COLLEGE, Nov. 25 The trusty toe of Captain Webb Burke kicked the goal after touchdown which was the margin of victory in the 7-6 win of the University of Mississippi over the Mississippi Aggies here this afternoon.

By the dim margin of one point the Ole Miss team won its first state championship title in football In 15 seasons, and tonight the Maroon and White of A. and M. is dipped to the colors of a Mississippi team tor the first time in a decade and a half. The Aggies were outsmarted by Hazel's squad and lost because they were unable to follow the tricky formations and dazling passes of the Ole Miss eleven. Not recognizing the apparent superiority of the visitors at aerial football, the Aggies attempted passes at critical points in the campaign and efforts resulted disastrously in numerous cases for the A.

and M. team. The fireworks were concentrated Into one period, the second, when the thirteen points of the game were made. Ole Miss counted first on a smash through the opposing line by Lao-Biles, following a series of dazzling passes. The tosses were thrown ly Hubby Walker, diminutive quarterback and Lilly and Tadpole Smith were the capable reeeUers.

The fans were brought to their feet by the execution of the first chunk, a smoking toss that traveled with lightning like rapidity into the waiting arms of Sale Lilly.

While he was dressing, the clock he had set to awaken him sounded its alarm Questioned at police headquarters. Rogers, alias John J.

He said he had not been outside Manhattan and the Bronx since his last tscape last December and search of the apartment in the tenement failed to reveal any money or stol- en goods.

25. (AP) The "whole proceeding" of the annulment by the Catholic church of the mar riage of the duke of Marlborough and the former Consuelo Vanderbilt "is a discredit to the Christian and injury to religion," said Bishop Manning of the Cathedral of St. John the divine today. The bishop's statement took form of an extend-1 message to the dlo cese of New in which he said "if marriages are to be declared null and void on pleas so unreal as this, no marriage, and no home, can be regarded as safe." The bishop criticized both the grounds on which the annulment de cision was rendered and the right of a Vatican court to iass upon the val idity of "a marriage between mem bers of another communion, solemn ized in a Protestant Episcopal church in New York, under the laws of the United States." "This assumption of Jurisdiction by a Vatican court, he said, ias serious implications and will be rightly resented by great numbers of our people. Our religious liberty in this country must be uncompromis ingly defended against any such in-t terference.

This incident Is a sliarp reminder to those who love freedom of the importance of maintaining complete separation of church and state." Further characterizing the action of the Roman "Rota as "an u'nwar ranted intrusion and an impertin ence," Bishop Manning turned to the assertions from abroad that the 17 year old Consuelo was forced into the marriage by her mother, the present Mrs. O. H. P. Blmont, who sailed yesterday for France.

The Vanderbilt-Marlborough wed ding was solemnized in St. Thomas Protestant Episcopal church here in 1895. "Many who were present at the marriage," said the Bishop, "and were associated closely with the Marlboroughs at the time have in formed me that they saw no sign whatever that the bride was acting under any compulsion, but quite to the contrary." "This whole proceedings is a dis credit to the Christian church and an injury to religion. It has done more than any -event in years to weaken the sanctity of marriage. "At this time when so many in fluences are at work which threatens to destroy Christian marriage, the outlook is serious indeed if the Roman atholic church is to take such a position as this decree represents.

If couples who have lived years in wedlock can procure annulments merely by discovering that undue pressure in some form was used at the time of their marriage, divorce will become unnecessary. In the light of this annulment and the others that, nra ntr Tn nro n-n inf 1 1 VA Uil lai and puerU grounds, what becomes or me ciavn-. or the Roman church that it stands for, indissoluble mar riage?" SHELTON-BIRGER WARFARE SHIFTS One Man's House Is "Shot Up" And Another Dynamited in Illinois HARRISBURG, 111., Nov. 25. (AP) The scene in the Shelton-Birger gang warfare was shifted to Harrisburg again early today when the home of Virgil Hundsacker, one block from the home of Charley Birger, gang leader, was riddled by ouiiets fired by five unidentified men.

Ripperdam was wounded slightly in the head when struck by buckshot. The first attack was on the Ripperdam store, which is about a mile and a half northwest of the public square on a detour road to Marion, county seat of Williamson county. About an hour later the whole town was rocked by the explosion at the Hundsacker home, which Is in the western section. All the windows were broken, but none of the occupants was injured. Hundsacker has never before figured in the factional bootleggers' strife.

Birger told newspaper men the explosion almost knocked him out of bed. One theory is that the dynamite was intended for his house. The seventh automobile within a week was stolen here last night. Birger, who has set himself up as a "protector" of his home town against outside gunmen, recovered one of the stolen cars at West Frankfort yesterday and returned it' Jo its owner. a Barrett Brothers.

The victims of tonight's outbreak were Thomas and Charles O'Donnell, bootlegging gangsters, brothers of Edward "Spike" O'Donnell, who-was engaged in the beer "racket" here. The bystander who was wounded was Charles Barrett and standing only a few feet from the scene of shooting was John Conroy, county assessor, who was unhurt.

