TIGERS WILD OVER HARVARD'S DEFEAT Resumption of Gridiron Hostilities Between Schools Draws Thousands.

(National News Association) PRINCETON, N. J. Nov. 4 More than 30,000 spectators, banking the entire field in a solid mass of humanity, this afternoon InauKurated the reason's first real important game', that between Harvard and Princeton with a tumult of enthusiasm which had been accumulating since the ancient rivals' last meeting fifteen years ago. Princeton won by the score of 8 to 6. The weather was perfect for foot ball and while it was not brilliantly clear, the air was crisp and full of tingle. The Harvard eleven by reason of the consistent form it has Hhown this season, was the favorite in the betting and the invasion brought out a flood of money. As the invaders went Into the game the odds stood at 0 to 8. Harvard Kreshmens' victory over Jrinceton in the morning by the score of 12 to 0 had a sobering effect on the Tigers' supporters. Harvard won the toss and took the south goal, giving the Tigers the kick off. Vaughan kicked off to Harvard's ten yard line and was run down by Potter to their ten yard line. Hunt ington kicked back to center of the field where Wilson was downed by ,WendelI. The Tigers gained five yards through center and failed on a right end run.

The teams exchanged goals after two minutes' rest, the ball -being then on Princeton's 35 yard line. Vaughan opened the second quarter by kicking to Harvard's 35 yard line, Huntington running back 5 yards after a good catch. An aeroplane darted across the field with Harvard colors. It contained two people and was greeted with cheers. On an off-side play Princeton was penalized fifteen yards. Wendel failed at center and also through right tackle. Princeton got the ball on downs on her 15 yard line, Harvard falling to gain on its try through center. Vaughan punted to the 48 yard line where Gardiner carried it back six yards.

Session of German Reichstag Promises to Be Very Stormy

BY STEVEN BURNETT. A sensation has been caused at BERLIN, Nov. 4. Political feeling j Strasburg by the news that the new , . , t , . . j carbine, of which so much was exwill run high in the final session of d lg in tfae hands Qf a gpy Thfi the present Reichstag, and the de-j. authorities of the Fifteenth bates promise to be stormy and ran-; Army Corps are greatly concerned.

corous. A number of important bills r.re awaiting action but public attention will be concentrated upon the purely political aspects of the session so far as it may affect the forthcom ing General Elections, and, above all. upon the interpellation debates. It f8 morally certain that several of the parliamentary factions will ask the government to give an explanation of its Moroccan policy. Whether or not 'he government finds it expedient to reply, it cannot prevent a debate on ,h" f'hject ''" ; ! interpellation asking the Government; . ' , , . The Socialists will bring in another what if proposes to do toward reliev ing the distress arising from the enormous advance in the cost of foods. In view of the state of popular feeling on this subject and the imminence of the elections, the discussion of the question promises to be scarcely less in teresting than th.-t upon Morocco, and quite as embarrassing to the government, which can offer no definite assurance of relief. The Chancellor who attempts to remove the restrictions excluding the importation of foreign meatsone of the chief Socialist demands would invoke the enmity of the entire Conservative-Agrarian element. Herr Rebel and his followers win !- u, .e i.g.u .ii me; coming election largely on the issue , of dear food. A more effective and j ...III l.n 1. 1 , 41 r: L . .1 , popular campaigning issue they could hardly desire. Conditions for which it is hard to find any other adjective than "horrible" have come to light in a German school. These conditions cloak a conspiracy among certain school boys to murder the principal of their gymnasium. The ages of the conspirators ranged from thirteen to fifteen years. They had bound themselves in writing and lots were to be drawn as to who should have to do the shooting. The murder would have surely taken place had not a teacher come across a letter which put the authorities on guard. What is still more disquieting is that the incident has brought to light several instances that point to the innocent-looking German schoolboy as a dangerous criminal. At a school in Halle-on-Saale some lad attempted to bribe the owner of a restaurant to allow them to supply one cf their teachers with a glass of liquor such as he drank nightly. The man pretended to consent, but reported the matter to the police. It was r . . .3 .1 & il . , . . . . reported as declaring that in his insti tution "none of us are sure of our lives!" No doubt such cases are exceptional, and as the Minister of Education says, "do not occur through any fault of the teachers." but it is alarming that it should occur at all. Berlin playgoers are deeply disturbed over the announcement that important changes affecting the management of three of the city's greatest theaters are in prospect. It has become known that Director Max Reinhardt is considering an early retirement from the management from the two theaters over which he has presided so long and so brilliantly. The abundant opportunities offered him elsewhere, both in Europe and America, it is said, have tempted him to seek a broader field of activity. Simultaneously, it is announced that Dr. Otto Brahm, who Tanks with Reinhardt as a director, will retire from the management of the Lessing Theater. These changes mean a revolution in Berlin theatrical conditions. Dr. Brahm will be succeeded by Herr Victor Barnowsky, hitherto director of the Kleines Theater, but who will, or can, take Reinhardt's place is a matter of conjecture. The number of royal writers on the Continent is by no means inconsider-' able, nor are any of them really hidden by the pseudonyms they invariably assume. Of such wayfarers on the slopes of Parnassus the most widely known, no doubt, is "Carmen Sylva." In real life "Carmen Sylva" is Elizabeth, consort of King Karol of Rumania. Among others is Queen Marie of Naples, the "last of the Bourbons" as 1 she is sometimes called, because she Is the widow of the deceased king of Naples and the Sicilies. Her given name is "Countess Isola," and under it she has published quite a series of religious works in nrose and iwwtrv she has just celebrated her seventieth birthday. The pseudonym "Th. von Bayer j hides from no German the personality ! Schleswig HoIstein. who died some little time age. wrote many poems under the pseudonym, "F. Hagin" and Princess Amalie of Saxony, who belonged to a past generation, wrote several popular plays over the signature "Amalie Joy." According to an announcement, issued by the management of the Deutsches Theater, the indefatigable Dr. Strauss has another surprise in store for the public. This time he has has gone to French sources for his inspiration. Moiliere's comedy, "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme," which is about to be produced at the Reinhardt Theater, has for its hero a wealthy upstart, who is trying to ape the ways of a nobleman. The stage directions call for the production, incidentally, of a little opera with a ballet. Dr. Strauss is now composing an opera for the purpose, using a text provided by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, "Ariadne auf Naxos." The work will be completed in time for production this

