BEATEN. AND ROBBED
OF HER DIAMONDS
Abraham Cohn, Peddler, Is Arrested
on Complaint of Mrs.
Allison

Mrs Ella Allison, a well-dressed, mid
dle-aged woman, caused the arrest last
night of Abraham Cohn, a peddler, aged
10 years, for robbery. According to the
woman's story she was standing at Eighth
and Harrison streets on the night of Au-
gust 20, when she was accoSted by two
men, one of whom pretended to know
her. Failing to engage her in CONVERSE
ton the men, she says, seized her and
after sitting her cries carried her into
the baseball grounds and after brutally
beating her robbed her of a pair of dia-
mond earrings, a diamond ring and a gold
watch and chain When Cohn was taken
into custody the diamond ring was found
in his possession.
He claims that he discovered Mrs. Alli-
son in the ball grounds weeping bitterly,
and feeling sorry for her he accepted
her offer to buy the ring for 80 cents.
His story is not believed by Detectives
Ryan and O'Dea, who arrested him.

HARVARD AND YALE.

The question of supremacy at football among
American college teams will be settled for this
year to-day. To speak strictly, there is no
championship title TO be awarded for not every
important eleven competes with every other.
But the chief honors of the season will be cheer
fully bestowed by common consent upon the
yictors in today's tumultuous combat, to which
peculiar interest belongs by reason Of the fact
that when Harvard and Yale meet on the windy
plain of Cambridge New-Haven each Is uni
versaly recognized as the others dearest foe.
To-day the encounter is to come off al the for
mer place, under local and social auspices fa-
vcrable to Harvard. but. nevertheless. she is
not the fayorite, owing rather to traditional re-
spect for Yale's ability to play little better
than she knows how when she has TO than to
anything which the years record has to show
Doubtless Yale was somewhat stronger at New
Haven last Saturday than Harvard has yet
proved herself to be- and there is good reason
TO suppose that there has been Improvement
since the game with Princeton. But on the
other hand, the opinion is that Harvard has
never been really extended, to borrow term
from the racetrack. and her physical condition
is officially declared TO be wenigh perfect. But
the Yale team is also believed to be thoroughly
fit and eager for the hardest kind of football
that its rival is competent to exemplify. This
is as it should be. There is a place for every
thing, and the place for cripples is not a grid
iron. but hospital.
The game will be sight worth going further
than Cambridge to see. About thirty thousand
persons VIII surround the arena. At the outset
they will all be radiantly happy. and large
proportion of them will be beautiful to the last
whether fearful or jubilant. Harvard will enjoy
the inspiration of a special message of conf
