FOOTBALL SEASON
DEVELOPS SCORES
Of STAR PLAYERS
Menke Says No Man Stands
Ahead of Entire Field as in
Previous Years of Games
History.

NEW YORK Nov. 26.-The 1914
football season has brought to the fore
many wonderful players. yet from out
pr the lot not one has risen who can
be called the peer OF all those who
play his position-not one stands out
unchallenged as the greatest football
player Of the year.
In other years 1t was different.
Nearly every season uncovered. at
least one player who stood head and
shoulders above every other man in
The game. Last year it was Charley
Brickley. the marvellous Harvard full
back. The 1913 season developed a
great number Of great fullbacKs and
halfbacks. yet not one could compare
with Brickley.
Players Stand Out
Glance back through the years and
you will find that each brought out at
least one player whose fame Is undy-
rg. Hesteon, the great Michigan half
back. never will be forgotten as long
as football is played. The fame OF the
Poe boys at Princeton. will live as long
rs Princeton remains a college. Who
ever will forget about Pat O'Dea. the
old Wisconsin player, whose 62 yard
drop kick against Northwestern IN
1898 will stand as the longest ever
made? O'Dea, as a punter. never nad
known an equal. Nor has anyone ever
come to the fore in the fifteen years
since he quit the game who can drop
kick with such unerring accuracy or
from such long distances as O'Dea
He rarely failed to score when he drop
kicked within the fifty yard line and
his punts used to average around six
" yards.
Walter Ekersall, the Chicago quar-
terback, second only to O'Dea in kick
ing prowess. is another whose memory
will be cherished in the football world
Then there is Bulge" Heffleringer
the giant Yale guard Of the old days
Snake" Ames, the greatest quarter
back that Princeton ever had, Ted Coy
the great Yale fullback of a few years
ago, Sammy White Of Princeton. who
beat Yale and Harvard in one year.
Trafford the old Harvard star, who
played in 1SS9-1S9O, is down in the
football records as having kicked 8
greater number Of goals, from Ions
range, than any man that ever played
football on an eastern gridiron. Bill
Hollenbach, of Pennsylvania, Dewitt
of Princeton, Tom Shelvin, of Yale
Phil King, Of Princeton Frank Hinkey
of Yale are names that never Will b.
forgotten in the football world.

PRINCE RUPERT HAS
 MURDER SENSATION

PRINCE RUPERT, Oct. S.-The of ficial reason for leavingthe body of Harry ("Bert") Taylor, who was sup. posed to have been killed by freight train. exactly as found by the rail way tracks at Sealey Gulch Bridge which he has been guarding is re- vealed today, and is sensational.
 Examination of the remains has re- vealed the fact that Taylor was mur- dered before his body was left on the line to be mangled by the midnight freight train.
 Dispatch From Scene.
 A dispatch just received from Haz- elton says:
 Harry Taylor, who took an active part in the capture of one or more of the robbers of the New Hazleton bank robbers last April, was found murder ed half a mile west of South Hazleton railway station on Tuesday morning.
 "Taylor, who had been acting as a guard on the Sealey Gulch bridge, had his throat cut from ear to ear, and there were other wounds on the body.
 John May, Hazleton Indian, is now Under arrest, and the police are almost confident they have the real murderer, blood stains having been found on his clothing.
 Only an hour elapsed from the time the murdered man was found until the Indian was under arrest.
 The Indian is well known in Prince Rupert and Port Eessington.
 Taylor was murdered in a similar manner to the murder of Kenneth on the Kispiox road last December.

GILL'S POLICE CHIEF
 ATTACKS HUMPHREY

SEATTLE. Oct. 3-The assertion that Congressman Will E. Humphrey had brought himself to q condition of absolute usefulness to his constit' uents by his attitude and tactics against the administration was made last evening by Austin F.. Gritfiths, candidate for Congress on the Pro gressive ticket.
 It was Griffiths' first speech in his campaign for election, and a good crowd turned out to hear him at the Fremont Masonic Hall.
 They tell YOU that Humphrey has been in Congress a long time" said Griffiths. He has-12 years in all.
 And 12 years is a long time to stand still
 Recently he has adopted so narrow and picayunish attitude toward the present administration that he has be- come absolutely useless to this dis trict, He has not advocated one con- structiye piece of legislation, or of fered one helpiul thought
 He has become simply the cham pion pessimist and the champion cal amity howler of the standpat Repub- ncan party"

 WICKERSHAM VOTE

That Charles E. Bunnell was win ming votes that heretofore have been cast for Delegate James Wickersham was the statement made in Juneau by John L. McGinn, the Fairbanks law yer, banker and mining man, who was a Southbound passenger on the Ala meda.
 MT. Bunnell made a splendid i'm pression in Fairbanks and on the Tan ana creeks" said Mir. McGinn. He succeeded in convincing the people of the Panama valley that he will make good in Congress. The Democrats are thoroughly organized and united, and they are putting up a great scrap, and they are winning votes"
 Mir. McGinn is a Republican. He is on his way to San Francisco where he has a case before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals.

