CASE IS
BEFORE COURT
Attorney General Asks Shall Rome
Burn Because Of Nap

Raleigh. April 13.-"In the rush of
business incident to the closing days
|of the general assembly somebody
blundered. Is blunder more sacred
than the constitution itself? Shall
Rome burn because the gentleman
from Rhamkatte took a nap?" is the
way Attorney-Gener Beckett puts 1t
up TO the supreme court in his brief
for Governor Kitchin in the case
against State Auditor Wood to require
the cal on the counties for the 1.35
poll tax and las property tax con-
templated by the legislature In spite
OF the error that left the poll tax in
the act at l29, thus breaking the con-
stitutional equasion of 3 to required
between property and poll. He argues
that the work of the legislature was
ministerial and the error a clerical
one. and that to nullify the constitu-
ton or hold up the revenue of great
state because of the mistake of a
draughtsman, would be the very deifi-
cation of error. He insists that the
principle enunciated by the majority
of the supreme court in Russell V.
Aver, that is now held to show the
1911 revenue act void, is not in
furthsrance but in derogation OF the
constitution.
B. F. Dixon. counsel for the state
auditor. stakes his case against the
validity Of the 1911 act on the ruling
OF the supreme court in 1ss7-Russell
". Aver. holding that the effect of the
decision in the case can not be con-
sidered and that the constitution is
mandatory in requiring that the legis-
lature shall observe the prescribed
|equasion.

Jennings Hired
 In Murder Trial
Manager of Detroit Team Will Show His Speed as Lawyer
 in Pennsylvania Courts

Scranton, Pa.. Nov. 25- Hugh Jennings, manager of the Detroit Base ball club, who is also a lawyer at the bar here, was retained yesterday by Edward and Stanley Papsch to de- ferfd them at their trial in February against the charge of killing Felix Slesonski in Old Forge last Tuesday night The victim was waylaid and beaten to death on his way home after pro- posing marriage to q widow, proprie- tress of saloon. Jennings will be assisted by his brother, William B. Jennings, also an attorney at the bar.
 This will be the second homicide case for the Tigers leader to figure in since he was admitted to the bar a year ago on his return eroni his baseball season. He was called into to the defense of a man who was tried for killing a chicken thief and ac- quilted. In the Slesonski case a harder task cOnfronts Jennings Tor the commonwealth contends that the killing was planned and committed in cold blood.
 .I think they have the wrong men in this affray." said Hughie on leav- ing the county jail, where he talked with the prisoners, and his remark would indicate that the defense will be an alibi.
 .I must forget baseball until this thing is over with, and I'm glad have the time to give to the case," he said.

 Stadium, Soldiers Field. Nov. 25.- More evenly matched than for years, Yale met Harvard here, this after noon, in the 31st annual football game between these bitter rivals, During the early morning the Yale team ruled 10 to s and 10 to z favorite with students and with the hosts who came from far distant points to see Johnny Harvard fight off the attacks of the tenacious bull dog. .1
 Boston is crowded as never before with enthusiasts who include not only the old graduates but devotees of the game who expect to see the best grid iron contest of the season. With the exception of less than a score of tickets which are now in the hands of the speculators and worth 10 times their weight in radium, every pasteboard is gone. The vanguard Of a crowd of more than 10000 had started for the center of the world before noon.
 Today's struggle is not for the big college championship. Prediction is that Princeton already has it cinch- ed, having defeated both Yale and Harvard. Soldiers Field was not in good shape for the match. Rain, all day yesterday, had left it watersoak- ed ana the D1t1ng WlnOS HaO not Deen sufficient to dry it, freezing it in stead However, it was a far better gridiron than that on which Yale and Princeton battled for the cham pionship, last week.
 The advance sale of tickets had been the largest in the history of the struggle between Yale and Harvard and the early indications were that Al, 900 persons would be jammed into the stadium by 2 o'clock. Weather conditions were what football en- thusiasts called ideal The mer- cury hovered around the 30's while a crisp wind blew across the grid iron, adding a snap to the cold that insured fast play.
 The game was expected to be spectacular from a spectators view point but not really a great game from the standpoint of a football player. Neither team, it was believ- ed, would be able to advance the ball

bIed that which probabIy would nov be accorded Dr. Cook by the King of Denmark. The warmth of coY- diality shown them upon their arrival induced them to telegraph home for fur coats and ear-muffs. It ts Said that during the entire stay Of the Pennsylvania students but one cheer was given Pennsylvania by Mien5xzo and that was when the Red and Bl 1e eleven trotted on the gridfron Dr3oT - the game.
 On every occasion the Michigan students went out of their way to cas< slurring remarks at the Quaker stn- dents, and several times when the on the street the Michigan under graduates tried to pull the red and blue armbands off the Pennsy1vaa1a men, and two or three free-foF~au fights ensued.
 Then on the departure Of the Penn sylvania special a crowd Of Michigan students assembled at the station to see them off. As the team was abotss ready to depart the Penn students
 gave rousing cheer for Michigan
 Not . sound was heard in the War
 of response, nor was hand clap
 ped in appreciation of the honor Penn
 had paid their rivals. Instead, fhs
 Michigan students made a dash for

 bunting which draped the rear. This
 was too much for the Penn students
 and they repelled the attack with
 window poles, megaphones aDd any
 thing they could lay their hands cr
 and which could be hurled from the
 car windows.

BOXING

Bombardier Wells. the English heaSyweight champion. who is said to be one of the cleverest big men produced in England since the days of Charaley Mitchell, has decided to come to this country in search of fights, and will leave the other side for America a few days after his twen- ty-round fight with Fred Storbeck, the South African heavyweight champion which takes place at the National Sporting Club of London on the night of Dec. 16. An offer of $20,000 was cabled to Wells to-day by a New York fight promoter to come here and box under the latter's management for six f1attering guarantee.
 Harry Foley, the well-knOwn train- CT and manager of fighters of Califor- mia for many years, has been select ed to referee the twenty-round bout between Packey Mcfarland and Tom- my Murphy, which is to be decided before the Shasta Club of San Fran cisco on Thanksgiving Day afternoon, promoter Jimmy Coffroth and both Mcfarland and Murphy accepted him.
 Bert Reyes. who is to meet Knockout Brown in a fifteen round bout before the Casino A. C., of New Haven. Conn.,, on Monday night, is certain he will beat Danny Morgan's s fighter. When I meet Brown this time will be in the best shape,' said Reyes, aand as we will battle for fif- teeen rounds instead of ten I cannot imagine how I am going to lose. D Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven will referee the bout.
