CLARA PHILLIPS
KILLS HERSELF
WITH RIFLE
Despondent Dorset Girl Ends
Troubles with a Bullet
DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS
Five Year Old Boy Witness Of
Tragedy at Home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Heating.

Clara Phillips, aged II, whose
mother and stepfather live in Man
chester, committed suicide Wednes
day night at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Heating in North Dorset
by shooting herself with a rife.
States Attorney William ] .Meag
her Sheriff Frederick Godfrey and
Deputy Sheriff Perry B. Gardner re-
turned Thursday night from the
scene of the tragedy where they
made an official investigation of the
circumstances.
When first informed of the occur
renee the states attorney was of the
opinion that there might be elements
of foul play in the sudden death OF
the young girl, but the investigation
demonstrated that no person other
than herself was in any way respon-
siblc.
Miss Phillips, who has been stay
ing at the Heating home for some
time, committed the deed while the
owners of the house were absent.
Going into bedroom she took an
old-fashioned 3S-calibre rife. placed
the muZZle against her left breast
and with a pair Of scissors in her
right hand reached and released the
trigger She was instantly killed by
the discharge of the rifle and fell
against the bed.
AS soon as he was informed of the
young girls death States Attorney
Meagher telephoned DR.. b. III. Stone,
pathologist at the state laboratory in
Burlington and that official accom-
panied by his assistant, DR.. Whitney,
came to Dorset and performed an
autopsy. The autopsy disclosed that
the bullet pierced the girls heart,
passed through her body and lodged
in door casting. In the opinion of
the physicians death must have been
instantaneous.
There was an eyewitness to the
tragedy. Howard. the five-yearolo
son of Mr. and Mrs. Heating stood in
the open doorway of the bed room
when the young woman carried out

to describe the act in detail. When
asked what became Of the rife after
the shooting he replied. 81 took l.,
away so that she couldn't hurt her
self with it any more
So far as could be learned the on
ly cause for Miss Phillips rash act
was sensitive disposition through
which she had suffered by reason of
family troubles for which she was
in no way responsible. Her mother
some time ago married a colored
man by the name of Manley and this
fact together with the taunts of some
of her acquaintance, is said to have
made her home life unhappy.

@ARLISLE, PA, Nov. "a re-
I sumo for the season of 1918 of
the work of the Carlisle Indian
football team put into a few words
might say that Glenn S. Warner,
recognized as the Connie Mack of
football took an aggregation of semi
trained Indian youths who had indi-
vidually hitherto had comparatively
little responsibility in playing the
great college game, and in less than
twelve weeks had built them into one
of the most remarkable football ma
chimes America has ever seen.
That there may be no doubt as to
Carlisle's position on the American
championship question, it may be
said authoritatively that the Indians
concede the championship to Har-
ward, but think that Carlisle is
j: aduestionably entitled to second
place by reason of their decisive de-
feat of the great Dartmouth eleven,
who had beaten Princeton and Penn
sylvania There is but one thing to
explain so far as Carlisle's season
record is concerned. The defeat by
Pittsburg. while greatly to Pittsburgs
credit, was not only, an early season
game with a raw Indian team, unde-
veloped and with the breaks Of the
game favoring the Pittsburgers, but
as in the case of the tied score
against Pennsylvania it was a con-
test in which the details of play
showed conclusively that Carlisle out
played their opponents.
At the seasons opening the Indians
n faced by far the most pretentious
schedule from the standpoint of the
number of games and proWess of OPP
ponents looked forward to by any
eleven. To start with, the great
Thorpe was lost to the New York
Giants. Such stars as ArCasa, who
had earned the applause of the coun-
try at quarter; Bergie, seemingly
inyincible center; Steam Roller Pow
oil Tackle Hodge and the remarkable
ends. Large and Williams. together
with at least a half dozen good
substitutes, on whom Warner had Law
ished much instruction, We're missing
from the Indian lineup. Raw mate
rial had to be taken. In one case. as
with I,arvie. who made good at first,
nm almost raw aborigine, was intro
dnced into the Indian lineup without
his ever having seen football be
fore Untried men like Pratt Wal
Iette and Calac were placed In impor-
tant positions, and Warner wrought
his handiwork with what he had.
THAT the Indians won any OF the
L early games is surprising, on ac-
rount OF the absolute lack of foot
haU knowledge with which many or
the PLAYERS began. Unlike in former
wears, big scores could not he rol,eh

THE personnel of the Indian eleven
this year is remarkable when its
accomplishments are considered.
With one exception the eleven men
have remained intact practically from
the beginning of the season, which is
unusual on any football team that has
hard schedule. The men generally
have been light in weight, very strong
physically, with mentalitfes capable
of wonderful development and youth
full to a noticeable degree. Practical
ly no injuries worthy of mention have
married the Redskins season. Wal
lette. at left end, and Pratt, at the
right extremity, have been fast and
have shown remarkable ability at
getting down the field.
The tackles, Welmas and Looks
around, are men Of superior attain
ments. Left Guard Hill is as strong
as an OK, and Right Guard Busch, in
addition to being extraordinary
strong on both offensive and defensive
work, has been able to handle any
opponents he has met. Center Gar
low was picked in midseason by
Glen Warner as the greatest center
the Indian school has ever had. Quar-
terback and Captain WEIGH has
shown himself to be a remarkable
field general. and carried the ball with
great success after the early season.
In Left Halfback Guyon the Indians
have a player who is almost equal
to the illustrious Thorpe. Right Half
back Bracklin, an indigerent sub of
last year, showed remarkable ability
