SETTLE AN OLD SCORE WITH
* SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL.
In d Fierce Contest on the Gridiron
Here, Saturday, Local Boys Made
Two Touch Downs and Win, from
the Third City, by Decisive Score.
'4;'- -

IN the presence Of, or, to be more
exact, in the midst Of over and unde,
q large croWd-2-for 1t was not posi-,
BILE to keep the: field cIear-the BOYS
OF sumner High School. Parkersburg
and Garnett High School, this citv
played as derce a game of, football as
has been seen here this season.
The teams were evenly matched as
to weight, and neither surpassed the
other In speed and endurance. The
result was that every inch of the
ground was hotly contested, the bows
giving an exhibition well worth see
ing.
With only q minute and a half to
play, Charleston's full dropped back
for a kick, fumbled, and regaininp o
possession Of the ball made a touch
down from the center Of the field. IT
is only fair to the Sumner bows to
state that but for the crowd, which
seriously interfered with both sides
The probabilities are that neither side
would have scored the first half. AS
" was, GarAett was credited wit n
five points, having failed in their try
at goal.
The second half was even more
strenuous than the first, yParkers-
burg endeaY0rtng to tie the score and
Charleston to add to their lead. The
feature Of this half was the tackling
OF Johnson, the Sumner right end.
Whtch was commented upon very, fa-
vorably by; those present. who know
the sanaa NJ Park sbaFg ! made y a
change tn it's line, substituting Fitz-
gerald for Lee, while Charleston
placed Wilcher at quarter, relieving
Fulks,j that both might have a chance
to play.
Is minutes of MAY the ball
was given to James, who broke
through Summers stone wall and,
having made one Of those long runs
which usually throw the spectators
into a frenzy, placed the ball square
ly between the goal posts. The game
practically ended here, the score be-
ing, Garnett, II; Sumner, 0. The
victory is especially pleasing to the
local boys because Of the defeat
which they suffered at the hands of
Parkersburg last year.
The lineup was:
Garnett-Davis, r. e.; Wright, r.
t.; Chandler, r. g.; Anderson, c.;
Bufks. g; Hicks, l. t.; James, l. e.;
Fulks add Wileher, O.; Neal, r. h.;

counties in the northern part Of the
State, which usually go Republican,

gathered around the bookmakers' booth when the odds were posted. There were four horses in the race, which was at quarter of a mile. Mall colm, Billy Strong, May Sella and MT. Knapp were the starters. In the bet ting on the race May Sella opened up favorite at to 5, while the other horses were held at to 1. No attempt was made to interfere with the betting until after the race was run, and as soon as the result was announced ana an attempt made to cash the bets the police became active.
 They placed the two bookmakers, along with W. W. Lyle, under arrest, and all were taken to the Tenth pre- cinct police station. Later the am davits were made against Colonel Heaslip and MT. Corrigan. The mat ter now rests with the courts. If the prisoners are convicted and punished it is not likely that any more attempts at racing will be made, the lisntest penalty being a fine of $1O0, together with six months jail term. Other wise 1t is probable that racing VIII start again in New Orleans.
 No date has yet been set for the trials of those who were arrested In connection with the races, but IL IS probable that no more races Will pc held until the courts decide tnese cases and only then in the event that the turfmen come out victorious

TEST OF RAGING
 IN NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, December 16.-As re- test of the so-called Locke anti-racing law at City Park race track this aft ernoon several turfmen were arrested and affidayits were made against oth- CTS
 Placide Frigerio and R. M. Sheffield, bookmakers, were arrested at the track together with W. w. Lyle, acting as manager of the meet. Affidavits were made against Col. Samuel r. Heaslip' president of the New Orleans Jockey club, and Edward Corrigan, the well known turfman, charging them wlth aiding and abetting the meet, when 1t Is charged, was started with the eyowed purpose of violating the Locke law.
 MT. Corrigan Is not in New Orleans but the police claim that he was the instigator of the meet, and assert that they can hold him responsible Colonei Heaslip, although president or the New Orleans Jockey club, whlch con . trols the City Park track, came out Tn a statement this morning saying he was opposed to the meet and would not be connected with 1t in any way. HIS position as president of the club. how ever, is declared by the ploice to pc the ground on which the affidavit was based, alth ough the club passed resoiu- tions today against holding the mee.' MT. Lyle. who had been given permis- sion by the club some time ago to use the track for exercising his horses held the meet just the same.
 Only one race was run, and this was won by May sella. Quite a crowo

