Aided by Referee, DePauw Piled Up 12 Points in First Quarter Later Earlham Made Great Rally. CHAMPIONSHIP WAS STAKE PLAYED FOR Great Crowd Witnessed the Game and the Enthusiasm Displayed by the Students Was Inspiring. BY W. RUSSELL WRIGHT. Saturday la the last game of the sea. on the Earlham football team went down In defeat at the handa of DePauw, by score of 18 to 12. It was known that this game would be the game of the season and the largest crowd of, recent years gathered to see the game. By winning DePauw takes the secondary state championship. The game started with a klckoff by DePauw. Earlham got the ball and carried It 15 yards and lost It Then the Methodists pushed the ball to the 20-yard line and Tucker, the DePauw half back, carried the ball over the Earlham line. Mul kicked goal. Again DePauw kicked off. The Quarkers carried the ball far into the Methodist territory. The ball was lost on a forward pass. The Methodists fouled, causing a fumble on the part of Earlham and Tucker got the ball and ran 65 yards f6r a touchdown. Referee Carr of the Ohio Stat university looking through his leather glasses failed to see the foul and allowed the score. Mul kicked goal and the first quarter ended 12 to 0 In DePauw's favor. The Second Quarter. The second quarter was characterised by strong work of the Earlham line. Time after time Stanley, Hughbanks and Nelson broke through the DePauw line to block a punt or to taekle a runner. During the second quarter the ball was in the Methodist territory most of the time but time was called without either team having cored. The third quarter opened with a decided brace-up on the part of the Quakers. Reagan punted the ball far Into the DePauw field and recovreed it when the DePauw back fumbled on his 10-yard line. By some sensational line bucks the ball was carried across the Methodist line. Bruner kicked goal. 1 DePauw kicked off and . Brunner caught the ball and carried it 15 yards. On a fumbled punt by a DePauw back Francis recovered the ball and ran 60 yards for a touchdown. Bruner kicked goal. With the score a tie each team put forth all its energy. By a fluke the DePauw team scored an'other touchdown and kicked goal and the third quarter ended with the score 18 to 12. No one scored in the last quarter. The ball was carried back and forth by punts and forward passes. Once the ball was carried to the Earlham 5-yard line but by scrappy playing the Quakers forced the ball out of danger and Bear the Methodist goal. Time waa called and the game ended 18 to 12 la DePauw'a favor. Bruner's Last Game. This game was the last one for Captain Bruner as It Is his last year In school. During the entire game he waa the star of the Earlham team. Reagan. Hughbanks and Francis also showed up well throughout the game. Each team showed much nervousness at 'times. Seeing old stars and alumni on the side line worried the local players and they showed the effects of It. The work of Referee Carr was decidedly "raw." both teams suffering specially Earlham. One DePauw player deliberately stole a ball from a Quaker back, then ran for a touchdown. Carr Ignored this openly-made violation:

EVANGELIST MM DOIIIGJIIIE WORK At the End of the Second . .Week Much Good Work Is Accomplished. Program for the Week. 7:30 p. m. daily, except Saturday, services at East Main Street Friends' church. 3:30 p. m. dally, Bible study at Reid Memorial Sunday school room. Sunday, at 3:30 p. m., meeting for men and boys at the Gennett theater. Evangelist Mahy to speak on "Keep Thyself Pure." Sunday morning, 9 to 10,' special decision services in the - Sunday schools of all churches participating in the union effort. Sunday evening, at 7:30, supplemental service at the Fifth Street M. E. church. At the end of the second week of the union evangelistic meetings at the East Main Street Friends' church It is felt that much good has been accomplished and that the coming week will see a great deal more. Much of the benefit that has resulted from the meetings has come from the plan of personal work and does not show In the newspaper reports or in such a way as to greatly impress the public. Many of the personal workers' conferences have been attended by a large number who have taken a deep Interest. Mr. Mahy is somewhat of a pioneer in the field of what might be termed rational evangelism as contrasted with the old time methods of undue excitement and sensationalism, and he expresses himself as very well pleased with the work here. It will take some time for the public to get acquainted with the new type of evangelist and to be attracted to the work. Last evening an open-air meeting was held on Main street and attracted many people. Evangelist Mahy spoke and much work of a personal nature was done. Great audiences are expected at both of the Important services of today. BOAST CLARK MADE Now Being Reminded to the Missouri Solon. -(American News Service) " Washington, Nov. 19. Now that the Democratas . ha ve . captured . the . house the market price of mules, especially Missouri mules, may - rise. - The cause of. this is the declaration made ' by minority leader Champ Clark several months back, when he publicly stated that It the Democrats won, he would drive' down Pennsylvania ' avenue. In Washington, ' behind : a pair of Missouri mules to the capitol. ... It Is said today that minority leader Clark has received more than. forty offers from admiring constluents who desire to furnish the team, of mules that may become famous by their appearance on ' Pennsylvania avenue hauling the distinguished statesman from the "Show Me" state, who is slated to succeed Uncle Joe Cannon as speaker of the house. It is jokingly said that moving picture men are bidding for the privilege of picturing the event. . , NEPHEW SHOT AUNT SITTING IN A BUGGY (Americas News Trenton, Ky., Nov, 19. Service) .

