Smyth and expects to consult with
Mayor Moore before announcing his
plans.

Ihomas w. Cunningham, president OF
the Republican Alliance and Moore
leader. is chairman Of the finance COM

funds Cunningham II expected to take
firm stand against the old scheme of
assessing city employees. in accordance
with the provisions of the charter.
incidentally, Cunningham spiked a
revived rumor that he had deserted the
administration and joined the Wares
because of dissatisfaction over the dis
posal Of patronage.
Nothing in it," said Cunningham.
"1'm not topper. and never have
been. These submarine rumors are fire.
quently launched in politics, and this
one means nothing beyond a desire of
some one to promote his own interests.
I am jealous of no one and am standing

PENN FRESH LOSE
IN ANNUAL FIGHT

Sophs, but Neither Side
Scores Decisive Victory
MANY BUMPS AND BRUISES

University of Pennsylvania fresh
men came, saw and were conquered with
one major and more than fifty minor

Each side picks FIVE men. gives them
banners and then devotes all thoughts
and energies to getting their five men
through the lines Of the opposing class
and preventing the opposing banner
men sitting through theirs.
Question Of Honor
This apparently simple and child
like pastime develops into something
approaching a riot when staged between
sophomores and freshmen.
Harry Keaney, twenty one years old +,
a freshman. was seriously injured, his
neck having been twisted. He was un :
conscious for several hours in the Uni
versity Hospital. He Is much bet

Hope to Avert British Strike

London, Sept. 25.-The decision of
the miners of Great Britain on the
strike question is not yet final, and
there Is widespread hope for settle
ment of the dispute. inasmuch as the
miners have not persisted in their de
mand for a reduction in the home price
of coal.
The matter now is merely question
of an advance in wages Immediately or
submission of the controversy to an i'm
martial INQUIRY. Should settlement moi
be reached the situation will be grave,
as the miners will be supported by the
railway men and the transport workers
which will mean not only the cessation
Of coal production. but the stoppage OF
railway service and transport generally.
