for over a week. under the leadership
of Chief Cheerer Bully" Moore. they
have assembled in the chapel for an
hour every night and practiced a
number of songs and yells with which
they will make things lively in Norfolk
Thanksgiving day.
Last night by far the most enthu-
siastic mass meeting of the year was
held. The entire student body as
sembled in the chapel and kept things
lively with songs and yells until the
team marched in, when they brought
the house down. The band up in the
gallery was in the meantime doing it's
part to add to the enthusiasm of the
occasion. Short talks were made by
ex-Captain Stewart and Profs. Herty
Smith, and Noble, after which the
crowd called on the individual mem
bers of the team. Several of these re-
sponded and each one expressed his
perfect confidence and determination
TO win or die. The crowd then formed
in front of the chapel and with torches
marched through the town and up
the campus, meanwhile MAX
ing the welkin ring with songs ana
yells. Enthusiasm and college spirit
is now drawn to the highest tension,
and the students are all behind the
team yelling for victory.
A special train from here will leave
morning at five O'Clock for
Norfolk and between three and four
students win go to witness the
game.

Washington, y. c.. Nov ga seri-
Gus accident occurred on the Norfolk
and Southern road just a few miles
from this city last night, as a result
of which Captain Goodredge, the
master of the bridges and trestle work
lies in the Washington hospital in a
precarious condition. There is no
hope entertained by the physicians
for his recovery.
After the days work was finished,
Captain Goodredge and his gang OF
men started TO his home in a hand
car. The captain as was his habit
occupied Il seat. on the front of the
car while the hands propelled the
machine. They We're going down the
track at the rate of fifteen miles per
hour with no light. Another hand-car'
loaded with crOSs-ties and rubbish
propelled by the men from the rear
was making its way to this city. This
car also contained no light. The noise
of both cars prevented the men from
hearing each, SO when near the river
road station both crashed into each
other.
One of the pieces of wood on the
car coming towards here struck Cap
tain Goodredge on the forehead crush
ing his skull. Another piece of timber
mashed his feet SO badly that a hens
egg could be inserted in the wound.
The unfortunate man was taken to
Bunyan and medical assistance from
here phoned for. He was taken to the
Washington hospital where he was
operated upon last night. A large part
of the skull bone was removed. Blame
is attached only to those operating the
cars.

THE ANTIPASS BILL DIES

PROPOSITION.

A. K. Wares antipass bill failed to
pass the lower house yesterday after OBJ
tanning only forty-two votes, whereas
sixty are necessary. There we're many
absentees, and these with those who re-
fused to vote are responsible for the
death Of the measure, as it is believed
that the ma ority Of the "dodgers'
would have been compelled to vote for
the bill if they voted at all. Several
members were in conference committees
and were not called out.
A. K. Ware and Marcus Lauritsen
were the principal speakers for and
against the bill. The latter argued
that the acceptance Of passes did not
affect the indepeh5 snce of the mem
bers and cited the reciprocal demurrage
bill as an instance. The vote was as

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, April 12.--Senator Reed
Smoot has failed to make good his
pledge to the senate committee on
privileges and elections this spring,
when his case was under investigation,
by challenging the polygamistic char
acter Of the apostolic quorum Of the
Mormon church.
This information was contained in q
telegram received by Mrs. Darwin r.
James, president Of the International
Council of Women, for Christian and
patriotic service, from Frank j. Cannon,
editor Of the Salt Lake Tribune. Mr..
Cannon g telegram says:
According to Reed Shoots testimony
before the senatorial committee at
Washington he had last October chal-
lenged the polygamistio character OF the
apostolic Quorum. The investigation
was promised by President Smith. The
present conference ends without Smoot's
appearance. No reference to investiga-
ton. Instead, all monogomistic appear
ance swept away and polygamistic char
acter established by unanimous vote OF
amous hierarchy
Shoots challenge and investigation
were mere pretense. Smoot guided en-
tirely by Smith.
Senator Shoots case has not been
finally acted upon, either by the senate
committee or the senate itself. The
committee on privileges and elections
is about equally divided on Senator
Shoots case, with possibility that a
| ma ority may be against him.

The Governor Reasons.
The best information Of which am
possessed reveals to me the fact that
chiropractic, so-called, Is a discovery Of
very recent origin, and was discovered
and developed by men who were not

! It is not apparent to me that the devotees
| Of this so-called art in this state are DOS
sessed Of the proper knowledge Of anat-
| omy and kindred subjects to properly
| constitute a board for the examination OF
others in those subjects.
! The enactment Of a law creating g. state
| board OF ch1ropract1c examiners and reg
istration, and to regulate the practice OF
chiropractic In the state of Minnesota,
and to license chiropractors, will dignity
this new and untried school to the extent
| that the people will look to it as pana-
cea and remedy for the ills to which the
human body Is heir, and must from the
very nature OF that confidence so estab.
