PHILTPPI, Nov. %. According
to an announcement made at the
office OF DR.. Elkanah HUXLEY, presl.

three members OF the Broaddus
football team are not eligible for
the crucial game with the Fairmon.

The names OF the players or the
reasons for their ineliglbility vera
not given.
1t is believed in PhiIIppi tha'
the young men are ineligible for

Phillppi High School.Mannlngton
episode OF last Saturday. THIS he.
lief is based Oh the fact that tho
announcement coming from the
presidents office carried with II
the announcement that they are ID
eligible for intercollegiate compet!.
ton for the semester.
The eligibility rules at Broaddus
are said to be very strict. 1t Is
known that two OF the best mca
on the squad were kept out OF the
Davis and Elkins game because
they failed to pass in one OF Their
courses over period Of two weeks.
Broaddus cancelled one game be
cause Of the failure OF the oppo.
inents to observe a migratory rule
that Broaddus neld.
Athletic authorities at Broaddua
contend that the rules are not too
strict. They say that Broaddus' Is

that they are making their rules

tic reduction of expenditures and an
increase in revenue have ben proposed
to the Finance Commission of the
French Chamber by it's rapporteur, M.
bokanowski, reports the Paris CORES
pendent of "The Morning Post" By
reduction he hopes to effect an economy
of 1,4Oo,O00,o00 francs and by increased
taxation an increase of revenue amount
ing to two milliards Of france He pro-
poses to save 525,000,0O0 on the Minis

Ing 175,0o0,000 Of Syria, 165 900 900 on

extent of 16O,ooo,OOo and state en-
ployees are to be dismissed to the
number of $4,000, thereby effecting a
saving Of 100000 900. By reducing the
interest on "Bons de la Defence' for
1873, he proposes an economy of 375.-
100000. By suspending the annual re-
payments to the Banoue de France he
expects to save 80,000,000. By these

brought in. He expects to raise the
same sam by making income tax
charges on agriculturists comparable
with those levied on other salaries. He
is of opinion, by a some stringent
method Of chaecking the payment of
taxes on bearer securities, the WELD
to the state can be increased by 45O
millions. He also considers that the
succession duties could be made more
stringent, and could yield another 500
millions. A further reform that he
suggests is to release from state con-
troll the manufacture of tobacco and
cigarettes, considering that by this
means the state will benefit to the ex
tent Of $50 millions.
M. Bokanowski has no illusions as
to the ideal character of the methods
he is inviting the House to adopt, but
he considers that the question is so
vital in the interests of France that
every sacrifice should be made in
order that French finances should be
placed on sound basis.

more fights and disturbances during
the last twenty years than in any
other street in the world, not even
excepting the famous Falls Road Of
Belfast, the cockpit Of Ulster.
For the last FIVE years Sackville
Street has been a hotbed Of plotting

British Began to Guard
Notables 40 Years Ago
Custom Started With Queen
Victoria Because of
Fenian Oufraees

LONDON, July (By Mai).--special
police protection for distinguished per-
sons dates only from the early SOS,
writes G. I. Crook in "The Daily
Mail" when, in consequence of the
Fenian outrages, 1t was deemed ad-
visable that Queen Victoria should
have a police bodyguard in attendance
upon her wherever she went.
Inspector Savage, Of the Criminal
Investigation Department, who retired
from the Metropolitan Police some
years ago, was the first officer to hold
the position of Queens detective. The
experiment was so successful that it
was decided to extend the system, and
for this purpose the Special, or Politi-
cal, Branch at New Scotland Yard was
formed.
Since then not only have members
of the royal family been guarded by
police, but also members Of the Cabi-
net and other public men, whose lives
were considered to be in danger from
the attacks Of fanatics and others,
have been under the personal care of
Special Branch detectives.
Curiously enough, however, with
the exception OF Mr. Savage, the detec-
tives attached to the households of
fcers of the uniform branch. King
Georges detective was uniform of
iicer, SO was King Edwards, and SO
was Queen Alexandra's.
But these officers do not go out of
the country. When the sovereign
goes abroad a Special Branch detective.
usually the superintendent, accom-
panies him.
All other members of the royal fam
guarded by Special Branch officers, who
are also responsible for the safety of
foreign royalties who come to Great
Britain.

Mr.. Kelley and their associates gave
the orders.
At 1925 Secretary Tom Powers, of
Broome, began calling the roll of dele
gates. Exactly twenl, eight minutes
later the meeting adjourned, its bust
ness transacted.
Mr.. Murphy, it is said, will try to
to have voice in the maxim gof the
platform.
That there may be an understanding
of some such sort arrived at between
Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Murphy was the
common gossip among the leaders at
yesterdays meeting, who pointed to
one statement made by Mayor Hylan
just before they met. This was that
Mr. Hearst, according to the Mayor,
had declared that he "is anxious and
willing to support any man who, after
election, will stand by the principles
recently erunciated by the women who
met and laid down certain fundament-
ais few days ago."
While the meeting adjourned with
out any row, one was averted when
acceeded to the demands of George W.
Cooper, State Committeeman from
Schenectady County. Mr.. Cooper is
opposed to Lunn for Governor, and is
q hot Smith man. The Mayor caused
P. f. MCGOWAN, State Committeeman
from the I'd Assembly District. to
move into The LIST in an attempt to
GUST Mr.. Cooper. Yesterday Mayor
Lunn had prepared a resolution pro-
viding for the resignation Of Mr.. Nc
Gowan as State Committeeman and
the naming of James F. Moffett-a
Lunn MANN his stead.
"If that is done" said Mr.. Cooper to
Mayor Lunn, 81 shall rise in the meet
ing and say few things which won't
be pleasant to hear"
Mayor Lunn id not offer the resolu-
ton.
Should the situation in Schenectady
progress as some Of the anti-Lunn fac
ton are hoping it will, the Mayor and
his followers may be defeated for cleo
ton as delegates to the state conven-
ton, thus ending all possibility of
Mayor Lunn being considered for anv
place on the state ticket.
After yesterdays meeting there was
conference of the more important
leaders, presided over by Mr.. Murphy,
at which the entire state situation was
discussed. One who took a leading
part in the discussion said that the
situation with respect to candidates
had been so muddled by the Hearst
drive that no one could say at this
time, or for that matter, for a couple
of weeks to come, what the possible
makeup of the slate would be.
