Game in Detail
Stoney for the Saints kicked off at
2:35 O'Clock to Lewis, who was downed
on his twenty fve-yard line. Lewis
made three yards through center.
Smith made fifteen yards around the
Saints right end and Ardla five more
yards around the Saints left end. st.
Vincent was penalized five yards for
being off side and Stoney punted to
the Indians f1fty-yard line. Coleman
for the Indians made six yards around
the Saints right end. Ardia punted
from the center of the field to Torte2
for touchback.
Stoney kicked from the twenty-five
yard line to Bullock. who was downed
on the Saints forty-two-yard line.
Smith made five yards through left
tackle and the Saints were penalized
five yards for being off side. Ardia
attempted forward pass on the second
down. The play failed and the In
dams were penalized fifteen yards. Ar
dia punted to Shute, who was downed
on his fifteen-yard line. Stoney punted
and recovered the ball on the Saints
forty-five-y yard line. Lewis made four
yards through center. An exchange OF
punts gave the ball to the Indians on
their fifty-yard line. Bullock dropped
back for a kick and made a Vineyard
run around the Saints right end.
The Saints were again penalized for
being off side and the Indians had
the ball on their forty-yard line. Ardia
punted, Stoney returned on the next
play and Grindle got down the field
in time to recover the ball on the In
dams thirty-yard line.
Misses Forward Pass
Tortez tried an onside kick from
placement, but Ardia recovered the
sphere and punted to Tortez, who ran
the ball to the center of the field be-
fore being downed. Another exchange
of punts gave Shute the ball on the
Indians Vineyard line. Tortez
missed forward pass on the next play
and the resulting penalty forced Stoney
to punt again to Smith. who wai

Say Roosevelt Is Perturbed Over Ills
 Prospects. s..- E. Washington. Special to New York Her
 Governor John A. Johnson's Wash ington press bureau. which began op- erations Friday, launched yesterday It's first bonn bsnell into the Bryan ranks by asserting that the administration Is greatly perturbed by the possibility that Governor Johnson, and not MI. Bryan, may be the Democratic nom1- nee for President.
 This perturbation Is based upon the allegation that until this time neither the President nor any other RepuPll7 can leader has figured anybody but Bryan as the Democratic standard bearer, and hence they are put to the necessity of changing all their plans if another candidate Is named. The statement issued by the Johnson men says -,a4.,o odv,sars are uneasy by the persistent report in Washington of the growing strength of Johnson of Minnesota ln the nsnt for the Dem mocratic presidential noml- nation developed here today.
 The President has been told there is a growing sentiment for the Mlnne- Sota man and Roosevelt would be less of a politician than he ts IT ne were not somewhat disturbed by the rumors AS a matter of fact the administration leaders have made representatlons 10 him that 1t would be nuch more se- rious task to try to elect Taft over Johnson than it would he to put the Ohioan in the White House over bry- an. .,,....,, ,,,,
 Up to this time the Republicans have boosted the Taft boom and taken all their actions under the idea mat Bryan would certainly be nominated at the Denver Convention. This ldea was extremely comforting to them, because they have made no secret of the fact that Bryan as the Democratic nominee suits them more than he could possl- ply suit the Democrats. They are sure they can put Taft up and beat the Ne braskan without any difhculty'
 But the talk of Johnson, the ln- creasing number of uninstructed Dem ocrats from New England ana ,ae tne South and his power as vote setter have at last brought the Washington Republican prophets to realization that they may have a harder proposl- ton to confront. In adminlstratloh circles there is no uneasiness about the nomination of Taft They feel sure they can have him nominated m Chl- cago on. the first ballot, , ,...
 SFeellng comfortable on tnls point they are turning their attention prac- tically to the election probabilities.

THE RACE OF SUCKERS.

