In proportion To the number en-
ployed il will be found that the death
rate through accident in Cornish mines
is not so large as, say, fifty years ago.
But IL is still large one i'm spite of
all that legislation the Home Office,
Inspectors and the enlightened efforts
Of the officials and men themselves
seem conformity able to effect. Thus
within the last few days. we have had
two fatal accidents-one in Dolcoatil
and another in the Basset Mines due
to the same cause namely the falling
away of ground-one Of the most diff
ticult forms of danger undergrour1
that miners have to contend with.
The excavation of "A large quantity of
stun in any given area obviously
weakens that which is left above and
around and although the ground in
most instances is very carefully
watched. il is still true that falls take
place without warning Here is a realm
in which science may find scope for
the exercise of her benefcence.

LAST NIGHTS CONCERT.
Brilliant Musicale Given by Quar-
tette of Congregational
Church.

The concert given last night at the
Young Peoples Building by the quar-
tet of the Congregational Church OF
Washington for the First Baptist
Sunday School was in every way a
success, and was enjoyed by large
audience.
Miss Edna Scott Smiths interpret
alton of "Lieti Signor" from Lies
Hugenots" was enough in itself to
make the evening a success. "Oh
Ocean, Thou Mighty Monster" from
"Oberon" was we'll sung BY Mrs.
Smart.
Mr.. Whiddit's selection from Faust
"Salve! Dimora Casta E Pura" was
we'll received, and Kenneth Ogden's
rendering of Celeste Aida" gave ex-
cellent opportunity for the display OF
his always pleasing voice, and was
much enjoyed.
In the second part of the program
the "Famine Song" by the Quartet and
ain the Early, Pearly Morning" by
Mr.. Ogden were the two numbers that
by their excellence stood out from
the rest.
Mr.. Edwin Callow in his recitations
was exceptionally good, his limitation
of a Sermon" being gem both IN
composition and rendering.
The playing Of the accompaniment
showed the ability of Mr.. Whiddlt as
a musician, his work being of an or
der that Alexandria audiences rarely
have the good fortune to hear.
Following is the program:

TEDDY GRATEFUL
 FOR MANY INQUIRIES
In General Statement Ex- presses Gratitude to His
 Friends for Attentions

New York. october 27.-A general statement in behalf of Colonel Roose- velt express his gratitude to persons whose letters or telegrams in refer ence to the attack upon him in Mill waukee have remained unanswered. was issued today from the progressive national headquarters. It was as fol- lows:
 Colonel Roosevelt wishes to take this method of expressing his very deep appreciation of the multitude of letters and telegrams he has received since the shooting. The number was so very large, many thousands all told. that it was an impossibility for him to even attempt to acknowledge each individ- ually and while he has endeavored to have some answer sent to each, yet in inc confusion it is probable that some telegrams and letters have been mis- laid or that the addresses of the send CTS have not been found. He trusts that in any case where this has hap pened the sender will pardon the fail ure to answer in view of the circum- stances set forth above. He again wishes to state how grateful he Is for all these expressions of good will

CENTER'S PASS
 COST ALABAMA
 DESERVED WIN

The University of Alabama football team passed though Birmingham yester- day on their way back to Tuscaloosa from Columbus. where they played the University of Georgia eleven Saturday. The team shows little effects from the game. and all are considerably pleased with thelr showing against Georgia, al- though they regret very much the nuke that cost them a victory.
 It seems that after all 1t was not so much an error of judgment in calling a drop kick as 1t was a bad pass from the center that cost Alabama the game With only a few more minutes to play and with Alabama ahead and having the ball on their opponents 15 yard line, a drop Kick was not such a bad play to call, since Wilkerson had already booted the oval through the uprights once during the contest The play was comparative ly safe and is one that takes up quite a bit of time. Of course, 1t could not be figured that such a bad pass would be made at that stage of the game, and should the play fall, the Georgians, in the face of Alabama's defense. would have trouble in rushing the ball almost the entire distance of the field within the limited time to play.
 As 1t happened, however Riddles rot ten pass unbalanced the Alabama squad and before they could regain their shaken defensive ability Georgia had scored.

Philadelphia, October 7.-(Special)-Ai- though staggered by the crushing defeat received at the hands of Brown unlyer- sity last Saturday at Providence. Penn sylvania has by no means lost hope of a. still successful termination of the pres ent football season. Many old players are hastening to Franklin Field to aid in rounding the team in shape for the bal ance of the games. and if 1t is possible to overcome the weight and skill of our opponents by pluck and determination no stones will be left unturned to accomplish that result.
 The team on Saturday experienced one of these slumps that are likely to come to any team during a strenuous season, but with the faithful and enthusiastic backing of the entire student body, the constant care and tireless energy of Head Coach Andy Smith and his able as sistants, and the hard work of every member of the squad, there Is yet time to get together a team which will yet do credit to old Penn.
 While the game at Providence was & great disappointment to all Pennsyl- vania men, and the work of the team far from satisfactory, the reception given by the Brownonians. to the team and the 250 students who accompanied them was bright spot on an otherwise almost Joyless occasion.
 Good fellowship prevailed throughout

