END OF FOOT BALL SEASON
So-Called Minor Colleges No Longer
to Be Despised.
NEW GAME COMES TO STAY
Open Play Adds Greatly 70
Popularity Of COntest-Eastern
and Western Teams Come
pared.
NEW GAME COMES TO STAY

NEW YORK. Nov. z7.-with the annual
game between the army and the navy at
Philadelphia tomorrow the foot bali season
OF 1903 Is brought to a close, leaving the
ranking of towns and the selection of
various American" elevens TO occupy the
followers of the sport.
Perhaps the chief thing demonstrated by
TINS years contests was that the so-called
minor colleges are no longer to be de-
spised. The navy tied Harvard and Brown
held the crimson to a 9 to 2 score this fall.
Dartmouth defeated Princeton. while SYRIA
cuse and West Point held the men from
New Jersey to 0 to o ties. and Yale was
able to score one touchdown only against
both Syracuse and the army. These are
a few instances of the strength Of the
lesser elevens.
New Game Comes to stay.
Another fact brought out IL that new
foot ball has come to stay. As now played
the game is far more open and hence more
interesting to the spectator and less HARM
full to the players. Punting, field goal
Kicking and trick plays have reached a
greater development than ever before, while
the forward pass is generally admitted TO
be one of the p~rettiest plays in foot ball.
1t can hardly be said tina the revised game
mas reached as high a development in the
west as in the east. Michigan, which for
years had one Of the strongest gridiron
aggresations In the country under the for
mer rules. has recently suffered successive
DEFEATS by eastern colleges, this year being
decisively whipped by both Pennsylvania
and Syracuse. Chicago held Cornell to a
tie this season, but Cornell was easily de-
feated by Pennsylvania two weeks later.
Minnesota took the indians into camp by
q SCORE of IL to 6, but Carlisle had already
been beaten II to o by Harvard. Then the
Indians are VIGOROUSLY cratic and were
said not TO have played up to their stand
ard at Minneapolis. However, comparative
scores are unreliable and many western
followers of the sport maintain that the
teams In that section are still the equals
of those in the east.
l. Rank OF the Teams,
The ranking of the teams this year, as
always, is difficult and largely a matter
OF personal opinion. There can be little
dispute. however, that the choice of the
nations best eleven lies between Pennsyl-
vanta and Harvard, both of which went
through the season indicated. Probably
most critics will rank as the six leading
teams in the east exclusive of the Army
and Navy. Harvard. Pennsylvania, Yale,
Dartmouth, Brown and Princeton, in the
order named.
In the west there is no question Of CHI
Cages leadership. 1t has won every game
played except that against an eastern coll
lege. Cornell. Next would probably come
Wisconsin and then Minnesota.

MURDER MYSTERY
IN DOCTORS DEATH

Raleigh, \. c., November 16.4Polioe de-
today established the fact that
Dr. Ebert w Smith, representative of a
Richmond, Va, coal company, and son
of F. NJ. Smith of New Hope, Va, whose
body was found in the city rock quarry
in the outskirts of Raleigh yesterday was
the victim of one of the worst murders in
the history os the city. The body was
taken to Richmond today.
The coroner has taken UP the case OF
the supposed murder and the police are
at work searching for evidence. 1t was
found that Smith had been drinking and
that he visited a number of questionable
places on Saturday night. Buggy wheel
tracks neal the place where his body was
found indicate that he was taken to the
rock quarry and his body dropped over
the precipice. All efforts to fix upon any
parties who may have murdered him
have thus far failed. His watch, diamond
ring, Masonic pin and money We're not
found on bis. body. and robbery is held to
have been the cause of his death.

FRANCHISE TAX CASE.
Nentucky Is Trying to Tax Property
of, Southern Pacific.

