THE GRIDlRON
THE FIRST
 GAME WON
All Waterburys Prove Their Superiority Over the Fort Terry Roys-Results of All College Games.

The football game at Riverside park yesterday afternoon between the All Waterbury team and Fort Terry at tracted one of the largest crowds ever seen at game in this city and one of the most pleasant features was the manner in which the spectators kept off the field and allowed the players to put forth their best efforts. As for rather disappointing and the home team had no trouble in winning by the score of 21 to 0. The military boys, all though as heavy as their opponents, were very, very slow, and seemed to be not very learned in the fine points of the game. Only once during the en- tire game did they make first down, and then it was so close that there was some doubt about it. Many expected to see the local team outplayed as re gards speed and the finer points of the game, but they were agreeably sur prised as 1t was just the reverse. The showing of the winning team was most encouraging and the coaching of Harry Batchelder was very much in evidence Although the weather was warm, an idCdl LOOtudii uuy Dy uU hCdhss lAc All-Waterbury team played with 8 snap and vim that was good to watch and which if continued will i'll all probability make it very formidable aggregation Their defense was equal ly as good as their offensive and one thing which is worthy of notice was the few fumbles the local team had.
 Fort Terry kicked off and after about ten plunges five and six yards at a down, Stowe was pushed over for the first touchdown. Cronan missed the goal. No. more scoring was done in this half.
 During the intermission game was played between the Quakers and the Cadet Jrs which was a beautiful slug ging match. The contest waged so warm that it had to be stopped. Score, Cadets II, Quakers 0.
 Waterbury kicked of for the second and the soldier boys brought it back for fifteen yards. They were unable to make their distance and Waterbury got the ball. Mat Byrnes then car ried 1t for a neat run of thirty-five yards for a touchdown. Hayes failed to kick goal, after a kickout had been made.
 From this time on the servants of Uncle Sam had no' show and it was only a question of what the score would be. Two more touchdowns were made. Shields missed his try at goal, hut Sheehan put his over the bars, the only one during the afternoon.
 For Waterbury the work of Stowe, Newhart, Byrnes and Hannon was ex- cellent, while Captain Campbell did the best work for his warriors. Score 21 to O. The lineup:

The first touchdown was made by hard line bucking and by slow but steady gains. Then Georgetown apparently lost nerve Shortly after the kickoff with the ball well down in Princeton's ter ritory, where Georgetown had got it on tumble, the visitors in turn fumbled, and FrEer was on hand to seize the ball. He picked it up and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. Bard and Daub did excellent work in end runs.

MYSTERY OF STREED
MURDER IS CLEARING

Cambridge, Ill, Oct. "Details Of
the mystery of the death of Attorney
John Y. Streed are gradually coming to
light, which tend to show that the well
known lawyer was slain in an i'm
promptu duel fought in the night In
dications are that at least two bullets
were fired and two persons were wound
ed.
That developments point strongly to
the murder theory is admitted frankly
in official circles. It seems now pretty
well established that the attack ! on
Streed was the result of a series of eff
forts at blackmail among a gang,
which had been operating here for
long time.
The duel theory agrees with the evi-
dence Of Henry White, cashier of the
First National bank, who says he thinks
he heard two shots fred on the fatal
night. In his opinion the blood on the
outside of the house where Streed was
killed, came from a wound OH some per-
son other than the dead lawyer. This
would also account for the. spots OF
blood on the back stairs, the theory be-
ing that the murderer, slightly wounded,
hastened to Streed s rooms to get pos

Single Blessedness In New York city
One Of the surprises Of the census taken
this year is the large number of persons
who live alone in New York. says Harriet
Quinby in Lesle's Weekly for Oct. S. 1t
was remarked by an official of the census
bureau that the greatest loneliness ex-
lists in the busiest municipality of the
western world, and the statement was
verified by the reports Of the enumera
tors, who found the city filled with thou
sands Of unattached persons. They live
in boarding houses, in the new skyscrap-
ing hotels, in the many Broadway cara
vansaries, and in: hundreds of bachelor
apartments and studios. OF artists and
art students alone there are said to be
about 5000, majority Of whom are
women A considerable number occupy
studios or apartments and live on the CO.
operative plan. 1t was thought when the
census was undertaken early in the
spring, that the class known as bache-
lors would be small, and only 10000
blanks or individual slips, were asked
for as the first installment. But before
the census taking had fairly begun it was
found that many more slips were needed,
and lots of 10, 900 were repeatedly ordered
When the census reports were collected
and filed away the records contained the
names of several hundred thousand per-
sons in the city of New York who are
living in 6. solitary state. , ,.:f

A Strong Recommendation.

1t is rather remarkable fact that
the great. state Of Ohio has no bank
ing law worthy the name. A banking
journal admits that the financial laws
Of Ohio are very weak. They are, it
says, practically worse than no laws.
Now Ohio wants banking department
with efficient examination and supervi-
sion of banks. Governor >Herrick, him
: self banker, has recommended such
legislation. Yet there is some opposi.
tion. Governor Herrick admits having
received a protest from seven bankers
against the passage of bill, but on
looking up the record Of his callers, he
found that five Of the seven had failed
during the two years of his incumbency
of the office of governor. Surely this
should be strong recommendation of
the banking bill.

Curious Feature of the Strike.

printers strike is the application made
by the strike leaders to the governor

not; but the application is worth some

water and has obtained employment as
printer in St. Paul. He is a union
man, and when the strike occurred he
wanted to strike also. But he coul6
not quit work without bringing down
upon himself the wrath of the board

without being brought under suspicion
that he was not true to the union. .Ir
this quandary he applied to the state
Tor permission to strike and to the
union for permission to work. without
losing his standing. -. Y,
I The board of control will very likely
decree that it is much more important
that man of his caliber work thar
that he should strike. AS striker he
would be subject to temptation. Idle
ness is not good for any man, especially
not good for men who have been founc
wanting in self-control to that extent
that the state. had to take charge Of
their affairs. BY continuing at his work
he cannot do the strike any harm, but
by idling on the streets he might dc
himself and his family great wrong. Il
is hard to see why the union should
want such man in the strike.

The Reapportionment Problem.

Reapportionment Of the state for
legislative purposes is due at the next
session, in 1907. It will then be ten
years after the last reapportionment,
and as the constitution provides that
the state may be redistricted at the
session Immediately following a = CEN
sus, there is every reason why the pres
ent inequality should be corrected by
the next legislature. A system which
gives one section of the state. twice as
much influence as another, in proper
tion to population, cannot be corrected
too soon. .<-.~,,-.s z,s :,
Politicians are predicting, however,
that no reapportionment will be made
before 1909, and perhaps not even then.
The trouble is that the state senate
will be elected next year for four-year
terms. If a new apportionmen ent is made
to take effect at the 1908 election, a
good many Of those senators will be
legislated> out Of office ahead Of time.
The house will be willing for the
change, but the new senate is expected
to block action in 1907.
It is sad forecast of the caliber of
the new senate, if it's members are
counted on to place selfish personal in
terests higher than the question of
justice and equal representation. The
senators from the new northern dis
tricts, which will gain by reapportion-
ment, must favor the move, and it will
be the senators from the southern coun-
ties who will obstruct it, if: any one.
Unfortunately for reapportionment, the
districts which are due to. lose mem
bers will have a controlling influence
in the senate. There are twenty-one
counties in the southern section of the
state that have a senator apiece. With
one-f fifth Of the state s population, they
have one-third of the senate member.
