BROTHERS AND SON KISS
ALLEGED WIFE MURDERER.
Not Sufficient Number of Jurors for
Mayor McCue's Trial.

Mayor McCue's Trial.
Charlottesville, Va, Oct. 20.-The
trial of ex-Mayor j. Samuel McCue,
charged with the murder of his wife,
was resumed in the Corporation Court
here to-day, the court room being
filled.
When the defendant came into court
his two brothers and a son kissed
him. The examination of the tales
men of the second venire of fifty men,
drawn from Richmond, was begun in
an effort to complete the jury.
Only three of the venire of fifty from
Richmond were accepted; A. e. Helm
rich, Judd B. Wood and John A. Tray
lor making a total of twelve who have
qualified.
Forty-three were rejected because of
opinions formed, and three were ex-
cused. AS four more are necessary to
complete the panel of sixteen from
which the jury finally is to be drawn,
the court ordered the city sergeant to
secure a third venire.
A recess was taken until Saturday
at IL a. M, the witnesses, however,
being excused until Monday morning.
The court to-day withheld the name
of the point from which the third ven
ire is to be drawn, also information
as to the number. Only Judge Nor
ris and the city sergeant know where
the latter was directed to go to Sc
cure the additional talesmen.

be fired when Pennsylvania and CO.
lumbia meet at Philadelphia. These
two elevens are not considered serious
contenders for the championship this
year. Last year the blue and white
of Columbia was feared after the
walloping given to the Quakers. That
Pennsylvania will win is looked on as
a certainty, the question being by
what score.
Princeton will have easy going with
Lehigh and Yale should easily dispose
of West Point. Harvard has a propo-
sftion in the Indians, according to
the present standing of the team. The
red men are said to be faster this
year than ever before. and have made
the record score so far.
In the Southern field the Tech Au-
burn game and the Georgia. Clemson
game will hold the interest in this
section. Georgia is picked sure win
ner against Clemson, but there is a
question as to Techs ability to over
come the Alabamians. Although the
showing made by Tech against the
Florida State College was the best
of the three games between Florida
and Georgia, Auburn and Tech, the
coaches on the Florida team pick Au-
burn as the strongest eleven.

With the Old Enemy-Back Field

AT last nights football practice the
big unwieldy squad was whipped into
something like system, with positions
clearly defined to those who are COM
peting. and the coaches gained a clear
idea of just what the team promises.
All of the practices held so far have
been for the purpose of testing the
primary fitness of each candidate. and
in the selection of the coaches the less
promising material has been weeded
cut until only the men who are really
considered as eligible are given that
hard work which will be necessary be-
fore the team is in fit condition to
compete with a long trained college
team.
Fewer changes were made in the

those who We're worked most are the
only ones being considered. 1t is not
the wish of the coaches that any of
the candidates should be discouraged
yet, and every man will be given a

Want DIR. Barrow at Quarter.
Since the announcement has been
made here that Charleston is making
every effort to get a team with which
to defeat Savannah, special effort is
being made to get some of the old
time stars to go back in the game.
Chief among those who are being I'M
portuned is Dr. Craig Barrow, who is
largely responsible for past victories of
the blue and white. DR.. Barrow is
being importuned to play quarter,
position which present circumstances
makes most annoying to the manage
ment of the team. There is plenty of
good men available for the position,
but none of them have ever run a
team during a hard contest, and it is
the general idea to get a man at quar-
ter who can in every way fill Capt.
Cope's place. if possible.
SO far DIR. Barrow has declined to
consent to taking the place, as in case
of injury, his professional practice
might suffer. 1t is believed, however,
that he may be persuaded to help the
team out in the hard Charleston game
on New Years.
Line Getting Into Shape.
The forwards are rapidly getting
into shape. There is a superabund-
a.nce of material for the line positions
and it is believed that the forefront
presented to opposing elevens this sea-

that of last year.
In the back field there is great i'm

Manager McIntire stated last night

FOOTBALL SQUAD FAST SETTLING

HOW CARLISLE INDIANS
FARE IN TRAINING.
Not Limited to Diet of Raw Bee

Not Limited TO Diet of Raw Beef
and GunpOwder.
The training table for the Carlisle
Indian football team is amply sup
piled with all the delicacies good
markets afford. Their meals. which
are cooked by half dozen Indian
girls and served by Indian boys, are
timed as follows:
Breakfast at $50 a. M, lunch at
noon promptly and dinner at p. m.
Miss Ferree of the Indian school
corps of teachers has provided such a
bill of fare for the red-skinned war
riors of the checker board that they
pick up flesh and muscle at the same
time; unlike the ordinary collegians
who have to convert fat into harden
ed muscle tissue. A sample bill of
fare for the Indians would be:
Morning Meal-Wheat biscuits and
cream, fruit. broiled steak, scrambled
eggs, creamed potatoes, coffee, toast,
bread and butter.
Lunch-Celery soup and toast, mash
ed potatoes, peas, corn bread. roast
beef, cabbage. salad, pickles, milk
and grapes.
Dinner-Tea, bread and butter,
broied steak. sweet and baked pota-
toes, tomatoes, pickles, tapioca pud-
ding.
This training table takes the place
of the regular cooking school at the
institution and the corps of chefs and
cooks is changed every two weeks.
Although the allowance of beef per
man is three pounds a day, the foot
ball boys have but a pound and half
a day. Simple recipes are used. The
table etiquette of the aborigines is very
good, especially so when occasionally
they are waited upon by girls in the
schools senior class. The small reci-
pes of the cook book are multiplied by
eight or ten times to satisfy the forty
members of the football squad, with
a few guests who visit the table.
