Says That He Is the Object of Con-

His Business.

The arrest of the New York banker.
Frank Zotti. has caused a sensation
in Gary, inasmuch as his firm has had
a number of questionable dealings in
this city which were exposed by THE
TIMES a few months ago. At that time
the firm saw the beginning of its
downfall which ultimately resulted in
the arrest of the Creation king and his
being held in the Tombs in New York
under $4,000 bonds.
Garyites Are Losers.
Among the multitude of losers in the
bank are included a number from
Gary who sent their money to the old
country and 1t has never been received
by those for whom it was intended.
Two days before the firm failed a let
ter was sent by Attorneys Harris and
Bretsch asking for the return of their
money, in representing four of the
victims. These are Tomo Paricie, loss,
sS1.40; Miloram Cenfid, los $40; Stiff
Pelurie loss, sS1.4O. and Stiff Rakoci,
loss, s1425O. These are but few of
the men who are heavy losers in this
city.

At the time that the ZOtti company
prosecuted Nikoli Pradonovich on

was cleared, he has been suspected of

CHICAGO GETS EVEN

CHICAGO. Nov. 14.-Chicago fought
an even battle with Cornell today, the
score being 6 to 6 at the end of the
greatest game played in the west this
season. That Chicago was fortunate
to tie its opponent was the opinion
even of the most enthusiastic admirers
of Stages athletes.
Outweighed and outplayed on straight

an exhibition of speed and involved
play in the second that bewildered the

rRx Associated Press.1

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 14.-Har-
wards offensive work overcame the
stubborn Dartmouth defense in the
second half of their annual football
game today and by a splendid demon
stration OF all forms of attack the
Crimson won, to 0.
Dartmouth fought fiercely and dur
ing the first half, the rival elevens
appeared evenly matched, but in the
second the superior weight of the
Crimson team enabled it to pierce the
Hanoverians line for substantial gains.
The story of Harvard's single touch
down is a story of onslaught that could
not be resisted.
Receiving the ball on their 22yard
line, the Crimson carried it right down
the field to the Dartmouth goal line.
The brunt of the work of the victori-
ous eleven fell on the men behind the
line, eight OF. whom played in the
game. Corbett distinguished himself at
left halfback, and when he had used
all his strength in telling plunges at
the Green line. Leslie took his place
and repeated the performance. White
and Long also were ground gamers,
while Kennard's punting and YER
weibs line play were notable.
For Dartmouth, Marks at fuliback
played splendid game. Repeatedly
he was hurled at the Crimson line and
generally for gains. Pollard, who re-
placed Hawley, was also a great
ground grainer.

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 14.-Prince-
ton closed an inglorious football season
with a defeat at the hands of Yale to-
day, IL to 6. Outplayed in the first
half, 8 to 0, Yale came back deter
mined for the second, and simply car
ried Princeton off its feet. Working
like a piece of machinery in the OPEN
ing half the Orange and Black re-
turned for the second session to show
only spasmodic flashes of the bril-
liancy displayed earlier.
With Yale it was a different story.
Entering contest for the first time
since the sweeping switch of the men
after the Brown game last Saturday,
there was some anxiety in the Yale
camp as to the outcome today, but as
the contest progressed the work Of Yale
improved.
Princeton fought bitterly to avoid
the impending disaster, but the flesh
was weak. When, near the end of the
second half, Captain Dillon, Princeton 5
great little leader, was carried from
the field fighting and crying like a
child, the heart seemed to be taken out
of his followers. One by one the weak
ened and battered Tigers were re-
placed by fresh men, until seven subs
had been brought into the game.
Probably not in the history of the
games between the two universities
have two men shone so brilliantly on
their respective teams as did Coy of
Yale and Tibbott of Princeton today.
Tibbott, by his brilliant runs around
ends and his wonderful work In open
field, made possible Princeton's only
touchdown, while Coy, with bulldog
tenacity and grit, tore great holes in
the Princeton line, and many times 1t
required the combined strength of at
least four Princeton men to stop this
player.
If Yale has anything new in the foot
ball book she religiously kept it hidden
for the Harvard game next Saturday.
She rarely tried the forward pass, and
as infrequently resorted to the on-side
play Yale relied almost wholly upon
runs through tackle and Mound the ends
and line plunges
1t was during one of these desperate
dives by Coy when Yale was within
striking distance of the Princeton goal.
that Captain Dillon was struck and
rendered unconscious. He remained in
rather bad shape for several minutes,
but the physicians say the plucky cap
tain is suffering from a general relaxa-
tion and that his condition Is not Sc
rious.