and have placed the matter in the hands of secret agents. A number of reservists had been ordered to put in a period of training at

Haguenau. When the period came to an end the men were reviewed by an officer who declared himself satisfied with them. But the inspecting officer was astounded when the men were in vited to return to their arms. It was found that a carbine cf the latest model had disappeared as if by en chantment

A stranger had been I seen drinking with the soldiers, but I curious as it may seem it has been j found impossible to place the reserv- ; ist who parted with his carbine. This : is due to the fact that when the ! weapons were distributed no note was I taken of their numbers. The reservists who went to their homes are being watched by the authorities. The official announcement that the part of the Franco-German negotia - tions relating to Morocco have been pharaphiert, that is to say, initialled, caused absolutely no excitement and i,ardiy any comment. The term paraphiert. has nothing to do with "paragraph," as one leading German paper supposed, but comes from a Greek word, meaning a "flourish." In this case the flourish consists of the initials of the negotiators, "K" and "C," the former standing for KiderlenWachter, the German Foreign Secretary, and the latter for Cambon, the French Ambassador. That it is anything more than a device to persuade people that something has been finished and done no ( erne believes, for it simply makes the agreement a conditional one, depending for its ultimate validity on a further agreement about concessions in the Congo. Even in the latter event the matter is not finally settled, since the agreements must run the gauntlet of the French Chamber and the Reichstag. There is another reason for the silence. It is widely suspected that Germany has been out-generalled over Morocco, and the suspicion is accentuated by an apprehension that she is about to suffer the same fate in regard to the Congo compensations.

Filkins had just returned from a six months' tour of the continent, and his trunks and boxes were numerous. With considerable anxious care he had prepared his declaration, but when he saw the eagle eyed inspector plunge into his work a wave of fear spread over him. Could he by any possibility have forgotten anything? And if so and it was brought to light would he have to suffer the pain and humiliation of arrest? Rapidly he ran over in his mind the dutiable objects that he remembered having heard that others had brought in clothing, objects of art, books, bric-a-brac, jewels, musical instruments ah. his heart stood still musical instruments pianos, violins, flutes, organs With beating heart he approached the inspector.

