GBAEAFCRARLESTON
Contest With Centre Col
lege Of Kentucky Will
Be Stiff One.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 4.-For local
followers. of football who have been
looking forward to the big college
game here next Saturday between
Centre College of Kentucky and the
University Of West Virginia there
we're two very big shocks contained In
Saturdays results. The first was
when the West Virginia team literally
showed Princeton under by score OIL
$50 and the next came when the Uni
gerslty Of Virginia, big local favor
ne, fell a victim to Centre colleges
Strong attack by the score of 1915. In
asnuch as Harvard only beat Virginia
$50, and as Princeton had beaten
hafayette and lost by only one touch
down to Colgate, the results of Sat
lrday's contests were almost total
surprises
For one thing it seems to assure a
game here on Saturday that will vie
with any ever played heretofore In
point Of closeness Of the score and To-
cal interest. West Virginia, naturally,
VIII be at a disadvantage from q
phychological standpoint because just
coming out of her Princeton conflict
such a decisive winner, 1t will be hard
for the Mountaineer coaches to pei
snade the players that Centre college
can beat them. On the other hand
Centre has been pointed all through
The present season for the West Viz
ginia game and will give her very best
efforts toward success here on Sat-
urday. The game will see two of the
greatest Individual stars in the game
opposing each other in Captain Rod
gers. the West Virginia fullback and
9Bon Mcmillan, captain and quarter
back Of the Centre college eleven.
Al crowd that will break all local at
tendance records is assured as there
Will not only be record turnout from
Charleston, Nitro, South Charleston
and other nearby points, but Centre is
bringing special trainload of sup
Sprters; West Virginia is bringing her
aS.s. and hundreds of others will come
ssom distant points.

term Of Circuit court. Usually there
are many more to file petitions than
turn up for examination. Out Of over
200 last time, only half dozen a7-
peared for examination. Fifteen nc
tees have been sent out for this term.
Those who file petitions now cannot
be naturalized this year as 1t requires
30 days posting before the oath may
be taken and not enough time remains
for that.
A long list Of prospective citizens
may be seen in the Circuit office dur
ing the year made up Of those who
are considering the matter though
frequently before time for oath arrives
foreigners move to other cities or find
they cannot induce their families to
come to America to live, which is
necessary under naturalization rules,
or perhaps they themselves feel the
strong hand of their motherland beck
oning invisibly-a hand sometimes
difficult to resist in spite of better
wages and more independent living in
this country. 1t is always intensely
interesting to see and talk to the men
who want to become United States
citizens. Very often they show an
intelligence and familiarity with our
country's ways and thoughts which is
encouraging to the government agent
who attends to the examining Of these
foreigners. Such men become help
full citizens. There are others who
cannot understand our ways and seem
to learn very little regarding the laws
of the country and the constitution.
Unless a man passes creditable ex-
animation he is not admitted to citi-
zenship. Neither is he admitted II
his family is not to be brought here
except under exceptional circum-
stances.

Doctor Inman declared his belief that

amendments and reservations.
The minority report also is nearing

WOULD CLOSE SMALL IAlLS
County Institutions Not Needed
Now, Says Mass. Commission

Boston. Sept. Shy A. P.--The
closing of the house of correction at
Deer Island because 'the interests of
the taxpayers and the welfare of the
inmates require it, was recommended
by the finance commission in report
made public last night. Three causes
contributing to the recommendation
were said by the commission to be ma
tional prohibition, the working of the
probation system and the unusual de-
mand for labor in all industries.
The average daily population of the
Deer Island institution was said to
have dwnded from 1852 in 1904 to
247 this year.
The commission quoted officials of
the state bureau of prisons as saying
that all county jails and houses of cor
rcction in the state could be closed
without HARM as the state prisons. re-
formatories and industrial camps could
take care of all the sentence cases.