That Barnum was correct when he said that people like to be humbugged IS more plainly shown each day, but the Kind of bait that some suckers will bite at is almost incredible. For ex- ample a Kentucky man not long ago advertised a patent churn which he guaranteed would produce one pound of butter from one pint of milk. It would seem that any human being with sense enough to find the way around a lunatic asylum would know that such a thing as this man adver- tised was impossible, yet we are as- sured that he was getting letters with remittances right along until the pos tai authorities stepped in and put stop to the swindle.
 Now. here was a humbug so plain that it would seem absolutely out of the question for anybody to be taken in by it. Even the most secluded city resident. who never saw a churn. and
 
 comes from milk or milk from butter, ought to know better than to buy a gold brick of this sort. but that any resident of the rural regions should be caught is really discouraging to one who tries to have faith in the intelr- gence of the American people. The statement that new sucker is born every minute, we believe it Is, is none too broad. for the crop will have to come thick and fast to keep up with the demand. Some swindling proposi- tions appear so plausible and genu- inely fair that people of intelligence and experience are sometimes taken in by them. but the churn business was such a plain steal that even the most ignorant of human beings should have been able to spot it. Suckers will bite there's no doubt of that.

Philander 0. Knox.

Philander c. Knox. United States Senator from Pennsylvania and in- dorsed by the Republicans of that State for Presidential nomination, was born in Brownsville. Pa, May. 6, 1858. He received his education in Mt. Union College, Ohio, from which institution he graduated in 1872. Three years la ter he was admitted te the bar and be- gan the practice of law in Pittsburg: Tn 1878 he was appointed assistant United States district attorney for the Western district of Pennsylvania, which position he resigned at the end of a year to resume his legal practice. The law firm of which he was mem Der became one of the most prominent in Pittsburg, representing the inter. ests of many of the large industrial corporations of that city For a quarter of century or longer MT. Knox took an active Interest in the Re- publican politics of Pittsburg, but never sought public office. In 1901. up- on the earnest solicitation. of the Pres: ident, Mir. Knox left private life and accepted the position of Attorney Gen eral in the cabinet of President McKin- ley A few years later he was ap- pointed to fill the vacancy in the Unit ed States senatorship caused by the death of Senator Quay and in 1905 Senator Knox was elected for the full term.

His Friends Think He Ia Right Man

 Washington Special to Atlanta Consti-
 tuition.
 Jealous friends of John Albert John son are exerting their efforts to bring about a meeting between Minnesota's executive and the democratic voters of the country. They insist that their governor Is a man of presidential mold and that the country only needs to see and hear him to be convinced iof it.
 Governor Johnson captured the fancy and won the admiration of official and newspaper Washington by the manner in which he passed, this winter, through the trying ordeal of his frs first speech brought him full into the na- tioual limelight. In writing of the in cident some one said that "he fell into a gentle raillery, whose satircal flavor was so delicate and so persuasive as to capture the admiration of every man who sat under it's spell He tolo no stories, related no anecdote; there but rather a seemly modesty which, when one looked behind it. was seen to conceal a man of kindly humor."
 of wonderful magnetism, with a won- derfully smooth and pleasing voice, full of tone and quality. This, with. a him one of the most delightful orators in the northwest. In Everybody's s Magazine for April, in a recent issue of Worlds Work and in the American Ma gazine some time last fall were pub lished very interesting and sympathetic stories of him. They revealed the com bination of elements in the man which have drawn people of all kinds and conditions to him. As a youth. a young man, a country editor and now gov ernor of a state which Is nominally re- nublican by a large majority, he has encountered conditions which have de- veIoped every bit, of the grit and American energy he has in his makeup.
 The Minnesota democratic committee, with headquarters in Chicago, Is con fdent that MT. Johnson has flghting chance of being nominated at Denver. Industrious and clever men are at work. trying to convince the democrats ts of the union that the governor of Min nesota would prove a great vote getter before the people. They point to his remarkable record in his own state where he won his first election by a plurality of 5000, and his second by 15OOO. This, 1t Is argued. should be ] convincing on that score.

rHE ENoRMous F1RE LossEs.

