Columbia Loses to Crescent Team
after Veil Played Game.

That Columbia University possesses a game set
of association football players was again demon
strated at Bay Ridge yesterday afternoon. IN spite
of the fact that their efforts against the Crescent
Athletic Club eleven resulted in defeat by the score
of goals to 2. Compared with the showing made
by Princeton against the CrescentS, who have a
clean record thus far this season. the performances
of the Blue and White looms up very large and
encouraging, and hopes of victory in the inter-
collegiate championship series this may
reasonably be entertained. This view is further
borne out by the capital stand made against Staten
Island a week before.

report recited the fact that a total
of $7,39O,56O worth of property be-
longing to the Cumberland church or
under its control would revert to the
Presbyterian church, and the objecting
members held that there was no au-
thority in the constitution of the Cum

a step. On the contrary, they held
that it was directly opposed to both
the spirit and the letter of the fund

ASKING QUAsH|NG OF EIGHT
INDICTMENTS FOR REBAT|NC
Demurrer Sustained in Two Instances
Because Of Technical Defects
Court Made Rulings on Various
Phases of the Elkins' Law and
Showed Its Application Here.

Asseciated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago, Jan. 3.-Judge Lands in
the United States district court today
fover-ruled the demurrer to eight in
dictments against the Standard Oil
company for accepting rebates from
railroad companies. AS to two others,
1.-THE demurrer was sustained on ac-
count of technical defects in the in
dictments.
These prosecutions" said the court,
"are for alleged violations of section
one of the act approved February 19,
1903, known as the Elkins law. The
charge is that the defendant obtained
transportation of it's property by vari-
GUS railway companies at rates less
than those named In the carriers pub
lished schedules. The offenses are al
legged to have been committed prior to
the enactment of the law approved
June 20, 1906, known as the rate law.
Indictments were returned Aug. 81,
1906"
The court ruled against the defen-
dant's contention that the Elkins law
was enacted really to prohibit the en-
ployment of indirect methods to OBJ
tain preferential rates, 1t being the de-
PENDANTS contention that it was not
a violation Of the law, If the railway
company dealing directly with the
shipper, gave that shipper cut rate.
The court also ruled against the de-
PENDANTS claim that the provision of
the Elkins law requiring shippers to
adhere to the published rate was void,
as being against that provision of the
interstate commerce law, which re-
quired carriers to transport property
for reasonable rate, the court hold
ing that the carriers and shippers
were both required to adhere to the
published rate until such rate was
publicly changed in a manner pro-
vided by law.

Foraker Resolution for INQUIRY
Into Discharge of Negro
Troops Introduced.

Associated Press to The Evenins Times.
Washington, June 3.-Senator For
aker's resolution for an inquiry by the
senate into the discharge of the
Negro troops of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry on account Of the Brownsville,
Texas, episode was laid before the
senate today and Senator Culberson
made an address cs. the subject. He
said he would have kept quiet but for
the fact that a great injustice had
been done to the people of Browns
vile.
Culberson said the conduct of the
Negro soldiers have been very irri-
tating to Brownsville people, and es-
pecially so to the women. He related
that on Aug. 4, the last day before
the shooting up" of the town, a
criminal assault had been committed
by one of the soldiers on the wife Of
reputable citizen, and said that nc
arrests had been made for this crime.
Culberson defended Captain McDon-
aid of the Texas rangers, to whom
Foraker had referred, because of
Major Blocksom's reference to him as
a man who was $50 brave that he
would not hesitate to charge hell with
bucket of water" Culberson also
said that he knew Major Blocksom to
be gentleman in defending Presi-
dent Roosevelt, for his dismissal of
the troops. Mr.. Culberson said the
fact that the troops were Negroes had
nothing to do with their discharge.
