CIVIC LEAGUE HEAD

T OPTION ELECTION Richard Sedgwick Thinks that Election Would Be Nullif tied If County Law Was Re- ; pealed. ', ' STOOD OPPOSED TO A SPECIAL ELECTION. Says There Is a Diversity of Opinion Among Attorneys As to What Would Be Final Results. "There la a diversity of opinion among attorneys a to whether Wayne county would remain dry for two years providing that the county was voted dry prior to the convening of the legislature and the county local option law was repealed after the legislature was convened," stated President Richard gedgwiek of the Wayne County Civle league this morning. Mr. Sedgwick stated his personal opinion was that in the event the connty was voted dry and afterwards the law was repealed, the result of the election would be nullified, unless the 'legislature provided that In. repealing the law, counties which had been vot,ed dry while it was on the statute books should not be affected. ' Mr. Sedgwick, do you think it a wise move to have the county go to the expense of approximately $4,000 I to hold a county local option election (When the possibilities are that within the nest sixty days the law will be repealed and, as you say, the result' of jthe election nullified In the event the connty was Toted dry?" was the query put to th president of the Civic leasue. "In the first place I was opposed to circulating a petition 'at the present time. I don't . know whether its the wisest more," he replied after a jkpause. "Don't you think 1 that if Wayne county would vote dry, it would- show the legislature that the people of this county favored the county local option flaw and it v.-v.v: k;vs a good effect on that body': i'on't you think that weald bo a aood reason for holdina- an 1 election at tie present timer asked Mr. Sedgwick. Mr. Sedgwick stated that he knew of several disgruntled - republicans who Intended to vote "wet" should a local option election be held, but on 'the other hand, he knew oJ many Marshall supporters who would vote -dry." "The Item, I understand, is to oppose voting the county dry on the ground that with Ladd as prosecutor, a democratic chief of police and with a Judge on the bench who has ruled favorably for the defendant in a blind tiger case, Wayne county would be overrun with blind tigers should the saloons be driven out I do not know 'what stand the Palladium will take on the question," said Mr. Sedgwick.

Eastern league held a joint session' yesterday at Buffalo and prepared an ultimatum to the National Association of Minor Leagues and to the two major leagues, which will probably cause all three organizations to sit up and take notice. Unless the demands of the two strong minor leagues are Kranted they will probably start a base ball war. Three important football games are scheduled for tomorrow: Chicago vs. Wisconsin, Yale vs. Harvard, and Michigan v?. Syracuse. In the betting Harvard, Chicago and Syracuse are the favorites. How would Richmond look in the Ohio State base ball league? Most fans remark "pretty nice" when this question is addressed them. It costs Uncle Sam several million dollars a year to make it possible for West Point and Annapolis to play football. President Pulliam says that he hopes to prevent spectators from crowding into the playing field next year. This is a point which will not worry the St. Louis, Brooklyn and Boston managements much. EARLHAM JUNIORS SELECT DEBATERS Several Strongest Men in College on Team. At the meeting of the Junior class at Earlham college yesterday afternoon, Lester Haworth, Levi T. Pennington, Timothy Nicholson, Payne Comstock, P. J. Denman, Elsworth Ellis were chosen to represent the class in the semi-finals of the college debating club.

Haworth and Comstcck are expected to make a good showing and Denman and Nicholson are fiaent speakers and should have no trouble In making a good showing. The question debated yesterday was "Resolved, That the United States senators should be elected by the direct vote of the people." GARY AFTER BRIAN'S MULE Showed Largest Increase m Democratic Vote.

