touchdown on Oswald's men and this
on an end run. - e.
CapSain, manager coach and squad
at East high took. to the dark woods
for secret practice yesterday and Coach
Frykman taught the boys some football
that the outside world never heard of.
This method is great for high school
players as they are made to- believe
that their work is as important as uni
versityl secret practice.
East. high has lost few men by the
barring route and according to two of
the Students ideas more will be asked
to quit before the end Of the week.
Comford and Woods are already barred
and Dillman will probably get his no
tice today or tomorrow.
The game between East and South
high schools Friday will be played at
North High Athletic field instead of at
Minnehaha park as was advertised.
This was decided upon yesterday morn
ing. On Saturday Managers Brand Of
East and Elliott of South had asked
Manager Hobbs of North high for the
field but at that time the North side
team had practice game scheduled,
this was called off Monday and Mr..
Hobbs Immediately offered the use Of
the park. The. game will begin at 8
O. clock and thirty minute HAYES will
be played. .-..2

STAGE AFTER SPEED.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-The second day Of
practice at the maroon camp found
Coach ,Stagg as determined as ever to
send the men the limit Of their speed,
to judge by the stunts thru which he
put the candidates for the varsity
team. With the first squad lined up,
with Parry and Meford at the ends,
Noll and Kelley at tackle, Parkinson
and Badenoch at guard, Harris at cen
ter, and Iddings, Steffen and Fenger in
the backfeld, and with the rest Of the
bunch in two other teams, the simpler
plays permissible under the new rules
were practiced at pace which reduced
the most Of the men to the verge of
exhaustion.
Backfeld kicking was one Of the fea-
lures which received particular. atten-
ton. Every man in the back field was
given a chance at fake punts on di-
rect throws from the center, and COM
binations with straight plays were used.
In receiving the kicks the free catch
was employed and the spectators who
were admitted got considerable amuse-
ment from the awkward efforts of the
men who attempted to signal for a
catcher and handle the ball at the same
time.

b Los Angeles, CAL, Oct. 3.-Tommy
Burns, champion heavyweight Of the
world, knocked out Jim Flynn Of Pueblo
after a fight in which there was not
moment IS rest for either man. At times
Flynn fairly outfought Burns and his
blows seemed to carry more steam than
those of the champion. Burns, how
ever, displayed a great deal Of clever
ness and before three rounds had ended
Flynn IS nose was bleeding freely.
In the 'clinches Burns used his head
much as Battling Nelson did, and while
resting it on Flynn's shoulder sent in
blows to the body which BODIED i'll for
Flynn. At times when Flynn would
rush Burns would sidestep him and.
rponent making wild swings in the air.
: In the tenth round Flynn appeared
groggy and Burns stepped in with
rights and lefts: The Coloradoan, how
ever, was apparently as strong as ever.
and during the last part Of the round
turned the tables on the champion and
almost fought him off his feet. Not
until the last three rounds did Flynn
do any effective infghting; then it was
too late to even the score. In the
final round Flynn was knocked down
three times and twice stayed for the
count of nine. It was apparent that
he was all in, but he finished as plucky

MICHIGAN DISLIKES RULES.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 3.-For fifty
five minutes the Michigan regulars
scrimmaged without intermission with
the scrubs yesterday and only once
were they able to cross the second
team s goal line. In addition to one
touchdown they scored goal from the
field kicked from placement at the 25
yard line by Johnny Garrels.
The play was fast and furious from
start to finish. The strongest scrubs
that could be found were put in the
game and they played like fends. They
repeatedly broke thru the regular line
stopping plays before they got started
and on several occasions Holland, one
Of the scrub backs, dashed thru the
varsity for ten and fifteen yard
gains. Wright, a scrub line man,
smashed thru odo a lot Of brilliant
tackling. On the regulars Sickle at
halfback, light but speedy man who
is good at picking his way thru a
broken field, made some good gains.
Most of the time the ball see-sawed
back and forth in the middle of the
field passing from one to the other
team. Occasionally one side made the
necessary ten yards, but neither was
able to do it consistently. Under the
new rules Michigan rooters despair of
anything like the old 100 to 0 scores.

