The nature of the action.

C. Byers, the chief train dispatcher In Kankakee, who he Bays, failed to notify the Indianapolis yard- master that the special train was coming. Sixteen people were killed In the wreck, fifteen of whom were Purdue students. H. Bishop, telegraph operator at Shelhv street, who, it has been said, might be held responsible, la not mentioned In tbe verdict.

The verdict says that one of tho rules on the Big Pour, rule No. J3, provided that Trains not scneduied when permitted to run between North Indianapolis and shops must keep tindor control, expecting to find track occupied by yard engines." The evidence showed that the extra Daa- senger train was not under control and was within tbe limits prescribed by this rule. Tbe ooroner finds that the orders that were given to the engineer and conductor on the extra passenger train and under which orders the extra train was being run, fixed the time tor tne arrival at rorth Indianapolis, and In order to csrry out Ihe orders It was necessary to run at a high rate of soeed. rne verdict exonerates the crew of the snec- lal train.

The Judgment of Ihe Big Pour officials was that this crew was responsible ror me wreca Decause tne train was not un der control. GREAT SCANDAL IS COMING. Grand Rapids Water Scandal Case Laid Bare by Prisoner Arrests to Follow. Grand Rapids, Nov. 14 Lanl K.

II DeWitt, Star of the Game, Kicks a Winning Field Goal From the 43-Yard Line-. THE FINAL SCORE, 11 TO 6. Yale Shows Superiority at Ground Gaining, but' Princeton Stamina Tells, in the End. In Ihe most sensational foot ball game of recent years, Princeton defeated Yale yesterday, on the Yale field, at New Haven, by a score of 11 to 6. The result of the game was In doubt until within three minutes of the end of tho second half, when DeWitt, the captain of the Princeton team sent the.

oval sailing between the Yale goal posts from a hick from placement upon Yale's 43-yard line and won for the Tigers. Though Princeton won In the total points scored, the honors of the contest were' so nearly even that, after the timekeeper had blown his whistle at the end of the game, there was still room for a difference of opinion on the relative merits of the teams. Yale, though beaten finally, was the aggressor throughout the greater part of the game and the feeling on the Princeton side of the Held was hope rather than confidence. When the second half was well under way there were few If any of the Princeton supporters who would not gladly have accepted the knowledge that the game would end in a draw. But the fear of defeat which over-1 hung the Princeton stand and gave to their desperate cheering the, ring o.f determined resistance, was In a few brief minutes transformed Into a howl of exultatlou by the changing tide of battle and almost before thlB howl could have beaten Its way across the field to the Yale stand It was followed by the frenzied yells and screams of victory assured.

The weather, which threatened during the morning hours to put a damper on enthusiasm, cleared about noon and afternoon was an 'Ideal one for toot ball. The turf, though a triflo soggy from the morning rain, dried out enough to give a firm footing and during the game was springy and fast. There was just enough frost In the air to give the players test for their work and lo keep the spectators lively. DeWitt of Princeton the Man Who Won the Game. The hero of the great game and the gams was one that will be long remembered and discussed as great the man without whom, Trlnceton must surely have left the field, beaten and crushed, was John R.

DeWitt. It was DeWitt who broke through Yale's giant rush line at the end of the first half, blocked the kick of the Yale back, Mitchell, aimed at bis own goal, seised the ball and, with tho entire Yale team giving chase, rau 10 yards and planted the oval between the Yale goal posts. It was DeWitt who, time after time, tore wide holes In the Yale line, through which Ihe Princeton hacks found their way for gains. It was DeWitt who, when, his own team was on the defensive, lent his giant Btrength to Princeton's, line, not only holding his own man lo check, but giving rigidity to tho whole line. It was DeWitt who with the Yale ends and backs charging down upon him, repeatedly booted the ball far down the field, out of danger, as camly and coolly as If In practice.

Finally, ss the crowning achievement of a day's playing that would have sssured him a high place among Princeton's galaxy of football heroes. It wss DeWitt whe, with 30.000 men snd women s-qulver with the tensity of the moment, coolly shot the ball Into the narrow space between the goal posts 43 ysrds away and added to Ihe points he had already won so sensationally, the score that decided the game. Vetterlein of Princeton, by Fine Judg ment, Enables His Team to Win. The honor of the Tiger victory cannot. however, be given entirely to the big Prince ton captain.

No small sbars of It should be credited to Vetterlein. the qusrter snd half back, who at a time of the most Intense ex citement, when victory hung in the balance, had the presence of mind to heel the bsll while cstchlng a long bunt from halfback Mitchell, and thus gave bis captsln the opportunity which be accepted so successfully. In the Judgment of many of the well known foot ball alumni of both colleges, this plsy of Vetterleln's wss the feature of the game. It was the combination of circumstances surrounding the play which made It one of con spicuous brilliancy. There was only the brief space of three minutes left to play; Ibe catch was msde In a clear field, where there was good opportunity for a sensational rau, whlcb might possibly have given to Vetterlein the honor of making the winning score; the distance from the goal posts, whether It was short enough to make a successful place kirk, had lo be determined Instantly.

