RECIPROCITY LIVE ISSUE
Leading Topic of Comment in

TBy Gable 10 The Tribune. !

London. Feb. q The reciprocity
agreement between the United States
and Canada continues TO form the lead
ing topic of comment in the London
newspapers
The Telegraphs' view is that Can
ada and the imperial preference must
become links between the British En-
pire and the United States. and not the
cause Of division between them. To
these double purposes, imperial union
and Ango-American friendship. the
present reciprocity project will be no OBJ
stacle whatever. but strong help. if We
awaken to the realities at last and make
the wisest use of the next few years"

having been unfortunate in his invest

firm always believing that his deals

,a,.ar known TO have invaded the stock
market before. and that this was his
first plunge.
Suddenly confronted with the fact that
he was unable TO pay back the money
he had stolen. il is thought that Mr. St
John must have resolved at that mo-
noent 70 end his life rather than face the
inevitable disgrace that awaited him.

grown children. When a reporter went

If she had heard Of the finding of the

Mr.. McCutcheon said the suicide had
been nervous and in poor health for
weeks and that he had been missing
from his house for about twenty-four
hours.
When Charles a. Terry was asked as

Mr.. st. johns accounts were not
$4,000 short, as was first reported.

LUCKY PRINCETON AvERTs LOSS
Score to in Game With Lehigh,
DOped as Easy.

Princeton, N. J.. oct. 12.-Lehigh
held Princeton to 6 to tie at foot
ball and while the Princetons gained
almost three times as much ground by
rushing as their opponents, they were
unable to gain when gains meant
scores.
Lehigh scored early on a blocked
forward pass. Vela broke through and
blocked an attempted pass. Knox
picked the ball out of the air and with
a free field before him scored a touch
down Pazett kicked the goal
For the remainder of the first two
periods the visitors repulsed the at
tack of the Princeton team time and
again and left the field for the in
Permission with score of 6 to 0 in
their favor.
The third period opened with the
play decidedly in favor of the visitors.
Crichton and McCafferty tore through
the Princeton line for two first downs,
the only one made by Lehigh. With
the period half gone the coaches began
putting in substitutes Baker, who re-
placed Dewitt, tore his way through
tackle, shook off the secondary defense
and ran As yards for touchdown and
then kicked the goal, tying the score.
Princeton had not a ghost of a
chance to score during the remainder
of the game.

Shadow of Former Athlete All

Kansas City, Oct. 12.-Only a shadow
Of his former self, when he was the
leading athlete. of the middle west,
Tommy Johnson, for three years
Kansas university's best football, base
ball ard basketball player, has been
taken from Excelsior Springs, No, 20
the hospital of the University of Kan
sas in Rosedale for treatment. For
more than year his health has been
gradually failing.
For several years johnson was the
leading spirit in athletics of the high
school in Lawrence. men he entered

classes, young Johnson played on the
university football team, baseball nine
and on the basketball club. He also
was fast enough to make a place on the
university track team, but could not
find the time to take part in its con-
tests.
Missouri Injuries Responsible.
Giving every atom of his strength to
athletics. it is believed that it was this
which caused his failure in health. In
the Missc uri- X ansas football game
played at the Association ball park
in Kansas City on Thanksgiving day,
1909, johnson was struck in the back
and for Is M played as in a trance
The rules then were such that a player
once taken out of the game could not

main in the game in the hope that he
would recover.
Playing quarterback, Johnson had to
be told during those few minutes, eV-
cry play to be called and the player
for whom the signal called, had 10
shout to the dazed man to obtain pos
session of the ball. Recovering MS
full senses, johnson played a brilliant
game in the last half. But from that
time his playing was not the same. AS
captain of the 1910 team it was with
difficulty that he retained his place
and il was evident that he played only
with almost superhuman efforts.
Graduates, Seeks Health.
At the time of his graduation from
Kansas university in June, 1911. when
the climax of his athletic and class
honors was reached, Johnson was bare
ly able to attend the commencement
exercises and began at once to travel
in search of health. For several weeks
he has been at Excelsior Springs.
