PENN's FOOTBALL DATES.
Manager Disston Submits His Schedule
to the Committee

Philadelphia, Jan. 12.-PennsyI-
vania's football committee reelected
George H McFadden as its chairman
for the coming year and considered
the proposed football schedule for next
season at a meeting held yesterday
afternoon in the University gymnas-
ium. The committee stated that there
have been negotiations with Chicago
University for game ON Franklin
Field next fall, but nothing definite
has resulted owing to Chicagos ina
bilfty to act until after the next meet
ing of the western conference, upon
which depends Chicago's acceptance
of the game.
The Michigan date has been practic-
ally settled upon as November 10,
which makes November 8 as the prob
able date for the Chicago game, ac-
cording to the Pennsylvania commit
tees attitude. 1t was further stated
that State college would probably be
played on Franklin Field on Novem-
Der in case Chicago does not accept
Pennsylvania proposition. No game
will be scheduled for November %,
so as to give the Red and Blue a rest
between the Michigan and Cornell
games. Bucknell will probably be
substitute for North Carolina and Villa
season, while the rest of the schedule
will be the same as last season.
The proposed schedule as submitted
by Manager Disston, which was re-
ceived favorably by the committee. is
as follows: September %, Lehigh;
October 2, Villa Nova; October 5,
Bucknell; October 8, Franklin and
Marshall; October u, Swarthmore;
October 16, Gettysburg; October 10,
Brown; October 26, Carlisle Indians;
November 2, Lafayette; November 9,
Chicago: November 16, Michigan; No
vember %, Cornell. ~=.f -
All these games are to be played on
Franklin Field, with the exception of
Michigan, which will be played at Ann

How the Cloud County Treas

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan 12-Among
the visitors at the state prison last
week was little man who asked to
be shown the different departments of
the institution. No one showed more
interest in the things seen, nor watched
each detail so closely as he. He seem
ed to 1inger behind the others and acted
as though even a closer inyestiga ton
would suit him better.
Finally when he came back into the
office he turned to Deputy Warden
Dobson and remarked, well, I'll be
back with you next week"
The deputy looked puzzled for mo-
ment and then answered, Were pretty
full on help at present, I don't believe
there's a guards place vacant now"
We'll, didn't mean just that said

smile. You see, I expect to go behind
the walls I pleaded guilty to embez-
element last week and thought that I'd
come and look the place over where 1
am going to do time. I've never been
here before and it's a new experience

treasurer of Cloud county, and he had
pleaded guilty. of using $4,000 of the

Yesterday morning Wade came to the
prison again, but this time as a prison

with tired, hopeless look on his face
he looked more like a father who had
come to see his son than man under

prised when they learned who he was.
According to the statements that came
with Wade he was one of the oldest
and most respected citizens in Cloud
county and was elected to his office for
two terms. -
His own story which came with his
commitment was told in an honest,
Straightforward way. He was the head
of a large family and was deeply in

sickness. Just after his first election
his creditors began to push him and he
started to use the county's money,

When the next election came around
he had to use more money to get his
office again. Then he invested in

them. In his story, Wade tells how he
watched them during the summer and
how confident he felt that they would
help him pay out in the fall, but like
many another investor in cattle, he
lost all. When it came time to sell,
prices went down and he lost even
what he had paid for them.

him day and night and how at last
when he could stand it no longer he
went away, and then how he found

TWO PLAYERS SIGN UP.
AItroclz and Sullivan Attach Their Sig
natures to Contracts.


Chicago. Ill, Jan. 1.-TWO more
members of the worlds baseball cham
pions have been signed by President
Comiskey-Nick Altrock and Billy
Sullivan. te f.-
Altrock came all the way, from his
home in Cincinnati to confer with the
master of the White Sox'' regarding
his salary for the season of 1907. At
ter meeting the "Old Roman" at the
latter's office it required only five min
utes to settle all the details, make out
the document with the proper figures
inserted and to secure the signature OF
the southpaw. AItrock will probably
stay in Chicago the rest of the winter
and be on hand to join the club when
it goes to Mexico on its training trip.
Sullivan, who has been in the city
ever since the close of the baseball
season, being engaged as a salesman
for Armour & Co., called at President
Comiskey's office this morning while
Altrock was there, and when the
pitcher was through the catcher went
into the private office and soon at
tached his signature to a 1907 con-
tract.
There wasn't the slightest hitch in
signing either of these players COM
mented Comiskey. ''Altrock was COM
ing to the city toTspend the winter any
way, and he simply postponed signing
until he got here. All the men have
received raise over last year as re-
ward for their brilliant work"
