THE CHOSEN ELEVEN.
Selection Of Probable Members Of the
s. u. I. Foot Ball Team.

s. u. I. Foot Ball Team.
Special to Times Republican.
/ Iowa City. Sept. 30.-Eleven Univer-
sity OF Iowa players went to the train
ing table today. The fortunate bunch
included White, Jones, Briggs, Coult-
hard, Hollenbeck, Ochiltree. Atkinson,
Durkee, Buckley, Howell and Seiberts-
the men whose excellent and consistent
work the past three weeks had led to
recent forecasts of this selection.
Freddy Griffith, the dashing quar-
ter of last year, is not named in this
list, but not because he is not proba-
BILE member Of the coming team. He
lives here. and thus he will have the
advantage Of home table.
The other men, after series of con-
situations with the management, have
decided to test the cooperative plan in
training, and have leased a kitchen
dining room and basement. There the
boys will secure, by their own selection,
just such food as they need and desire,
and it will be cooked, In the main, just
as they dictate. From an economical
standpoint, 1t is believed, this new plan
will also prove advantageous, as the ex-
penses of training and feeding a large
number of men thruout season may
he cut down largely, Manager McClain
thinks. IL the management runs
things" itself.
This is novelty at Iowa, and the
outcome will be looked forward to with
interest.
The twelve men above-named are not
alone, however, in the possibility of
making the eleven. There are several
new men who have shown up finely. and
they may be called on before the week
is out to take their places among the
elite. It is quite probable. however.
that - barring accidents - the first
game with the State NormaD next
Saturday, Oct. 4. will see the dozen here
in noted in uniforms on the gridiron.

Supreme Court Docket Light On
Criminal Cases Famous
Hoot Case
SENT AN INTERNAL MACHINE
Tho Homer Holland Murder Case
Comes Up From a Lower Court
Bank Robbers Get Rehsarins and
Several Other Interesting Civil Suits
Will Be Heard Again.
Special to Times-Republican.


Des Moines, Sept. 3O.-The sixty
pages of the docket for the supreme
court term for October which begins
the 9TH of the month contain a smaller
number of criminal cases than usual,
and few that are of great Importance.
The famous case against Jerome Hoot,
from, Blackhawk county, is on for a
hearing. Hoot was accused of sending
an internal machine to his wife and
was convicted. The case had many
sensational features and was stubborn
* contested. Inasmuch as the present
attorney general was in the case in the
lower court defending Hoot his assis-
tant has prepared the papers for the
state. The Sarah Kuhn case comes up
again on rehearing, or application for a
rehearing. It Is expected that, Col
Mackeye, and Judge Hamilton will
make an interesting argument and
plea for rehearing in this case to get
a new trial for their client who is
serving a life sentence. w. w. Ames,
OF Dubuque, wants rehearing. He is
the SON. law of the famous DR.. Spin
ney, of Des Moines and Omaha, who
has had his hands in all kinds of build
ing and loan and insurance schemes.
Ames was manaIer of one of Spinney's
companies and in his heydey spent
money lavishly but it was proved that
some of 1t did not belong to him. Phil
lips and Brooks the Buena Vista coun-
ty bank robbers under sentence of
death have hearing at this term Of
court. The principle involved in their
case has already been submitted to the
court in another case. The case Of
Ben Mcknight. OF Woodbury. county,
will be heard on appeal. The Hunter
case from Mt. Ayr In which Hunter
was convicted of killing Homer Hol-
land, former well known college ath-
lete. Is expected to attract some at
tention. United States District Attor-
ney Lewis Miles and Chairman Spence
OF the republican committee, are in this
Foster, OF Kossuth county. Is on the
docket but in as much as she has been
released and is living with the husband
she was convicted of trying to kill 1t
is probable the case will be stricken
from the docket. Among the many
rehearings asked for are the following:
Ruby j. Britt VS.. o. A. Hall and others.
involving valuable estate in Humboldt
county: Louis Faivre VS.. Manderschid,
from Woodbury. county, damages on
account OF liquor sold to husband;
and the Cedar Rapids Water company
VS.. Cedar Rapids, involving the legal
ity Of the water contract entered into
in Cedar Rapids. Judge Bishop will
make his first appearance on the bench
in place OF Judge Waterman resigned.
He has had under consideration all
summer the cases which We're assigned
to Judge Waterman except those In
which oral arguments were made and
will be prepared to file opinions like the
other judges.

Iowa City, Sept. so.-The fiercest
class scrap" in the history Of the
University of Iowa was waged for four
hours here yesterday afternoon. and be-
fore it was finished Merle Call lay help
less with a broken leg, under heap OF
fellow "scrappers." Call is the 19-year-
old nephew of Professor Leona Call,
of the chair of Greek, in the university.
and he is one of the leading members
Of the sophomore class.
The desperate attempts of the fresh
men to secure the baby and bottle that
the sophomores had suspended from a
high tree, resulted in a special attack
on Call. who was defending the base
of the tree. One man tripped him and
he was hurled down upon the adjacent
brick pavement, with about dozen
first year men on top of him. The
outer bone of his left leg snapped just
above the ankle and he was carried
to doctors Office, when the bunch
arose.
The fight was in progress from noon
to o'clock, and it was won by the
freshmen, whose members daringly slid
along telegraph wires. forty-five feet
above the ground and captured the
/ trophies. During the scrap" many
heads were made bloody, but no one
besides Call suffered seriously.

INTERNATIONAL MAcHlNIsrs.
Met Ia Washington to Consider v. p
Strike at Omaha.

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Sept. 3O.-The general
executive board of the International
Association OF Machinists began an ex-
ira session yesterday in Washington for
the purpose of considering the strike
of the machinists at the locomotive
works at Kingston, Ontario. and on
the Union Pacific system. James
O'Connell. president Of the national
Organization, who has been in Min
neapolis attending the convention of the
Employers and Employees association,
and who was expected in Omaha yes
terday, was forced to change his pro-
gram and to go direct to the national
capital, where he will be present at
the meetings OF the machinists.
Leading members of the strikers have
come to the conclusion that should the
strike on the Union Pacific fail and the
men be forced to return to work on the
piece work plan, it would mean the
beginning of a fight against the union
on the Oregon Short Line. Souther,
Pacific. Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton company. the Chicago & Alton, and
all other roads which are controlled by
Hartman. Therefore, the men feel
they are fighting for the life Of the
union as well as for their own bene-
fit.
But the strikers have no idea Of los
ing their fight and claim they are able
to hold out for an indefinite time.
The machinists are making an In
