A Football Psalm Of Life.

Life is real. Life is earnest!
And to slave is not it's goal;
But to kick the festive pigskin
'Twixt the posts, above the pole.
On the gridirons line of battle
Make the struggle of your life,
Lest the padded foes. like cattle.
Drive you down the field of STRIFE.
Lives of football men remind us
We can show what we are WORTH
And, departing leave behind us
Cripples scattered DER the eartn.
Let US, then, be up and doing.
Kick the pigskin all the day.
Ne'er retreating. e'er pursuing,
Naming comrades while we may.

SAYS EDEN AND FALL
OF NAN ARE FICTION
tiOn Is Responsible for the New
Awakening.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-In a SER
mon on the life of the late Herbert
Spencer, the Rev. DR.. Minot j. Savage.
in the Unitarian Church OF the Mes
siah, has given the theory of evolu-
ton credit for having forever de-
stroyed intelligent belief on the part
of anybody in the Garden Of Eden,
Adam and Eve or the fall Of man.
Evolution" he asserted, has forever
removed those stories, and kindred
ones, to the land Of myth, where they
belong"
In concluding his remarks, DR.. Saw
age said:
Humanity has been on this earth
two or three hundred thousand years
at least. Humanity, however. slowly.
has been evolving, claiming from the
far-off beginning there never has been
any fall. Evolution has wrought out
not the fall of man, but the ascent Of
man. That means the complete re-
construction Of the entire theology OF
CEr3stendom. It is coming, it has got
to come. There are thousands OF
churches to-day in which the Eden
story is quietly referred to as though
it were poetry or alIegory. There are
thousands of others where it Is quietly
laid to one side"

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-Plans for
the invasion Of Colombia by troops of
the United States are being considered
secretly by the general staff Of the
army.
There was q long conference to-day
between Lieutenant General Young,
chief Of staff. and General J. Frank
lin Bell, who has been tentatively
elected 10 command the United States
expedition TO Colombia in case war
develops between the two countries.
This conference is officially explained
as relating 10 matters connected with
the general service school at Fort
Leavenworth. There is trustworthy
Information. however, that Generals
Young and Bell talked about the pro-
posed military expedition to the 18TH
mus Of Panama.
Military authorities are paying no
attention 10 the pacific assurances of
General Reyes and the Colombian au-
thorities and are considering the pres
ent situation as If hostilities with Co
lonbia were imminent. According 10
Secretary Root IL is the duty OF the
general STAFF 10 prepare plans for any
possible emergency.
The general staff, in mapping out a
plan for possible war with Colombia,
has determined TO follow pro-
gramme. which. it is hoped, will make
the conflict as short as possible. To
90 this il viii be necessary, il is said,
10 invade Colombia and pursue the
enemy TO his own territory.
Information has been called for by
the general staff showing that the
ports Of Barranquilla and Buenaven-
tura are being considered as possible
landing places for American troops
and that the objective point Of two
military forces landing at those places
viii be Bogota- BY forcing the fight
ing in Colombia, il is believed, the Co
lombian troops viii be diverted from
the isthmus.
It has been determined, in the event
Of sending a military expedition to Co
lombia or the isthmus, to use one of
the Porto Rican battaHons for this
service. because Of the advantage to be
obtained from Spanish-speaking SOL
diers with the Americans.
Major Robert L. Howe, command
ing one Of the Porto Rican battalions,
is IN Washington on his way back to
Porto Rico and was at the War De-
partment to-day. General Rafael

ARMED MEN
KEEP WATCH
OVER LAND
Railroad and an Oil
Company at Odds
in Kern.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


