Harvard Worthy Foeman.

Harvard proved worthy fOeman. Her
men repeatedly shone conspicuously and
the flashes of brilliancy in over plays as
time and again her backs broke through
the line and her stalwart guard, Burr,
sent the ball twisting through the air on
long punts, seemed to be entitled to a
reward Harvard was tTifle slow in ex-
ecuting her plays which. as last year.
seemed to hinge on her great strength on
defense Yale's success lay in playing Of
fenSively at the opening, driving her plays
hard and taking advantage of every open
ing when her opponents had the bail In
reference, forward passes and inside
kicks were well developed. Not once did
Yale man have to run down the field
nearing the close Yale played faster and
rolled the crimson line into heap time
and again. 1t was only Harvard's stub
born contest Of every inch that kept the
score at the single figures.
Forward Pass Does 1t.
The touchdown followed a sensational
play. Yale had the ball on Harvard's
25-yard line. Jones called for a kicking
formation. Veeder dropped back to the
34-yard line with his hands outspread. A
perfect pass from Hookenburger sent the
ball into his hands and Veeder, like
flash. started at right angles and hurled
the ball over the heads of the Harvard
men for a 30-yard pass to where several
Yale men, as though drawn by a magnet.
had jumped into one little knot. Up from
their midst leaped Forbes. who caught
the ball, and in an instant placed it down
on the courtyard line. Up jumped the
Yale hosts, with cries for a touchdown,
while the crimson side was hushed. Room,
who had replaced Knox, was sent to
smash the crimson line. His first try
gave two yards and the next time he was
shot over with the whole team dragging
and pushing him. That four yards
showed what Yale could do when she was
hungry for the score whOch was so close
at hand. The kicking of goal was an
easy thing for Veeder.

HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
Young Man Who Was Recently As
sauIted Under Treatment.

Interest In the several recent assault
cases was renewed yesterday when the
police learned that Allen Harrison, who was
attacked near the Massachusetts Avenue
bridge at the time Miss Mary Hunt was SO
roughly handled, had been removed to the
Sibley Hospital to be operated upon by DIR.
Elliott. The surgeon found that the young
man had received depressed fracture of
the skull and that his condition was some
what serious. 1t is thought the apparent
Indifference of the patient at times to the
details of the occurrence was due to his
condition, the depression having had some
effect upon his brain. 1t was feared he had
been fatally injured but Dr. Elliott stated
that he thought the young man would fully
recover.
An operation was performed upon Harri-
son at the hospital today. 1t was stated at
the hospital this afternoon that the patient
was In good condition and that his recov-
cry Is expected. The stones that were used
by the colored assailant of the young cou-
pie were found on the bank of the creek
near the scene of the assault and the police
are holding them to be used as evidence In
event of the capture of the individual who
used them.
The Anacostia police became convinced
that John Bggs the suspect in the case of
Mrs Amelia Fields, had nothing to do with
the assault and robbery of Mrs. Fields last
week, and accordingly discharged him.
Blggs Is the man who said he came here
from Richmond and that he was in Ana
costa the morning that the crime was
committed. This morning the police re-
ceived a new clue In the case and they are
working hard to overtake the man who is
suspected.
Nothing has developed in the case of Mrs
Emma Jett, who was held up on the Mill
Ford road near her home last week, nor has
the alleged assault upon Mrs. Rosaiie Moore
on 9th street.

MADE GOOD HER ESCAPE
DARING EXPERIENCE OF WOMAN
PRISONER AT HOTEL.

An earnest effort is being made by De-
tectives Peck and Warren to capture Emma
Jackson. colored domestic, who Is wanted
to answer a charge OF having stolen a gold
watch from the room Of Mrs. Kate Ed
wards In the Regent Hotel. The detectives
had the woman in custody Saturday even
Ing but she managed to get away from
them under conditions that were dangerous.
the woman risking her life in order to
escape. Her daring effort proved successful.
She was employed in the hotel as a do
mestic and had access to the rooms. When
the loss of the watch was reported and the
detectives made an investigation they sus-
pected that Emma could give them some
definite information respecting the where
abouts of the timepiece. They found her
Saturday, but she denied that she had COM
mitted the theft
You will have to go to headquarters any
way" one of the detectives told her.
~ don't mind doing that" she remarked,
but l would like to change my clothing
before co.
The woman was then on the fourth floor
of the hotel and Detective Peck thought
there would be no improperly in permitting
her to change her costume In order to pre-
sent better appearance on the street. PROB
ably because of the long distance above the
ground the detective never gave the matter
of the prisoner escaping a thought, but he
was surprised later on when he found that
the room had been vacated by Emma and
that she had not departed in the usual way.
A sheet tied to a gas fixture and one end
dangling from the window explained the
method she had used in making her escape.
About the time he made the discovery that
she had disappeared he received message
from the hotel clerk telling Of how she had
faced probable death in getting away.
Men employed in Chases Theater had
watched the woman she descended from
the window, and then notified the hotel
clerk of the incident. Emma was seen to
swing from the end of the sheet until she
could push herself from the wall and drop
to the top of eighteen-inch fire wall.
Despite the narrowness of the wall She
managed to retain her footing, and from
there dropped to roof about ten feet be-
low. She was soon upon fre-escape ana,
before the detectives knew Of her disap-
pearance, was out of sight. Had the sheet
given away she would have been precipi-
tated a distance of more than sixty Feet
and fallen upon a stone pavement.
When the detectives learned of the escape
of the prisoner they hurried to her room. at
Gil Virginia avenue. hoping she would go
there, but she failed to appear. They
searched her room. however. and found the
missing timepiece.

TO CUT DOWN THE PRINTING.
Reports in the War Department Must
Be Reduced.

Secretary Taft has issued an order de-
signed TO reduce TO minimum the volume
or the annual reports of military COM
manders and chiefs of staff bureaus for the
current fiscal year. He believes that al
together too much literature is published
each year from the War Department. and
that the time has come for discouraging
prolixity in such documents 1t has been
decided there shall be careful revision of
reports by every author IN order TO confine
the official statements and comments to
the least possible space. An example of
the instructions which are going out to
subordinate officers IS contained in a circu-
lar sent to army engineers by General
Mackenzie. chief OF engineers He says:
ION account OF recent orders from the

form part of the technical appendix should
no longer be given at length as appendices
TO the report of the officer In charge of

clear understanding of the years work
should be embodied in the report of the
officer. This direction is not intended TO
prevent the district officer from quoting
fully from reports made to him by his as
siStants, to whom credit may be given by
name in connection with such quotations.
