The clowns of the diamond have

Two of the players who made

With his enthusiasm and knowl-
edge of the game, he was able to
get the best results out of his team.
"Tich" was the originator of the
Jersey stunt" made famous by the

later years, BY sticking the ball
under his jersey he made a touch
lown against Vanderbilt in '95.
These were the days of flying
wedges and the hidden ball was a
very profitable stunt when per-
formed by a skillful player under
over of the wedge.
"Tich's" closest rival in those days
vas Ed HuguIey. now of West
Point, Ga. He was rated as a great
player and of tremendous speed,
though very light.
Another great halfback in those
days was Billy Williams. now in

 Dollar Estate

Mobile, November 4-(Special )-To make a fight for what they claim is their share of a million dollar estate, three Mo- biians will leave the city Tuesday morn ing for Port Gibson, Miss, where their suit to break the will of their uncle, Jacob Bernheimer. will be tried. The nephews and niece are Sidney Lowen- stein, Aaron Lowenstein, Maurice Lowen- stein, who will go to Port Gibson, and Mrs. Louis Forcheimer. Maurice Bern heimer. brother of Jacob Bernheimer of Port Gibson, is also contending for share of the estate.
 The nephews and niece claim that Jacob Bernheimer, who left his entire fortune to his brother, Sidney Bernheimer, and his sister, Mrs. Nicholas Scharif of St. Louis, made his will under stress of undue in- fiuence and that he was mentally incap- able of disposing of his property. Suit was brought last November but because Sidney Bernheimer, named in. the will, fell dead, it was dropped temporarily.
 Messrs. Sidney, Aaron and Maurice Lowenstein of this city are nephews or Jacob Bernheimer, their mother, Mrs. Clara Lowenstein, having been the sister of Jacob Bernheimer Maurice Bernheimer, the other contestant, was brother of Jacob Bernheimer, whv was left out of the will also.
 The legal battle promises to be one of the most strenuously fought in recent years in the courts of Mississippi.

Salem. Mass November 4.--That mill itiamen and policemeh made no effort to prevent the attacks upon street cars in Lawrence on the morning of Jan uary 29 and that the cars were be- sieged by an organized of about 20 men, was the testimony today of Leo Ready, one of the textile strikers, at the trial of Ettor. Giovannitti and Ca ruso for the murder of Anna To- pizzo.
 Ready declared he was near the scene of the riot that morning and that the strikers were peaceful. 'I saw this gang of 20 men go up and down the streets" said Ready. They were armed with clubs with which they smashed the windows of tho cars. Some of them threw chunks of ice The policemen on the street made no att tempt to stop them. Neither did tho soldiers"
 Did you see the police when the windows were being smashed?" asked Attorney George Roewer, Jr.
 .sYes, several times" said Ready. T saw one of this gang come up toward the curb and stoop to pick up a chunk of ice. One of his pals said to him, there's a cop and he said. to h-- with the cop, and let the chunk of ice drive at the car window. The po- liceman made no effort to arrest him"
 Several Lawrence women and children workers testified that police and militia men clubbed strikers. One told of the stabbing of a 14-year-old boy by sol dier.
 Thomas Holiday, who was one of the American members of the strike commit tee, testified that he never heard Ettor urge violent action. The witness quoted one of Ettor's speeches to the strikers as follows:
 "The greatest power of the working people is when they do nothing and re- main absolutely quiet with their arms folded. As soon as you fold your arms there will be one to build automobiles for the rich. Then will yolt have the capi- talist class at your mercy and be on the way to victory.
 Already we have accomplished here what 1000 years of Christianity have not done. We have brought together in one body the Italian and the Turk, the Frenchman and the German. the English man and the Irishman. Stand together solidly; let there be no violent uprising, and we will win"

Burns, the detective commissioned by Colonel Roosevelt to ferret out election frauds for the publication of an adver- tisement alleged to be false and mis- leading.'

WOOD MURDER ID BE PR0bED TOMORROW Governor May Employ Spe- cial Counsel to Prosecute
 Will Oakley

Montgomery, November 4.-(Special.) Still incensed at the killing which oc- cured at the state capitol on last Thursday, Governor O'Neal is cons,d ering the advisability of employing special counsel to represent the state at the trial of Will G. oakley, the slayer of F. A Wood of St. Clair county.
 The governor feels that the killing was an affront to every member of the states government. having been com mitted across the hallf from his office. and in a room made sacred by many important historical traditions and in cidents.
 Probably the governor will not de- eide on the employment of special counsel to prosecute Oakley until af- tel the investigation of the grand jury, which will take place on Wednes- day. The case will be tried immediate ly, the governor having made spe- cial request that all possible haste he pursued in disposing of the matter. He feels that the dignity of the state has been insulted and that the speed fer the trial the better He announced Monday that he was of the opinion that he would employ special counsel to assist the district attorney in prosecuting Oakley and it is not probable that he will change his mind.
