Which Means Cannon. VIEWS OF MR. OVERSTREET HE NOW THINKS CANNON WILL RE THE M. 1 SPEAKER. Talk with the Indianapolis Representative on the Withdrawal of Mr.

Rabcock. MILWAUKEE. Nov. 15. -The Wisconsin Republican delegation to the Flfty-tlghth Congress decided this afternoon to support the candidacy of Joseph G.

Can-son, of Illinois, for the speakership. This action was taken after the delegation had unanimously offered its earnest suppart to Joseph VY. Babcock, of the Third congressional district of Wisconsin. Mr. Baboock, however, declined to be a candidate and advocated unanimous support of Mr.

Can-nun. Mr. Babcock addressed the delegation as follows. "Gentlemen I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind and cordial support. The office of speaker of the House- is one of the highest importance and of great power and responsibility; his power Is limited only by the will of the House.

The speaker of the Fifty-eighth Congress should. In view of the present environments, be elected with peculiar care and with serious fegard for party harmony in Republican policies. He should be chosen without incurring obligations that might wecken the organization of the House so that he would frtt to use his best judgment to make the organization the strongest possible to the end that public measures may be considered without prejudice and to the end that the greatest good may be accomplished for the greatest number. "While 1 appreciate the great honor you have conferred upon me and the great compliment to me and to our State involved in the offer of support, I believe that I should consider this subject in an absolutely impersonal may, laying aside all merely personal ambitions. My time, as you know, has been given for the success of the Republican party and Republican principles by the election of a Republican House of JiepreHeiitntives.

We have elected a Republican House by a majority of thirty, according the latest repcrts. 1 ARMONY DESIRABLE. The first and most Important thing to be considered is a harmonious organization, one that will bring to the speaker all the elements of strength In the party. The Xsst has several distinguished gentlemen whose names have been mentioned for speaker, among them the Hon. Sereno E.

Payne and Hon. J. S. Sherman, of New York; Hon. John Dalzell, of Pennsylvania; lion.

C. E. Little-field, of Maine, and in the middle West Hon. Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio.

The West proper has but one announced candidate, the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, the veteran leader of the ISO, ripe in experience, courageous, wise and above reproach, whose highest ambition would be to faithfully promote the success of Republican principles, to give due heed to public sentiment on the great questions that confront us now and that are likely to be considered, and to maintain that co-operation of the House with the nate so necessary to wise and careful legislation. "If I should enter the field as a candidate It would be a long-drawn-out contest that might leave scars that would in the end prevent that harmony of organization which, in the public interest, should be preserved, especially in the West. We must not forget that our first duty is to the people and that we must give President Roosevelt's administration a strong a 1 united support, and while I assure you.

tny colleagues, and friends, that I gratefully appreciate your kind tender of support. I am constrained to believe that the best interests of the great Northwest, the whole country and the Republican party, things considered, is that the West should present but one candidate for this high ofhea. After i onsldcring the subject from all Standpoints, including those which I have mentioned. I have concluded not to enter the list of candidates for the speakership. Among the other considerations which have Influenced me to this end there is one which I may not, with justice to myself, omit to mention.

You are all aware that five times I have, by the partiality of my colleagues, been made a member of the congressional committee by the members of which I hav been chosen chairman. As chairman of that committee I have been charged with the duties of leadership in t'-sta to maintain a Republican ascendency the House of Representatives. I Law never allowed myself to forget that all the political power and Influence incident to this position were placed In my hands in trust for the benefit of the party; In no sense properly to be used in further-1 my personal ambition. Remembering this, I have been reluctant, notwithstanding the flatering offers of support for the speakership which have come to me, to allow myself to be numbered among the candidates for that office lest some might attribute a portion of my support to the political leadership which for the time I I held, it is not enough for me to know that such an imputation would be unjust. It is enough for me to know that it might to many seem just.

