 ] The largest single return was from the Yale yame, when $96,000 flowed in. to the coffers of the Harvard asso- citation. Yale received half of this amount, and Princeton, likewise, claimed half portion of the $66, 900 paid to see the Harvard-Princeton It is estimated that more than 20O.- 1 900 persons saw Harvard play in the | nine games on her schedule.

CORNELL MAY NAME
 O'HEARn FOOTBALL HEAD

Ithaca, N. Y, Dec. 10.-Although he did not play in the Pennsylvania game, the usual test for football leaders at oCrnel, there seems tobe little ques- tion among members of the football squad and undergra duate body that John O'HeaIn, right end on the Cor nell football team until he was injured in the Harvard game, will be elected captain of the Cornell football team for next year, when the members of the team meet to select a leader.
 O'Hearn,e whose home is in Brook line, Mass, and. who has played for two years on the football team, will be a senior next fall He is rated as the best end Cornell has had in decade, and it was a bitter disappoint- ment to him and to Cornell men gen. orally that he could not enter the Pennsylvania game It is believed however that by next fall all danger of blindness. from another blow. In the eye will be removed, and he will be. able to perform all of the duties of captain.
 Against him there is no logical can didate, the other man who would get most consideration, Barrett, being a sophomore and having plenty of time to win the captaincy-
 Hitch your wagon to star, and the star, by the way, is Harvard, is the slogan sounded for the football team by the Cornell Daily Sun, the undergraduate organ, in re- to such an unexpectedly satisfactory end in the crushing defeat of Penn sylvania. The Sun urges the team and undergraduate body to make a. 5deterrnined effort to go after Harvard next year, striving not so much. to beat Pennsylvania as the big game of the season, but to make a strong bid for higher honors.

JOHN THOMAS AUGUSTINE HAGAN IS YOUNG JACK
  O'BRIEN'S NAME.

John Thomas Augustine Hagan is the full and complete name of the rugged and promising young box fighter who is known to ring fame as Young Jack .O'Brien. Young Jack is the kid brother of old Philade1phia Jack O'Brien.< once distinguished as a scrapper in the niddleweight and light heavyweight divisions. Young Jack was born. in Philadelphia nineteen years ago tomorrow Dec. II, 1894, and was a mere child when brother Jack -wh oseE real Inonaker ia Joseph F.
 career as a boxer. Philadelphia Jack garnered much coin and fame and in fluentiaI friends during his ring career, and it was quite natural that his
 brother should decide to follow in his
 footprints. Philadelphia Jack put up the customary line of disco uraging
 conversations-for, as George Ade says, every man knocks his own pro- fessiOn and sticks; to it like glue,-but
 when the kid refused to be. discour-
 aged Jack turned in and taught him
 all he knew about the Diff game. Then,
 when John Thomas Augustine went in
 and licked a lot of fellows, old Phila-
 pride and went about Philadelphia
 cackling like a hen that had laid an egg. "Oh, for goodness sake, ' said
 Philadelphia Jack, pipe me brother,
 who, under me own professional name,
 is perp etrating the great and glorious
 traditions of the family of fighting
 FIagans. Already. at a tender age
 when most boys are in college, me
 brother, me dear little brother, has
 earned umpty thousand dollars in tn 6 ring, licked all the best boys of his weight, and performed feats of prow- | ess unparalleled in the history of fstiana- He has overturned all the old, cherished traditions of pugi1ism, and, by his unremitting energy, his bravery, his endurance and his fear | lessness, combined with my knowl- edge, he has ushered in a new era in | pugilistica. Now, take my kid brother | there, John Thomas Augustine Hagan, l the fearless knight of the padded
 mitts'-and so on. Philadelphia Jack l certainly is proud of the lad, and well | he may be.

TWO HURTBYBOMB
THEYHAD THROWN

Los Angeles, Cal, June 1.-TWO
young Italians were terribly burned
and mangled by bomb which they
hurled under a porch of a house at
1902 East Fourteenth street early to-
day. The house was completely
wrecked. The bomb exploded as soon
as it struck and the two men were so
close they received the full force of
the explosion. With clothing abta-e
they fed screaming.
Pedestrians gave pursuit, overlook
them and rolled them in the street
until the flames were extinguished.
The men were rushed to a hospital.
The explosion had ripped nearly all
the clothing from one.
One game the name of Peffino Prin,
cipe, and the other refused to talk.
The police believe the outrage is
the sequel to the sending of black
hand letters to the owner of the house,
said to be a fruit dealer. Police
searched the wrecked house to ascer
tain if any of the occupants were
caught in the ruins. Persons passing
say no one was seen to emerge from
the house after the explosion.

lanes PLAN WILL
HELP CONSUMER
Proposes to Tax Development
Companies According to
Rates to Pubic.

Washington, D. c., June 16.-An en-
tirely new principle of conserving na-
tural resources has been worked out
by Secretary of the Interior Lane for
application to concessions on lands
owned by the United States. His idea
is that the greater the benefits con-
sumers derive from the development
Of resources the less the government
should tax the individuals and corpor-
ations receiving the concessions.
In granting permits to develop water
power on government lands Secretary
Lane has laid down these conditions:
l. The greater the development OF
horsepower the lower the charge per
horsepower to be made on the part
of the government. This is intended
TO secure the full use of the stream.
?. The lower the rate to consum
ers the lower the charge on the part
of the government.
8. No charge whatever for a period
OF five or ten years during which the
power company is finding its market.
1. Acceptance as a public utility o.
the states jurisdiction over intrastate
rates and service.
.. Absolute prohibition of combina
ton or monopoly, and the right of re
vocation on the part of the govern
ment in the event it is established
that such combination has been made
or that prices have been fixed b,
agreement with competing plants.

Are you aware the last congress,

passed prohibition measure by more
than a two-thirds majority, and that
layers knew it was unconstitutional
and voted for it anyhow? 1t is fact
president Taft, true to his oath to
defend the constitution, had the coar
age to veto that bill, but the same two
thirds majority, although they had TAX
en- exactly the same oath as the presi
dent, passed it over his veto. When
things come to such a pass that re
sponsible lawmakers will overthrow
the constitution for a popular fad, dc
you not agree with me that our liber
ties, for which the constitution is oiI
only guarantee, are in the greatest
possible danger?"
The Missourian declared the strug

and the pleasure loving Germanic peo
pie on the other. He denounced tht
