Keeps Up Good Work.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 18.-For the first
time since 1907, the University of Pennsyl-
vania foot ball team went dow to defeat
today, its conqueror being the sturdy
eleven of the University Of Michigan. The
final score was Michigan, u; Pennsyl-
vania 8, all the points being made in the
first half of the contest. 1t was Michi-
gan's fifth attempt to win a game from
it's worthy eastern opponent and the vic
tory was well deserved.
Michigan was a surprise to the support
.ers of Pennsylvania and other eastern fol-
lowers of the game, who came here to see
the east clash with the west. The western
men were superior in weight and other
respects to the eastern players and in
team work they moved with a precision
that showed careful! preparation and gen.
eralship. The same cannot be said OF Penn
sylvania. The home players, without de-
tracing from the visitors, put up a poor
exhibition of foot ball.
Michigan's superior weight told on Penn

Ing little trouble in piercing the Quaker
formation on all sides Of the line.
Pennsylvania made ten changes in the
lineup, while Michigan was compelled to
send in but one substitute.

lay hands on him.
Second Touchdown.
The second touchdown came soon after
and was earned by hard playing in which
the heavy Michigan non gave a great exhi-
bition OF how to carry the ball. Getting

plays directed against the line and ends,
carried it to Pennsylvania forty yard line.
Then Magidsohn was entrusted with the
ball, and on a fake formation he skirted the
Pennsylvania right md and with a clear
field, ran for the forty yards for the second
score.
From this point It looked like Michigan's
game, barring hukes and accidents, but

ball on MiehiEan's forty yards line, the

FINDING IN SUTTON CASE.
Board of Inquiry Attributes His
Death to Accidental Shooting.

By Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-The Ma
val court OF inquiry into the death
of Lieutenant Sutton of the marine
corps, found that the officer came to
his death either by accidental shoot
ing or by suicide, but just which it
was not able to determine.
The report was signed by Com
mander j. Hood, president of the
board, and Major Henry Leonard,
Judge Advocate. Commander Hood
also filed a minority report in which
he says he concurs in majority re-
ports and gives as his additional
opinion that Its. Utley, Adams, Os-
terman, Willing and Beyans show a
deplorable lack of knowledge of their
duties and Obligations as officers
holding commissions.
The court also decided that no pos
sible charge of criminality lies
against any participants in he fray
except Sutton himself and that SUIT
ton was directly and solely respon-
sible for his own death which was
self inflicted either Intentionally or
in an effort to shoot persons restrain
ing him. and his death was not
caused by any other injury whatever.

A gentleman and his eStimable wife
arrived in Kingsville last week
with the intention of becoming resi-
dents of these parts, and after look

the best they had seen. This gentle
man said he was told by knocker
in a neighbOring town that he would
not even be allowed to put a cistern
on his place here should he purchase.

make such statements in their knock

know that it will be proven untrue

A direct tax for the support of the
national government may be uncon-
stitutional, and yet reasonable Am
orleans would probably prefer to pay
directly their quota towards the ma
tons expense, than to have it taken
from them in the extra prices paid
by them on the many tariff burdened
articles which they must buy. We
all know that the national govern
ment must be maintained, and there
seems no good reason why the people
should not pay for it, just as they
paw taxes for the state, county and
city governments.
