and was Tie.
WIN BY SMALL MARGIN, 13 TO IA

The local high school foot ball
team managed to defeat the Iowa
Falls squad on the latter's grounds
Saturday afternoon by the small
margin of one point, the difference
being in the superior toe work of
Berggren over that of Smallbridge.
The final score was IA to 13.
Saturdays session was the hard
est and most sensational that the
locals have appeared in this season.
as spurts ON either side made the
game very uncertain at all times
Had it not been for the two perfect
goals kicked by Berggren and the
almost wonderful broken field run
ming of Daniels, coupled with the
line work of Meller and Kelly and
Sam" Sterling, the score would
have been another tie.
Berggren of the locals received
the kick and the ball was landed in
midfleld where, after seven minutes
of hard struggle, Maxon of the home
squad managed to obtain the first
count. Berggren kicked goal. Be-
fore the tapping of the second quar-
ter call could be heard, the Iowa
Falls squad had also pushed the
oval over their line. Smallbridge
kicked a good goal and the score was
even. The second quarter found both
teams working as hard as in the
opening but neither managed to
change their side of the count. In
this quarter the strong line plung-
ing of Helmick and the brilliant
work of Kelly gave ample cause for
much enthusiasm. The third quart
er netted the Iowa Falls bunch their
second touch down, but the goal
kick was wide. After Iowa Falls Sc

SENATOR CUMM|NS
MAKES STATEMENT
Says Republican Party Will Win i
it Heeds the Lesson of Recent
Election. ..,

Senator Cummins is out in a
statement and at least two-thirds of
those who supported Roosevelt at
the polls will agree with his con-
clusions. He took issue with the
sentiments expressed by Gov. Car
roll.
eyes," said the senator, in reply
to question by a reporter for The
Register and Leader, Il read the in
terview with Governor Carroll in
which he gave his view Of the po-
iitical situation. and his reasons for
the overwhelmingly defeat of, the re-
publican party. He Is superficial.
He might just as well have said that
Taft was beaten because he did not
get enough votes. The question that
ought to interest every thinking
man is, why did so many people who
fundamentally are of the republican
faith refuse to vote for him? The
answer to the inquiry is not hard to
find. The great majority of the vot-
ers of this country do not believe in
the men who forced Taft's nomina-
tion and any party that puts men
of their type in positions of leader
ship cannot win, and ought not to
win.
1--WE might as we'll face the issue
and fight it out. An overpowering
proportion of the republican party
is in favor of legislation and poll
cies that will attempt at least to
curb the influence and lessen the
profits of that element in our indus
trial and financial development
which has come to be known as the
Interests. If the legislation and
policies of the republican party are
to be committed to the crowd re-
sponsible for Mr.. Taft everybody
knows that no advance will be
made, and the people will no long
er entrust such men with power.
These men knew at Chicago that
Taft's nomination meant the down
fall of the republican party. They
deliberately chose that alternative
and their crocodile tears over the
result will not deceive anybody.
"The party is essentially sound
and if It's members have tie cour'
age and energy to put the apphca'
ton OF its upright. just and patri
otic principles into the hands o
men who are in sympathy with the
rank and file of humanity and wht
are willing to incur, when neces
sary, the disfavor of the pirates wht
are amassing dishonest fortunes
then the party will rise triumphant
| ly from the disaster 1t has just ex
perienced; otherwise 1t is down ant
out for good. /, for one, believe !
will come up again in full strength
and honor"

STEEL BUSINESS
IN GOOD SHAPE

An eastern authority sums up the
steel situation at the moment as fol-
lows:
The steel companies have sufficient
bushes son their books to warrant the
statement that activity, SO far as pro-
duction is concerned, will continue for
the next six months. The mills are on
Grating to full capacity. and specifca-
lions against existing contracts con-
tinue brisk.
Orders since the first Of December
have been coming In fairly well. con-
sidering the season OF the year. but, in
the aggregate, they show a falling of
compared with October and November.
In this connection, however. 1t would
seem that the United States Steel cor
poration is getting more business than
the Independents. The latter will re-
port a falling OF in unified tonnage,
whereas the steel corporation for the
month of December is likely to show
an increase.

$50 far as prices are concerned no
changes of consequence are expected
within the next few months Consun-
RS have been buying their stel on a ris-
ing price basis. and manufacturers will
do everything they can to protect these
buyers In other words, 1t is not like
ly they would sell steel to belated pur-
chasers at prices below the quotations
that have prevailed over the last four
months.
There is a difference of opinion az
to the showing the steel companies will
make in the matter of tonnage for the
first quarter Of next year. Certain
manufacturers look for a falling off,
due to pending tariff legislation and
the traditional lull following a heavy
period OF buying. 1t must be remem-
bered that the United States Steel COR
poration as well as the independent
companies, has more business on its
books than at any time in the history
of the steel industry, and that a lull
after the heavy buying which has been
months, would be quite natural. In

ton, so far as its application to steel
duties is concerned. manufacturers

ACCUSED
F|REbUG
ARRESTED

Sergeant Mike German of the East
Chicago police department has gone TO
Springfi field. Mo-. to bring back TO this
city John Latusiewicz tailor who un-
til a short while ago conducted n tailor
shop at Melville avenue and One Hun
dred and Forty-ninth street. but who on
Monday last took French leave. leaving
in his wake a number of worthless
checks for which he had received cash
from various sources.
There is a double charge against
Latusiewicz, that of passing forged
checks and arson. 1t is alleged that
twice within the past thirty days the
tailor was guilty of setting fire to his
place of business. with a hope of realiz-
ing on the insurance. The first time
the blaze was put out by police off
Ger and the second time the fire depart
ment was called to the scene of the
blaze.
In each instance evidences of the
work Of the fire bug were manifested
by the presence of quantities OF oil
oaked rags and other debris which had
been conveniently disposed to feed the
fame Failing in this and evidently
wishing to get away from Oklahoma,
by fair means or foul. the tailor tried
the forged check route on which there
are always plenty of suckers. He man.
aged to pass between 5000 and 5000 OF
the worthless paper on buSness men OF
his neighborhood and then got out OF
town.
The East Chicago police trailed him
to Chicago and found that he had left
that city for Omaha. The Omaha po-
lice ascertained that a man answering
Latusiewicz's description had left Oma-
ha for Springfield, Mo-, and they wired
the polile department there, with the
result that the fugitive was soon In
custody. He has confessed his iden-
tity and will waive extradition.
The case was not easy one to han
die. and the local police are congratu-
lating themselves and the departments
who rendered them assistance on q
clever capture.