I shall never cease to be grateful to my colleagues for the tribute of confidence Involved In your Indorsement of me for the speakership." a MR. OYKRNTR KKT'S VIEWS. Indianapolis Representative Now I inks Cannon Will Be Eleeted. 'The announcement of Mr. Babcock that ho will not be a candidate for the speakership leaves but one candidate from the Waaf, and he will probably be successful." Said Representative Jesse Overstreet.

of this district, last night, when he had read Associated Press dispatch from Milwaukee. Representative Overstreet is spending Sunday at the home of his father In Franklin, and the dispatch was read to him by the Journal over the long-distance phone. In his reply he indicates that n. of Illinois, will be the next sp aker. Dalzell.

of Pennsylvania, will be the onlv other real candidate for the position." con-tir med Mr. Overstreet. "He starts with votes from his own State and will also a majority of tad Bastsrs representative him. but In my judgment Cannon have practically all of the West back of him and he will be stronger In the East than Dalzell will be In the West. Consequently it looks like his election is assured.

"Payne, of New York, is a candidate, and so is Llttlefleld. of Maine, but the former will not all the delegation from own State, and I do not believe that the latter can develop any great strength, annon will get votes In Massachusetts. st Virginia and Maryland, and probably rr ni other Eastern States. The delegations from nearly ail of ths Was tern and middle West State have declared for him. and In my Judgment he has enough votes now to elect him.

In the end I believe that Dalxell will be the only candidate against him." Representative Overstreet declined to state whom he would support, saying that he was still noncommittal on the subject. He was not surprised at the announcement from Mr. Babcock that he would not se-k the speakership. He said that he had received an intimation to that effect and was expecting a formal statement from Mr. Babcock at this time.

Because of the close personal friendship between Mr. Overstreet and Mr. Babcock. it was expected that the representative from this district would lend his support to the Wisconsin man. In an interview in the Journal on his return from New York.

Mr. Over-street declined to state whom he would support, and this was interpreted to mean that he was not for Cannon, but would vote for Babcock if the latter became an avowed candidate. With th Mr Overstreet. and possibly Representative i Cromer, of the Rlirhth Hi.tHnt it mlA that the entire Republican delegation from this State is for Cannon. A number of the Indiana Republican representatives held a meeting in Chicago last Thursday in the interest of Cannon's candidacy, and Representative Hemenway has been especially a tlve in looking after the fences of his friend from Illinois.

The election of Mr. Cannon to the speakership, which now seems assured, means that Indiana will have the chairmanship of the appropriations committee, the Illinois representative having announced that he would appoint Mr. Hemenway to that position. REBELS DEFEATED. Venezuelan Insurgents Driver.

Out of the Town of Coro. CARACAS, Venezuela. Nov. 15. In a battle to-day lasting five hours President Castro's first lieutenant, Leopoldo Baptista.

who sailed yesterday from Puerto Cabello with three warships and a force of 1,500 men, defeated the rebels and reoccupied the town of Coro, 203 miles northwest of Caracas. Revolutionists numbering 320 have escaped in the direction of Sabaneta, closeiy pursued by Baptista troops. MANY PERSONS PERISHED FURTHER DETAILS OF THE SANTA MARIA VOLCANO'S HAVOC. Destruction of Property Said to Be Greater than Caused by Mont Pelee In Martinique. NEW YORK.

Nov. revelations of great loss of life and property caused by the eruption of the Santa Maria volcano are being made daily, says a cablegram to the Herald from Guatemala City under date of Nov. 9, transmitted by way of San Salvador. Eruptions continue. Many hundreds of human beings perished, and the destruction of property Is considered greater than that in the island of Martinique by the eruptions of Mont Pelee.

I All of the estates in the neighborhood of the volcano are buried under volcanic ashes, which reach to the tops of houses. The richest coffee estates are completely ruined. The principal losers are the large cofiee planters, mostly United States citi zens and Germans, whose properties are ruined. Two or three new craters have been formed on the side of the volcano. There were no eruptions from the summit.

Pumice and asl.es were carried in the I southern and western directions. The sea has a coating of volcanic matter extending for many miles. The loss of the coffee crop, which is Guatemala's principal export, has completely demoralized commerce and the government finances generally. The national currency money, which is the only circulating medium, has fallen to 7 cents gold for one paper dollar. Prices of all necessities have risen to a prohibitive figure for many persons.

