Five eastern football players have
distinguished themselves of late to
such an extent that if an all eastern

undoubtedly would be members of it.
They are Brides and Biglow of Yale,
Wister of Princeton. Houser Of Car

are new men in their positions for the
first team in the land.
Brides by his end running and line
plunging against Brown established a
wight to the distinction of being the
best all round player in America. He
was Yale's best guard. then the best
end at New Haven and is now looked
1Ipon as mainstay behind the line.

He did great work against Princeton
too. Not only is he good in offensive
work, but he shone by tackling May
hew, one of the fastest backs in the
country, every time he tried to skirt
the end for Brown.
Houser tore through Harvard's line,
as he did through Princeton's, and
gained steadily around the Crimson
ends. He has another qualification as
q great fullback in his ability to make
Longer forward passes with accuracy
than any other player. Besides, he
can kick with the best Of them. He
made two goals from placement
against Syracuse and two against Penn

Erwin, West Points left guard,
proved superior to Thompson of Cor
nell, who was named by many as an
all eastern player last year. Erwin
tackled as hard and often against Cor
nell as he did against Yale, was down
the field under every punt and tore
many holes in the Ithaca line.

At the Astor theater Henry w. Saw
age has produced "Tom JONES'" new
comic opera. The music is by Edward
German, the lyrics are by Charles n.
Taylor. and the book is by Messrs.
Robert Courtneidge and A. M. ThOmp-
son. 1t has been heard and seen In
London for months, and now it has
come to this city Of noise to try its
tuneful fortune.
Tom Jones" is exceedingly pretty.
The music sparkles in its quaintness,
and it rings true, for 1t is written by
musician. But despite its charm it is
light and catchy enough to win popu-
larity.
The book is founded on Henry Field
ing's story, but the burs of that late
gentleman's language have been re-
moved by a fine tooth comb with ut
most care. Especially does this apply
to the impetuous vocal explosions Of
one Squire Western.
1t is hardly fair, however, to call
'Tom Jones" a comic opera. 1t Is
really a romantic opera. 1t is true
there IS comedy in it, and good comedy
too. purveyed by the inimitable Will
liam Norris, he of the nervous wink
and eloquent feet who plays most ad-
mirably the role of a village barber
He loses a leech named Lizzie, and this

and he is allowed to prattle even in
Latin, which is n defiance to New
York audience.
Miss Louise Cunning was admirable
as Sophia. She acted the role well,
and her singing was surprise to thu
multitude. Her voice Is pleasing CT

SOCIALIST AND
LABOR PARTY
COMBINE
Will Fight Under One Ban
ner s. Claims Voting
Strength Of 100000.

Leaders of the Socialist Labor party
and of the Socialist party have come to
recognize the fact that their interests
lie in the same direction and that
further spats and internal wars will not
avail either party anything, and these
leaders have practically decided to
emerge interests and fight under one
banner in the future.
The Socialist party is composed of
seceders from the Socialist Labor party.
This latter body has been recognized
as a political factor for yeaI5. Their
official stamp is the hammer and arm
often seen on the political ballots. The
Socialist party thought it had the right
to use this emblem but found out that
the Labor party had first call and was
compelled to bow to the Labor cham
pions.
Now there is a movement on foot to
consolidate and 1t is the hope of The
two party leaders that when this is
done the combined voting strength will
reach 1000, 900 votes. Past political sta
tistics show hat there is sufficient
grounds for such hope.
OF course the present leaders of both
clans will strive to hold on to their
~leaderships just the same.

PULLMAN PROBE
SHIPPERS CHIEF FILES
CHARGES.
Sleeping Car Company Imposes Extor
tionate Rates Upon Railroads,
1t Is Alleged.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia thorough In
vestigation Of he operations of the Pull
man Company will be asked in a petition
that will be filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission this week. The com
plainant In this case. which is expected to
attract widespread attention, is George S,
LOTUS, Of st. Paul. president of the
Minnesota Shippers Association.
1t will be alleged by complainant that
the sleeping car company imposes unjust,
unreasonable and excessive rates, in viola
ton of the provisions of the Hepburn act,
and it will be charged that such unjust
rates are made possible by unfair con-
tracts forced upon The railroads, contracts
that are made possible by reason of the
alleged fact that = n great many railroad
managers have heavy holdings in the com
pany.
In support of the contention that the
rates are excessive, it will be shown that
the concern yields annual revenues amount
ing to 100000 on a capitalization of S125,
oN,N0, but it will be charged in this con-
nection that the amount of capital actually
paid into the company is not in excess of
$50, 900, 900.
The petition will urge that sleeping car
rates throughout the United States be re-
duced; that the company be prohibited
from collecting as much for upper as for
lower berths, and that the charge for lower
berths be reduced by % per cent.
