DELAWARE MEN
FULL OF GINGER
Easily Defeat John Hopkins
on Saturday By 9 to 0
Score

In a 0ne-sided game on a snowy field
Saturday afternoon the over-conhdent
eleven Of the Johns Hopkins University
was outclassed by the sturdy team from
Delaware College to the tune Of o to 0.
From the commencement Of the game
lit was simply a question of the score
which Delaware would run up on the local
men. who although they possessed the
advantage in weight were unable to cope
successfully with the end and forward
pass plays OF the visitors. At no stage Of
the game. except for chance at a goal
from the field I'm the second half, were
the Hopkins men within scoring distance.
Several bad fumbles for them at critical
times proved to be very costly. the initial
score Of the game-a touchdown ON the
part OF Cana, OF Dclaware-bcing made
on a tumble.
Both tallies were made In the first half.
The touchdown on the part Of Cam was
followed within "A few minutes by a goal
from tho field by Haley. who made sew
oral brilliant runs and was a tower OF
strength on the defensive SO ragged was
the playing Of the Hopkins at times and
so frequent the fumbles that early i'm tho
second half Fulton after fumbing at a

cunning Of Chesney was stopped by Lyn-

The loss came as severe blow TO tho
hopes of the Black and Blue whose first

CONSP|RATORS
SHOT TO DEATH
President Cabrera of Guate-
maIa Gets Rid of Some of
His Enemies.

Guatemala City. April 2S.-PreSident
Cabrera himself is authority for the
statement that eighteen of the ringlead-
ers in conspiracy against him already
have been shot to death and that prob
ably more executions will follow.
President Cabrera, against whose life
an attempt was made by students on
Monday last, today received the represen-
a lengthy statement to them that he had
unearthed an extensive conspiracy against
him that led up to his attempted assas-
sination.
He declared that eighteen of the lead
ers had been killed by his orders and
that the death penalty would be meted
out to others at the hands of the mill
tary. Among these are the men who
were imprisoned a year ago. Having
been implicated in plot TO assassinate
the president, they were sentenced to
death soon after their arrest. but SEN
tence had not been carried out. Presi-
dent Cabrera said that he had proofs
that a majority of these prisoners were
implicated in the new attempt against
his life and that they would be executed
without delay.
Although there is surface tranquil
lity here, conditions really are serious.
The military is in control of the city and
a partial suspension of business has re-
suited. The revolutionary feeling Is
strong in many quarters and tnere are
those who will not hesitate to go to any
length or face any danger in their ef-
forts to make away with the president
Cabrera for this reason has been seen
hut twice or thrice in public in the last
few months.

Heney Believes Interested Parties
Sought GaIIaaher's Life.

San Francisco, April 23-"The pros
ecution will certainly make more
thorough investigation of the dastardly
attempt to kill one of the most impor-
tant witnesses for the state in the
bribery graft cases." said Assistant
District Attorney Francis j. Heney
this morning, speaking to the Associ-
ated Press representative just before
Justice Dooling convened court to re-
sumo the examination of veniremen to
complete the jury for the trial of Abra-
ham Ruef.
Heney, who with William ]. Burns.
formerly of the United States secret
service, has had charge of the investi-
cation and prosecution of the bribery
graft cases on which over 400 indict-
ments were returned. was not inclined
to discuss the blowing up of the home
of eX-Supervisor James l.. Gallagher at
Oakland last night. He refused to state
whether or not he had any evidence
pointing to the perpetrators.
Heney Had Warned Gallagher.
Il am satisfied that it was not the
work of fanatic or crank" declared
the assistant district attorney. Mel
Their did the attempt upon GaIIagher's
life surprise me. I warned him more
than three months ago that if he was
not careful they would get him. and
at the same time urged him to move
from Oakland, telling him his house
might be blown up. Aside from this, |
have nothing to say at present.
Heney admitted that Gallagher was
the prosecutions most important wit
ness, and that his testimony furnished
the essential link connecting the bribery
transactions of the supervisors with
Abraham Ruef, the supposed agent 70:

Opinion of Abe Ruef.
Ruef, when seen in the court room.
said he regarded the attempt on Gal
lagher's life as dastardly outrage
and was of the opinion that il was the
work of some crank. He stated that he,
too. had received numerous anonymous
letters denouncing him and threaten
ing him with death by various means
because of his attitude to testify
against the higher ups" Some of
them, he said, were signed with a cof-
fin, skull AMI crOssbones, gravestones
and Hebraic and Chaldaic letters and
symbols.
