STATUS OF THE AUTO.
To Be Threshed Out Again in Massa-
chusetts Courts.

Boston, Dec. 5.-The town Of Aver. in
this state, has appealed to the full bench
of the supreme court for a decision which
involves the question whether automo-
biles have the same rights on the high
ways as horse-drawn vehicles. The ques-
ton came before the court on an appeal
from a decision against the town in a suit
brought by William C. Doherty, auto
mobile owner who was awarded a. verdict
In the lower court for injuries to his au-
tomobile. which sank ten inches into the
sand on one of the towns roads and be-
came stuck. Work was being done on the
road at the time and the accident happen
ed at night.
The town claims that it is not liable to
traveller In an automobile, as the high
way statute. which provides for liability
only makes it necessary that town keep
its roads in a safe condition for travellers
with horses, teams and carriages. The
town further contends that the legislature
did not intend that municipalities should
keep their roads up to the smooth condi-
ton required by automobiles. Doherty
claims that an automobile traveller comes
within the statute, and that the town is
liable at any rate because of the defective
condition of the highway.

Inspection Shows Tuberculosis
in Wichita Herds.
Twelve Per Cent of the Dairy
Cattle Are Unfit to Pail.
SOMEORDEREDKILLED
Five Are Slaughtered Out of
One Mans Pastures.
Cases Of Children's Fever
Traced to Infected Cattle.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 5.-The Beacon
says:
That there is much. tuberculosis in
the dairy herds of Wichita there can
now be no question of doubt.
Bert McGinnis, who runs one of the
cleanest diaries in Wichita, has had
his herd tested and out of As cows,
The tests were made by q government
inspector and the diseased cattle will
be slaughtered today.
The fact that IL per cent of the Nc
as to the general conditions. There are
in Wichita Loco dairy animals. 1t is
feared that the per cent of diseased
cows will be found to be even larger
in some of the other herds than in the
McGinnis herd, as this dairy looked af-
ter its cows with unusual care. 1t is
known that some of the dairymen in
the city use absolutely no care as to
the cleanliness or healthfulness Of their
herds and these are opposing inspee-
ton.
In the face of this shocking and dan
gerous condition in the diaries of Wich-
ita the attitude of those milkmen who
are opposing the inspection ordinance
takes on an added amount Of brutal
indecency.
wichita physicians have known for
a long time Of the existence of in
fected cattle in the Wichita dairy
herds. Innumerable cases of fever in
little children have been traced direct
ly to infected milk. Two cases of tu-
berculosis have also been traced to
infected cows. One of these cases is
especially pitiful, being that of young
child who contracted fatal case of
consumption from the milk of a dis
eased- COW out of one of the dairy
herds of Wichita.
The danger Of tuberculosis from the
milk of an infected animal is a hun
bred fold more imminent than from the
meat. The milk passes through no pro-
cess that kills the germ. The milk
is in most instances the food of
children and the germs attack them
when they are constitutionally most
susceptible. Meat from a diseased ami
NAL is less dangerous because in the
cooking the germs have often been
destroyed.

KENNEDY To PLAY
VIII Have Quarterback Position
ON Saturday.
Old Pennsylvania Star Will
Strengthen the All Stars.
SCANDRETT AT AN END
Former ALI Western End Will
BE i'm the Game.
QuigIey Has Been Secured to
Act as Referee. q