ST. ANN'S HOSPITAL
 DEDICATED

Practically all of Juneau was out out last night assisting in the dedica. ton of the new St. Ann's hospital building. Juneau society folk were there in force yet withal it was a very democratic gathering and a fine testimonial to the interest the peo- pie are taking in this great institu- tion. The celebration marked the for. nal opening of one of the finest, if not the finest hospital building in all Alaska. It was a grand success; a demonstration that the people of Ju. neau and other Gastineau channel towns appreciate the great work of the Sisters of St. Ann.
 An excellent program of exercises provided entertainment while the la dies of Juneau by special request from Sister Superior took charge of the re- ception. Through the various com mittees everything was beautifully done.
 Gov. J. F. A. Strong delivered a dedicRtory address, dwelling at some length on the good work that the mo- ble Sisters of St. Ann have done and are doing in the country.
 Miss Crystal B. Snow sang Vianka's song in a charming mannerand for an encore, the dainty little bit, ITO My First Love-" Mrs. Angus Mackay sang Tosti's Goodbye" with great feeling and followed with "A Prayer" by Leoni. Mrs. George Simpkins pre- sided at the piano faultlessly. Prof. John Sumpf's orchestra was in atten- dance all evening and added much to the success of the entertainment.
 The ladies of the Altar Society serv- ed the excellent home prepared re- treatments. Mrs. Angus Mackey and Mrs. w. S. Bayless poured.
 During the evening the great throng inspected the splendid edifice and eX- pressions of admiration were heard on every hand.

RECORD OF DELEGATE
 ON BRIDGE

In his speeches at Juneau and Doug las Delegate James Wickorsham made sepcial effort to make some politi- cal capital for himself out of the pro posed bridge across Gastineau chan iel. In talking to the voters on the island he explained that he had in troduced a bill providing for the sale of the tide lands properties of Ju- neau.- and to devote the proceeds to the bridge. He said, however. that opposition to the plan developed in Juneau end he did not press the mat ter He stated, further, at Douglas, that he could understand the Juneau opposition" now that he had seen the Improvements that have been made on the tiGe lands, and intimated that sentiment "on the other side of the channel" is backing up jumpers of government lands.
 Bridge Is Simple Proposition.
 Investigation discloses, however, that in this matter, as iE many other things which Delegate Wickorsham has touched, he has attempted to com plicate Il simple proposition by drag. ging in individuals or combinations of individuals that he might denounce them. All that would be necessary to- assist in the building of the Douglas bridge would be to secure a larger ap. propriation for the construction of wa gon roads in AlaskG by the Board of Road Commissioners. Road Commissioners Have Authority.
 The Board Of Road Commissioners in Alaska has ample authority to con- struct the bridge across GastineauI channel, according to Col. w. P. Rich ardson, president of the board. And, further according to the same author ity, the board has the disposition toI build the bridge. All that it lacks is funds. The appropriations have been so small for road building during the last few years that practically all the road commissioners have been able to do is to maintain in a state of effic' .cncy these roads they have already luilt. and to replace bridges and re pair damages that floods have caused. Wickersham Has Opposed commis'
 sion.
 Col. Richardson and others sought last winter to secure the appropriation cr $1,OOO,OOO or so year for an eX' tended period of years for Alaska wa gon and automobile roads. The plan was endorsed by the people of Fair banks and other sections of Alaska. Gov. J. r. A. Strong urged the appro' 9riation in his annual report last year. it was in conformity with every plat form adopted in Alaska for years. If the appropriation had been secured the Gastineau channel bridge would have been under way.
 However, the Delegate to Congress from Alaska has not only refused to assist in securing such an appropria- ton, but every appropriation that has been secured during the last few years. according to Col w. P. Rich ardson, has been secured either with ont Delegate Wickersham's assistance or in spite of his positive opposition.

BOSTON GETS FIRST
 BIG GAME
R H P Boston .............. ' II 2 Philadelphia .... 1 . o %

SHIBE PARK, Philadelphia, Oct. g. The Boston Braves simply ran away from Philadelphia today in a one sided game. They drove Chief Bend CT, the Athletics star pitcher from the mound by terrific batting at moments when hits meant runs.
 Bender was taken out in the sixth inning, with one down, and WyCkofr finished the game. -.
 Gowdy was the hitting star for Bos. ton. He got three safe hits with three times at bat. One of the three hits was a triple and one a double, the third being a single.
 Rudolph pitched a wonderful game, consistently tricking the Athletics by his slow balls, which came up to the plate looking as big as toy balloons. The famous Athletic hitters could do nothing with his delivery. Collins and Baker were as helpless as babes.
 The Philadelphia team played an CT rorless, defensive game, but there was nothing that could stay the hitting or the Bostonians.
 Boston got seven runs, eleven hits and made two errors.
 Philadelphia got only one run and five hits. making no erOrs.
 The batting order of the teams was as follows:
 Boston-Moran, If; Evers, 2b; Con- nelly, lf.; Whittcd, c.f.; Schmidt, ID; Deal, 2b; Maranvillc, s.s.; Gowdy, C.; Rudolph, D.
 Philadelphia-Murphy, If; Oldring, If; Collins, 2b; McInnes, 1b; Strank, c.f.: Barry, s.s.: Schang, c; Bender, D.. and Wyckolt, D.

NOME PAPER CONDEMNS
 ATTACK ON HOME RULE

The Nome Nugget, heretofore, sup porter of Delegate James Wickersham upon his mining law ant It's provision against further legisla ton on mining claims by the Alaski Legislature, says:
 In this bill. however. our dele gate seems to be careful to retain as much power as possible in the hands of Congress- and giving as little as possible to the Territorial Legislature to govern these mat ters. Sections thirteen to and in- cluding section seventeen deals with placer locations, proof of la bor, power of attorney. etc, all of which are clear, unambigious and remedy many of the defects of the previous defects of previous acts but is itself by no means perfect. if such a thing is possi- ble. Section eighteen deals with the act of the Territorial Legis- lature and in this section would wipe out everything that body did or attempted to do in the way Of mining legislation.
 In this our delegate has attempt ed a good work so far as certain features of the law is concerned but there may be serious doubt as to whether or not he has not gone too far in attempting to fur ther restrict the Territorial leg islature in it's power to legislate,
 The people of Alaska will not look with favor on any additional restrictions on the power of the Territorial Legislature.
