home and pay their own expenses.
Once more Captain Green IT mon
strated but there Bray made the
mistake Of the day at this point by
stating that they had the referee
and umpire hired so that they
could not turn them away, al
though Bray admitted that the
referee didn't know the rules of the
game, but stated that he had once
seen a good game.
Then Green asked if they didn't
intend to play according to the Off
cit.i rules. Official rules roared Jay,
no you must play according to my
rules"
Then upon being told that they
might as we'll go, the Lancaster
team left the field.
Then the Cassville team together
with the other children in town
hung around in a mob, brave mob
of course, the kind that talks about
the thing their going to do but
never do anything.
Insults were hurled at the Ian
caster people but more at the ladies
Of the faculty than any others, show
ing still more of jays noble spirit.
Prof. Bray states that he is the
best athlete in Southern Wisconsin.
This may be SO, but professionalism
is deprecated the world over when
it enters school and college athletics
and the sport suffers in consequence.
Prof. Jay very magnanimously
admitted to the Lancaster team that
he supposed his injury at Lancaster
was accidental.
AS the team left town eggs of
Cassville condition were thrown at
the players of the Lancaster team.
Practically the only noble act of the
Cassville boys was to neglect throw
ing eggs at the ladies of the Lancas-
ter faculty.
Three or four of the Cassville
team have made their mark among
the Lancaster team and it is thought
that the center, the full-back and
the two half-backs will be remem-
bered for long time by the Lam
caster team.
Prof. Bray remarked about the
kicking and roaring at the game at
Lancaster but he failed to mention
the fact that he did all of the kick
ing himself and that when asked
what he was kicking about his an
swer was nothing"
Jay bemoaned the unfairness Of
the officials at the Lancaster game
but when asked to name one point
of unfairness his memory suddenly
left him, no noticeable eniption
occurred by the loss either.
One mystery remains unsolved
although the faculty are busy look
Ing into it, why Houghton drove
five miles away from home and
why no one saw him when he got
out of the buggy and left for home.

The stingiest man lives in Ray
county, Missouri. He was married
by the justice Of the peace and paid
the bill in turnips. For a wedding
trip he took his wife to Richmond in
a lumber wagon, and for a wedding
dinner they ate a dimes worth of
bologna sausage and a box OF
crackers as they walked around the
square. Before starting for home he
invested nickel for candy, and as
he opened the sack for the second
stick he stammered, "Say my
woman, SIP osen' we save the rest of
this here candy for the children"

DANGEROUS SHREDDERS
Wisconsin Physicians Report Nearly
500 Serious Accidents.

0OU SERIOUS Accidents.
The danger Of serious accidents
from corn huskers and shredders
and the importance of the law
passed by the last legislature re-
curing that all shredders be
equipped with a safety device, are
striklngly shown by the statistics
just compiled by Professor George
+. Knapp, of the department of
farm engineering Of the university
of Wisconsin. While it is matter
of common knowledge to everyone
who is familiar with farm ma
chlnery that the liability of ac-
cidents has been greater to men
operating corn shredders than to
those in the charge of any other
kind Of farm machinery, hitherto
no statistics have been collected to
show the comparative danger. In
response to circular letter sent to
one thousands physicians in the
fiftY-eight counties of Wisconsion
in which corn is grown, 378 replies
were received by Professor Knapp.
The reports show II accidents by
shredders in 1905 and 414 accidents
by shredders in former years,
against 235 accidents by all other
kinds Of farm machinery in 1904,
and 967 in former years.
The statistics compiled from the
reports IF the physicians show that
last year sixteen persons lost arms
in corn shredders, while ten persons
lost arms in all other farm ma
chinery accidents. While nineteen
persons lost hands in shrelders.
only nine suffered similar loss by
other machines Two deaths re-
suited from shredder accidents and
two from all other machinery. Tt is
thus apparent that the. shredder ac-
cidents are IN the majority serious,
since % per cent were fatal, so per
cent resulted in loss of arms or
hands, and % per cent in loss Of
fingers.
AS under the term ''all other
kinds Of farm machinery" has been
included grain threshers, traction
engines, gasoline engines, wood
saws, hay presses, grain and corn
harvesters, corn shelters, feed mills,
wind mills, mowers and hay
tedders, planters, plows, harrows
and rollers, it is apparent that the
shredder is responsible for injuries
out of l proportion to the number
of machines in use. The unavoidable
inference from this is that shred
ders are more dangerous than otK er
machines and that ordinary care in
operating shredders is not adequate
to prevent injury.
The state legislature passed a law
at the last session which provides
that all shredders shall be equipped
with d safety device to prevent ac-
cident in the swapping rolls. In the
machines put on the market this
year the manufacturers are az
parently making an honest attempt
to comply with this law, hut the
machines in the field which oc-
casioned II accidents in 1904 are no
doubt still in use and are as likely
to catch victims this year as last.
Since shredders and huskers will
continue to be used, the only safe
guald is to keep away from both
the husking and swapping rolls, and
if the rolls need attention to use a
stick or club and not the hands or
fingers in atte mptin to remedy the
difficulty.