The battle was as spectacular as that staged in State street on the north side a 'few' weeks ago, when several gangsters were shot by rivals hidden in an apartment building and armed with a machine gun. The O'Donnell brothers were corn ered by several men riding in an automobile from which bristled the muzzles of a machine gun and several shot guns. Charles O'Donnell had left the home" of Miss Margaret Burns ia South Ashland avenue and his bro- tner, 'lorn, at the same moment came out of a cigar store across the street when the automobile pulled up a lew teet distant. One man leaped from the car with a shot gun and running across the stret pointed it at Charles O'Donnell and fired. As if the first shot were a signal, the occupants of- the auto mobile blazed away with shot guns and the machine gu-i, raking the street in the vicinity of the O'Don- nells with more than 100 shots while pedestrians scurried for cover.

Charles O'Donnell fell at the first shot and his brother Tom was drop- pea the fusillade, while one slug struck Barrett, a bystander. An au tomobile owned by the O'Donnells parked -nearby, was raked with bul lets, but it was unoccupied. it was at first reported that there- was also firing from a sec ond automobile loaded with gang sters, but tha. police were unable to verify the report. Charles Donnell, shot through the back, was found in a hospital by the police.

His condition is serious. Thomas was shot in the arm and his wound is not serious. He was taken to a hospital where he re fused to give any information to the police, claiming he did not know his assailants, Barrett was struck in the right shoulder and said he knew nothing about the shooting. Tom O'Donnell said he Just hap pened by and did not know Cahrles was calling on Miss Burns. He said his brother, "Spike," was at a football game.

Police immediately started round ing up rival gang leaders and hoodlums. They were looking par ticularly for a man known onlv as cogger," who had a fight with Charles rVDnnTll last Satnrv night near where today shooting occurred and who had made threats against him. The O'Donnell gang was one of the first beer running bands on the south side. Originally there were five brothers, Edward the leader; Tom and Charles, who were shot today, Steven and Walter. I John, another brother, was not In-1 volved in the so far as is known.

Nov.

25 (AP) Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, about to follow her two brothers to the witness stand in the Halls- Mills case, came to jail today to have Thanksgiving dinner with inem. Prepared to testify tomorrow or Saturday, she was buoyant and smiling as she reached the jail and issued one of her few statements when she told reporters: "I hope you have a good Thanks giving dinner." Mrs. Hall brought several ap plause cards to Willie Stevens. It was evident that her cheerfulness was caused, in part at least, by many letters she had received from irienas telling oi ineir eninusiasm.

Willie Stevens made no secret of a fact that he has made a fire engine house his club, but it was developed by his testimony that when he was in his own room smoking a pipe that "everybody objected to," he was reading books that made a full man.

Time Rumors Unfounded TEMPORARY CASUALTIES ARE AIM OF SCIENTISTS Definite Fatalities During Wartime by Gas Is Not Really Desired WASHINGTON, Nov.

25. (AP) War-born popular gossip of super poison gases, discovered but never used because they would have wiped out whole populations at a breath, received a sharp setback in the an nual report of no less-a person than Major General Amos Fries, chief of the chemical warfare service and leadin gexponent of the use of gas in war for humane reasons. "Scientific investigation," he said, "is rnaking it more apparent that future develooments in the use cf chemical agents will be concerned more with the methods of use and distribution of known chemicals than the discovery of more powerful chemical materials and further, that the effectiveeness of chemical wea pons is due more to the large number of temporary casualties which may be produced than to the relatively small number of fatalities which may be caused. "The chemical agents employed during the World war are probably about as effective for the production of casualties as any which may be discovered in the future." General Fries also took issue again with the claim that exposure to war gases induced subsequent tuberclosis. marconTtroubles over his marriage Wireless Inventor Wants Annulment of Knot With Beatrice O'Brien ROME, Nov.

25. (AP) One of the reasoas for the plea by William Marconi, noted wireless inv.entor, for annulment of his marriage to Beatrice O'Brien is to please his former wife, who desires to solemnize in the Cath-oli church her marriage to the Marquis ICarignoli. Senator Marconi and his wife obtained a civil divorce at Fiume, theirs being the last case acted on under Hungarian law before the city was annexed to Italy. Later the for mer signora Marconi married me Marquis, with whom she lives at his magnificent villa at Spoleto. The inventor to-night categorically denied the statement published in an Italian newspaper that he had discussed the annulment Question, during his audience with the pope yesterday.

The audience, he said, was occupied almost entirely with scientific subjects, the pontiff taking the keenest interest in the latest radio developments. They also discussed mountain climbing, of which sport the pope was formerly an enthusiastic follower. Marconi denied the declaration that he had instituted the annulment proceedings because he desired to marry a young English girl who has been assisting him in his scientific work, as well as a rumor that he intended to marry a Roman society woman.
