BOWL IS OFFERED
FOR BIG CONTEST
New Stadium at New Haven
Can Accommodate 900
Persons With Comfort.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 12.-The
Yale bowl, which can accommodate
81, 900 persons, was tentatively offered
as a battle-ground for the proposed
game to establish the gridiron cham
pionship of the United States by Ed
ward J. Phelps, chairman of the alum
nj advisory board of Yale university,
yesterday.
Two conditions were imposed by
Mr.. Phelps. The first that his asso-
ciates on the board accord with his
disposition to allow the use of the
stadium; the second was that the pri-
mary object of the game is to secure
funds for the Belgian relief fund.
Mr.. Phelps said he had little doubt
the first condition would be easily
met. providing the second was in
sured.
"On the other hand a game played
in New York or Chicago would attract
thousands from these cities. In that
case sentiment would play its part for
any one that would go to New York
or Chicago. In addition to the loyal
supporters of the schools interested
there would be the thousands always
interested in a great spectacle to draw
from.
If the game is arranged and IL is
the desire of the committee which has
It in charge to use the Yale bowl,
shall Immediately take the matter up

will be no doubt as to the outcome

Urbana, ILL.,, Nov 12.-PreSident
James proposal for an intersectional
football battle for Belgian charity will
be up in the air until the conference
semi-finals are played on Saturday.
OF the three teams battling for the
championship, Illinois, Chicago and
Wisconsin, the IIlini are the only ones
willing to order the list.
Should Illinois be fortunate enough
to dispose of Chicago, and should
Minnesota beat Wisconsin, the Him
would be the only indicated eleven
in the Big Nine" and would then be
in a position to aspire to represent
the west.
Proponents of the plan believe tlat
in that event the conference would
permit the Illini to make the PROPOSE
ton to Harvard and Yale, since the
Illinois faculty is willing to waive its
objection to post-season games because
of the extraordinary situation.
With conditions such as they are all
there is to do is to mark time. Min
nesota expressed an unwillingness to
be considered as a possible western
representative. Purdue was opposed
personally, but said no objection would
be made if any other school desired to
enter the combat Northwestern has
not been heard from. That there is
only a fighting chance that the plan
will succeed is conceded.

! pered as probably no other minstrel
enterprise has in recent years. 1t has
shattered all the pessimistic ideas OF
those who have regarded minstrelsy
as a back number so far as theatrical
entertainments were concerned, and
has revived an interest in this purely
American form of amusement to such
an extent that the Neil O'Brien COM
pany is now looked forward to as one
OF the real events of the theatrical
year. This degree of popularity has
been achieved with no little degree of
effort on the part of Mr.. O'Brien, his
manager. Mr.. Hodge, and his associ-
ates They have built up their enter
tainment from year to year and have
given the public a clean, bright, lively
entertainment of the very best there
is in minstrelsy, striving at all times
for novelty. originality and a distinct
i've atmosphere that has finally placed
this attraction in the very front rank
and given il a standard and standing
all its own 1t now comes to amuse
us with it's fun and melodies announc-
ed and promised as being even better
than on any previous visit, with
wealth of new and beautiful scenery,
all new wardrobe, new acts and fea-
lures and with an almost complete
new assemblage of faces. Naturally
several of Mr. O'Brien's principals
have become so firmly identified with
his attraction and have proved so pop
ular in the past that it would be folly
to even suggest a change. Notably
among these are Eddie MaZier, Pete
Detzel and little Major Nowak, trio
of comedians almost as well known as
the star. For his principal support
and monologist this year, Mr.. O'Brien
has secured Harry Van Fossen, a jo-
vial comedian considered one of the
highest salaried and most unctuous
artists in black face. The vocal fea
lures are promised as particularly at
tractive, the singers all enjoying a rep
utation of the first magnitude and in
clude Nick Voerg, male soprano; Da-
vid Morris, a phenomenal basso, Jas.
tenor; Leslie Berry, baritone:
Charles r. Wright, tenor; Jonathan
Hall, tenor; F. b. Hodges, basso; Billy
Curran, tenor; and a large supporting
chorus and orchestra under the direc-
ton of Frank Fuhrer. OF course ev
eryone expects much from such dis
comedian as Neil O'Brien,
and this season as before he will be
the big feature of the elaborate first
part in new stories and songs of his
own invention, and will present new
one-act comedy founded on the tenn
perance question, entitled Demon
Rum. or a Dry Town." of which he is I
the author. Those series of sketches |
of humorous negro life, a new one |
each year. conceived and written by |
Mr. O'Brien. are considered the fun !
NEST contributions TO the minstrel |
stage. This years installment is said |
to be the wittiest of all and not only |
gives the star great opportunities for |
fun making. but all his principals have |
parts that are calculated to cause I'M
usual waves of mirth.

LILO.
The navy league issued a statement
pointing out a striking change in pub
lie sentiment toward the enlargement
OF both the navy and the army. The
National Civic Federation is to con-
fer with representatives of peace So
cieties and of the army and navy on
a program for adequate defense of
the nation.
Among recent converts TO strong
er military arm for the government
the league quotes Joseph H. Choate,
former ambassador TO England;
Charles W. Eliot, formerly president
of Yale: Andrew B. Humphreys, ex-
ecutive director of the American
Peace and Arbitration letgue; former
President Taft, Vice President Mar
shall, Congressman Mann, and F.
Houston Shaw. a publicist.
Although President Powell of the
Fore River Ship & Engine company
denied that his firm had made any
cCntrac, TO build submarines for a bel
Iigerent power Of Europe, the belief
prevailed in official quarters today that
% submarines totaling $11.o0O.O00 in
cost soon would be built for Great
Britain by this concern.

EIGHTEEN MONTHS FOR
BERNARD BAUMHUETER

Sheriff Geo. j. Brown had little diff
4iculty in landing Bernard Baum-
shueter at Billings. He was brought
back to Dickinson, where he pleaded
guilty to the charge Of forgery and
received d penitentiary sentence 81
18 months.
Bernard Baumhueter forged a $50
check in Dickinson q few weeks ago,
taking the same TO q store, where he
purchased about $5 worth of goods.
~ was on Saturday night and he only
wanted g few dollars ID change to do
him ~ over Sunday, UNFAIRLY offering
TO leave the balance with the store.
This looked all right and when Ber-
nard returned Monday he was handed
the balance IN currency and that
night he took the train west.
The forgery was not discovered un-
til late In the week. States Attorney
u r.. Cain ISSUED a warrant at once,
and Sheriff Brown commenced on the
case, He had reason to think that
some one was writing to the young
criminal at Billings and followed up
the clew with the result that. the ar
rest was made within a few hours
after the Stark county sheriff reached
the Montana town.
Bernard Baumhueter had been
around Stark county some for two or
three years. He attended school at
sRichardton, later coming to this city,
where he had employment for a time.
Last winter he claims to have been
at Strassburg, this state. His father