As Marr entered the gate Lamphere came out of the door. Marr testified that he said: "Ray, get on your coat and go to town with me." Lamphere's reply was: "Did those three children v.nd that woman get out of the building?-' Marr asked: "What building?" Lamphere answered: "That building near town." So Lamphere Ran. Marr asked him where he was when he saw the fire, and Lamphere replied: "When I got along by the house the smoke was coming out of the windows and around the roof. So I ran." Marr said that he asked Lamphere if he saw anybody around the place, and he said "No." The witness testified that Lamphere said on another occasion that after he had been discharged by Mrs. Gunness she wanted him to return to work, but he was afraid. When asked what he was afraid of, he replied that it would not be fair to his lawyers for him to tell. Grewsome Relics Shown. Sheriff Smutzer when on the stand told of the finding of the ten bodies in Mrs. Gunness's graveyard, and also told of the sluicing by Gold Miner Schultz of the ashea from the ruins, many watches, pieces of jewelry, gold teeth and bridge work, bracelet, penknife, pocketbook clasps, etc., being found. All of these articles were Introduced and identified by the witness. He also testified that when the body of Mrs. Gunness wa uncovered the neck or spine bones extended about three inches beyond the point of the neck where the rest of the body was burned off, but that in moving the body the vertebrae fell away. The state by this evidence sought to show that It was out of the question to consider that the head had been cut off, and that if had simply burned off, the heat being more intense there than at any other point. On cross-examination it was brought out that Mrs. Gunness had visited the sheriffs office three times during the winter, with reference to the annoyance she said Lamphere was making her, and it was on these occasions that the witness said he observed the rings which were offered in evidence as having been found on the fingers of the adult body. Dug Until Hopeless. The sheriff said he investigated all rumors at the time of the fire regarding the disappearance of Mrs. Gunness. but found none that was founded on facts. He said he continued the digging on the farm until all hope of finding any more bodies was exhausted. Iceberg Gardens. "We passed manv leeberes comlns f home from Europe," said a tourist. "and on one of them a garden bloomed. "It was a beautiful sight. The great berg shone like an enormous emerald In the sun, and in one level recess, fenced in by pale green peaks, a yellow garden gleamed. The captain said that Iceberg gardens are not uncommon. Moss, it seems, is brought on to the bergs by animals feet. The moss grows. It decays, it forms a soil for the pollen of buttercups and dandelions that is blown through the air during the brief arctic summer. Soon the incredible spectacle presents itself of a great cold berg adrift in the salt sea with yellow flowers springing from the hard, cold ice. New York Press. Kodol Por Indigestion. , .

Pennsylvania and Michigan Elevens Clash on Nov. 14. "HURRY UP" YOST OPTIMISTIC Wolverenes' Resourceful Coach Say His Team Has Excellent Chance to Defeat Ptnmy This Year Great Struggle Anticipated. Giving no heed to the result of Pennsylvania's games. Michigan Las poinded away to develop a football machine that Coach "Hurry Up" Yost beiieves can tramp roughshod over the red and blue when the two elevens meet in Ann Arbor on Nov. 14. Michigan's chance for a victory over Pennsylvania this season is much more encouraging than It was at this time in 1907. The schedule has been bettur, and the Michigan team promises to be 50 per cent stronger than it was a year ago. While the back field will not be as strong as It was In the days of Heston, Hammond and Longman, yet it will be speedy and quite skillful. In spite of the fact that Pennsylvania has beaten Michigan for the last t wo years in succession, there are many who fear that the tables will be turned this year. The Quakers know that Michigan will make this game the crisis of its seasou. Pennsylvania expects Michigan to be stronger this year than last, but unless some great trans-, formation takes place this cannot be ' said of the red and blue. The team has had almost as many setbacks this year j as did the 1905 eleven, which lost three ! of Its best men within the first two , weeks of the season. Captain Adolph Schulz of Fort Wayne, Ind.. is now playing his fourth year oa the Michigan team. He is six feet two inches in height, strips at about 210 pounds and is quite active for a man of his size. He does a great deal of tackling in the open as well as guard his position against all attacks at that point In the fall of 1907 he was picked as an All American center by Walter Camp. William Wasmund of Detroit, Mich., who was the varsity quarterback during the season of 1907, has played bis old position in several games. David W. Allerdice played a good game on the varsity last fall. Allerdice weighs about 175 pounds, Is strong and has considerable speed. Prentiss P. Douglass, who came to Michigan from De Fanw university, is an excellent halfback or end rush. Fullback James K. Watkins, weight 175 pounds, height five feet eleven inches, is powerful for a man of his size, is quite active and a very hard worker. Sam Davison, one of the guards of Alpena, Mich., played tackle CAPTAIN APOLFB SCHULZ OF MICHIGAN. in the reinsylvanla game of 190G and gave a very good account of himself. For the other tackle position Michigan has such men as Benbrook, Davidson, ttiley and Brenton to draw from. Michigan has several good men fot the end positions. Embs, who played guard on the varsity last fall, is equally at home at the end position. Edmunds, who played fullback on the reserves last fall, may be shifted to an end position. Coach Metzger and Trainer Mike Murphy of Pennsylvania are of the opinion that the red and blue will re peat the victories of former years. Metzger has been coaching Reagan, right halfback, in drop kicking the past few weeks and Manler, Scarlett and Captain Hollenback in place kicking, all three showing up especially well. Marks has done good work at center in several games and is ably substi tuted by Cozens, both of them being! willing and fierce players. Tike at last j struck his gait at carrying the ball iul the Indian game. Dietrich at the other guard position has Lamberton just nosed out for the Job, with Irwin a close runner. At tackles Gaston and Draper have been given the choice over Ferrler. Cozens can also be used there in case of emergency, and either Burns or Hoffaker. At the ends Scarlett and Braddock have the call, though Crooks has shown Improvement in the open field work, and Favorite, who has just bce.i shifted there from the back field, may beat out one or the other. The probable makeup of the Pennsylvania eleven Is as follows: Braddock. left end; Draper, left tackle; Dietrich, left guard; Marks, center: Pike, right guard; Gaston, right tackle; Scarlett right end; Miilcr. quarterback: Manler. left halfback; Reagan, right halfback; Hollenback. fullback.

