It is no uncommon thing to find re.

OPENING OF FOOTBALL SEASON


New York, Sept 90. The college
football season of 1913 opens today,
although only two important games
are scheduled, the game between the
Carlisle Indians and Albright college,
at Carlisle, Pa, and the game be-
ween Boston college and the Univer-

from the schedules arranged for the
various college elevens the season will
be extremely busy and it is estimat-
ed that more than 1,1O0 games are
scheduled among the college elevens
not counting double that number of
games to be played by high school
and preparatory school teams.

Santa Fe, Sept. 2O.-W. J. Andrus
of Aragon, through his attorneys, is
going to make a test case out of the
prohibition imposed by the Santa Fe
on Nos. and 4, the limited trains.
He so states in letter TO the state
corporation commission. According
to his story he was in Chicago and
wanted to go to Albuquerque. He
then bought a ticket to Williams,
Ariz., and got off at Albuquerque.
When he left the train he demanded
the unused portion of his ticket, which
was refused him. However he had the
Pullman conductors check for his
ticket. and using that he made claim
to the railroad for refund for the
additional distance between Albuquer-
que and Williams This was refused
him Since then he has engaged an
Albuquerque firm Of lawyers, and says
he is going to test the case. His con
tention is that the railroad cannot re-
tain the full fare from Chicago to Will
liams for ride from Chicago to AL
buquerque, for the ticket he purchaser
at Chicago was bought under protest,
the railroad knowing that he was go
ing only to Albuquerque.

Especial r-Bulletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 90
Before the end of February the Arl-
Ington wireless station of the navy
will be receiving messages direct
from the station on the Island of Ha-
wall as a part of its regular routine.
The Arlington station has already
picked up messages from that mid
Pacific island but no report has been
made of the fact because the feats
were regarded as freaks of radio
graphy.,
Messages were received from the
Mare Island station two days before
Christmas but when Capt. Henry T.
Mayo, commandant of the yard at
Mare Island tried TO send Christmas
greetings to Secretary Meyer and the
officers on DUTY here conditions were
not right and the message had to be
sent via Key West and Norfolk. The
first named station is a little mere
distant from Mare Island than Wash
ington is from the California station
but In a photographic sense Mare Is-
land and Key Vest are comparatiyely.

When Arlington picked up" Mare
Island On The night of Dec % the
longest overland ssending by wireless
ever done was accomplished. The
picking UP was done during the pro-
gress Of tests that are being made
by the radio officers in charge to see
whether the installation at Arlington
meets the specifications.
Thus far the experiments have met
expectations. The officer in charge
said today that the tests will be COM
pleted in about a month and he said
messages from the Hawaiian station
will be picked up as a matter of
course.
But there will be no direct mes
sages from Washington to Hawaii un-
til the mastS of the mid-Pacific sta
ton are heightened. While Airing
ton will be able to get messages from
the islands, the insular station, hav-
ing comparatively short masts will
not be able to pick up messages
from Washington. Mare Island will
have to relay them.
