\ foreign silk agent, giving the

arraigned in police court this morn
ing before Magistrate Charles ].

a 15-year-o.d girl in a home which he
entered. The foreigner is an Arabian
hailing from Chicago. and he has been
making a house to house canvass or
the city selling silk scarfs, and other
silk articles which attract the eye of
the average woman. Late yesterday
afternoon he stopped at the De Vrieze
home at the corner of Eighth street
and First avenue, and was informed
that nothing was wanted. He persist
ed. however. in showing his wares and
gained admission into the house.
Miss Elizabeth De VrieZe and her
mother were the only occupants of the
place and when the mother left the
room for a moment. the agent seized
the girl. pulled her into his lap and
kissed her. She screamed and fought.
and the man seized her by the throat
and pushed her against the stove. At
this moment the mother entered the
room. having been attracted by the
cries OF her daughter, and attempted
10 interfere. She was also roughly
handled. sustaining slight bruises and
scratches about the body. The agent
then made his escape according to
the story told by the two women.
His Story.
The police were at once notified |
and Officer johnson arrested the man. !
According to the story OF the foreigner. !,
however. for whom an interpreter was |
necessary. the women wanted to buy |

refused and started TO leave the place,
and claims that the women grabbed |
his grip and did not want him to go.
After hearing both stories Magis-
trate Smith gave the foreigner a $50
line. He was unable to pay and was
taken TO the county Jail for 10 days 4

My a few more days remain un-
til the curtain is rung down on
- the 1914 football season and in
terest now centers on the annual duel
10 be staged Thanksgiving day be-
tween the Army and Navy eleVens.
Both teams have excellent records Tor
the season and the game viii prove
far more exciting than did the Har-
vard-Yale contest which resulted IN
the walSaway for the crimson.
The Army has won majority OF
the annual games with the Navy, but
in recent years the Middies have proved
themselves much stronger than the
teams that represented the naval
academy in previous years. Basing a
prediction on the past performances OF
the two machines this season, the
Army should win, but it will not be
by a onesided score and the sailors
will make the soldiers fight for every
inch OF ground. But the sailors do not
appear as strong as the soldiers and
will probably be defeated by a score
Of something like 20 to Il.
Much interest is being taken IN the
game by FL Pasoans. The army Of

It seems from the spectators view
point that the man who handle the
throwing end of the forward pass wait
too long before making the heave.
They got the ball, pull back their arms,
tipping the opposition to what is COM
ing and then usually wait and take
aim. The business of taking aim
may be all right, but it hasn't proved
so.
