BOWDOIN is CONFIDENT
That She Can Pull Out Today's Game
with Bates at Lewiston.

Brunswick, Me, Nov. l3.-(SpeciaD.
flor the last time of the season of
1909, the members of the Bowdoin foot
ball squad gathered on the Whittier
Athletic field. tonight. and went
through it's final practice before the
Bates game at Lewiston, tomorrow
afternoon. There was q little sadness
in it for one who has watched Bow
doin's season closely. There We're gath
cred the same men who have worked
day after day as hard and conscien-
tiously as eyer a football team worked;
the same second team men and those
who could not even make" this, but
who have donned their suits each day
that the first team might be made as
strong as possible; the same men on
the sidelines who have watched the
practice day by day, cheered and
hoped-they were all there-Watching
and hoping as ever.
There is, too Il very hopeful feeling
here. tonight. that Bowdoin may be
able to pull out tomorrow's game and
out of last place AS has been saIu,
there is no evidence in the games
played by the two colleges to prove
Bates superiority, and BOwdoins team
is apparently in as good or better shape
than at any previous time. At any
rate, Bowdoin will go into the game
with grim determination to win if such
a thing is possible.
There is no doubt but practically the
entire college will accompany the team,
tomorrow. and that things will be as
lively at Lewiston as they were here at
the time of the Maine game.
Though the practice, this week, has
been secret. no change was apparent.

Chicago. Nov. 13.--Twenty-five cars,

without damage to the ears or injury
10 the non-union employees, operating
them. was what the Chicago City Rail-
way Go. was able to accomplish. today,
with the assistance of the police depart
ment. The cars were run at three diff
fernt times five leaving the nth street
barns at $40 A. NJ, 10 leaving at 10.40.
and 10 at 2.40. The first two runs the
round trip was made in about three
hours, and the third in about one and
, a half hours.
While there was no active interfer-
ence with the handling of the cars such
as attended the attempts to run them.
Yesterday the crowds that lined the
streets jeered and .hooted the police and
the non-union men almost without in
Permission. But two stones were hurl-
ed at the cars during the day; one being
thrown by a woman, who made her es-
cape in the crowd before the police
could reach her. and the other being
hurled from the new post office building
now being built. Neither stone did
damage worth mentioning.
At nighttall, the officials of the Street
Car Co. were inclined to view the days
work as successful and on the whole
satisfactory. They announced that cars
would be run. tomorrow, on the Went
worth avenue at the same hours as to-
day. and that attempts would be made
to operate other lines, which, however,
were not specified.
Shortly after this decision was an
nounced the situation was complicated
for the company by sudden strike of
the firemen employed in all power
houses used by the company The fire.
mems Union made an agreement two
days ago with the company. which was
to last for year There was a clause
in the contract which gave the firemen
the discretion to so on a sympathtic
strike if the company declined to arbi-
trnte with the employees now on strike.
The officials of the Firemen's Union de-
clared that they had ordered the strike
because the company had declined their
offer to mediate between the company
and the employees now on strike and
the contract was therefore repudiated.
The real danger in this last strike lies
in the attitude of the teamsters. They
may decline to deliver coal to the COM
pany If non-union firemen are employ
cd and the company has but three days'
supply on hand. On this point General
Manager Mccullough was undisturbed
I'VE will get all the coaI'we need" he
declared, and we will run right along.
We have shown, today, that we can
operate the cars If we are given proper
police protection. AS long as we are
given that we will be able to conduct
our business as usual
During the afternoon, an effort was
made 10 bring about peaceful adjust

for the President completely to rewrite
that part of the message touching the
canal negotiations. In the opening SEN
tence of his discussion of the negotia-
tons with Colombia the President said:
Il regret to report that contrary to
all expectations, the government of the
republic of Colombia refused to ratify
the treaty for the building of canal
across the isthmus of Panama"
Then after stating that the treaty
had been negotiated at the earnest re-
quest of the government of Colombia
and subsequently was disapproved by
the Colombian Senate, the President
said that the powers exercised by the
United States under the treaty of 1916
We're so large in the protection of tram

times had been questioned whether it
was necessary now to obtain a treaty
for the purpose of building a canal.

Nearly every new conner had to per-

parallel with the road and there is a
small, roughly made door. This small
shed sheltered the hogs that caused the
fatal trouble.
Mr. Stevens had just fastened the
small door and stood few feet in
