SuYbYises AYe he Features
 or This Years Football

Then Brown walked up and there was something doing. For the remainder of the half the playing was almost entirely in Crimson territory. In the second half the brown-togged players went after Har- yard in hammer and tongs fashion. Brown received the kickoff and punted, her ends throwing the Harvard full back for seven yards loss. On the next play, the ball went to Brown on a tumble. and then occurred one of the prettiest bits of work that have ever been pulled off in the Stadium. The Brown players seemed to realize that their time had come Around right end their left half-back reeled off twenty-two yards. The next play was a fake pass and dash down the sidelines that put the ball on Harvards 20-yard line. Then came a wicked forward pass that laid the pigsl<in on the 3-yard line. Two plunges into the line covered the maining distance and the Brown contin- gent went wild The only thing that kept them from scoring again was the mighty leg of Burr, who whenever Harvard got the ball, booted it out of danger. The Crimson finally won out in the same man. ner as did Yale: on a placement kick from a fair catch.
 The new rules which have beeen looked on so far with more or less of disfavor are every day gaining converts here. The game Saturday, which was really the first fair test that they have had in the Stadium, was one of the most spectacu- lar ever played here At all stages, the game was open and the ball could be kept up with, and the vast crowd of fif- teen thousand was scarcely able to stay seated, so brilliant were the plays and so rapidly did they follow one after the other.

FIELD TRIALS POSTPONED.
This Action Is Taken to Prevent Con-
 fIict With Pointer Club.

The president secretary and board of directors of the Alabama Field Trials club. in view of the conflict in dates with the Pointer club of America trials, that will be held in North Carolina the week beginning December II, have decided to change the original date for holding the Alabama Field trials to the week be- ginning December +.
 This change was largely one in re- sponse to pressure that was brought 10 bear by professional handlers who desired to attend and participate in both trials and were unable to do so on account of conflict in dates. The trials will be helG here as usual.
 The closing of the stakes will remain as before, viz: The Open Derby, Novem- Der 15 Free for All, December l, and the Membership Stake, December l.
 By making this postponement of one week in the commencement of the trials, it will enable the professional handlers to make the entire field trials circuit and insures large attendance at the Hunts vile trials.
 The Open Derby and the Free for All nave puiSCS ol pouu NctCl, while the membership stake is open only to amateur Alabama owners handling their dogs.
 The preserve of the club is one Of the finest in the south. The country for the most part is open and level, while birds are there in great abundance.
 The Alabama Field Trials club is de- eirous that every Alabamian who is in- terested in the development of the pointer and setter should attend and participate in the trials.
 In the past the meetings of the club have been quite successful and many of the most celebrated pointers and setters have been enterd in the various stakes offered by the club.
 Secretary J. NJ. Kirkpatrick of Hunts vile will furnish on application any ad- ditional information relative to the trials.

Associates Make Report.
ORDERED TO PUSH WORK.
Sub-Contracts for Capitol Work Must
 Be Let at Once.

Montgomery. November 7.-(Special)- At meeting of the state capitol com mission today q detailed report was pre- sented by the architect, setting forth the present status of the progress on the south wing.
 Among other things. he reported that fair progress is being made on the brick work but that several of the sub-con- tracts were not yet placed.
 He was instructed to confer with the contractor and to say to him that these must be let at once. He was further in- structed to see that the contractor rapid ly pushed every class of work on the building. in order that everything might go along to completion at the same time.
 By this method it is hoped that force of at least l5O men will be put to work within the next week, thus pushing to early completion.

Cambridge, Mass, November I-(Spe- cial.)-Surpises have been the particular feature all the fall, but those that were pulled off Saturday beat all previous per formances. Every one of the big games gave those who have followed the sport a rather rude shock The Harvard-Brown game was looked upon as a sure thing for the Crimson; the Yale-West Point game was expected to be close, but not so close as it turned out to be; the Prince ton-Dartmouth contest was doped to be hotly contested; and the Indians who so recently swamped Pennsy, were to make a run-away affair of their game with Syracuse But look at the results: Yale 10, Army 6 Harvard 9, Brown D; Princeton 42 Dartmouth 0; Carlisle 9, Syracuse 4.
 But the scores do not tell the whole story: one would have had to see the games to appreciate what they were. During the first half of the Yale-Army game the cadets played all over the Blue and the half ended with the score 6 to O in favor of the former Yale had to send in new quarter to help matters out and it was only bull dog determination that finally turned the tide. After all there was nothing but consolation in Yale's victory, for all of her scoring was done on what might be considered as fukes. Her only touchdown came from a blocked kick which was fallen on be- hind the Armys goal, and the second came from q place kick that would have been missed four out of five times.
 I,n Showing of the Crimson eleven, which two weeks ago was considered so promising, for Brown though the loser, played rings around their heavier opponents. In every department of the game. except kicking, the boys from Providence were superior. Their tackling and passing were the most spectacular seen on Soldiers field this season. Harvard went in with rush and after n short while had rushed the ball over for touchdown. having used straight football for the greater part.

Raises Question of veracity.