The authorities are trying to force the dealers to sell goods at the usual prices, but the condition of affairs is such that business is entirely paralyzed. Violently worded handbills and posters are being circulated. ALL P0B BETTERMENTS. Proeeeds of New Northwestern Stock to Be I sed on Present Lines. CHICAGO, Nov.

15. "Proceeds from the new issue of stock which the Northwestern is to make will not be used for the purpose of aggrandizement. There is no concealed purpose in the measure, the details of which have been made Marvin Hughitt. president of the Northwestern road, made this emphatic statement to-day when asked what was to be done with the possible revenue that may come from 136.000,000 additional Northwestern stock. It was suggested that rumors were rife here that the company was preparing to extend its lines to the coast, but at this suggestion Mr.

Hughitt displayed scant paticnv.e. "When I tell you." he explained, "that there is no hidden purpose concealed in the proposed issue of new stock I have told the whole story. The circular which the company has issued relative to the matter is plain and explicit, and behind it there lies nothing. We took great pains to take the stockholders into our confidence and let them know just what they are going to get. It Is.

moreover, incorrect to say that this will make Z3h.non.oun additional runrts available at once. The actual Issue will be 110.000.000. We are expending a great deal of money for track elevation, new equipment and extensions and betterments which will take all of that sum." BOSTON "SLUGGER" CASE. Warrant Issoed Chararlna; Negro Perry with KilltnaT Aarnes McPhee. BOSTON, Nov.

15. A new move was made in the "slugger" case to-night by the issuance of a warrant charging George I. C. Perry, the negro, with the murder of Agnes MPhee in Somerville on the night of Oct. 3.

Perry is held at the Cambridge jail for a hearing next Tuesday on the charge of the murder of Miss Morton in Waverley. Sheriff Fairbarn, keeper of the Cambridge jail, is ordered to produce Perry in court at Somerville on Monday morning for a hearing. At the same time that the warrant was issued Lieutenant Carter, of the Somerville police, and Inspector McBride. of Cambridge, placed under arrest as witnesses against Perry Ethel Carter, eighteen years old. and her cousin.

Hlizabeth Carter, ninety years old. The latter is Perry's sweetheart, while the former had in her possession the chain taken from Miss McPhee neck. Both girls were found in Cambridge and locked up in Somerville. They refused to talk about the case. OLD HOME OF A POET BUBNED.

House Once Oeeupled by William Cul- len Bryant In Ruins. NEW YORK, Nov. 16. Scores of men and women whose names are familiar in society strove in vain to-day to save from the flames the old home of the poet, William Cullen Bryant, at Roslyn, L. While his friends and neighbors tolled in a bucket brigade to aid the firemen, who gathered from all the surrounding villages.

W. Butler Duncan, who lived with his family in the home, directed his efforts to stop the fire. All the furnishing of the house, including rare paintings, costly rugs and furniture and the original library of the poet, were saved, but the house itself was destroyed, together with Mr. Duncan valuable collection of yacht models. BUTTON, BUTTON; WHO'S GOT THE BUTTON? DEED OF AN ANARCHIST ITALIAN NAMED HI HIM) ATTEMPTS TO KILL KING LEOPOLD.

Fires Three Shots at His Belgian MaJ. esty, but Misses Him and Hits a Count's Carriage. MUCH EXCITEMENT FOLLOWS MOB ATTEMPTS TO KILL THE WOILD-BG ASSASSIN, Who Is Finally Landed in Jail After Mueh Trouble Kins; Leopold Cool and Unniored. BRUSSELS, Nov. 15 An Italian Anarchist named Rubino attempted to assassinate the King of Belgium this morning as his Majesty was proceeding to the cathedral to attend a Te Deum in memory of the late Queen Marie Henrietta.

The King was uninjured. The would-be assassin was arrested. Rubino is a bookkeeper. He was born in Rinardo, near Naples, in 1859, and recently came to Brussels. As the King passed on the Rue Royale, Rubino stood in front of the Bank of Brussels and fired three shots.

