OUTLOOK AT FRANKLIN
FOOTBALL PROSPECTS FOR THE
SEASON ARE BRIGHTER.
Team Will be Lighter, hut Faster
Being Taken in the Game.
,ecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
FRANKLIN. Ind. Aug. 2O.-The foot
ball prospects for Franklin College
for the coming season continue to
brighten Captain Webb will probably play
in his old position at right end. Pritchard
and Sturgeon. both of whom have played
on the Franklin squad for two years, will
be the most likely candidates for right
tackle. There is no one in sight for right
guard and center rush. both of which va
cancies will probably be filled by members
of the second team. Thompson will prob
ably play in his old position at left guard.
while Silver will undoubtedly re-establish
his claim to left tackle. Pavy. Hemming
and Sellers are probable candidates for
left end. all of whom did good work on
the scrubs last year. Luyster and Bryon
will be rivals for the position of quarter,
both of them having filled the position
creditably in past seasons. Miller will try
for his old position at left half back and
Jewett is expected to play full back. Brani-
gan will have no opposition for his position
at right half.
There is some doubt as 10 whether Brani-
gan will be in college this fall and the
strength of the team greatly depends upon
his playing, as he is considered the best
all'round football player ever in Franklin
College, and his punting and place kicks
have earned him the reputation of being the
best man for that kind of work among the
secondary college teams of Indiana.
Owing TO the organization of the Indiana
College Athletic League last winter. there
will be an unusual interest taken in football
among the smaller colleges competing for
the championship of the league. The friends
college believe Franklin
hold a high place in the contest, if she
does not win the championship.
The team this year will be little lighter
than last year, but will be faster. Coach S.
X. Ruick, of Indianapolis, who made
splendid success in coaching the team three
years ago, believes that Franklin will lead
in the race for the championship.
Franklip will be at a disadvantage dur
ing the first of the season, owing to the
late date at which college opens. which is
only two days before the first game.

FORGED ELKINS'S NAME.
Young Man Arrested In New York
Former Naval Omcer.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3o.-Alfred Crosby
Owen, twenty-eig.ht years old. who says his
home Is in Washington. was locked up at
police headquarters to-day charged with
passing two worthless checks on the
Waldorf-Astoria and the Fifth-avenue
hotels. The police believe they have the
man who has been spending the last few
weeks in the West, chartering special trains
and posing as the son of Senator Stephen
B. Elkins of West Virginia. Word was
sent from Chicago Tuesday that the real
Stephen Il. Elkins. jr., was in Chicago and
that he had learned that someone had been
travelling across the country telling rail-
road officials he was the son of Senator
Elkins.
Owen took suite at the Waldorf-Astori
yesterday and Manager Boldt cashed for
him a check for $50 drawn on the Elkins
National Bank and signed by s. Il. Elkins.
II am Senator Elkinss son and / am
little short of ready cash. he said
He went from there TO the Fifth-avenue
Hotel and engaged a room. The clerk at
that hotel cashed a check for s. to self
signed by s. b. Elkins. jr., and drawn on
the Elkins bank.
When arrested, Owen simply said that he
was we'll acquainted with Senator Elkins
and his son, and that he would get out of
the trouble all right. He claims to have
been a lieutenant In the United States navy,
having been graduated from Annapolis in
1897. The police say that Owen was dis
missed from the navy In December, 1902,
on charges of failing TO pay debts

organized mainly for the growth of good
fellowship among the retail clerks and in
cidentally tn teach them something about
the game. they were not averse to allow
ing any team that had good bowlers In it
to remain and let them play with any other

STRENGTHENS ITS POSITION.
United States steel Company Buys I'm
mense Iron Property.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.--The report of a
deal for the purchase of iron ore lands on
the Mesaba range Minnesota, by the United
States Steel Corporation. which has been
noted occasionally since the first of the
year, and which was completed some
months ago. was verified to-day by local
officials of the corporation. BY this pur-
chase the steel corporation takes off the
market the last large single block of ore
property in the Mesaba range which is for
sale. Ii is said the Importance of the pur-
chase cannot be overestimated. In all about
100000 tons of excellent quality of ORE
much OF II high grade Bessemer. has been
measured upon the land acquired and il
is estimated that even larger yield will
be obtained.
The properties were purchased from the
holdings of the Chemung Iron COMPANY at
Duluth. The lands are mostly leased prop
critics, on basis of - cents a ton royalty
which is considered to give the steel cor
poration an immense addition to its ore
reserves at no undue cost. Some of the
deposits measure up To So per cent iron and
down to 80 per cent phosphorus.

State Senator William Sullivan charged
with soliciting bride in connection with
the bill repeating the anti-alum law Judge
Timmonds having instructed the jury soon

clared that Whitney Layton, the baking

given to the jury at 100 p. m.
The jury found Sullivan guilty of solic-
iting a bride and fined him $780, This is the
maximum fine for the Offense.