Louisville, KY, November 16-Countv
Judge Arthur Peter today handed down
an opinion in the long-standing litiea
tion of the commonwealth against tb.
southern Pacific company. involving
taxes on sS'OOOc0o worth of property
Judge Peter decides in the cases for
taxes for 1907 and 1908 that the fran
chlse tax assessed by the state board of
valuation and assessment covers all the
Intangible property upon which the com
pahy must pay taxes in Kentucky and
that the county board of equalization can
not go back of that and assess intangible
property. In short the tax paid on the
franchise covers all the taxes collectihle
IN this state except as to tangible prop
erty. On the second question Judge
Peter holds that the steamships of the
defendant company which are set out by
name in the suit and which aggregate
$S'OOOOOO in value are taxable In kentucky
and taxes must be paid on them.
Judge Peter cites authorities to suppork
his opinion that where steamships are not
taxed at their actual sftus, they must be
taxed at the legal home of the corporation
owning them. He says the courts have
made the law clear that actual situs'
in this sense means the state in which
the ships are exclusively used. Thus the
ships on the Old Dominion line at one
time piled only Virginia waters, which
gave them an actual situs in Virginia,
but these ships, says Judge Peter, are
ocean-going and have no actual situs
anywhere. 1t results that they must be
taxable some where, and that in this case
the somewhere is the state where tho
corporation maintains its legal domicile,
or the state of Kentucky

DECISION REVERSED.
Holders of Railroad Passes Must Go to
Court Again.

Washington, November 1.-THE supreme
court of the United States today reversed
the decision Of me United States circuit
court for the Western district of Ken
lucky in the case az the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company against Eras-
mus l.. and Annie E. Motley. on the
ground that the court was without juris-
diction both parties being citizens Of Ken
lucky. The case involved the interesting
question whether the Hepburn railroad
act prohibiting the issuance of free passes
could be invoked to annnl contract. The
Mottleys will now have to resort to the
state courts to secure their passes or
abandon their case.
The Mottleys received injuries on the
Louisville and Nashville railroad in 1871
anc agreed to accept free transportation
on the road for the remainder Of their
lives as compensation for the damage
done them. When the Hepburn act went
into effect the road refused to issue fur
Their passes on the ground that ii was
prohibited by law, and the couple brought
suit to compel compliance with the con-
tract.
The court avoided dealing with this
question, and in reversing the decision OF
the court below directed it to dismiss the
case.

JAPAN TAKES INITIATIVE.
Relations With the United States Are
Still Very Friendly.

Washington, November 16.-Japan, it de-
veloped today, took the initiative and
made to the state department a PROPOSE
eion, now under consideration, with ref
erence to an incident which led to yester-
days official statements denying that
there was any friction between the two
countries.
From guarded statements made in re-
sponsible quarters today the question is
believed to be broader than at first
thought. One feature, it is understood,
contemplates restatement by the United
States and Japan regarding their attitude
toward China, not Manchuria alone.
Not that there is anything to add to
what has already been said, it is ex-
planned. but simply reafflrmat ton of
what has already been put in black and
white. to remove any misapprehension
in tho public mind. There is also the
japanese emigration and passport ques-
ton and the proposition made by Japan.
1t is thought, possibly may include re-
affirmation by her of her good intention
honestly to carry out her promises in
these matters.
1t was pointed out today that ever since
the Japanese school question was an issue
in California, when 1t was freely predict
ed, both in the United States and Europe
that war might come, the development
of the relations between the two coun-
tries has been along satisfactory lines
These relations embodied the ratification
of an arbitration treaty, trademark and
copyright convention, and the regulation
OF emigration from Japan, eliminating in
the sending of the American fleet to ia
pan on a friendly visit

Regent Ready for Reforms.

Pekin, November 1.-THE belief is gen.
eral here that Pu Lun eventually will
succeed Prince Ching, the president of the
board of foreign affairs, and that If his
adherents threaten sufficiently he will re-
ceive this appointment at an early date.
The regent, who is 26 years of age. is
open-minded and ready for reforms, but
is not considered a strong man. Dowager
Yehonala is colorless. For years China
has suffered from malady for which
it has long been believed assassination
was the only cure and the death of the
Dowager Empress, for this reason, has
given rise to various conjectures among
the foreigners. In the past ten years
hundreds have vowed death to her and
both natives and foreigners have offered
brides to those who make assassination
their business by fixing a price on the
Dowager's head.
1t is no small number, therefore, who
speak of her death as providential rid
dance. Few rulers have passed away SO
generally hated and blasphemed.
There are rumors among the revolu-
tionaries that some of their leaders are
about to return to Pekin. This is the
first boast that the late Dowager's enc
mics have made since her famous coup
etat.
Efforts are being made by the repre-
sentatives of the powers to determine the
position Of the foreign interests. On ac-
count of late inroads on the rights re-
covery movement into foreign invest
ments there is anxiety to know if this
is a true awakening.
Some reports have been received of
slight disturbances in the provinces,
which were said to be revolutionary but
no credence is placed In this because the
death of the Emperor and Dowager EN-
press can hardly be known outside of
the larger cities.