Iron Aqe's Review.

New York, December 1.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 The mills have received their allot- ments for the requirements of the Pennsylvania system. which are placed at minimum of 135, ,000 tons with the privilege of increasing them to a total of 0,000 tons. It Is understood that at least in some instances delivery prior to March 15, 1909, has been re- ported and that some of the mills are in excellent condition to meet this re- quirement. In some instances the makers have been asked to furnish open hearth steel to the extent of one half of the order. While all of the companies have open hearth plants, their location In some of them is not convenient, the rail mills being in close proximity to the Bessemer plants.
 The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad has placed its order for 10000 tons of which 10000 tons goes to the Colorado mill and 10000 tons to the Steel corporation. The latter tonnage is to be open hearth steel.
 It is understood that other rail or ders of magnitude are pending
 Pig Iron makers report a good many inquiries for quotations but many of them are supposed to be mainly from customers who want to get basis for figuring inventories another buying movement Is under way among the basis open hearth steel makers of east ern Pennsylvania. Transactions aggre- gating ,0O0 tons have been made and inquiries footing up to about 30,000 tons are at hand, nearly all for the second quarter.
 The closing contracts for structural material Is proceeding slowly The only large order placed is for 5000 tons for the Denver viaduct Competi- ton among fabricators and mill shops Is large. A larger percentage of the plate capacity Is operating now than for time time.
 A number of the large steel bar plants are running very close to 90 per cent of capacity. The steel corpora tion has STA per cent of its pig iron capacity at work, while it's mills are operating at a rate estimated at 5S to so per cent
 So.ne good business Is coming up for the cast iron pipe makers on the Pacific coast, otherwise work Is not brisk. The only large order of late was for 7500 tons for New York. Re ports from Germany say a large re- duction followed the disruption of the pig iron syndicate. Since then the mar ket has stiffened.

LARGE ORDERS FOR RAILS

Cleveland, O., December 16.-(Spe- cial)-The Iron Trade Review tomor- row will say: Eastern furnace inter- ests have purchased large tonnage of foreign ore for 1909 delivery. Most of this ore will come from Spain, but some will be shipped from Nova Scotia. The purchases amount to about 500 OO0 tons of foreign ore and there has been also considerable trading in local ores in the east, consumers fig uring that they can get foreign and local ores at somewhat lower prices than Lake Superior ores can be de- livered.
 Sales of pig iron have been very moderate including 15.000 tons of basic for the Philadelphia district. An in- quiry for 5000 tons has been sent out by the American Car and Foundry company at St. Louis for the Detroit plant. The first important order for steel rails to be recorded is that of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy for 10000 tons, of which 30.000 will be rolled by the Steel corporation and 10,- 900 by the Colorado Fuel and Iron com  pany. The buying of track fastenings continues at heavy rate and the az gregate since November 15 Is fully 300,OO0 kegs. The New York Central is understood to be figuring on 5000 cars, the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio ordered 2250 steel gondolas from the Pressed Steel Car company, and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie has con- tracted for 500 steel hoppers from the Standard Steel Car company and five locomotives from the American Loco- motive company.
 Contracts for structural materials have not been numerous the principal awards being the Denver Viaduct, 4000 tons; Kansas City viaduct TOO tons and the Henry building, Seattle, 1000 tons. One contract for 7500 tons of cast iron pipe for Amsterdam, N. Y, has been taken by the leading interests.

