Delaware Shifts Line
FOR BETTER Defense
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Oct. lin the
practice this week Coach McAyoy
has made several changes in the var
sity eleven which will probably
strengthen the team for the opening
game here with Baltimore POlytech-
mic Institute next Saturday. This
eleven recently defeated the Mary
land A. c. and is reported to have a
strong team.
Tom Wilson of last years scrubs.
who played one of the halfback DO
sitions in the Lafayette game, has
been shifted to the line and GRAY. a
freshman from Salisbury, takes his
place in the backfeld Another
change will be that Bratton the for
mer Tome Institute player who shows
so much promise will be on the line.
BrattOn is a good punter, also good
in carrying the ball but was unable
to get in the Lafayette game because
of an injury. He has entirely recov-
cred, however. and will no doubt be
in the lineup on Saturday.
Fidance, who played such a sensa-
tional game at quarterback against
Lafayette is showing improvement
every day in practice and promises
to make one of the best quarterback
] that Delaware has ever had
After some signal practice yester.
day Coach McAvoy lined the varsit,
up against the scrubs and the frs
! string boys scored three touchdown
in less than 10 minutes Their play
ing was snappy and fast They pull
ed off several tricks on the scrubs
that made them long sains. The team
at this stage looks stronger than thl
1913 eleven and will no doubt i'm
prove greatly as the season grows.

In an effort to further the national
campaign recently started to better

president of The Willys-Oyerland Com
pany, has purchased bale OF cotton for
each OF the 400 Overland dealers i'm that
section Of the country Mr. WHY'S has
also declared his intention of buying an
additional bale of cotton for each
Overland car purchased during the twc
months ending November H., and also
OF trying to interest each OF the promi
ncnt concerns affiliated with tine Rice
Leaders OF the World Association.
Armour a. Co. have purchased zoe
cotton bales for their Southern agents
The pillsbury Flour Company and many
other concerns OF national prominenc,
have bought on siguihed their intention
of buying, a bale for each OF then
Southern agencies.
'Our plan is TO have every American
who can afford 1t. purchase bale oI
cotton at ten cents a pound" said Mr.
Willys in explanation of the idea. "Ihis
amounts to $50 bale, which gives the
growers small profit. IT these bales
were sold at the present market price
they would 20 for much less than that
price. But the South Is not asking fol
charity. 1t simply makes a straight
forward business proposition in which
the business men OF the rest of the
country are asked TO cooperate will

FORD'S BOOK ON The

Henry Ford is more interested in the

he explained his attitude toward cigar
cite smoking and was careful TO make
it clear that his purpose is not to en-
deavor to reform men over % years of

men under that age and boys TO the
evils of the cigarette, especially the
delotcrious effect ON physical health.

the title would be decided. Should
Newark win, anot'er game will have to
be played on a ground that will be de-

Of course each team is anxious to win

CUMMINGS SAYS GIRL WAS TO
BLAME-CASE CONTINUED


Adam, 1.-The woman tempted me-" is
apparently the defense John P. Cum
mings, 5123 Sheridan Road, manu-
facturer of 'Karith" cleaning fluid
and officer of the Continental As
phalt and Equipment Company, is go
ing to put up in answer to a rape
charge preferred by Dorothy Moore,
a pretty stenographer of 10.
Cummings admitted this is not the
first time he has been arrested. He
was arrested for violating the game
laws in Nebraska; again for hitting
an attorney in court; in Chicago for
operating a confidence game, which
complaint was withdrawn later by the
complainant; for violating the speed
laws, and for an alteration with a
street car conductor.
In addition to these interesting ex-
periences, the twentieth century
Adam has been a land agent, a law
yer, promoter and is now a manu-
facturer.
Dorothy Moore has accused Cum
mings of taking her to lunch one day
and getting her intoxicated, and has
inferred that the second day when he
took her to luncheon and then to a
hotel she was drugged.
Cummings is the matinee type of
man. His features are rather effemi-
nate and his manner decidedly so
when he becomes angry. His prac-
tice as an attorney qualified him to
dodge questions adroitly and aided
him in making statements which 9TH
erwise might not have gotten into
the record
On direct examination he said he
had not engaged Dorothy in any flirt-
alton, that he had scarcely spoken to
her until he asked her to lunch, and |
he began his defense of blaming the |
girl by making positive assertions |
that she knew he was married man.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-04-10

On. cross-examination he said that
he asked Dorothy to lunch with him
after he had telephoned his wife to
come down town and she was too
busy. He says that at the first lunch
con, eaten at Stillson's, Dorothy
wasn't intoxicated.
What did Miss Moore have to
drink that day." States Attorney
Lust asked.
"She had two whisky cocktails, l

Anything else?" ..-.

amy champagne?"
"She drank pint of champagne"
"And you mean to say that after
drinking two cocktails, two, cordials
and a pint of champagne, she was not
affected, she was perfectly normal"
"She was"
With the exception of such por-
lions of his conversation with Miss
Moore as were vital to the issue in
contradicting her story, Cummings
memory was extremely faulty.
But he was able to repeat very ac-
curately a story he claimed the girl
told him which was so suggestive that
on the strength of it he says he asked
her to q hotel, which he said he would
not have done had she not told him
the story.
In every thing hereafter, according
to Cummings, Dorothy seems to have
taken the initiative and Cummings
merely followed.

On one occasion the British lost a
 point in their war with Russia by req son Of an error in their geography. This was when Commodore Elliot had succeeded in bIockading the Russian feet in the gulf of Saghalin, on the east coast of Siberia. The Russians were in a cuI de sac, and the British
 ships waited contentedly for such time as the enemy should venture to put to sea. But they waited in vain, and at last an investigation was made. 1t was found that the Russian fleet had van3shed While the British cemmo- dore waited at the south end of the gulf, the Russian ships slipped away through the shallows at the north end into the sea of okhotsk. Until this discovery was made the British gov. ernment had believed Saghalin to. be a peninsula. Now, too late, they learned that it was an island, with 9 very narrow channel at the north end of the gulf running into the sea of Okhotsk.
