have been beaten sky-high by the
Middies, but they came into battle
with the forward pass in their laps,
and they beat the Navy with that
one play. The perfection of the play
startled the Navy boys, and they
never did recover after the first
touchdown. The teams could go into
battle again tomorrow and the
chances are the honors would be re-
versed.
Whoever Is given the credit-Daly
or Yost--the game of last Saturday
has brought about a new angle in
football. 1t has made 1t apparent
that the new rules were meant for an
open game and from now on every
college coach in the country will pay
more attention to that style of play.
The forward pass Is sure to be the
thing next year, and whoever we
have to Thankfully or Yost-we
should thank him deeply. for he has
been responsible for producing a new
interest in football. The game will
never be as desperate, as brutal, If
you will, as in years gone by, but the
perfection of the forward pass is GER
tain to make football under the pres
ent conditions almost as popular as it
was in the olden days.

The Navy is bemoaning it's fate
over dirty trick" played by some
culprit on it's speedy quarterback.
Just before the game Nichols was
handed a telegram containing the in
formation that his father was very
sick and advising the boy to come
home at once. 1t is said that the
news greatly upset the young man
and that he wasn't himself, by any
means. 1t left, the Navy friends say,
the most important quarterback
position well nigh helpless, and that
is the Middies' alibi for defeat. There
Is some doubt about whether the tele-
gram was really intended for the
football player and an investigation
Is being made. If the message was
meant for Nichols, 1t Is believed to
have been the work of gamblers who
had bet on the game. In making the
facts public the Navy is very anxious
that the Army should in no way
share in the blame. Tt was heart
the telegram was meant for some
other Nichols.

NEWPORT'S
new DEPOT
May Be Established Elsewhere
Unless Property Rights Are
Satisfactorily Adjusted.

Since the visit of the Railroad
Commission and the Southern
railway officials some time ago to
examine the depot facilities and
decide whether or not Newport
was to have a separate passenger
station, the people have been very
anxious as to the outcome.
During the visit of the officials
here assurance was given that a
new passenger station would be
erected and that the freight depot
would be moved elsewhere, prob
ably on the w. B. Robinson prop
erty, if it could be purchased at a
reasonable figure.
1t seems now that the Southern
is up in the air about the matter,
claiming that the abutting prop
erty owners are asking exorbi-
tant prices for their property, and
that their rights to the property
where the present station is 10
Gated are questionable.
1t is possible, however, that the
Southern is already vested with
the ownership of the property un-
der its charter, but litigation may
be necessary to establish these
rights.
The following letter has been
received by Alderman Frank H.
Taylor from the Railroad Commis-
sion, enclosing also a copy of the
letter from General Superintend
ent G. R. Loyal to the Railroad
Commission, explaining the delay
and the reasons therefor.

herewith enclosed, and which is

DROUTH AWFUL
Even the Clubs Are Ordered to
Surrender Licenses - Deers
Nav Resist for Test Case.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 28.-
Every club in Chattanooga sur
rendered its federal license Mon
day, and it is said that there will
be no liquor dispensed by any of
these organizations. Practically
all of the clubs held meetings Sun
day following an order from the
sheriff that they turn in their
licenses to the circuit court clerk
Monday. The order was served
on the club managers last night
after Attorney-G General M. N.
Whitaker had instructed the sher-
iff to take such action. This or
der effects the Elks, the CONNER
cial club and the Mountain City
and Golf and Country clubs as
we'll as the smaller concerns.
When it become known that
Acknowledgement Whitaker had
decided to take such action the
club managers at first took the
matter as a joke. Later when the
sheriff's deputies served the or
der, CONSERVATION reigned Satur-
day night at the clubs, business
was transacted on a large scale
but Monday it is said that not a
drop of liquor was dispensed by
any of the organizations. The
Deers are said to be preparing to
resist the order, and probably will
make a test case. There is not a
saloon in operation and if this or
der is rigidly enforced, Chatta-
nooga will be completely dry.

Without an outcry, and within
a period Of ten or fifteen minutes,
Mrs. R. c. Bell, mother of R. H.
Bell. one of Parrottsville's best
known citizens, was burned to
death at her sons home Monday
morning.
1t was distressing tragedy.
and the whole community mourns
the lose Of the lovable old lady,
who for the past ten years has
made her home with her son.
On Monday morning about nine
o'clock, Mrs. Bell who was IS
years old, had a small child light
her pipe for her, and sitting back
in her chair, the little child left
her with the pipe in her mouth.
In ten or fifteen minutes some
one came back into the room, and
there the horrifying sight was
seen. Instead of seeing Mrs. Bell
smoking her pipe in content, a
small stream of smoke was COM
ing from the remnants of her
clothing, and although help was
quickly summoned it was found
that death had come to her before
anyone had re-entered the room.
1t was presumed that a spark
had dropped from the pipe onto
her clothing and that it escaped
her notice and inhaling the flames,
death came to her so quickly that
she never had opportunity Of
an outcry. All of her clothing
had practically been consumed
when she was found.
Besides the son, with whom she
made her home, Mrs. Bell is sur
vived by several other children
living in North Carolina.

first. Mr.. Heiskell last week, ac-
companied by two men, who are
said to have gun records, visited
Mr.. Watson at his office in Knox
vile in regard to an article which

the mayor, and before the meet
ing was over Mr.. Watson claimed
that Mayor Heiskell partly drew a

the people in its war on saloons
and other evils.