At first it was believed he had fired only blank cartridges, but it was later found one of the cartridges at least contained a bullet. The unexploded cartridges in the revolver were blanks. When Rubino was arrested the police had difficulty in rescuing him from a mob. He was placed in a cab and infuriated crowds of people immediately surrounded it and attacked the vehicle with knives and sticks. The police had much trouble in forcing a way to the police station through the crowd which shouted alternately "Kill him" and "Long live the King!" The cab was badly hacked with knives.

A search of the prisoner revealed a package of ball cartridges. The bullet which missed the King smashed the window of Comte d'Oultremont's carriage and grazed the grand marshal's face. The royal cortege consisted of several carriages, besides that of the King, containing the Count and Countess of Flanders. Prince and Princess Albert of Flanders, the Princess Clemen tine and aids-de-camp and ladies of honor. it is reported that Rubino had been heard to express Anarchist opinions and it is also said that he came to Brussels from London expressly to kill King Leopold and went to the cathedral to-day for this purpose, but refrained from shooting at the King for fear of killing soldiers who stood between him and his Majesty.

Rubino is also reported to have said he was employed In the Italian secret service in London and that he came to Brussels a fortnight ago with the intention of assassinating King Leopold. The news of the outrage spread rapidly throughout the city and great excitement prevailed. The people thronged the streets eagerly discussing the attempt on the life of the King and large Crowds gathered in front of the various bulletin boards. The newspapers Issued frequent editions and these were eagerly bought. General abhorrence was expressed by the people at the apparent deliberate attempt to i.ssassinat' the sovereign.

King Leopold appeared to be quite unmoved by the attempt of Rubino to kill him. After luncheon at the palace his Majesty entered a motor car and proceeded to the railroad station, where he boarded a train bound for Groenendael. That Rubino intended to assassinate King Leopold seemed fully established this evening by the prisoner's confession to the police. The latter at first denied all the reports to the effect that the revolver contained ball cartridges or that Rubino was connected with anarchism. But they flnallv admitted that the prisoner had confessed that he intended to shoot King Leopold and that he held ararchistic beliefs.

The confessed would-be regicide Is a small, bald-headed man with a heavy black mustache. He maintained perfect calm during his interrogation by the police. He Informed the police that he came from London, where he went on a futile search for work. There Rubino obtained assistance from the Italian embassy and was temporarily engaged to watch Anarchists. He was dismissed, however, as the embassy officials discovered that he sympathized with the Anarchists.

It was then that he bought a revolver and fifty cartridges and went to Brussels. Failing to find work. Rubino said he "determined to act" and went to the cathedral with the intention of shooting the King. But he did not fire at his Majesty for fear of hitting intervening soldiers. Then Rubino proceeded to the Rue Royale, where he awaited the cortege The royal carriage containing the King passed before Rubino was able to draw his revolver, hence the bullets hit only the carriage following.

In Rubino's pockets were found picture post cards bearing portraits of King Leopold. Prince Albert and Princess Elizabeth. The prisoner said he procured the cards so as to be able to recognize the members of the royal family, and expressed the hope that others would be more successful than himself. He also said that he did not regret ills act and would have fired at any CONTENTS OF TO-DAY'S JO Part OneTen Paget.

It is thought possible this individual was an accomplice who carried off the revolver which the police have not found.

I SBSBBBBIBBBBBkBnBSv THE COST OF REPAIRS COUNCIL COMMITTEE WILL REPORT ADVERSELY ON ORDINANCES. Members Do Not Hellere Abnttlng Property Should Be Compelled to Stand the Expense.

MAYOR'S BOULEVARD PLANS HE OUTLINES IT TO THE COUNCIL FINANCE COMMITTEE. Different Sections to Be Given Certain Benefits Chicago Officials Examine Paved Streets. The Council committee on sewers, streets and alleys, composed of Councllmen Holll-day, Eppert, Rhodes, Wynne and Wahl, will report adversely on the ordinances authorizing the Board of Public Works to resurface Virginia avenue and East Washington street at the expense of abutting property. The committee met last night to discuss these ordinances. The discussion was brief and emphatic.

"I will not support any effort to saddle the expense of such Improvements on abutting property," said Mr. Rhodes at the outset. "The property owners who have borne the expense of improving streets, as I believe they should, should not be held up for the expense repair when the city has been at fault In not caring for the street after it was made. If the city had repaired the streets promptly and properly there would have been no need of resurfacing." "Well, I guess we are of one mind on that." said Mr. Holllday.

