ALL-STAR TEAM WILL
MEET INDIAN ELEVEN
Game Will Be Played at Fenway
Park on Saturday, Nov. 2S;
Proceeds For Charity

Boston, Mass, Nov. 19.-All-star
football teams have been picked season
after season, and by experts. This
year an all-star team will go up
against the Carlisle Indians at Fenway
Park, Saturday, November 2S. This
game promises to be a unique contest.
The proceeds of the game will go to
charity, the money to go to the Chill
drens leland Sanatorium fund, and to
the Red Cross.
This contest was arranged last
Spring, when contracts were signed by
Glenn Warner, the Carlisle football di-
rector, and President Lannin, of the
Boston American League Club.
For the All-Stars, Hamilton Fish
will act as captain, and the former
Harvard leader will get into the game
at his old position of tackle The
players from the New York district
will be coached by Fish, and the
finishing touches will be put on at his
country home at Garrison, on the
Hudson. The players about Boston
will be coached in the same forma-
tions and with the same signals by
Harry Gardner, the Harvard uarter-
back of last years team. A week be-
fore the game the full squad will get
together and the best men will be Sc
lected to start the game against the
Indians. The players will be taken
in hand by PS~Sg Haughton after the
Harvard Yale game for their final pol
ishing.
Some of the most noted football
Aplayers of the East will get into the
game, and the old-timers are very
anxious to resume gridiron activity.
So many have volunteered that it is
likely that practically a new eleven
will play in each period for the ALL
Stars. In addition to Fish and Gard
ner, Ted Coy. the great Yale captain
of 1910, will be in the lineup, with
"Hobey" Baker, of Princeton, and
''ToP' Pendleton, captain of the Tigers
in 1912, and Philbin, of Yale. Dart
mouth will be represented among 9TH
ers by Sherwin, and Williams by
Wadswirth, the former quarterback.
Other New England colleges also are
expected to be represented in the
final makeup of the eleven. Harvard,
naturally, will have the larger repre-
sentation, and in addition to those
named there will be Pat Grant, one
of the first of the rowing centers; Minot
the great plunging back; Percy and
Jack Wendell; Vic Kennard whose
drop kick defeated Yale at New Ha-
ven in 1908; Crawford Blagden. the
Crimson tackle of more than a decade
ago; Huntington, Hitchcock, Wiggles-
worth, Parkinson, Dick" Lawrence
and the Wilmington brothers, Paul and
Lothrop, both captains in their senior
years at Harvard.

Gloom is spread all over Tech. 1t
was announced yesterday that Beck is
not likely to play against Steelton.
Beck has q bad shoulder.
The game at Williamsport last Sat
urday was a hard one for Beck, and
he has not been able to show his usual
form in practice. Coach ID. Forrest
Dunkle is of the opinion that Beck
will be needed next Thursday, and he
does not care to take any chances in
having him put out of the Central
game by probable injury Saturday.
Steelton High will come to Harris
burg with an entirely new line of tao
tics. Coach Ed C. Taggart has been
drilling the Steelton team in trick for
nations and in forward passes and
Steelton will have to be watched.
Coach Taggart held final scrimmage
with the scrubs this Afternoon. To-
morrow light practice will be in order.
Central Getting Ready
Central is not losing any opportun-
ity to get in shape for the game at
Wilkes Barre Saturday. Every man
on the Central squad who has shown
anything like form is being tried out.
Numerous shifts were made yesterday
in the Central lineup by Coach Paul
Smith, and while some of the regulars
may be missing, Central expects to
have q very creditable lineup against
Wilkes-Barre High.

FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
May BE Played Between East and
West Next Season

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 19-Thomas
X. Richards, undergraduate manager
of the Harvard football team, last
night said that his statement as to
the possibility of a football game next
year for the championship of the
country, reported in dispatch from
Lincoln Neb., was based merely on a
hope that such a contest might be ar
ranged.
He said there had been no serious
discussion OF the proposition to his
knowledge, but he felt it was the
general sentiment among the football
leaders of the Eastern colleges that
such a game would be of value to
the sport.

MOOSE IS ALMOST
DEAD, SAYS TAFT
Ex-President Tells DetrOiters lie
Is Glad Party Has Nearly
Ceased To Be.

Detroit, Dec. 19.-"The initiative,
referendum and recall are complete
negation of the representative system
established by the Pilgrims and Puri-
tans," declared ex-President Taft In an
address tonight at the annual dinner
Of the New England Society OF Detroit.
1.-THE greatest debt we owe the Phi
grims and Puritans is for the principle
of representative government. Inc mi
tiative, referendum and recall are
reversion TO IN earlier type OF pure
democracy that failed in Athens and
Rome and that always has failed where
il has had trial in any community
except small community, under pc
culiar conditions different from ours.
Legislation should be discussed and
snould be formulated to meet the de-
fects that come out in discussion. That
is what legislators are for. The de-
tails of legislation involve that con-
structive ability that only experts can
be expected TO have. The Initiative
gives to small percentage OF the
electorate an opportunity to compel the
whole electorate to continue TO vote on
referendum, and increases their cleo
toral duties beyond the point where
t0ey are VII W ~
consequence is that, instead Of stImu-
lating attention to electoral duties,
these new nostrums tire the voters and
Lave the government to the control Of
a small minority.
"The recall is an institution cIlcu-
lated TO take all the courage and stiff
ening out of public officials and to
make the public's agents jellyfish in
the most constructive work intrustpd
TO them, in doing the business OF the
people. 1t has the strongest tendency
TO limit public servants to a listless
and colorless performance of their du-
ties in order not TO arous- the enmity
Of any one.
81 am glad to see, from the results
of the last election, that this cult f
pure democracy is losing its fascina-
ton. and that the party which is chiefly
responsible for its spread has almost
wholly ceased TO be-"