POSTMASTERS MUST CUT TESTIMONIALS Can No Longer Lend Their Names for Boosting Advertising Schemes. BY 8IDNEY ESPEY. Washington, Nov. 19. The practice of postmasters obligingly complying with requests from patrons and others for letters of indorsements, testimonies and guarantees as to honesty and reliability, etc., has become so prevalent that It has finally attracted the attention of the postofflce department with the result that the department has advised postmasters ttiat they must not sign such papers or statements in their official capacities. . Inquiry of post office department officials brought to light the , fact that a testimonial or indorsement of a patent medicine, a stomach "bitters," or some such tonic by postmasters is the best kind of a "drawing card," and is worth money in the way of promoting the sale of such indorsed articles. Not only manufacturers of patent medicine seek these indorsements, but the fellows with the get-rich-quick out of valuable lands and oil well shares and other tempting speculation schemes make a practice of playing for . the local postmaster's indorsement and testimonial. According to a' statement made by an employe of the postofflce many complaints have been received from victims of schemers who promised all kinds of wealth that would follow the possession of a few shares in the "never-dry-up oil well," or the possession of a few acres of rich, yielding land. The victims in their letters said they were Induced to buy the stock, or shares -by the eulogistic testimonial given by postmasters. While the suggestion made by the postofflce department to the postmasters that it may be difficult to refuse indorsements and testimonials is not an official order, yet the effect, it is believed, will be the same. Unless such indorsement of the "only stomach bitters, guaranteed to cure" carries with it- the official capacity of the indorser it will prove of little value, and not worth a dozen bottles of the "Bitters." NAVAL MEN FEAR A SENATE CHANGE Hope Chairman Perkins of Navy- Committee ' Will Not Retire from Job. , (American News Service) ". 'Washington,. Nov.- 19. The advocates of a bUf navy are worried somewhat because of the coming shake-up of the senate committee on -naval affairs, They say that If Senator Perkins, the present . chairman, - should insist on the ' chairmanship of appropriations, which he would be entitled to in view of the fact t that Senator Hale," the present chairman, retires from. the. senate next March, it would deprive the naval committee of a valuable man. The California senator Is a friend of the navy and as chairman of that committee he exercises a large influence in the senate. But as the appropriation .committee is one of commanding power, it is not improbable that Senator Perkins will be willing to exchange chairmanships. Senator Hale was always conservative when It came to building battleships, and now that he will soon retire from the senate the friends of the navy look forward to less opposition to additions to increasing our war fleets. Of course. Senator Perkins . can be counted- on to help the cause, but with a new make up of the , naval committee it will not be easy sailing for the naval program in the upper house of congress. . .

