To the jovial rivalry between President
Roosevelt and President-elect Taft over

the President while he was playing ten
mis- at the White House with Amba ssador
Jusserand. Secretary of the Interior Gar

walk or ride, in order that he might
get the report of the game at the earliest
moment
The final score is to in favor of
Harvard" shouted Secretary Loeb out of
the window of his Office. facing the ten
mis- court.
The President was engaged in a hotly
contested game. He was pitted with Mr..
Bacon against the French ambassador
and Secretary Garfield. But when he re-
ceived the message he forgot about his
own game, pushed back his slouch hat
and swung his racket over his head in
such wide circle that it looked as if he
would split the black sweater that he
was wearing. Mr.. Bacon let it be known
that he was from Harvard, too, by unit
ing with his distinguished partner in a
little Harvard celebration on their side
OF the net. while the ambassador and
Secretary Garfield waited patiently for
the enthusiasm to subside.
"Oh, Pshaw" Says Mr.. Taft.
HOT SPRINGS. Va, November 21.-
The President-elect had just returned
from riding with. his brother. Henry W.
Taft and Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Ed
wards. both of whom reached here to-
day.

-Four to nothing, and all for Harvard "
"Oh, pshaw.' and then with a laugh:
I'm have to. just send the President a
little congratulation by wire. but Yale
Won last year.
Mr.. Taft decided that he would wait
until tomorrow before telegraphing the

game.

ILLINOIS APEONAGE CASEO
 IS VERY SENSATIONAL

Chicago, December 16.-A peonage case involving, it is alleged, 15-foot stockade. practical inlpr lsonment of laborers under a system calculated to keep them in debt to the owners of the stockade, armed guards and escapes by tunneling, will be presented to the; federal grand jury here tomorrow. Ibis story, which, if it is sub stantiated, will take rank with any charged against the turpentine camps of the south, became public today when subpoenas were issued to compel the at tendance of 50 witnesses who are said to have lived within the stockade. Indict- ments for Ieonage under the federal law will be asked by District Attorney Sims. The stockade is alleged to be situated near Summit, town about 30 miles from Chicago. Here, 1t is said, a company is spending many millions in the erection of manufacturing plant. The laborers, it Is alleged, are furnished and maintained by St. Louis concern.
 Witnesses who have been interviewed by federal authorities are said to have told a remarkable story. Most of them say they were hired at $1 .65 a day and found themselves at the start in debt to the extent of s2 to the commission agent

PHARMACY SUIT.
Jacobs Awarded $7250 Damages By
 Jury in Georgia Court.

Atlanta, December -(Special.)- 1.-The second trial of g. suit of the Jacobs Phar- macy against the Atlanta and West Point railroad terminated Tuesday morning in Coweta county in verdict for $72o0 in favor of the pharmacy company, this being a greater amount than was award ed on the first trial.
 The suit was for s7s0o, and the first verdict was for S705S.
 The suit grew out of the destruction by fire of a carload of goods being shipped by the Jacobs pharmacy to Atlanta from Montgomery. Jacobs pharmacy formerly operated a business in Montgomery, but closed it out in June, 1906 They started a carload of goods to Atlanta over the Atlanta and West Point railroad and this car was burned at Madras, Ga, near Newman, Coweta county.
 The railroad company refused to pay the claim for damages and the pharmacy company entered suit. The case was brought to trial in December 1907, in Newman, and the pharmacy company was awarded S705S The road appealed for a new trial which was granted, and the sec ond trial was begun a few days ago, end ing with the verdict of Tuesday morn ing.
 The Jacobs Pharmacy was represented by Attorney c. T. Hopkins, assisted by w. c. Wright of Newman.

According to these witnesses they were charged 25 cents for a shave, 50 cents for a pair of socks worth cents and $1 for board worth much less than that. They paid, they state, 40 cents monthly to a hospital fund, when there was no hos pltal in the stockade, and were taken to free public hospitals when injured.
 The main point of the story as told is that they werc not permitted to leave the stockade while in debt to their employ CTS while getting out of debt was a diff ficult matter ewing to the high tariffs at which everything had to be purchased within the ste ckade. This was a high, tight plank fence, topped with barb wire and guarded by armed sentries. A num- Der of laborers are said to have escaped by tunneing under it. and a few by brav- ing the guards and sealing it.
 George .. Chamberlain, who has gen. eral supervision of the building of the plant near Summit, put the stockade in a different light when informed of the inn pending grand jury probe. He declared that malicious reports had been made be- fore and had been found untrue by in spectors from the state board of health and by stats food and factory inspectors
