NEW YORK, Dec. 24.--It was a plain
ordinary iron nail which saved the life
Of Charles Beisert. 20 years old, car
penter of Brooklyn, when yesterday Y
afternoon he lost his footing while
working on the scaffold Of four-story

and the doctors at st. Marys hospital
declare that he will be well enough in
a few days to resume work.
Beisert was working away on the
scaffold of a new building. He tripped
over a loose board and fell over the
guard rail In his fall he received con-
tusions about the body from coming
in contact with cross beams. 1t was
at the first story where the nail was
protrudlng from one of the uprights of
the scaffold. As Belsert passed 1t his
flying coat tail came in contact with
it and for few seconds he was dam
Cling In the air. Then the coat gave
way under the strain and he landed on
the ground on his feet.
Before he was taken away Beisert
requested one of his fellow workmen
to draw the nail which saved his life.
He wanted II as a souvenir.

WILL PLAY LAST
FOOTBALL TO-DAY
INDIANS AND ST. VINCENTS
TO CONTEND
Game Promises to BE No Walkover
for the Braves and Hsgserty
Anticipates a Hard
Struggle

The Sherman Indian football team
will arrive this morning from River
side prepared to meet the st. Vincent
college eleven on the Fiesta gridiror
at $3.50 this afternoon.
The game Is to be the last import
ant football contest of the year and
both elevens are ready to put ur the
strongest sort of an argument in order
to win the final game.
Coach Hempel has said that he does
not expect n neasy game and the VIM
centians are even counting on play
Ing the redskins to q standstill. The
braves have the weight in their favor
but the discrepancy is not sufficient to
warrant predictions of walkover.
Haggary anticipates a close game and
does not believe that his men will en-
ter the contest with the chances against
them. He Is placing confidence on the
team has made at times during the past
season and expects that today's game
will exhibit the real caliber Of the
eleven.
Hempel has been taking no chances
of q possible defeat and is bringing his
men to Los Angeles trained for hard
fast game. Neaphus will do the punt
ing in this afternoons contest and is
to pit his lootwork against Wilhoit OF
the paleface team.
Wilhoit has been punting consistent
ly for fifty yards during the last week,
and Haggerty Is relying to some extent
on the kicking of his lengthy tackle.
Seeley will not be In the game and
Martin Mcdonald will give the signals
Mounier will probably take Phillips
place as the latter became Ill several
days ago and will not be able to parti-
cipate ir today's game.
Acker, Andreas and Cunningham are
scheduled for the back field and should
be a match for the secondary defence
of the Indians. McElroy will be at end
for the first time since the Stanford
game and If he plays UP to his former
style will add strength to the Vincen-
tian defense.

STAMFORD, Conn, Dec. 24.--If the
Rev. George G. Richmond, curate of st.
Johns Episcopal church, has his way
the population of Hades will eventual
ly be vastly increased by the insurance
magnates and grafters now under in
Vestigation i'll New York city.
BY reason of his wholesale condem-
nation of rich sinners the parlshion-
ers OF st. Johns intend to dispense
with Mr.. Richmond's services. There
are many very wealthy families in the
congregation and they object to any
radical selection of their future abode
by curate who is supposed to guide
them gently in the proper path.
The particular sermon to which the
parishioners of st. Johns object was
delivered last Sunday at a memorial
service OF the Elks.
In effect Mr.. Richmond said that any
business man who received salary of
$4,000 was a thief.
The Rev. Mr.. Richmond said today:
II did not realize that I was saying
anything to cause a commotion or
comment.
IT am not sorry; I'm not afraid, and
have nothing to take back. l should
like, however. to amplify the remark
made to some extent. It's meaning
should be brought out more fully.

York there was a young man in the
church who was employed by the
Equitable Life at $12.50 a week. l

cred that he had stolen $4,000 from
the company and he was sent to
prison.
Now, who is the greater sinner;
that young man or Hyde?
Il tell you. Hyde will be in hell for
an eternity as compared with the term
that young man should spend there"
One Of the most prominent members
of the congregation of st. Johns S
church said today:
"The trouble with Mr. Richmond is
that is is too outspoken. do not
want my name mentioned in this af-
fair, but you can say that he will
preach no more in st. Johns church.
Hes continually saying things he
should not; always harping. in fact.
upon the sins of the wealthy. Now,
there are many wealthy men in the
congregation and they naturally re-
sent it.
