Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 2O.-Coach
Kennedy believes the Nebraska game

knowing that the Cornhuskers would
have a scout at Manhattan, as the
case proved, many of the Lawrence

pertoire.
The next game of the Jayhawker

sity of st. Louis. In this game the
Kansas mentors expect to try out such
members of the squad who have so
far had little if any chance to per-
form. Pete" He'll is doped to play
quarter next Saturday and that will
give johnson a well earned rest. The
coaches seem to be giving the Wash
ingtonians more serious consideration
the past few days especially since
Washington defeated James Millikin
last Saturday by the score of 10 to 0.
Kansas played Washington one
twentyminute half last year and won,
10 to 0. The game was not played in
full on account of the weather.

IT MADE HIM CRAZY.
Swedish Scientist Suspected of Com
plicity in a Murder.

London. Oct 2c.-Prof. Martin Ecken-
burg, the Swedish scientist, who became
temporarily insane when suspicious of
completely in the recent bomb outrages in
sweden fell upon him, was removed from
the asylum today to the Bow street court.
where he was arraigned on the charge of
attempted murder in Sweden.
Eckenburg appeared to have recovered
complete possession of his mental facul-
ties According to the detective who made
the arrest, the prisoner on being taken
into custody, said 1.-The evidence against
me is circumstantial only, and is based
upon the fact that happened to be in
Sweden at the time that the crimes were
committed"
The court ordered that Eckenburg be
held for further examination and he was
removed to Brixton jail.
Eckenburg is resident of this city, but
was in Sweden on October 9, when Ion
Hammer, director of the Swedish Export
association at Stockholm, was injured by
a bomb received in his mail and when a
similar attempt was made upon the life
of John Sjoeholm, manufacturer of
Gothenburg, who was reputed to be I'M
friendly to the society of the young
socialists.
Upon his return to this country .Ecken-
burg became the object of suspicion and
knowledge of the fact so distressed him
that he broke down mentally last Friday
and was removed to an asylum.

JOHNSON WOULD SHOW OFF.
Champion Offers to Meet Anyone in
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Oct. 20.-Promoter T. j.
McCarey has received word from Jack
Johnson that the big negro, conqueror
of Burns, Kaufman and Ketchel, wants
to box in this city before he goes east.
After naming financial terms that are
both reasonable and satisfactory Jonn-
son says: 1T would like to show before
my Los Angeles friends now that am
a champion. I will come south in Eiy
car Immediately If you can give me a
date inside of the next ten days or Two
weeks. I will meet any man In the
wide world that you may select. This
certainly gives you large enough Held
to pick from"
The almost hopeless condition of the
heavy weight division was brought
straight home to McCarey when he
tried to figure on a possible opponent
for johnson. McCarey's only hope of
parading Johnson's prowess in Los An
geles is to get the champion to agree
to stop two big men inside of five
rounds each. Jim F'lynn's popularity
with the Los Angeles fight fans appears
to be as great as it ever was. Flynn
believes that his battle with Jack
Burns is as good as won and he is
asking McCarey to match him with
Ketchel or Johnson.
McCarey thinks we'll Of a Flynn
Ketchel match, as he believes that Jim
stands a good chance of whipping the
middle weight champion. Should Flynn
come out a winner over Jack Burns an
effort will be made to land Ketchel.

NO GAME WITH PARAMOUNT.
Washburn and Others Enough for the
SOOnerS. e'-

Norman, Okla, Oct. 20.-The foot
ball team of the University of Okla
homa will have a two weeks rest be-
cause of the failure to arrange for a
game with Paramount college of
Wichita. The next game will be with
the University of Arkansas on October
80, at Fayetteville. The Sooners were
victorious last year over the Razor
backs by the score of 81 to 5.
Arkansas has a better team this
year than last and it is little doubt
full if the same thing is true Of Okla
homa.
Next month the big contests of the
Sooners take place and it is then
that the real stability of the team will
be tested. Starting with the Univer-
sity of Arkansas two days before
November, the Sooners meet Wash
burn, Texas, st. Louis and Epworth
universities. Only the Washburn
game will be played in Norman. The
Thanksgiving game will take place at
Oklahoma City. The stars of the Ok

christ, half back on the Tigers last
year, but who has been playing with
the Rolla Miners, this season, will
again be seen in a Tiger uniform on
Rollins field before the end of the sea-
son.
Gilchrist played his last game on
the Rolla team, in all probability,
when he opposed his former team
mates, last Saturday. He has received
an appointment to Annapolis and will
return to Missouri for the rest of the
semester, to prepare for the entrance
examinations. AS the Rolla School of
Minis is department of the univer-
sity, there is little question but that
the former Tiger, will be eligible to
join the varsity. DR.. Hetherington, in
speaking of Gilchrist's eligibility, said.
81 can not say off hand that he will
be allowed to play, but the athletic
board will take up his case" DR..
Monilaw and Coach Lowman are of
the opinion that there is nothing to
prevent Gilchrist from becoming a
member of the squad.

