DOCTOR DIED OF APoPLEXY.
DR.. David A. Gleason of North Ben
nington Was Victim.

Bennington Dec. 5.-Dr. David A.
Gleason, who located at North Ben
nington 20 years ago, but who had
practiced extensively in southern Ben
nington county and the border towns
in New York, died suddenly Of apo
plexy at ii o'clock Thursday night.
He was preparing to retire when he
fell with such force as to break a
chair Physicians, who were summoned,
stated that death must have been in

FOOTBALL DoUBLEHEADERs.
Will Appear on Harvard Schedule for
Next Fall.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec 6.-The dou-
bleheader is to appear on college foot
ball schedules next season The Har-
ward football team in its first week
end of play will meet two college elev-
ems and may take on two more for its
second date. Fred w. Moore, gradu-
ate manager of athletics at Harvard,
said to-day that the games as proposed
would be of four periods of eight min
utes each.
The plan, Mr.. Moore said. was based
on the fact that the principal value
of early season games is to determine
the quality of individual players and
to obtain as much practice for the
team as possible. The smaller college
elevens usually have little practice for
early games, and long periods are a
hardship on their men, especially when
Harvard and other large colleges are
able, because of the large number Of
players, to send fresh men in to play
in late periods. The short periods are
intended to save the strength of the
small college men, and the two games
will give Harvard an opportunity to
try out all its players, Mr.. Moore
said.
Bowdoin college has been invited by
Harvard to play one of the games on
the opening date, and the University of
Maine will probably be invited to play
one Of the games on the second date

to finance my increases in the wages
of miners, Fuel Administrator Garfield
declared to-day, after reading press
dispatches that Governor Cox of Ohio
had proposed that miners and oper-
ators in that state compromise on
the basis of 25 per cent advance in
pay for the men. DIR. Garfield indi-
Gated that the government would in
terpose no objection if the increase
could be given without advancing coal
prices.
"There will be no increase in the
present price of coal as fixed under
the Lever act, DIR. Garfield said, mo
matter what local arrangements and
agreements are put into effect"
He added that his position was alb
solutely unchanged from that taken
orsNoy 26, with the authorization of
the cabinet. DIR. Garfield explained
then, in suggesting the ii per cent
advance which the miners promptly
rejected, that he was not fixing wage
scales and had no authority to do so.
He indicated that the increase sug-
gested was merely that which the OPP
orators were able to grant without ad-
vancing the price of coal, which the
government has fixed