BAKERSFIELD. Dec. IA serious
clash has occurred at Sunset between
the forces of the Consolidated Califor-
mia Oil Fields Company and the Santa
Fe Railroad Company over the rights
of way of the two corporations. 1t is
reported tonight that armed men are
guarding the oil company's domain and
holding in check the employees Of the
railroad
Persons who arrived here to-day re-
port that the oil company hired a num-
Der of teams and drivers, paying. it
is said, S. a day in order to get men
at once, and tore up the railroads
grading across a tract of forty acres
north of the Alameda property. After
doing this a vacant house was moved
on to the right Of way and guards were
placed in it to keep the railroad com
pany's laborers from working.
From, what can be learned, the i'm
mediate cause of the trouble was that
the Consolidated Oil FIELDS Company de-
mands right of way for it's pipe line
across the same property and is will
ing to allow the Santa Fe to cross the
land, which belongs to one of its afil-
lated companies, only on condition that
it is given certain privileges in this re-
gard.
The trouble is said to have been
brewing for some time past; in fact
ever since the Santa Fe commenced
building it's extension, which comes into
direct competition with the pipe line
which is being constructed by the Con-
soIidated California Oil FIELDS Company.

a Trial.
Special Dispatch to The cali.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE manage
ment of the Majestic Theater an
nounced tonight that it would dis
charge its men ushers and put women
in their places. This decision was
reached to-day after Manager F1aherty
had final talk with a good looking
woman, who says she is Miriam Foster.
Miss Foster appeared at the theater
few days ago and demanded a Job,
but was told there was none vacant in
the business department, to which she
wished to be assigned. She would not
entertain the suggestion of going be-
hind the footlights. saying:
None of that for me- | know some
thing about that end of the theatrical
business, for l have had a try at it.
What l want is to break into the busi-
ness end of it. There's where the
money is to be had
Manager Flaherty told her there was
not single place vacant. She ap-
peared at the theater to-day. When
told there was no vacancy she sug-
gested that women ushers be appoint
ed. When the press agent was invited
i'll to talk this over he seized upon the
woman usher idea like hungry man.
Miss Foster said she was willing to
be an usher and F'laherty commissioned
her to go and find others. Tonight
she reported she had found seven other
women, all good looking, who wanted
such places and she and her seven
maids will begin work tomorrow at
the matinee

PREPARING TO FIGHT

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-yigorous
measures are being taken by the
Board of Health to prevent an out
break of smallpox in New York, and
to that end it has appointed sixty-four
new inspectors, who will cooperate
with the large force of regular inspec-
tors in searching for persons who have

smallpox have been reported lately in
large cities near here and the authori-
ties are determined to forestall the
disease in New York.
All schools, tenement houses, de-

where people congregate are to be
visited by the inspectors and efforts
will not be relaxed until the depart

MARINES LAND ON IsrHMUs.
Reports OF Colombian Advance Lead
TO Naval Activity.

10 Naval Activity.
COLON, Dec. IA company of ma
rines from the United States cruiser
Prairie was landed here to-day. under
the command OF Captain S. d. Butler
and Immediately started by train for
Panama. The destination of the ma
rines is said 70 have been Yaviza. up
the San Miguel Gulf and Tucari River.
It is believed that the decision Of the
naval authorities to station marines
at Xaviza may be owing to the reports
that Colombian troops have been seen
in that direction, but up to the pres
ent time there is no reason to believe
that any large force is under orders
10 march on Panama from Cauca. The
opinion seems TO prevail that the few
Colombian soldiers seen were proba bly,
scouts who were endeavoring to learn
what preventive and protective meas
ures were being taken by the re-
public Of Panama, and that il was their
presence which gave rise to the cx-
aggeratod rumors Of a speedy attack
by Colombia upon the isthmus.
II is more likely that the movement
OF marines TO Yaviza is in conformity
with the policy Of the naval author
ities TO concentrate forces at points
which offer the best facilities for get
ting immediate information of a move
ment Of Colombian troops toward Pan
anna and az the same time affording
the marines some relief from their con-
fnement to the ships. The. marines
carried with them all requisites for
camp life and also a number of ma-
chine guns.

MARINES LAND IN KOREA.
Japanese BIuejackets Fire Upon Mob
of Rioters in MOkhe.