the general scheme of the production at
Bayreuth the evening performance will be-
gin at $50, and the matinees on Wednes-
day and Saturday at IL.
Mr.. Savage began his planning for Par
sifal'' more than year ago, having an
nounced his purpose of presenting II IN
English some time before the first perform
ance was given in this country in the orig
inal German. He has had what he con-
siders the best technical and artistic ad-
vice that he could secure and has assembled
company of singers and musicians, that
is a result of long months of slow and care
full selection. The performance of Par
sifaP' in English marks distinct advance
in the history of grand opera In this coun-
try. Mr.. Rubin Goldmark. the distinguished
pianist and composer, will give an explain,

RESULT OF A row.
One Man Seriously Wounded, Another
Behind the Bars,

Thomas Young, colored. twenty-four years
old, living at go Navy place southeast. en-
gagged in row with John Henson, also
colored, in a dining room near his home
last night about 8 o'clock which resulted
in Henson receiving severe cuts across his
stomach and back. He was taken to Provi-
dence Hospital for treatment. He had lost
considerable quantity of blood and was
in serious condition when he was taken to
the hospital by the police.
Young was taken from the scene of the
trouble by his sister. She wanted him to go
home, but he went to the house of friend
instead, and remained until this morning
Hearing nothing about Hensons condition,
Young went to work at coal yard and
was arrested by Policeman Moran. He ad-
mitted that he had engaged in the row, but
denied that he had cut Henson. His YER
sion of the affair was that he was in Mat
thews lunch room when Henson told him
to hurry and get out. Young said he told
Henson he wanted nothing to DO with him,
whereupon Henson threw a brick and
struck him on his head. He then went out
and was engaged in fighting when his sister
came and took him away. The prisoner de-
ciared he had not had penknfe for about
three years and made no effort to explain
how Henson received his wound
After being placed under arrest Young
was taken to police headquarters, where he
was measured and photographed. The case
could not be tried today on account of the
condition of the wounded man. 1t was
stated at the hospital today that Henson
will probably recover

HOUSE TO BE REMOVED.
Building Inspector Sustained by the
Commissioners.


The Commissioners have sustained the
action Of Building Inspector Snowden Ash
ford Who has demanded that Mr.. +. r.
Nash. owner OF frame structure known
at 1910 Quaker court. shall comply with
the order of the building inspector to re-
move the building, or in the event he fails
TO do so the inspector of buildings pre-
coed to have it removed, as provided by an
act of Congress.
Mr.. Ashford reports that the build
ing in question, which is located in
in 1902, prior to the time Mr.. Nash
became its owner. Mr.. Nash he said.
Iii 1903, made several applications for per-
NIT to repair the structure, but as 1t was
located in an alley, under authority of the
act of Congress, the permit was refused.
In February. 1908, 1t is stated, after per-
sonal inspection of the building by Capt.
Harding and Building Inspector Ashford
the authorities agreed to permit MIR. Nash
to repair the building, limiting the repairs
TO structural improvements to render 1t
safe, and limiting the expenditure for re-
pairs not exceeding one-half the value OF
the building.
Mr.. Ashford declares that the permit
was reissued after six months, as little or
work had been done on the structure,
and that in December, 1908, when 1t Was
found that the building had not been Ie-
paired in accordance with the terms OF the
permit the building was condemned. a
recent inspection, he says, shows that the
building has not yet been removed, as was
ordered a year ago.
Mr.. Ashford has, therefore recommended
that his original order for the removal OF
the building be inforced, and the Commits.
sIoners have approved the suggestion.

ong Shu Kee Buried Quietly Yesterday
Afternoon.

