The Case of Harry Legore

The case of Harry Legore and the four
other Yale athletes is a striking example,
as some one has called 1t, of a similar
case before.
No one charges that Legore is In any
sense a professional at heart. 1t isn't
charged that he received any money. He
merely received his board for a short
period until he discovered that he was
violating a university rule, and for the
rest of the period he paid his expenses
for the pleasure of playing a game he
liked.
Legore, knowing the ways of our anna
teur rule guardians, should have looked
more carefully into details before he was
willing to accept an unpaid for strip of
bacon or a brace of eggs. He didn't-so
he is a professional-where others are
getting regular kale out of the game
through an athletic ability that makes
their written article worth while.

Cornell and Harvard

Cornell, under the instructorship OF AL
Sharpe, has been coming forward more
rapidly In football than she has received
credit for.
Cornell hasn't yet reached the football
height that her track and crew legions
have gained, but she has been well upon
the way for some time. So Cornell on
saturday has at least a healthy outside
chance to beat Harvard, and even IL the
lthacan invaders are repulsed, the battle
is almost sure to be close one-too close
for Crimson comfort. And IL Cornell
should win, there would, Of course, be no
Juollation at allaround Ann Arbor, Mich,

TAKE STEPS TO
 FIND LYNCHERS

ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. 1S.-With the arrival of Governor Nat E. Harris, it is expected that definite steps will be taken by the authorities to investi- gate the lynching early yesterday morning near Marietta. of Leo M. Frank. victim of Georgian prejudice.
 In some quarters it is believed that the outrage on Frank will go unpun- ished. owing to fear on the part of the authorities of an outbreak of the high feeling against Frank and his lawyers.
 Body Viewed by Hundreds.
 Franks body reached here early to- day. and was taken to an undertaking establishment where hundreds of cu- rious people viewed it When the re- mains reached here the body was in the same condition as when it was cut down by Marietta citizens. The face was covered by a white hand kerchief. and the feet and legs still wore the leg-irons. The rope around Franks neck showed that an expert had tied it.
 The body will be buried here. un- less Franks mother who lives in New York, makes request for it.

LOST ISLANDER MAY
 YIELD ITS GOLD TO
 ROGERS THIS WEEK

much information as he could. He told Mir. Rogers that his room aboard the ship was on the port side of the vessel, about ten feet from the side of the ship. In the purser's safe is one package of Dawson gold. contain ing about S2OO.0O0, and other gold dust is aboard the ship, much of 1t having been in pokes which the sue cessful Klondilxe miners aboard the ship were carrying in their pockets. Mir. Rogers believes there is about a quarter of a million dollars in recov- erable gold aboard the vessel. Capt. Henry Finch. a well known diver who made an unsuccessful search for the Islanders treasure. told Mir. Rogers of the location of the Islander, but the spot which Rogers has located is fully a mile from the spot which Finch said was the Islanders last resting place. In addition to the in- formation Purser Bishop gave him. Alr. Rogers has a chart of the vessel, and information as to tides and sub marine geology, furnished by the coast and geOdetic survey.
 Islander Like Seattle"
 The Islander was a vessel with an iron hull. and is said to look some thing like the Pacific Coast Steam. ship Company's "City of Seattle" al- though she had no hurricane deck. and her house" ended a few feet abaft amidsnips. Her after deck consisted of the dining saloon, and her after hold.
 Mir. Rogers was asked if there was any possibility of the Islander being submerged in sllt. "Of course there is but ! think it improbable" he replied. 'T do not think the Islander has settled at an, but if she has the chances of recovering any of her gold would be small"
 That the Islander is lying beyond the dtpth at which the teredo bores, is Mr. Rogers belief The teredo would probably have partially destroy ed the superstructure of the vessel # the Islander were in shallower wa ter. but in Alaska this form of para site is said to thrive only to a depth of ninety feet These mollusks will attack only wood. when submersed.
 All tests Of the Rogers torpedo-like diving apparatus have proven it's eff ficiency for an expedition such as that on the Islander, and the descent this week of the treasure-seeker will ex- cite great interest.
