HARVARD MAY GET
BRICKLEY TO COACH
II HaughtOn Wants to Step Out
Former Captain May Sue
Ceed Him.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Dec. 26.-If
Percy d. Haughton decides to lay aside
the toga Of his football coachship at
Harvard. one man who has no small
backing as his successor is Charles f.
Brickley, captain Of the famous 1914
eleven. and the best drop kicker ever
developed.
Although Brickley has signed again
to coach the Johns Hopkins eleven
next fall. 1t is believed he would be
permitted to cancel that contract II
Harvard tenders him the position of
head coach.
Harvard alumni are loath TO see
Haughton pass out OF Crimson grid
iron activities, but II he declares that
he has made up his mind to quit the
active part of coaching a big effort
will be made to have him act as ad-
visory coach.
Brickley has demonstrated in more
ways than one that he has the knack
Of instilling into other men the points"
which he picked up while a pupil OF
Haughton's.
He taught the Penn State boys the art
of drOp-kicking last summer, which
served them in good stead during the
season, and then jumped over TO Balti-
more, taking a nondescript squad OF
players and turning out the best eleven
ever developed at Johns Hopkins.
The Johns Hopkins team, although II
lost two games, both to opponents out
of its class, succeeded I'm scoring in
every contest played. The season at
Baltimore, too, was big success finan-
cially.
Brickley always was an apt pupil and
found little trouble in transferring the
basic truths of football. both in theory
and action, into the men under him.
With Brickley acting under the care
ful eye of Haughton, and assisted by a
corps of associate coaches, Harvard

Many New Fields Will
Help 4 thIeticS Here
Coming Year Expected to Be Best in the History OF
Sports in Capital Owing to Increased Facilities
for Various Branches
BY BRYAN MORSE.

Athletes of the District of Column
bia and followers of all branches of
sport have reason to feel proud of
their exploits during the past year
and unless all signs fail the 1916
activities are bound to surpass the
expectations of even the most san
guine.
There are the regular sporting
events staged by the colleges and
schools here, and while Georgetown
and Catholic University can be
looked upon to set hot pace prom
ises are held out that the coming
year will present greater facilities
than ever for the athletic events.
Plans under way by Col w. W.
Harts, U. S. A., in charge of public
buildings and grounds. for the improve
ment of the ground across from the

The new stadium at Central High
School which Is large enough for

will handle the athletes at that school
and will provide place for the annual
high school championship football series.
Not in the history of scholastic spots
here have the schools been able to
boast a place of their own for attn
letics being forced in the past to rely
upon the never-failing Kindness of

Her record besides being the best ind-

Department Of Commerce Calls

Acid Shell Ad.

Washington. July 2o.-Letters of re-
proof written by Secretary Redfield
were sent today to the Cleveland
Automatic Machinery company, Of
Cleveland. Ohio, and the American Ma
chinist, a New York trade magazine,
dealing with the publication of an adj
vertisement of poisonous, acid loaded
shells. 1t was announced by the de-

Wilson, after looking over the letters
prepared by Secretary Redfeld, di-
rected Acting Secretary Sweet to for
ward them.
The letter to ]. P. Brophy, general
manager Of the Cleveland concern,
characterizes the advertisement in
question as "atrocious'' and says:
At a time when every instinct of patri-
otism calls for calm and self-restraint,
when sobriety of statement is almost a su-
prerne duty, you, as you admit, to gain
notice to an advertisement, draw a pic
ture of human misery as a means of earn
ing a profit through the sale of machines
to produce 1t.
In his letter to the Hill Publishing
company, publishers of the American
Machinist, Secretary Redfeld wrote:

SHANKLIN RECALLED
FOLLOWING QUARREL
Consul General at Mexico City
Ordered Home After Clash
With Brazilian Minister.

Washington, d. c., July 2o.-Arnola
shanklin.i American consul general in
Mexico City, is on his way to Wash
ington, under orders from the state
department to report upon conditions.
This was stated officially today and
incidentally it was admitted that Mr..
Shanklin has been withdrawn ternpo-
rarily from duty in Mexico City to
avoid continuation of friction with
Senior Cardoza, the Brazilian minister
there.
Last week Mr.. Shanklin went to the
Mexican capital to carry on Red Cross
relief work. Some differences as to
methods developed between the consul
general n the Brazilian minister.
They were not serious, but as Senior
Cardoza has been for many months
looking after American interests in a
manner so thorough and satisfactory
as to win the gratitude of the state de-
partment officials, they regarded it as
only proper to remove any causes Of
friction quite regardless Of the merits
of the question.

PRISONER ADMITS
five AK MURDERS
Man Who Confessed to Blue
Island, ILL. Crimes May Be
Responsible For Viii

Chicago, July 20.-Police of a num-
Der Of cities today delved into records
of mysterious AK murders while two
Chicago detectives and Mayor Jones.
of Blue Island, ILL.,, left for Buffalo to
bring back Casimir Areizewski, who is
said to have cofessed to the murder Of
Jacob Mislich, his wife. his daughter,
Mrs. Many Mansfield and her baby,
Mary Mansfield, II Blue Island, MI,
July S, 1914. Aeri Areizwski was a
boarder at the Mislich home and he told
the Buffalo police that he waited until
the family was asleep and then killed
his victim with an ak.
A similarity Of series of ak murders
which began four years ago in Colo
RADIO Springs stretched across the coun-
try to Ellsworth, Kan, to Monmouth,
Ill, and then to Villisca, Ia, and east
to Boston, led the police to believe that
perhaps one man was responsible for
all the crimes. The murder of the four
persons in Blue Island, ILL.,, in 1914,
brought the total number Of victims to
81.
All he murders were committed by
a mar who used an AK and the crimes
were all the work Of a man who virtual
ly left no clew behind. In each in
stance he waited until the persons were
asleep. All the crimes We're committed
on a Sunday night.

to which Areizewski will be questioned
