cents to cut the grass about his home.
Returning few hours later, Mr.. 8. saw

In 1850.

From the New York Times.
The aeroplane football match that took
place yesterday between Harvard and
Yale was largely attended, the air round
the contesting teams being packed. The
goals, which consisted of gasbags con-
nected by chains, were kept at an equal
distance apart by the Aerospace company
with their magnetic controllers. The ball
itself, an arniored balloon, had ten
dency to get away and mount upward,
but didn't leave the players hands long
enough to get far.
Smith of Harvard won the toss and
sprinted the ball through a fog bank,
where 1t was received by Jones of Yale,
who had only just started to fly when
he was tackled by the Harvard halfback,
Robinson, and his wings torn off in a
jiffy. His wingholder was on hand, how
ever, and he was held up and new wings
adjusted before elapsed time.
A flying wedge was then formed by
Yale, but without effect, as it wasn't bal
anced properly and got the broad side
down before they could prevent it.
Black of Harvard grabbed the ball and
tapped through straight to goal. Score
for Harvard.
When the Harvard team parachuted
back to earth they were given tremen-
dous ovation.
The last seen of the Yale team they were
wandering around the sky too ashamed
of themselves to land.

HOW TO TELLWH
EGGS ARE FRESH

Washington, January 27-Tt is easily
possible to tell the difference between a
fresh egg and a cold-storage egg without
breaking the shell. and dealers in the
District of Columbia who sell stored eggs
for strictly fresh ones may be prosecuted
and convicted according to statements
made today by DR.. Harvey w Wiley, the
governments chief chemist, at the high
cost-of-living" hearing being conducted
by a House subcommittee.
DR.. Wiley brought with him a large
number of fresh eggs and also some of
the sold-storage variety. Dropping them
into a large vessel of water containing 10
per cent salt solution, the fresh eggs i'm
medately sank to the bottom and the re-
frigerated product fioated on the surface.
When asked how he knew the eggs were
fresh, DR.. Wiley replied that one of his
inspectors had watched the hens lay them
yesterday.

Eleven Men Are Named In Big
Conspiracy Case
IN MENSE SUM -INV0L WE'D
Men Are Accused of Conspiracy To De-
fraud City of Chicago In Con-
tract for Construction of
Tunnel.
IN MENSE SUM ..INVOL WE'D

Chicago, January 27-Paul Redieske,
who recently resigned as deputy com
missioner of public works; Michael H.
had many big city contracts. and nine
other men who are city officials or en-
ployes of McGovern were indicted by
the county grand jury today. charged
with a conspiracy to defraud the city
of $254,O0o
The indictment on this charge came
as a complete surprise, as 1t was be-
lieved that the alleged frauds involved
only about $4,000 in the so-called ''shale
rock" scandal
The men indicted, besides McGovern
and Redieske. are Max Landguth. former
superintendent for McGovern; George
Moore, a foreman for McGovern; Ralph
Bonnell, former assistant city engineer;
John C. Parks, assistant city engineer;
Robert Green, foreman for McGovern;
Richard Burke, John M. Nichols and Jo-
seph Maher, city inspectors in the en-
gineers department.
The indicted men are specifically ac-
cused of conspiring to defraud the city
by laying only one-sixth of the concrete
and brickwork called for in the contract
for the construction of Section N of the
Lawrence avenue tunnel
The Merriam commission, which has
been investigator municipal expenditures.
brought out the fact that the city had
been charged about $4,000 for the cutting
out of shale rock in Section d of the
tunnel. The shale rock proved to be only
hard clay, it is alleged. Evidence con-
corning the s254,000 fraud. upon which
the indictment was based, was not
brought out by the commission.
In the indictment the men are charged
with ccnspiring to obtain nine warrants
for the payment of 1854 900 by the city
of Chicago.
The last payment on the quarter-miI-
lion dollar contract for the Lawrence
avenue tunnel or sewer was made by the
city July 10, 1909
Redieske displayed little emotion when
shortly afterward furnished the $4,000
bail required from him.
McGovern was also held in $4,000 bond,
while the others were placed at 5000
each. MoGovsrn announced that he
would furnish the bond tomorrow.
the foiioWinS statement was made by
Redieske:
THE only thing that can say is that
report of any irregularity. or shortage OF
material in the construction of the sewer
was never made to me. reported the
work was progressing very favorably. In
fact, the city engineer reported to me
that the job was one of the finest pieces
of sewer building he had ever seen.'
Mayor Busse refused to make any state
y toll of ho iof er,fx
having been returned.
Redieske resigned from his position as
deputy commissioner of public works a
short time ago after the Merriam COM
mission had made public certain state
ments relating to the methods of his
office.
Bonnell was suspended for refusing to
aid the commission in its Investigations.
1t was announced from the states at
torney's office that the grand jury would
continue its probe into other lines Of al
legged city hall graft.