Why is it that all our musicians ta writing a nautical soug invariably ose a portion of the best known hornpp as the introduction, "vamp," or counter-melody? Why do the dpen fifths in the bass always appear in rusticsongs? Because it can't be helped, it seems. Our popular Irish songs always have a bar or two of a well known old Irish melody or a drone bass, otherwise they wouldn't be Irish. The exhausted old Turkey and his partner, the straw, come to the rescue of every "rube'' song or dance that is perpetrated, and our national airs must run all through the accompaniment of patriotic songs to give them "flavor." Because u.l of these things are "set" they are conventions. Why must every song end on the tonic note, with 'the preceding tone either the second or seventh of the scale, unless we except the detestable third or the hollow fifth? Because our audiences expect it. Should one of your composers in a moment of bravery or recklessness produce a score in which he disregarded these many conventions his first night hearers would go away remarking that the music was crazy. They do not realize that they expect to hear the same old thing, served up a trifle differently, of course, but still the same. From "Where Have I Heard That Tune Before?" in Metropolitan Magazine. TELESCOPE LENSES. The Small Glass Magnifies the Picture Made by the Large One. People sometimes wonder why a telescope has two glasses, one at the big end nnd one at the little end. and they waut to know the difference. The glass at the big end is to gather light. It is simply a big eye. If it is a hundred times bigger than the eye in your head it will gather a hundred times more light. It gathers the rays of light.coming from a star and bends them all into a common meeting point called a focus, which is a picture of the star. You can look nt this picture of the star with your naked eye if you like. But you can see it better and examine it more closely if you look at it with a small magnifying glass. And this is the glass at the small end of the telescope. It magnifies the picture made by tha big glass at the other end of the instrument. All telescopes are built on this principle. Sir William Herscbel was the first to arrange matters a littie differently. He took away the glass from the big end and admitted the rays coming straight into the tube iu parallel lines. Then at the bottom of the big tube he placed a bright con - cave mirror made of burnished metal, When the entering rays fell upon this mirror they were again bent to a point called a focus, which was the picture of the star. To look at this picture he had to place the little magnifying glass at the side of the tube because the mirror had stopped up its lower end. Louisville Courier-Journal. Something Blind.

TWO FAST F

R1ENDS

ARE NEAR A BREAK Alaskan Question Draws Secretary Fisher and Gifford Pinchot Apart. National News Association) BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. Staunch friends of Walter Fisher, secretary of ;the iteriot and G:ftord Pinchot, leadi er ot the Republican radical eonservaare siriwng to unag me two io1 gether for a quick and amicable soluj tion of Alaskan problems that mean j mucn to tne people ot the I uite.l i States and of Alaska. j The same persons have already ; sought to create a widespread impressioh caat an causer oi an altercation between Fisher and Pinchot over these i matters is past, that when the proper I time arrives they will be found workins shoulder to shoulder. Their mu tual friends would have them sitting "before an open fire grate in Washington some cool evening this fall settling Alaskan affairs by a friendly discussion of the issues involved." War Clouds Hovering? Despite this, to many observant government officials in close touch with the real situation, war clouds are still hovering over the Northwest- ; ern territory, with the Secretary of tary of the "Interior in regard to Alaska, interest is heightened by the fact that they were fellow officers in Pinchot's personality conducted conservation organization prior to Fisher's elevation to the secretaryship of the Interior Department. Risk Lives for Facts. According to the optimistic view of the Alaskan situation the problems of that territory rest fundamentally upon questions of fact, and, although the opinion is advanced that Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Fisher will not differ materially as to facts, they appear to have been unwilling to take each other s word for anything bearing upon the issues. This is strongly indicated it is believed, by the personal visits of the two at different times to that country, in which both are said to have risked their lives in an effort to "get at the facts." Mr. Fisher was the first to venture into the wild frozen country. The whole party suffered great hardships, on the Bering river especially, and even imperilled their lives, it is reported, in the quest for truth. This stream is of glacial origin and its current swift and treacherous. The constant shifting of the glacial silt on its bottom causes shallowness in spots so that even an Indian canoe cannot navigate it safely. The Fisher party, well knowing all this (a tip from the guides), ventured fifteen miles up the river, and its members frequently found themselves standing waist-deep in mud and water. Leaving the stream they tramped about five miles in the dark and forded streams, each with a pack on his back. They did not reach their final destination until toward 2 o'clock in the morning. Just to "get at the truth," when Mr. Pinchot might have supplied it without a bit of risk or expense. Finchot Visits Alaska. Xot long afterwards Mr. Pinchot, accompanied by United States Senator Miles Poindexter, of Washington, a radical Republican progressive, journeyed to the same territory on an independent hunt for the facts about Alaska. To many these incidents alone indicated that any agreement between the two men, both still well to the front in the political limelight, regarding the Alaskan questions in issue, is hopeless. It was supposed that Mr. Pinchot was aware of Mr. Fisher's trip, and many wonder why he was not willing to acept Mr. Fisher's report as containing the real truth about the territory and its affairs. Hence the significance attached to his following the Secretary there. The possibility that the two might arrive at wholly different conclusions excited considerable uneasiness among their friends and others, and as the result many then j expected, and still expect, a clash between them eventually. j The Pinchot party are reported to ; have followed the trail of the Fisher 'party from beginning to end in search of facts which might have been obtainj ed from the otner party by awaiting jts return. J To Controller Bay Both tieg took a trip' on Con. r ti, where the Guggenheim interests expended $2,000,000 for a breakwater and other terminal facilities for a m j railroad from the copper and coal disr a n-Vi !