now famous McGugin machine was adopt ed as the Commodore emblem of victory in 1904. But the team of 1897 had de- feated all opponents and went into the struggle determined to win or know the reason why.
 Yet with this great team of veterans, Vanderbilt was only able to hold vir- gfnia to tie, and the wearers of the orange and blue were minus several of theiI stars who were unable to take part in this post season affair. When the teams lined up it was apparent that there would be little scoring. Virginia played eastern football as did Wander bilt, the latter being coached at the time by Bob Acton of Harvard
 The Chance to Win
 Only at one time was there a good chance for either team to win. Virginia had held Vanderbilt about the 20 yard line. Virginia tried several rushes with out any gain, then punted to their own 47 yard line, where the ball was heeled at an angle on the east side of the field Phil Connell, one of the greatest play CTS who ever donned moleskin, prepared to try for a field goal. He booted the ball beautifully, but the ball. which could easily have gone 60 yards, passed the uprights about two feet on the outside That ended the commodores' chances to score as time was called soon after and 15 years after Councils great eff fort an opportunity is given one of the greatest teams in Vanderbilt's history to wipe out the stain of two defeats and a tie
 However dimmed that memorable game may be by the haze of passing years, it stands out as the most bitterly contested football game ever played by two south ern elevens. No one will ever forget the desperation with which the linesmen charged, the backs plunged and the tack lers fairly goaded the runner into a pulp. It was clean, but the bitterness of rivalry was there. and unless we miss guess that this same eleven, composed of men who were children in 1897, will fight to the last ditch and if Vanderbilt wins it will be after the hardest strug- gle of thier careers.

PLAYERS NOW HAVE WELL
 ORGANIZED FRATERNITY

joined hands so that they may protest as a body. |
 Any other grievances are of minor im- portance. Naturally no attempt will be made to fix a wage scale. This would be too hard on the stars who are making their $S0O0 year If scale were adopted the shining lights would be compelled to accept the salary of an ordinary player. On the whole, the men are well paid,
 When Hans Wagner enrolled as a mem- Der of the fraternity the roster included the name of nearly every star In the two major leagues. The famous shortstop of the Pittsburg Pirates held off until he was convinced of the seriousness of pur- pose in the men behind the movement, and cognlzant of its worth he has cast his lot with the association. The only well known men who are not members are "Rube" Benton, the pitcher of the Cincinnati Reds: Eddie Plank of the Phil adelphia Athletics, and Shafer and Me- Cormck of the Giants. To date 2ss play CTS have joined the organization. and dozen more will be taken in during the coming week. Many of the young players in the two leagues have asked to join, but the directors have decided to admit to membership only those who have shown enough ability to earn regular berths with the teams.

JUDGE HINES WILL
 VOTE FOR WILSON Atlantian Will Not Follow Watson Into Bull Moose
 Ranks

Atlanta. October 27- Special. Ut is evident that prominent friends In Geor- gia of Thomas E. Watson are not go- ing to follow him into the camp of the bull moose. Nor are they going to doviate from the democratic ticket.
 Watson first announced that he would not support Woodrow Wilson. because the latter had joined the Knights of Columbus This statement of Watson's was proven to be unfounded. In that connection MT. Watson said he simply did not intend to vote at all, and would not try to influence his friends. Now he is in the camp of the big bull moose, according to the most recent announce ment in his publication, and will sup port Roosevelt for president
 Watson has had few more staunch friends Tn Georgia than Judge James K. Hines, we'll known Atlanta lawyer, political leader and special attorney for the state railroad commission. While Judge Hines has no word of criticism direct for Mir Watson he has made 1t emphatic that he does not propose to Join him In his latest political move.
 Judge Hines before the state presi- dential primary was an Underwood man, and voted for the Albanian. In dis cussing his attitude today, he said;
 Il am going 10 vote Tor woodrow Wilson. Everybody who participated in the presidential primary, should vote for the nominee of the party; he Is fin honor bound to do 1t. If Underwood had been nominated, his adherents would have expected and would have received the support of the Wilson men. The Wilson men have the same right 10 expect the support of those who were for MT Underwood. and 1t is gratifying to note that generally they are getting it.
 Beside the primary obligation, think Mir. Wilson will make a fine presi- dent. He is q leader among the pro- gressiyes, and has been nominated on Fl platform that is thoroughly demo- cratic and progressive
 He is a southern man and married a Georgia woman, an additional reason, other things being equal, why Geor- gians and the people of the south gen. orally should support him.
 "I am confident he Is going to be elected, and 1t seems to me that the people of Georgia and the south should stand solidly behind him."
