favor of Brown. Crowther, who was a
halfback last year, is now playing
quarterback.

Another Strange Murder Case In New

big jack Zelig, a notorious East
side thug, who was expected to be an
important witness for the state In the
trial Of Police Lieut.. Charles Becker in
the Rosenthal murder case, was shot
and killed on a Second avenue street
car in New York Saturday night. His
assailant was a fruit dealer named Phil
ip Davidson, who was quickly captured.
Davidson says that earlier in the day
Zelg enticed him into a doorway, beat
him with blackjack and robbed him
of more than $500. Bruises on David
sons head substa inflated the story OF a
beating. The weapon used by Davidson
was a police revolver which a patrol
man in Brooklyn says he lost some time
ago. The police found about $500 in
Zelig's clothes after the body had been
taken to the morgue. Rosenthal was
murdered just before he was expected
to give the district attorney testimony
showing the connivance Of the police
and gambling interests. and Zelig was
killed shortly before the time when he
would have been called to- testify
against Lieut.. Becker. whose trial be-
gan Monday.

Referee Factor In the Result.

Referee Factor In the Result.
The Brattleboro high school bootball
team lost its first game Of the season
Saturday, being beaten H-7 by Stevens
high school in Claremont. The referee,
a Claremont man. was a big factor in
the result, making decisions that were
out of his Jurisdiction, and penalizing
Brattleboro severely. On one occasion
when Brattleboro had made first down
and was within striking distance, the
referee sent the boys back Is yards,
compelling them to try a forward pass,
which proved failure. But for this de-
cision there would have been a good
opportunity to tie the score. The teams
were closely matched and the contest
was hard fought all the way. Both sides
fence Brattleboro in the first period
received the ball on the kick-off and by
end runs and line plunges carried 1t up
the field for a touchdown without once
losing 1t. Claremont also scored in this
period on very similar tactics. Clare
monts second scoring came in the last
period of the last half, the gains being
made almost wholly on forward passes
which the Brattleboro backs failed to
intercept, as they were drawn too close
to the line on the plays. On the whole
Brattleboro did not show the good team
work that was noticeable in the previous
games. The local boys who were partic-
ularly conspicuous in good playing were
Wheeler, Haskell, Crosby, Bingham and
Cook The latter, toward the close OF
the game, was breaking through the
line on almost every play.
The old rivals of Brattleboro, YER

Between four and five thousand

that the site at Magnolia Bluff was
preferable on account OF the high al

proximity to the street car line as well

Considerable secrecy is maintained
regarding the movement of the troops
and those who know the purpose OF
the mobilization have nothing to say
in explanation. The date of the arrival
of the troops is also as much a secret

is the presumption that the men Will

Peling, Feb. 1z.-After occupying
the throne Of China for nearly three
centuries the Manchu dynasty repre-
scented by the child emperor, Pu Pi,
abdicated today. Three edicts were
issued, the first proclaiming the alb
dication, the second dealing with the
establishment Of the republic, and the
third urged the maintenance of peace
and the approved conditions agreed
upon by the imperial premier, Yuan
Shi Kai, and the republicans. The
publication of the edicts have. given
profound relief to everyone in Peking,
both the foreigners and Chinese.
The nrst edict provides the terms to
be communicated to the foreign lega-
tions for transmission to their govern
menks, the object being to record
world wide the republican pledges.
IN consideration for the abdication the
republicans made eight pledges to the
emperor as folioTs. The emperor shall
retain his title ard be respected as a
foreign monarch; the emperor shall
receive an annual grant of four million
taels until the currency is reformed.
and after that he shall receive four

New York, Feb. l2.-The recent an

the discovery that the financier has

wide range and enormous value OF

Mr.. MofgaR's London collections are
estimated at more than 10000, 900 in
value: his New York treasures fully
twice as much. Paintings and art OBJ
jects lent to museums swell the esti-
mated fund by s1O,00O, 900, while an
equal sum, 1t is believed, is not an ex-

DIRECTORS MUST
MEET EXAMINERS
Those of National Banks Must Be
Present at Every Examination TO
Discuss Loans and Discounts.
Rv Assoclated press.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Comptroller
of the Currency Murray today ordered
that boards Of directors of national
banks hereafter shall meet the federal
bank examiners at every examination
to discuss the affairs of the institu
tions. especially their loans and dis
counts. In the large cities where the
assembling of the directors may cause
considerable inconvenience the exam
iners have been authorized to use
their discretion in enforcing the new
order unless some condition is found
in the bank deserving criticism.
In trying out the spirit of this regu
lation, the comptroller today advised
about SEQ banks located in various
parts of the country that their course
in recently electing as a majority OF
their boards directors who are not
residents of the places where the
banks are located was objectionable
The directors he said. are not
conveniently available for monthly
business meetings: they cannot be
readily convened should urgent neces~
sity arise; and they cannot meet the
national bank examiner when the bank
is examined"
