York's Death May Stir Up
Anti-Football Agitators.
PRACTICE SUSPENDED UNTIL
AFTER FUNERAL OF DE-
CEASED PLAYER
Special to New Orleans Item.

| Special to New Orleans Item.
New Haven, Ct., Oct. 81. The
death from pneumonia of Thoo
dore York, right guard of the
| Yale football team, following his
injury in the Yale West Point
game, probably will bring ur
prominently again in many Am
erican colleges the question oi
bolishlng football. The Yale
coaches have suspended practice
until after York's funeral, and
the scheduled game with Colgate
next Saturday has been Cancelled.
York played smashing game a.
gainst West Point, and was pick
ed by the Yale coaches at the
time as a likely all-American Sc
lection.
Upon his return to New Haven
he was sent to the intirmary be
cause of injuries believed at the
time to be slight. 1t was an
nOunced that he was suffering
from torn ligaments at the end
of his colarbOne and a bad ab.
sess on the arm. He had not
been in the lnfirmary long when
pneumonia developed, and yes
terday it was announced that he
would not be allowed to return
to the game this fall. TUESDAY
night York's condition became
alarming, and late in the evening
he became unconscious, his death
following soon after.
York was twenty years Of age.
and came from Philadelphia.
His, IS the first death among Yale
football players since George
Watkinson, halfback died {
pneumonia IN 1885.
sThe football interest Of the
country can establish colleges Of
their own and not be dependent
upon the support Of the several
colleges throughout the coun-
try"

Smith-Lewis

That "Love laughs a t lock-

apt adage, was exemplified Tu.
esday, when Mr.. j. B. Smith of
West Point, and Miss Stella Lew
is, a student of the I. I. & G..
were the principals in the incl
dent. 1t appears that the pa
rents Of the young lady we're op.
posed to her marrying on &C.
count of her tender. age-seven-
teen.
Smith decided that as the pa
rents so strenuously objected he
would get her any way. Monday
night he visited the I. INC. at
Columbus where thefair girl was
a student. Byprevious engage
ment. the young lady met him
and both caught the first train
to West Point, and on Tuesday
came to Starkville On the 8
O'Clock [. G. train. The circuit
court clerk, M. r. Fulgham, was
called on and marriage license
was issued. Procuring Rev. L.
Nabor of the NJ E. church circuit,
all repaired to The Central Hotel.
Hardly had the last words Of the
marriage rites escaped the lips
Of the minister when the I. G..
passenger train going north blew
a blast for the station, The ho-
tel hack In which the couple was
to ride to the depot was gone.
Seeing the predicament, b
groom's brother. J. A. Smith,
hastily, got a passing automobile
and rushed to the depot and tie
newly-weds just did get on the
train as it was moving off. They
will reside. at West Point.

Johnson Banned
By His Own Race
.MississippiNegroes Denounce
PugiIist AS The Cause
of Race Strife.


meeting Of the Friendship Bap-
tist church of this place on Tu-
esday night the negroes adopted
resolutions against Jack John
son, the negro prize fighter,
claiming that Johnson was Cap
able Of STIRRING up strife be
tween the races all oyer the coun-
try
This resolution which was pre-
sented by Rev. FL. W. Scott,
Prof. E. L. Richardson and Rev
S. 2. Brown, and unanimously
adopted, is as follows;
1--WE do openly and uncompro-
misingly condem Jack Johnson,
who is making trouble for him
self and the entire race by seek
ing a wife in the white race, and
We urge our people every
where to unite their forces in get
ting rid of all such characters as
Jack johnson among our people.
"We ask that our white friends
of the South cooperate with US
in trying to keep our people out
of the large cities and towns; to
establish good homes ia the coun-
try, ETC.; that the negroes be sat
isfed TO stay on the farm and
make a decent living.
Let the negro press and the
negro preachers unite IN advis-
ing against the wholesale i'm
portation Of Southern girls to
the large Northern cities, for 10
many cases organized deadbeats
and moral perverts meet these
girls at the stations and lure
them into dens of vice."
The Southern people have al
ways been the negroes friends,
and as they are now beginning
to realize it, it is the duty Of the
white people every where to give
them the best assistance and ad-
vice possible. The suggestions
made by them in the resolutions
are the best that could be formu-
lated and most applicable, a solu
ton, so to speak, that would
brlug about a most happy state
Of affairs. The negro is alright
if left alone from mean design
ing men, such as the carpet bag
ger, who came here before the
. reconstruction days and brought
about ruin and chaos. They are
with US and we sincerely trust
that the scales have fallen from
their eyes and know that the
white Southern man has stood
closer to them than any other
people and will continue to do SO
throughout, if they will endeavor
to carry out the spirit of the a.
above resolutions. apd in them
believe them TO be sincere.