London, Dec 19.-John Bulls Christ
mas dinner will cost him fully II TO 20
per cent more than it did last year.
For the best of reasons prices are 90
per cent higher as the result of war
with Turkey and the cutting off of the
best supplies. Food prices quoted here
to-day show butter at the highest

grades being 3S cents pound.
According to figures compiled by the
Roard of Trade the level of prices in
the big towns is II per cent higher
than five months ago, and 10 per cent
in the small towns. Comparison is
made with Berlin figures which showed
more than 16 per cent increase in De-

Washington, Dec. 19.-Secretary Gar
rison was in conference with members
of his recently created special commits
sion for investigation of coast defences
to-day. The commission is ready to re-
port.
It has been pointed out that one OF
the principal deficiencies of the present
system Of coast defences is tn range
Of the heavy coast artillery. Its cal

ships Of European navies are at pres

then swarming, unrestrained, about the
counsel table.
The impression WAS that the jury
would be out for several hours. The
final words in District Attorney
Gagans summing up practically pre-
cluded all possibility of first degree
verdict, and many persons figured that
an odd-sounding request by the prose-
cution at the conclusion of Justice
Morschauser's charge suggested plea
for acquittal.
The court laid down his written
charge at 1903 o'clock, and then said:
Are there any requests from coun
sci for charge"
Frank Comesky, Of counsel for
Cleary, started from his seat and then
sat down quickly.
Come on, gentlemen the court re-
marked, "have you any points on which
you desire me to CHARGE
District Attorney Gagan rose.

PENDANT is presumed innocent until he
is proved guilty beyond a reasonable

the judge.
Comesky got up and said. falteringly,

sumed innocent
"Now. tell you ! have done that
already" the court exclaimed testify.
al know what | have charged"
Gagan and Comesky sat down, their
expressions showing they still doubted.
So Justice Morschauser re-read an
early paragraph in his charge. bringing
ont clearly what the attorneys had re-
quested.
Action Causes Amusement.
Considerable amazement resulted
from Mr.. Gagan's singular request,
which would not have been the case
/ had the question originated with the
I lawyer who was retained to procure
/ Cleary's release.
] The Judge again asked if there were
any further requests, and. receiving no
answer, ordered the deputy sheriffs in
charge of the jury to be sworn in
again. This over, the jury retired.
Cleary appeared hopeful when he
was returned to his cell in the Jail,
which adjoins the courthouse. He had
| said few words TO his wife, who vas
crying, and had placed his right arm
affectionately on her shoulder. He left
her when Comesky stepped over and
told her TO keep up.
Several women crowded up 10 Mrs
Cleary TO offer sympathy, but Mr..
Comesky assured them that their COM
forting remarks were unnecessary.
Mrs. Cleary remained in the court for
half hour longer. and then went TO
the Jail TO have dinner with her hus-
band. Ambrose Cleary, the slayer's

The Judges charge consumed Just
one hour lie began by reciting the
details Of the Indictment. and. in
speaking Of the legal presumption OF
Innocence, said: "You have heard vari-
Gus witnesses for the defence testify
that the defendant was Of good char.
acter. That evidence may in itself
raise n reasonable doubt. no matter
how strong the evidence against him.
OF the question Of reconciliation he
said, among other things:
"The mind sometimes acts with a
CELEBRITY impossible to measure"
Each witness was discussed briefly
BY the court.
There was scene in this court

the close, (which, unfortunately. no
one could help. and which should not
affect you. The daughter came in after

speaking OF that part Of the defence
embracing IL. "is not an excuse for
crime. Finally. understand this, the
state does not seek vengeance, but the
law must be preserved"
The court defined first and second
degree murder and first and second
degree manslaughter.
District Attorney Gagan's summing
up was begun at 1l:07 a. m. Mr.. Ga
gan had a much larger audience than
Mr.. Comesky, who, beginning his final
plea to the jury at 9:O7, finished at
1i:05 o'clock.
Cleary was as composed az usual
throughout the morning, but his wife
bit her lower lip internationally and
very frequent tears started 10 her
eyes, not because Of any specific de-
velopment but purely because of the
steady pressure of worry since the
trial began.
Mrs. Anna Cleary Newman. Cleary's
daughter, was not in court when the
verdict was returned. She had not
appeared in court during the day, and
il was said she had returned to her
home in New York.
The news Of the acquittal of her
father was communicated to the young
widow last night, but efforts TO see
or talk with her were unavailing. The
negro hallboy, obeying orders TO keep
Mrs. Newman from being seen, denied
she was in the house.
