MURDERER ON TRIAL AT BOSTOl
Feeling Is High as Mayfield's Tria
 Starts at New Boston, Texas.

Texarkana, Jan. 12.-William May field, on trail in the district court at New Boston, Tex, charged with the murder of his aged parents and broth CT, was denied a change of venue by Judge O'Neal after large number 9f witnesses had been heard this mor1 ,ng. A motion was then made for k, continuance and this also was overruf cd Mayfield's attorney then made f, notion, accompanied by lengthy 2 r. gament, asking that the prisoner 4e flNst tried on 2 charge of insani ity, Dft ' tb motion the court also ov erruldd an ordered that the trial procIeed. "A toI nal plea of Not Guilty" wias thdn ent. red ard the task of drawin E jul fy vas begun.
 t $ net believed the jury( will be comp Veted before noon tomorf row and the hfaring of the case probH ply will requi3e the remainder of the week
 MayNeld appears very nervous and keeps his eye fixed on the }Hoor He never Apeaks except to an swer the questio\s of his lawyers. He still re- fuses tA make any stateme mt about the murNers further than to say that he did net commit them.
 The attendance at the tri3 al is very large. Interest is greater thlan in any case tried il the county in mtany years. It is openly declared that any effort to remove the prisoner from the coun- ty, by change of venue, or otherwise, would beyond doubt prefipitate a lynching. The universal sentiment is that Mayfield is guilty, but all favor disposition of bis case by Gue proc ess of law provided the court acts promptly and without delay. A former sheriff of the county is quoted as hav- ing told Judge O'Neal that any effort to take the prisoner out of the county would cause mob of thousand men to instantly deal with him summarilv.

London, Jan. 12-Montonegro is sui fering a steam roller attack similar to that which crumpled up it's neighbor Serbia. The Austrian onslaught, which has been a long ehs in preparation is being prosecuted with great vio lence, menacing some important posi- tions close to the Adriatic coast.

 Details of recent fighting, in which the Montenegrins were driven back by the Austrians, are contained in a state ment tonight by the Montenegrin con- sulate. The statement says:
 "The Austrian offensive continues to be energetically pushed against all our front, particularly to the north and east, where there has been des- perate fighting. The enemy greatly outnumbered us and has been attack ing furiously on the Eastern front from Ipex onward.
 We repulsed him several times with such heavy losses that our troops to recapture their lost positions, were forced to climb over masses of bodies. Nevertheless we have been obliged to evacuate the Berane.

 For the last four days the Aus trians have been delivering furious at tacks on our Mount Lovcen front sup ported by hurricane of uninterrupted fire from warships and the forts of Cattora, the enemy advanced as far as our first line defenses.

GUESSING AT COST OF ROADS

inq for Highways Difficuity of
Iowa Commission.

There are so many conflicting state
ments regarding the cost of road work
that the desirability OF comprehen-
sfve method of highway accounting is
evident in order that taxpayers may
not be Eisled concerning the total ex-
pense OF such work, according to
American Highway. The Iowa state
highway commission has had consid-
cradle difficulty in finding out what
the counties in that state have been
spending, because of this failure to
have : complete system of accounts.
One rich county reported collecting
$4,000 for road work, but after in
vestigation the commission found $780,
500 had been collected. An investiga-
tioa OF the accounts OF another
wealthy county reporting 1920 COLI
leeted revealed a total collection Of
&10e00. The discrepancies were not
<lua to an intention to hide the amount
Of the funds but merely to lack of
eood accounting.

INVENTION OF SIGNALS
Penn Military College Originated
Present System.
Sprung Them on Princeton In 1888
and Won Game as ResuIt-PIay-
ers outgeneraIed Opponents
by Using Numbers.

