ters being added during the final five
minutes in the first half The half end

the club aggregation.
With the opening of the final half the
Aggies braced and for time held the
locals tight. but again they succumbed
to the intricate password of the locals
and the remaining part of the battle was
a repetition of the first. During the lattsr

by the efforts of the club quintet to
run their score up to the century mark,
they failing to do this by only three
points.
On the offensive, the work of Rabbit

NEW YORK'S DEATH RATE
And the Reasons Why 1t Has Been
Falling

The revision downward of New York S
death rate continues, which is an excel
lent reason why 100000 people should
rejoice, says the Brooklyn Standard
Union. This city is now close on the
heels of London, whose mortality figures
are the lowest of any of the world S
largest municipalities. For the IS wee Ks
of this year the death rate has been 49, II
per 1000, while London's was 1882 for
1912.
The record OF the past four years sim
ply shows what can be done with one of
the city's most important, If not actu-
ally the most important. department when
1t is administered with thorough disre-
gard for political and other outside in
fluences. The decline in the mortality
rate has been steady since Tammany' $
hand was removed In 1909. And 1t Is like

Louisiana Especially Piqued

The refusal of Auburn to include them
In their schedule for 1914 has especially
piqued louisiana State. For the past sew
eral years the two colleges have been
regular opponents on the gridiron and
the Iouisianians were keen on continu-
ing football relations. The Auburn ath-
letio authorities assigned as their reason
for dropping Louisiana that the game was
not big enough In financial way. How
ever, the Louisiana board claims that
such is not the case, as they offered the
Orange and Blue aggregation A $500
guarantee to play in New Orleans in 1914.
Anyway Auburn has refused to play
Louisiana State next sea son and as their
schedule for 1914 has been completed the
matter is at an end
Although Tulane is desirous of with
drawing from the association it Is un-
willing to make a step toward the for
nation of southwestern one unless
Louisiana State will do likewise. Ii
Louisiana consents to take such steps
then the proposed new association VIII
very likely become a reality.
Should the colleges Of the southwest
withdraw from the association their ac-
tiop would be beneficial to both. There
is little in common between them and

section have to be made to meet teams
OF the other section results in more harm
to the invading team than the benefits

WASHINGTON. April 3. = The
Democratic majority of the House
committee on ways and means reas-
sembled today, at what was expected
TO be the final meeting before the
tariff revision bill is laid before the
Democratic caucus next Tuesday.
With the points of difference be-
tween President Wilson and the COM
mittee settled by an agreement on
free raw wool. the interest shifted to
"a large extent to free sugar and the
"details of the income tax plan.
Members of the committee were
prepared to receive final word from
sthe President regarding the tariff
measure. and to devote much of to-
day to consideration of the income
tax. There was a possibility of a
change in the provisional rate of
per cent. on amounts above the ex-
empted $4,000 year, running up to 4

BODY EXECUTION WILL
BRING JAMESON TO COURT
Administrator Accuses Him of
Keeping Estate Effects.

Hunter Jameson, of Caldwell, will
appear in the Orphans Court tomor-
row before Judge William p Martin
by virtue of an execution having been
issued for his appearance TO show
why he should not be adjudged
guilty of contempt of court.
Jameson is wanted to give testi-
mony in the matter of the estate of
James Best, the affairs of the estate
having been almost constantly before
the court since the death of Mr.. Best
in Caldwell on December 10, 1910.
Eugene II. Meyer, counsel for William
james Best, administrator of the es-
tate, on February 20 last, through a
petition of discovery, alleged that
Jameson had i'm his possession 500 in
money and deeds. books and papers
that should be turned over to the adj
ministrator.
Jameson has so far ignored the or
ders 20 appear in court and produce
the documents and money he is al
legged to have, and as a result the
body execution has issued.
When Best died in December, 1910,
he left a i'll dated October 4, 1910,
which was offered for probate on Oe-
tober 4. 1911. and accepted. This Will
named Samuel Best, since deceased,
as executor. On August "a, 1912, the
probate of this will was set aside, as
it was proved not to have been prop
erly executed. A later will also proved
defective, and on September u, l9l2,
William James Best applied for and
obtained letters of administration.
Since that time he has been en-
deavoring to get hold of the money
and papers Jameson is alleged to
have in his possession, SO that lie
could wind up the estate.
