 Vanderbilt's runaway scores are get ting to be azhabit. Saturday, they de- feated Rose Tech 54 to 0. This makes a total of 25s points for the Commo- dores this season against the three of their opponents. And in facing Rose Tech, McGuginss warriors were up against a machine of no mean calibre.

 CHICAGO CUBS IN A FIERCE CON TE T
OTHER RESULTS BRING NO SUR- PRISES-MISSISSIPPrS PROS- PECTS ARE PRACTICALLY NIL. WHILE GEORGIA, VANDY AND AUBURN RANK AS BEST

Coach Heisman's Yellow Jackets threw surprise into the camp of the Crimson warriors of the University of Alabama Saturday when the Tech crew defeated the Crimson aggregation at Tech Flats by score of 21 to 3. Ala bama possessed more weight than Tech. and had as a whole a more experi- enced team, but they were bewildered by the Tech formation and showed themselves unable to anaIysize the op- posing foremost pass plays with any de- gree of success.
 A Blow to Alabama
 The defeat at the hands of Tech Is blow to the hopes of the State Uni. versity force winning eleven this sea- son. Tech, when they played Ala bama, was perhaps the weakest squad that the, Crimson will meet this sea- son with the exception of Mississippi Alabama may regain the ground lost and make a creditable showing in the remaining games, but it will take a lot of hard work on the part of the Crim- son warriors coupled with a bit of ex- ceedingly efficient coaching on the part

 No Other Surprises
 The Alabama Tech result was, per- haps, the only surprise in the south Saturday, the other southern colleges winning or losing pretty much as ex- pected.
 The overwhelming defeat of the Uni versity of Mississippi at the hands of l.. s. U. was to be expected. On ac count of the finding of several of the Mississippi players ineligiable, pros poets at old Miss. are practically nil this season. They will do well to att tGch a single scalp to their belts this season.
 The University of Florida put up a rather strong fight against Auburn
 
 the contest by a score of 27 to 13. How ever this result does not indicate that the Auburn lads are weak this sea- son. Florida is a more or less un- known quantity in the football world and their good showing Saturday speaks more for their strength than for Auburns weakness. Students of the game are not loath to admit that Au- burn is to have one of the best squads in the south this season. At present it looks that they are second only to Vanderbilt, with Georgia strong third. When Auburn and Vanderbilt meet in Birmingham on November 23, the fight for the south's championship will in all probability be decided.

WHITE METh0DISTS WANT NEGRO BISHOP No Election on Fourth Bal
 lot-Jones (Colored) Has
 294 Votes s-234 Cast By
 Whites.

Minneapolis, May 1S-No election re- suited from the fourth ballot for bish- op, announced in the Methodist Gen eral Conference today.
 Ballots cast, 790; necessary to choice, 526 The leaders were:
 w. o. Shepherd, Chicago, 48e; M. s. Hughes, California, 362: D. G. Dow ney, Chicago. $50; M. Luccock, Kan sas City. 3a0; R. J. Cook. s16; F. J. Mcconnell, Indiana, s14; R. B. Jones. (colored), Atlanta, Ga, 294; Andrew Giles, Minneapolis, 275; W. s. Craw ford, Pennsylvania, 267; Franklin Hamilton. Washington, D. C., 247.
 A significant thing about the vote for R. E. Jones is that it holds about even at the figures given, although officially the conference has decided against colored bishop. There are only about 60 colored delegates in the conference so the Jones vote is in a way an expression of insurgency on the part of some 230 white delegates. Dr. Shepherds vote shows gains that promise to elect him on the fifth bal lot taken today.

 Great Speech

Bowling Green, O., May 1S-Carry- ing his fight for Republican National delegates from California into the battling ground of the President and ex-President, Senator Robert M. La Toilette delivered his first speech in the Ohio primary campaign here, last night. He went to Columbus, today, and will speak there, tonight.
 LaFollette has no Ohio organization and Is seeking the election of dele gates pledged to him in only the 9th, 18th, 20th and 21st Congressional dis .trict. These include Toledo, Colum- bus and Cleveland.
 Fully 5000 persons heard him, last night, when he referred to President Taft as an ''amiable, easy-going, fat man" and denounced Colonel Roose- Welt, as the violator of an oath ot office sworn on "the same Bible Lin- coin kissed"
 He scored both Taft and Roosevelt for dragging" the honor of the Pres idency into the 'mire" of personal villification.
 Roosevelt, he charged, allowed hun dreds of illegal combinations to be formed after he had sworn as Presi- dent to enforce the Sherman law which forbade them.
 LaFollette here repeated his charge made in Chicago, yesterday, that a fund of one million dollars had been raised to nominate Roosevelt by Geo. w. Perkins, Judge Gary, Hanna and other trust magnates.

LAWYER FLANNERY
 WHO MADE FORTUNE D|SBARRED AT LAST

New York, May 1s-Joseph A. Elan nery, the lawyer who has made for tune in condemnation and assessment proceedings in the last fifteen years and against whom the Bar Associa- tion brought charges three years ago involving improper conduct in many condemnation proceedings in which he appeared, was disbarred yesterday by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.
 Presiding Justice Ingraham, who wrote the opinion, in which all the Justices concurred. said that Flannery testified that during the period covered by the investigation into his facts he represented thousands of clients, and at least 90 per cent. of his business was dependent upon what he recover ed for his clients from the condemna- tion of their property. In many of the cases the client was not to be liable for any costs
 He remarks that where the ques- ton as to the value of property about to be condemned depends upon the the opinion of experts rather than upon actual values there are many opportunities for an attorney who is interruptions or willing to- take ad- vantage of his client to obtain con- tracts which are out of all proportion to the value of the services rendered or to acquire the property himself from his client at a much less price than will probably be the award for ito
 The court says that the only safe- guard for clients is that attorneys be held strictly to good faith between themselves and their clients, and it is only by the exercise of the disci- binary powers over the profession rights of the public and property owners can be protected.
 Since the .F1annery investigation be- gan a new law has been enacted throwing upon the Appellate Division increased responsibility in it's desci- plinary powers over the profession says the court. This law, passed at the last session of the Legislature. adds to the previous statute provid- ing for punishing an attorney direc- tion that the court censure, suspend or disbar any attorney who is guilty of "any conduct prejudicial to the ad- miniStratiOn of juStice."

DEBS NAMED
 FOR PRESIDENT
 BY SOCIALISTS

Indianapolis, May 1S.-With the national ticket complete and the party platform out of the way, the Socialist National Convention got down to business an hour and a half ahead of time, today.
 The leaders were insistent that they would force final adjournment not later than Sunday night and possibly by midnight tonight but so far the rank and file of the delegates have run the convention just as they pleas ed.
 This was proba bly, best exemplified in the nomination of Eugene V. Debs, of Terre Haute. The majority of the bosses were against Debs. This was noticeably so in the case of Morris Hilquit, the New York lawyer, and Victor Berger, Milwaukee's Congress man. But when it came to casting the vote the appeals of the intellec- tuals in the bosses had no effect. The rank and file wanted Debs and long before the roll call was completed it was plain that he was the choice of two-thirds of the delegates.
