HAD 4 GREAT GAME.
Washington Defeats Nevada by a
score of 10 q.

Seattle. Nov. Washington Uni
versity yesterday defeated Nevada in
the football game here by score of
. 10 o.
From the football players stand
point alone. the Washington-Nevad
contest was the greatest game that
mas been seen in the Northwest for
many seasons. The elevens were so
cvently matched that the result was
vi actically in doubt until the referee
whistle blew to end the last half.
Washington had all the better OF the
argument with the exception OF the
puntng. but Nevada showed her abil-
ity to make long end runs. and the
football experts ON the side lines We're
fearful up until the last minute that
one of her backs would get away with
a clear field.
Steckell, in fact. did come very near
going the length of the field in the
second half. and had it not been for
Bagshaws magnificent tackle Wash
ington might now be nursing a defeat
instead of gloating over victory.
1t was a hard fought game-by far
the most desperately played of any
that have been seen in Seattle for the
past two or three seasons. Washing
ton had a wholesome respect for Ne
vada and went into the game with the
full knowledge that she must fight to
win. Washington has met every oth-
cr team this season with the idea that
victory was certain and that it was
only a question of how large the score
would be. But she knew that she had
yesterday a foeman worthy OF her
steel, and knew that single moment
of weakening might cost her the
game.
1t was good football throughout,
with the exception that Washington
robbed herself of something like
eighty yards during the game by rea-
son of penalties. Time and time again
she was set back distances varying
from five to twenty yards.

You are right. MIR. Chairman. when

beginning of our colonial history to
this day the German strain has been
constantly increasing in importance
among the many strains that go to
make up our composite nationality.
Each body of immigrants. each
element that has been added to our

more than we owe to that element
represented by those whom | have the

ALCOHOL FROM SAWDUST.
Norwegian Chemist Announces a
New Discovery

Washington, Nov. 20-Lumbermen
of the Pacific Northwest can get
doubly rich if they adopt the suggest
ion written to the state department
by Mr.. Guenther, the United States
consul general at Frankfort, Germany
Mr.. Guenther says Norwegian chem
list has discovered a new and cheap
process for making alcohol from saw
dust. Sawdust is treated under pres
sure with diluted sulphuric acid, by
which the cellulose is transformed
into sugar. which, by adding fermen-
tation producers, is converted into
alcohol in the old manner and then
distilled. Valuable by products are
also obtained. Sawdust alcohol can
be produced, he says, to sell at much
lower price than the potato alcohol
new made in Norway.

CANAL TREATY
HAY AND BUNAU-NARi SiGN
CANAL. CONVENTION.
New Treaty Contains Many Provi-
sions of the Hay Herran Docu-
ment, but Is Not Based Upon IL.
Gives Absolute Sovereignty in
Canal Strip.

WASHINGTON. Nov. l9.-The Hay
Bunau-N arilla isthmian canal treaty
was signed last evening at the resi-
dencc OF Secretary Hay by the secre-
tary and Philippe Bunau-Narilla, the
minister from Panama.
Although the treaty has not been
made public the Associated Press is
enabled to give the substance OF the
document. 1t consists of between
twenty-five and twenty-five articles, but
the main points of the convention are
contained in the first six articles.
The keynote of the treaty is the pro-
vision in one of the very first articles
by which ranama cedes to the United
States whatever land or lands through
out the republic of Panama this gov
eminent shall find desirable in con-
necton with the building or the oper-
alton and maintenance of the canal
In addition. the treaty gives to the
United States absolute sovereignty
over the canal strip. which it is UNI
derstood comprises between eight and
ten miles on each side of the canal
United States is as absolute as if the
zone were part and parcel of this
country.
In general it may be said that. while
the new treaty contains many of the
provisions of the Hay Herran treaty, it
is not based on that convention, but
follows not only the spirit but the let
ter of the Spooner act Thus. instead
of the lease for a fixed period of the
canal strip, this new treaty provides
for a perpetual grant of the right-of
way to the United States. and instead
of a complicated provision for courts
of mixed compostion-half American
and half Colombian---to administer
justice over the canal strip the new
treaty permits this government to
exercise the most complete jursdic-
ton thereon.
Permission also is given the United
States to fortify the line and the ter
minals. and it may police it with
troops. That portion of the treaty
dealing with the Notifications of the
terminals is rather general. but suf
fciently explicit not to be misunder-
stood
The cities of Panama and Colon re-
tain their municipal autonomy under
the republic of Panama so long as
they may maintain public order and
sanitary conditions to the satisfact-
ion of the United States Failure to
do this gives the United States. &C
cording to the treaty. the right to
force strict compliance with the
wishes of this government in this di-
recton. and the United States can
even use force to compel obedience to
its rules as to public order and public
health in these cities
The money consideration is the
same in the new treaty as in the Hay
Herran convention. with the exception
that the $1o0o0000 goes to Panama
instead of to Colombia
The treaty further provides that
the canal is to be neutral and open to
all nations on even terms.
Two-thirds of the treaty concern
details of administration which. while
not necessary to the efficacy of the
convention, il is believed commend
the new treaty to many members of
the senate, who have picked flaws in
the defunct Hay-Herran convention.

HEAD SOLID SORE.
Awful Suffering of Baby and Sleep,
less Nights of Mother.
Another Wonderful Cure by Cuti-
Cura.

II herewith write out in full the beginning and
end Of that terrible disease Eczema, which caused
my babe untold suffering and myself many sleep
less nights.
''My baby was born seemingly fair, healthy
child, but when she three weeks old a SWELL
ing appeared on the back Of her head and in
course of time broke. 1t did not heal but grew
worse, and the spread from the size of a
dime to that of dollar. 1 used all kinds Of RENE
dies that could think Of, but nothing seemed to
help; in fact, 1t grew worse. Her hair fell out
where the sore was, and l feared 1t would never
grow again. 1t continued until my aged father
came on a VISIT and when he saw the baby he told
me to get Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
right away
ITO please him did so, and to my surprise by
their use the sore began to heal over the hair
grew over it, and today she has a nice head of
hair, her skin is fair as lily and she has no
left to recall that awful sore and it is over
eight months and no sign of 1t returning"

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE.
Electrical Engineer to Confer With
Company Regarding Complaint.

The electrical engineer of the District will
be directed to confer with the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company with ref
erence to a complaint made to the Commits
sioners by Maj Richard Sylvester, superin-
tendent of the metropolitan police. regard
ing inefficient telephone service rendered
by the company.
Major Sylvester in his letter OF complaint
states that the matter does not partake OF
a personal interest, but Is purely ofhc1al
and might be the means Of Involving the
District in legal liabilities for which II
should in no way be held responsible. He
states that on the night Of the oath instant
he received a telephone call concerning
matter Of an arrest and Imprisonment, ana
in attempting to communicate with his de-
partment was shut off entirely, failing 70
secure response for period OF at least nan
an hour. This resulted in his being unable
to take action in the matter until the FOL

He says the instance cited Is only one OF
many where the head of the department
has been unable to make Investigation OF
emergency cases demanding immediate at
tention. He states that at various Tunes
he has failed to secure telephone connec-
ton with the different departments OF the
government much to the embarrassment vi
the police work Efficient telephone serV-
ice he declares, is very important TO the
department, as it must be relied upon at
various times for prompt action. Inc oe
tective bureau he states also reports that
the same conditions exist with reference to
their work.
