Judge Lurton is 65 years old,

A council of war was held in
Washington the past week be-
tween President Taft, his broth
er and other political leaders of
Ohio. In this meeting, SO it is
reported, plans were laid to de-
feat Judson Harmon, the demo-
cratic governor of Mr.. Taft's
state, at the fall election Of 1910.
Things now point to the nomina-
ton Of Governor Harmon as the
presidential candidate of the
democrats in 1912, and President
Taft will endeavor to weaken the
governor by defeat at the next
election. Mr.. Harmon would
prove a dangerous adversary to
Mr.. Taft in his own state.

The Kicker.


There is only one thing that
can be said in favor of the
constitutional kicker, and that is
they are the moral thermometers
Of the community in which they
live. When hitched to a load
the kicking mule never kicks I'M
til the others try to start the
load; just so with the constitut-
ional kicker. When he begins to
kick you may know that some
body else is doing something.

The pistol duels at South Field. Column
bia University, yesterday afternoon, we're
from the number Of theoretically killed and
wounded left on the field, more than an
ordinary success. After the regularly
scheduled contest about thirty students
who had not taken part in the meet took
the .44-calibre dueling pistols and shot wax
bullets at each other until darkness. They
made up round robin competition, each
man shooting at every other man, and J.
a. Baker, 10. captain of the university
rife team. finished with q dozen killed
to his credit. The next best was A. G.
Hanke, 10, who shot down six Of his
opponents, The others made occasional
shots. but they were few and far between.
J. B. Northrup, IL. in the regular compe-
tition, killed each of his five opponents
and won the medal for the best shot. The
sabre competition had only a few entries
and was won by ". H. Grassi. II. With
duelling swords J. H. Miller finally won
after a fierce bout with II. C. Fursten-
Wade. u. when the score was a tie
The three winners then met in a final
final survivor of the afternoon. Northrup
was killed off in the sabre contest by
Grassi. but ne won the duelling swords
and pistol contests. Grassi put Miller down
with q we'll directed sabre blow and then
iiUed him a second time with a wax

to win by safe margin. Herman Olcott

back New York has had in years. YuIe

fering from a bad cold. but will start in
the game to-day, it Is thought
Mr.. OlcOtt is somewhat worried about the
end positions. Both Captain Wheeler and
Crawford, the first string men. are suffer-
ing with leg and knee trouble. In case
thew are not able to play the full game
New York has tVc reliable substitutes in
W. E1liffe and Jefferds. Davis OF Stone

taken along as substitute. and will get into

Leo Nardus, the artist, is the most prom
inent-
II is not stated that these games are for
the championship; in fact, the likelihood is
they will be more Of an exhibition nature.
In any case, thew will afford Or. Lasker
excellent practice for his forthcoming
championship match with Carl Schlechter.
Of Vienna. A shorter series between the
champion and NJ JanowsH earlier in the
year resulted in an equal score.

Ithaca, n. Y, Oct. 22.-The Cornell foot
ball practice was in secret to-day, as the
coaches tried out the full repertory of
plays which will be used against Vermont
tomorrow. The team was sent through
signals for an hour and coached in kicking
off, receiving the kick and in forming in
reference. All of the men are in good con-
6ition with the exception Of Wood and
Smith. Neither will play in the game to-
morrow unless unforeseen circumstances
arise. Baker will probably start the game
at quarter, but will not play the whole
game. Owen has shown that he IS still
contestant for Bakers position. and has
been handling the team we'll during the
last week
Seagrave will be in at centre. Donnan
and O'Connor guards. Stude and Weeks
man and Krutsch are slated for the half
back positions, and SimsOn will be at full
back. The fight for the wing positions Is
hot, and in all probability there will be
several substituIions both at tackle and
end. Harrington and Monk Will certainly
get a chance. and O'ROurke will play for
time, in all probability. HurlbUTt and Mac
Arthur are not on the list to begin the
game. but they and Uhl. Stevenson. Leven-
try and sutton will have try-out.
There is not tine Overconfidence which
was shown last Friday. but the spirit Of
the men is much better. and they are de-
termined to make a better showing than
against Fordham.