CUT UP WHILE ALIVE.
That Is Belief of Police in Case of
Amelia st. Jean.

Fall River. Mass Oct. 20.-Inspec-
tor Medley has intimated his belief
that Acknowledgement of the body of
Amelia st. Jean was begun while the
girl was still alive, but in faint from
which the drug administered had fall
ed to revive her.
The inspector also claims to- have
evidence that Prof. Hill himself took
the body away and scattered the parts
along the roadside, where they were
found. The head, he believes was
buried by Hill.
The report from Prof. w. F. Whit
ney, the Harvard medical school ex-
pert, with reference to his examina-
ton and tests of the stomach of Miss
st. Jean, it is said, shows the girl died
shortly after having partaken of a
meal.
The report also shows THAI some
drug had been administered, appar-
emily to restore consciousness during
a period of insensibility.

was running interference. Mcknight
managed to get an open chance to
tackle Nipps, and in making the at
tempt, his leg flew round striking
Sears just above the ankle bone.
Sears was picked up and taken to
Christ's hospital. His injuries are
painful but not serious. His absence
from the team will leave hole which
will be hard to fill with any of the
material on the present squad. Robb
was injured in the Denver game and
will not be able to play for two weeks
at least, and Sears was the only avail
able successor.

Big SADDLE FOR TAFT.
San Antonio Presented Him With the
Largest on Record.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct 20.-Texas
had already put lid and a pair of
trousers on President Taft, and when
he arrived at the Taft ranch he was
saddled and bridled. If this does not
make a permanent Texan of him the
citizens of this state are wondering
why. AS the trousers were the largest
ever made from the largest goat with
the longest hair, and as the hat was
the largest ever manufactured, as well
as the most costly with the gold and
silver coming from the richest and
largest mines in Mexico, just so is the
saddle the biggest ever placed on the
back of Texas horse.
In his day Gov. Hogg required a
large saddle, but the one he rode
does not compare with the one just
finished for Taft. The saddle COM
plete will weigh $50 pounds, and the
inside measurements will be "a
inches. Four of the biggest and best
horses on the ranch have been re-
served for President Taft's use. The
bride, also a present, is made OF
horse hair and trimmed with silver
and gold The city of San Antonio
gave the president pair of silver
spurs The whole rig will be used in
wildcat and wolf hunting on the Taft
| ranches

dixie HEARING CONTINUED
Commissioners Will Decide Matter on
October Fl.

The board of county commissioners
have decided that they would
continue the hearing of the dixie pro-
position until October 81. before they
made any final decision. The South
side drainage district is a knotty pro-
bIern to the commissioners ard although
they concur in the opinion that the
dixie as proposed is of incalculable ben
eft, they are going slow in exercising
their power invested in them by the
statutes by accepting the report of the
viewers as thoroughly equitable basis
for operations.
In the interests of good roads. which
is another great problem confronting
the ever anxious commissioners, they
have gone to Manhattan to con-
fer with the authorities there connect

who have promised any assistance with

letter is as follows:
ITO the President:
1.-THE full text of your address at WI
mona, Mimi, on the tariff bill has just
come to hand. With the utmost respect
We submit that your statement respect
ing the paper schedule shows that you
could not have correctly read or under
stood what the print paper paragraph
contained as 1t passed the house of rep
resentatives.
You were apparently misled by de-
signing men into serious blunder
when. in the closing days the tariff
conference they induced you to reverse
your previous attitude upon print pa
per. and changed your notions Of Tha.

of what the house Of representatives
had approved.

ference in cost of production at home
and abroad. The draft proposed abso-
lutely safeguarded American paper
mills against the serious Canadian
tangle which your advice to the tariff
conference has since participated.
1.-THE fixing of the rate on print paper
at 1915 per ton, which you advised, has
decided the province of Quebec to pro-
hibit the expectation of it's pulp wood
and many American paper mills must
close or move to Canada to obtain
their supplies of raw material
1.-THE country is now in fair way for
a trade war with Canada, because of
your apparent failure to correctly read
the Mann committee recommendations.
We are threatened with an industrial
disturbance which will involve bust
ness interchanges with Canada amount
ing to $2S5, 600, 900 per annum.
I'VE sincerely trust that you can find
some method of rectifying the mistake
into which you were led. We fully ap-

believe you are trying to do the best
you can. We know you must rely upon
others for your Information. We feel
that every citizen is under obligation to

found in a corn field several miles
east of Lawrence yesterday by Sgd
ney Perkins. AS soon as Mr.. Per-
kins found the knife he turned it over
