President Jordan Denies Some State
ments Attributed to Him and Re
garding Others Does Not Make
Reply to Tost' s Inquiries.
DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 11. Football
Coach Yost of the University of Michi
gan tonight said President David Starr
Jordan of Stanford University was
wrong In inferring that Yost had paid
no attention for Ave years to President
Jordan's criticisms.
Coavh Yost eald that in 1903 ire
wrote President Jordan asking if he
had been correctly quoted and receive?
a reply dated May 12, 1903, saying that
newspaper reports were incorrect; that
Presldent Jordan had not mentioned
Gregory by name and that the only
criticism he had made was that a
player (meaning Gregory) who had
tailed in his studies at Stanford Uni
versity should not have been admitted
to Michigan, and if admitted, should
not have been allowed on the football
team.
Yost said that President Jordan over
looked the fact that Gregory spent an
intervening year st a preparatory col
lege getting caught up in his studies.
Yost said he wrote President Jordan
again in 1905, asking him if he had
been correctly quoted in a magazine
article that charged Yoet with offering
Gregory J1500 a year to come to Michi
gan, and 'to -this letter Yost said he
received no reply, and that he received
no reply to a similar letter written last
December.
The coach said it was after learning
of President Jordan's letter to Presi
dent Peixotto, of the Pacific eectlo l of
the American Athletic Union, that he
decided to give his reply to the press,
as he considered that the published let
ter could not carry a misquotation. .

gene Ends in Score of 2 7 to 21.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, "Eugene,
Or., Jan. 11. (Special.) Oregon Agricul
tural College defeated Oregon "by the
score of 27 to 21 in an exciting game

centers of the two teams. Foster for
Corvallls and Loosely of Oregon, both of
whom measure over 6 feet 4 inches in
height.
Captain Hathaway was the star for
Oregon, though most of Corvallls' baskets

WILL VISSCHER IN fIGHT
I'ormer Coast Newspaper Man
Shoots Omaha Policeman.
OMAHA, Jan. 11 Col. William Light
foot Vlsscher, of Chicago, a well-known
newspaper writer, shot and slightly In
jured Policeman P. H. Dillon here to
night. Vlsscher had been arrested,
charged with disorderly conduct, and
Dillon was trying to put him into the
patrol wagon.
Vlsscher had gone to the Union Sta
tion en route to Chicago, but missed
his train and when he tried to board
another was prevented by the train
men. This Incensed him and, accord
ing to the police, he became dis
orderly. He was arrested and while
being taken to the police station In
the patrol wagon suddenly drew a pis
tol and nred at Officer Dillon, the
wagon conduotor. The shot struck
Dillon In the face, passed around and
lodged In the back of the neck, caus

dangerous wound. Vlsscher was then
locked up.