Mr. Wahl agreed with them. Mr. Wynne, however, dissented. He said the city had been at fault in not caring for the streets, but the only way in which the streets could now be put in good condition was through the method which the board had undertaken.

Otherwise there would be no proper repair, as the city had not the means to make it. Mr. Eppert was not present. The resurfacing improvements are on Virginia avenue, from the alley north of Stevens street to the alley north of Prospect street, and on Washington street, from Alabama street to the Tnlon tracks. Both were defeated by effective remonstrances before the Board of Public Works, which was required to gain the approval of the Council before proceeding with the work.

DRIFT OF PUBLIC POLICY. The aciion of the committee is following the general drift of public policy on street improving. Mayor Bookwalter has provided a fund of $50,000 for use next year in reapairing permanently improved streets, and he has also advocated the enactment of a charter amendment prohibiting the reassessment of property for resurfacing until after the lapse of a certain period of years. His theory is that the city should be prompt to repair streets and thus make them last longei and be kept all the time in first-class condition. But it is also true that, if this policy was to be put in force suddenly, there would not be enough money available to make all the resurfacing and repairs necessary.

Certain streets, it was felt, should bear another assessment for resurfacing, and then the city should by constant application on those that are In good condition gradually bring them all to high grade. The Board of Public Wonts felt that the emergency was sufficient to warrant the two improvements for which approval was asked, but it finds that sentiment has become very strong against a continuance of this policy. The condition of the streets is an inheritance from the Taggart regime, which contented itself with repairing them all together by an annual contract. The Taggart regime refused to adopt the prompt-repair system, and when it went out of power left most of the streets in deplorable condition. The committee's decision will doubtless be approved by the Council.

It may also have the effect of awakening public interest in the policy of "about facing" and providing the means necessary to make repairs on all improved streets as soon as they are discovered. The committee also approved the ordinance ratifying the contract between the Board of Public Works and Crown Hill Cemetery Company, by which the cemetery company pays $24,000 as its share of the construction of the Northwestern-avenue sewer The ordinances changing the names of Ruth street to Holmes avenue and Dewey avenue to Andrews street were approved. The ordinance providing for a flagman at East. North street and the Big Four tracks was approved by the committee on railroads. BOl'LEYARD CONSTRUCTION.

Mayor Bookwalter Outlines Plan and Committee Is Favorable. The Council committee on finance will submit a report to the meeting to-morrow night recommending the passage of the ordinance authorising a bond issue of $100,000 tor boulevard construction. This ordinance has been pending for three months without action. The four Republican members of the committee, Wynne. Rhodes.

Crall and Eppert, have signed the report and Councilman Berry, one of the Democratic members, will sign it if it is made sure that a liberal portion will be used on the Pleasant run boulevard. Mayor Book-waiter attended luting of the finance committee last night and gave that assurance. He also outlined the character of an improvement between Sheiby street and Garfield Park that was contemplated. Mr. Berry said he wanted to be sure that the work on the South Side would begin at the same time it did on the Fall cr.

boulevard and the mayor said it would be. Mr. Moriarity. the other Demon at ic member, only smiled when the report was offered to him. He remarked that this money would be better used to resurface Virginia avenue, an improvement more needed than boulevards.

Mayor Bockwalter explained to the committee how the administration hoped to make a beginning in the boulevards. He said he found It possible to travel eighteen miles around the city of Detroit on boulevards connecting the park system of that city. The progress of the city required such provisions here if the city was to keep pace with its progress in other respects. He explained his idea for making a boulevard out of New York street to Owosso avenue, then north over the levee from Michigan street to Indiana avenue, and thus giving access to Riverside Park. He has agreements with property owners that will make this task an asy and economical one.

He also gave in detail the plan for the Fall creek boulevard between Capitol avenue and Central avenue. When property owners are too high-priced, and he said a number were, the land needed would be acquired through condemnation. He said there was no reason now why Capitol avenue should not be made a boulevard and kept tree from heavy traffic. The heavy traffic should be sent to other streets which are constructed to receive it, while Capitol avenue has ideal boulevard construction. As to the Pleasant run project he said the boulevard would begin at the Shelby street bridge and follow the south side of (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8, COL.

