Fear Of Injuries Keeps Yale
From Whipping Brown

New Haven. Conn. Noveno6er g.
Yale this afternoon beat Brown 10 to Q.
Yale willingly played . waiting game.
and it looked a. though the coaches
thought a score could be made when IT
was necessary. and that there was no
need OF rishing injury to the players.
Brown showed much strength In her
line. Finn at full back for Yale
and Crowther at quarter for Brown
were the Individual stars Of their
teams
Both sides in the grst period fumbled
badly and resorted to kicks on the
third down. Browns nearest approach
to q score came in the second period
when, with the wind to her oack
goal from placement was tried from
the forty-hve-yard line, which went
only a few sfeet to the rigtG OF the
goal posts. In the third psSs5u, Yale
got life when Finn made thirty yard
run from the centre Of the field and IN
a series Of line plunges carried the
bail over, and later Kicked the goal.

MUCH INTEREST
WAS Shown IN
The GRADUATION
OF THE HOSPITAL NURSFS
Two Young Ladies Received
Their Diplomas

Probably the largest attendance and
most successful management ever no.
lced In connection with the gradua-
ton exercises of the training school of
the local hospital was manifest at the
exercises held at the High School aud
itorium last evening.
Two graduates of the school were
given their diplomas during the exer-
clses, which We're most successful in
every detail. The program. as an
nounced in Sundays issue of The
Times-Recorder, was carried out in
full, with large number of friends
of the young lady graduates present to
witness them.
Splendid tributes were paid to the
work of the graduates and to the work
that is being accomplished by the in
stitution which they represent The
two graduates were Misses Magdaline
M. McMath and Rosa Lee Morgan.
The increased interest taken in the
work of the training school and the
hospital, as shown by the attendance
and enthusiasm Of the audience last
night is most gratifying to those who
are working for the institution and for
the benefit of the construction fund
for the new building.

AMERICAN RUSH
OUT OF MEXICO
President Taft'S Advice AC-
CeptGd as Good

Laredo, Tex, March About
seventy-fve Americans, mostly women
and children, passed through here to-
day from Mexico, en- route north. Some
of them expressed alarm over the
Mexican situation, but others said
their only reason for leaving was that
their husbands forced them to go.
There is an unconfrmed rumor here
that twenty American families will
leave Monterey today bound for the
United States.
The refugees seen today said thai
in the cities generally good order pre-
walls, but that in the country ranches
and very small villages are being at
tackled Robbery appears to be the
motive of most of the attacks.
Todays rush of Americans home
ward is in part due to President
Taft's warning of Saturday, although
there has hardly been time for many
Americans to reach here yet. The
exodus was fairly heavy before the
presidents admonition.

WILL BETTER PROTECTION
Be GIVEN TO THE CITY?
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS WILL MEET TONIGHT TO CONSIDER THAT MATTER
AND TO ELECT POLICE FORCE FOR The YEAR THAT DATES FROM APRIL

The Board of Police Commissioners
of Americus will hold its annual meet
ing tonight at the city hall and among
other matters for consideration will
be the probable increase in the num-
Der of policemen, and also the election
of the entire police force, this cleo
ton dating from April 1st.
This meeting is an important one,
more especially for the men now serv-
ing upon the force as we'll as for those
who may file applications for such po-
sitions.
The commissioners now serving are
Mayor J. e. Mathis, ex-officio; Messrs.
j. J. Holiday, George Oliver, w. C.
Sullivan and A. T. oliver.
1t is understood that an effort may
be made to put on additional police
men, as demanded by the growth OF
the city, and to the end that more ade-
quate protection be afforded both in
the residence and business districts
At present the force consists of fiv,
men, including the chief and lieuten,
ant.
During the night hours, after Oh
10 O'Clock, and until morning, onl.
two men are on duty and these are ex
pected to care for the protection of tn,

would seem to accentuate the demand
for an increased force.

ILLINOIS MAN SAYS ALL We NEED
is TO ADVERTISE SUMTER COUNTY
Believes Young Ambitious Western Farmers Could Easily
Be Moved This Way

Two years ago, while Mr.. Frank
Sheffield was touring the West in COM
pany with Mr.. Frank Harold, while
the train was up in the Winnipeg Sec
ton they became casually acquainted
with a fellow traveller on the train, a
Mr.. Rhodes, of Toulan, Ill.
Mr.. Rhodes was a successful far
mer of his section, a farmer of the
type who make farming pay AS they
travelled together he commented on
the fact that many farmers were leav-
ing Illinois and sister states of that
section, lead by the we'll advertised
cheap lands of the Canadian North
west, and were locating in and rapid
ly developing the country to the north
of the border.
I'VE never hear of Georgia up here, +"
said the Illinois man. "Of course, We
know that Georgia is on the map, and
presume that it is a prosperous state
but it is never brought to our atten-
tion as a place for homeseekers to go
to. All we hear is of the Northwest
and Canada and many of our young
and ambitious men follow the line of
advertising and cast in their fortunes
with these new sections. Now if Geor-
eia was as we'll advertised by the
railroads as these other sections are
neir attention would be directed that
way and they might move to the
South"
When they separated the two Ameri7
Gus men invited the Western man to
come South some time and see for
himself what Georgia really is. Satur-
day he came. A few days before that
letter was received from Miami, Fla,
stating that he was on trip to Cuba.
A cordial invitation was extended to
him to come to Americus. He accept
ed 1t and is now the guest Of Mr..
Frank Harold. ~
Although Mr.. Rhodes reached Amer
icus in the most unpropitious spring
season in many years, when farming
operations are thirty to sixty days be-
hind what they were last year, he still

called, officer John Bragg shot at a
burglar who had entered the store OF
the Mcleod Grocery Co., and while the
bullet missed the mark, the shooting
appears to have had a salutary effect
upon the gang that has been operat-
ing recently in Americus, causing
them to quit business for one week, at
least. The identity of the thieves who
have pillaged stores and dwellings
here for month past is still unknown
to the police, despite efforts made to
ferret the cases reported.