All these things had to be considered and a decision reached while running Into a position to catch Mitchell's bunt. Thers sre few players oa tha gridiron this fsll who aould hate chosen the right thing snd done It ss did VetterUIn Princeton Outlasts Yale on the Line) No Sign of Overtraining. The work of the two llnea deserves equal praise. In the early part of the gnc. during Ihe flrsi bslf and the first part of the second half.

Ihe Yale line appeared lo have a shade the better of Ibe argument. Rut ss the second half progressed the Princeton plsyrrs showed Increasing strength sod ability, and. Id tbe last fifteen minutes of play clearly had the Ysleslaos no the run. This wss tbe more surprising because of Ihe disquieting stories of general overtrain Ing on the part of the Tiger eleven, which gained wide circulation before the game. This belief seemed te find support In Ihe evident lack of confidence among Ihe Prince too undergraduates la Ihe ability of tbe team to wis.

Unlimited offers of 2 to I thai Yale would ln went begging, and, even after Princeton bad lied ihe score la the first half, It was essy 10 obtain bets of 10 to oa Yale. It would be unfair lo place the reauonslbll Ity for Yale's defeat upoa Individual play ers. They all played their game fully up lo the expectation of Ihe eoaiBea and excelled this expectation In msor particulars. The Tiger victory ass due to the Individual brill. Ism-y of lieWItt and Vetterlein, and still more, perhaps, to what gamblers aould call "Ihe hresk ef the lurk." forty In the second half, with Ihe score a tie, Yale I wire had Continued en Page 6.

Vessel Will Be Assigned for Meet-ings Between Isthmus Officials and Colombian Agent NO TROOPS AT BUENA VENTURA. Colombian Warship Without Coal Admiral Glass Cables Everything Is Quiet at Panama. Washington. November 14 in order that the comteniplatcd mission of General Reyes, of the Colombian government, to Panama, having for its object the making of overtures to the new Republic designed to secure Its return to the national domain, may Dot be accompanied by any unpleasant in cidents, due to the possibility of his coming without being officially accredited. Secretary Hay late to-day, after a conference with Minister Bunau-Varilla, determined to ac cord to General Reyes the courtesies of a warship upon his arrival at the Isthmus, should he desire to go aboard.

It also was arranged with Secretary Hay that a warship will be especially assigned to the government of Panama, In which Its officials may hold conferences with the Co lumbian representatives, should they desire to da bo. Following his visit to Secretary Hay, Minister Bunau-Varilla called at the Rus sian embassy and had a long interview with Count Casslni, dean of the diplomatic corps, who was asked to lend his assistance In se curing recognition of the new republic. To simplify the efforts In this direction. Min ister Bunau-Varilla to-day urged his government to clothe the commission, now on its way to Washington, with special powers to make such representations to the foreign representatives here as will effect a (speedy recognition of tho new republic. By this means It is stated the necessity for sending a representative of Panama lo each of the foreign capitals charged with the duty of securing recognition will be obviated.

It is said to-night that Count Casslni looks with favor upon the plan proposed. Minister Bunau-Varilla expressed himself as having no doubt that his government will adopt the suggestion. Rear Admiral Glass cabled to the Navy Department to-day, under date of Panama, November 12, that the British ships Quito and Havana sailed from Buena Ventura on their regular voyage unmolested and that their captains, upon arrival at Panama, reported there were few Colombian troops at Buena Ventura, and that the Bogota, the Colombian warship, was without coal. He added that everything was quiet on the Isthmus and that there was no rumor of dla-atisfactlon. CANAL TREATY READY SOON, Xo Hitches Such as Marked Course of Colombian Negotiations Expected to Occur.

V.Uflo Bureau, 608 Fourteenth 8treet. Washington. November 14 The canal treaty with the Republic of I anama will be ready tor transmittal to the Senate tor ratification by the time the regular session of the Fifty-eighth Congress is called the first Monday In December. It Is possible that the instrument may be completed before that time, but there Is a disposition ou the part of the administration officials not to unduly rush tho negotiations. No hitches are expected to arise such as marked the courso of the negotiations with Colombia.

Tho State Department has received assurances that everything that It seeks in the way of rights and privileges will be granted by Panama. On the other hand this government will be Just as generous with Panama as It was with Colombia, and the new republic will receive the full 110,000,000 that was to be given to Colombia. Borne little concern Is Doing displayed by the administration officials over a report that was put Into circulation to-day to the effect that at least two Senators have announced their determination to fight the Panama treaty, tooth and nail. The two Senators who arc thus credited with opposition are Messrs. Morgan and Dubois, both of whom were prominent In postponing favorable action on the Hay-Hrrran treaty a year ago.

It Is alleged that the agents of the syndi cates who hold canal conception lo Nicer- agua and Costa Klca have openly declared nrre to-day tnat uunoia and Morgan will heat be new treaty with Panama. In view of this development there are Mint who think It might be wise for the administration to have acted on the rerom mendstlon of certain well known Interna llonal lawyers and gone on with the work of constructing the canal without referring tho matter to Congress again.
