Three Great Games.
Three games occupy the attention of
the footgalI world tomorrow. Prince
toms unfortunate collection of players
faces the Middies at Annapolis, and II
the field is heavy. may meet with de-
feat. Yale journeys to West Point to
wipe out memories of last years dis
grace. Brown will try to hang the
leather medal on the in-and-out eleven
at Franklin Field.
Too many cooks aret said TO have
spoiled the broth. and too many coaches
may be the answer on Osborne Field
where the Princeton Tigers are found
Tiger varsity has no line worth men,
tioning, and the backf1eld. too light for
good service, cannot get under way
behind such a weak set Of forwards
for the varsity, II the accounts from
Osborne Field are correct.
On the other hand the Middies have
one OF the most powerful elevens in
the history Of Academy football. The
forwards are heavy. but speedy. and
in Captain Dalton the Navy has one of
the best punters and rushers in the
game today. Though making no boasts,
the Middies expect to acuuit thems elves
honorably, and this may mean vi ctory
over the Orange and Black.
Will Be For Blood.
Last year Fred Daly's Ellis were
trimmed by the Cadets 9 to 3, and so
tomorrow's battle will be for blood.
Every seat has been taken, and all
New York will be there. The Blue has
a better team this season and should
win, even though by a small score.
However. 1T is expected that the word
will be given by the coaches to make
a cleanup against the Army, and that
may mean n large score.
At Philadelphia the coaches fear the
worst from Sprackling and his COM
panions from Brown. The Quakers
have. several good players in the line
up, but as a team Penn is fearfully
weak. The coaches, from Andy Smith
down, fear the unerring toe of
Sprackling. his great forward passing,
and his brilliant running in a broken
field. Then. too. Brown has a few
other gridiron stars on its eleven. and
1t has adapted the Minnesota shift to
its own players. This shift victorious
for Yale last season, may prove
troublesome for the Quaker forwards
tomorrow. All in all, this battle should
be one to remember long.

Brown Is Prepared.

PROVIDENCE, Oct. 20.-With a short
but vigorous signal drill and a final
trying out on the home field of various
formations and trick plays which have
been developed in secret practice for
use against the Quakers tomorrow, the
coaches put the finishing touches on the
Brown team yesterday on a rain-soaked
gridiron taking few chances of seriously
laming any Of the players.

About q score of players, including
substitutes, left this morning, whence
they will 60 to Philadelphia Saturday.
The team Is going down to Penn with
any amount Of courage, but the coaches
say they do not look for a victory. In

Penn once. in 1889. and has won one
victory, in 1902.

vania's coaches put their team through
another hard practice yesterday in
preparation for the Brown game on Sat-
uriay. The coaches let II be known
that they have q very high respect for

worry them more than anything else Is
the fact that Brown has team of

GOES ID SUPREME COURT TO FORCE HtNT TO FILE TRANS
 seRlPT OF EVIDENCE.
ATTACKS COURT TERM
Says Recent session of DeSha Circuit Court Was Not SuthWrized By Law
 To File Notion Monday.

Attorney s. J. Hunt, who was re- gently fined 5000 and sentenced to six months in the county jail for failing 10 file ill the Pulaski cllancery court at Little Rock d copy of the evidence taken at the habeas corpus hearing Of w. s. Rhea, charged with murder and who carried the case to the Supreme Court, was yesterday i furnished with a copy of a motion, which will seek to require Attorney Hunt 10 file copy of the testimony in that court The motion was prepar- ed by Attorney X. o. Pindall, of Lit tie Rock, and will be presented to the higher court by that lawyer with an argument to sustain it.
 The motion is in many ways similar to that made in the chaneery court some months ago by the former goVer- nor, demanding that a transcript Of the evidence taken at the Rhea hear ing be filed before Judge John E. Marlineau II differs in only one re- speet, where Attorney Pindal attacks the legality of the recent session of the Desha circuit court, which he claims was not authorized by law end at 1 which Rhea was indicted for murder ! in the first degree. The Indictment of Rhea followed the refusal of Judge Martincau to grant bail to the de- fendant, after Attorney Pindall sought through habeas corpus proceeding, to secure it. .t.as
 Mr. Hunt stated yesterday that if the Supreme Court orders him to file the evidence with that body he will not hesitate moment to comply with the order. He has contended all along that the evidence taken at the habeas corpus hearing was his pri- vate property, that the stenographer who took the notes was employed by him and other attorneys for the prosecution and that counsel for the defense had no legal right to review it.
 Attorney Pindall raises a new point
 in his new motion. He charges that the indictments returned in the Rhea and other cases at Arkansas City re- gently, during the August term of the Desha circuit court, are void and without effect. because the recent General Assembly passed an act changing the time for holding the courts in the Eleventh Judicial Dis trict, but preserved the July term and did not establish the "pretended" Au- gust term. The grand jury and the other jurors, he said, were selected by the sheriff and not by the jury commission as provided by law.

BRETON CETS"DtCISION
 OVER ABE ATTELL
Although Handicapped By Weight Lightweight Champion Made
 Fine Showing.