SLAYER OF FATHER
Was It George Tennyson or
Dead Sister, Flora?
MYSTERY ON KANSAS FARM
When Son Is Accused, He Produces
Sister's Deathbed Confession.
Shower of Ijead Through Win
dow Killed Old Man.
MINNEAPOLIS. Kan., Jan. 11. (Spe
cial.) George Tennyson's honeymoon
of less than three weeks came to a
sudden end today, when Sheriff Fred J.
Barrett, of Frankfort, drove out to the
young man's farm, nine . miles from
this city, and placed him under arrest
on the charge of being implicated in
the murdor of his father, February 27,
1906.
Second only to the surprise caused
by the arrest waa the confession made
by young Tennyson when taken into
custody. Producing a note, which, he
said, was written by his sister. Flora,
on her deathbed, he handed It to the
Sheriff. On the piece of paper waa
written:
"George, I was the cause of father's
death. Don't tell any one unless you
have to. FLORA,"
Dead Girl's Sweetheart Wanted.
The third development was the
search for and arrest of Horace Tros
per, former suitor for the hand of
Flora Tennyson, today In Marysville.
Advices from there Bay he la wanted
as a witness. It is alleged that he
knows something of the murder of
David Tennyson, who was an aged and
wealthy farmer residing one mile east
of Frankfort.
The old man was killed as he was
sitting near the window at his home
resting after the day's work. The
splintered glass and the victim's
wounds gave the best evidence that
the shower of lead had come from a
shotgun fired at close range.
Shortly after the death of his sister,
George Tennyson moved from the vicin
ity of Frankfort and purchased a farm
near this city, on which be was living at
the time of his arrest. He waa well
thought of. On last Christmas day he
married Jennie Fleming, whose parents
live near here. Not the slightest suspi
cion had entered her mind, and the scene
when the Sheriff entered the Tennyson
home and asked the young man to ac
company him .was pitiful.
Family Quarrels Common.
When v the elder Tennyson was killed,
his wife was sitting near him reading.
No harm came to her. The only clew
found by officers was an old shotgun be
longing to David Tennyson. It was found
in an outbuilding. The motive never was
explained. George Tennyson was in
Frankfort before and after the murder, a
distance of 20 minutes, if one walked fast.
There waa considerable trouble In the
Tennyson family. All of the daughters
married against their father's will. Flora
was married to James Brock, but secured
a divorce, and was in her father's home
when he was killed. Tennyson left all
his property to his three sons.
TAFT'S -ENEMIES SCARED
(Continued from First Pa(a.)
demand for his -nomination, visible In
all parts of the country, have increased
the probability that Governor Hughes
will not be a candidate at all before
the Chicago convention." It now seems
pretty clear that, barring the un
expected, Mr. Taft will win out on
the first ballot, as Mr. Roosevelt has
predloted. As matters are now .going,
he can win without New York state
and If the Hughes people are really
anxious to have a complimentary vote
for their favorite, the Taft men in this
state may conclude not to stand In the
way.
FOBAKEB MEN HOLD MEETING
Elect Committee at Cleveland to
Contest With Taft Men.
CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 11. The first
stroke of the Foraker followers here
was made today when in a mass meet
ing a committee was selected to dis
place the regular Republican county
executive committee. The question of
the legality of the committee selected
as against the regular committee, said
by the Forakerites to be a Taft organ
ization, will now be placed in the
hands of the county board of elec
tions. The claim of the so-called Roosevelt
committee, a third element In the local
situation, also rests in the same situa
tion. It will be the duty of the board
to determine which committee is law
ful and of authority' to act for the
party in nils county to make a call
for Republican primaries, all on the
same date, February- 11. The board
has until next Wednesday to decide
upon the merits of each claimant.
Many policemen were on duty today
In the convention hall in anticipation
of an encounter between the Foraker
ites and the followers of Secretary
Taft, who early announced their inten
tion to pack the convention, but It was
as quiet as a Sunday-school conven
tion and everything went through
unanimously and without a hi tab- Res
olutions condemning the regular com
mittee and the one-man pdwer in the
party were adopted.
At the proposed primaries delegates
to the state and National conventions
will be chosen. .
WILL FOLLOW NO GOLD BUG
Populists Will Oppose Bryan ir Sad
dledWlth Gold Democrat.
OMAHA. Jan. 11. (Special.) Thirty
thousand Nebraska Populists will refuse
to support W. J. Bryan If he has a gold
Democrat for a running mate, is the flat
statement made by T. W. Tibbies, who
was the Populist candidate for Vice-President
in 1904. Mr. Tibbies is preparing to
line his party In. Nebraska up for the
St. Louis convention in April.
"Not many of the Nebraska Populists,"
says Mr. Tibbies, "are in sympathy with
the call for a National convention at St.
Louis in April. We feel that we are a
minority party and that the old parties
should be permitted to take the lead.
While many of the Nebraska Populists
are still favorable to William J. Bryan,
very few if any of them will follow him
this year if they are forced to swallow
a goldbug of the Parker stripe hitched
to him on the same ticket. The Populist
party has principles to uphold which
cannot be entrusted to any man who has
not stood squarely fog them.
"Our organization in Nebraska has
been badly shattered of late, but in 40
counties the Populist organization is well
maintained, and before the next National
convention the other counties will have
reorganized. There are about 30,000 Pop
ulists in the state. Twenty thousand of
them voted for me four years ago, and
about 10,000 voted for Roosevelt, With
the right kind of a candidate we can turn
them all back into the old groove. They
do not care nearly so much for party
names as they do for results, but they
are not to be ignored as a prominent fac
tor in Nebraska politics."
TWO COUNTIES ARE FOR TAFT
Taft Men Control Belmont and Jef
ferson Committees.
ST. C LAIRS VILLE, O., Jan. 11. At the
meeting of the Belmont County Repub
lican committee here today the Taft men
carried their programme through without
any opposition. An early primary was de
cided upon, the total vote of the county
to decide as between Secretary Taft and
Senator Foraker.
This means a solid Taft delegation from
Belmont County.
The Jeff erson. County committee at Steu
benvilie endorsed Mr. Taft by a. vote of
11 to 5.
Too Devoted to His Ideals.
CHICAGO, Jan. ll.-Judge Peter S.
Grosscup, of the United States District
Court thinks President - Roosevelt may
be an "over Ideal." In an address at
the twenty-fifth annual inatiatlon ban
quet of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity,
at the Congress hotel last night. Judge
Grosscup said: t
"I may not be sure but what Roosevelt
Is an over Ideal. We must not go too
far in ideals. We mustnot over empha
size them at the expense of the prac
tical side of life. They go hand in hand
and accomplish something more than
dreams. Ideals are often overdrawn and
we may carry them too far. It is in
this respect that I refer to the President.
"We should not devote ourselves In
this commercial age to mere Ideals, but
should-look further." ,
First Election Bet Made.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. With the con
ventions which will nominate Presi
dential candidates still months away,
betting on the result of the election

Donald, the turfman, offered to bet JSO00

player, and at one time member of the
Republican National committee from
Minnesota, took the bet.

