HARVARD'S NARROW ESCAPE
DEFEATS AMHERST BY SMALL
 MARGIN OF 6 TO o. j..
Minor College Seemingly outpiayed the
 Crimson Eleven Much of the Time Only Score Made tn the Second Half When Lindsay of Harvard was Pushed

Over for n Touchdown.
 Cambridge, Oct. S.--The Amherst foot ball team beaten 2S to by Yale held Harvard down to six points this after noon and much of the time seemingly outplayed the Crimson eleven. In the middle of the second half Harvard pushed the ball to Amherst's eight yard line where Lindsay was sent through for the only touchdown of the game. Barnard kicked an easy goal. Twice Harvard was within scoring distance. but tumble or the fine defense of the visitors prevented a touchdown. The interference of the Crimson team was poorly formed while the backs started very slowly and failed to take advari- tage of the holes opened up by the linemen. On the other hand Amherst played snappy game, forcing Harvard to kick a number of times and although not getting within the Crimson twenty five yard line, they kept Harvard con- tinually on the jump. The game opened very favorably for Amherst, for after the kickoff was Burns gained 26 yard around Jones' end and aided by two center plays brought the ball to Harvard's 40-yard line. Af- ter another gain of yards tumble gave the ball to Harvard. Amherst was steadily pushed back to her 15- yard line, but tumble by Penney gave the ball to Amherst. But the visitors could gain and then Marshall tried a goal from the field from Arflherst's 2O- yard line being directly in front ct the goal posts. The ball went wide and the half ended with the ball in Harvard possession on her own 1o-yard line.
 In the middle of the second half Lind say took the ball through Arnherst's right tackle eight yards for a touch down. Barnard kicked a goal. From this point Harvard played much strong CT football but was only able to get te Amherst's three-yard line when time was called. Lineup:

Tempornry Relief for ctnoinnati.

Cincinnati, O., Oct. s.--Temporary re- lief from the pressure of the coal scarcity in Cincinnati is in sight in a novel way. Eight towboats at Point Pleasant, at the mouth of the Kanawha river are ready to start between nnid- night and daylight tonight with one million bushels of coal. The rise in the Ohio is to be augmented by throwing down all the dams in the KanaWha. This, it is understood will produce a sufficient depth of water to bring the barges to this city. r .c3

PRES. MITCHELLIN NEW YORK
HURRIEDLT LEAVES WILKES BARRE FOR THE METROPOLIS.

Philadelphia at About the Same Time and the Fact is Regarded as signih- cant-MitcheII and Two District PFesi- dents Called on Them at Fifth Avenue Hotel Late Last NIght-strike Leaders Negative Reply to the FresIdent's Proposition.
 New York, Oct. S.-President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers association arrived here tonight with the district presidents, having left Wilkesbarre hurriedly MT. Mitchell had the appearance of having been un- der a severe mental and physical strain, but assured questioners that he was in good health, though tired.
 At 10 o'clock MT. Mitchell called up Wilkesbarre by telephone, the reason being that he had expected some tele- grams which he did not find awaiting him. Shortly after this he turned to the newspaper men and said:
 Information has been conveyed to me by telephone that total of 260 local unions have reported unanimous votes against resuming work. The men are not deterred from going to work through any fear of bodily harm but are resolved to remain out until the dif- ferences between them and the opera tors are arbitrated, or until they are ordered to return by their leaders.
 Nlas ank fhoF fifty local unions to hear from. The unanimous action includes the votes of strikers not members of the union, but who were present at the meetings and voted with the union men,"
 At Il o'clock President Mitchell and two of the district presidents went from the Ashland house to the Fifth Avenue hotel, where Senators Quay and Penrose of Pennsylvania and Louis N. Hammer ling of WiIkesbarre were registered. President Mitchell's conference with Senators Quay and Penrose lasted fol an hour and three quarters. At its conclusion MT. Mitchell returned to the Ashland House. He declined to say g word as to his talk with the senators and the latter left word with the clerk at the Fifth Avenue Hotel that they would not see any one, instructing the clerk to refuse the cards of any per. sons who might wish to interview them
 Philadelphia, Oct S-The impression prevails here that United States Sena- tors Quay and Penrose are still endeav- bring to effect a settlement of the strike The two senators went to New York late this afternoon but declined to state the object of their visit. The hasty departure of President Mitchell from Wilkesbarre for New York and the fact that the senator left here at about the same time is regarded as suggest i've.

 Vague Statement Issued Saying That
 the Committee wiii Meet Again Octo-
 Der l4-President Baer Says He Knows
 "Nothing About a Com mtttee."
 Philadelphia, Oct S.-The visit to this city of the committee representing the National Association of Manufacturers for the purpose of conferring with the presidents of the anthracite coal carry ing roads who last week met President Roosevelt and the officials of the min- ers' union at Washington, appears to have been fruitless. The committee ar rived here early this morning and spent the greater part of the day at the Man ufacturers' club awaiting the appear ance of the presidents, but none of the latter answered, in person at least, the request of the committee for a confer ence. Tonight the committee issued the following vague statement:
 "The committee of manufacturers came to Philadelphia after meeting John Mitchell and his associates at Buff falo on Tuesday, for the purpose of | considering measures by which the coal strike could be ended. and this commit tee will meet again October 14.
 ID. M. Parry, president National As sociation of Manufacturers,
 George H. Barbour,
 "Richard Young, New York, Frank Leake, Philadelphia" | After the members of the commission had breakfasted they despatched a messenger to the offices of President Baer, of the Philadelphia and Reading road, announcing that they were ready to meet the operators. The nature of MT. Baer's reply is not known but in answer to question the railroad presi- dent said: II know nothing about a committee" He declined to make any further statement.
 President Parry said invitations to meet the committee had been sent to all of the presidents who had met Presi- dent Roosevelt last week and that fa- vorable replies had been received from three of them. He would not, however, divuige their names
 During the afternoon President Par ry, in an interview, said: "The strike has reached what we now believe is the crisis. We were in hopes of meeting short notice they received they were un- short notict they received they were un- able to be present.