Here is most interesting article OF
the origin of football signals by r.
w. Maxwell, the famous Swarthmore
all-American guard of 1905:
{ signals seem to be an absolutely
essential part of football, and yet it
was not until 1883 that they were in
vented. From the November day in
| 1869, when Rutgers and Princeton
played the first game of football, until
1888, the colleges got along by using
systems which varied with every
eleven, letters being frequently used.
1t was left to Pennsylvania Military
college to originate the present system
of numbers.
Springs Stirring Coup.
'It was on a chill November after
noon in 1888 that Pennsylvania Mill
tary college flashed the number system
on the football world, and incidentally
used the single signals as the means
of coup whereby Princeton was
whipped at Chester by 6 to 0. The
numbers not only mystified Princeton,
but they so speeded up Penn Military's
play that it was able to outrush the
Tigers at every stage of the game,
which was witnessed by more than
1000 persons, a great football gather
ing for those days. From that day the
use of numbers for signals spread rap
idly.
Sew realize that Pennsylvania Mill

that the really big games in that sec

Pennsylvania Military college and the
University of Pennsylvania.

vania Military did not use trick plays,

The players outgeneraled their oppo-
nents, and the outgeneraling was done
by using system of numbers for sig

RevoIutionizes the Game.
Football signals now being used by
all of the teams were used for the first
time in this contest. Princeton was
swept off her feet by the speedy play,
and was outclassed and outplayed. 1t
was the most successful coup detat'
ever sprung by a football team. 1t |

With Sorrow.

An example of the genially naive is
the following, clipped from an ex-
change:
sit is with sorrow that we announce
an accident to Mrs. John Whitman,
wife of the well-known grocer, who
sells three pounds and half of sugar
for quarter. While he was chasing
her around the yard In fun the other
evening she stepped on an old tomato
can and severely laeerated her foot.
Should blood poisoning set in and she
be removed from our midst the Ban
ner will turn its column rules as a

Pittsburgh; Hogg, Princeton, and
Black of Yale, all have played far be-
yond the average. Each must be con-
sidered when the picking" day ar
| rives.
An eighteen-year-old youth named
Henry is one of the leaders in the fight
for tackle choice. He is the 225-pound
w. & j. linesman. Henry has been
smashing lines to ribbons this year and
despite his buck has been under most
of the punts. He is fast, powerful and
fearless.
Among the other tackles who are
notched high are Wheeler of Harvard !;
Thornhill of Pittsburgh; Wall and
Farnum of Brown; Horning of Col
gate; Cotton of Dartmouth Jewett of
Cornell; Ward of Navy; Jackson of
Chicago; Weimann of Michigan; Ben
nett of Northwestern Koch of Wis
consin; Mathews of Pennsy; Mclean
of Princeton, and Seidel of Pittsburgh.
The battle for end positions is
merry one. 1t involves Higgins of
Penn State of All-American caliber,
year ago; Baston of Minnesota; Bre-
los, Chicago; both Yale wing men;
Harte of Harvard; Carlson of Pitts
burg; Highley of Princeton; Meyers,
Wisconsin; c. Coolidge, Harvard !; Mel
sen, Colgate; Whitehill, w. & j.;
Dunno, Michigan.
So, you see, this business of pick
ing eleven men from that crop is 60
ing to be quite job.

The achievements of Harry LeGore
of Yale, so far have given him ranking
smong the greatest halfbacking per-
sons on the profesh. There isn't any,
thing that LeGore cannot do-and do
exceptionally well.
Andy Hastings, star Pittsburgh
backfeld, has shown with especial bril-
lance so far. He was ranked by some
rs an All-American man in 1915. This
season he has played far beyond any
thing ever shown before. Unless he
slips back during the games to come

is ranked as "a second Mahan." But

In the West. He has been RESPONSE
Bile in the main for the great scoring
done so far by his team. Driscoll of
Northwestern is another whose work
has scintillated. Harley of Ohio state
has starred in every game-and in ev-

Among the other halfbacks and full

much thought are:
Mueller, Cornell; Maulbetsch, Mich
