Washington, Nov. 26.-The annual
report OF the postmaster general will
renew his recommendation for the in
PRODUCTION OF a limited parcel post
service on rural mail routes. He be-

ings system is thoroughly organized
the postoffice department should be
prepared to establish throughout the

to be handled. He accordingly urges
a further inquiry and special APP

watching for time. one entered the
house by the same route and let the
other in at the door. They found
Henry Carter asleep in bed, and he
told them he had, when trying to 60
to his room, found the door locked and
had climbed in the window.
Sometime afterwards Dickson swore

that seeing the conduct of the man
the officers should have gotten a
search warrant before going in to in

IT WAS A TIE GAME

RESULTED, KANSAS, s.;
MISSOURI s.
TWENTY THOUSAND SAW FIGHT
Was a Spectacular show--A Clearly
Contested strusgle--Thousands OF
Students Headed by Bands Paraded
the Streets Of Kansas City.


Kansas City, Nov 26.--IIn one Of the
most spectacular games ever wit
messed on grIdiron. Missouri and
Kansas played a tie game, both scor'
ing a touchdown and failing to kick
goal. The ball continually shifted
from side to side.
Kansas several times missed
chances to score when near Mis-
souri's goal by attempting the use OF
the forward pass.
The game was replete with brilliant
plays.
Twenty Thousand Spectators.
Fully 10000 persons witnessed the
twentieth annual contest for football
supremacy. The students were the
first on the field, and with yeA leaders
marshaled their forces. That sonor-
GUS old Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk
chant lent color to the scene, while
from across the field was waited the
Tiger yell of "Old Mizzou." These
yells intermingled with the college
songs. woke up some Of the old boys
whose noses have been to the grind
stone OF business for years.
The Kansas team was the first in
the field and was greeted with loud
cheers. The men seemed to be run
ming we'll and exceptionally lively.
They looked good in the preliminary
practice. The Missouri team arrived
about half hour later from their
rendezvous in Excelsior Springs,
where they have been putting on the
finishing touches for the past several
days. They trailed across the field
led by Capt. Thatcher, and If there
were any cripples on the team they
certainly were not noticeable.
Long Lines Waited.
Long before the game started lines
OF football enthusiasts lined up at the
several entrances to the Gordon 4
Koppel stadium, some OF the lines be-
Ing ave deep and three blocks long.
Many we're not able to gain admission
until after the game had started. The
weather was ideal for baseball and
fine for the spectators, but not we'll
suited for football.
At 2:10 fully 5000 people we're lined
up outside the stadium in four long
lines extended from Tracy to Troost
avenues.
Probably 5000 were gathered on
knoll south OF and overlooking the
stadium. They had clear and unob-
structed view of the entire field with
rut the necessity OF paying admission.
Three thousand college students,
wild with months OF pent up enthusi-
asm. almost as many more college
alumni with all the fires of the college
spirit relighted and a host Of visiting
followers of Missouri and Kansas uni
versities. took possession OF the
streets aud downtown hotel Hobbies
and created the largest demonstration
OF Kansas City's football history.
Two crowds of football-mad rooters
representing Kansas and Missouri,
each led by their own university
bands. paraded the downtown streets.