The remains of Ong Shu Kee were low
cred into grave in Congressional ceme-
terry yesterday afternoon in the presence of
three Of his Chinese friends and few curl
Gus people who followed the body from
points between the undertaking establish
ment Of ]. William Lee and the cemetery.
Ong was not possessed of much Of this
worlds goods and was not extremely popu-
lar with his ellow-countrymen. He was
jus. plain laundryman who did not visit
the gambling places of the Cinnamon and
make himself popular with the sporting ele-
m men, Had he been a leading light in the
been different. and he would have had a
much more elaborate funeral. While life
remained his friends looked after him in
their own way, but when death claimed
him his body was hurried off to the under
takers and was afterward buried.
Under ordinary circumstances China
man would have been seated on the hearSe
with the driver and would have dropped
imitation money along the streets to tempt
the evil spirits and attract them from the
corpse but the weather was too cold for
the one who was designated to perform
this service yesterday, and he rode in the
one carriage that followed the hearse
Evil spirits in the forms of small boys &C.
casionally stepped behind the cortege and
picked up the money to keep as souvenirs,
but certainly no invisible spirits were re-
sponsible for the disappearance of the fake
money. Upon reaching the cemetery the
driver of the hearse was directed to the
section in which the bodies of many
Cinnamon have been inferred, and the body
was soon resting over the opening into
which the remains of the laundryman were
SO soon to be lowered.
Several cups were placed about the grave,
and these were filled with liquid which
soon evaporated. Each time the liquid dis
appeared the cups were refilled. This was
done several times, and then the lighting
of punk and the burning of paper made
the affair take on a distinctive Chinese APP
pearance. This done, the body was lower
ed into the grave and small quantity of
earth thrown upon the box covering. Then
the Chinese friends of the deceased put in
some roast chickens and cooked rice and
the grave was filled. Some more punk was
burned and fake paper money destroyed.
The three friends had then finished the
ceremony at the grave, and the body was
left to rest there until such time as friends
will come and have it disinterred to be
taken to China,

PAUL ROBERTS HELD.
Must Answer for Death of Private
Lawrence Peck

Paul Roberts, the soldier who was arrest
ed Monday night for infiicting a fatal stab
wound in the chest of a companion named
Lawrence Peck as stated in yesterdays
Star, was held responsible for the latters
death at the inquest which was held yes
terday afternoon. The hearing was at the
morgue and was presided over by DR.. L. w.
Glazebrook, the acting coroner. Lieutenant
Mathews of the fourth precinct and Police
man Cullinane. who made the arrest, at
tended the hearing. The prisoner was not
attended by counsel. He showed that he
was affected by the tragedy, and every per-
son who was connected with the case ex-
pressed themselves as believing that there
was no intention on the part of Roberts to
stab his friend.
Nobody appeared at, the inquest to say
that there had been any manifestation of
unfriendliness on the part of either man
during the time they were engaged at play
ing tragedy, as the prisoner expressed it
after his arrest. Passengers on the car wit
messed their playful conduct and saw Peck
when he slid to the floor of the car. They
saw Roberts pull the bell cord to stop the
and then disappear from the vehicle.
This was done for the purpose of giving
him an opportunity to get the hat of the
wounded man, which had dropped from the
car. 1t was in evidence that after being
taken to the Emergency Hospital the wound
was explored and stitched. The doctor had
no idea that a vital organ had been in
jured One of the nurses noticed the change
in his condition two hours later and sum-
moned the doctor. Peck was then in
dying condition and there was nothing that
could be done for him. The autopsy showed
that the long blade of Roberts knife had
wounded Pecks heart and that his death
was due to loss of blood.
After the jury had rendered a verdict
holding Roberts for the action of the grand
jury he committed to Jail. On the way
to the Jail he conversed with the police
about the sad tragedy and repeated the
statement he made shortly after his arrest
that he had not the slightest idea of wound
ing Peck, who had been his friend and COM
panion the entire time they had been in the
service together.
