The southern gridirons will be
dark" Saturday. but in the east two
of the most important games of the
season will be fought. In New Haven
the home gridiron of Yale, the Ell
will clash with the Harvard Crimson
in their annual struggle. The Blue
and Crimson are the most deadly of
foes and the game always attracts the
interest OF the country.
Saturdays battle will mark the
thirty-seventh meeting between these
two institutions. OF the Sc previous
engagements, Yale has won % and
Harvard eight, and four have re-
suited in ties. Four of the eight
Harvard victories have been scored
in the last four years, while two
years previous to that the struggle
resulted in a scoreless tie. Yale's last
victory was in 1909, when the Crimson
was defeated s to 0.
The last two years have turned in
overwhelming victories for the Grim
son. This year Coach Tad Jones has
developed a wonderful team, which.
will undoubtedly give Coach Haugh-
toms eleven hard battle. Harvard
has a mighty machine and the battle
will be well worth holding the in
terest of the American sporting pub
list.

Out at Redwood Field on Satur-
day afternoon merry little battle
will be staged. Birmingham and
Howard colleges, ancient foes,
meet in their annual struggle.
With both elevens in perfect con-
dition for the big game, a lively
battle can be expected.
Howard followers are confident
of the success of their team in the
game, but are clamoring for odds
in betting. There Is an unusual
amount Of betting that takes place
on this game and there's no odds
to it, The two elevens play more
to kill than to score and for this
reason alone the score is always
low.
For the last two years Birming-
ham has held Howard to a to 8
tie when indications pointed to an

AID FOR DYE-MAKING
SOUGHT IN CONGRESS
Representatives of Industry Ap-
pear at House Ways and
| Eleans Hearing.

Appealing for legislative action OF
some kind to encourage the dye-mak- e
Ing industry I'm this country, more
than two score manufacturers and
their agents appeared today before
the House Committee on Ways and
Means.
The representatives of manufactur-
ing interests, which have been hard
hit by the shortage of dyes since the
outbreak of the war. supported the
Hill bill. which is sponsored by the
American Chemical Society. This
measure would put a protective duty
on all dyes, and would admit the raw
products free, thus encouraging the
making of dye by Americans who
would have the protection under the
high duties against the dumping of
foreign dyes into this market.

Kued that the dye-making industry
in this country cannot be built up un-
til American capitalists are assured

In its comment on the administration
of Indian affairs the board says:
"The field Investigations made by the
members OF the board have forced us
TO the conclusion that Congress should
make some definite provision for old
and destitute Indians. The present
ration system Is seriously defective and
many of the cases OF hunger and destl-
tuition found have been among those
Indians owning valuable allotments OF
land or timber or having an interest in
large incomes from the leasing of tribal
lands From the fund known as In

derived largely from the leasing of
tribal lands, there was expended dur
ing the fiscal year. 1914. for agency and
tribal purposes, $67S.31l.90.
Adequate Appropriation Asked.
This being indian money, II should
not be expended for agency purposes
without first consulting the Indians to
whom IT belongs. and the burden OF
caring for the old and destitute of any
tribe should be provided for from tribal
funds before any OF 1t Is expended by

ministraton.
An adequate appropriation should be
made by Congress each year to cover

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 9.-Franz
Bopp, German consul-general here and
Baron L. II. Won Setback, yice-consul,
were included in bomb plot indict-
ments voted by the United States
grand jury which will meet Thursday
to return them according to John
W. Preston, United States district at
torney.
Fifty-nine indictments in all were
voted he said. with neutrality cases
1t was understood that Mr.. Bopp
and a number of other persons, in
Guiding foreign government represent
ativer, were the subjects of indict-
ments. in connection with a series of
alleged violations of American neu-
trality.
Bopp was reported indicted under
the Sherman antitrust law and un-
der the section of the penal code
which forbids a conspiracy to set on
foot military expeditions from the
United States against a friendly ma
ton. Officials understand that this
section of the law was resorted to
because Of alleged plans for an eX-
pedition against Canada.
Twenty indictments were returned
also at San Francisco by the same
grand jury in the steamship Sacra-
mento case, alleging the making of
false clearance papers in connection
with the ship, which it was alleged
was used to supply German warships
at sea, using San Francisco as a base.
The consul general of Turkey was
among those indicted in that case.
The new Indictment, the message
said. supersedes those previously
found in the same case. Trial of the
two cases is not expected before late
in April.

