was yesterday sent to Principal l.. C. Hull,
of the Shortridge High School, regarding
the eligibility of players il the approach

letter alluded to dug" Dean, whose right
to take part in the game has caused much
comment among the followers Of both

the conditions in the North Side institu-
ton as the M. T. H.. s. students see them.
1t also states that the Manual Training

Purdue Faculty and Students CeIe-
brate Saturdays victory.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. T..Never be-
fore was the Purdue chapel the scene of
such an enthusiastic demonstration as at
this mornings celebration over the victory
of Saturday. Cheers and songs rang out
in the historic hall, and the faculty Joined
with the students in making the affair a
success. President Stone opened the meet
ing by con~gratulating the team, and he
was followed by nearly every member OF
the faculty. Prof. Severance Burrage al
luded to the fact that physicians say that
the hole is the most healthful part of the
New England %doughnut. IF this is So"
he continued. Indiana should have gone
home in good health"
Capt. Ira L. Reeves, commandant of the
cadet corps, told Of an incident connected
with the firing of the artillery after the
score Of 80, made by Purdue, but the sup
ply of powder gave out and the powder
bags used in the cannon charges gave out
before the powder. Captain Reeves called
for volunteer powder bags and loyal stu
dents brought their socks. These" Cap
tain Reeves said, were so full of holes that
the shortage in the powder supply is easily
explained; it leaked out"
Captain Leslie, Long John" Miller and
Quarterback Osborne then spoke and were
heartily cheered. From now on the cry.
Prepare for Notre Dame will be heard
and there is great confidence in Purdue's
men rested to-day. but will line up to-mor-

New York Evening Post.


What most forcibly strikes one about
the destructive fire which last night swept
over the unfinished East river bridge Is
the apparent needlessness of the disaster.
IL, as seems likely, the cause of the fire
was simply the carelessness OF a workman
with his pipe or portable furnace, the case
illustrates anew the limitations of the
most perfect system of supervision. At
the end of all administrative machinery
you come down to the human agent, who
frequently has just about as much sense
of moral responsibility as the historic Chi
cago cow. The damage to the bridge cables
and the consequent delay appear TO be less
than was feared last night. But IL Is OBJ
vious that the public and the city govern
ment should insist upon the strictest test
of the scorched and twisted structure be-
fore the work In continued. Naturally no
one will be more jealous In this matter
than the engineering force of the bridge.
which must realize that this Is a case
where official optimism would be criminal.
If the fire stands chiefly as a melancholy
monument to somebody's shiftlessness ft
at least afforded 20 the fire department a
splendid opportunity for heroism. which IL
fully utilized. Too much cannot be said
In praise of the men who climbed the pier
amid a rain OF red-hot bolts and incandes-
cent wire, and fought the IRE hand TO hand
in that treacherous maze of heated metal
and blazing scaffoldings.

GUNBOAT BOGOTA DAMAGED.

Insurgents,

SAN JOSE. Costa Rica, Nov. 17.-Accord-
ing to news reaching here through Colom-
bian revolutionary sources, a battle has
taken place between the Colombian govern
ment and the insurgent forces at Aqua
Dulce. The government gunboats Chucuito
and Bogota were on their way hither TO
take over and convey back with them the
war vessel Poas, which formerly belonged
TO Costa Rica and was purchased by the
Colombian government at its sale by auc-
ton early in September. The Bogota, ac-
cording 10 these reports. is now on her way
back TO Panama in a disabled condition as
a result of the engagement. five officers
and fifteen of her crew being said to have
been killed. The whereabouts of the revo-
lutiOnary gunboat Padilla is unknown.
The Costa Rica authorities refuse TO per-
init Colombia TO arm the Poas at this port
and the vessel is being steadily watched to
see that no arms or ammunition are taken
on board.

SETTLEMENT is in SIGHT
BASEBALL MEETING IN CHICAGO Is
MAKING PROGRESS.
Believed that Question of Territory
Has Been Decided-The Dispose
ton of Players.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-After an all-day ses-
sion the minor baseball league magnates
were but little nearer a definite settlement
of their difficulties than ever when they
adjourned tonight for another meeting to-
morrow morning.
While the members of the national board
were decidedly reticent, it is believed that
the question of territory was practically
decided on and that the disposition of play
ers was all that kept the magnates from
a settlement. The American Association
seems to be in the ascendency, with but
little question that that league will be a
member of the National Association next
year.
Secretary Farrell, of the National. adj
mitted after adjournment tonight that con-
siderable progress had been made toward
peace, but refused to go into details.