Finances In Confusion.

Pexin, Tuesday, October 13.--The appeal
by the grand council to the viceroys and
governors for advice on the subject of a
standard monetary unit and coin for the
empire has resulted in the adoption by
edict of the Kup-P Ing tael, value about 70
cents gold, as the standard money unit
and a coin of the value of half tael to
be the coin of general circulation. The
edict goes over the difficulties of chang
ing the money of China from a system of
weight to coin system, the former be-
ing relied on by officials and bankers to
enable them to squeeze from commerce q
large part of their revenues.
The edict says in part:
Chinese finances are now in confusion
1t is Of the utmost Importance to adopt a
monetary standard. IL actual gold be
made the standard, the accumulation of
the reserves will be difficult. II fictitious
gold be made a standard, it would be
dangerous and would cause anxiety. 1t
is necessary, first to adopt uniform sill
yer currency, and thereafter the next step
forward may be taken with care and after
mature elaboration, and it is to be hoped
that the gold standard may be estab-
lished firmly and without resulting evils
ut is now determined that the large
standard silver coin shall be OF the weight
OF Ifle hu-f Ing tdel, ana tIldI a large
number of half tael coins shall be minted
for general use. Also small coins of one
mace and five candare each shall be mint
ed as subsidiary coins.
After these coins have been ninted,
WITH the exception of the foreign obliga-
items fixed by treaty which shall be met
as before, all public officers, great and
small. and the imperial treasury in all
its receipts and disbursements shall con-
form to uniform practice"

Chances In Papal Ruling.

Rome. November 16.-Since the last
meeting of the congregation of the pro-
paganda to discuss American affairs,
September Z all matters pertaining to
the nomination of bishops have passed
from the congregation of the propaganda
to the office of the secretary OF state
and the depositorial congregation. This
is a result of the reorganization of the
congregations decreed by the Pope. The
matters thus transferred include the APP
pointment of a coadjutor bishop at
San Francisco, and of the RI Rev. Peter
Muldoon to be bishop of Rockford, Ill.
No appointments yet have been made
under the new ruling. Consequently the
report that Bishop Byrne of Nashville,
Tenn, has been transferred TO Cleveland
is untrue.

THINGS ARE UNSETTLED
1t Is Believed In Some Quarters That
the Dowager Empress Had Been
Dead for Several Days Be-
fore Announced.
THINGS ARE UNSETTLED

Toxic, November 16-The announcement
of the death at Pekin of both the En-
peror and the Dowager Empress caused
a heavy falling in the stock market in
Toxic, but official views are optimistic
1t is generally believed that the En-
peror died after the Dowager, and some
newspapers express this opinion, while
others assign sinister causes for the EN-
peror's death The Emperor of Japan,
who is attending the naval review at
Kobe, sent a message Of sympathy to
Pekin, as also did the members of the
cabinet All the flags in Toxic are at
half mast.
Officials decline tobe interviewed, though
the statements made by the Associated
Press on November IA that it is not
1apans intention in the event of disorder
or disorganization in Chinese territory
to take any step until after a consulta-
ten of ali the interested nations and an
agreement by the powers, may be re-
garded as expressing the attitude of the
government.
Among many well informed persons, 1t
is believed that the Dowager has been
dead for many days. The Emperor I'M
doubtedly was sick, but the life OF the
Dowager Empress was threatened by his
adherents during his lifetime as the EN-
porer's well-hnown liberal views had
caused the Dowager to deprive him OF
power, The death of the Dowager En-
press before that Of the Emperor would
have left him free to advocate revival
of the reform movement which was dras-
tically vetoed by her and therefore,
the Emperors death is regarded as OPP
perfume by the conservatives.
The leading Japanese officials undoubt-
eddy are closely observing the situation in
Pekin. There is every indication that
Japan is fully prepared for eventualities
in China in order to protect her interests
should a repetition of history occur, but
it is believed she expects the advice and
cooperation of America.
