'a. .:''sp as s an 'sss:. s's':.,s. sss ! against the eligibility. of Guar terback Joplin of Alabama, Tennes- see authorities who preferred charges aver that two years ago Alabama pre- ferred similar charges against Pitcher Murphy of Tennessee. Even were this true, it is hard to see just where these authorities would. find Justification for their so-called "tattle-tale" tactics. To stoop to uEsportsmanlke practices just because rival has so fallen is neither praiseworthy nor justifiable. But it happens that Tennessee's charge that Alabama protested against Murphy Is totally false. Such tactics are not within keeping of the spirit which per vades the Crimson stronghold and not since 190s when Auburn and Alabama started war of exposure" has the state university protested against the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic as- sociation athlete
 The fact about the matter is that Murphy, or Sanders, as he was in- terchangabiy called. was professional balplayer. Alabama knew he was a professional. Umpire Mclaughlin, who had formerly seen service in the Ap- ralachian league, and who was um- piring all games on the university campus at the time Murphy was play ing with Tennessee, called the atten- tion of Alabama authorities to his professionalism. He offered to swear that he had umpired behind Murphy in the Appalachian league. But to Alabama the question of a players eligibility was matter for his col lege to decide, and an investigation of his case was refused. Murphy worked against Alabama and was de- feated.

Justice Lamar Takes Under Advise
ment Application for an
Appeal.

Justice Lamar of the Supreme Court
took under advisement today an appli-
cation for an appeal from the action
of Judge Newman of the Georgia fed
eral court in refusing to release Leo
NJ. Frank, the factory superintendent,
convicted of the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, on habeas corpus proceedings.
The justice did not intimate when he
would announce his decision.
Louis Marshall of New York, attor-
ney for Frank, arrived in Washington
today to present the appeal. The at
torney declined to state what course
would be pursued if Justice Lamar
should deny the appeal.
In addition to the formal appeal, Mr..
Marshall had prepared for the Justices
signature a certificate stating that in
his opinion there was probable cause
for appeal" Such a certificate is nee
essary in an appeal from the denial of
habeas corpus when the conviction is
in a state court.

Charged With Combination.
Through Attorneys Horace l.. q. At
kisson and Nathan b. Williams, the
court is told that October 20 last the
defendant and other companies doing
business in the District of Columpi
did "organize an unlawful combinatio
known and described as the Under
writer's Association, and through and
by means of such combination have un-
lawfully fixed and attempted to fix the
rates or premiums for hre insurance on
all property in the District of Colum-
bia."
Ihe charge is made that in further
ance of the alleged illegal combination
the defendant and other companies
have required their local agents to
enforce and collect the new rates, to
the damage of the plalntlff ana OTHERS
similarly situated. The new rates. the
court is advised, are from 20 per cent
to 100 per cent greater than the rates
charged for insurance risks before the
alleged unlawful agreement, and that
1t is impossible to secure contracts for
hre insurance within the District of
Columbia except at the prices and rates
liked by the new schedules.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF,

Today's official statements re-
veal the intense nature of the
fighting new in progress both east
and west, but indicate that, with
the possible exception of East
Prussia, there has been no signih-
cant change in the alignment of
the opposing forces.
The German statement tells~of
fight for possession of trench
in France, which was won by the
French, re-captured by the Ger
mans and finally abandoned. So
fierce was the struggle that the
trench was almost leveled by ar
tillery fire. No important move
ments are reported in the German
communication.
The French statement, while
saying that small gains have been
made here and there. mentions
German attacks at so MANY
points that it is apparent the al
lies have not been permitted
solely to take the offensive into
their own hands. Such ground
as they have won recently is not
to be held without hard fighting.
The fighting in Poland has be-
come most severe, and at points
along the line west of Warsaw
the issue is being fought out with
bayonets. The Berlin war Office
states that the Russian advance
in East Prussia has been checked
and that the Russians at Mlawa,
in Poland, near the Prussian bor-
der, have been defeated.
A French cruiser in the Strait
of Otranto, near the southern end
OF Italy, was torpedoed by an
Austrian submarine. It is stated
that the damage was slight, and
that no men were injured.

sas both have bills pending before the

prohibition in the District. They are
both determined to force the matter to
a vote, if possible, at the present ses-
sion of Congress. The legislative sit
uation, however. is such in the Senate
that it may not be possible to take up
a prohibition bill until the next regular
session.
A prohibition bill for the District will
not go through the Senate without
fight, however, for there are opponents
Of prohibition in the Senate who will
debate the matter at length.
