FOOT BALL NOTES.

new danger in foot ball has arisen
During game near New Haven between
the Yale seniors and Mount Carmel the
ball burst when a runner and tackler col
lided. The explosion broke up the game.
Dartmouth supporters and all those who
saw the Hanover team play the Massachu-
setts Aggies are still talking about Capt.
GlaZe's wonderful work The doughty
quarter established n record of two sixty
yard runs, one touchdown and two goals
from placement in one game.
A big crowd of Indians (rooters) will
go from Carlisle to Philadelphia tomorrow
with high hopes of acting as an escort in
taking PENIS scalp back with them.
Andover has made better showing than
Exeter thus far. In seven games Andover
has scored 20 points to her opponents IL.
while Exeter in six games has made but
81 and had 8 points scored against her.
Each has been defeated once.
West Point has always been the first
real test that the Harvard team has been
put to in the past, and it looks as If the
game with the Army tomorrow is not
going to prove an exception. The Cadets
have been handicapped this season by short
hours of practice, and have had to go
through their signal drill at dusk, but
they are still the same hard eleven to
down.
There are two players with red hair on
the West Point team; one Erwin. a vet
eran, who plays guard. and the other
Pullen, a youth of a trifling 1914 pounds.
Pullen was appointed from Alaska, COM
ing from nearer the arctic zone than any
other foot ball player with the exception of
Carlisle's Esquimo center.

EQUAL TO ANY EMERGENCY.
Firefghter Receives Flattering Report
From Chief Belt.

That the fireboat Fireighter is equal to
any emergency which might arise along
the river front Of the District and Alexan-
dria was successfully demonstrated yes
terday afternoon. This boat under the
personal direction of Fire Chief Belt left
its wharf at the foot of It'll street, and
twenty-four minutes later had three lines
OF hose, reachingea distance of I, 1856 feet,
playing a stream of water on the streets
in Alexandria.
This test was to determine If the appa-
ratus on the fireboat is capable of meet
ing the demands upon it in case of a large
fire along the wharves, or anywhere on the
river front between here and Alexandria
After the test Chief Belt stated that he
was satisfied and could assure the owners
of wharf property that the boat can afford
them the necessary fire protection.
In speaking of yesterdays test Commits
sioner Macfarland said:
THE experimental run of the freboat
yesterday, like all the tests made of the
Fire Fighter in previous trial trips, showed
that it is thoroughly effective for the
services expected of It. The particular
object of yesterdays experiment was to
show that it would be efficient in dealing
with fires not only on the river edge, but
for some distance back. The success Of yes
terday's trip ought to encourage manufac-
turers and others to build on the lower por-
ton of the District river territory and so
neip greater washington. AS under the
original grant to Maryland the Potomac
river was under the Maryland jurisdiction
up to the shore of the Virginia side. it is
now entirely within the Districts jurisdic-
ton up to the same point. SO that we would
be expected to look after a fire among the
shipping in front of Alexandra and then,
matter of neighborliness, we would in
any event send help to Alexand if it had
a serious fire to deal with. The Fire Fighter
showed yesterday that it can do good
service in this direction. 1t is very crafty
ing to see that our plans for the boat
worked out so well, and both Washington
and Alexandria can be congratulated upon
the additional protection the Fire Fighter
will give"

HAD A JIMMY"
Man Arrested on Suspicion Held for
Housebrea king

Jimmy such as is usually used by
burglars, protruding from the pocket of a
man passing the corner of Az street and
Pennsylvania avenue Wednesday night
aroused the suspicious of Policeman Nc
keever of the sixth precinct. At the sta
ton the prisoner said his name was Guy
Berkerly. He was charged in the Police
Court today with HOUSEKEEPING and
pleaded guilty, and was held for the action
of the grand jury. In default of 81 900 bond
he was ordered committed to jail.
After Berkerly had been taken to the sta
ton house he was questioned regarding the
Jimmy and some bicycle sundries which
were found in his pockets He finally ad-
mitted, it is stated, that he broke into the
store of Clarence S. Kessler, 6O51a E street.
An investigation showed that some one had
broken the shutters on the back window,
smashed the window, and in that manner
gained entrance to the store The intruder
knocked the safe over and tried to get the
bottom out, but failed. Some of the stock
was found missing, and that in Berkerly' 8
possession, when he arrested, was iden-
titled as the missing property.

Wild Game Scarce.