 Let the Law Take Its Own Course.
 Newborn, Tenn, Oct. S-Garfeld Bur ley and Curtis Brown. two negroes, were hanged here tonight by mob of 800 persons.
 Burley on Saturday last shot and in stantly killed D. Flatt. well known farmer near Dyersburg. Flatt had traded horses with the negro and the latter demanded that the trade be de- cIared off. Flatt refused to accede to this proposition and while on his way home was shot down by Burley.
 A posse had been hunting the mur- derer and last night located him in a negro cabin in Huffman, Ark. While being brought to Dyersburg, Burley confessed the killing, duplicating Cur tis Brown as an accessory. Both men were lodged in jail at Dy- ersburg to-day A mob soon appeared at the Jail and demanded possession of the prisoners. Criminal Court Judge Maidon made a strong plea that the law be allowed to deal with the case. saying that he would instruct the grand jury to find indictments at once and that the negroes would be placed on trial tomorrow
 Judge Maidon said that as the evil dence was complete there would be no | doubt of a conviction. The mob would l not listen to the judges reasoning and | forcibly took possession of the two men. ! A start was made for Newborn, which place was reached at S:S0 o'clock to- night. Ropes were procured and the | two men were taken to telephone pole | where they were securely tied face to face. At given word they were strung up.

YALE DEFEATS WESLEYAN.
Score 35 to O-Methodists Nearly Scored
 In Last Half.

Score 35 to 0-M ethOufses Neariy sc"reu
 in Last Half.
 Yale played a great game of football in the first half of the game with Wes- leyan on Yale field yesterday afternoon and ran the visitors completely off their feet In the second half of the contest the lineup of the blue was almost en- tirely changed and the Methodists came within ten yards of scoring, when time was called. The substitutes went all to pieces and it was fortunate for Yale that the team in the first half ran up a substantial score.
 The feature of the first half of the game was run of forty-f1ve yards by Metcaif. He caught the ball on the kickoff and made a typical Johnny De- Saulies dash through the Wesleyan team. The line men were veritable stone wall in the initial half, and the Wesleyan team was absolutely help less.
 The Yale subs in the last hale fun1- bIed the ball with great regularity. The men in the line held their Wesleyan op- ponents, and Yale was penalized time and again for this offense. The sensa- ton of this half was Wards run of 105 yards with the ball, resulting in a touchdown. Wesleyan kicked off to Yale's five-yard line. Ward caught the bail and went the entire length of the field. The score at the end of the first half stood 22 to and at the end of the game 35 to in Yale's favor. HARVARD. POSITION. AMHERST.

WAY DOWN EAST
Will be Seen at the Grand Tomorrow
Night, January lst, 1908.

In "Way Down East Manager
VIM. A. Brady has met with one Of
those opportunities that come to but
few and for which we all are anxious
ly looking The play is one of the
greatest dramatic successes of the last
quarter century, and has made its for
tunate owners not only rich but lrecog-
nized as standing in the very front
rank of theatrical managers.
The great success of the play how
ever, has not been achieved without
much labor and expense, and to both,
Mr.. Brady who produced it and Mr..
Jos. Grismer who elaborated and stag
ed it, is due unbounded credit.
The play tells story so simple and
yet so powerful, that it appeals at
once. The pathos however is only
one side of the picture, for the quaint
New England characters who fit
about the stage provide plenty of the
element of humor to relieve the ten
sion and give opportunity for hearty
laughter. The tears and joy follow
each other like the sun and showers
of Springtime, and in the end the
benign influence of justice done and
virtue rewarded, soothes and satisfies
like the green of peaceful landscape.

home has cost about $50, 200, is built
of pressed brick and stone, with hand

possesses all the conveniences, elec-

in the New York Sun says Mr.. Bryan
is rich man. His newspaper is firm

thousand dollars year is a conserva-

from il. He began with 60, 900 circu-

feed at the Mitson place, when the
tumbling rod connecting the power

fracture of the right arm few inches
below the shoulder. Drs. Emmons
and Daubney were called and reduced
the fractured, leaving Mr.. Masters
resting as easily as possible. 1t was
a very unfortunate accident for a
man of his age, but all hope that he
will speedily recover.
On Wednesday night Ole Erickson,

Judge Mcpherson, of the federal
court has banded down an opinion in
the case of the United States VS..
the Adams Express company, in
which the corporation was indicted
for carrying on the business of a re-
tail liquor dealer without having paid
the special tax as required by law.
The federal court, in its opinion,
holds that the express company is
only an agent of the venders in carry
ing liquors and collecting and return
ing money. AS the express company
did not sell liquors it was not engag-
ed in the business of liquor dealer.
The court, in this opinion, has over
ridden the decision of the Supreme
Court of Iowa. The packages of
liquor were sent by liquor house
at Dallas, ILL.,, to parties at Birming-
ham, C. o. d. The express company
was indicted, the government claim
ing title was transferred to the COM
pany when it received c. o. d. pack
ages.
