MICHIGAN 11-sYRAcUsE o.

Syracuse, Oct. 29.-"Hurry up
Yost's Wolverines failed to show any
play out of the ordinary in winning
the annual Michigan-Syracuse football
contest at the Stadium this afternoon
by a score Of II to 0. The visitors
out-weighed the Orange and in game
that was remarkably like the style
of football that prevailed until the re-
formers became active in rule chang
es. Michigan scored two touchdowns,
both by Magidsohn, and one goal was
kicked. It was the heavy line backs
that won for Michigan. The gains,
except on punts, were short, but Mich
igan's steady ramming of the Syra.
cuse line shattered it badly. The
game was played on wet field and
$4,000 football enthusiasts shivered
throughout the battle.

FOR PERJURY THIS time,
GRAVE CHARGELODGEDA AGAINST
OLLIE McKAGEN.
He Will Have to Answer to q Felony,
Conviction Carrying Penalty of
Six Months and a Fine Of 500, and
From The Daily Item, May IT.

From The Daily Item, May IT.
AS an out come of the trial for
storing whiskey the other day, Ollie
H. McKagen. the defendant was ar
rested yesterday afternoon on a
charge of perjury preferred against
him by Chief Bradford. The warrant
was sworn out before Magistrate Har-
by who bound him over to court in
the sum of $500. Mr. Walter Hardy
went on his bond.
1t will be remembered that McKag-
en- swore that if w. d. Hatfield was
present that he would testify that
four quarts of the whiskev was his.
This was admitted, by the court, but
not believed. Yesterday afternoon
Hatfield published statement deny
ing that he ever ordered any whiskey
through McKagen, or that he would
testify that it was his, at the same
time making the charge that McKag-
en- had tried to get him to come into
court and swear that the booze was
his.
When Mayor Jennings heard of this
statement on the part of Hatfield,
which was made, to both the Chief
and another officer, he had an affi-
davit to that effect drawn up and had
Hatfield to take oath before a notary
public that the statement was true.
With that he had the warrant issued
for Ollie.
1t looks like Ollie is in serious
trouble this time. This Is not a mis-
demeanor that he is charged with this
time, but felony. If he is convict
ed he will surrender his citizenship
and will have to pay fine of 500
and serve six months at least on the
chaingang.
Mayor Jennings is determined 70
put stop to the illegal traffic in
whiskey He is also going to put
stop to this thing of swearing that
whiskey is brought in for personal
use when 1t is brought here for the
purpose of selling it, There is a sem
timent against this traffic and the
man who goes in the face of that sem
timent Is treading on dangerous
grounds.

LEWIS w. PARKER TESTIFIED.
Mill President Witness I'm Cotton
''POOP' Investigation.

Washington. May 14.--Lewis w
Parker, of Greenville, was witness
before the Senate committee on the
high cost of living. which today began
an investigation here into the opera
tion of the bulls" and "bears" on the
cotton markets of the country. Mr..
Parkers answers to the questions put
to him were clear and to the point.
He replied without equivocation to
the interroo0 0''~~~ propounded, and
gave the members of the committee
considerable light on the subject Of
how the cotton markets and ex-
changes of the United States are to-
day conducted. Most of the questions
asked him were put by Senator Smith.
the investigation now under way is
being held.
Mr. Parker was on the stand for
about two hours and covered in his
statements a very large number Of
subjects relating to the growing and
handling of cotton throughout the
country. An important point brought
out by him was the fact that some
time back he purchased a big lot of
cotton on the New York market,
amounting to about 5000 bales. When
he had needed the cotton and asked
for il the the question arose as to
what extent he would be protected
by insurance after the cotton had been
delivered to him, and before 1t could
be removed from the warehouse, for
once having had 1t rendered him the
insurance ceased.
He tried to find some way to pro-
tect his Interests. he said, and discov-
cred that it was the plan Of the ware
house men to keep every available
bale of cotton In their houses for the
reason that the New York market was
lower than those in the South, and
that every time a consignment Of cot
ton was removed from one Of these
places their owners had to go South
and buy at a higher rate, to replace
the stocks that had been thus remov-
ed. The price Of the staple has ac-
cordingly been raised. Other cotton
operators characterized as bulls" will
appear before the committee Monday.

In the course of conversation, that

Ing after handing down a unanimous
opinion refusing a new trial and gus-
tanning In every particular the Cir

Is also quoted as saying that If the
motion had been made before him
personally he would have asked the
attorneys to show him any section of
the Constitution which would give
them that right under the circum-
stances in the case under considera-
ton. One Of the Circuit Judges stat

spondent in discussing off-hand the
situations that until the law was
changed the Circuit Judges had no
alternative but to grant a stay of
sentence upon a proper showing be-
ing made. because they cannot go in
to the merits of the case. when a
man comes before you with affidavits
swearing to this or that" said this
Judge, there is nothing else for us to
do but, upon proper showing, espe-
cially when the hearing consumes a
half day perhaps, and there appears
to be something new in the afidavits,
grant stay until the matter can be
investigated further"
However there has been a general
opinion here among attorneys and
others that in the Jones case the pro-
ceeding was very unusual since the
Supreme Court has had final say in
the matter, itself refusing a petition
for rehearing before it,

TIMBER SUIT is FNDtD.
CASE is DISMISSED
Americas Go. Secures
Clear Title to Lands.

the demurrer of the defendants in the
case of Rollin ]. Nelson, of Chicago,
against the Americas Manufacturing
Company, Concerning timber rights to
about 10000 acres of land in south
Georgia and northern Florida, the
suit was dism ,ssed from the docket
of the United States court by Judge
Emory Speer yesterday.
The action was begun on the ground
that the firm of Camp Brothers still
owed Nelson money on the purchase
df the contracts. Camp Brothers
transferred the contracts to the Amer
icus Manufacturing Company. The
court yesterday held that if there was
any part of the contract between Mel
son and Camp Brothers remaining UNI
paid it could only be construed as a
debt existing between the two and not
to involve the property in ques-
ton.
