FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAMS
PREPARING FOR BIG GAME.
Grand Stand Divided for Students
Arrangements for South Bend
NOtre Dame Game.

On Thanksgiving afternoon the football
teams of the Manual Training High School
and the Shortridge High School will meet
at Newly Oval to settle the championship
Of the two schools. This will be the fourth
time the two schools have battled for
championship honors and M. 7. II. S. has
always carried off the honors excepting in
last years contest, when neither side
scored. Shortridge has never scored against
the sturdy young players from the manual
school. The first time the two teams met
the score was 16 to 0 in favor of NJ. I. II. S.
and the second time it was II to 0 in favor
of the same team. In view of the fact that
neither team scored last year the rivalry
between the two schools is more intense.
To-day and tomorrow both teams will
be given hard practice and on Wednesday
they will be given the finishing work in
their signal practice. In Thursdays game
the best men from the two elevens will be
in the game. 1t is the principal contest Of
the year in high school circles, and a large
crowd will be present. The west half of the
grand stand will be occupied by Training
School followers, while the east side will be
turned over to the rooters of the S. III. S.
The box seats on the NJ. T.. II. S.. side nave
all been sold and the advance sale of seats

NEW YORK, Nov. 24-The full-rigged

crew are being cared for by the life
savers OF station No. 4 The tug Robert
Haddon picked up the Flottbek yesterday
afternoon about dark. The ship. under com
mand of Captain Singler. was bound for
New York, from Plymouth, England, with
a cargo of white clay and minerals. The
tug had a crew Of seven men and the ship
had twenty-fOur men. all told. All went
well until late in the evening, when the
wind attained "A velocity or forty or forty
five knots and the tug was unable TO make
roadway and the two vessels began to
work inshore. Their danger was seen from
the beach and the lifesavers prepared TO
aid them. Seeing the struggle was hopeless
and that the only chance of saving the tug
was TO let the ship 90, the haWSerw was cut.
The shin drifted rapidly on shore and
struck well up and close in at a point ia
vOrable for work upon her. The tug lost
her rudder about the time she was freed
from the ship. and. driven by the gale per-
fectly helpless, she drifted down the coast
and brought up against the iron pier at
Long Branch and began to pound against
IT. The crashing was heard by a fisherman,
who reused some citizens. With a rope
they went TO the pier to aid the seven men
on the tug. Each wave, as 1t receded, car

then as the next came rolling shOreward
the heavy tug would be carried on its crest
and dashed against the piling under the
pier or against the steel work.
The work of rescue was dangerous, not
only TO the men being rescued. but TO those
aiding them. After many efforts a man on
the tug caught the rope which was thrown
from the pier. He hung on and as the tug
was carried away from the pier, the man,
cIinging TO the rope, swung clear of her
and then was hurriedly hauled up on the
pier before the next wave could dash him
against the piling. Thus all were saved.
Meanwhile the ship had been locked after
by lifesavers. After several Intellectual at
tempts the regulation projectile was thrown
over her and the rope caught. The whip
and cable were hauled out by the crew and
made fast aloft. The l~ifesavers had their
shore anchor down and the breeches buoy
was rugged within a very short time. The
ship had struck brOadside on so that the

TO Long Branch.
About 8 o'clock in the morning the iron
pier broke i'm two. The tug had continued
to pound against il and the piling and
superstructure' were gradually weakened
by the blows. The tug. too, was battered
TO pieces. When the pier was carried away,
one man, whose name is not known, was
washed into the sea and owned.

DID NOT TAKE The BAIT
STORY TOLD BY HARRY G. REEVES,
OF ORT VERNON.
Says He Narrowly Escaped the De.
signs of Rathbun, the Alleged
of Goodman.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Nov. A.-It de-
veloped to-day that Newell c. Rathbun, the
alleged murderer of Charles Goodman, who
is In Jail here, was a guest at the Kelley
Hotel in North Vernon, Ind, from Oct. %
until Nov. 2, with the exception Of a couple
OF days, during which time it is known
that he was in Louisville. A story told by
Harry c. Reeves, manager of a foundry at
North Vernon, and who visited the jail to-
day and identified Rathbun, shows how Gag
erly Rathbun searched for a victim before
he found Goodman, and Reeves is congratu-
lating himself that he is not now a corpse.
Reeves's story is about as follows: Rath-
bun registered at the Kelley Hotel as w. L.
Ten Eyke, and occupied a room next to that
of Reeves. On several occasions he dis
played a roll Of money amounting to $500.
and from this amount spent freely. He rep
resented himself first as an OIL man, then as
a detective. and at other times as an in
surance man. He became attached to
Reeves and insisted on him going to Louis
vile with him, promising a good time in re-
turn. Reeves would not consent to go.
Rathbun then showed him pictures of two
handsome young women, whom he claimed
lived at Deputy, Ind, a little town near
NOTlu N6IlOl. he Sdlu J0dI Iney were very
wealthy and wanted Reeves to visit
them with him. Reeves declined the
invitation. Rathbun insisted, but still
Reeves refused 20 go. Rathbun said
that one of the young women was worth
$4,000, and that he wanted TO marry her,
then return TO his home at Petoskey. Mich,
where he intended starting a foundry To
learn, as he stated, something of the foun-
dry business, he constantly hung about
Reeves, both at work and while at leisure.
At last, when he found that Reeves would
not take a trip with him, he singled out a
young foundryman named William Mozier.
He insisted on Mozier visiting Louisville
with him, but the latter also declined.
From his actions while around North Yer
non the citizens of the little town became
convinced that he was a detective and were
constantly looking for something to drop in
their midst. Ten Eyke, or Rathbun, left
North Vernon on the night of Nov. 2, and
that was the last seen of him there.
When Reeves visited Rathbun in Jail to-
he said. Hello, Ten Eyke; what are you
doing here?" The prisoner replied, "Oh,
just got into a little trouble" Reeves then
asked: Where are the pictures of those
girls you wanted to take me to see?" With
a sarcastic smile Rathbun replied, IT guess

ing what the people of North Vernon
thought of his case he would not talk.

Rathbun notice a striking resemblance be-

GERMANS USE AMERICAN COAL.

Tons of Anthracite.

BERLIN. Nov. PA wholesale coal deal
er. Herr Gustav Schulz, who has just re-
turned from the United States, where he
ordered 40. 900 tons of anthracite coal, says
in an interview that no danger threatens
Germany from American coal. The i'm
portation of soft coal, is unremunerative.
even with existing low rates, says Herr
Schulz, but the importation of anthracite
coal will remain a permanent and paying
business, the effect OF which will simply
be to displace British and not German coal.
The Frankfurter Zeitung does not agree
with Herr Schulz, and says that Germany
must sooner or later expect a strong COM
petition from American coal as well as from
American iron products. This newspaper
quotes Superintendent Wencke, OF the
Krupp works, who draws attention to the
great increase in the United States in coal
transportation facilities for export. The
Frankfurter Zeitung advises the coal and
iron men of Germany to get together in
time TO meet this expected American COM
DetitiOn.
