HhRVARD'S PRESIDENT
 DISCUSSES FOOTBALL
A Break With Yale Wouldn't Hurt, He Says-Thinks Well Of the
 New Rules.

Cambridge, Mass. November 26.-Presi- dent Charles K. Eliot of Harvard univer- sity, when interviewed regarding the ru- mored break with Yale in athletic regula- tions, said
 Tt would do this university no harm to break athletic relations with Yale or with any other university, for that mat ter. As an example, the University of Wisconsin discontinued athletic relations this year with four of It's largest and strongest rivals, but still continues to prosper in athletics and in every other way as much as ever.
 T have not given much attention to football since l saw the Carlisle game and have not read the details of Satur- days game with Yale. I know what the score was that there were few injuries ] must say, however, that football has been greatly improved this year; it has less injuries and is much more openly played. That is why l enjoyed it better.
 'I shall look into the Yale game and the whole season of football, and then draw my conclusions"

Farmer" Burns AY71bes
 WiU Train f0r Stone

Farmer Burns, the most scientific wrestler who has as yet appeared in Bir- mingham, arrived yesterday for the match next Friday night with Charles Stone, the huge swede, styled "the coming .ham- pion."
 As those who are intimate with the vet eran are aware, Burns never boasts. He states that he knows he has steered dp against a tough proposition, and it would not surprise him if he were beaten. He states that he will eXpend his every ef- fort to win, and is confident that Stone, with all his weight and strength, will. be made aware of the fact that his hands are full.

From Stones first and only appearance in Birmingham he filled local enthusiasts with wonder at the ease with which ne handled Griffin. He is the strongest man who has yet appeared on the local mat, his nimbleness and activity are marvel lous, and that he is exceedingly skillful is not doubted. On the other hand, Burns is a veteran in the game, and there are not a few people in the city who will back him to win until it is known that he has not another master. An interesting fact in connection with this match Is that Gotch is the only man who has scored q victory over either of the wrestlers in Birmingham.

New York, November 26.-United States corning an alleged interview with him published in this city in which he was quoted as saying that he would not re- sign his office as senator.
 T have not said I would not resign. I saw no reporter; in fact, nor have l said to anybody that 1 would not send in my resignation to Governor Higgins.
 T never said to any newspaper man that would stay in Washington all wln- ter. In fact, the whole interview about my refusal to resign is untrue. I have said nothing, nor am I going to say any thing now"

James Anderson, who for several years has been closely identified with athletics at the University of Alabama, arrived in Birmingham yesterday and is making all preliminary arrangements for the game. He states that the teams are about even ly matched, in spite of the fact that Alabama seems to have a shade the bet ter of the argument by comparative scores. He expects a great game. The Alabama team, he says, is in perfect trim.

 Information from Tuscaloosa is to the effect that Sims will in all probability be admitted to the Alabama Tennessee game, as all charges against his legality as a player can be easily disproved. Affidavits are at present in the hands of the of ficials of the association to the effect that his matriculation, leave of absence and return were all in accordance with the stipulation of the association.

GANG OF THIEVES
 WORK IN COLUMBUS
MERCHANTS OF THE MISSISSIPPI TOWN HAVE BEEN VICTIMS. NEVILLE, A NEGRO, IS FOUND MURDERED IN BED.

Columbus. Miss, November 26.-(spe- cial )-The merchants of this city nave been at the mercy of thief trust for some months past, 20 developments proved one day last week. Justice Bev. Mattews received an anonymous estter one day last week in which the writer stated that porter of the Columbus Dry Goods company had stored at his home in Robertson's addition lot of merchant dise barrels and half barrels of four, sacks of salt and oats, etc; in fact, enough goods to start a store. Upon re- ceipt of the letter Justice Mattews called on MT Ledyard Vaughn, manager of the Columbus Dry Goods company. and informed him of the contents Of the letter he had received. MT. Vaughn ex- pressed great surprise and hesitated whether or not to believe the story, his porter being negro minister and seemingly of good character. Futurs de- velopments proved, however, that MT. Vaughn had been badly fooled In the negro Frierson's home was searched and sure enough the goods were there, enough to stock a good-sized store F5e officers learned that in addition to the goods stored at Frierson's home there was a large quantity of sheets, clothing, dry goods and several pistols and guns hid in the home of a negro, Major Lewis, living in the Cherokee neighborhood. near this city. His house was searched and the goods being found were brought to this city and stored away by Justice Mat tews, to await the outcome of the trial. At least dozen of the leading firms of the city have had goods stolen from them. Fourteen negroes have so far been ar- rested, and other arrests may follow. The culprits were placed in the county jail in this city to await their trial.

Sam Neville, a negro, who lived on the plantation of Mrs. M. E. Gunter. five miles southeast of this city, on the Pick ensville road, was waylaid and killed last Tuesday night. The body was found at an early hour the following morning by negro living on an adjoining place The dead negro was lying in the road on,y short distance from his home with Url- let hole in his abdomen, which left no | doubt as to the cause of his death. The gastly find was reported to Justice J. J. | Ellis and a jury of inquest was impan- eled to inquire into the cause of the ne- sro's death. It was developed at the ln- | quest that about o'clock last Tuesday | night a messenger arrived at Nevilles home and informed him that his father, who lives on a neighboring plantation.
 had been suddenly stricken with paralysis and wanted his son to come at once. Soon after the message was delivered Neville sarted for the house of his father, and was never seen alive again. Testi nony brought out at the inquest served to mi plicate two negroes named Febb MeCGa and will Lee, who were arrested and placed in the jail for safekeeping. Those | familiar with Neville's character state that he was quite popular with the ne- gro women of the neignborhood and h's attentions to some dusky females are believed to have been The cause of his murder The two negroes who are now in iail will probably have a preliminary hearing at an early date, and it will then be determined whether they will remain in iail or be liberated on bond to await the action of the grand jury.
