The team made up of George Dillon, Willie Flynn, George Rapuzzi, Wade Olsen, and Hagen Mckay made three poluts; while the other team, made up of Arthur Mckay, Edwin Lid dIcoat, Harold Muivihill, Emerson Rogeas, and Edwin Matthews, failed to score.
 The last game, between the soccers and the Wild Cats (reiniorced by three members of the class of 19o8), was hard fought from beginning to end. At times the rough play brought forth warnings from the referee. The Wild Cats lost because of their inability to hit the basket The soccers were par tlcularly good in this respect; they also guarded closely. They failed to run up a large score only because of failure on free throws, getting the ball in the basket only four time in seventeen trials Lineup;

REV. JAS. THOMAS
 RE-ADMITTED
Texarkana Preacher Taken luto Full Connection by Methodist Con-
 ference and Little Rock
 Church Asks for Him.

Little Rock, Nov. 27.-At a business session of the Little Rock annual conference of the M, l.. church, south, yesterday morning at Wind6eld Memorial church, the Rev. James Thomas. who withdrew from active mem bership in the conference two years ago at his own request was re-admitted to full member ship. A letter has been writ ten to Dr. A. c. Millar, presiding elder of the Little Rock district by the official board of Asbury M F. church, south, of the city asking him to use his influence to have the Rev. MT. Thomas sent to Asburv church.
 Charges were made against the Rev. MT. Thomas by some mem bers of the conference eight years ago, the claim being made that he was not James Thomas, but Otto Brock, a former Baptis, munster in Texas, but who had been ousted by that denomina- tion. Both he and his friends denied the charge, resulting in many bitter fights, aud finally suits for islander, which gave Dr. Thomas complete victory over his enemies.

CURIOSITY ABOUT "cLANsMAN''
Play That Draws the Attention of
 Courts and Legislatures.

It is easy to understand the general curiosity among theater- goers concerning the visit of "The Clansman" which will be seen in this city at the Davis opera house on Tuesday, Decem- Der s.
 Ever since its first performance over three years ago this play has engrossed a good sized share of public attention. It has been a serious subject for deliberation ih municipal bodies, state legis- latures and courts of low and high degree. Mayors of cities, governors of states and even President Roosevelt himself have been asked to decide whether or not the play should be presented. These decisions have always been overwhelmingly in favor of "The Clansman with the single exception of Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia, Penn, who stopped the production and his own po- litical career at the same time. Inquiries at the box office iudi- cate capacity when "The Clans man" reaches this city.

Kansas City, Nov 2S.--Charles Stew ems won't need his s100 silk lined and padded overcoat for while. A jury in the federal court at noon Friday found the negro guilty of stealing s50,- 900 from mail pouch in Kansas City, June G. The verdict was returned after the jury had been out 30 min utes.
 If Stevens should be sentenced the limit on each of the six indictments against him he would be an old man before he would have an opportunity to spend the rest of the $50,000. The limit is s years and the maximum five years in the penitentiary. Stevens Is 30 years old now.
 None of the stolen money has been recovered. The postoffice inspectors believe that the negro has hidden the money.
 Most of the evidence that convicted Stevens was circumstantial. The gov ernment had only one witness. boy tramp, who saw Stevens with the pouch after the robbery. But several persons saw the negro lettering at the Union depot the night the pouch disappeared
 The government had witnesses to show that Stevens, previous to the pouch robbery was employed as a hotel porter at a salary of $9 week. and that he borrowed $10 from a friend in Topeka the day before the robbery.
 Immediately after the pouch disap- peared Stevens began spending money lavishly This was his expense ac- count for one week:
 Diamonds, $500; suits. s200; shoes, s41; two suitcases. s70; $50 to mes senger boy: one bath. $5. Between June and June 10 Stew ems spent s1.0Sl.
 A report from San Francisco says that Stevens paid w. T. Hume, an at torney from that city. sl0.000 to de fend him. Hume made the closing argument for the negro to the jury Friday morning. Local attorneys seemed to have the active manage ment of the pouch theifs case. Hume acting as adviser. The San Francisco attorney made excuses to the jury for being in the case.
 T was on the way from the Pacific coast to Washington" he said, and l dropped off to help the boy"
 The jury did not appear to be much impressed with Hume's plea. He did. n't seem to be much interested him self
 Hume defended Stevens in Portland, Ore, in 1902. when the negro was ac- cused of stealing diamonds worth s50,- 900. Stevens was acquitted.
 Stevens was arrested in Kansas City July 23. He visited several large cities and spent money freely. between June 6 and the day of his return. The rifled mail pouch was found in the weeds after the robbery.
