representatives Of Uncle Sans schools

Annapolis where the contest shall be
played. The University Of Pennsylva-
MIA stands ready to once more act as

as heretofore with the one exception that
the temporary west .tand, which last
season accommodated more titan 1900
spectators, will not again be erected,
but TO make good the loss Of these
seats 1t is proposed to arrange benches
on the space inside the three perma-
nent stands and on the turf at the
western end of the field. 1t Is be-
lieved that more than 1000 persons
could be seated In this way and that
in consequence there would be no loss
in the actual seating capacity Of the
grounds. while the expense and disiis-
urement of the grounds through build

avoided.

The matter was gone over carefully
and perfect understanding reached.
The Pennsylvania people are firm for
the usual number OF seats-one-third

OF the two government schools conccde
is only fair.
The matter was finally left for set
tlement in the hands OF the authorities
at Annapolis and West Point. and IT
may be some weeks before the deci-
sion IL known. The government Off
Gals recognize that Philadelphia is
the best place for the game, but there
Is a strong desire for a greater nuns

at the trial OF Charles w. Morse and
A. III. Curtis, charged with violations Of

terday Of transactions in ice" in which
he was interested with Morse In 1905,
he said he asked Morse to carry 1000
shares Of ice stock for him at 43l2. The
finaneier agreed and he made note for
S45 800 to cover the transaction, while
the stock was deposited as collateral.
When the transaction was closed out
later it showed a profit of $4,000, Mr..
Olser said, and as he owed the National
Bank of North America a considerable
sum, the 100000 was credited against
this Indebtedness. Mr.. Morse, Mr.. Oler
said, then wanted to buy 1000 shares
of ice at II, offering to carry loan in
the National Bank of Mort America for
him. covering the purchase price.
Il told him was just getting out of
debt. and objected to taking any further
chances; but Mr.. Morse insisted, and

WRIT IN CASE DISMISSED

Pittsburg, Oct. 2l.--The writ OF habeas
corpus and testifcandum recently issued
by United States Judge Archibald OF
Scranton, Pa, against Superintendent
Lamb of the New York state hospital
for the criminal insane at Matteawan,
which ordered the presence in this city
of Harry X. Thaw, slayer OF Stanford
White, to testify in bankruptcy proceed
ings, was dismissed yesterday afternoon
by United States Judge James S. Young
of this district. This means that Thaw
will not be brought TO this city, for
the present at least.
Judge Young held that there was no
necessity of bringing the prisoner away
from his proper place OF confinement into
this district; that If his evidence is nee
essary his deposition can be taken with
out bringing him here. The writ mus,
therefore be quashed, he said, and the
petition dismissed with costs.
Ex Governor w. A. Stone, attorney for
Thaw, said he had not determined what
he would do next.
When the proceedings were opened,
Col. Asa Bird Gardiner announced that
he had been indisposed Monday night
and he had not prepared all his notes,
He begged for short delay.
Attorney Meyer, in reply, declared
that Col. Gardiner had concealed some
papers-that all the papers had not been
presented. This was denied by Gardi-
ner, who added;
"As soon as you gentlemen stop this
sort of business the better"
Judge Young began his bearing Of the
arguments at noon.