They risked life ' among the numerous sandbars, on any j one of which they might have been wrecked and leit to pensn. Persons familiar with Alaska as the result of personal visits there say both Fisher and Pinchot ought to have been sobered in thought and action by their experiences in the great territory. It ;has been Dointed out that one of the principal difficulties with Alaskan af-

fairs, so far as Washington is concerned, is that few of the leading men who have taken a turn at the subject have ever seen the country. The Ball-inger-Pinchot episode awoke national interest in the country its people and its affairs, and it is regarded as extremely unfortunate that at this time especially, when serious effort should be -under way toward well-defned policy for the development of the territory's resources there is liklihood ot a break between the two men who are looked to to work out a just and equitable arrangement that would benefit not only the people of Alaska but also those of the United States. If the facts of the case are really all that the situation requires for proper settlement, it has been said thera ought to be little difficulty. Both men have been on the ground and are believed to have brought back a great deal of reliable data. How far the two reports agree or disagree is not known, except, perhaps, to a few members of the administration and a fewclose personal friends of the Secretary and the conservative leader. With the facts once established, and a general policy founded upon them, questions of detail, it is feared by some, may cause differences of a troublesome nature. If the friends of the two men succeed in their pacific movement it is agreed that the administration would owe them gratitude, for the President is said to be uneasy over tha situation.

WABASH IS VICTOR OVER THEJUAKERS Hard Fought Battle Saturday Goes to the Fast Little Giants. tVabash 12; Earlham 3. In what is considered the hardest fought game of the season the Earlham football squad went down to defeat yesterday afternoon at Crawfordsville, at the hands of the Wabash team. Consistent football was played by both teams from the start of the game to the finish and every inch of ground was won and lost valiantly. Never before was the Earlham eleven in better form and the defeat was the first one of the season. Despite the fact that Bogue sustained an injured knee in the Wednesday practise he played a good game, making the only score for Earlham. Earlham opened the scoring in the first quarter when Bogue made a pretty place kick. In the second quarter Wabash "came back," securing a touchdown. The third quarter went rapidly, neither team scoring. In this quarter both teams played their best and displayed the fact that they had received some hard workouts during: the past week. An attempt was made by Farlham to tie he score at this 8.2,3 of the contest, but Bogue failed to f.ke a place kick. In the last quarter Wabash held Earlham and in addition secured another touchdown. Both teams used the forward pass but were not successful with it. The ball went low and struck the ground the pass failing. One feature of the game was the sensational block made by "Deak" Reagan. Wabash attempted a place kick and Reagan jumped several feet in the air, getting the ball. Eighty-one Earlham students boarded the car in this city and ten more students at Indianapolis helped to swell the crowd. Several others were at Crawfordsville and the entire number, together with the college drum corps, made known the fact that Earlham was not, lacking in support.

Curious Contagious Disease That At tacks Tin, Brass and Lead. The alleged contagious diseases of metals is a topic t' "t has been mentioned from time to time, but shall be mentioned again because it tends to promote uniformity in our views of mineral life and other kinds of life and to discredit the fashion of regarding anything in nature as dead and inert. In a lecture before the Soclete de Chimie Physique at Paris a professor spoke of the fact that tin when exposed to a temperature below the freezing point of mercury shows a kind of eruption of pustules In which the metal loses its ordinary shining surface, becomes gray and on being cnt with a saw either falls to powder or breaks up into a bundle of fibers. This nLection Is capable of being communicated by contact, for the application of a few grains of the powder to the surface of a block of perfectly sound tin brings about its transformation in a few days. In another transmlttable disease of tin the structure of the metal Is changed and becomes crystalline. This disease has a special tendency to attack joints which have been soldered, bat it attacks brass and lead as well. Metals do seem more alive and organized than the earthy minerals. Century Path. Foreign Eccentricities. -The people in these foreign botett, said the young tourist, "have the queerest ways I ever saw." "What's the matter now?"
