AWAIT REPLY OF COMMITTEE Talk of Auburn-Ala-
 bama Game. BLUNDER IF ITS NOT PLAYED Alabama. Said to Be Trying to
 Cancel Indians. This Would Allow Game To Be Played November s1. Other Dates Being
 Found Closed Very
 Tight.

With the beginning of another week Of football training. again flares up the question: Will Auburn and Ala
 If the majority of alumni of either institution were consulted the great annual scrimmage between these elev- ems would most certainly be played. They have expressed themselvs in fav- slider 1t serious blunder if the match the public Is entitled. The men hay ing the matter in hand should there fore consider more than a petty diff ference here and another there.
 immediately before the Auburn-Se- vance contest in Birmingham last Sat- urday 1t is said that the Alabama com mittee on arbitration told the Orange and Blue squad that an effort would 9e made to cancel the game which the Alabama eleven has scheduled for Mo- xember 2l with the Haskell Indians. This Is the date which Auburn last onered the University committee after burn previously held open for the Ala ma-Auburn game.
 However. the Auburn authorities not word since % the he ssHe seWanee-SubuT1 rsGs,uTa incident. It is to be hoped that the snorts to cancel the game with the haskell Indians will be successful, even if forfeit has to be incurred. of which Auburn will probably pay half. Ihis would seem an easier solution of Ine prob lem than Auburn's cutting out The Tech date for November 2, the only ante-Thanksgiving engagement that the University offered the Orange and Blue.
 This is apparent to all when 1t is known that the Techs have repeatedly declined to accommodate Auburn and Alabama in their squabble. And it is that If Auburn should be high handed enough to cancel the date regardless, not only would the forfeit be staring her in face as a conse- quence but she may suffer expulsion from the Southern Intercollegiate Ath- letic Association.
 The Haskell Indians, some of the AlaDama sympathizers say. will be good drawing card for the University. But suppose there is no alternative to secure the Auburn Alabama meet but |

.srhe Merry Widows" Wonderful Rec
 ord.
 "The Merry Widow" by Franz Le- har. was first produced at the Theatre an der Wien, in Vienna. on the night of Jan 1, 1906. Tn German it Is known as Die Lustige Mitwe." It made the greatest musical success in the his tory of the city notwithstanding the fact that in the same historic the- atre Mozart produced in 179s his oper- etta. "The Magic Flute" The Merry Widow" continued it's run in Vienna for over 800 consecutive performances. Sven this unprecedented record Is lit- tie when 1t Is recalled that the opera has been translated into thirty differ ent languages and has duplicated its success in every country. It Is said over one hundred million copies Of the waltz from "The Merry Widow" have been sold in the various countries where it has been sung. Composer Le- har Is reputed to have received a half million dollars In royalties. Royalties pour in daily and the floor of his rev. enue IS increasing at rate that is hard to believe, There seems to be no limit to the popularity of the op- eretta.

 Especially should Alabama now ex- press a willingness to play the game Her committee should hustle in the negotiations moro than ever to repel the rumors nov starting that Auburn's triumph over Sewanee and her own de- feat by the Techs last Saturday may halt the arbitration steps. Local alum ni of the Crimson and White seem to be of this opinion and it is up to those in charge.
 This much is a cinch: Both colleges will display poor business judgment to let all things fail at this time when the game has been advertised worse than Pads and Fancfes or even Sappho. The extended controversy and airing before the public will have counted for naught. And the treasury of either may be empty as a hollow-sounding reed.

POWER CASE
 AGAIN TRIED Dispute as to Electricity
 Price. TRACTION COMPANY CLAIMANT Alleged That Powor Was Sold
 Cheaper to Others. Case VIII Consume Much Time as Much of Testimony Is Ex- pert and Exhaustive in Na-

For the second time the suit of the Montgomery Traction Company against the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company Is up for trial in the Montgomery City Court The case. involving as 1t does $50,0O0 which the plaintiff claims Is due from excess of prices paid for electricity, Is one of technicalities and fine legal points, and this quality was evidenced in the first day of the trial of the case.
 Mondays session of the City Court was occupied entirely with the exam ination of four witnesses for the plain tiff they being F. K. Jackson. Roy Wilkerson, R. J. Ragland. and MT. Vessel, an electrical expert
 The contention of the Montgomery Traction Company is that a contract was entered into between themselves and the Montgomery Light and Wa ter Power Company, whereby the Trac- tion company was to be furnished with electricity for power at the rate of Ia cents per kilowatt hour, the contract specifying that, in case at any time a cheaper rate was granted by the M. l.. & W. P. Co. to any cus- toner then that cheaper rate would be granted the Traction Company.
 Alleging that a cheaper rate was granted In several instances. notably Iub DcduNOlT SlOD anu the ELK S Club, and that the subsequent rate was not extended the Traction Company, that company brings suit for an over charge.
 The cheaper rate 1t Is contended. came through the installation of a fiat rate. alleged to be cheaper than l 1-2 cents per Kilowat hour.
 The M. l.. & w. P. Co. declares that the suit was not brought, nor | was ever threatened until the Trac+ | tion Company was many thousand | dollars in arrears of the payment for the power furnished, and when it had | been threatened to cut off the power. It will also be endeavored to prove that there was no rate offered any patron, cheaper than the rate extend d the Traction Company.
 The case will to all intents, be engthy. as much of the testimony is hat of electrical experts. and is neces- 'arily vague to the uninitiated Ex- pert testimony will be introduced by both sides
 The case was brought to trial at he spring term of the court, but turing its progress, one Of the Jurors vas taken desperately ill necessitat- ng the postponement of the trial. It s expected that Thursday of this week will witness the close of the case.l

 Washington, Oct. 26.-Omcers of the army stationed at isolated ports in the Philippines have for a long time found that the amount of enter taining of visiting government officials and employees devolving upon them has resulted in a financial burden that many are unable to bear.
 At many posts entertainment is to be had only at officers quarters and a Iallure to invite government officials to their private mess would leave the visitors without opportunity to secure food and shelter. For this reason, of necessity, the hospitality of the offi. cials has been extended.
