dents address.
Addressing the negro students the
president said:
'To the white population, as well as
to the black, it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the negro be encouraged
to make himself of the highest type
of usefulness. Within the last two
years industrial operations in the
south have so increased that scarcity
of labor is reported everywhere, so
it is the part of wisdom for all who
wish prosperity in the south to help
the negro become in the highest
degree useful to himself, and therefore

Tho Ghost Drops In.

RAVENNA, O., Oct. 24.-The home
of Sidney Veon is said to be haunted
and SO terrified have he and his fami-
1y become that they declare they Will
move. A khost in the form of an
aged man is said to appear each night
between s O'Clock and midnight.
Doors and windows open and close
the furniture moves, the piano Is
played and fiendish laughter is heard.
Recently the music of BLUE Belr' was
heard when no one was near the
piano.
When the window opened last night
and the ghost appeared, Veon made
a grab for him, but he vanished with
a laugh. The family says bed was
turned completely around the other
night and veon's hat, hanging on
peg, whirled about like buzzsaw.

mechanical trades and some on

Ignorance is the costliest crop that

of the white man to educate the ne

women of Tuskegee, you must lead

in those counties failed to reveal the
presence of the two men.
On this showing Prosecuting At
torney Wilson moved that the testi-
mony of the men, shown in the
transcript and by the court steno-
grapher's notes be admitted as evil
dence. The defense objected on the
grounds that a proper search for the
men had not been made in the cases
of Paloma and Baroma. Judge Brents
held that it was proven beyond a
doubt that the men were not in the
state and ruled that the evidence be
admitted.
The prosecution placed M. F. Dug
ger, an ex-policeman, Sheriff Painter,
DR.. c. B. Stewart and B. M. Parker
on the stand and the testimony Of
Antoine Paloma, one of the missing wit
nesses was read by Court Steno-
grapner Oscar Ingram. Parker was
the principal witness in the case yes
terday, testifying that he saw the
shooting from his residence which ad-
joins the house where the killing took
place. Parker expressed the opinion
that De Valario had been shot through
the window. 1t was rather dark, he
said, but he saw DPasqualo in the
yard with a revolver and heard loud
talking. He did not see De Valario,
but minute afterward he saw the
flash of the revolver and heard a man
cry out.
Sheriff Painters testimony was to
the effect that after the shooting
D'Pasqualo was fugitive from JUS
tice for several days. He detailed an
account of the arrest of D'Pasqualo
and other incidents connected with
the shooting. DR.. Stewart described
the nature of the wound.

turned, unless he is acquitted of the

fed in his own behalf. The defendant

he did in the former trial, pleading
self defense.
Fight on CIsussen's Testimony.
When court convened this morn
ing Attorney Wilson made a motion
that the transcribed evidence of
Charles T. Claussen be admitted.
He explained that Claussen, who was
one of the states witnesses at the
former trial had since died at Boise
City, Idaho. J. w. Boylor, superinten-
dent of the Barber Asphalt company,
was sworn to substantiate the fact.
Mr.. Baylor said that he first became
acquainted with Claussen's death
through a newspaper clipping sent
him from Boise, and later he had
visited Boise and talked with Claus
sens son-in-law, who was attending
to the dead mans business.
The defense objected to the intro
duction of the testimony on the
grounds that it had not been con-
clusively proven that Claussen was
dead. The court ruled that suff1-
cient showing had been made and or
dered the testimony read by Oscar
Ingram, the court stenographer.
Testimony Admitted.
Prosecuting Attorney Wilson scored
an important point yesterday after
noon when Judge Brents ruled to
admit the testimony of Antoine Pa

Englishman Design to Have "Soeker''
Endorsed as National Sport.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-If the plans
of the English gentlemen composing
the Pilgrim Association football team
do not go awry, the aid of President
Roosevelt will be invoked in fostering
sport in the United States that may
in time rival baseball.
The Pilgrim players of what they
call "socker'' football were guests Of
President Eliot of Harvard today, and
thoroughly explained to him the idea
of their game.
Captain Fred Mines, accompanied
by Vician Woodward, both of the Eng
lish team. left for Washington today
for a previously arranged conference
with the president. There "socker'
will be put through the third degree.
and when the day has ended Mr..
Roosevelt will probably have added
another sport to his varied collection.
'Socker' requ'r res great dexterity on
the part of the players, though the
mental work and training are not so
exhausting as football. The players
are not allowed to touch the bail with
their hands, neither must they collide
when it can be avoided. They use the
head, elbows, knees, and feet in driv-
ing the ball about the field. The OBJ
ject is very similar to college foot
ball in that the ball must be driven
over a goal post.