WHO WILL BE THE LEADERJ SENATE This -Is a Question Which Is Now Confronting, the Democratic Minority. (American News Service) Washington, Nov. 19. The question is now asked who will be selected for floor leader by the Democrats in the senate after March 4. While very little has been said about it for publication there is nevertheless much interest manifested by Democrats generally. When Senator Culberson of Texas resigned the responsibility of floor leader early last session, because of ill health, Senator Bailey was looked up to take the place, but he politely declined and suggested that the honor go to Senator Money of Mississippi. This was unanimously agreed to. The Mississippi senator retires March 3, 1911, being succeeded by John Sharp Williams, who for several congresses was minority leader in the house. It is not thought that he will aspire to the leadership of the minority In the senate, but his legislative experience will give him a position in the senate seldom accorded a new member of that body. Judging from the discussion that has thus far been indulged in it will surprise no one should Senator Culberson, if his health permits, be persuaded to again assume the minority leadership. It may be of interest to know that the name of Senator Bacon of Georgia, has also been frequently mentioned In connection with this distinction. The Georgia senator now has the record of dean of the senate on the Democratic side succeeding to that position made vacant by the death of Senator Daniel of Virginia. BETTER THAN CURFEW Sweeper Drives Pedestrians Off Main Street. The dustless city, the sanitary Quaker city of the west, and other similar phrases, applicable at the, time were disregarded by the judges in the selection of a slogan for Richmond, in favor . of the phrase, "Panic Proof City." There were those (who, until with the last week, when' they have bad occasion to go down town about 10 o'clock- at night, believed the Judges erred in their selection. - Entirely inappropriate would have been any of these proposed slogans which referred ' to the " city's cleanliness, for now on Main street, the principal business place In Richmond, great clouds (perhaps fogs -would be better) of dust are raised following the ' passage of the street sweeper. Pedestrians are driven indoors. The police patroling Main street ' find it convenient . to , be around the corner. Anyone who can stand the suffocating and odoriferous clouds Is termed a marvel ' by those who have been fa the class who have gladly forsaken the streetSince the cold weather the contractor in charge of cleaning up the city's paved streets, has not been sprinkling them. The dust is quickly brushed into the air and completely obliterates the view of those who can possibly remain on the street. Much complaint has been made about the dust to the city officials. Merchants are "kicking clear over the traces", and it Is more than likely the matter win be given much ' debate at the next council meeting. THE WEATHER INDIANA AND LOCAL-Partly cloudy -, .

Detectives Try to Prevent a Palladium Photographer from Taking Pictures of Wreck Last Week.

CALLS UPON POLICE TO SUPPORT RIGHTS Park , Policeman Hollern Backs Up Camera Man and TSIeuths , "Wilt" 3 William Walling Is Quite J-ow. If the Palladium staff photographer who took the accompanying picture of the Pennsylvania railroad wreck.; oc curring just east of this city early Thursday morning, had attempted . to snap the visage of his Royal Nibbs, the King of Siam, it is hardly probaDie ne wouia nave encountered a tougher proposition than the one to which he was assigned. Since the time articles of incorporation were filed.for the firsjt railroad company in America, Becrecy-among the officials and all employes has been the pass word. And one of the first qualifica tions for a good railroader It seems. is to assume the attitude of a deaf and dumb mute when any such dangerous looking thing as a newspaper man is seen "hanging around." This absurd policy was in vogue on last Thursday. Hardly had the Palladium photographer finished adjusting the lens of bis camera and setting the tripod in its proper position for one of the best views of the disaster, when he was approached with stealthy step by two railroad detectives whose keen insight led them to believe "that he was about to take a photograph. Accordingly ( they inquired of the ntruder his business and found that their theory had been correct. - v -'.'-.! , -;V Audacious Boldness. , He admitted with' audacious boldness, that It was his Intention to take a snap shot, adding that he intended to produce it in the Palladium. Acting on the presumption that it was always well to "get in" with the railroad company, and remembering their oath against newspaper men, they told the photographer that - he would have to do a disappearing specialty mighty quick or suffer the consequence of being arrested. But the staff man was onto his job and refused to be "buffaloed" without leaving traces of a battle. In fact he had been told before, on the sly, that perhaps his presence . there would not arouse a very marked degree of enthusiasm among ' the railroaders. After considerable parleying it soon became apparept to the staff photo-' grapher that if he was going to take any views of the wreck he must have police protection. He immediately telephoned to police headquarters and asked Sergeant McNally to send a po.liceman to the scene of , the wreck. McNally told him to appeal to Park Superintendent Ed Hollern, who had special police power and that if any more protection were needed it would be "on the way" for the asking.' The staff man was told by Hollern to go ahead and take as many pictures of the wreck as he-pleased, adding that he would stand alongside and see to it that the rude detectives did not interrupt the proceedings. Sherlocks Begin to Wilt.; The Sherlocks realizing that their threats were falling on deaf ears very kindly and considerately agreed to stand with their backs to the camera while the pictures were being snapped. By doing this, they stated, it would not appear as though they had shirked their duty and consequently could not be blamed for pictures that were taken without their knowledge. Superintendent Hollern asked as a special request that the ."sleuths" stand facing the kodak, but somehow or other they were not more than sixty per cent enrapport over the suggestion and besides they really must be going. The condition of William Walling was reported last night by the authorities at Reid Memorial hospital as being worse. It was considered very doubtful If he would survive the night J. D. Smith, the fireman, the other wreck victim, is getting along nicely, it is said, and was resting easily last evening. . LOYALTY IS SHOWN TO MOTHER COUNTRY (American News Service) - Capetown.'

