Especial to The Bulletin )

Norwich Free Academy defeated Windham High school at football on >Wlndham field Saturday afternoon, be- fore a good crowd, but the score of 17-5, in game that was stubbornly contested from start to finish. While the visiting eleven displayed a slight ly more versatile style of play and had a similor advatage in weight, coupled with more than an even break of football luck. the lighter eleven representing Windham gave. a good account of itself, and would have shown to better advntage had not it's players transgressed the rules by over anxiousness relative to interference with attempts to work the forward pass.
 Norwich Free Academy in all prob ability displayed it's beset form of the season. Her attacks to the left and right of center in the line were well directed and resulted almost invari- ably in good gains. The working of the forward pass by the Academy was also responsible for gains at least three out of every five times attempt ed. The visitors played a fast, snappy game and played together as unit. The linemen played low and when a back had the ball there was some semblance of interference for him, as well as a hole all ready for him to en- ter.
 McCorrick's Great Playing.
 Mccormick, right halfback for the Academy, was by far the most con- spicuous figure uuon the field, and played a wonderful game, making re- peated gains when called upon. His receiving of punts was also good, save on exception, and his booting of the ball was well worth seeing. With this exceedingly fast and aggressive player out of the lineup of the Aceadmy it's team would only be one of mediocre ability. The entire eleven seemed to be built around him. Others to shine in a lesser degree for the Academy were Swan, Tevlin, Crocker and Her. bert, who went in at tackle in place of Kinney.
 keirans' Sprint for 50 Yards.
 The home eleven, considering it's weight, played a good game, and wor- ried their heavier opDon1nts consider ably. Harrington was the most ef- fective ground gainer, while it fell to tional run of the day, a fifty yard run, after recovering a forward pass that carried the ball to the very shadow of Norwich's goal. He was tackled from behind by the fleet footed Mccormick.
 Potter, "a Star at End.
 Potter, playing right end for Wind ham, tackled in superb style and saw ed Windham time and again. He is easily the best end that has worn a Windham uniform in a number of years. Kelley tackled in his usual fierce manner, and downed Mccormick in his tracks once upon the kickoff Manley kicked off we'll, sending the

Young Woman and Fiance Are Found
Dead From Mysterious Cause on
Eve Of MARRIAGE.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Jan 2.-That
Grace Elosser and her fiance, Charles
K. Twigg, We're poisoned by cyanide
administered in chewing gum. was tho
theory upon which the Cumberland po.
lice today centered their efforts In the
mystery that surrounded the finding
of their bodies Saturday evening
An analysis of chewing gum found
in the mouth OF Twigg was ordered
today and II 1t discloses the presence
OF cyanide, the police will attempt to
trace where the gum came from. n
No gum was found in Miss Elossers
month, but q well-chewed piece was
found on the floor of the parlor where
she and her sweetheart had met to
prepare for their wedding, and this
the authorities believe, she had been
chewing.
The chewing gum clew is the only
line on the mystery that the police
have been able TO gather In two days
OF frenzied investigation. The couple
were alone In the parlor when they
died, but all the members of Miss
Elosser's family were In the house.
Tests have shown the presence Of
cyanide in the bodies but a thorough
search failed to reveal any receptacle
that might have held the poison.
The authorities say that the poison
may have been taken in capsules, ut
the relatives OF both Twigg and the
girl scout the idea OF suicide. They
were to have been married on New
Years day.

woman was today prepared for burial

JAPANESE FAMILIAR WITH
DEFENSES IN PHILIPPINES
Admission ls Made BY Prominent Of
ficer Of the United States
Army.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Japanese
military authorities are as intimately
familiar with our defenses In the
Philippines as Ia the United States
war department itself
This situation was admitted TO-DAY
by high regular army officer, in cor
roboration OF statements OF the Fill
pino Delegates Ignacio Villamor ant
Ponciano Reyes, who have just arrived
in Washington.
when Dewey sailed into Manils
bay. inS May, 1898, the Japanese ever
then knew more about the tortifica
tons of The harbor than the Amer
cans" said this army officer. They
have never since that time let theil
information grow stale, but have KEPT
accurate data on all works Instituted
by the United States in the island.
Viilamor confirmed recent United
Press dispatches from Manila, regard
ing japanese activities in the islands
and said:
Last September we arrested two
Japanese spies in Manila. They had
i'm their possession maps of the Philip
pines, and of the city o. Manila am
its harboT and fortihcatlons. ms ar
rest was known at Washington, but
as there was no law authorizing The
arrest OF civilians suspected of spy
ing, they had to be released.
There Is no doubt now but that the
Japanese are familiar with every de
tail Of the Notifications in the harbor
OF Manila and Corrigidor.
several months ago nearly all the
stationery stores in Manila secured
maps of Manila. and within a week
or two, all had been sold to Japanese
so there is no doubt that there is a
concerted effort by Japanese 10 obtain
all information possible.
Il was told by a japanese officer
that his government and the members
of the Japanese army are confident
they could take the Philippines today
tomorrow or any other time.

usual serenity has pervaded the con-

cering whether IL is simply the after
math or the demonstration attendant
upon the ushering in OF the New
Year, or whether those who consti.
tute the lower strata have turned new
leaves In the ledgers of their lives
and resolved TO sin no more.
Almost "a hours have come and
gone since the desk sergeant has
been called upon TO enter the names
ot any sons OF the hayward upon the

that the cells OF the outlying stations

day mornings early session" of the

several occupations for the ensuing
month or two depends greatly upon
the gravity of their offenses and the
disposition OF the justice when he
mounts his official pedestal.
This pacific state of affairs has ex-
tended itself to other lines of police
endeavor. There have been few &c.
Clients and these of minor import
anoe. Nobody has attempted to cele.
brate the dawn of new year by at.
tempting to end their lives.
Murders and other crimes of car
mine hue are not worrying the police.
There havn't even been any more
positive identifications" of the body
of the Highland Park murder victim,
who lies in the county morgue.
Altogether the atmosphere about
police headquarters is very subdued
and the police can start to work with
clean slate for 1911