New York, Sept 20-Matt Wells, the English lightweight champion is quite some boxer. In one of the fastest cleverest and most interest ing fights held in this town he out pointed Abe Attell tonight at the Madison Square Garden
 tantalizing left jab that very seldom missed Abe's face, helped to win for the Englishman. Again he had the habit of banging it around in a lightning hoop that snapped Abie's head back many times. The battle ended with Attell carrying slight ly crimsoned nose and discolored right eye.
 The Briton showed his cleverness as the battle progressed. After feel ing out Attell in the first round he settled down to business and showed what English champions are made of in and out, he displayed marvellous skill. Attell was not far behind in cleverness. He showed all the tricks he knew and in flashes his offensive and defensive tactics were simply astounding.
 Wells climbed into the ring weigh ing 137 pounds while the feather weight champion tipped the beam al 121 1-2 pounds. The handicap prov ed hard on Attell as the rounds in creased, for Wells took advantage ol it in all the clinches.
 Attell can feel proud of his show ing. Battling a man heavier and one that has not had the strenuous ca reer of our boy, it is no sgrace te be shaded. Able used his left arm during the encounter and nevel seemed to have the slightest diff culty with the injured member.

his critics say. Later on, the people will be looking back on two terms ol President Taft.
 It was evident, from the way that Congressman Young and Senator Townsend went at it, that the pres1- dents campaign managers ill Mlchl- gan are prepared to carry on bitter warfare to crush out any antagon- ism that may develop ill their state against the 1912 candidacy
 The president felt encouraged by the attitude of his audiences in this city, although he had been assured in advance that he would be we'll receiv- ed.
 When he arose to speak in the tenr meeting, the crowd made his fact light up when it yelled: You're all right
 q am glad to be assured" answer ed the president MT Taft informed his hearers that he proposed while on the trip to talk administration issues which had been criticised. He prom ised to take up the vetoes of the Woolen, Farmers Free List and Cot ton Bills at Grand Rapids tomorrow He spoke to the crowd about arbitra- ton and the peace treaties, repeating what he had already discussed at Erie and Pontiac.

THREE CHILDREN, TWO WOMEN AND \ MAN PARTIALLY MuR-
 DERED IN COLORADO.
MURDERER IS MISSING
Brute Used AXe-BOdieS- Found Lying In Mass of Their Own Brains
 and Blood.

Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. D. The most atrocious crime i'll the an- nals of Colorado came to light here this afternoon when the mangled bodies of three children, two women and man was discovered in two adjoining houses in the Northwest part of the city.
 The head of each of the victims had been cut off and smashed with all axe, until the brains oozed out and the rooms were flooded with blood For the last three days the bodies of the murdered lay in their own blood while the murderer who wieldedthe axe is still at large.
 The victims are:
 Mrs. Alice May Burnham, age 34;; her six year old daughter and two year old son, found in bed at No 3221 West Dale street
 Mrs. Blanche Wayne, age 45; Hen ny F. Wayne, age 50, and their one year-old baby, found in bed at No. 742 Harrison street.
 This afternoon at 3 o'clock, A. ]. Burnham, cook at the Modern Woodmen's Sanitarium. husband Of one of the murdered women, was talk en into custody by the Sheriff's of | ficn tO bp of the crime Medical Director ] 1 A. Rutledge, of the Sanitarium, is positive that Burnham has not been away from the Sanitarium since Mon- day afternoon. All of the murdered
 were last seen late Sunday night Nevertheless Burnham is still being held.
 Every circumstance connected with the crime points to a cold blooded deliberate murder, so blood curdline that it is almost impossible to con- ceive of it having been perpetrated by any human being. The murderer entered each house through the back door, which was unlocked, and used his axe while the occupants of the house lay asleep in bed. Not con- tent with mashing the sklls of his victims, the murderer used the blade of the axe and hacked them about the heads and shoulders. Wayne's head was battered and cut to pieces The skull of his infant was crushed like an egg shell.
 After finishing his crime the mur- derer covered the bodies of his vic tims with the bed clothing and slip ped out of the back door, closing il behind him. He left the axe, stained with blood, on the back porch of the Burnham home

DID NOT LIKE THE WAY ONE OF HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGERS RE-
 ERRED TO WILSON.
PUSHING HIS BOOM
Speaks at Marquette and Travels On to Grand Rapids, Battle Creek
 and Kalamazoo.

Marquette, Michigan, Sept. 20.- President Taft took occasion here to- day to rebuke Congressman Young, of Ishpeming, for lugging in a reference to the presidential candidacy of Gov ernor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jer- sey.
 The congressman had the part of introducing President Taft to throng of 300 at a luncheon given the chief executive, in the hall of paro- chial school, just before he left town. Mir. Young, who is an ardent Taft supporter and one of the Repub- lican standpatters, made grandllo- quent speech, lauding the president, and launched off into sarcastic ut torrance regard Governor Woodrow Wilson, saying:
 Mir. Wilson thinks he will make run for president. He won't even be presidential possibility.
 President Taft's face was grave and a ripple of laughter ran through the hall. When he arose to speak, the president without the suggestion of a smile, remarked coldly;
 Your congressman told you at the start. of his speech that he did not know what he was going No talk about nor what l would say. As for him, I am not entirely certain that he knows yet what he was talking about
 During the presidents night and day stay here United States Senator Townsend and Congressman Young did all they could do to send his 1912 boom along. This part of the state of Michigan is entirely ill accord With the presidents ambition for a second term.
 Congressman Young, alert every minute to say something for the chief executive, made a vigorous attack at a large meeting in a tent, ill the morning, upon the Presidents critics, Attacking the Insurgent element in the West, which has only mild reflec- tion in Michigan, the Congressman shouted
 "A spurious progressiveness has sprung up at which critics laughed and angels wept"
 The congressman took up for the president, defense of the veto of the Arizona statehood bill because of the recall of judges proposition, saying that MT. Taft had shown the courage of his convictions and had merely taken action that other Washington statesmen, while approving, dared not publicly acknowledge.
 We are proud of the president for the enemies he has made," asserted the congressman. "Muck-raking maga- zines every vender of quack politi- cal nostrums, dramatical, false, slip pery, disloyal politicians are opposed to the president" Looking at the president, Congressman Young ex- plained: "The heart of the president is sound to the core, no matter what