Bert Kennedy who is at the present
time the coach of Kansas university
will play quarterback Saturday on the
all star football team. Coach Weede
who has organized the football team
with which he is planning to defeat
his champion Washburn team, secur-
ed Kennedy's signature to contract
yesterday. This will make the team
complete. Kennedy is one of the old
heads at the game. He played four
years on the Kansas team and in
1899 was quarterback on the cham
pion Pennsylvania team. By several
critics he was given place on the
all-America team OF that year. He
spent a couple of years in Philadel-
phia where he coached and captained
a strong professional team. In 1903
he coached the never defeated Wash
burn team and since that time has
successfully coached the Kansas
team.
Kennedy's acquisition to the team
will form strong feature. He will
play quarterback and as such will d.
rect the team play, calling the signals
and doing other work of this charac-
ter. Kennedy Is also a kicker of no
mean ability and in drop, place and
quarter back kicks he will easily have
the edge on the champion WASN'T burn
players.
Another player who was signed up
yesterday and OF whom much Is ex-
pected Ia Henry Scandrett. Scandre
was all-WeStern end for two years,
and in 1899 capta1ned the champion
Minnesota team. He will hold down
the right end and with Weede as his
running mate, Haughey and Robb
will have occasion to learn what a
real end looks like.
Another feature which will lend I'M
usual interest in the game is the Sc
curing of Ernest Quigley of st.
Marys as referee Of the game. Quig-
ley, : though head of athletics in a
rival college has always maintained
g. deep and friendly interest In Wash
burn affairs and has offered his ser
vice free for this occasion. Quigley Is
undoubtedly the best referee in the
west and Topeka is always glad to see
him work. On account of his own
schedule conflicting this season he has
not been able to officiate in any of
the local games this season.
l. l. Kene has been engaged as
umpire The Washburn team may
however, protest Kiene as DIR. Otto
Kiene who Is to play right tackle for
the all star team Is a brother and this
may be considered sufficient ground
to object to him.

player and later went to Yale where

DoNLIN TO CAPTAIN GIANTS.
A Deal Is ON for q st. Louis-G Gotham
Exchange of Stars.


New York, Dec 5.-Secretary Fred
knowles or the New York Giants an
nounces that Mike Donlin will captain the
team next year. Aside from this state
ment Knowles would say little or nothing
OF the plans of the Giants.
1t is known, however, that some of the
other managers are eager to get their
hooks on a few of McGregor's players.
1t is said, for instance. that st. Louis
would like to have Bowerman and McGin-
nifty. McCloskey Is coming. to the meeting
and 1t is said that he will boss the Cardi-
nails for another year at least
The st. Louis players who may be re-
garded as New York ehgibles are: Hos
letter, infield; Noonan. catcher: Murray.
outfielder. and Fred Beebe, pitcher. The
only. thing that can keep McGraw from
getting some of these men is the fact that
McCloskey considers them invaluable to
the Cardinals. However, as Billy Gilbert
is to be stationed at second base. there Is
a chance to get Hostetter, and he is
player much liked by McGraw.
If Hostetter joins the Giants, Strang
may not be retained
Regarding Roger Bresnahan. Knowles
said the New York club had no intention
Of letting him become the manager of the
Cincinnati Reds. He is, in Knowles opin-
ion, too great a backstop for any team to
part with. He also thought that Roger
had no desire to leave the team, despite
some differences he had with McGraw
last season.

Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. Sin an in
terview with Jim Jeffries, in which he
was asked for a statement of his
views regarding the Burns-Moir bat
tie. the retired champion did not
seem to be at all enthusiastic over
the battle or it's outcome. He re-
marked rather impatiently:
ooh, that fellow Moir is just a dub.
T don't regard that fight as having
any significance. OF course, we all
knew Burns would win. Burns has
fought many better men, and this
battle has added nothing to his repu-
tation."
1t was suggested to Jeffries that
match with Burns could be arranged,
to which Jeffries replied: Nothing
doing. I'm out of the game for
keeps"
1t was intfmated that Jeffries was
still young and vigorous enough to de-
fend the title.

with dignity. His aIertness and agil-
ity on foot will enable him to watch
the plays very closely and his APP
pearance upon the gridiron should
lend color to the game.
The team has practiced now for
three nights. All the players have
shown a wonderful ability towards
rounding in condition, their former
training probably being responsible
for this. None of the men have as
yet shown any disposition to miss
practice and in this respect have
proven exceptions to the general trend
of football players. All the men have
gone into training and are very care
full Of their diet and moreover have
eliminated smoking from the category
of pleasures. DR.. Kennedy was I'M
able to be present at the practice last
night but will probably be with the
men tonight. His presence will add
the pepper to the team and the men
ought to put UP a very spicy game

Contrary to the general belief, the

guilty in court a few days ago. The
Quartette worked sixteen hours on the
job, using patent cork pullers. The

destroying the beer was done in the
