PRELIMINARY HEARING
OF ALlfGfD WHITE SlAvfRS

Stanlev Abbott and Thelma Lee arc
having their preliminary hearing to-
day before Commissioner Hawkins, on
a white slavery complaint. They were
arrested Tuesday evening by Deputy
Marshal Hawkins on q charge of
having brought four girls from
Boise, Idaho. to Winnemucca for pur-
poses of prostitution. 1t is alleged
ttat about month ago the Lee
woman rented house in the restrict
ed district from "Red' Forquer,
which she opened under the rather
euphonious name of the "Green-
house," and that the Boise girls were
shipped in as inmates.
At the examination this morning
the girls all testified that they came
from Idaho without any understand
ing with either of the defendants, pay
ing their own travelling = expenses
This left the evidence of the govern
ment of rather circumstantial ma
ture. When cred" Forquer was
wanted to tstify to the circumstances
of renting the house, il was found
that he had taken to the "tall tim
ber,' evidently not relishing too close
contact with the Federal authorities
The government Is represented by
D. C. Rathbun, of San Francisco, spec
ial agent Of the judicial department,
and defendants by Salter & Robins.

STEALS FORTUNE
in PAID WARRANTS

Yesterday Jim Brown, colored, was
discharged from the county Jail, hav-
ing served term of 80 days for petit
larceny committed at Golconda. Last
evening he returned to the courthouse
to clean up several supposed rich
plants" he had located during the
time he was a trusty.
Naturally supposing that the treas
urer's Office was the place to loook
for money, he crawled over the tran
som and ransacked the office. In a
drawer in the desk he discovered
about $4,000 worth of paid warrants
which looked good to him and they
were appropriated. He also took a
small quantity of stamped envelopes.
Not satisfied with this fortune, he
entered the Office of the county as
SCISSOR and attempted to open the
safe, but did not succeed. From there
he went to the Office of the county
surveyor. While hunting for valu-
ables he was surprised by Anthony
Elffner, who is employed in the Office
and sleeps there and an alarm was
sounded. Brown made run for it,
but was captured across the river,
near the Western Pacific station.

CR|D|RON BATTLE
IN new arena
(By Hal Sheridan.)
Written for the United Press.)

Y
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 21.-
In the largest arena in the world and
before what was expected to be the
greatest crowd that ever witnessed q
sporting event anywhere, Harvard
meets Yale today in the annual grid.
iron battle which will dedicate this
monster new home Of the Blue eleven.
The massiveness of this structure,
built around the field where the TWEEN
ty-two men of the Blue and Of the
Crimson will clash in physical combat
for the honor Of their alma matters,
fairly takes away ones breath. There
are seats for 10000 spectators in the
tier upon tier of steps. On the rim of
the bowl have been erected 10000 ad-
ditional seats. Graduate Manager of
Athletics Everard Thomson announced
today that every one of the 10000
tickets had been sold or reserved
three days ago.
this vast number of tickets Manager
Thompson hit upon plan by which
he believes he has completely elimin-
ated the spectators, who had hoped
to reap veritable harvest. Each ap-
plicant was made to fill out blank
with his name, address and class in
college. This rule held with Harvard
students and graduates as well as
those from Yale. Money for tickets
had to accompany each blank. Each
applicant was numbered up to 10000.
The Yale and Harvard athletic asso-
Citations received $4,000, which will
be evenly divided.
The new bow cost Yale $5O0,O00
and is made entirely of concrete. The
top, which is fifty-fve feet above the
gridiron, is $50 yards--a half mile
in circumference. The person who
wants to walk back and forth along
the tier of seats until he has covered
every tier, would have twenty-four
miles of pacing to his credit. The
bowl is to be used exclusively for
football games, and inside of six years
it is expected to pay for itself. There
is no standing room in the structure.
1t took force of 1000 students and
salaried officials to show the spectat-
ors to their seats today.
The approach TO the bowl resembles
Uncle Sans coast defenses. The
sloping, grassy bank, which rises
gradually from the outside to height
OF seventy-fve feet completely hides
the concrete structure.
But in the impressiveness of this
great sight we forget there is to. be a
football game on here today. Har
ward, and rightly too, was favored
ovar Yala in the hating but there
are quite few who remember Yale
mysterious faculty which amounts al
most to ledgerdemain in being able to
hold vastly superior Harvard eleven
with an inferior Yale team through
sheer bulldog fight and tenacity, and
those few snapped up many of the
bets made by enthusiastic Crimson
rooters.