1.) HIGHER WAGES FOR MANY ABOUT 15,000 NEW YORK CENTRAL EMPLOYES BENEFITED. Nearly SI, 000,000 Added to the Com-pany's Pay Rolls Advances Also Made by Other Railways. NEW YORK, Nov. 15. It became known to-day that the New York Central Railroad recently has Increased the wages of some 15,000 men in its employ by from 8 to 13 per cent.

The increase adds nearly $1.000,000 a year to the pay roll of the company. Three reasons are given for the policy of the road: The increased cost of living, the wish of the management to equalize the wages In all parts of the system and the company's desire to recognize faithful and efficient service. The increase has been made without any formal announcement. PITTSBURG, Nov. 15 The Pittsburg Lake Erie Railroad will meet the wage advance of the Pennsylvania system.

Announcement to this effect was made today by Col. J. M. Schoonmaker, vice president and general manager of the road. It has not been determined what increase will be given or what class of employes will be affected.

Colonel Schoonmaker, in his statement, says his company is in shape to accord its employes equal facilities for wage earning and equal rate of wage for like service paid by other lines in this section and when the rate is determined will give its employes the benefit of the same. OMAHA, Nov. 15. Five hundred Union Pacific switchmen were to-day granted an increase of 12 per cent, in wages, which makes the scale the same as that recently adopted in the Chicago yards. The new scale extends to the switchmen of the entire system and is effective at once.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. Southern Pacific Company to-day signed a new agreement with the telegraphers, train dispatchers and station agents employed on the Pacific system. An increase in salaries amounting to 1G per cent, was glued upon and salaries were adjusted to suit the increasing business at many important points. The conference between the railroad officials and the committee representing the employes was most amicable.

The Order of Railroad Telegraphers was represented by H. H. Perham, president, and a general committee. FREIGHT CONGESTED. ChlcMB-o Railways In Need of More Cars and Motive Power.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15. The Record-Herald to-morrow will say: "Never in the history of Chicago, except during a big strike, was there such a congestion of freight in the railroad yards of this city as there is at the present time. The shortage of cars and motive power, of which the roads and shippers have been complaining for month.v has become more and more pronounced In view of the vast increase in traffic due to the moving of the crops, until now an unprecedented condition exists. Shipments of all kinds are days behind and the freight officials are fairly deluged with urgent requests from shippers that their goods be traced to learn what has become of them.

So numerous have these demands become that the local freight agents so elation is urging shippers to forbear from making inquiries unless goods are perishable or have been delayed more than a week. The delaj' in getting merchandise out of Chicago is said by wholesalers to be the most serious ever known PLACE FOR M0LINEUX. He Will Work in His Father's Paint Factory in Brooklyn. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.

Roland B. Moli-neux will go to work in the factory of the DeVoe paint works, his father concern, in Brooklyn. General Mollneux said yesterday: "I shall take my boy to work in my factory. Of late I have been obliged to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning to attend to business. I intend Roland shall take this burden from me.

He will get up and I can sleep. Just now the boy feels like a bird whose wings have been clipped. The business has been injured by the notoriety in this case, and it will have to be built up again." When asked what the defense of his son had cost him he said: "It cost me more than $100,000." IN BEHALF OF NEGROES. John S. Wise Files a Petition to Restrain Vote Convassers.

The white and crimson of the State University was dragged In the mire In the most humiliating defeat of recent years. Outplayed at every point of the game, with its vaunted speed slow as time, compared to the rapid formations of Purdue, Indiana was never in the hunt. Gameness she showed, and a bulldog grit which won the cheers of the 5,000 spectators, but overmastered in offene and beaten in defense, the boys from Blooming-ton were hammered, pounded and smashed until toward the close of the second half they could do little but fight desperately to keep down the score of the black and old gold. The game was a surprising exhibition of Purdue's unexpected strength and a revelation of Indiana's weakness. Purdue anticipated victory, but by a close score.

