.ARBITRATORS TO
SETTLE A CLAIM
Damages for Death of Alidor
Defauw Will Be Passed
on by Board.

James w Maucker was named this
morning as an arbitrator by the Rock
Island road to assist in determining
the damages due for the death of Ali
dor DeFauw. Action was started some
time ago in county court by Ed Coryn,
administration of the estate of the
dead man. against the road under the
provisions of the workmen's compen-
sation act.
The company objected to-this pro-
cedure, claiming that the state law
was III conflict with the federal legis-
lation and refused to name an
arbitrator. Judge B. s. Bell held there
was no conflict between the two meas.
ures, and that even though death was
accidental and not due to the com.
pany's negligence the state law ap,
piled.
This morning the company selected
Mr.. Maucker as their arbitrator. Jud
son Metzgar had already been named
by DeFauw's heirs and James F
Murphy was selected by the court to
day All the members of the board
are attorneys. Much interest has been
aroused in the decision of Judge Bell
as the point involved has never been
passed ON in this state before.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 31.-That section
of the Auditorium theatre sometimes

leaders next Saturday afternoon when
GIrs. Emmeline Pankhurst comes to
town. A strike, based on the princi-
pie of the thing" was declared yes

So stern and uncompromising is the
strike that Mrs. Harriette Taylor

the English militant, after which she
will climb.

MANAGER OsTRANDER CATCHES TT.
John Ostrander of New York. bush
ness manager for the Pankhurst lee
ture, was the recipient of food of
feminine oratory fully seasoned with
adjectives when it was learned he had
raised the price of stage seats from
81 TO $50 without consulting the lee
ture committee. Mr.. Ostrander did not
leave the Auditorium box office. how
ever, to come over to the meeting of
the women at the Congress hotel He
sent word over the telephone that the
house vas practically sold out and
that the stage seats. 500 in number
would remain at $150-"take EN- or

And what right have you to attempt
10 tell the court it's business?"
When the matter of an appeal bond
came up. Schriver objected to, a $50
surety as exorbitant, demanding a re-
duction to $50
THAT is awfully high" said Witter
with intense irony. You have told
us OF the unsulIied reputation of your
client as business man. OF his pros.

expect him TO secure signers for a

NEGRO BOXERS DROPPING
 FAST FROM TOP RUNGs

Chicago, Oct. T.-SIowly, yet as sure as there is a tomorrow, is the white race regaining the upper hand in pugilism, and unless all signs are badly misleading, inside of another year or two the white fighters will once more reign supreme. For the last half dozen years the negro has ssheld the ace in the fighting game, but the change is about due, and when it takes place it is doubtful if ever again will the black man be given the opportu- against his white brethren. Once the championships of all divisions are held by white boxers there is reason to be- Iieve that mixed bouts will forever be barred by the authorities, in the Unit ed States at least.
 At present the bantam weight cham pionship of the world is held by a white boy, Johnny Coulon, who refuses to meet negro in the ring. Johnny cannot remain champion forever, but he is not likely to lose his title to oth CT than a white boy. The feather weight crown is also worn by a white fighter, Johnny Kifbane, andEhe little Cleveland artist does not intend to al- low a negro to beat him. Willie Rft- chic is the lightweight champion and there does not loom up a coIored fight Frisco miller.
 The only cham pionship held by a ne gro at the present time is the heavy

INJURIES HURT
 HARVARD CHANGES
Logan Clinches His Place at Quarterback on Varsity
 Eleven

Cambridge, Mass, Oct 17-In spite of another rainy day. there was no let up in the hard work dealt out to the Harvard varsity squad. Mittendorf, a substitute centre, was added to the list of injured yester- day, when he broke a bone in his ankle. Hitchcock and O'Brfen' were both slightly injured, but will be all right soon.
 This matter of injuries is begin ming to look up big and black in the Harvard outlook. At present Brick ley, Bradlee, Mills, ETlzin and Mitten- dorf are out of the game with in >juries. This will weaken the team materially for the Holy Cross game, as it is not probable that any of these men will get into the game on Satur- day.
 It now seems that Logan has clinched his right at first string quarter, although FreedIey may start ahead of him on Saturday. BradIee will most likely be kept as half back when he reeovers from his sprained ankle.

(ByW agner.l

Danny Hoffman, the local boy who played with the Philadelphia Athletics when they contested in the 1905 worlds series, was very much pleased at the outcome of the late unpleasantness be- tween the Giants and the Athletics. Danny's Angora went soaring when he read newspaper articles supposed to have been written by Mathewson and Marquard of the Giants.
 In these pieces the player authors declared Eddie Plank didn't have thing and ought to be arrested for pitching without a license. That's fine stuff,'' said Danny. i've played be- hind Plank in many hard games and if that old boy hasn't got anything then I must be ready for a padded cell. Plank is one of the foxiest pitchers in the game. He uses his head all the time and tries to keep the batter in the <1ole. He showed the Giants up when he gave them nine hits in two games and whitewashed them in IS of the 19 innings played"
 Hoffman also had a good word for Manager Connie Mack of the Athletics He declared the willy leader was line player fairly. After leaving the Attn letics Hoffman played with the New York Americans and St. Louis Browns. He was in the big show until two years ago when he was sent to In diauapo1is. He joined St. Paul and last season was sold to Wilkes-Barre where he led the New York State league in batting.
 Nate wheeler of this city was the hero of the Yale football practice yes terday. He played left halfback and ran back a. kick for a touchdown af- ter sprinting 50 yards. He also made 9 9o ward run later and scored again. Wheeler will be started against Le- high tomorrow.

 Another injury that may hurt the team was the cut Marting received on the forehead. Caldwell was used in his place for the remainder of the practice, but 1t is highly probable that Captain KetchaIn will have to re- turn to his a11-collegiate position in the next contest Cooney and Markle were back for the first time yesterday.
