New, Haven Crowded with Visitors for
 Big Football Game.
 New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 19.-The advance guard of an army of thousands of visitors has reached here. eager and enthusiastic over Thursdays football game between the Harvard and Yale elevens.
 The downtown streets are resplendant with the colors of the two big unlver- sities and there are many other out ward and visible signs that the great gridiron contest of the year is at hand.
 Both the teams are in quarters await ing the signal that will call them to victory or defeat. Reports are to the effect that all the players are in ex- cellent shape and spirit of confidence prevades both camps. Seldom in recent years have the Harvard men entertain ed a feeling of greater confidence in the result The general impression is that the teams are more evenly balanced this year than usual. Unless all signs are misleading it will be a game well worth witnessing.

There have been three tie games. In 1877 1885, 1888, 1895 and 1896 the teams did not meet.

WRITS ARE
 REFUSED Supreme Court Has No
 Jurisdiction IN GILMAN COUNTY CASE Petitions Must Come as an Ap-
 peal Prayer of Attorney General Garber that Judge R. I. Burke Declare Him. self Incompetent to Sit in
 ProhibitiOn Cases

Another chapter in the famous Gull man County Prohibition cases was closed Thursday morning when the Su- preme Court of the State handed down an opinion denying the prayer of At. torney General Garber that Judge Rob- ert l. Burke declare himself incom- potent to sit in the hearing of the in- dictments against Al Richter. ct al. The court assigned lack of authority as the reason for denying tho writs of mandamus sought for.
 There were two petitions before the court for their consideration. Both were for writs of mandamus. the first that the 200 odd indictments against Al Richter. ct al. be reinstated and the second that Judge Burke declare him self incompetent to sit in the trial. In the opinion of the court the petitions could not be presented to 1t for con- sideration, unless they came as an ap- peal from the Circuit Court of Gull man County. That until such proce- dure had been gone through with. the Supreme Court of the State had no Jurisdiction in the matter whatever.
 The history of these cases has be- of the Legislature granting local op- tion. Cullman County officials ordered an election. resulting In Cullman Coun- ty voting for prohibition.
 Judge Burke. as Probate Judge of the county. and also having author ity in the County Court. set the cleo ton aside and proceeded to issue H. censes to Al Richter. ct al, to conduct a liquor business within the bounds of the county.
 The Circuit Court was called togeth- CT in special session and indictments were found in February. 1908, against those having Judge Burke's licenses. and others violating the law. The indictments numbered over 200 which, upon their coming to trial. Judge Burke immediately nof pressed.
 Attorney General Garber thereupon in two petitions to the Supreme Court sougAt to have the indictments rein stated, and alsi that Judge Burke de- clare himself incompetent to sit in judgment upon the trial.
 The petition that Judge Burke de- clare himself incompetent sets out the alega ton that in the issuing of the licenses to Al Richter, ct all Judge Burke becames a party to the condi- tions which enter into the indictment, and that by reason of such he had made an agreement to mol prosse and discharge the said cases. That he is therefore incompetent to serev upon the bench in the haring of the cases.
 The petitions prayed that the Su- preme Court grant writ of mandamus that Judge urke declare this incom- petency.