The publication called Fibre and Fabric has been compiling fire statis- tics and the result. when brought out in plain figures. is astonishing. It shows. that during the year 1907 the losses from fire in the United States and Canada amounted to $500, ,OO0 day. taking the average for the entire year. The recent fire at Chelsea, adjoining Boston. is estimated to have caused a loss of $12,OOO 900. but that only rep resented the losses of each twenty days for the past year, In other words, we have equivalent to a Chelsea fire ev- cry three weeks. The journal from which we quote these figures would have drastic measures applied to those who may be at fault in such cases. Well" 1t says. let us try the effect of changing the law so that the man whose carelessness allows a fire to start will go to jail for practically as long a time as if he started the blaze purposely."
 This would be somewhat like the laws of Draco. but Fibre and Fabric declares that we as nation, are en- tirely too good natured in our treat ment of those whose negligence Is re- sponsible for so many fires. This may be true. but we apprehend that such a law as the one proposed would be very difficult of enforcement. if for no other reason than because of the difficulty of proving carelessness in most ca ses. There would be instances where negligence could be proven be- yond doubt but such would be few in comparison with the many fires for which no cause can be found. And speaking of this matter, The New Bed ford Standard makes these comments:
 In spite of all the statistics which have been gathered concerning this subject, and in spite of the constant insistence upon them and their les son by the newspapers and by other preachers of carefulness, very few peo- pie have ever appreciated that this country has to suffer the loss of a Chelsea fire every three weeks in 4 year When anything Is said in any community about fires. the people of that community generally rise up to brag about their fra department hut we do not know that they often have much to say about what they are doing to prevent the possibility of conflagra- ton. Sometimes they even boast of that which is far from being to their credit in this direction. One of the speakers at the Board of Trade dinner the other night undoubtedly meant to compliment New Bedford when he talk ed about building of what he called comfortable homes for the workingmen of the north end of this city. That was a pleasant thing to say possibly, but it would have been far nearer to the truth to have bluntly told the as- sembled diners that a tremendous fire hazard was being created. with ele- ments and conditions which might at almost any time contribute to making ashes out of these comfortable homes for the workingmen. New Bedford is no sinner above other cities in this respect Most of the Massachusett cities are fairly open to the same crit icism. There Is an appalling amount of earelessness in the construction of

American cities and an appalling amount of carelessness in looking out for their safety after they are built.
 The Standard 1t will be observed, places most of the blame upon those who build houses. and very properly so. we may say. but this is a kind of care lessness which can hardly be punished by law. except in one way. A strict building law, especially in the towns and cities, might be enacted and en- forced which would require every new building to be as nearly fire proof as modern skill can make it, and proper penalties be added for the violation of the provisions of the law. In this way something approaching immunity from fires might be reached, but even that, however strictly enforced, would not be fully effective unless it enforced the tearing down of all the infiammable structures already standing. and we hardly see how this could be done.
 The truth of the matter, as should be apparent to all who take thought of such things. Is that most of the cheap wooden houses built these days are little better than finder boxes. Af- ter standing a short time until the ma terials of which they are built become fully dried, they become firetraps as a matter of fact. The least careless ness or negligence will cause the build- ing to take fire, and unless prompt and effective measures can be resorted to the building is not only likely to burn down. but the flames will spread to other structures of like kind to the peril of life and property on a large scale. The Chelsea fire was a case in point, but others of like kind have not been uncommon in the past and we may expect many repetitions unless preventive measures of the strictest kind are resorted to and enforced.
 We sometimes think that the dis appearance of the timber of the coun- try and the increasing dificulty of SGLtlnS WOOu AOt PAA POSCo may be a real blessing to humanity in the long run. Such wonderful advance has been made of recent years in the use of concrete that we may safely predict that the time is not far distant when no more wooden buildings will be erected in the cities, and when even the cheapest residences will be prac- tically freproof. Then there will be few Chelsea horrors, the fire losses will be diminished to a minimum, and there will be no more such records as those of last year.
 This may be a somewhat Utopian view to take of the future. but the facts justify it. Those who have at all kept up with the constantly diminishing supply of wood for building purposes and the constant increase in prices must see that houses cannot longer be cheaply constructed of that material. Likewise, all who have observed how rapidly concrete in some form or other Is coming into use must see that the time is near at hand when houses can be butt quicker and cheaper of that than of wood, and will have the fur ther and great advantage of being im- measurably safer from fire. The hg- ures shown by. Fibre and Fabric are not much to our credit as a people, and it is profoundly to be hoped that such records will not. continue to be made against us.
