Departmental.

Agriculture by winning from Navy
pulled up on even terms with the Sailors.
Both teams have percentage Of 1861, but
the advantage seems to be in Nays
favor. as they have bowled three games
less than the Farmers, and a clean sweep
of their postponed set with War would
give them q one-game lead.
Outside of their first game, the Bureau
bunch shot some very classy tenpins.
Those last two games were away over
the 900 mark. AS 1t was they tied with
the Aggies for high set of the week.
Piling up 1901 in their second attempt,
the Agriculture posted high sam for the
season in the league With any kind of
a count in the first game they would also
have broken high set mark. Jimmy Field
as usual led his team in total pms.
Seems like every time the Warriors
strike q good stride the other team goes
crazy and they are nosed out on some
big games. Losing with 901 and S64 is
pretty tough when, it is taken into con-
sideration that the team averages fail
to reach this mark.

PAUL REvERE's BOWLING.

With Apologies to Longfellow.
Listen. howlers. and you shall hear.

How he put the Manhattans to rout:
! Twas the greatest bowling seen that year.
Now. the home of Clayton. Bennett and Bum,
Carroll. Baum, Field and Allison
In bowling. epic has oft been sung.
But not even krauss the only and great.
Could have put up and kept the terrific gait
The championship q OF Washington.
In a scrap for the District championship.
But the Broadwayites began their practice toe
late,
So the game didn't start till half past eight.
And Paul Revere was dreaming away.
When the score keepers said, Are you ready
to play?"
On. on, they bowied meath the silver moon. ;,
With Paul Revere away from the fight
And-the gallery gathering groaned in woe,
While sad wall dubbed from Boosters row.
But stop Hist! Hearken, and likewise wait,
What name Is that now the slate!
What means that cry Of man dead sore:
Am I too late? Say, how's the scorer
And echo answered from far and near,
AS the Boosters shouted, There's Paul Revere.
Oh. how sweetly that moon did shine
He woke up the gallery from its trance
He made the Boosters get up and dance
He jost ed the Manhats with robust shout,
Until they bliudy staggered about;
He whooped and he camored all over the door
Til the Continentals had tied up the score.
Now, in this part of the dope recooked.
Are the facts which history has overlooked,
How Paul Revere in the tenth that might
Suddenly ended the hot and close fight
With only a spare needed to win;
He hit them perfect, between one and three pin
But 10 and behold, what's this We see,
Eighteen! Great guns. how can, that be?
Spectacular shots may come and go,
In the history OF times swift ebb and dow,
But never again will there be won
| match game like that great one.
And as long as the old game lasts you'll hear
OF the man who made eighteen, George Pau
Scharf Revere.

JACKSON C0NVICTS PLOT
TO DYNAMITE PRISON
Detectives, In Guise of FeIons, un.
earth Conspiracy and Fix Guilt
for Recent Fire.

jackson, Mich, Nov. 11.-Prison Of
ficials at the state penitentiary here
momentarily expect a dynamite ex.
plosion which will wreck the walls of
the institution and make possible a
gigantic Jail delivery. Detectives of
the William j. Burns agency, 1t was
learned, have uncovered a plot where
by the prison was to be dynamited on
Thanksgiving day while the inmates
were assembled at their turkey din
ner, and a rush for freedom was to
have been made.
Detectives were sent for imme-
diately after the burning of the binder
Irvine plant few weeks ago. Only
the warden and Governor Osborn
knew their identity. They were
treated exactly as were the prisoners,
and it did not require long for them
to learn what was going on inside the
prison.
They found clues which fix beyond
possibility of doubt the responsibility
for the fire. 1t was while working
on this plot that they stumbled on
the conspiracy to dynamite the prison
buildings.
Seven convicts we're taken before
the warden, charged with burning the
twine warehouse and conspiring to
dynamite the prison, and were sent to
Detroit for further examination

Clerks ]. M. Chamberlain and c. A.
Hoover reported to Post Inspector
Brannon that two masked men robbed
the mali car on the south bound Louis
Vile & Nashville passenger train No.

The bandits were young men and
evidently amateurs. They overlooked
many valuable articles. 1t is not

cured. One report was that the loot
amounted to $4,000 cash They
ripped open a registered mail pouch
and scattered packages over the car.
They left lying on the floor, several
thousand dollars worth of railroad
stock coupons.
The robbers are believed to have
boarded the train secretly at Blount
Springs. When the train pulled out
of the station they asked the mail
clerks for something to eat, and on
refusal quickly covered the clerks
with revolvers and demanded money

San Francisco, Nov. 1L-With sew
enty-nine small precincts to hear from,
the vote of California on president is
as follows: Roosevelt 281, 1853; Will
son, 280.61S. Roosevelt's plurality,
751.
The totals were compiled from cor
rected official returns from the coun-
ty seats. The 70 precincts remaining
unreported are all in remote regions.
1t is probable that the vote of many
of them will not be known before the
official canvass.
Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE unofficial
count of the total vote for president
in Illinois shows that Wilson OBJ
tanned 407,47O votes, Roosevelt 391.-
365, and Taft 256,625.
Wilson's plurality was 16,105, but
he lacked 1901 votes of majority.
The estimated vote for Debs was
$4,000 and for Chain $4,000.
The total vote was about 1,175,000,
almost the same as in 1908, when Taft
polled 629.929 and Bryan 450,795.

fore, there was but scant handful Of
personal friends to say goodby to the
defeated candidate If there was any
sadness, however, it was not felt by
the chief executive, who laughed and
chatted as gayly as he ever did be-
fore election Indeed, it appeared as
though a great load had been taken
from his shoulders, and bystanders re-.
called the reluctance with which he.
had been forced into public life, and,
prophesied that never again would he
return to the arena of a national
election.
