REVENUES OF GERMANY
Caused Some Long Faces in the
Reichstag Meeting.

Re1chstag Meeting.
Berlin, Dec. Silk millions fewer
bottles of champagne were drunk in
Germany during the first six months of
the fiscal year, from April II to Sept.
81, and 800, 900 fewer cigars were
smoked, as appears from the figures
which Finance Minister Won Stengel
submitted to the Reichstag to-day.
The wine and tobacco revenues show
a falling off of $975.OO0. while the use
of spirits increased. as evident from
the $2,500,O00 addition to the revenues
from distilling.
Continuing, Baron Won Stengel said
it was no use to circumlocute. Self
deception was dangerous. Looking at
the situation straight in the face, a
loan of $73,250000 must be raised, of
which $19.250,000 was in consequence
of the regrettable conditions in Ger
man Southwest Africa.
Baron Won Stengel took a gloomy
view of the future, saying more rev.
enues were needed. but not indicating
their source.

Nice Teams From Jacksonville
and CharIestOn-Attenda Was
Light, Many Savannah Rioters Be-
ing Present-HOgan Yancy Punt
ed 20 Yards-Line Smashing Was
the Feature of the Play of Both
Teams.
Jacksonville, Fla. Dec. 3.-Before a
crowd of 500 on a hot, sultry after
noon Jacksonville played Charleston to
a standstill. In the second half, with
twelve minutes to play, the over
Homers" quit the game and Referee
Humphreys gave the game to jack
sonville, to 0.
The manager for Charleston called
his team off the field after Referee
Humphreys declared the ball in jack
sonvilles possession. Gunter had ad-
vanced the ball for ten yards around
left end. when he was tackled by Ho-
gan Yancey. He fell and Worth Yam
cey fell on the ball. When Humphreys
arrived where the ball was down he
declared the ball in possession of Jack
eonville.
There was no demonstration, the
Charleston team being called off just
as soon as the decision was rendered,
and without entering formal protest.
The manager of the Charleston team
refused TO make a statement outlining
his reasons for withdrawing from the
game.
In the first half Charleston received
the kick off, and by hard line plunging
Sid Smith, Gunter and Harvey carried
the ball in rushes of four and five
yards at a crack straight down the
field eighty-five yards to a touchdown
in eight minutes of play.
Then Jacksonville received the kick
off and carried the ball by short line
plunges forty yards, when Hogan
Yancey on a double pass went thirty
five yards down the side lines to a
touchdown. He then kicked goal,
which trick Smith had failed to do.
The score. 6-5.
In the second half Charleston played
by far the faster ball, and the ter
rife line plunges of Sumter and hur-
ding of Harvey took the ball eighty
yards without a tumble to the Jays
one-half-yard line, where they lost it
on downs. Both teams used mass on
tackle plays and quick opening, with
a tackle lock- The end of both teams
were so strong no end runs were at
tempted. For Charleston, Sid Smith,
Harvey and Sumter starred. For the
Jays, Kirby Smith and the Yanceys.
One of Hogan Yanceys punts went
seventy-three yards. Teams lined up:

RETARDING DEVELOPMENT.
The New Orleans Daily States

The New Orleans Daily States
draws the following lesson from recent
developments concerning the Watkins
well:
We have long believed that the
Standard Oil monopoly has been Sc
cretly working to throttle the develop
ment of the oil field of Southwest
Louisiana. or at least those parts of
the fields which, it does mot control
Ample confirmation of our belief il
found III the card published by Mr..
Watkins in the Lake Charles Ameri-
can.
That a deliberate attempt was made
to destroy Mr.. Watkins well there can
be nc. doubt, but fortunately the OBJ
structions placed in the we'll have been
removed and it is to be hoped that
the steps which have been taken TO
protect it will result in it becoming
most valuable piece of property. If
the truth were known hundreds of
wells in the oil fields of this state
have been corked'' or !. otherwise
ruined by drillers who are really the
secret agents of the Standard Oil com
pany. These men can easily bottle
up well by causing pipe to break
when it is several hundred feet below
the surface of the ground, or by drop
ping drill or some other thing that
will plug it up and make further pro-
gress of the work impossible. Per-
sons who contemplate sinking oil
wells can not be too careful about the
character of the men they employ to do
the drilling.
If the case of the Watkins well was
an isolated instance, one might Fbe
persuaded that the watertight screen
was put in through unintentional err
ror, but such mistakes" have been |
too common in the Calca-
sieu field to fail to arouse suspicion.
