WHITE GOOD MAM

FOR ALLOnly Earlham Player Who Has Made a Good Record This Season. SEASON NOT A SUCCESS. QUAKERS SUFFERED FIVE DEFEATS AND WON BUT TWICESEVERAL MEN INJURED EARLY IN SEASON. By Tort. Earlham closed its football season Saturday with a record of two victories and five defeats, one of the most lamentable records a Quaker team has made In several years. Earlham's opponents scored a total of 116 points while the Quakers were scoring 33 points. This shows that the Quaker offense was as weak as its defense. The following Is the list of games, In the order played, and their results: 'Earlham, 6; Antloch, 0. Earlham, 0; Purdue, 40. Earlham, 17; Franklin, 0. Earlham, 6; Wittenberg, 9. Earlham, 0; Butler, 31. ' Earlham, 4; Rose Poly, 26. Earlham, 0; DePauw, 10. At the start of the season, Earlham had Borne good material for Vail to use In building up a crack football machine, but hard luck butted Into the game and several of the stars were forced to quit the game and retire to the arnica ward for the remainder of the season. Gaston was dropped for failure to keep up in his studies. Captain Harrell was crippled over half the season. Hancock and Larrence ware out all season and Bruner's record was about the same. Th weakest place in the entire Quaker term waa at quarterback. Hill handled the ball nicely, C. Jones did likewise and also handled punts well, but neither of them was a field general and poor Judgment in running the team was costly, as Instanced by the DePauw game last Saturday. Vail developed one star that deserves a place on the All-Indiana eleven. White is the name of this player. He is a hard tackier, plays an aggressive game in the back field, Is a good sprinter, has plenty of nerve and sis punter has no superiors in the st and not more than one or two equals. But for White's reliable toe, the total number of points rolled up against Earlham this tall would have greatly exceeded 116. White is also a fairly clever drop kicker. His one weakness is handling punts. Last spring White had the distinction of being the best college pitcher In the state. . EXPECTS A BATTLE Olson Writes That a Triumph Ovep Turk Will Be Hard Earned. HARD COURSE OF TRAINING. Charley Olson says he expects to have a hard match with the Turk tomorrow night and that he was lucky to win the first one he had with him. The Palladium today received the following communication from Olson, who is at Indianapolis. "I expect a hard match with the Turk Wednesday and I am getting in the best possible shape. I did eighteen miles on the route yesterday. I have been told by a Chicago friend that the Turk has been in Chicago training with one of the best men in the business to gain speed and if he has Improved any I will have one hard match but I will be ready. "The Turk beat me a fall the last match and I was glad when the match was over for I was all in, and was lucky to get away with it." Manogoff is now in the city and is in excellent condition for the match. He has been doing several miles of road work tot the past week. BRUSH DIES AT MICHIGAN HOME Was Former Resident of Richmond. ,The funeral of Joseph Brush, formerly of this city, was held at Tecumseh, Mich., today.

All their friends are invited to witness the proceedings. Football togs have been wrapped in moth balls and laid along side the base ball spangles, wrestling, amateur polo and Indoor games of various sorts in the Y. M. C. A. gym (when it is completed), will occupy the limelight. It is reported that Captain Harrell of the Earlham team cried Saturday when the game was over. The proper time for him to have burst into tears was i Quarerback Jones called a forwa. .tis on Deauw's twenty yard line. With the close of each base ball seaBon the talk of big deals spring up. It has already done so this year. Now the gossip is running in just the opposite channel. According to the latest rumors several of the big league teams are to stand pat.

Accidental Shooting Follows in Wake of Open Hunting Season

A stray rifle bullet brought injury to George Lloyd, 521 South Sixth street, while hunting Sunday afternoon near the Test farm, south of the city. The person who fired the shot is unknown. Lloyd was struck in the calf of the leg. He attempted to walk home, but fell from weakness. He waa found by a party of friends and removed to his home. A physician j was summoned and it is not believed the injury will prove serious, unless complications ensue. Lloyd Is an employe of the Robinson factory. Piqna, O., Nov. 17. By the explosion of his gun, Carl Freeman lost his left hand while hunting rabbits. His weapon exploded, tearing and shattering his hand so badly that the doctors j found It necessary to amputate the member at the wrist. ' ' Same Old Story. Brazil. Ind., Nov. 17. Charles Campbell, aged IS, of Centerpoint, was shot in the head and back by Ross Giltz, while shooting at a flock of quail. Campbell's condition is serious.

