and Orville Wright succeeded in throwing
newspaper men off their track today by
sending two men ahead of them to pose
as the inventors of the airship. The
Wright brothers have not yet reached
Norfolk. Their trip across the sounds in
the Nancy Hall was q rough voyage, but
was safely made, and this afternoon the
brothers unloaded their airship at Eliza
beth City. They are carrying it home
with them rather than leave it at Kitty
Hawk, fearing outsiders may learn some
of Its secrets. Wilbur Wright said:
we have had no formal proposals
prior to Thursday would not justify them
Since Thursdays trip some experts of the
government have become interested. This
subject we cannot discuss at present
We will likely return to Kitty Hawk in
the spring and build larger house and
more extensive workshops, when we hope
to overcome difficulties in the working Of
a1rSh1p in perfect control"
Orville Wrights statement Is as fol-
lows:
''Gravitation and ourselves have had q
hard tuSsle, and am proud we won out.

while when transit through the air will
be a thing of small moment In one of

WILL RAISE THE CITY
GsIveston's Vast Project Is
Explained.

GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 26.-Bids
were opened today for work which
promises to eclipse the wonders Of the
modern age-the raising Of the entire
city of Galveston. This includes not
Only the streets and alleys, but the
soil under the residences and the
streets In the business section to the
curb line. The latter has since the
city was established been considera-
bly, above the street, but now the
streets are to be raised to level with
the stores. The grade is to be raised
from seventeen to twenty feet on the
gulf shore to one and two feet on the
bay.
There are two bids upon the work.
These were from e. A. Eisey, of Marsh
alltown, Iowa, and the firm Of Coed
hart & Bates, of "A Broadway, New
York. Each of the bids was accom-
panied by certified checks for $4,000,
according to the terms Of the specifi-
cations. After being opened and read
the proposals were referred to Engi-
neers Richie and Boschke 1t is ex-
pected that they will be ready to re-
port upon the acceptance of either one
of the propositions or the rejection Of
both within a day or so.
Some forty months have gone by
since the devouring September night,
when the sea and the cyclone whirled
in their savage competitor, and Calves
ton is not It's old self yet. Great scars
grin at the visitor. Broken walls and
piles Of debris are in front and at the
right and the left
Galveston before the flood was a
city of well toward 10000. A quarter
of those lives were lost, another quar-
ter hurried away and of those who
tarr1ed perhaps q similar quota stood
numb. Yet today the old population
total Is approached again. The CAL
weston man quotes this for warrant
of his hope and his faith and his plans.
Before the flood came-at prosper
ity's height-the banks Of the city had
annual clearances that amounted awav
up to $216,0O0,000. 1t was an exhibit
OF stalwart pride. Today the record
approximates $40O,O0O,00O. Then ex-
ports were rapidly developing; ship
pers Scurried away. Today the yes-
sells that sail from Galveston are the
biggest fleets she ever had.
Following the construction of the
sea wall is this greater prospect Of the
raising of the grade OF the city. For
this work 1t Is proposed to issue bonds
Of perhaps $2,000.000, the sum author
lied by the new city charter. The
state has donated certain state taxes
on Galveston county property for q
term of seventeen years to provide a
sinking fund and interest for the bonds.
Last spring Gov. Lanham appointed
the board of grade-raising Commits
sioners, In compliance with the terms
of the charter. The board consists

FOOTBALL WAS PLAYED
BY THE PURITAN BOYS
One Protest Against the Game Was Filed
Back In 1888.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Dec 26.-There
were protests against football in the early
days, for Prof w. L. Phelps, of Yale, has
unearthed the following from the "Ano-
tonne of Abuses" written by Phillip
Stubs, Puritan, in 1888:
"For as concerning football playing, !
protest until you it may rather be called
friendly kinds or fight than play or
recreation: a bloody and .murthering prac-
tise, than q fellowly sporte or pastime.
For dooth not every one lye In waight
him & to pickle him on his nose, though
1t be upon hard stones. In ditch or dale,
in valley or hill. or what place soeuer 1t
bee hee careth not, so he have him down.
And he than can serue the most of this
fashion, he is counted the only fellow, and
who but he so by this meanes, sometime
their necks are broken, sometime their
backs, sometime their legs, sometime
their armes, sometime one part thrust
the noses gush out with blood, sometime
their eyes start out; and sometimes hurt
In one place, sometimes in another. But
wh0SOeuer Scapeth away the best, goeeth
not scot free, but is either sore wounded
craised and bruised so that he dyeth of it.
or else scapeth very badly, and no meru-
allie, for they have the sleights to meet
one betwixt two, to dash him against the
hart with their elbowes, to hit him under
and with their knes to catch him upon
the hip and picks him on his neck; with
g hundred such numbering deuices; and
hereof groweth enury, malice, rancpur
cholor, hatred, and sometimes fightfng
braWling. contention, quarrel picking
Inurther, homicide and great effusion of
blod, as experience daily teacheth.''

YOST WILL GET AN
EARLY START THIS TIME
Michigan Football Squad to Engage In
Spring Practice Work.

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec 26-Michigan's
FOOTBALL squad will indulge in spring train
ing next year under the personal super
vision of Coach Yost. It will be somewhat
OF an innovation at Ann Arbor under the
hurry up" leader, although In earlier
years work in the spring was done when

OF the five veterans on last seasons
team, 1T is not certain at present that
any besides Capt.-elect Heston viii re-
turn, though Graver may again be in the
game. Capt. Redden has PLAYED four

Maddox. the star tackle, will return.
Gooding, guard Of last seasons eleven.
Will probably be shifted to center next
year, and TED Hammond, a last wear
substitute, will undoubtedly play one of
the guards. Curtis. the freshman tackle
of last year, Is counted on as a star for
next year.
Both James and Norcross will be back
TO try for quarter, but it is possible that
these men may be used as halves. Should
good quarter enter college.
