GAME TO KANSAS
MISSOURI TEAM DEFEATED IN BIG
THANKSGIVING scRIMMAGE
AT KANSAS CITY.
The SCORE WAS TEN TOFOUR
Thirteen Thousand Persons Paid $780,
900 to See the con.est-Three
Thousand Turned Away
Other Games.

Kansas City, Nov. 2S.-Before the
biggest crowd that ever saw an ath-
letic event in Kansas City, the Univer-
sity of Kansas football team defeated
the Missouri university eleven Thurs
day afternoon by the score Of 10 to
A at Association park.
Never in the history of the game in
demonstration by followers of the
game. 1t seemed that every person
of the crowd of 1900, which was
jammed into the athletic field, was a
partisan of one of the teams. 1t was
scarcely 1890 o'clock when the first
groups of rooters filed into the bleach
ers. Long before one o'clock every
seat had been sold and thousands were
crowding in block long lines to buy
standing room. Two thousand more
were admitted and the rest of the
crowd, probably numbering 5000 per-
sons, was refused entrance.
The total receipts for the game, the
managers estimated Thursday night,
will reach $4,000, more than twice the
amount ever before received from a
Thanksgiving game. Of this S2R per
cent is to be divided between the two
universities and the remainder goes to
the park management.
The highest receipts for this game
heretofore were in 1905, when the box
Office showed $1,000. Last year when
the game was played in st. Joseph, the
receipts were $500.
1t was Kansas greatest victory over
its most honored football rival. The
crimson and blue team, by Thursdays
defeat of Missouri, gained the Mis-
souri, valley championship and ended
the first season since 1899 with clear
record of victories in every game on
ITS schedule. 1t was clean victory
for Kansas asd a clean defeat for
Missouri.

MADE REACHES HIS FRIENDS.
Act of Artemus Ward That Had Far
Reaching Effect.

George V. Kelley, a veteran journal
ist of Cleveland, remembers Artemus
Ward we'll.
Ward called on me-" he said the
other day. "the night before one of
his panorama lectures. There were
some three or four large reaches sour
rying about my room, and they attract
ed his attention.
"T am very fond of reaches, he
said. Once, in my own home, found
roach struggling in bowl of water.
took half walnut shell and put him
in it,; it made good boat; l gave him
a couple of toothpicks for oars. Next
morning I saw that he had fastened
a hair to one of the toothpicks, and
had evidently been fishing. Then,
overcome with exhaustion, he had
fallen asleep. The sight moved me.
took him out, washed him, gave him
a spoonful of boiled egg, and let him
go. That roach never forgot my kind
ness, and now my home is full OF
roaches'"

FIRST IN CABINET
FRANK H. HITCHCOCK HAS Ac-
cEPTED POSTMASTER GENER-
ALSHIP UNDER MR.. TAFT.
ANNOUNCEMENT UNOFFICIAL
Names of All Cabinet Members Will
be Given Out at Same Time
Mr.. Hitchcock Well Fitted
for New Duties.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 28.-Frank
H. Hitchcock has been offered and has
accepted the position of postmaster
general in the Taft cabinet that is to
be.
The official announcement doubtless
will not be made until Mr.. Taft has
completed his cabinet. Because Of
this no expression regarding the Sc
lection of Mr.. Hitchcock was obtain
able for publication from either Mr..
Taft or the Republican national chair
man. There were reasons, it was point
ed out, why it was eXpedient that Mr..
Hitchcock's status should be fixed AS
chairman of the Republican national
committee, he became more familiar
than any other person with the po-
litical phase of questions likely to
arise at the beginning of the Taft
administration and the knowledge
gained regarding the personnel of the
party will be of great service to Mr..
Taft.
Besides these reasons the national
chairman admittedly possesses a com
prehensive as well as a technical
knowledge of postal affairs, gained by
a protracted experience as first as
sistant and acting postmaster general.
Mr.. Hitchcock, accompanied by
Charles H. Boynton of New York, left
here Friday night for Washington,
where Saturday night he will be the
guest of honor at dinner given by
the executive and advisory commit
tees of the national committee. He
then will visit headquarters in New
York.
Timothy L. Woodruff of New York,
state chairman, and Representative
Herbert Parsons, president of the New.
York county committee, expect to
have a conference with President-elect
Taft Saturday.
Mr.. Woodruff said he expected to
discuss the senatorial situation in his
state. AS to his own aspirations Mr.
Woodruff said he had as yet made no
public announcements nor had he any
thing to say on the subject at this
time.
Senator Fulton of Oregon had an
opportunity Friday afternoon to dis
cuss Oregon affairs with Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Taft was Friday night the guest
of honor at dinner given by Senator
Bourne of Oregon who entertained be-
sides Mr.. Taft a number Of newspa-
per representatives and personal
friends.

Valettta, Island of Malta, Nov. 81

a few minutes was a roaring furnace
surrounded by clouds of smoke
through which flames burst upward
to a height of 200 feet, from ex'
plosions In the hold.
So rapidly did the fire spread that
the frantic efforts of the crew to oper-
ate the fire apparatus proved useless,
and 1t seemed but a moment before
the upper works were crushed by the
falling debris or quickly burned.
Safety only lay in jumping over
board and taking chances of being
picked up. Assistance was hurried to
the burning vessel from all the war
ships in the harbor and from the shore,
but the work of rescue was greatly i'm
peded by the strong tide that was run
ming. Even the naval launches which
came as fast as they could be driven,
were unable to go alongside. Among
he thnrn manic that
could not be controlled. Many of them
We're too terrified to jump and they
were burned to death. Others cast
ing themselves into the waves were
drowned.
The crew behaved with admirable
courage, serving out life preservers
to the last and working the pumps.
When these became useless, Capt.
Charles Littler, commander of the Sar-
DINA, took the helm and directed his
ship towards the shore as long as it
could be navigated. He persisted at
his post. First officer Frank Wat
son, all three engineers, Seagraves,
H1slop and Neeil, IS Of the ships COM
pany and two first class passengers,
one of them a boy named Grant, are
missing. Fifty or more bodies have
been recovered and 70 persons res
cued. 1t is impossible at present to
say just how many were drowned or
burned to death, because the list of
Arab pilgrims is incomplete, but the
number will doubtless far exceed 100.
The British vice admiral, Sir ASS
hoton Curzon Howe and Admiral Fish,
err, directed the rescuing boats. Capt.
Littler's body, terribly mutilated, was
landed Wednesday afternoon in the
presence of great crowds which stood
uncovered. The other bodies were
also mutilated and burned. Fifty-six
of the injured were being cared for in
hospitals.