Sporting World this is especially true of the four leading teams in the American LeagueDetroit, Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis. The managers and owners appear to be pretty well satisfied with their respective personnels as they now stand. j When the National League holds its ; annual meeting next month it will not be at all surprising if Barney Dreyfuss is in absolute control of the situation. Since the death of Frank De Haas Robison, owner of the St. Louis club, negotiations have been under way for the sale of that club to a syndicate supposed to be headed by( Dreyfuss. It is said that the Cellas, once Interested in St. Louis race tracks, are ready to buy the St. Louis club for $200,000 cash, but that the other National League clubs, together with the entire American league, are opposed to such a deal. If Dreyfuss' syndicate gets hold of the Robis&n outfit Barney will be a big factor in the old league's councils, as he owns the Pittsburg club, has stock in the Boston and Philadelphia - clubs and is closely allied with Brooklyn and Chicago. SMALLPOX CREEPS SCUTH Sylvia Turner of Ft. Wayne Avenue Latest Victim. The first case of small pox south of the railroad, was reported to the city health officer, Dr. Charles Bond, last evening. The victim is Sylvia, daughter of Tom Turner, 38 Ft. Wayne avenue. The usual precautions were taken and it is hoped that there will be no further spread of the disease. CERTIFICATE FILED. The certificate of the vote cast for the presidential electors in Wayne county was certified to by the countyclerk today. The certificate was placed in the hands of a special messenger, who took it to Indianapolis, where it will be placed on file. A Hunter's Victim. Bellefontaine, O., Nov. 17. The first hunting accident claimed Fred Bishop as victim. An unseen hunter, not yet known, fired a load of shot into Bishop's back at long range. Seventeen shot went too deep to be extracted, but Bishop will get well. Shot by a Hunter. Upper Sandusky, O., Nov. 17. Robert Herick, of near Wharton, shot at a rabbit this morning. Elliott Earp stepped in range and received the entire charge of No. 7 shot. The doctors hope to pull him through. May Lose His Arm. Sandusky, O.. Nov. 17. Clarence Schwerer, aged 20, a brakeman on the Lake Erie & Western had his right arm badly lacerated while hunting near Kimball. His gun went off while he was climbing a fence. Kills His Brother.

RUEF DESIRES A CHANGEJF VENUE Declared Hearing in San Francisco Cannot Now Be Impartial.

OPERATION IS PERFORMED. HENEY, THE PROSECUTOR, WHO WAS SHOT DOWN BY MORRIS HAAS, IS RECOVERING, BULLET HAVING BEEN REMOVED. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 17. Spec ial Prosecutor Francis J. Heney, who was shot down by Morris Haas on Friday durin the trial of Abrham Ruef on one of the numerous counts charging him with bribery, underwent an operation for the removal of the bullet, which had lodged in the left lower maxillary. The operation was in every way successful, and it is stated that Mr. Heney's condition is satisfactory. No Signs of Complications. Mr. Heney stood theoperation well, rallyin from the eects of the anaesthetic quickly and without sign of weakness or shock. The most careful watching has failed to disclose any sign of complication, and there is every reason to believe Mr. Heney's recovery will be both rapid and complete. Mrs. Heney, who has been most devoted to her husband since he was struck down, remained at the hospital during the operation, several friends and relatives keeping watch with her. She expressed great relief when the successful outcome of the work of the doctors was made known to her, and resumed her place at her husband's side. The inquest over the remains of Morris Haas, Mr. Heney's assailant, who committed suicide a the county jail Saturday night, was held today. The mystery surrounding the manner in which Haas secured or concealed the derringer with which he ended his life has created friction In the police department. Ruef Wants Change of Venue. The trial of Ruef on the charge of bribery, was resumed, but affidavits Were presented setting forth that it would be impossible to secure an impartial trial in the present state of public opinion. The plea for a change of venue resulted in a continuance until today, when the prosecution submitted counter affidavits: Never before in the history of this city had such police precautions been taken to safeguard a court as when Ruef wa3 brought to the bar Monday. Ten policemen on foot and six mounted men were on guard in front of the court room, and the streets for a block on either side of the building were patrolled. Every person entering the building was scrutinized and many were stopped half a dozen times before reaching the entrance. In the corridors were stationed six policemen and inside the courtroom half a dozen detectives were placed. DASHES FOB LIBERTY Elmer Griffin Removes Overcoat ad Escapes Officer of Law. LAD IS NOT RECAPTURED. Deftly removing his overcoat while his captor held his hand in its pocket, Elmer Griffin, broke for and secured his liberty at Main and Fifth streets this afternoon. His captor was Agent McKenzie of the Indiana Reform School for boys. Griffin, who was out of the reform school on parole had been turned over to McKinzie at police headquarters only a few minutes before. The boy has not been retaken and is expected to leave the city. Griffin was under arrest as an ac complice in the robbery of the O'Brien buggy Saturday night. The Home authorities were notified and sent McKenzie to return the boy to the insti-! tution. The lad had bade his father goodbye and was standing at the corner with McKenzie awaiting an inter-, urban car. Not anticipating any sur- i prise McKenzie simply had hi3 hand thruet in the pocket of the boy's over coat. The lad extricated himself from his coat and in an instant was fleeing North on Fifth street. McKenzie, who is aged, was no match for the fugitive. He called for help btu none came and Griffin is at liberty. The boy's father claimed his overcoat from McKenzie and the Home attache returned to Plainfield this afternoon minus boy and coat. The Griffin lad has been mixed up in a number of petty affairs. His penchant is stealing and the police class him as an expert. This morning he lay on the floor of his cell and sobbed rlfnrTtn Ti. k n lice claim he is too old to be under the jurisdiction of the Home and that to keep him away from Jeffersonville his age has been lied about.

