TRANSATLANTIC TEAM .
CALLED GAME OFF
Felt That They Could Not Get Large
Enough Crowd in Lexing-
ton TO Pay.

The statement that was published
in some of the Lexington papers that
the football game between Tran
sylvania and Kentucky Wesleyan
had been called off by the latter is
incorrect. The anne was called off
by the Pennsylvania team.
Kentucky Wesleyan has been try
ING to get a game with Transatlantic
ever since the season opened and
Prof. Moore, coach of the team, went
TO Lexington last Monday to arrange
for the game and after a talk with
Mr.. Sweeney, manager of the team,
left there under the impression that
the game would be played and has
been getting his men in shape every
Since.
Friday nioht he received a letter
from Mr.. Sweeney saying that it
would take several days to properly
advertise game in a city as large
as Lexington and with Only one dav
left it would be impossible to adver-
tise it extensively enough to get a
crowd large enough to pay expen-
ses and for that reason called the
game off.

MUCH DANGER OF
LACK OF WATER
If Relief Does Not Come Soon Cold
Weather Will Freeze All
the Ponds.

As a result of the protracted
drouth, the farmers are now facing
one of the worst propositions that
they have had to contend with In a
number of years in the farming in
dusty and that is the scarcity of
stock water. Nearly all the running
streams IN the country are dried up
and what little water there is is full
Of moss and slime.
III relief does not come before the
cold weather sets in and freezes the
ponds the supply will be cut off en-
trely. Most of the farmers and
weather sharps are under the i'm
preston that there will be no rainfall
to amount to anything until after it
SHOWS, while some Took on the sit
uation more favorably since the
threatening looking skies have been
prevailing the past few days and
say that they believe it will rain some
time In the near future.
Reports from the different parts
of the county on the condition of the
wheat crop show that it is doing fair
ly well considering the uEfavorable
season and good many of the far
mers thing that their crop will come
up to the average of other years.
Mr.. r. S. Scobee who has a large
crop in the Mt. Zion neighborhood
says that his crop is good consider
ing the season and the prospects for
a good yield looks favorable enough.
Mr.. Scobee is pretty well informed
on the wheat question and says that
there has been enough moisture to
make the grain sprout and, although
it has not come up in some places,
he says that he believes it is still
alive and will come out later.
Mr.. Clayton Strobe of the Provi-
dence neighborhood has twenty-five
acres Of wheat and. says that it is
just beginning to come through the
ground and. that it looks well and
bids fair to make a good crop.

TOM JOHNSON'S
FRIENDS LOYAL
Many Offer Aid in Hour of Trouble
is rendered Touring
Car.

Cleveland, o., Nov 21-Friends OF
Mayor Tom L. Johnson are steadfast
in their loyalty to him in the hour of
his financial depression, and his Of
flee in he city hall was thronged by
a crowd, many of whom wanted to
help him in a substantial way.
Here's $4,000 in cash." said one
mai. Il want to give it to Mayor
Tom" Others offered sums ranging
up to $500 and $1,000 All of these of
fers were declined by the mayors
secretary.
1--WE got a dandy big touring car,
with top and everything complete"
said one visitor. IF Mayor Tom
must give up his autos, l want him
to have this one" 1t was declined
with thanks, as Johnsons intimate
personal friends have started a
movement to buy him an auto if he
really has to sell his machines.
How much property would be left
II his creditors pressed him is prob
lematical. The outcome may prove
more favorable than expected if op-
portunity is given to realize on assets
at their full value.
Charles z. Bayne, who married the
widow of Mayor Johnson's brother
Albert, bitterly assailed the mayor
as a "hot-air merchant" in New
that Mayor Johnson had sacrificed
his personal interests to save his
dead brothers estate.

Oc-Street is Badly Dis
rupted.

New York, Nov 21-More than 20
persons lost their lives as a result VI
the explosion of a gas main at Gold
and Front streets, Brooklyn. Prac-
tically the whole street from the
stoop line, between Gold and Front

were working and several persons
who were walking along the street
are believed to have been carried
down. Every person who went into
the excavation was killed instantly or
smothered or drowned. Fifty tene-
ment houses ON the block are in such
danger of falling into the trench that
the occupants have been ordered out
by the police
The most intense excitement pre-
vailed for blocks around the scene
of the accident and the streets were
filled with wailing women and chill
dren, who were unable to get any
word from relatives known to be in
came. At least one woman and three
little girls are said by the police to
have been swallowed up in the cave
in which followed the explosion.
The workmen were digging q
trench through Gold street for the
installation of 36-inch sewer pipe.
The excavation was to be nearly 80
feet deep and as the laborers remov-
ed the earth the walls had been
shored by large timbers. With
Charles Schiffmeyer, a city inspector
Of sewers, overseeing the work, the
men were working at the bottom Of
the trench, when an accumulation Of
gas from main which had been ac-
cidentally broken during the course
of the work exploded with tremend-
Gus force. The supporting timbers
were ripped away and the high dirt
walls toppled over on Schiffmeyer
and his men. A large water main
also was broken by the force of the
explosion and a perfect torrent of wa
tel. began to squirt up through the
mass of wreckage. Almost side by
side with these geysers roared the
flames from the gas escaping from

men from the city water department
and the gas company worked desper-
etely together in an effort to check
the aow Of gas and water and to re-
lieve the men who had been impris-
oned.
An employee of the gas company
who was sent to turn off the gas was
arrested and charged with homicide,

were also taken into custody on sus-
picion.

ment workers. Trout lost his life in

FOR BETTER ASSESSMENT.
Washington Assessors Preparing to
Equallze Values.

The following from the Yakima
Republic shows something OF the Ell
fort TO secure uniform assessment OF
timber lands in the state of Washing
ton:
After further discussion yesterday
afternoon the assessors convention
decided to increase the membership
of the committee which is to deal with
the timber values for assessment pur-
noses so as to include practically all
of the assessors in whose counties
timber Is one of the considerable nat
ural resources, says the Republic.
The committee will consist of IS
assessors and all three members OF
the tax commission. The work of this
commenced last evening
when an organization meeting was
held in the Yakima hotel. Thos A.
Parish presiding. The work of this
committee will not be made public.
Specific values will be placed upon
each class Of timber and the assessors
will be expected to abide by the
schedule prepared. This will make
possible an equal assessment in every
part of the state.
In the valuation of timber there
are many problems for the assessors
to face because conditions vary to a
great extent and have a direct bear
ing upon values.
A question came up for discussion
yesterday regarding the comparative
value of large and small holdings
when the latter are situated in the
midst of the former and cannot be
economically utilized except by sale
to the holder of the large tract. 1t
was agreed that in such cases the
small holdings should be assessed at
a lower rate than the big holdings.