Thirty-nine to nothing was a dream only of the optimistic undergraduate. Indiana had made no claims of success, but thought to hold her ancient rivals hard and fast. The game proved that Purdue was not only heavier, but speedier than Indiana. State University disappointed its admirers by Its inconceivably slow play. Time and again, when brilliant opportunities were offered for gains, leaden slowness prevented, and the fast Purdue baoks were given their chance to break up the 'play.

Indiana's line was tissue paper bv'fof the fierce hammering of Leslie, Osborne, Kay-lor and Davidson. Now and then, when desperation bid fresh courage. It held only to be shivered and ripped to pieces by fresh assaults from Purdue's human catapults. Purdue's interference was conceded evct by Indiana men to be absolute perfection. Hohn, Knapp, Boyer and Reibel, running true and sure, guarded the backs from downfall and made possible the long series of gains that made the second half mertiy a procession up and down the field, with touchdowns for Purdue at each end.

The interference formed with lightning speed and was always effective. Indiana's interference, on the contrary, was so poor as to cause universal surprise. Ine men with the ball had to make their own interference time and again, and the score itself best shows that weakness. PURDUE'S BE8T WORK. Purdue's best work was in bucking the line.

Indiana's left tackle, Jones, was early selected as a mark, and against him and Clevenger the fiercest plunges were directed. Davidson, Kaylor, Ieslie and Osborne went through left tackle on tandem formations for gains of from five to twenty yards. Indiana's best work was around the ends, but even there Purdue excelled, and Ross and Stoddard were circled for disheartening gains. Purdue's eleven played like a perfect scoring machine. Its team work was beautiful.

Indiana's playing was marked by lack of mechanical precision and individual effort. The comparative work of the two teams may be thus summed up: Purdue's line was impregnable and held like the rock of Gibraltar; Indiana's crumpled like paper and seldom held. Purdue's backs started with the speed of Mercury; Indiana's got off slowly and were not helped by proper interference. Purdue's ends were down the field like shots from a gun on kick-offs and punts and downed Indiana men In their tracks; Indiana's ends were slow and failed every time to prevent the ball from being run from one to forty-five yards. The punting of both teams was poor, and little kicking was done, Purdue usually gaining, thanks to her ends.

Purdue's team work was perfect; Indiana's left everything to be desired. The game was clean-cut and altogether free from holding, slugging and objectionable features. Purdue's anxiety and over-speed caused her to be penalized several times for off-siie play. Both teams struggled in the best spirit, and when men wre temporarily knocked out Indiana men helped Purdue's and Purdue men Indiana's. a straight, clean, hard-fought, desperate contest it has not been excelled on Indiana gridirons this year.

Because of Purdue's wonderful clockwork play, it is difficult to select the stare of the game. Kaylor's hurdling was undoubtedly the feature and time after time the Indianapolis boy plunged head first high over Indiana's line for sensational gains. He was a sure gainer whenever tried, and hit the line with terrific force. Captain Leslie went around the ends and through the left tackle almost at will and made a number of long runs. John Miller, with a crippled shoulder, never failed to negotiate his distance.

Osborne and Knapp were worked hard and smote the line with Titanic force. Davidhon at center was a tower of strength, and in defensive work played the best game of his career. Riebet and Hohn also shone. For Indiana Mevenger. Coval and Knignt worked like Trojans, but could not beat down the imrregnsble defense.

Captain Railsback. at right guard, broke up many plays directed at him. and Quarter Back Driesback. although criticised for slow handling of the ball, was used with good effect in end runs. The halves were of thirty-five minutes each.

OPENING OF PLAT. It was Just 3:16 o'clock when big John Miller kicked off for Purdue. Indiana ran the ball back tnlrty yards, but Purdue heid and Captain Leslie went around left end Ross for sixty yards. Then the Purdue rooters broke looee, and even the gold and black bedecked girls In the grand stand went crasy with Joy. Purdue was penalised ten yards for offside, but Reibel was soon pushed over for the first touchdown in exactly six minutes.

Miller failed to kick goal and the score was 5 to 0. Indiana picked up a bit. but Purdues fast work was revelstlon and the handwriting on the wall was plain. Clevenger OlmtnjEDON PAGE COL. 1).
