FRANCE EXCITED OVER
FATAL AUTO ACCIDENTS
Campaign Against Speed Races Re.
opened as Result of Casualties
at Gallon.

PARIS, Nov 9.-Yesterday's two fatal
automobile accidents at Gallon, Depart
ment Of Eure, in which three men were
killed and five others seriously injured,
has reopened the campaign against au-
tomobile racing In France.
Auto adopts defend themselves by say
ing that yesterdays accidents occurred
before the races opened, but the public
protests point out that the accident
were the result of the recIlessness and
inexperience of the drivers in both cases.
and that precious lives were wantonly
sacrificed TO the maria Of speeding.
The accidents were to a great degree
due to a heavy fog. which overhung the
road. NJ. Danjean, who was to have
taken part in the races, while trying to
avoid a carriage which suddenly doomed
up out Of the fog. ran his car into a
ditch. The car turned over and fell on
Danjean, who was horribly mutiIated
The other accident occurred TO an auto
driven by a foreman of the Serpollet
firm Of builders and containing four
other fOremen Of the firm. The auto
was travelling at a high rate of speed
when, at an incline IN the road, II DASH
ed into a tree. NJ. Alex and 81. CuItin,
two Of the occupants. were crushed al
most TO a pulp and the other three oc-
eupants were badly hurt. Two bystand-
ers were also injured.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov 9.-Yale's

up of the eleven which will face Prince

and he VIII probably be able to play,
although lame.
Metcalf. Hogan. S0per and Rockwell
are rounding into shape fast. BIoomcr

his injury. and. barring another acci-
dent looks certain 70 play In his old
time form. That Morton and Roraback

Conductor and Passenger
Have d Horrible Time
i Could Change His Mind, If He
Couldn't Change Cars.

''TranSer to U?" bawled the con
cuctor OF a northbound Fourteenth
Street car the other day.
Nix Not TO me- was the quick re-
tort from a youthful passenger on the
conveyance.
Don't get fresh" snarled the irate
conductor, who was carrying an after
department crowd" up to the hill. IF

he continued.
'All right. II you've got a yellow slip

conversation took place while the car
was near Rhode Island Avenue. and
when II reached P Street the young man
pulled the beh rope to stop the car.

yelled the sDnductor "or I'll lay you

"Itll have Il be a better puncher than

TIGERS DISCOURAGED
OVER TEAMS POOR WORK
Showing Made Against Lafayette Does
Not Augur Well for the Game
With Yale.

PRINCETON, n. j., Nov. s.-The poor
showing the Tigers made against La
fayette does not augur well for the
coming game with Yale. After the first
ten minutes of play Princeton went to
pieces and had all she could do to stop
the fierce plunges of the Lafayette
backs.
True, the fact that three Of the regu-
lars were on the sick list weakened the
team TO a certain extent. But that oy
no means excuses the poor offensive aad
defensive work of the local eleven. Brad
ley proved one of the weakest spots In
the line, Lafayette tearing through him
for steady gains.
Both Vetterlein and Burke were away
off form, handling the ball with indecis-
sion and missing kick after kick In the
back field. That the game was close Is
apparent, but that Princeton should fail
off so in her form was most disappoint-
ing.
Weaknesses were shown in abundance
and the coaches have their work for this
week cut out for them. Princeton kicked
entirely too much on first downs. and
this more than anything else is respon-
sible for the small score
This kicking game was the cause of
Yales winning two years ago, and to
win this year Princeton must at least
attempt to rush the ball. not kicking ex-
cept as z last resort Secret practice
will be resumed this week in order to
put the finishing touches on the team.

NEBRASKA R0STELRIES

Negro Delegates to Freedman's Aid
Society Entertained Mainly in
Private Families.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov. 9.-Because the
leading hotels OF Lincoln drew the color
line in refusing to entertain negro
guests, the negro delegates to the ma
tional convention Of the Freednan's
Aid and Southern Educational Society
now In session in this city. are stopping
at second-class hotels. or are guests

OF that organization are IN attendance.
The negro delegates include the Rev.
Dr. Mason, Of Cincinnati; the Rev. DR..
Bowman, of Atlanta, Ga, and the Rev.
DR.. Schupert. of Mississippi
The local committee on entertainment

NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE DA IN THE WORLD or SPORTS
MUNROE SHOWS PLUCK
AND A STIFF PUNCH
His Fight With Maher, However, De-
monstrates That He Has Little
Ring Science.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. SAC
eording to the local experts. Jack Mum
roe. the miner, who achieved distinction
by a decision over Jeffries, may be
eliminated from the list Of heavywe eight
aspirants as a possible champion. Al
though Munroe defeated Peter AIaher.
his showing was rather disappointing,
and those who are well acquainted with
the fistic game say that he would have
been an easy victim for a clever man.
Although not skillful with his fists.
Munroe showed his ability TO take con-
siderable punishment, and made it EVIL
dent that he can land some pretty hard
wallops.
1t Is in the science OF the game that
Munroe is weak He apparently has lit
tie defense. and would rather mix IL
with an opponent than to block or get
away
Munroe showed that ne had grit in the
early part Of the contest. when Maher
had him going in the first round. Maher
scored a clean knockdown with a left
to the body and short right to the jaw.
1t was terrific wallop that sent Nun
roe to the floor. but he fought the round
out, although he was visibly groggy
when he went to his corner
Munroe fought it out gamely after the
first round, and landed a series OF stift
body punches that took the steam out
OF the Irish champion. Those who wit
messed the battle had expected to see
Munroe win, but looked for the miner
TO accomplish his victory IN a more de-
cisive manner. They argue that mis-
knowledge OF the technique of the box
ing game is limited
There is talk of Al Limerick or Sandy
Ferguson as Munroes next opponent.
