TIGERS ELECT 1905 CAPTAIN.
Eleven Is in Good Condition After It's De-
feat by Yale
rBv TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BrxE.1


Princeton. n. j., Nov. 1S.-At meeting of the
football men who played in the championship game
against Yale Saturday. James Lawrence Cooney.
of Scranton, Penn. unanimously elected cap
tain of the Princeton eleven for the of 1895
Cooney prepared at Exeter, where he was the star
of the team throughout the preparatory school
son. He to Princeton and entered In the
class of 07. He played left tackle on the champion
ship eleven OF last year. and filled the same posi-
ton during the season just ended. He also played
on the baseball team of 1904. and his steady work
was instrumental in bringing the championship 10
Princeton.
Cooney proved a mountain of strength in the
Tiger defence in the Yale game and in the latter
part of the contest was the only one who was able
70 penetrate the Blue defence for consistent gains
None of the Tigers laid up as result of their
bruising battle against the weight of Yale, al

team. sustained a broken rib in the latter part of
the second half of the game, and fought furiously

field. Although still suffering from the battering
he received Foulke able to be around to-day
The excellent condition of the Princeton team was
shown by the fact that ! played stronger game
in the second half than II did in the first period
of play; and the men deserve no small amount Of

COLUMBIA MEN ARE JUsILANT.

their victory Cornell Saturday. They re-
gard it satisfactory ending a which
up to that game far from creditable for the
local eleven On figuring up the distances made by
the two eevens Ia the first half Of the match II Is
than evident how greatly superior was
Columbia in the early part of the game. The fact,
too, that at the close of the seventy-minute game
Columbia was playing better than any previous
part OF the contest was also regarded by Columbia
men yesterday as encouraging for the future. II
will be recalled that Thorpe scored against Cornell
by kicking the bail So yards across the goal line
after the leather had been fumbled by Rice. When
the ball had rolled across the goal line Thorpe fell
II for touchdown II exactly the same
play which West Point scored against the
Tigers. Thorpe together with the other members
OF the Columbia eleven, was present that game.
when the same opportunity for score presented
itself to him he was quick remember West

HARVARD PREPARES FOR YALE.
Fearful of Defeat, but Expecting to Play
Best Game of Season.
TpY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.7

students Cambridge realize more keenly than
after the overwhelming victory of Yale last
Saturday that Harvard has the most stupendOus
task OF the year TO keep from being swamped by
Yale at New-FIaven next Saturday. The Crimson
coaches and eleven will begin the final days OF
preparation tomorrow with grim determination
to be in shape to make the Ellis know that they
have been working they never worked, before
II they are TO land another victory for the Yale
Blue.
1t is the general feeling at Harvard that. on the
form shown by the Yale and Harvard teams up
TO date, Harvard has only thing to expect Sat
urday, q sound thrashing. but Harvard students
are also that their eleven will play a far
better game against Yale than the Crimson has
shown any other time this year. There is no
doubt that the Harvard defence is weak, and
after the terrific offensive power shown by Yale
Saturday, there is small hope for Harvard unless
she can also surprise her Blue opponents and turn
loose an equally irresistible attack.

PANAMA CANAL ZONE,
Its Relation to the United States Pass
ed On by Comptroller of Treasury.

Washington. Comptroller of the
Treasury Tracewell, in an opinion de-
ining the authority Of the Panama
Commission regarding disbursements
and the relation of the canal zone to
the United States, holds that while
the general spirit and purpose" Of
the Constitution is applicable to the
zone, that domain is not part Of the
United States, within the "ful1 mean
ing Of the Constitution and laws Of
the country" He held that until Gen.
gress, by express legislation, shall have
prescribed the form Of government Of
the zone, the will and sound discre-
ton Of the president and his commits
sion will control subject only to the
general spirit and purpose Of the con-
stitutien and the local revenues Of the
zone in accordance with such rules as
they may authorize. He holds it I'M
necessary to decide whether those rev.
enues are in general sense moneys Of
the United States as are repaired to
be accounted for to the Treasury De-
partment. The Comptroller also holds
that the commission would have no au-
thority to adopt a system Of allotting
pay by employees on the Isthmus to
that in use in the Navy.

A Penny Caused the Cough.

Boston. years of suffering
from an illness which several physi-
clans said was consumption, Miss Iva
Brakeman, % years Of age, Of Newton
Upper Falls, has coughed up a paany
and her health is rapidly improving.
When the girl was recovering from
diptheria, fifteen years ago, she swal-
lowed the penny. She became i'll about
five years ago, and physicians dag
nosed her case as consumption. She
would be seized with violent coughing
spells, followed by the formation Of
abcesses on her lungs. Miss Brakeman
was seized with a particularly violent
coughing spell few days ago, and in
an effort to prevent herself from chok-
ing thrust her finger down her throat.
The next instant she withdrew her
hand and up came the penny.

SNAKE IN THE SOUP.
Child and Cook Who Drank of the
Broth are Dead.

M'Kenzie, Tenn.-A report is cur.
rent here of the death of child and
a negD cook from a very unusual
cause. The family was away at
church and left the little fellow with
the cook. The child got hungry and
the cook gave it bowl of bread and
soup, and it died within half an hour.
The cook was accused of poisoning the
child when the family heard of the
manner of its death, but explained
that she had only given it the soup
made from boiling cabbage for din,
ner, and in order to convince her EN-.
ployers that she was innocent, drank
Of the soup herself, with the result
that she also died in short while in
great agony. An investigation by the
family developed the fact that small
green snake had been hidden in the
cabbage head and was cooked with it.
It is supposed that this was the cause
Of the death Of both the child and the
negro woman.

SURPRISING Whitecappers.

Governor Vardaman now has under
consideration a plan to launch a
movement for the suppression Of the
whitecapper and other lawless bands
IN Pike county, and it is more than
likely that the Pinkerton detective
agency will be requested to send add
tional forces to this state to ferret
out the perpetrators Of recent out
RACES. The governor has been spurred
to action by the complaint of negro
named William Collins, whose store
and residence were burned to the
ground few nights since, and who
was ordered to leave the county un-
der threat OF death punishment if he
failed to do 80.
