Audubon Defeated | to 0 at Denison
Last Saturday

The High School boys went over to
Denison last Saturday and were defeated
II to in fine and interesting game of
foot ball. The DenisOn team played an
open style of game in which formations
and forward passing figured to large
extent, and it took about five minutes
for the boys to become accustomed to
this kind of an offense 1t was during
these first five minutes that Denson's
two tOuChdOwns were made, one on a
blocked kick, and the other or a forward
pass and end run. After that fine eX-
hibitiOn of good foot ball was given by
both teams and neither side succeeded
in scoring. Audubon had two chances
to score, once on a long pass and once
on returned punt, but failed to recover
the ball when there was chance to do
50.
Next Saturday the boys go to Carroll.
The Carroll team is anxious to make up
for the defeat they met here and promise
a good game.
The Audubon lineup at Denison was
as follows:
Fullback-James Law Captain
Right Halfback-Chas. Stanley.
Left Halfback-Gibson Law.
Right end-SimOn Foley.
Right tackle-George Laubender

RUMORED NUMBER OF SUGAR
WEIGHERS ARE IN JURY NET

New York, Nov 17.-Although no
official confirmation could be had TO-
day, either from customs officials or
from U. S. District Attorney Wise, the
report is persistent indictments have
been found against a number of gov
eTnment weighers alleged to be con-
nected with the weighing frauds of the
American Sugar Refining company.
The belief is becoming general that 4
congressional investigation of the New
York custom house will be ordered.
New Figure Introduced
New York, Nov. IA new figure
was introduced last night into the con-
troversy surrounding the investigation
of frauds charged to the American
Sugar Refining company, when Edwin
1. Anderson, a former superintendent
of docks for the company and close
personal friend of the late Theodore
o. Havemeyer, announced through his
attorneys that he is the man referred
to by James B. Reynolds, former assist
ant secretary of the treasury, as the
one who gave the department the first
specific information concerning the
frauds.
Anderson has filed claims with the
customs authorities for compensation,
which he estimates will reach $1,000
000 For the past two years, he says,
he has been engaged in furnishing evi-
dence to the government, and it was
through him, he asserts, that Richard
Parr. who now figures so prominently
in the case, gained his information.
Knew Too Much
Reviewing the case, both by means Of
aff1davits which were made several
months ago, and by verbal statements,
Anderson says that the American
Sugar Refining company requested his
resignation after Mr.. Havemeyer's
death in 1903, on the theory that che
knew too much" He had then been
in the company's employ for 30 years.
At that time, he says, he had no posi-
tive knowledge that frauds were being
committed, but he suspected it, and
as a result of Investigations which he
then undertook, he came into posses
sion of what he calls positive proof
that the government was being de-
frauded of at least 100000 a year at
the single refinery where he had been
employed
Says Pay Was Promised.
When he laid his evidence before the
authorities at Washington, Anderson
continued, the matter was at once
taken up. He made several trips to
Washington, meeting Colonel Gerry,
chief of the customs department of the

NEGROES DEMAND that GOVERNOR
REMOVE SHERIFF DAVIS AT CAIRO

Chicago. Nov. H.-Demand that Gov
ernor Deneen remove from office
Sheriff Davis at Cairo because of tho
lynching of Will James, the alleged
murderer of Anna Pelley, was made
last night at a meeting in the Insti-
tutional church, 1926 Dearborn street
Speakers also denounced the clergy
of Cairo because of the sermons de-
livered Sunday, in which the lynching
was upheld.
The request that Sherin Davis be re
moved was voiced in resolutions which
were adopted unanimously, w. G. An
derson, negro attorney, having de-
clared there was on the books a stat
ute which makes mandatory the re-
moval of a sheriff after lynching.

Resolved. That we call upon our
public officials to use the militia be-
fore, rather than after, lynchings; and
we demand the impeachment of Off
cials guilty of criminal neglect of duty
who rely upon lynchings to clarity
the atmosphere"
Resolved, That the statute directing
the governor to remove a sheriff who
permits a prisoner to be taken from
him and lynched is a wholesome in
centive to effective service which
should be vigorously enforced, and we
call upon Governor Deneen to do his
plain duty under the law.

lutions. Rev. A. J. Carey, as chairman
