CarneEie's Greatest Work.
President Taft regarded the donation OF
the building to the American Republics
by Mr.. Carnegie as the greatest work
that he had done to promote mutual
arbitration and to insure peace among
the nations who comprise the union.
II wish to express my full concurrence
in the strong words Of the Secretary Of
State,'' said the President, "emphasizing
the importance Of the last meeting Of the
American Republics at Buenos Ayres, and
in calling attention to the future useful
ness Of the union. there made firmer Of
all the republics of the hemisphere.
I'VE meet here to-day to take part In
the ceremony Of the presentation. by the
union Of these republics, Of the PAN
American gold medal to the individual,
foremost in the world in his energetic
action for the promotion Of peace. The
immediate cause was the presentation to
peace.
'It has a typical significance that
makes greatly for the bond established
between these republics hope no rep

Having depleted jug Of whiskey and
leaving himself thus without fire water
Of the Intoxicating kind, j. Carswell.
the man who died suddenly yesterday
morning, resorted to lemon extract. At
the inquest held by Coroner A. w.

four bottles Of the flavoring extract at
each place, taking the entire supply to
his room. This he drank instead of
whiskey. When 1t was learned what
he was doing with the extract the
grocerymen refused to sell it to him.
Several bottles were found in his
room. He was seized with the attack

DRIVES MOWER;
GIRL MANCL.ED
STELLA NovoTNY OF VICTOR
HoRRIeL INJURED BY SICKLE
OF MACHINE.

Victor, July 11.-Terribly mangleo
by the sickle of the moving machine
which she had been driving, MISS
Stella Novotny, Is year old girl, lay
for two hours In the boiling sun OF
the hay field before she was found.
Though in excruciating agony Miss
Novotny managed to tear her skirt to
pieces and make bandages with which
she bound her wound, partially allay-
ing the flow of blood. But for her
own heroism the young woman I'M
doubleday would have died from loss
of blood before help reached her.
Surgical attendance was not secured
until several hours after the accident,
but It is believed Miss Novotny> will
recover although she will be manned
for life. Physicians say the amputa-
ton Of one leg, and possibly both,
will be necessary.
How the girl was caught under the
machine is not definitely known. 1t Is
considered likely that she was fasten-
Ing harness tug, standing In front OF
the sickle bar without having thrown
the machine out Of gear, when the
team started, the swiftly moving
blades nearly severing her limbs just
above the ankles.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. Jan. 2a.-Cspectsl
Telegram -PlayinR in much better form
than in the game Friday night the Mime
sofa basket ball quintet again defeated
the Nebraska five tonight. The final score
in this contest was Minnesota, 4O Ne
braska, Is.
The game was PLAYED on the Armory
floor and was attended by a large, but
somewhat quiet crowd Both teams started
the game with the same line"ps used in
Fridays inlay The Gopher quintet was
working together nicely The team play
showed marked Improvement and their in
Perception Of Nebraska passes was good
The Cornhusker team blocked whenever
It reached the danger zone. although the
Gopher defense was weak in mdfield
Captain Rosenwald was not in the game
and his work of breaking up team play was
missed. Wanless. too, was still on the
sick list, and his absence was noticeable
The maroon and gold players started the
game with a rush and secured a good lead
and held II to the end At the call of time
for the first period Minnesota was leading
with II to l.
The score play of Frank Lawler, the
Gopher forward, in this half was a repe-
titon Of his great work in Fridays game.
Last night he counted fifteen of Mime
sofas seventeen points in this period.
In the final half Minnesota made several
changes in its lineup, which improved the
scoring ability. In this session every man
on the Gophers squad was able to score
at least once. Frank Lawler was easily
the best man on the floor. His dribbling
and fast floor plays was a feature, while
his scoring Of ten field goals and four
fouls came near to establishing a record
on the Armory floor. Robilliard and
Grimes. Minnesota's guards worked well,
although the former was a little too much
inclined TO follow the ball and have his
man free On the offense and in the team
psy he was a star. Walker showed well
and his passing and feeding the ball to
Lawler was especially good. Frank proved

Harvard Princeton
Match is Arranged
Crimson and Tigers Will Play in
November, Adding New Phase to
College Foot Ball.

BY the arrangement OF foot ball game
between the elevens OF Harvard and
Princeton more interest than ever will be
injected into the foot ball campaign of 1911.
The Tigers are to play Harvard this year
al Princeton on November 4. The date is
little early. yet in view of the better con-
dillon OF players. which was much in evil
dence during the foot ball season OF 1910,
there seems to be no particular reason why
both universities may not be able to put
good elevens in the field.
The game will afford some new basis for
comparison in the foot ball world. With
its light schedule last year Princeton really
suffered to some extent as except the
Dartmouth and Yale games there was little
to bring out the best of the team
Dartmouth played capital game in spots
against Princeton, and the Tigers barely
won, Yale defeated Princeton, and after
that defeat Princeton hardly held its own
in the recapitulation of the years sue
cesses.
The fact that more foot ball games may
be played among the larger universities
would lead to the conclusion that the sport
does not take quite so much out of the
players as 1t did when the contests were
more like tugs OF war between picked
teams.