London, May 19.-Escorted by the
members of parliament, nearly 400
women suffragists representing or
ganizations from all parts of the coun-
try, interviewed Premier Campbell
Bannermon at the foreign Office today
and presented their claims that women
be allowed to vote. Only eight mem
oers OF the numerous deputation were
allowed to speak and n >ccordance
with previous agreement each speak
er was limited to five minutes, But in
tne aggregate of forty minutes the pre-
mler heard about all there was to hear
IN favor of female suffrage.
Inc immediate grant of Women's
rights was the unanimous demand of
the speakers, some of whom presented
20 the premier their minimum de-
mands, claiming that immediate legis-
!ation bestowing on women the right
10 vote was necessary and declaring
that a promise to take up the matter
at the next session of parliament
would not satisfy them. One speaker
menactngly declared that the women
were prepared to sacrifice their lives
IN behalf of their demands.
The premier smiled upon this
strangely assorted gathering of wo-
men, including, as it did, ladies of title
side by side with factory employees.
and said he sympathized with the OBJ
1ect of the deputation. but asked his
visitors to be patient until the gov

Personally, he believed that women
were as we'll qualified as men, and
perhaps better, to exercise the right
to vote, and in his opinion the depu-

irrefutable case. The premier wound
up his remarks by saying that he be-
lieved 1t would not be many years be-
fore the desired change was brought
about. This reference to years" met
with Kissing from members of the
deputation, who left the foreign office
greatly dissatisfied.

strange child seemed to be dominated
by some fiendish mentality. In her
normal state she was clever, though
not precocious,i bright and winsome.
The circumstances surrounding the
shooting which has again brought her
into the limelight are as mysterious
as the other facts which have marked
her young life. The shooting took
place some three weeks ago. the VIC
tim being Jesse Barden, young farm
er boy who had paid to court to Miss
Ethel. He turned up at his home with
bullet embedded in his lung. For
week or more his life, was despaired

crime, while she as stoutly denied it.
She was arrested, and on the long
night ride to the county prison, the un-

spirits. There is general feeling that
the girl will be dismissed and left free
to further mystify the community with

A VERY BAD
MESS
Host, Insurance Commissioner
Charges Houser With Being
a Bribe Agent.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Milwaukee, Wis, May 19.-Charges
of campaign contributions offered in
return for favorable decision in the
case of the division of the Equitable
Life Assurance society's surplus have
split the La Toilette camp in twain.
The legislative committee, which is
investigating the operations of insur-
ance companies in Wisconsin, today
heard Insurance Commissioner Zeno
M. Host accuse another La Toilette
administration man, Walter Houser,
secretary of state, of Offering $4,000
If he (Host) would make decison
favorable to the company.
To make the occurrence still more
sensational, Secretary Houser, follow
ing this disclosure, was permitted to
make personal statement for the
committees record, in which he said
that he had offered Host a slip of
paper on the date mentioned, but did
not know what it was and had not
made any offer of money.
He said, however, that Zeno M. Host,
in the same campaign, had willingly
insurance companies for campaign
contributions to be used in defeating
Congressman Joseph w. Babcock,
member of the anti-La Toilette wing
of the republican party, but that after
Host had decided that it would be bad
politics and vetoed the proposition.
Secretary Houser intimated in plain
terms that Hosts charge was part of
political conspiracy, in which he
(the secretary was to be defeated for
denomination.
He called attention to the fact that
Senator ]. A. Frear. chairman of the
insurance investigation committee,
was rival candidate for the office,
and showed how the charge placed
against him by his political opponent
would be material factor in aiding
the rival candidate to win. in the fall
primaries.
Senator Frear replied to this state
ment by saying that the fellow men,
bers Of the committee knew where he
stood in this matter, and denied hav-
ing any motive beyond that of getting
at the facts in insurance matters.
