Minister for Foreign
Affairs yesterday to urge a settlement o.
the difficulty in relation to the granting
of an exequatur to DR.. Thomas H. Norton

Norfolk, Va, Nov 24.-An enthus-
iastic crowd of about 1000 saw Vir-
ginia defeat North Carolina at League
Park this afternoon by the score of II
to 0. North Cardinals centre was a
tower Of strength, but the team from
the Old North State was not so strong
on the ends and the interference was
not what it should have been. They
fought hard however, but Virginia was
too much for them. Virginia played a
quick, snappy game from start to fin
1sh and carried the bali down the field
as they pleased. In less than five min
utes after the first kickoff, the orange
and blue scored a touchdown and goal
and from that time until the end of
the game it was all one way. Virginia
scored II in the first half and five in
the second. The playing of Walker and
Dabney for Virginia was a noteworthy
feature, that of the latter being
especially brilliant, his runs being re-
markable. Several men on both sides
were injured but not seriously. Both
teams and their friends we're rendered

them by grasping the shrubbery. 1t was
impossible for the eastern column TO
reach the summit, but the others arrived
after three hours climbing, under fire
from the fortress and the hillside en-
trenchments. The enemy's force, num-