Young Frenchman Is to Be Arraigned at Louisville, Ky., for the Brutal Killing of a School Girl. WENDLING CAPTURED AFTER LONG CHASE

There Is Strongest Circumstantial Evidence Against the Accused Story? of the Fiendish Crime. Dec. 8, 1909 Alma Kellner disappeared from her home. Jan. 14. 1910 Joseph Wcndling quit his place ras janitor of SL John's church. May 30 A plumber, dlgsing beneath the school, of St. Join's church, found the horribly mutilated remains of the Kellner child. Wendling suspected, and his wife arrested. June 5 Coroner's jury returned a verdict of willful murder against Wendling. June 30 Grand jury indicted Wendling for murder In the first degree. June 24 Wendling eluded his pur-( suers at San Antonio, Tex. : ; July 30 Wendling captured in San Francisco and returned to Louisville. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 19. Not in many years has a criminal trial in Louisville excited the intense interest exhibited in the case of Joseph Wendling, the young Frenchman, who Is to be brought into court Monday to stand trial for the alleged murder ."of little Alma Kellner, whoso mysterious disappearance last winter and the subsequent finding of her mutilated remains after a search of nvwitb at? ;traeted the attention- of the whole country. The police and the prosecuting attorney's office declare, they have evidence sufficient to convict Wendling of the horrible crime , of which he is charged. The accused man, on the other hand, continues to maintain his innocence and at no time since he has been' lodged in the Louisville jail has he manifested any uneasiness over the outcome of his trial. On the contrary, according to the jail attaches, the young man has rather appeared to enjoy the notoriety. ' Evidence Against Him. That strong circumstantial evidence exists to connect Wendling with the murder is not to be denied. His position as janitor of the school where the remains of the little girl were found and his flight from the "city soon, after her disappearance are considered the strongest links in .the chain of evidence forged against him. Alma Kellner, the eight year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred F. Kellner, left her home in East Broadway on the morning of December 8, last, to attend mass at St. John's church, about three blocks away. :When she did not return home at the exoected time her parents made inquiries and the next morning a general search was begun. The general theory was that it was a case Of kidnaping and with the publicity given the case letters began to reach the parents attempting to extort money for the return of the child. From day to day the search con: tinued for many weeks. The uncle of the child, a well-to-do resident of Louisville expended much money running down clues. But not the slightest trace of the little girl was found either by the police or by private detectives and the case remained ah absolute mystery unUl May 30, nearly six months after her disappearance. Body la Discovered. On May 30 some plumbers employed to find a leak in the water pipes under one of the buildings attached to St. John's church found in the slime and ooze in which they were digging a part of the remains of the missing child. Buried near by were found a glove which the litUe girl wore , and several garments identified as belonging to her. Further evidence found around the school buildins; and among the effects of the janitor, Joseph Wendling, directed suspicion toward him and when an effort was made to capture him it was found that he had fled from the city in January. His wife was taken into custody . on suspicion of being; an accessory, but was subsequently released. - - A "world-wide search for Wendling was then "begun. He was traced into Texas, but eluded the detectives when they were almost on the point of capturing him in San Antonio. . Late in July, however, he was located in San Francisco through letters he had writUn to a woman in Hume, Mo-, and taken Into custody. The police theory is that the child, who was late for church,' waa discovered alone In the church by Wend-
