Dough" Ray, the big fullback whose
line-p1unging came as such a shock to
Virginia since he was completely under
cover until the game, has been on the
ailing list with fever, making the fourth
case to keep company with the regulars.
Instructed to take things easy against
Rose-Poly, the few regulars who played
against the Indiana eleven at times grew
extremely careless and came in for stiff
reprimand for some of their oversights,
in defending the forward pass attack of
the visitors. The queer shifts of Rose
Poly, which were steadily smashed by the
Commodore forwards, offered excellent
practice against so open form of play,
since for the most part the McGug1n ma
chine has heretofore been confronted with
old-style formation.

Auburn, November 9.-(Special.)- Last
Saturdays victory, slight as it was, was
one of the most costly of the season,
two of the mainstays being laid out,
both probably for the season.
The jinx has been pursuing Jack Wynne
all the season, but every time until last
Saturday he has been able to come back
for one more charge at the enemy But
last Saturday the jinx got the best of it,
and Jack has probably seen the best side
of his football career
The other victim was Cary Robinson.
who was putting up the best game of
his career when he was laid out. In the
third quarter he had his sprained ankle
hurt again, but was able to continue
until the game was almost over. After
he had returned to Auburn he was seized
with chills and fever, and is now in

On account of the varsity uniforms fail

they worked hard enough today to make

better today than at any time during the

GADSDEN

Gadsden, November s.-(Special.)
What may be the opening of battle
between the courts of Alabama and Of
Georgia was an injunction granted to-
day by Judge J. E. Blackwood of the
circuit court, restraining Walter
Weaver from bringing suit against the
Alabama Great Southern Railroad COM
pany in Georgia courts for personal in
juries sustained in Alabama. 1t seems
that Alabama laws prohibit the bring
ing of an action in this state which
should be heard in Georgia, but Geor-
gia has no such provision in her laws.
Bar associations of various Alabama
cities have complained frequently that
Georgia lawyers have retained agents
to solicit damage suits. If made per-
manent, the injunction will compel
Weaver to bring the suit in this state,
if he desires damages. In his opinion,
Judge Blackood states that Georgia
statutes, different from Alabama's,
should not apply to an occurrence in
this state.

only as violation Of international law
but in degree as a violation Of Ger
many's assurances to Ambassador &C.

The deportations are regarded by
some officials here as an attempt to
release Geman workers for the firing
line by replacing them with Belgians.

Charge Grew in which he stated that
he had discussed the situation infor-
mally and unofficially with Under-sec-

The latter admitted that definite pol

Senatorial I Probe
into Alleged Misuse
Of Money in Campaign
for the Presidency

States senators. Before the polls had
closed last Tuesday charges OF corrup-
ton were being openly made by DEM
ocrst tic chieftains and predictions were
freely circulated that exposures would
follow the election
Evidence is being gathered upon
which to base contests in the election OF
Harry s. New and James E. Watson as
senators from Indiana and Representa-
tive Howard Sutherland as senator in
West Virginia. New. on the face of the
Indiana returns, defeated Majority
Leader Kern and Watson won from
Senator Taggart. Sutherland in West
Virginia defeated Senator Chiffon.
1t has been charged by Democrats
that Negroes were colonized from the
South in states where the Republicans
triumphed' by small majorities.
If contests are brought they will
have to be initiated in the new Sen
ate as each legislative body is the
Judge of its own members. The Dem
ocrats will control the new Senate by
a majority OF IL votes.