ALAMEDA
IN GALE

In five days, nineteen hours and for
ty-seven minutes the Oceanic S. S. Ala
media came down from San Francisco,
arriving early this morning with mail
three days later than that brought by
the S. S. Hilonian and a number OF
home-returning passengers and tour
lists.
On Tuesday she met the transport
Buford bound northeast and on Mon
day she sighted a steamer bound for
the coast.
Going up to the coast from Honolulu
on the last trip the Alameda had a
hard experience. Says the San Fran
cisco Examiner of April 9:
For six hours on Tuesday, when
she should have been lying peacefully
at the dock, the Oceanic liner AIame-
da was far off this coast hove to in a
northwest gale. The steamer got into
port early yesterday morning, six
days and ten hours from Honolulu. All
the way, says Captain Dowdell, there
were terrific head seas and northerly
gales, increasing ~ severity as the
coast was approached. The Alameda S
bow was almost constantly submerged
by fOaming seas, and the flying salt
spray coated the funnel.
Among the passengers was George
Chalmers, manager of the Waimanalo
plantation, who possesses a silver SER
vice given by passengers of the steam
er Manchuria in appreciation of his
hospitality at the time the big steamer
was stranded on a reef near his home.
Other passengers were A. M. Clay, OF

been enacted long ago. Mr.. Tawney
called particular attention to the fact
that the Navy Department had for ten
years delayed submitting to Congress
any official estimates for a naval base at
Pearl Harbor, and that of all the items
In the bill, only the single one of the
dry dock had been estimated for this
year. so that the work is really being
undertaken on the initiative of Con
gress itself and in advance of the de-
partmental estimates.
The action of Mr.. Bates in sending
copy of the bill and report with a
personal letter to every member of
Congress had enabled each member to
be informed on the subject.
During the debate large map that
| had previously had made, showing
Hawaii as the Key to the Pacific. was
displayed in front of the Speakers desk
and it was surrounded with interested
members throughout the discussion.
In accordance with Chairman Hale's
wish, the bill will probably be added TO
the Naval Appropriation bill in the
Senate
The land lease bill was made law by
the signature of the President on
Thursday last
On Friday we were given a hearing
before the Subcommittee on light
houses, in which we urged a new first
order light for the northern coast OF
Kauai, an additional $4,000 for the
Honolulu range light, and provision for
lighthouse depot in Honolulu
We shall probably have a hearing
before the Committee on Public build
ings later this week

EDITOR STAR:-Speaker Cannon
gave recognition to the Pearl Harbor
bill today, under suspension of the rules
and the House passed the measure by
well-nigh unanimous vote. As the
leading members of the Senate Com
Imittee on Naval Affairs are already
favorably committed to the bll. its
passage by the House practically as
sures its enactment into law
AS stated in my previous letter, ad-
lvances were made toward securing a
special rule for the Pearl Harbor bill.
Owing to the fact that the Commit
tee on Rules are having to bring in a
number of special rules at this time to
block the Democrats in their filibuster,
Speaker Cannon preferred that the bill
be gotten through if possible without
the necessity of special rule.
Mr.. Bates re-drafted the bill to meet
the suggestions of the Speaker, Mr.
Ilawney and other House leaders. and
the amended measure was approved by
the Committee on Naval Affairs.
The measure, as passed, authorizes
the Secretary of the Navy to contract
at once for the complete craving deck,
at cost of 100000 and for building
and yard development to the amount of
half a million dollars; it also provides
100000 fer beginning the channel i'm
iDrOVement making q total Of 60 70O O0O
Under suspension of the rule only
twenty minutes of debate is per-
mitted to each side. The striking fea-
Iture of this debate was that every
speech on both sides of the House was
favorable to the bill. The only cri-
ticism offered was that the bill should
not have carried an even large total,
and that the legislation should have
