Cornell Loses

Chicago, November 1S.-Cornell lost to the University of Chicago by to 0 score. Victory was largely due to the aggressive play of Walter Kennedy, a substitute right balfback, and the kick ing of Horace Scruby, who scored two field goals. Cornell came near SCOT ing once, placing the ball on Chicago's one yard line, but the Maroons held and kicked to safety. {
 Cornell had several chances to score during the early part of the game, but luck and vicious playing by the Chicago men prevented. A strong wind swept over the field. This worked against the eastern men at critical times Chicago's work was a revela tion. The team only recently met de- feat by a larger score at the hands of the University of Minnesota.

 The addition of salt, by the way, to beer in the course of brewing was sup posed to be for the unholy purpose of ex- citing thirst. It may possibly have been used to this end by the interruptions, but the real reason was legitimate. Salt inod- crates the fermentation and makes the liquor fine.

Navy 0. Penn 0

Annapolis, Md, November 1S.-With an eleven composed almost entirely of substitutes, Navy this afternoon played Pennsylvania State college to a score- less tie. The Navy coaches took no chances of losing the services of any varsity men from injuries so close to the Army game next Saturday.
 The only actual effort at score was Pennsylvania's try for placement goal after the recovery of fumbled punt on the 20 yard line in the third quarter.

Slippery Field Made Snappy Playing Almost an
 Impossibility
MUD COVERED BALL
 HARD TO HANDLE
Gillem's Punting Was Easily the Fea- ture of the Game, But Sewanee's Goal Was Most Often
 in Danger
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

On an exceedingly heavy and treach- erous field the Sewanee Tigers upset the dope yesterday by winning from Ala bama in the last two minutes of play, by the score of to o.
 Sewanees victory is attributed to the splendid kicking of Glilem, who made a field goal in the last two minutes of play, from the IS yard line. The game was interesting and spappy throughout although the muddy field made fast plays impossible.
 On account of the exceptionally heavy field the aggregations resorted to straight football tactics, with an occasional for ward pass and on-side kick From the beginning till the end it was a see-saw affair with lots of bunting.
 The teams did not threaten to score un- til the third quarter, when tactics were somewhat changed. Alabama threatened fin this quarter
 The interference was at disadvantage on account of the slippery and treacher- ous field. Occasionally a player would slip on account of the glass like field and fall directly in front of the runner. This would down him before he could start well. On the end runs the interference was well drilled and very effective. Both teams seemed to have been well train

 ESCAPE FOR THY LIFE
Tells Story of Lots Reluctance to Leave Sodom and All His Earthly
 8 Possessions Behind

Another great crowd greeted Evangel- ists Jones and Maxim at the First Metho- dist church last night. Tn the beginning of the service solo was sung by Miss Myra Olive, which was much appreciated. Later a male quartet rendered beat tiful number. The evangelist took for his text Escape for Thy Life.'' He told the Bible story of how reluctant Lot was to leave Sodom because he had to leave his possessions and his position of honor in the city and he had almost to be dragged from the impending doom.

They will not be associated with them If such people want to go to distant city they do not refuse to ride on tho same train with the hypocrites. They know they can leave him when they reach their destination.

WALL STREET HAS
 AN EXCITING DAY Range of Prices Is Unusual,
 Exceeding 6 Points BEARS ARE VICTORS Statement of Judge Gary Is
 Point Around Which Prices Move-Allays Streets Fears s

New York, September H.-One of the most exciting episodes in the history of Wall street in recent years was de- veloped on the stock exchange today Aside from times of panic 1t is doubtful whether the fluctuations of stock were ever more violent.
 The market was in state of complete chaos throughout the session. The range of prices in some cases exceeded six points.
 A peculiar feature of the trading is that resulting in the utter route of bull and bear factions. At the opening there was stampede of bears to cover their con- tracts which they were compelled to do at heavy loss.
 In the afternoon the bears obtained control of the market and prices melted away. At the close of the turbulent ses- sion the bears retired victorious from the filed of battle.
 United States Steel corporations state- ment last night that dissolution or dlsin- tegration were not contemplated by the corporation was the pivot around which prices moved. It allayed Wall streets
  ton in the dissolution case but added to the perplexing aspect, After the first wild rush to buy stocks 1t became other wise apparent heavy selling was again in progress The market wavered and broke. All through the afternoon it was attacked vigorously. The gains of three to four points of the early trading were lost and almost the entire list closed with losses apparent.
 ff.al caiI had witnessed such scenes as those on the floor of the exchange this morning. Long before the opening brokers began to gather around the United States Steel post, ready to execute the buying or ders which had been pouring in as result of the Steel corporations state ment. The brokers were packed so close ly that it was difficult for one to raise an arm above his head. The gong which signalled the opening of trading was sue ceeded by long howl.
 Traders surged around the post and then moved in struggling mass over the floor. The stronger element, conn posed of the sellers, who had gathered on one side of the crowd, forced the other group over the floor.
 Brokers dragged each other about in such a fashion that an inexperienced observer would have thought pitched battle was in progress. The crowd soon returned to the Steel post but there was scarcely a let up throughout the session.
 The first transaction in United States Steel was 3S.O00 shares, the largest block within recent years, with the exception of 45O00 share block last Friday. The price touched 62, gain of SIS. The pre- ferred rose 5%, Lehigh Valley G, Union Pacific 3% and other favorite speculative shares from ? to 4 points Never before had such amounts been dealt in. The total was more than 19O,0OO in the first quarter hour and for 30 minutes 1t was 275OOO shares. The decline was as re- lentless as was the advance. Bears took courage when the bulls were being swamped.
 During the late afternoon the market was almost demoralized. The close was nervous and unsettled Total transac- tions for the day were the largest Of the year.

