Officials for the contest were
agreed upon today after a confer
ence. Joseph Doe, physical director
at the Y. NJ. C. A. in Davenport. will
act as referee. Doe has done consid-
cradle officiating for Davenport high
school this season and his work in
the ST. Ambrose game stamped him
as satisfactory to the management
of that team. He allows no wrang-
ling, follows the ball well and knows
the rules Clayton Shinstrom, an ex-
high school football star and cap
tain of the Grinnell college team this
year, will act either as umpire or
field Judge. Shinstrom should know
the game we'll, having played with
Grinnell three years, the last two of
which he was the star man on the
team. The third official will be Ar
thur Salzmann of this city, also an
ex-high school player. He, too, has
made good as an official.

SCHOONER DAMAGED IN GALE.
The May and Annie Beswick Having
Mainsail Repaired.

The schooner May and Annie Bes-
wick, Capt. Meekins, which is in port
here with lumber from the James river,
is having her mainsail repaired and
new jaws put on her main boom. as a
result of the northwest gale that swept
Chesapeake bay last week. Capt. Meek
ms reports his vessel was struck by
the heaviest of the gale just as she
was about to enter the Potomac, and
for three days she was forced to lie at
anchor three miles below Point Look
out, while the gale whistled through her
rigging and the short seas Of Chesa-
peake bay pounded her sides.
The two-masted bay schooner Eugie,
owned by Capt. Meekins. will go to
Alexandria as soon as she completes
the unloading of cargo Of lumber, to
haul out on the marine railway for
attention to her hull and to be calked.
On her way up the river she ran ashore
near Fort Foote, and lay there for ten
days. After being fioated a leak de-
veloped, caused, 1t is thought. by her
being ashore during long spell of ex-
tremely low water and northerly winds.

Turkeys Take a Jump.

The turkey market took jump. the
birds selling a cent higher a pound whole
sale. In the retail market large, heavy
turkeys were selling at CSC a pound. but
for small, choice ones 3Oc was being paid.
This price, the dealers state, is not
caused by any shortage in the supply, but
simply because the Washington house
keeper wants turkey for the Thanksgiving
dinner and proposes to have it, no matter
what the price.
Users of butter in Washington are still
hoping for a cut in butter prices-only
hoping and nothing more. They are pay
ing the same for the necessity as they
paid last week and cent higher than
they paid the week before
The report of the split in the Elgin
board, which has been fixing standard
butter prices for years. gave ground for
hope here that butter prices to the con-
sumner would go tumbling. No indications
OF a fall, however, are shown by the
prices quoted to shoppers who bought
butter today. The best grades are selling
at exactly the same figures at which
they sold last week and a cent pound
higher than they were week before last.

Householders Take Hope.

Washington householders. it is said
by local dealer. can take hope that a
reduction of meat prices may be COM
ing. Mutton and pork are selling lower
than they did a week ago, but there is
no change in the good grades of beef.
in spite of the news from Chicago that
the packers yesterday announced a re-
duction of a cent a pound on the whole
sale price Of beef.
THE Washington market is governed
by the supply on hand and the demand
for it. and Chicago prices have but little
influence here If Washington stores are
well stocked and the demand Is light
prices come down, and they go up when
opposite conditions exist. The market in
the west or north may be low and the
Washington people take a notion they
want beef. and nothing else will suit
them, and up go the prices here. Supply
and demand govern the market here, as
they do everywhere"
This is the way local representative
of one of the large western packing
houses summed up the situation today
for a reporter for The Star.
Prices on lamb have dropped so that
the meat is being sold today at 10 to
IS cents a pound, against Is to % cents
pound a week ago.
Pork today is selling wholesale at ID
cents a pound, against 10 to 20 cents
three weeks ago.

His Wedding Plans.

Whatever the past Of Lewis might have
been. certainly during the three years he
lived in Harlem he seemed happy and
prosperous. He was popular with his ac-
quaintances. by whom he was known as
a salesman for a. cut-glass concern. His
friendship with Miss Enright ripened into
q deeper affection and the announcement
that they were to be married January III,
1905, was not a surprise to their friends.
Lewis at this time was living with Mr..
and Mrs. Charles r. Cloudsley at 22z
West 124th street. In his preparations
for his marriage his newly made friends
had helped him, but a letter reached
Lewis on the day before the date of his
marriage and from this moment his &C.
tions, SO far as the police are able to
ascertain, were more or less uncertain.
Lewis disappeared on the same day
from his home with the Cloudsleys and
subsequently reached the fat of his
friend. Philip Meagher. who lived at
$50 West saith street. Three years prior
20 this Lewis had sent a trunk-the con-
tents OF which were not discovered until

NEW YORK, November 23.-At the
time of the disappearance of Albert c..
Caller. the artist, whose body, the police
say. was found packed in a trunk In
the basement of a house last week, he
had between $4,000 and $4,000, it was
learned today. -
The police have been informed also
that Caller and Willism Lewis. his
friend, in whose trunk the body was
found. were attentive to the same woman.
An intimate friend Of Caller said that
in June. 1902, the artist told him his
Paris and between $4,000 and $4,000.
Caller, he said, did not return to France.
but dropped out Of sight
Soon after that time Bono Caller. his
brother, with whom he had associated in
an ivory company in Sierra Leone, on
the west coast of Africa. came to New
York. The African merchant laid the
case before the French consul in New
York and a search was instituted. So
been accounted for since that time.
Artist Knew Missing Man.
One man has been found in New York
who knows much of the story of Caller
and of his doings during the three years
that he lived in New York. This man,
himself an artist Of some note and a
fellow-countryman of the missing French
man, was the one to whom Caller showed
his ticket to France ana the large sum
Of money which he had received from
Sierra Leone, and to whom he announced
his intention of returning to his home in
June eight years ago.
II knew Caller in Paris when he was
a student" he said. HE was of Norman
birth and it appeared that his family was
well to do.
How long Caller studied In Paris l
don't know. His adventures subsequent
to his student days l had from him when
we had met once more in New York.
1T seems that his brother was the head
of French company of exploitation
operating in French Guinea and Sierra
Leone, on the African west coast. Ivory
and other forest products was what they
traded IN.
Caller went out to enter his brothers
company some time about 1896 or 81 He
was there a little less than three years.
during which time he says that he had
many adventures in the bush.