SEOUL, Dec. 1.-THE japanese land
ed marines at Mokphe yesterday to
suppress rioting during strike among
laborers. 1t is reported that they fired
upon the mob, killing several persons.
The strike was among Korean coolies
employed in the foreign concession.
which precipitated clashes among the
Koreans and Japanese. The affair, it
is believed, may cause local complica-
tions, and it is possible Russia may
send warship, should the Korean
Government resent the landing of ma
rines by Japan.
Mokphe is a town on the southwest
coast of Korea 1t has about 5000 in
habitants.
PARIS, Dec. 14.-No information has
been received here confirmatory of the
dispatch from Seoul announcing the
landing of marines at Mokphe, yester-
day, to suppress riot, but it is pointed
out that the landing of marines by
Japan would not be likely to provoke a
question, since, in her reply to the
Japanese demands, Russia acknowl-
edged the paramount character Of Jap
anese interests in Korea. Moreover,
the incident is regarded as being an IN
dication that japan is disposed to ac-
cept Russia's counter proposals, as she
is evidently active on the theory that
her interests in Korea cannot longer be
disputed.

BAILEY OF TEXAS SAYS
CUBAN BILL is VICIOUS
Pension Bill Dis
cussed in the
House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE House
was in session for a little more than
four hours to-day, during which time
there was a general discussion on va
ried topics. The pension appropriation
bill was before the House, but no con-
clusiCn upon it was reached The 18TH
mian canal and the republic of Pana-
ma, the tariff, tobacco interests and
questions affecting labor were debated.
The House, upon convening. adopted
concurrent resolution providing for
a recess adjournment from December
10 to January 4. The Speaker, by
unanimous consent, appointed Delegate
KalaninanOle Of Hawaii as a member
Of the Committee on Territories
A joint resolution was adopted pro-
viding that the last naval sppropria-
tion bill shall not be so construed as
to deprive midshiDmen at sea Of COM
mutation of rations.
MANY QUESTIONS DEBATED.
The House then went into commit
tee of the whole, with Lawrence Of
Massachusetts in the chair. for the fur
ther consideration Of the pensions ap-
preparation bill. Adams (R.) of Penn
sylvania spoke on the Panama situa-
ton. He defended the course pursued
by this Government in connection with
the canal question and the policy OF
the administration in dealing with the
Central American situation.
Gaines Cd Of Texas spoke on tobacco
interests, asserting the need Of legisla-
ton in behalf Of the grower.
Lind CD Of Minnesota, speaking on
the tariff. said that two of the great
est manufacturing nations of the earth
had reached the highest points in their
greatness. one under a protective pol
icy, the other under free trade There
fore the right cOuIds not be claimed for
protection nor the wrong for free trade.
In his opinion there would be no free
trade in this country. Lind argued for
freer trade relations with Canada. say
ing that we received raw material from
the Canadians and sold them Industrial
products.
ADAMS REPLIES TO BEALL.
Bean CD Of Texas said that while
the Democrats wanted a canal they
wanted it in an honorable way. He
asserted that il was known to the rep
resentatives OF the United States on
the isthmus that the revolt was to oc-
cur, and it also was known in Wash
ington.
Adams, explaining the dispatch to
Consul Ehrman sent by Secretary Hay
and quoted by Bean. in which infor-
nation was asked concerning a "re-
ported uprising" said the Secretary
had sent the message in view Of the
information contained in an Associated
Press dispatch.
Baker Cd Of New York, speaking
on the subject of labor, contended that
cOmpensating wages were not given.
He cited the testimony as to wages
taken before the Anthracite Coal Com
mission, and said it showed conditions
Of slavery" He said the United States
Steel Company sold stock to its en-
ployes at figure thirty points higher
than present quotations. In New York.
he said, the trusts squeezed the labor
ing man until he was willing to work
at low wages. He referred TO the ship
building trust, connecting it with the
steel trust, and declared that the stock
