OFFERS CHEAP ELECTRICITY.
The Gary Heat. Light and Water Co.
manufactures its gas from coal in the
same manner as the resident companv-
butfts electricity is the product of pro-
ducing gas engines, which utilize the
bi-product gas from the blast furnaces
at Gary and South Chicago. and is ex-
cepuonally cheap for that reason.
AT the present time the city of Gary
Is lighted by electricity, which is sent
over high tension wires from South
Chicago As soon as the plant of the
Indiana Steel company is fully devel-
oped, there viii be ample power pro-
duced there for the lighting of the city
of Gary and for sale to the light indus
tries of the city.
This will make it necessary for the
Illinois steel company to provide an
outlet for the electricity that is now
being sent to Gary. The officials Of
the Gary Heat. Light and Power co.
are looking TO Hammond. East Chica-

POLICE CALLED INTO
PENN-|hD|AN GAME
Umpire Edwards Attacked by
Waseuka, and General
Rumpus Follows.

PHILADELPHIA, October 30.-The Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania administered a
severe defeat to the Indians this after
noon I'm one of the most bitterly fought
games ever played on Franklin Field, the
score being - to q. For the first time I'm
the history of that famous athletic field
an official was physically attacked by a
player and a policeman was called upon
to escort the offending man and the coach
of the Carlisle team behind the lines.
The trouble occurred i'm the middle of
the first half. Waseuka was ordered out
Of the game on the ground that he had
roughly tackled a Pennsylvania man who
was out of bounds. Enraged at Umpire
Edwards action Waseuka attacked the
official and struck him a hard blow on
the jaw. Other players quickly stopped
further hostiIities.
Left Tackle Fretz of Pennsylvania then
came to Edwards assistance, and his re-
marks and actions were such as to cause
the officials to order him from the game.
About this time Coach Warner came rum
ming on the field. There was an argu-
ment and then Edwards summoned a
policeman and had both WaSeuka and
Warner escorted behind the lines. In the
argument, il was asserted by Pennsyl-
vania authorities, Warner declared that
Okeson Of Lehigh was not fair to the
Indians. When this was brought to
Warmers attention he said he did not
charge Okeson with giving the other side
the game. but said that he told Okeson
that he had given Pennsylvania a touch
down she had not earned. Warner also
said that he told Okescn he was doing
all he could for Pennsylvania. Later IN
the same half an Indian who is said to
have been a former player was removed
from the side lines by Edwards for al
legged offensive remarks.
Pennsylvania game was by far the
best that il has played this season. The
bright star of the contest was Miller.
the Pennsylvania captain. Ii was his
splendid end running that carried the ball
half the length the field twice, both
times for touchdowns.
Ramsdell, who succeeded Scott later in
the game at fullback. also got into the
limelight with 55-yard run for a touch
down. Pennsylvania other two scores
were made possible by clever Onside
kicking and a forward pass. the ball
being recovered both times by Pennsyl-
vania within scoring distance.
The Indians only score followed almost
Immediately the fight, which sent two
players from the field. Starting from
their 3O-yard line, Capt. Libby made a
forward pass to Newashe. The Indian
took the ball behind good interference
and sprinted the entire distance for q
touchdown.

