AFFINITY COMMITS SUICIDE.
Miss Maud Harvey, a Trained Nurse
Kills Herself.

New York, Jan lin the little norgus
at White Plains Coroner Squires revealed
the tragic ending Of an affinity which
in one way or another has been in print
several times recently. The central figure
was the body Of Alice Maud Harvey, a
trained nurse. She killed herself In
lonely field between White Plains and
Mamaroneck with carboiic acid, leaving
TWO brief notes.

body was found last night
Alice Maud Harvey was employed at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. o. Hobby,
Of White Plains, and on Christmas Day
she disappeared. warrant had been
issued for her in New Jersey under the
''anti-affinity'' law, and she was expect
ing arrest. The fear Of such shame, her
friends say, caused her suicide
This was proved true by the investiga-
ton. Miss Harvey had received a letter
Christmas morning that seemed 10 de-
press her. Late in the afternoon she
asked for short leave OF absence and
bade Mrs Hobby good-by. While the
police were seeking her they received
word from Chief Bell. of East Orange.
10 arrest her. It developed subsequently
that a warrant for her had been for
warded from East Orange by Chief Bell
TO the New York police.
There was on Miss Harvey's body an
unmaiIed letter which she evidently wrote
on Christmas Day. 1t was as follows

ARMY-NAVY GAME EARLIER.
Big Football Battle May Conflict
with YaIe-Haryard Contest.

Win GHAe-HHTfaf0 NbHtCHhs
West Point. N Y. Jan. There is a
strong probability that the Army-Navy
football game will be played a week
earlier than usual this year. and thus
conflict with the Yale-Harvard game at
New Haven. West Point has opened ne
gotiations with Annapolis to this end, Of
fering two good reasons for the change.
The first has TO do with the game as
now played being too close 20 an ex-
animation period ar West Point; the sec
ond. with the weather. The army men
contend that Annapolis has distinct ad-
vantage in the latter respect on account
of being so far South. II s pointed out
that snow and frozen ground made It i'm
possible for the West Point players 10
get out in the field more than once in
the last ten days before the game last
fall and the same handicap has been ex-
perienced in other years. This was part
ly responsible it is thought for the
army's poor showing.
The navy's chief objection TO an earlier
date lies in the fact that the annual
cruise is not over until the middle Of
September ana consequently the army
team can begin work much earlier. To
meet this, West Point will agree 10 delay
practice to a date when Annapolis can
start in to build up a team.

Mr. Hough, although one of the oldest

score Of down, and r. Lindsay finished
third with down.
The weather conditions were ideal for
play, many Of the golfers being out as

were treated to some good exhibitions Of
the game.

Pat Dempsey. the only American who
ever coached an elga.-oared crew that
won a race in Europe. believes that the
National Association OF Amateur Oars
men is making a mistake in ATTEMPTING
to pick an All-American crew TO compete
in the worlds championship regatta at
London next season.
II cannot understand how II Will ba
possible 10 get a truly representative
American eight by the method proposed
by the National Association" SAYS Demp-
sey. The present plan is TO have rowing
men in the Eastern cities name the best
oarsmen In their respective localities and
put this aggregation in a shell and send
1t abroad as Americas representative in
the Olympic regatta.
ANY one who IS familiar with rowing
understands that the biggest factor in a
good crew is form. No matter how strong
physically the eight might be. unless the
crew is we'll together. there is little hope
Of successfully competing with we'll
trained foreign crews. Il is no doubt
true that the men selected to name the
f~-N 'fsA1AAifAi ttA tltE I<cici VIII succeed IN
getting together eight good men. each
one Of which Will be a reliable individual
performer; but how are these men 20 be
made into perfect rowing machine?
My idea would be to pick crews IN
each city-say Boston. New York. Phila-
delphia and Washington-and have these
crews race in a special event at one Of
the leading Tegattas, and send the winner
abroad 10 represent this country in the
contest for the worlds title II would un-
doubtedly be true that each crew would
have one or more men who would not be
quite so strong as the best men in the de-
teated crews, but I think that the advan-
/ tage OF better form and greater fami-
iarity, which would come from each city's
crew practicing together for a long time.
would be greater than any strength that
might be obtained by filling the shell with
/ eight strangers.
Not only would this mean that we
would be wei represented in the foreign
regatta, but it would also engender a bet
ter feeling Of friendship between the
clubs in each city"

WILL BOWL FOR "a HOURS.
Krauss to Attempt Novel Feat of
Endurance on Palace Alleys.

At S o'clock this evening Harry Krauss.
the well-known local bowler and manager
of the Palace Alleys, will start on an at
tempt TO bowl twenty-fOur hours without
any intermission except time in which to
partake Of little nourishment.
This is the first time that this feat has
ever been attempted, as tits a severe tax
on man to bowl LAO minutes on a
stretch without any let-up. It is figured
that Krauss will swing a sixteen-pound
ball on an average Of nine times each
game, which viii mean that he viii ham
