NAL Turkey Day Game

Failure to Kick Goal Cost Hays Nor
NAL Turkey Day Game
Playing on field which in spite of
careful preparation, was little slip
perry due to a light skirt of snow
which fell during the game, Washburn
took a holly contested game by a
score of to 6.
During the first half the Tigers
outplayed the Washburn Blues con-
sistently, keeping the ball in their
possession and in Washburn territory
nearly all of the time. The first quar-
ter was largely an exchange of punts
with Hays showing little superiority
on returns and gains. In the second
quarter, Fink, Hays right half, made
a fifteen yard run around left end,
bringing the ball to the ten yard line.
Line plunges, aided by two fve-yard
penalties on the Washburn team,
brought it within three yards of the
goal. The Washburn line held and
Lindell got off thirty-fve yard kick
the twenty yard line by an end run.
Lynn Ordway caught high pass from
the midst of the Washburn backs and
dragging two tacklers across the goal
made the first touchdown of the game.
An attempt to kick goal from slight
angle failed.
Hays received and carried the ball
well down the field when the end of
the half was called. Both teams
struck for the training quarters, leav-
ing a crowd shivering but too inter
ested in seeing the last half of the
game to leave the grounds. Washburn
came back strong in the third quarter
but was twice thrown back from goal
Hays kicking out of danger. On the
third attempt, Washburn made their
first and ten with off tackle plays
then with long pass of nearly fifteen
yards to Stevens. Three attempts to
score through the line failed and or
the fourth down Palmatier, slipped
through left tackle barely placing the
oval over the goal line- Wykof kick
ed goal.
Hays kicked to Washburn and the
remainder of the third quarter anC
all of the fourth was a see-saw in the
center of the field with neither team
getting within scoring distance of th'
goal.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

As I was appointed Fuel Admins
traitor by the Citizens Meeting with
the Commissioners last Tuesday night,
to act with the Fuel Commission con-
sisting of all the retail coal dealers
of the city, appeal to all citizens of
Hays to be as conservative with their
coal as possible All parties having
less than one weeks supply of coal
on hand should communicate with me
at once as it is our intention to take
care of those in the greatest need
first. Call telephone 241 from 9 am.
to p. m, and 47O after 5 p. m. When
making your appeals for coal advise
just how much coal you have on hand
and how long this supply will last you.
Our dealers have been doing every
thing they can to distribute the coal
where it is most needed and when
these appeals are made to me, the
daler receiving a car of coal will be
supplied with the names of those in
most urgent need. At a meeting of
the City Commissioners at IL 100 am.
Wednesday, the recommendations of
the Citizens Committee were adopted
to be effective at once.

Dead Animals Fed to Hogs MAY
Spread Tuberculosis


Spread Tuberculosis
Warning against the feeding of dis
eased cattle carcasses to hogs is
sounded by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. A confer
ence of State and Federal officials,
held early in October, to deal with
matters of tuberculosis eradication,
brought to light numerous instances
where hogs contracted tuberculosis
after feeding on carcasses of tubercu-
lous cattle. In one case nearly an en-
tire drove of hogs showed LESSONS of
tuberculosis, which at first the owner
could not account for. Later he adj
mitted to the veterinarian investigat-
ing the case that several months be-
fore he had fed to the hogs the carcass
of cow that ''never did very we'll"
The Bureau of Animal Industry
urges livestock owners to have q
careful autopsy made on animals dy-
ing on the farm or killed because of
sickness, IN order that the dfnite
cause of trouble may be learned. Car
casses that show LESSONS Of infectious
diseases should not be fed. Instead,
such carcasses should be cared for so
that no part can be eaten by hogs.
Thorough destruction of the carcass
by burning, or by deep burial under a
liberal application of quicklime, is the
proper procedure in such cases. At

ROUND OF CONFESSION

 TO CONVICT ONE MAN
Men Held as Gamblers Re leased to Get Robber; Lat

Truth is stranger than fiction, al though the old English statement that ''the law shall take it's course" oft times strays from the straight and narrow; sometimes to the advantage of some unfortunate prisoner. and with detriment to the other poor unfortun. ate
 Only week ago, three men were ar rested by the police for playing poker the men, however, told the officers that all their funds had been stolen by two robbers who had entered their rooR and took everything of value. This set the police to thinking, and they realized that if the robbers were arrested it would take strong evidence to convict them. Local authorities talked it over with county authorities and it was agreed unanimously to let the poker players go free if they would promise to testify against the robbers.
 Consequently the robbers were or dered held to answer to the superior court on the strength of evidence giv-

Defense Claims Act Not Pre-. meditated, but Testimony
 Reveals Threats
By Review Leased vvirel


 BALTIMORE. Md, S7arch IT, The opening day of the trial of pr. Noboiu Ishida, Japanese physician psiachiatrist, charged with killing Dr. Wolff. resident physician of the Shep- pard Pratt hospital, at which the Jap anese was also engaged in specializing on mental diseases, attracted a num- Der of prominent alienists and other medical men who were greatly inter ested in the case, the accused having entered a plea of not guilty on the ground of insanity
 The State presented its case today and attempted to prove that the act was brought on by disordered emo etions, principally jealously over a girl nurse of the institution. State At torney Hartman sought to prove that the shooting of Dr. Wolff was pre- meditated
 Statement Admitted
 4 statement which Deputy Sheriff Hiram Brown testified Dr. Ishida had given him was admitted in evidence for the State and was in part as fol lows:
 ''Dr. Wolff tried to make people in the hospital believe that 1 am a spy
 
 in getting a girl, a woman I liked, to believe that I am a spy, which was discovered. He is jealous of me about this girl, and after he exhausted his tricks to let her misunderstood me, at last assaulted her against her will. So I made this act for the honor of both nations and the girf'
 Dr. T. Matsumator, sent by the Jap -1s- Johns Hopkins hospital testified that Dr. Ishida was married and had a wife and two children in Japan On cross examination Dr. Matsumator said Dr. Ishida visited him four days before the shooting, that he con- plained of being persecuted by Dr. Wolff, but that Dr. Wolff would soon be discharged.
 Spy Charge Resented
 Dr. Edward Brush, superintendent of the Sheppard-Pratt hospital, in his testimony told of taking the revolver from Ishida after the shooting and of the accused saying he had shot Dr. Wolff because he had called him a spy. Dr. Brush further stated that Ishida had complained to him that l Wolff watched and stared at him Asked if Ishida had ever spoken of | Dr. Wolff assaulting a nurse Dr. ! Brush said that he positively had not i He said he would have sent the Jap anese away at once had he even made | such an accusation for he knew Dr. | Wolff to be a gentleman in every re- | spect