there are several ayowed candidates
in the field, and it would not be at

develop into quite movement be

CHURCH FRIDAY
A MEETING, NATIONAL IN SCOPE
is BROUGHT TO DOORS OF ARD
MORE PEOPLE. SOCIAL FEAT.
URES HAVE BEEN PLANNED.

The foreign missionary society OF
the Christian church will conduct a
rally at the First Christian church, OF
this ciJy. Friday, February 11th. The
society is holding rallies in the dit
ferent states for the purpose of inspir-
ing interest in foreign missionary
work. The meeting in our city was
not arranged by the local church but
by the general society at head-quar-
ters. Eight churches in the State OF
Oklahoma were selected in which to
hold these rallies, in succession. The
secretary Of the foreign Christian mis-
sonary society and two missionaries
are to be present and have charge
of the meeting. All the neighboring
Christian churches are to send their
pastors and delegates to the rally.
\ large number Of visitors are to be
in the city and without doubt the af-
fair has never been eXcelled in Ard
more, so far as Importance and inter
est is concerned. The program be-
gins at 10 o'clock in the morning and
lasts all day In addition to the ad-
dresses by the missionaries, visiting
pastors are to have places on the pro-
gram. Rev. J. w. Burns, pastor of the
local church, is to deliver an address
on "America's Responsibility In Evan
geli2ing the Christian Lands At
night moving pictures will be thrown
upon a screen, for the purpose OF show
ing the work of the missionaries in the
foreign fields, also to show the life of
the heather people.
The ladies' aid society of the church
will serve a luncheon in the basement
of the church at noon and big supper
is to be served at 6:30 p. m. The sup
per is featured as a mems supper
however, everybody is invited Only a
nominal price is to be charged for
these means, for the purpose Of de.
fraying the expense.
All the churches of the city are in
yited to participate in the rally as the
same is of general interest. The edu-
cational value Of the lectures to be de-
liyered is beyond estimate. The local
church is making a great effort to
make the rally a big success. 1t is
hoped that the people of our city will
bear the date in mind and arrange
their business matters so as not to in
teriere with the rally. But seldom do
our people have the privilege of at
tending an affair of this kind. 1t is
just like a national convention at
your door. No pledges or cash contri-
buttons will be called for.

district, arrived today, relieving the
situation.
Business in Arkansas City Is sus.
pended but a few of the merchants
are selling their wares from the sec.
ond floors of their stores, and from
box cars on the levee.
With water falling in the big lake
in southeastern Arkansas caused by
the breaking of Arkansas river lcvccs,
and with the Mississippi river levecs
still holding against the slowly rising
stream, reports from the flooded dis
tricts of Arkansas are much more
optimistic. It is believed the levees
will hold 57.5 feet. Cans Of men
working relays continue to toll inces-

b. Gilbert of Arkansas City, chair
man of the Tensas levee board, last
night issued a statement in which he
expressed confidence that all levees
between Helena and Lake Village will
hold.
Great suffering is reported from al
parts of the flooded district and much
livestock which had been driven to
high places is reported dying from
starvation. Two linemen who rowed
from McGehee to Arkansas City in
a skiff today rescued tive negroes
who had been forty-eight hours in
trees without food.
Mail service by boat was eGtab-
lished between Arkansas City and
McGehee today Conditions were
greatly improved yesterday in Claccn-
don, which was inundated in the
White river flood. The government
boat Quapaw took from the city ey-
eryone who wanted to go, thus re-
leving suffering caused by oyercrowd-
ed conditions.
Less than 5O0-all men-remain in
the city which has a population of
more than $500. Water this after
noon began to slowly recede from