On account OF the continued warm
weather wild game is still scarce dealers
being unable to get ducks enough to sup
ply the demand. There are plenty reed
birds and blackbirds still to be had. but
ortolan are scarce. A number of ortolan
have been killed on the marshes of the
Eastern branch during the past few days.
but the gunners did not do the shooting TO
furnish the birds to dealers, and they there
fore did not reach the market. Reedbirds
and ortolan are selling at the rate of 81
a dozen, and blackbirds to be had for
so cents. Squads are plentiful at from 20
to 30 cents each, and they serve to take
the place of the game that is scarce.

account of themselves and their BUSH

Shortly after 8 o'clock this morning.
telephone message was received here
from Mrs. w. S. Reed. who lives about
six miles up the kennebec from Saga
dahoc Ferry. stating that colored
man had called at her home last even
ing about 5 o'clock, walked into the
shed and asked for food in mumbling
tone. He answered the description of
Francis and after she gave him food
he departed.
Shortly afterward another message
was received from Dresden saying that
the negro had been caught. A few
minutes later Bath was informed by
Warden Norton that the negro cap
tured was not Francis. but a man who
ran away from the schooner at Rock
land and that he had been identified.
A little later Adjutant General Farm
nam ordered that the Guards be re-
called to the Armory and they We're

were Mrs. Ida Taylor, of 625 Market

ANOTHER LOCATION.
Francis Was "Seen' at 6 A. M. Thurs
day Over in Searsmont.

Searsport. Me, Nov. 15.-People
here believe that Minot ST. Clair Fran
els, the escaped convict, passed through
the village this morning and is now
hiding near Stockton harbor, or max
ing his way up the Frankfort valley
along the line of the Northern Maine
Seaport Railroad
Shortly before o'clock this morning
Elmer Webster. a Waterman, saw a
large negro walking on the sidewalk
in the upper part of the village, going
toward Stockton. The man wore a
cap pulled down over his ears, REFER
and faded overalls. Webster hadn't
read the papers and did not tell his
story until tonight. Officers have been
securing the country in this vicinity
and watching the shipping here. Fran
els is familiar with this region, having
worked here several months on rail-
road construction last year.

EXCITEMENT RAN HIGH
Over Reported Approach of Francis to
Gardiner and Randolph.

Gardiner, Me, Nov. l5.-(SpeciaD.-
Although nobody knew whether or
not Francis, the escaped convict, was
near Gardiner or miles away Yesterday.
everybody in the city was perfectly
willing to become excited over the sub
ject and after nightfall it was ex-
trelnely dangerous to prowl around in
any back yard, for in many houses
there were combinations of vivid i'm
ag,hations and loaded guns.
Stories of the most sensational ma
ture were circulated all day, and every
runor brought the fugitive nearer Gar
diner. BY evening there was nobody
who wanted to talk about anything but
the possibilities Of Francis being in
the immediate vicinity and what would
happen to the person who should meet
the convict. There was a sudden de-
mand for souvenir postcards of the
State prison. The demand, however
could not be supplied by local dealers.
Capt. Colby Of the steamer Fuller
gave the sensation good start in the
morning by reporting to the police that
he saw an empty boat adrift few
miles above Bath on the trip upriver
and suggesting that Francis might
have used the boat to cross the river
Police officers secured the country to
the east out as far as Togus but nobody
in that vicinity had seen any trace of
the negro. and the hunt was given up.
Randolph furnished the comic sup
plement shortly after supper time, when
a man and with a gun and jag de-
clarcd he was ON the trail for Francis
and intended to get the convict. dead
or alive. While the man was loaded
the gun was not SO nothing serious
resulted.

IN SEVERAL PLACES.
"Seen" in Lisbon Center, South Lewis
ton and Now the City.

Lewiston, Me, Nov. 15.-Frank
O'Connell. 16 years old. reported to the
police tonight that during the evening
he saw a large, burly looking negro
answering perfectly the description of
Minot st. Clair Francis the escaped
convict, by the roadside near Bleachery
hill and less than half mile from the
city. cutting a stick by the roadside.
When discovered the negro FASTENED
away. O'COnnell says he was within
few feet of the man who he says acted
nervous and Wore ill-fitting Clothes
Several police were sent to search for
the negro supposed to be Francis. but
no clue to his whereabouts was found.
1t is thought that he took a cross road
leading to the Maine Central Railroad
thereby clinging to the outskirts of the
city.
Mrs. A. c. Weber, postmistress at
Lisbon Center says that a negro answer
ing Francis's description called at the Of
flee late this afternoon and asked for
daily paper. She told him she had no
papers and he, after inquiring the way
to Brunswick. hurriedly left the place.
Mrs. Weber was badly frightened and
did not notice the direction taken by the
negro. She says he had a scar on his
neck and looked like a tough customer.
Later in the day a man answering his
description was seen at South Lewiston.
The police are securing the town but they
believe if he is in Lewiston he will at
tempt to take an early morning train
over the Grand Trunk Railroad to Can
