COLUMBIA TO GET FUNDS.
Ten Thousand Dollars i'm Trust for
Football Reverts.

New York, Dec. 10.-Probably the last
echo of Columbia university's football
days comes in the announcement that a
trust fund of $4,000 which was put by
when football was abolished, five years
ago, has reverted to the university trus-
tees. The actual adjustment Of foot
ball at Columbia took place on January
1, 1906. On that date, $4,000, the bal
ance remaining in the football associa-
TONS treasury, was placed in the hands
of committee which was directed to
keep the amount invested and apply the
income annually to Columbia athletic
sports.
The trust was not to continue longer
than the first day of January, 1911, in
case football was not restored, and the
trustees were directed by the associa-
ton to pay the fund over to the trus-
tees of the college, who are bound to
devote the income to athletics.
Football not having been resumed, the
university will now receive the prtnci-
pal of the fund. 1t is directed that
if at any time in the continuance OF the
trust the track team and the UNIVERSE
ty crew should cease to take part in
collegiate sports, then the whole
of said interest shall be paid annually
for the general uses of Columbia uni
versity."
The fund is invested to yield an an
nual income of $40.

HAVE BLACKHAND CLEW.
Chicago Police and Army of Detectives
Are at Work.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-The Chicago po-
lice believe they have a clew pointing
directly to perpetrators of Black
hand" bomb outrages here, and an
army of detectives working under
Captain Halpin of the Twenty-second
street station, and Inspector Wheeler
is running down the b1ackmailers.
The investigation is expected to
eliminate early next week in a series
of arrests that will show that the ter
rorizing of peaceful Italians has been
carried on by a definite organization
of criminals constituting the American
branch of a Sicilian secret society.
The detectives were detailed yester-
day as a result of disclosures which
grew out of the attempted dynamiting
of Modestino Mastrogioyanno's bank
at 108 West Twelfth street. Tuesday

LIBERALS GAIN THREE.
Tally of Coalition and Unionists Sue.
cesseS Is Even.

London, Dec. 10.-A Liberal gain of
three seats from the Unionists on the
returns announced today once more
equalized the tally, the Coalitionists
and the Unionists each having cap
tured 81 seats from the other. The
Liberal gain in the Cockermouth divi-
sion of Cumberland where Sir Will
fred Lawson won with majority of
511 over his successful opponent of
last January, Sir ]. S. Randles was not
unexpected. However, the Unionists
had not contemplated such an early
loss of the Saffron Walker division
of Essex and the lowest of division
of Suffolk from which constituencies
they had turned out the Liberals in the
preceding elections.
Premier Asquith comes back to the
house of commons from the east d.
vision of Fife with majority ESQ less
than he received before, while Col.
Sprot, his Unionist opponent increased
his vote by 247.
The total of seats thus far secured
in the new parliament are: Coalition
lists, 267; Unionists, 224.
The Coalition aggregate is made
up thus: Liberals, 175; Nationlists, 81;
O'Brienites, z; labor members 81.

HITS SEATTLE POLICE.
Supreme Court Sets Aside Conviction
That Started Agitation.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 10@The state
supreme court has set aside the convic-
ton in the King county superior court
of Peter Miller, a highly educated man,
who was tried for burglary year ago
and whose sensational allegations OF
police brutality started the agitation
against the police department which
has never subsidized.
Miller, who conducted his own de-
Tense, refused to give his true name,
but denied that he had criminal rec
ord. HIS conviction was obtained. he
alleged, by the use of confessions by
himself and an alleged accomplish
made to escape torture.
The court sustains the allegations OF
Miller that Jail officers, police, detec-
lives and prosecuting attorney by
abuse and threats had invaded his
rights.

Contest Will LAST
THIRTY DAYS ONLY
Farmers Of Forrest County Who In
tend to Compete Requested to Reg
lister With Commercial Club During
Month Of March.

To further encourage the diversifl-
cation of crops, and corn culture par
ticularly, the Hattiesburg Commercial
Club has announced that it will award
substantial prizes to farmers in this
county for the best yield per half
acre of corn produced during the
coming season, and those who desire
to compete are requested to register
their names with the president of the
club before the end of March, as the
contest will close on April l.; -
The prizes which will be offered by
the Commercial Club will be worth
working for. and It is hoped that at
least one hundred farmers will enter
the contest. The FIRST prize. win be
for $500 for the best yield 81 corn
per half acre, and there will be-sever
al others for. second, third, fourth
and fifth best yields, the prizes being
graduated from $500 downward
This means that the man who produc
es the greatest amount of corn from
one-half acre of ground will receive
$500. and others will be rewarded
according to the production, on a
graduated scale.

Object of Offer.

These prizes are offered by the
Commercial Club for the sole purpose
of encouraging the farmers and in
ducing them to get the highest possi-
BILE yield from the ground cultivated,
and to more thoroughly and convinc-
ingly demonstrate to the world the
value of cut-over lands for farming
purposes. 1t is figured that if more
grain is cultivated and the adaptable
ty of the soil for this puprose proven,
hog and stock raising would necessa.
rily follow, consequence much to be
desired, considering the fact that but
few farmers in this county have here.
tofore produced sufficient meat for
their own consumption, while the city
resident is compelled to depend upon
the cold storage stuff for his sup
ply.
