HOMAGE PAID TO
TOUCHDOWN MAN
WHOLESOME SPORT BEHIND PRIS-
ON WALLS NOW THE ORDER
IN IOWA.
COnyicts Enjoy Season Series of
Football and Other Excellent
Sports.

ANAMOSA, Iowa, Nov. 13.-Follow-
ing the close of the baseball season
during which eight baseball teams of
convicts competed for the prison pen
nant' before 700 excited prisoners,
four football teams have been organ
ized with the college men among the
prisoners as coaches, and each Satur-
day afternoon the prison yard echoes
to the signals of the quarterbacks to
the men in prison garb, while the
hackers of each team cheer like under
graduates. Athletics and entertain
ments are encouraged by the warden
and state board of control, to arouse
the interest and spirit of the men in
the state reformatory. Not only is there
baseball in the summer but following
the football season will come basket
ball for which ten teams have already
been formed. Moving pictures are
shown in the evening to amuse the
prisoners, drive trouble from their
minds and convince them that the
state, while confining them, has hopes
of their future usefulness, and a de-
sire to treat them as human beings.
But just now it is football. No gaudy
sweater with the initial "A" is to be
won by the players. Their pictures do
not appear in the daily press and they
wear the prison garb, but the 700
prisoners, officials and guards pay
tonnage to the man who makes a touch
1own after long run behind the pris- |
IN walls, just as they do on Soldiers
ield at Harvard. In reporting the |
games, the numbers given men when
hey entered, and not their names, are
lsed prison reporters story of a |
'ame tells how ''7006 carried the ball
round the right end, outstripping 1927
nd 1902 and making a touchdown be-
ore 6798 could tackle him."

President is Optimistic.

WASHINGTON, Nov 13-"There
are elements in the Mexican situation
which we cannot for the present dis
cuss which makes it look merely much
more favorable said President VIII
son this afternoon. The president
wouldn't be quoted farther but made
it plain that an agreement was in
sight involving the elimination of Pres
ident Huerta and everything he rep
regents. The president wouldn't dis
cuss the information on which he
based his optimism but it was evident
it was more cheerful than since John
: Lind was sent to Mexico.
Three COrnered Conference.
Inasmuch as communications have
been received from John Lind and
Nelson O'Shaughnessy at Mexico City
and William Bayard Hale at Nogales
following a conference with General
Carranza, the rebel leader, it is con-
jectured a triangular correspondence
is progressing which meant not only
Huerta's retirement but truce be-
tween the warring factions.
President Changed His Mind.
After it was admitted that the pres
ident was preparing a statement con-
corning the Mexican situation the
executive suddenly announced it's is
suance would temporarily be delayed.
This action followed the arrival of
messages from Nelson 'Shaughnessy
of Mexico City and William Baynard |
Hale now at Nogales. The change
of plans is construed as meaning that
the administration believed there was
an Improvement in the situation ahead.
Admit Receipt of Telegrams.
Secretary of State Bryan today ad-
mitted that 'Shaughnessy had tele-
graphed the department saying that
John Lind had started for Vera Cruz

of smaller and the extent of the dam
age at lake ports it is impossible to
do more than guess vaguely.
The majority of fatalities occurred
on Lake Huron. The violence of the
storm was such that the staunchest
vessels were dashed on the rocks. Next
to the Lake Huron storm, the Lake
Superior storm was the worst. The
seas are now rapidly subsiding.
A systematic search along the shore
of the lakes have begun for wrecks
The steamship H. NJ. Hanna has been
added to the list OF wrecks The waves
piled the steamer on the beach at

women who attend his concerts. One of
these pupils Mrs. Dallas interests
Arany more than the others and their
Irritation assumes dangerous proportions.
They start on a trip to Arrays lodge in
the Adirondacks, the musician telling his
wife he is going on concert tour. The
scheme is revealed to DR.. Dallas and Mrs
Arany by a rejected admirer of the pian-
ist. and as result the deserted husband
