Women Stood on Seats While Men
Pursued Gobbler.

a score of passengers in a New York city
trolley car In turmoil fifteen minutes at
locked while the conductor and motorman
essayed to capture the frightened bird A
colored man boarded the car at SD street
with gunny-sack dangling from his Shout
der. He attracted no attention until he
began to snore in one corner of the car
Then the passengers watched him. The
bag slipped from his lap and the mouth of
1t sagged open. Suddenly head and neck
were thrust from the sack and two startled
eyes peered about. The head and neck were
followed by a plump body covered with
shiny black-blue feathers.
"A live turkey!" gasped the passengers.
The gobbler strutted out and tapped it's
wings energetically, raising a cloud of dust
The noise awoke the negro, who made a
lunge for the bird. but 1t escaped from
him. leaving bunch Of tail feathers in his
grasp.
Catch him! Catch hint. screamed the
colored man in dismay.
The car was stopped and both doors were
locked after the conductor and motorman
had entered the car. Women passengers
sprang on the seats as the car crew and
negro chased the gobbler The skirts of the
women appealed to the turkey as places Of
refuge. Never did a mouse create greater
terror than did that turkey! He made first

she shooed him away ran for those of
another.
The conductor finally caught the turkey

THE SEIZURE OF KOREA.
Declared to Be an Act of Pagan
Greed

Japans practical seizure of Korea was de-
nounced as a "cowardly, dishonorable act
of pagan greed by Edgar Walton White
of Denver. war correspondent for Golfers
and the New York Herald during the war
in Manchuria.
mo matter how We Americans may ad-
mire Japan for her valor and chivalry on
the battlefield" said Mr.. White, 'or for her
marvellous progress in the arts of peace, we
must now admit that 1t is possible for her
to do wrong. 1t is not yet two years since
Japan signed a treaty with Korea guaran-
teeing the integrity and independence of
the Korean empire and the peace and re-
pose of the imperial house. This was
signed February %, 1904, after the war
with Russia started and when Japan was
especially anxious for the good will of the
world. She was applauded literally for this
act in the American and European press.
Now that the treaty of Portsmouth IS
signed, Japan starts to Korea forthwith,
and. with the use of brides for those minis
tiers who could be bought, and of bayonets
for the emperor and the two ministers who
could not be bought, she seizes the govern
ment and imprisons the emperor in his own
palace"

PLACATED THE EMPEROR.
Marquit Ito Departed From Korea

A cablegram from Seoul, Korea, last night

emperor. Marquis Ito left today on a spe-
cial train for Fusan, his difficult task of
placating the Emperor of Korea having
been accomplished.

peror has been urged to repudiate the
agreement and cause the assassination of

The announcement that the American
legation would be withdrawn, and that
American interests would be placed in
charge of the consul general was the first
recognition by the powers of the japanese
protectorate over Korea The announce
ment came as q great surprise to the for
e1sn community and as shock to the
Korean government. In unofficial circles
there IL general wonder that America should
make the first move instead of Great Brit

her to recognize japanese predominance in

ToDAY,s FOOT BALL GAMES.
Last Game but One of Present Seasons
Contests.

This is the last day but one for the pres
ont foot hall season, and the last day but
one. in all probability, that the present rules
will be in vogue. The Army-Navy game on
Saturday winds up the season, and Is the
most important game remaining, While the
leading game today will be between Penn
sylyania and Cornell at Philadelphia. This
game always has big patronage regardless
of any difference in the ability of the con-
tending elevens indicated by previous per-
formances The most that Cornell hopes
for is to score on the Quakers and hold
them to a small score. To do 30 VIII be
some consolation for the Ithacans after a
poor season. The lineup of the Cornell
team will be as follows: Roadheuse, left
end; Cook, left tackle; Thompson. left
guard; Newman. center; O'Rourke. right
guard; Costello, right tackle; Van Orman,
right end; Newhall or Pollock. quarterback;
Waldes, left halfback; Gibson, right half
back; Halliday, fullback. The Pennsylvania
team will line up the same as 1t did against
Columbia. except that Folwell, one of the
best fullbacks in the east, will probably be
in his old place instead of Dennis. and Hob
son back at left guard instead of Junk
This will make Pennsylvania team the
same as in the Harvard game.
The climax of the season In the west will
take place in Chicago where two Of the
strongest teams in the country, Michigan
and Chicago, lock horns. The winner WILL
be the champion of the west, and with as
good a title to the championship of the
country as any other eleven. The schedule
for today follows:

sion lasting from 10 o'clock until 1 40 in
Annapolis. Md. yesterday. adopted the draft
of a bill for compulsory education which

education has already been adopted in about
thirty-two states and It Is said to be giving
excellent results. The difficulty in Maryland
was to prepare q law which would not be
too drastic or too inquisitorial.
The subject of compulsory education for
Maryland was first proposed by Mr.. E. STAN
ley Gary, who some four years ago began
to make q campaign for the adoption OF
such measure, and the action Of the
state board yesterday was very gratifying
to him.
The school board requested the leglsla-
tive committee, composed OF Messrs. John
G.. Rodgers, Clayton Purneu and Glenn
Worthingtcn, to attend the coming session
of the legislature with view to helping