WINTER HORSE R ACING

Meetings In Abundance In the South and on the Coast LONG NEW ORLEANS SEASON. There Will Also Be Racing at Havana, Cuba, tnd In Tampa, Fla. Rich Stakes Will Be Decided In Oakland and Los Angeles. By THOMAS F.CLARK. With the horse racing season in the east over followers of the thoroughbreds are now devoting their attention to the winter circuits. Judging from the outlook, there will be plenty of good racing this winter both on the coast and in the south. There will be race meetings, too, at Havana, Cuba, and Tampa, Fla, which will appeal, no doubt, to turfmen throughout the country. Uicn stakes will be decided as usual at the California courses. The first of the winter tracks to open Its gates was the one owned by Thomas Williams In Oakland. The long meeting began on Nov. 3, and there will b no let-up until late next spring. On Nov. 14 the Santa Anita track will begin business and will continue until the middle of March. The Santa Anita course is one of the fastest in the world, and before the meeting ends some new records will be made. California wilt not get all the horsa men. for many of them are making preparations to race their horses in New Orleans, where a meeting of ninety days will be held at City park in spite of the fact that an anti-betting bill was passed by the Louisiana legislature last spring. The meeting in the Crescent City is to begin on Dec 5. Several months ago it was believed that racing at New Orleans bad been killed, but it seems that leading business men, hotel and store keepers, theatrical managers and others who say they would' have suffered heavy losses If the law should be enforced to snmed. But racing in the Crescent City will be conducted solely by residents of New Orleans, who have secured a lease of City park from Cells. Corrlgan and other western promoters who had the game cornered when the legislature took action. It is understood that few stakes will be offered and that the overnight purses will be reduced to $200 and $300 at the outset. As far as speculation goes, there will be no open bookmaking, but there will bo individual betting, perhaps on the credit system, which naturally will depend on the attitude of the local authorities. There will be fifty days of racing at the new track just outside of Havana, beginning on Dec. 1 and ending on Jan. 31. There will be six races each day. with purses ranging from $200 to $400. In addition to the regular purses the carnival commission of the Havana city council is expected to appropriate $10,000 to be given to the feature races thr the meeting. . track, wnicn was openea ror tne first time last winter, has been much improved since then, and it is said to le one of the best equipped race courses In North America. When the Ilavana meeting ends thre will b fortv dava of ractnar In Tampa. Fla., beginning Feb. 3. This meeting will be under the auspices of the Florida JHate Fair association, which has rebuilt the track and also Increased the stable room. E. D. Lawt is the racing secretary, t It was ths plan of several promoters ! some time ago to build a track at Jacksonville, but there seems to have been a hitch somewhere, for there is nothing doing In that line at present. I ntaMAllaalata Crsu Camitpv Run. Pennsylvania, Tale, Harvard, Princeton, Michigan, Cornell, Syracuse and Columbia will compete in this year's lntercollegiat cross country run on Nov. 21 at Princeton. Instead of having nine men to start for each college and counting the first six In as the team this year's contest will be held under the rule of seven to start and five to qualify. Under this arrangement, it is believed, the smaller colleges will be encouraged to send teams, with perhaps a better hope of making some sort of showing. On Umpire Enough, Says O'Day. nank O'Day, considered by many the best baseball umpire in the world, has come out with a point blank statement that he is opposed to the double umpire system. He gave as his reason that he has found more trouble working double than single, as in many cases be has not only bad to give his own decisions, but sometimes his mate's as welL as In the famous New York-Chicago game, which cost the New York Giants the National league pennant Dairymple to Lead Penn Swimmers. B. II. Dairymple, a senior in the University of Pennsylvania, has been chosen as captain of Pennsylvania's swimming team for the coming year. Dslryrople is a native of Australia and during the past two years has proved himself one of the speediest swimmers in the American college ranks. He Is also an expert high and fancy diver. Diamond Tents to Bo In Vogue. Most of the big baseball league dobs will purchase canvas coverings for the protection of their diamonds before next season. Fred Clarke, the Pittsburg manager, who hit on the scheme, says the big tent more than paid for itself. By its use be was sble to play at least three games that would otherwise have had to be doubled up. Whew! Two friends happened to meet oa a stormy winter morning.