When the part was read charging Pres ident Fish with having made deal with J. T. Harahan. it's truthfuness was in- stantly denied, and a straight issue of veracity was raised
 President. Fish opened the meeting by expressing the opinion that the general counsel of the company should be called upon to settle three points:
 l. Whether it was illegal to hold an election of general officers outside of Illinois
 2 Whether the charter did not provide that the committees on law and finance. and on railroad, should be elected at a regular meeting and not a special meet ing. and
 2. If the constitution of the state of Illinois granting the company its char ter does not provide that:
 No railroad corporations shall consol- idate it's stock, property or franchises with any other railroad corporation own ing "a parallel or competing. line, and in no case shall any consolidation take place except upon public notice given of at least sixty days to all stockholders in such manner as may be provided by the law.
 "A majority of the directors of any railroad corporation now incorporated or hereafter to be incorporated by the laws of this state shall be citizens and resi- dents of this state.
 Governor Deneen declined to vote on the question raised until the attorney general of Illinois had given an opinion

COMER READS HIS
 ANNUAL REPORT Attempted Revision of Cotton
 Rates Unsuccessful URGES SOME NEW LAWS Reports of Associate Commissioners Find Roadbeds Generally In Pretty
 Good Shape, Differing
 From Mir. Conner.
URGES SOME NEW LAWS

Montgomery, November 7.-(Special) J. Annual reports were made by the state railroad commission today at a session which lasted until after dark. One was made by President Conner, and one by the two associate commissioners.
 President Conner reported that the at tempt to revise rates on cotton to mills in Alabama was the only rate effort of the year and noted that the failure to do so was brought about by his associates, he hiInself, believing them too high and at times badly discriminating against Alabama farmers and mills.
 Some Roadbeds Are Bad.
 He had found the roadbed of the Louis- vile and Nashville and the Alabama Great Southern in good shape, but the Frisco, the Central of Georgia and the Seaboard needing attention. He criticised the Southern on it's track in some of the branches. He had noted complaints of failure to provide cars and collec- tion of demurrage, the fact that roads could not be Gorced to maintain agents that the Georgia rates are higher than Alabama and charged as agreement of the rail lines to cripple the port of Mo- bile
 President Conner advised laws to make it possible for agents to be provided at stations needing them, fixing q maximum rate Of freight not higher than the pres ent schedules to enforce quick collec- ton of claims, to force provision of cars to move business, car service rates that will penalize the railorads as well as the eonsignors for delays, to enforce con- meeting schedules with water routes, to prohibit increase in capital stock of rail- ways without the knowledge and permis- sion of the commission or some other authorized body, also where stock is in- creased for betterments a full history of the proposed betterments be filed with the commission, that common carriers submit books to the commission for in- spection and that ample means be pro- vided to look into them, and that tele- graph and telephone lines be placed un- der the control of the commission.
 Associates Make Report.
 The report of the associates indicated that they had found road beds as a rule in pretty good shape and had not made any special rate revisions because the circumstances did not seem to justify it.. In the meeting of the commission it was decided to urge the railroads to provide more cars though there is no law to order them to do so. Application for de- pot at Marbury was withdrawn and for depots at Longview, Iogiward and Jones' boro continued. Petition for removal of the depot at Fruithurst was also con- tinued Questions of switching charges by the Birmingham Southern and rate | on ear wheels from Birmingham to Sel- ma went over to the next session.

No action was taken on the points raised by MT Fish
 Hartman Makes Statement.
 The election then took place. After the meeting F. II. Hartman said:
 This is not my fight. It is the fight of the board of directors and Mr. Fish. l acceded to the July agreement regard ing the election of directors at the an- nual meeting only in difference to the wishes of the board. The July agree ment was made primarily to quiet the public camor which was being raised in the press and to silence the various recriminations which were being made in the public prints as an outcome of the contention which had arisen in the board of directors. Personally I had not a word to say at today's meeting of the board. The board took no action what ever in regard to the appointment of any committee to take charge of the manage ment of the road"

Novel Suit Against Standard.

New Orleans, November 7.-Sut was to- day filed against the Standard oil com pany to compel that corporation to take out and pay for license as hawker and peddler for the years 1903 to 1906 inclusive. The suit was filed by the state of Louisi- ana through the state tax collector who alleges that the company owes license fees of $3500
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-11-08

entire intention of the agreement in re- spect of the vacancy was to eliminate you as the person to select and substitute the judgment and action on the majority of the directors.
 'The simple fact appears to be that, regardless of your written promise, on the faith of which you were entrusted with the proxies, you found no difficulty in satisfying yourself that your personal interest, and the interest of the com- pany are identical, and that any action was justiliable to assist to secure your control.
 This incident is the climax of a series of events during the past few years, showing an inability on your part to distinguish between the powers and duties of the president and those of the di- rectors of a corporation.
 Not Admit Greater Loyalty.
 we will not for a moment admit that you are more loyal to the stockholders, or more keenly alive to the interests ot the public performance of the public duties of the company, than your fellow directors; nor will we, while directors of the company, permit you to assume to act as the entire board, to make agree ments and to violate them, or to asperse the motives of your fellow members in the expectation of securing personal ad- vantage at their expense.
 ''The situation is solely of your own creating; but in view of what has taken place, of your deliberate violation of an agreement intended to produce peace in the board and your attitude toward your fellow members, We are convinced that you have rendered impossible that harmony which must exist between the president of the company and individual members of the board and that you have so seriously impaired your usefulness as an officer of the company as to compel us to refuse to vote in favor of your re- election.
