10000 THRILLED AS ARMY CADETS DRILL Big Crowd Watching Yale and West Point Battle
 Today

New Haven, Nov. 1.--Army gray and Yale blue were the prevailing street colors this noon as the cadets from West Point here for the game with Yale, made the most of their time when released from battalion formation and inspected the college buildings and strolled In the down. town streets.
 The West Pointers arrived by spe- cial trains via Danbury shortly be- fore II o'clock and, alIghting from the cars, formed in Union avenue. The battalion then marched to Hewitt's quadrangle where 1t was dismissed until ?. m. In order that the cadets might have lunch in Com mons and visit the buildings. More people than ever before greeted the cadets. The crowd here for the football game was almost equal in proportion to that which comes for the major game of Yale against either Harvard or Princeton except that there was less train trav- el. The automobile traffic was tre- mendous because distribution Of large part of the more than 7o,oOO tickets had been within the state and holders came here by machine. The Army game apparently has reached the importance Of "big" game so far as traffic handling and accommodation of visitors are con- cnrned. The Bowl was expected to hold well over 70,OoO this afternoon. The game started at 2:S0 o'clock. The lineup:

 Is Ridiculous"-Record Show
 That is Per Cent of Funds Have
 Been Given Directly by Reprcsen-
 tatiyes of Great Corporate In-
 tcrcsts, Lawyer Asserts.
 Washington, Nov. In an analy- sis of evidence placed before tho senate campaign fund investigators, Frank P. Walsh counsel for Senator La Toilette declared today 1t had been shown that at least 75 per cent of the republican contributions re- ported 10 date have come directly from the representatives of great corporate interests"
 "Upon the basis of the data now made public" he said, it can be stated as q fact that the banking firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. has un- derwrtttcn the republican campaign fund"
 Calls It Shocking
 The La Toilette attorney declared further that 'even more shocking is the circumstance that contributions are listed from numerous individuals directly interested as defendants in antitrust suits, prosecutions for fraud upon the government, and persons directly interested in tax refund cases, oil leases, flexible tariff adjustments, and other proceedings now pending either in the courts or in the executive departments at Washington"
 "Tho big bankers, the packers and the magnates who monopolize oil, steel, coal, aluminium, leather sugar, copper. textiles. the railroads, rail- road equipment and supplies and public utilities," he continued, "haye furnished the bulk of the republican campaign fund,
 Not One Missing
 Not one industry, which relies upon eXorhitant profits, is missing. Corporations and individuals inter. ested in tho Mellon plan of tax re- duetion are abunda.,tly represent cd"
 The statement said that although the name of J. r. Morgan himself did not appear on the list of con- tributors. Five members of the firm of J. r. Morgan either collect cd money or contributed to the fund or both, as follows; E. T. Stotesbury, George Whitney, William H. Porter. Dwight Morrow and Thomas Coch- ran, all listed as partners in J. ?. Morgan X O."
 "The federal statutes" Walsh con- tinued, "proyide that no corpora ton shall contribute funds for Use for political purposes, yet the great est banking house in this country provided not noly the brains but also much of the money for tinanc- Ing the republican campaign fund.
 ''It combed every great corporate interest with which it is identified and started the flood of gold which now Is pouring into the Headquarters at Chicago"
 Accuses Emerson
 Walsh declared that Guy Elmer son, vice president of the Bankers Trust company, "a Morgan bank" collected the greater part of the re- publican campaign fund in New York and that William V. Hodges treasurer of the republican national committee was first approached and induced to accept that important post by Richard V. Scandrctt, Jr, nephew of Dwight Morrow, of the firm of J. P. Morgan X Co.,"

Billy Clark. old time wrestler and
Snowman, drfted into Hurley Thurs
day afternoon for a brief visit among
his many friends Of by gone days.
During the recent summer Billy
handled ducatS at the front door of
the monkey speedway with the John
Workman shows, and covered a lot of
territory with-that excellent amuse-
ment aggregation. He is now on his
way TO Duluth. where he win spend
the cold season.
Billy IS over the G. mark, but he
carries his age ike a colt. Not
long ago he issued a challenge
through the Duluth Tribune to
wrestle any man of his age and
weight in the northwest, but no one
took him up. In other words the
old grappler had 'em all buffaloed.
Some thirty summers back Billy was
meeting all corners in the mat game
and met with very few defeats.
Veteran local fans wildly recall his
numerous matches in this city.
Billy has a son known as Billy,
Jr., who is also in the show business.
This year he is with the Great
Sheesley shows and is touring the
southern states. The young man is
a clever entertainer and is especially
noted for his ability as a singer.