Superintendent Stephens presented a re-
port on the condition of the Baltimore Col
ored Normal School and recommended that
they receive increased appropriation
from the coming general assembly. The
school now receives $1,000 and the superin-
tendent desires to have the amount in
creased to $4,000 This matter was referred
to the legislative committee.
Professor Murdaugh of State Normal
School No. 2. at Frostburg, submitted his
report to the board, showing the school to
be in excellent condition. He recommended
that an additional dormitory be built. as 1t
was much needed by the institution. This
matter was referred to Messrs. Worthing-
ton, Purnell and Stephens.
DR.. g. w. Ward, superintendent Of the
State Normal School Of Baltimore, asked
the privilege OF issuing catalogues not later
than June. thus enabling study of the
same during holiday months.
DR.. Ward also reported that Mr. Thomas
L. Gibson, who was recently appointed to
the chair of English, vice Miss Emma Tarr
resigned, has taken up the work
The question OF teachers pensions and
life certificates was not taken up at the
meeting, but was deferred until some future
date.
State Superintendent Stephens laid be-
fore the board his annual report, and was
complimented upon its prompt appearance
as the report heretofore has not reached
the board earlier than February.

WAS A SCIENTIST TO THE END.
How Virginia Educator and Athlete
Died Noting His Symphonic

The death OF Prof. A. G. Whitman of
Randolph Macon College of Virginia DEM
onstrated clearly the triumph Of mind over
matter. Prof. Wightman. an athlete, presi-
dent of the Interstate Athletic Association,
was stricken with paralysis in bed The
trained analytical mind OF the educator at
once grasped the fact that death was upon
him. He Immediately awakened his wife
and told her Of his condition.
The distressed woman cried out for ply
sician to attend her husband, but Prof
Wightman. knowing that there was no help
for him, chose rather to spend his few re-
naming hours with her in talking over his
earthly affairs. He explained deliberately
and at length to the young wife the en-
croachments OF the disease, which was felt
at first In the right foot, and which gradu-
ally crept UP the body until 1t attacked the
brain. He told the woman when II reached
tho knee and thigh and shoulder and
warned her that when the brain was at
tackled and the end was near he would lose
consciousness. During the several hours
that elapsed between the awakening of
Prof. Wightman and his death he explain-
ed to his wife his personal and private af-
fairs and gave her Instructions about his
life insurance.
Prof. Wightman seemed to look upon his
approaching death more as a problem for
his study than the end Of his earthly exist
ence. He would break OF In the relation

REPUBLICANS SPLIT
DIVIDE INTO FACTIONS ON RATE
REGULATION ISSUE
Senators EIkins and Foraker, Repre-
senting the Railways, Want to Limit
Legislation to Establishment of an
Interstate Commerce Court

Washington, d. c., Sept. 25.-State-
ments recently made by two promi-
nent republican members of the SEN
at committee on interstate commerce
indicate the strong possibility of a
split in that committee over the rail
road rate regulation question. Sena-
tor Elkins of West Virginia, chair
man of the committee, has declared
that his idea, an idea shared by Sen
ators Foraker. Kean and other rail
road senators on the committee, is
to report bill favoring the creation
of an interstate commerce court. This
| is not at all in accordance with the
presidents views on the subject and
| 1t is believed that certain western re-
| publicans on the committee will de-
cline to concur in the recommends
ton OF the railroad senators and will
prepare minority report, which will
have definite meaning.
DoIIiver for Regulation
Senator Deliver of Iowa, member
OF the committee, stands with the
president, and in recent interview
declared that bona fide rate regula-
;; ton BILL. one that embodied the presi-
dents ideas, would come out of the
committee, even if it came as a mi
nority report. It is believed that Sen
ator Cullom of Illinois sides with Sen
ator Dolliver and, possibly, Senator
Willard of Nebraska.
There are eight republicans and
five democrats on the interstate COM
mittee, and if the democrats join
forces with the republican senator's,
who sincerely favor a bill that will
mean something, they will be able to
defeat Senator Elkins and the rail-
road senators, who are secretly OPP
posed to rate regulation and who
would report nothing but a harmless
measure. The bill arranged by Sen
ator Dolliver might not be all the
democrats desire, but they could put
the republicans in an interesting posi-
ton in the senate if they voted with
the minority on the committee and
turned it into majority.
Railway Senators
The republicans on the committee
who are sure to stand by the railroads
are Senators Elkins, Kean, Aldrich,
and Foraker Senators Dolliver and
Cullom will be back of the minority
report. How Senator Clapp and Sen
ator Millard will vote is not known
yet.
The democrats are Senators Till
man, McLaurin, Carmack, Foster and
Newlands.
If Senator Dolliver can bring one
other republican senator to his way
of thinking, and can get the demo-
Gratis to vote with him he will have
majority of the committee. 1t will
be a majority of but one, yet that
will be enough, if Chairman Elkins
ever allows the bill to come to a
vote, to turn the minority into ma
jority report.