NAVY GIVES TIGERS
A BATTLE ROYAL
Princeton Victorious Over
Middies by Small Score
of 5 to 3.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ANNAPOLIS. Nd. October 3o.-Al-
though defeated by a score of to 3 in
the game with Princeton here this after
noon. Navy came out of the struggle with
more confidence from her rooters and
her foot ball stock for the struggle with
Army much closer to par Although Sc
riously handicapped and weakened in the
line by the absence of Capt. Meyer and
Reinicke, the regular guards, and Reif-
snider and Cobb ends, the sailors time
after time held the heavy Princeton back
field when the Tigers had invaded the
Blue and Gold 10-yard limits. Their safe
playing in midfield coupled with Dalton's
superb punting kept the leather within
Tiger territory during the first half and
for most OF the second period.
Navy tailed first. With a whirlwind
attack and speed that carried their Wis
itors off their feet. the Admirals. follow
ing rapid exchange of punts after the
kickoff, worked down to the Tigers D.
yard line, where Princeton held and
forced a kick. Dalton got away a beau
tiful placement goal that started the
figuring with three points on Navys side
of the board. Byrd, who played a good
game at quarter. aside from his fumbling
of punts. let one of Reads booted ones
get away from him. and Princeton re-
covered 1t for a march down to the Blue
and Gold J-yard line, where stonewall
defense was put up and the ball changed
hands. Dalton's one poor punt only sent
the leather out of bounds at the 35-yard
mark. Hart. Read and Garrett beat down
i'm good gains all resistance until Read
was showed through the mass for a touch
down, to which Ballen failed to add
goal.
A gloom was cast over the gay scene,
however, when it became known that the
West PointHarvard game had been
called on account of the serious injury
to Byrne OF the Army team, which is so
much like the injury to Wilson, the Ad-
miral quarterback, who is lying at the
point of death with a broken vertebra
in his neck. The Midshipmen at once
sent telegram of sympathy to the corps
of cadets at West Point. On all sides
were heard expressions of regret, and
newspaper and telegraph men were be-
sieged with inquiries for the latest re-
ports from Byrne's bedside. The feeling
prevails in Annapolis that should Byrne's
injuries result fatally. as Wilson's are
expected to do. the two fatalities at gov
eminent institutions would probably re-
suit seriously for their sport at West
Point and Annapolis.

by Michigan on Ferry Field. this after

TUBERCULOSIS
IS DECREASING
FEDERAL STATISTICS OF VITAL
RECORDS SAYS DEATH RATE
Is FALLING OFF.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The great fight
against tuberculosis is being won &C.
cording to Chief Statistician Cressy L
Wilbur of the division of vital statistics
census bureau. In q bulletin issued
yesterday, based upon the annual reg
istration area of the United States, he
says:
"It is probable that the great at
tention that has been given to this
disease already has begun to have
its effect upon the mortality, and a
continued decline in the death rate
from year to year may be expected
"A disease of increasing import
ance," adds Mr.. Wilbur, according
to the returns, is pellagra, for which
twenty three deaths were returned In
1908, but as most of the deaths from
this occur in the south, from which
no records are received, this figure does
not represent the mortality from this
cause"
The total number Of deaths from
all forms of tuberculosis returned in
1908 was 1929, exceeding those OF
any previous year of registration, but
the death rate per 100000 for 1908 was
considerably less than that for 1907
In all registration states the death rate
from tuberculosis showed a decline
except in Colorado. Rhode Island and
Vermont.
The number of deaths from al
forms Of pneumonia returned for 1905
was 61,259, a decrease of over 5000
from the number of 1907, 1880, de-
spite the increase in the registration
area. The death rate from pneumonia
was lower for 1908 than for any other
of the past five years
Each of the following causes OF
death was responsible for at least
5000 deaths of male breadwinners
during the year: Typhoid fever, tu-
berculosis of lungs, cancer. apoplexy
and paralysis, heart disease, pneu-
monia' Bright's disease. suicide, ac-
cident The total number Of deaths
OF occupied persons from these causes
was: For males. 13s.25s; for females
17,434.

NORTH DAKOTA PROFITS BY
THE DRY FARMING CONGRESS
Commissioner Of Agriculture Geah Tells Of the Impression
Of the North Dakota Delegation at the
Billings Convention

Bismarck, N. D., NOV. 1.-The fact
that North Dakota had thirty rep
resentatives in attendance at the ses-
sion of the fourth Dry Farming con-
gress held at Billings, Mont, last
week, is a source of qualification to
those who were interested in the prog
ress and development of this state.
II is useless to appoint men as
delegates to these important conven-
lions who won't or cannot attend.
Many individuals promise to be pres
ent prior to the meetings, but fail to
materalize when it convenes.
Probably no farming congress has
been held in the west which had a
larger and more enthusiastic class Of
men present, or who were so deeply
interested in the subject of farming
as were those assembled at Billings
last week. Three continents were
represented. not merely in name, but