WELL, I'LL BE-JIGGERED"

Soft as a summer zephyr and gentle as an autumn breeze, is the voice Of Judge Black when he imposes sen tences on tie more or less unfortu- mates who are daily brought before him.
 - Yet when he inurmurs a s100 and 90 days it sounds like thunder clap to him who stands convicted.
 s His honor rarely raises his voice out of the ordinary tone and. as a eonse- quence, when he said, "Discharged'' yesterday morning at the trial of a bunch of crap shooters the attorney for the defense did not catch the word, or maybe he was not expecting it, for he continued to pour out d flood of eloquence on behalf of his client even after the judge had held the evidence insufficient and set them free
 officers Cole and Pulley arrested five negroes in a house in Fifth alley and placed the charge of gaming against them. Judge Horace c. Wilkerson was employed to defend the bunch.
 Officer Cole testified that he saw the bones roll and that he found as much as 30 cents on the crowd when they were arrested. However, the bones had disappeared and could not be produced as evidence at the trial. The testimony developed that while Officer Cole rush ed into the room, gun i'll hand, one of the suspected ones made a hurried exit out of the window, only to run into Officer Pulley with q piece of artillery in his hand that looked like a cannon to the negro

expressed 1t when giving his testimony, he was exceedingly glad to do so."
 The negroes denied that they were shooting craps, and insisted that they were merely discussing the future ef- feet of Canada's veto of President Taft's reciprocity measure when inter- rupted by the entrance of Officer Cole.
 Judge Black gave them the benefit of the doubt and as the testimony was concluded eased out the word that brought joy to thel. hearts, Dis charged
 Judge Wilkerson evidently did not hear the gladstone tidings, for sauar- ing his shoulders and throwing out his chest, he proceeded to earn his fee thuswise: Now, may it please the court respectfully submit that the al legations of the allegator have not been substantiated by the evidence in this case, if your honor please"

 Judge Black raised his voice and said: MT. Wilkerson, please reserve your eloquence for future occasions; I have discharged your clients
 Judge Wilkerson was so astonished that it was fully minute before he thoroughly grasped the situation. He grabbed his chapeau and calculated, Well I'll be-jiggered, and left the court room with five as happy negroes as it is possible to imagine. The dis attorney hasn't got over his astonishment yet

LIQUOR VIOLATORS
 OF FLORENCE FINED
Lauderdale Court Has Busy Ses- siOn-Local Option Forces
 Confident

The Lauderdale circuit court, which took up the criminal side of the docket last Monday week. has had probably the busiest time in it's history. There were 1S9 criminal cases, though only few were of importance The larger part were for violation of the liquor laws and the disturbing of public gatherings, the lat ter having their genesis largely in liquor.
 An interesting feature of the court has been the trial of blind tiger cases ap- pealed from the city police court, all turned up by detective who was brought here by the police in June. This detec- tive caught in the act r individuals, some of whom showed up with six and seven cases against them. These were nearly all old offenders, and they promptly ap- pealed to the circuis court, where the juries had almost invariably turned down such cases. They expected like treat nent at this term, but struck a snag. The first case tried WAS comparatively weak one, but it went against the &C., cused. The offenders then came across en masse, pleaded guilty and asked the mercy of the court. This record of the court is significant here, because it is an unerring indication that the circuit court will hereafter sustain the findings of the city court.
 As the day of election on the whisky question approaches, interest in the fight is becoming widespread, and it is appar- ent that both sides are anxious as to the result. Both are claiming that they will win. No figures are given by the saloon advocates. Some of the more sanguine prohibtionists, however, claim the county by from 300 to 800.

The story Of medical discoveries where
by diphtheria was cured in day and
tuberculosis in four days, which comes
from California, is one OF the. most re-.
markable in annals OF medicine. In fact,
it is so strange as to raise considerable
doubt But the world waits with open
mind, ready to accept the discovery as
genuine just as soon as the efficiency of
the discovery is proved beyond question.
The theory at least seems plausible, it
being the attack on the disease germs
with the bacteria which the germs threw
off in the process of their development,
the bacteria being hostile to the growth
of the disease germs. 1t will be, indeed,
wonderful step, if the effective and
prompt remedy for diphtheria and tu-
bereulosis has been discovered.