PANIC MONEY SOON TO GO
fcNcw York Bankers Jubilant Over
Statement From Clearing-Houso
and Cheer Wildly When It Ap-
pears on the Ticker Tape.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. For the first
time since'the beginning of the finan
cial stringency in October the clear
ing-house statement showed that not
only had the heavy bank - reserve
deficit been entirely wiped out, but
that a surplus of $6,084,050 above the
25 per cent legal requirement had been
established.
The figures made known today ex
ceeded the most expectant hopes of
bankers and brokers and when the
statement appeared on the stock tick
ers it was greeted with a round of
cheers in practically every banking
house in Wall street.
Bankers declared that no better evi
dence than the clearing-house state
ment could be obtained to show the
rapid restoration of confidence and
the tremendous outpouring of the
hoarded money. The excellent state
ment foreshadows an early retirement
of clearing-house certificates, which
were first Issued on October 26 of last
year.
With the end of the money strin
gency there will now be plenty of cash
for the business and industrial world
and many contemplated projects which
were temporarily abandoned during
the money pinch, can now be financed
and proceeded with. The clearing
house banks faced a deficit in reserves
on November 23 or $54,103,600, the
largest in history. Since that time the
deficit has constantly decreased and
with the . rapid return of hoarded
money and funds from the interior,
last week'B deficit of $11,545,000 has
not only been obliterated, but a sub
stantial surplus of $6,000,000 estab
lished. DEPOSITOR SUES FOR MONEY

m the present action.
He sets forth that on October 4 he had
on deposit at the bank $4,217.33 and that
his wife, whose book enows $737, has a
signed her claims to him. It is alleged
that part of the funds of the depositors
were embezzled and part of them misapr
propria-ted. As sums specifically embez
zled, 'he mentions $25,000 by Brown, $35,-
000 by Bartnett and by Treadwell $4o,0u0

at $150,000. and the value of the plant is
estimated at the same amount. The com

Banks Flooded With Currency.
jstiw iuku, Jan. 11. Currency,
which was at a considerable premium
a short time ago. is now something
of a drug on the market, according to
orncials or savings banks, which with
in the last ten days have been flooded
with deposits by pania-time money-
hoarders. The large amounts of cur
rency received have In many instances
caused th 10 per cent limit which
these Institutions are allowed to carry
in cash to be exceeded. The surplus
has been turned over to their de
positories, state and national bank and
trust companies. Savings bank men
now report protests from these institu
tions, which are asking for deposits
by check Instead of cash, which they
find inconvenient to handle.

RAILROAD MAN
Didn't Like .Being; Starved.'
A man running on a railroad has to
be In good condition all the time or he
is liable to do harm to himself and
others.
A clear head is necessary to run a
locomotive or conduct a train. Even
a railroad man's appetite and digestion
are matters of Importance, as the clear
brain and steady hand result from the
healthy appetite followed by the proper
digestion of food.
"For the past five years," writes a
railroader, "I have been constantly
troubled with indigestion. Every 'doctor
I consulted seemed to want to starve
me to death. First I was dieted on
warm water and toast until I was-81-most
starved; then, when they would
let me eat, the indigestion would be
right back again.
"Only temporary relief came from
remedies, and I tried about all of them
I saw advertised. About, three months
ago a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food. The very first day I noticed
that my appetite was satisfied which
had not been the case before, that I
can remember. ,
"In a week, I believe, I had more
energy than ever before in nfy life. I
have gained seven pounds and have
not bad a touch of indigestion since
I have been eating Grape-Nuts. When
my wife saw how much good this food
was doing me she thought she would
try It awhile. We belieVe-the discov
erer of Grape-Nuts found the 'Perfect
Food.' " - '

Progress by Merchants National.
From the present rate of progress In

The officers of the battleship Nebraska
were outspoken In their condemnation of
Governor George L. Sheldon, of Ne
braska, when they received word today
that he had postponed his trip to the
Coast to present the warship with a sli

from Magdalena Bay especially to meet
the Governor, who was due to arrive In
San Francisco tomorrow.
- Instead of the Governor, came a tele

would not mind, the Nebraskan officials
would prefer to postpone their visit to
San Francisco until after the arrival here
of Admiral Evans and his 16 battleships.
