oN THE PHILIPPINE TRADE BARRED FROM NEBRASKA
Cooperative Home Companies and
Tontine Schemes Condemned
by the Supreme Court.

Special to The Journal.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 20.-All cooperative
home companies, selling policies and pay
ing a specified amount when policy ma
lures, are barred from Nebraska. The
supreme court, in a decision handed down
last night. Gusts such concerns from the
state. The decision is directed against
the Home Cooperative company of st.
Louis and the Nebraska Home company Of
Omaha.
Attorney General Prout attacked the
validity of the charter of the Nebraska
company and asked the supreme court to
dissolve it. The judges held that it was
violation of the anti-lottery laws.
The companies charged So for a policy.
AS soon as it is written, the customer
draws a number. When the number is
reached in paying out. the customer may
draw out $4,000. 1t is a tontine scheme
pure and simple and finds numerous pat
rons among laboring men,.
In Nebraska a judge must invite
prisoner to talk before pronouncing SEN
tence The supreme court has SO held
in the case of John Mccormick of Ne
braska City, who shot a resort-keeper d
year ago and was sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary. The judges
hold that, while asking a prisoner to eN-
press himself why sentence should not
be pronounced is mere Formally, it is
on the statute books and must be OBJ
served until the legislature repeats it.

HARVARD COACHES ENCOURAGED

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 2O.-A1uch ENCOURAGE
menu Tor the Harvard men found in the stiff
Practlce yesterday OF the varsity eleven on Sol
dlers' field. 1t the last scrimmage before
tlfe Yale game.
The men worked together as unit and showed
enat they are capable of better football than at
any time betore this season. The practice was
secret and big crowd of undergraduate ties was
massed outside the field gates waiting for nfor:
mat1on OF what was going on inside. During the
early part of the practice only Head Coach Far
ley and, Coaches Lewis, Haugh and Norman
Cabot were inside the fence, but the other coach
es were admitted later.
The varsity team was made to play with excep-
tlonal nerceness, but no one was hurt. It ham
mered the second eleven badly that six extra
men were needed to bolster up that team The
most interesting eature was the reappearance of
sugaen at center Indicating that nc will play
in the Yale game against Holt. bringing these
TWO men together in their freshmen game,
three years ago. The coaches put Carrck Force
and Lyon against Sugden ard he outplayed all
ms work for the past week. Yesterday Sugden
was taken off both the varsity and second eIev-
ems anu Force sent to the former and Carrick
4 freshman, to the latter.
1T has been decided to have Carl Marshal,
available for goal kicking should the oportu-
nifty come. ms sad of Barnard. because the lat
ters work has been very erratic. In the Dart
mouth game Barnard missed two goals and Leo
DAILY had to Kick the third one.
The lineup Yesterday was: Mills left end:
Shea, left tackle; Barnard, left guard: Sugden
center; \. Marshall. right guard; >Knowlton
right tackle; Bowditch, right end c, Marshall
quarterback; kernan. left halfback; Putnam,
right halfback: Graydon. fullback. .-.- ,
There Will be. open practice this afternoon
when the undergraduates, headed by band
will march to the field singing sogns and cheer

IN THE PRIZE RING

Marvin Hart Of Louisville last night gave Phil
adelphin Jack O'Rrien one of the hardest fights
OF his career at the Penn Art Athletic Club The
men spared six rounds and O'Brien's showing
in the last round disappointed his friends.
In the first three rounds the bout was all
OBr1ens, who also had the fourth byaa shade.
BEGINNING with the fifth the bout was clearly
Harris The Kentuckian rushed in without pay
Ing the slightest attention to Jacks jabs. In d
clinch toward the end of the round Hart was
wrestled to the floor and he took the limit. AS
O'Brien and landed two hard blows on the lat
ter's body with telling effect - :',.~
In the sixth round Hart started to rush things;
but In his overanxiety he swung wildly: O.Brien
could not withstand his boring tactics and lost
his guard just for instant, wien Hart landed
a short rtght-hander OH the jaw. O'Brien went
down and after struggling to his feet began hug
O'Brien's body. These punches evidently hurt
O'Brien, who slipped twice. The house was
In an uproar and for the first time O'Brien was
Kissed by his admirers.
Hart himself was showing the effects Of his
hard work and though he nit O'Brien often above
the body, he could not get in the punch that
would have secured the verdict for him.
Bids for the twenty-five round glove contest
between Young Corbett of Denver and Terry Nc
Govern OF Brooklyn, were opened in the office
of the Cincinnati Enquirer yesterday by C. E.
LaInbertson, the sporting editor, who author
lied to represent both sides, as neither Corbett
nor McGovern was on hand. -. $3.50
The only clubs to bid on the contest were the
Penn Art club Of Philadelphia and the Hayes
Valley Athletic club Of San Francisco. Neither
club offered guarantee for the match
The bids were wired to Sam Harris. manager
Of Terry McGovern, and Young Corbett In the
east, and they decided not to accept either bid
for the present, as the required forfeit OF
$4,000 did not accompany the same. '".
The bo4ersahaye agreed to leave the bids open
time to post the necessary forfeit required by the
articles OF aSreemnt for the match.

Special to The Journal.
Washington, Nov. 2O.-The import and
export trade figures. Of the Philippine ar
chipelago for the twelve months ending
June 80, 1902, about to be published by
the bureau Of insular affairs of the war
department in connection with returns for
the two preceding years, and complete
statistics from date of American occupa :
ton, show continuance of the improve
ment in trade that has prevailed since
the inception of United States control.
This is gratifying when it Is considered
that the ravages Of rinderpest, the plague
of cholera, and the locusts, seriously in
terrupted business in many sections of
the archipelago.
While the showing made by. this cOun-
try on the basis of direct shipments to
and from the islands, discloses a marked
increase during the past few years, and
in itself indicates much activity on the
part Of the American manufacturer, new
ertheless these figures, as they relate to
imports, are exclusively of large purchases
made in this country entered at the Phil
ippine custom houses free of duty for use
of the United States military departments,
the insular government, or that of it's sub
ordinate branches.
-. During the fiscal year 1902 there was
imported merchandise, exclusive of gold
showing an increase of nearly 100000
over. the same period of 1901 and exceeds
all previous figures for any single year
in the history of the archipelago.
The total. importations received from
date of American occupation to and includ-
ing Junea30, 1902, amounted to 500, 1876, 694
on which the total duty Appropriated over
$22, 300, 900, or, based On complete yearly
periods covered by the last three f1sca
years, it would appear that an average
annual import trade of more than $780,
900 has been maintained, the United
States sending merchandise to the amount
of s4,o35,24s in 1902. as against s2,S55,6SE
in 1901 and $1,657,701 in 1900, or an in
crease for the past year over 1900 Of 14a
per cent.
The export figures of the archipelago ir
the fiscal year 1902 were larger, with but
two exceptions-1S70 and 1S89-than ir
any year of it's history. The last f1sca
year shows an increase over 1901, $23,
9276 worth of merchandise being eX-
ported, of which. the United Kingdom anG
United States received nearly SIG, 600, 00(
in practically. equal proportions. How
ever, the transportation Of hemp to this
tcountrX for the past year coming from the
United, Kingdom, places the United States
far in advance as the leading market fol
Philippine products at the present time.
From date of American occupation tc
and including June 80, 1902, this trade
amounted to S79, 26O;607, and the duty col
lected nearly 100000.
