GIRL BOUND TO SECRECY.
New Yorker Finds That Servant L
His Stepdaughter:

NEW YORK. December 26.-John Sisson
was almost beside himself with rage
Tuesday in Recorder Lazarus court, in
Bayonne, N. j., when he learned for the
first time that fourteen-year-ol Florence
Bennett. who had served as a servant in
his home, at 116 East 10th street. in that
city, was really his stepdaughter.

for years about this. This girl cannot

He pointed to his stepdaughter, slen-
der, pale-faced girl, and deaf-mute. who,
the matron at police headquarters, had
escaped from her room in Sisson's house
and slid down a piazza pillar last Monday
night to get away from her stepfather' S
cruelty. She was found by a policeman.
BY means of the sign language, with
which the recorder is familiar, the girl
told him that her father, John Bennett,
died five years ago, and then she was
sent to an institution. Her mother mar
ried Sisson two and half years ago. and

ALABAMA REPUBLICANS.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, December %
The republicans of Alabama seem to be
very much split over what man should re-
ceive the vote of this state in the national
convention. AS long as Roosevelt was
supposed to be in the race they were for
Roosevelt, but the minute he announced
he did not intend to run there was dis
order.
At this time it is doubtful which one of
the candidates will get the vote of Ala
bama. Charles H. Scott. national repub-
lican committeeman. is out and out for
Taft; J. o. Thompson, chairman of the
state executive committee, Is on the fence
that Is. he is not for Taft. These two
men have been recognized as the repub-
lican leaders in Alabama. and have had
charge Of distributing the offices.
Now that there is split there is no
telling what may happen. 1t is known
that Roosevelt favors Taft and many be-
lieve that Scott did right in coming over
when he. got notice from the President
that he wanted Taft delegation from
Alabama.
The negroes of the state are for For
aker and do not hesitate to say So
There are several negro papers in this
state and they are all for the Ohio sena-
tor. This may cause some trouble in the
ranks Of the republicans.

NELSON MIKES
UP WITH ABE ATTELL

SAN FRANCISCO, December 26.--The
widespread interest that is being taken in
the New Year day fight between Abe At
tell and Owen Moran was attested by the
record crowds that visited the training
quarters of the boxer. yesterday. Attell
is held fayorite in the betting at 10 to 8.
At. Milletts. where Attell is getting in
shape, the number Of people on hand
made it Impossible for the fighter to do
his boxing in the gymnasium, and the
open-air platform was used. AtteIl boxed
three fast rounds with his brother Monte.
then went two rounds with boxer named
Kid Lewis, and followed this up with
three rounds with Battling Nelson.
Attell kept jabbing Nelson's head back
in the first round.s and in the second the
HageWisch champion started to make
things lively. He showed great form. The
second and third rounds were fought at
as fast clip as was ever seen in an
actual fight. When time was up Attelrs
bad eye was bleeding and the Batter
was wiping blood from his mouth and
nose: This unexpected set-to. threw the
citement. Attell weighed 12l pounds, and
is not worried over the weight question
AT San Rafael there were more people
than Shannon's gymnasium could accom-
modate. Moran did no road work and
allowed his weight to drift back to 12j
pounds. Finding that he could make
weight easily, Moran cut out the hard
work. He figures that he will get down
to about 123 two days before the fight.
and says that 1t will be easy to get to 100
pounds at weighing-in time.
A large number of English residents
went out to see the British champion
work. Moran boxed six rounds without
the usual minute intervals. He took on
Willie O'Neill, the clever featherweight
first for two rounds, then boxed two more
with Jack Hanley, a middleweight. and
wound up with two rounds with ALT
Wicks, his trainer.

INJURED FOOT BALL
PLAYERS SHOULD RETIRE

The past foot ball season. as lis the cas-.
each year, has been productive of more or
less comment on the actions of the coaches
of the various teams, particularly those of
the more important eleyens. This year
the criticism has conferred to large ex-
tent upon the retention of men in the
lineup after they have received some
injury which, while not itself serious has
prevented them from playing in as clear
headed way as they usually do. Sew
eral cases Of this kind were to be noted in
the larger games of the. fall, notably in
the Yale-Princeton game, when Bomar,
one OF the Yale halfbacks, was kept in
play after he was so dazed that what he
did was more by instinct than by any
reasoning of his own. An incident of the
same kind was to be found in the Yale
Harvard game, when Capt. Parker of the
Crimson team was not taken out and re-
placed by a fresh player until after his
dazed playing had lost the team much
valuable ground.
a Yale graduate has come forward with
a criticism on this feature of the falls
play, which sums up the situation per-
tinently as follows: $500.
Why in the name of common sense do
coaches insist upon keeping a player in
the game after an injury has incapaci-
tated him? Is it because the coaches
long-pondered and finally immutably fixed
estimate Of a players ability blinds them
to what is painfully evident from the
stands? Except in the case of a few
phenomenal stars it is safe to say that
no player is better than his understudy by
more than small margin. and this mar
gin is more than neutralized by an in
jury. Greater freedom in substituting
fresh men would serve many desirable
ends 1t would lessen the possibility of
permanent injury, diminish the amount of
martyrdom at present too frequently ex-
acted of players save the tortured geelings
of many a friend and relative; reward
many more of the deserving substitutes
and open up the game to more than the
charmed circle of the twelve or thirteen
elect

HARRINGTON AS BEAucAIRE.
Noted Author in Fight With Detec-
tives at Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. December Co
Booth Harrington. the well-known Indi-
ana author played the role of Monsieur
Beaucaire yesterday, with the exception
that he had a couple OF police officers for
opponents and used his feet and fists In
stead of swords. But he put up one of the
gamest fights, the officers say, that they
ever participated in. and one of them Ia
limping around with badly barked shins
and another was in bed for several hours
as a consequence of kick in the stomach
from both of the authors feet as he lay
on the ground with another officer sitting
on his head.
Early in the morning a report was sent
in to the police station that a riot was in
progress at Washington street and Cap
itol avenue. When Detectives Manning
and Samuels reached the scene two men
ran away. leaving Harrington and .
friend, who was vainly trying to induce
the author to get into a hack In waiting
and go home. The detectives added their
voices to that of Tarkington's friend, but
he was obdurate. Not wishing to use their
mHes upon such noted head, the game
became a pushing and showing one to-
ward the hack in waiting, while Tar1Sing-
ton let blows from his fist and from his
feet fly in every direction. Some of them
fell with telling force upon the heads and
bodies of the officers.
Then there was a clnch. and the three
roned upon the ground. Manning sat
down on Tarkington's head. and was
holding 1t in the mud and slime OF the
pavement. when Samuels approached to
take hold of the AUTHORS feet to place
him in the carriage That was Tarking-
tons chance, and he lost no time I'm inn
proving it. AS Samuels approached he
raised both feet and let go at the offlcer
with all his force. Both feet struck Sam
uels squarely in the stomach and sent
him reeling ten feet away. 1t was two or
three minutes before he got his wind
back but when he did the game was to
be played Without further trifing. The
officer grabbed Harrington by the hair
and the seat of his trousers.
"Home"" asked the driver.
Home? No. said one of the officers.
Drive to the stationhouse."
Five minutes later HARRINGTON was in
the statiorhouse, but he refused to an
swer any questions from the turnkey
while the charge against him was being
placed on the slate. After consultation 1t
was determined to charge him with re-
sisting an officer. Under a promise that
he would go home he was released on his
own recognizance. He did not appear In
court yesterday. but a friend asked the
court to continue the trial till Saturday,
and this was DONE
