when St Louis was practically un-

with their peltry and held high car

to take the trail for the hunting
grounds, to face the savage beasts and
savage men. It was first settled
In 1878, and for nearly 200 years It was
believed to be destined to be the
great metropolis Of the southwest. In
1926 Gen. Lafayette visited Kaskas-
ha, and was so impressed with the
hustle and activity witnessed that he
predicted a great future for che French
settlement.
These hopes were blasted by the
great flood Of 1874, followed forty
years later by the Mississippi getting
on a rampage and cutting a channel

to the church Of Illinois. The old Kas-
kaslia bell, the liberty bell Of the west,
is ten years older than the old liberty
bell, with which it shared honors at
the worlds fair. This bell weighs
about $50 pounds and is Ornamented
on n side with groups Of heur-de-lis
in relief, and on the other with a
cross and pedestal. The following in
scription is cast in the bell: Pour
Teglise des Illinois par les soins du
Sr. Dulieleau L. B. M. Normand a la
Rochelle, 1741." The old church con-
tains other things Of interest besides
the bell. Among them are the chalice
and pater presented to the church by
the king Of France, the table on which
was written the first constitution Of
the state of Illinois and the signature
Of Col George Rogers Clark, 1878. The
old parish records are kept here.
Some superstitious people associate
the fate of Kaskaskia with a tragedy
Of early days. It was over 100 years
ago that the young chief Of the Kas-

daughter of n Of the early settlers
named Bernard. The young people, de-
spairing of the consent Of the father
of the girl to their marriage, eloped.
They were pursued and captured, the
father of the girl being the leader Of
the party.

Wright earned their undying gratitude
during the two yeIlow-feyer epidemics
twenty years ago by remaining here
when most Of the whites had fed, and
seeing that the sick were cared for.
At brilliant banquet in the evening
President Roosevelt, speaking regard
ing the Philippines, said among other
things:
General Wright's work has been as
difficult as it was important. The events
Of the last four years have definitely
decided that, whether we wish to or
not, we must hereafter play great
part in the world. We cannot escape
facing the duties. We may shirk them
if we are built Of poor stuff, or We may
take hold and DO them If we are fit sons
of our sires-but face them we must,
whether we will or not.
I'VE are in the Philippines, and we
can no more haul down our flag and
abandon the islands than we could now
abandon Alaska. Whether We are glad
or sorry that events forced us to go
there is aside from the question.
There is no question as to our not
having gone far enough and fast enough
in granting self-government to the Fill
ipinos; the only possible danger has
been lest we should go faster and far
Their than was in the interest of the
Filipinos themselves

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Michael McGraw Arrested by Detec-
tIrns NnIp-afI and E,ro,-

Michael McGraw Arrested by Detec-
tives ColwelI and Frey.
Yesterday afternoon Detective Colwell
and Frey went to the railroad yards
and arrested Matthew McGraw, d
brakeman living at % Liberty street,
and charged him with highway robbery
and murderous assault. He was posi-
lively identified last evening by Mr..
Campbell, as the man who struck Mr..
Donahue down on last Saturday even
ing.
Donahue was removed to Milford and
is in very serious condition. Two
doctors are with him constantly and he
has been bleeding some from the ear
ever since ne was struck. One of the
marks of Identification which the police
will use as evidence is a blue and white
striped linen jumper.
On last Saturday evening as Michael
Donahue and Patrick Campbell were
walking along Union avenue, near the
corner Of State and Water streets they
were approached by man who asked
them for some money to buy a drink
with and on their refusing, he struck
Donahue over the head with an instru-
ment which, the police say, was of iron,
and then robbed him of 500 and a new
suit Of clothes. He then escaped and
the police have been working on the
case ever since.