LETTERS REVEAL GUNNESS SYSTEM (Continued From Page One.)

cions of Mr. Helgeleln. and so he wrote again to Mrs. Ounness, receiving the following reply: "Laporte, Ind., April 11. 190$. Mr. A. K. Helgelein: Your letter I have received some days ago. but have not been able to answer In regard to your brother, Andrew. I have tried every which way to find some trace of him. The man who told me he ia in South Dakota is named Lamphere. who worked for me for a while. He said he had heard it from some one he knew in Mansfield, and he also had probably told them about the $10,000. I knew right away that it was a lie. But this Lamphere began to find so many wrong things to talk about until at last they arrested him, and they had three doctors examine him and see if he was sane. They found him not crazy enough to put in a hospital. But perfectly sane he Is not. Says Lamphere Stole Letter. "He is now out under bonds and is going to have a trial next week, there fore, there Is no foundation to the . stories told, but one thing I am sure j of is that he in one way or another has taken ihe letter from Andrew he had sent to me. "Others have told me that Lamphere was jealous of Andrew and for that reason troubled me this way, bnt to me he did not say anything and I did not mention it to him when Andrew left. This Lamphere drank so much and I got the Impression that be was not quite right, and others say the same. "Andrew had sent to him a lot of money when he was here. Some of this I got for a mortgage which he had made over to him and a lot of cash money, but I do not think it was so much but he had a lot of checks, but as far as I know I think they were all payable to himself, and he had other valuable papers. I knew he had the mortgage he got from me and a lot of others, but I did not pay much particular notice to them and therefore did! not know what they contained. "He did not say anything to me In regard to the farm of creatures, but I think it would be best for you to sell the farm and creatures as soon as you can and come here in May. When An- j drew comes up there again, which he no doubt will some time, be fsure and do not tell him that I told you this or do not tell it to others either. "Bella Gunness'.' Text of Third Letter. Following a third inquiry come this letter from the archmurderess: Laporte, Ind.. April 24. 1908. Mr. A. K. Helgeleln: Your welcome letter I have received, for which I thank you. It is a wonder to me as well as for you as to where Andrew keeps himself. It is strange he should go away with his belongings. However, I will tell you all that I know, and you can be sure that I am telling you the truth. I cannot remember the accurate date he left Laporte, but it1 was either the 13th or 16th of Jan-i uary. My little daughter, 14 years old. took him to the street cars then. He went by way of Michigan City, as he had a desire to see that little town. He did not stay here more than a day. "Two or three days afterward I had a letter from him in Chicago, saying he had hunted for his brother but did not find him and that the next day he would look around the board of trade and see how it wag, also to get track of his brother. If he could not find him he would go to New York and find out if he had gone to Norway. If such was the case I think he would go to Norway, too. "That Lamphere was here and he probably took the letter, but that part of a letter which I spoke of we found in the barn door in the evening when he was around. I will send it to you. 1 1 recognize Andrew's writing and I 1 think you do, too, and I believe that the letter was addressed to me, as l i rin nnf think AnnrAW wrm Iri writ in any other woman. "I assure you I will do all I can If you will take a trip down here to see what we could do to find him. but I don't understand what keeps him away so long. "Bella Gunness." The following is a copy of the piece of letter referred to in the letter: "My Best Friend: I am well and the spring Is here, as the snow is go ing fast My creatures, most of them, , slept outside yesterday and tonight i without cover. The cows who have ) calves, I have them Inside, also those ! who expect to 'calve' soon. I am hapj py every time I write you. I think I ' can come to you in the month of May."