Mayor Studley and First Selectman
Walter A. Main, of the town of Orange,
have Jointly issued the usual procla-
nation concerning the route which car
riages may take going to Yale field on
Saturday on the way to the field. 1t is
estimated that nearly 200 hacks will be
used to carry spectators who have
money to burn to the field. The car
riages must take the same route as was
prescribed a year ago, going on the
north side Of Chapel street from York
street to Ellsworth avenue, thence on
the right-hand side of Derby avenue to
Yale field. No teams will be permitted
to run into Derby avenue from ELS
worth avenue, Norton street, or George
street. Returning from the field after
the game the carriages will be permit
ted to take the southerly side of Derby
avenue in going to Chapel street. The
regulation as outlined above worked
with satisfaction to all parties year
ago.

LINEUP OF HARVARD TEAM.
How it Will Face Yale-Fine Showing
Yesterday.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 19.-Much
encouragement for the Harvard men
was found in the stiff practice of the
varsity eleven on Soldiers field this af-
ternoon. 1t was the last scrimmage
before the Yale game. The men work
ed together as a unit and showed that
they are capable of better football than
at any time before this season. The
practice was secret and big crowd
Of undergraduates was massed outside
the field gates waiting for information
of what was going on inside. During
the early part Of the practice only
Head Coach Farley and Coachers Lewis
Haughton and Norman Cabot were in
side the fence but the other -coachers
were admitted later. The varsity team
was made to play with exceptionable
fierceness, but no one was hurt. It ham
six extra men were needed to bolster up
that team.
The most interesting feature was the
temperance Of Sugden at center, indi-
eating that he will play in the Yale
game against Holt, bringing these two
men together as in their freshman game
three years ago The coachers put
Garrick, Force and Lyon against Sug-
den and he outplayed all three, sur
prising improvement in form over his
work for the past week. Yesterday
Sugden was taken off both the varsity
and second elevens and Force sent to
the former and Garrick, a freshman, to
the latter. 1t has been decided to have
Carl Marshall available for goal kick
ing should the opportunity come in
stead Of Barnard, because the latter
work has been very cratic, In the
Dartmouth game Barnard missed two
goals and Leo Daily had to kick the
third one.
The lineup to-day was: Mills, left
end; Shea, left tackle; Barnard, left
guard; Sugden, center; A. Marshall,
right guard; Knowlton, right tackle;
Bowditch, right end; C. Marshall, quar-
terback; Herman, left halfback; Put
nam, right halfback; Graydon, full
back.
There will be open practice to-mor-
row afternoon when the undergraduate
body, headed by a band, will march on
the field, singing songs and cheering the
men.
In the evening the second team will
break training and the undergraduates
will meet at the Harvard Union, listen
to addresses by Major Higginson and
others and rehearse songs for the big
game.

COAL STRIKE INQUIRY,
Continued from First Page.)

plan to-day by their counsel agreeing
to make public the names Of the men
who petitioned the commission. When
the attorneys for the 'non-striking"
workers, as Chairman Gray designated
them and who numbered about 1000,
made demand to the commission for
20 per cent increase in wages with
no reduction in hours, their attorneys
desired to withhold the names of the
persons they represented. The commits
sion, however, decided they could not
be a party to such plan Of secrecy.
In connection with the nom union fea-
ture of the investigation, Mr.. Mitchell
announced that he is also representing
thousands of non-union men who
struck with the unionists and that all
the workmen would abide by the
award of the arbitrator, cor get out
Of the union
Mr.. Mitchell's testimony to-day con-
tanned little that was new to the COM
missioners and that of Mr.. Roberts
was of general character, regarding
the economic and sociological condi-
tons in the anthracite coal country.
The commissioners, while regretting
they have to do so, are still reminding
both sides that they would like to have
the submission of testimony expedited.
Chairman Gray, several times during
the day, interrupted.
1t has been suggested that counsel
for both sides agree to rules for the
submission Of evidence; blu nothing
has yet been done looking toward that
end.
In the course of his examination by
Mr.. Darrow in the afternoon Mr.. Rob-
erts furnished statistics showing that
the anthracite fields covered 4S0 square
miles. Out Of q total population Of
900 people he said that 100000 were
directly dependent on the mines.
Answering questions by Mr.. Wolver-
ton, DR.. Roberts said there were four
methods of payment in the anthracite
