Difficulty Is Found. n ASHIXGTOK. Nov. 13. (Special.) President Wilson has determined to put an end to the activities of Teutonic egents in the United States. t.v his direction, the Department of Justice and the Secret Service are co operating to secure the ncccsary proof to punish the mm caur"it in projects which endanger the prace and safety ol the country. More important, how ever, is the President's direction that the search shall bo continued for those "higher up." As soon as he Is in pos session of all the facts. Mr. Wilson wil lake steps to stop the pernicious ac tivity of diplomats and Consular offi cers who are directing the work of de stroying munitions factories, ships and other enterprises. Von 3uber Under SilHnlclon. Ir the President carries his intention to its conclusion, and the charges now on file should be substantiated, it would surprise no one should this Gov eminent request Austria-Hungary to recall Herr von Nuber, its Consul Gen oral in New York. Count von Kernstorff. the German Ambassador, has been under suspicion lor months, but in the absence of proof it Is clearly impossible to take any ac tion against him. Should the revela tions of Dr. Goriear. recently resigned as Austro-IIungartan Consul, bo sup ported by evidence, then whatever dip lomatic Consular officer is Involved will go. The Austrian anu German Embassies deny the truth of Goriear's allegations, but the Department of Justice today had the promise of documentary evi dence to substantiate them. Iternun DocumrntN Received. Tn addition the State Department has received from the British government the documents carried by a German messenger. These contain a great deal of information regarding German and Austrian activities and supplement the papers taken from James F. J. Archi bald, who was familiar with the con tents pt Dumba's dispatches. The De partment of Justice lias not initiated any action against Archibald because It could not obtain proof that he had knowledge of the character of the dis patches he was conveying. j A long and exhaustive study of the status applicable to the case of Kay, the alleged dynamiter, and his confed erates, was held today in the office of Attorney-General Gregory, in which Assistant Attorney-General Warren and Vnited States District Attorney Mar shall, of New York, took part. Per haps the most important result of the day's work was the conclusion that the preat body of Federal statutes is per-! plextngly wanting in laws to apply to espionage or partisan conspiracy.

(Special.) The districts of Batum and Ardaghan, which are inhabited by Georgians who were forced to accept the Mohammedan religion by former conquerors, have been the theater of fighting since the beginning of the present war. First the Turks invaded the territory last inter and spring. The Russians drove mem out later and reconquered the country. The result of these operations is mat the districts are in ruins. Jn Araaghan, a region which for merly was like a garden, only nine villages out of 43 are left. 19 having oeen completely and 15 partly wiped out, while of 21,000 inhabitants only uui nave survived, and 1000 of these are without means of subsistence. In the Armvin district out of 25,000 in uaoitants only 100 remain, and they are in complete destitution. In Mor gul and Gone the population has been almost annihilated, only 60 families surviving the passing war wave. The sturdy mountain people are suf fering silently and hence no help is iorthcoming. The few survivors have taken refuge in the mountains and the neighboring places. NEEDY WILL TAKE CENSUS School Clerk Announces Plan to Aid Cnemployed This Tear.

LAWS NO LONGER ENFORCED Sedition Fostered, Graft and Robbery Are Common. CLIQUE RUNS GOVERNMENT Charges to Be Made Before Next . Congress and Backed by Evi-' dencc Gathered on Ground. Respect for Americans Lost. WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. Serious charges of misgovern ment in the Phil ippines resulting from President Wil son's policies will be made the basis of demands in the forthcoming session of Congress for a searching investiga tion of the conditions of these Oriental wards of the United States. The Administration is preparing to press again the enactment of the Jones Philippine independence bill, which was passed by the House In the last Con gress, but sidetracked in the Senate when the Democratic majority found itselt embarrassed by the evidence of the present unfitness of the Filipinos 4or self-government. (lOrenmnt la Demoralised. As a result of recent revelations of the demoralization in the Philippines produced by Democratic rule and ef forts to demonstrate the capacity of the Filipinos for sclf-goternraent, the opposition to the Jones measure will be greatly augmented. Several Republican members of Con gress have been In the Philippines this year gathering evidence of the scan dals of misgovernment which have been suppressed by the Administra tion censorship. The Administration, foreseeing the danger, has been forti fying itself to meet the Republican attack. General Mclntyre. chief of the War Department Bureau of Insular Af fairs, has returned, from a sojourn of several months in the islands, and will tell Congress that the Republican charges are misrepresentations. Order Receives Setback. The Republican inquiry into condi tions in the Philippines has beer, di rected by Representative Miller, of Minnesota, member of the House com mittee on -insular affairs, who recently returned from an extended tour of the islands. Summarized, Representative Miller's findings are: The policy of placing Filipinos in control, instituted by Governor-General Harrison at the instance of President Wilson, has resulted in "complete gov ernmental chaos." The orderly government exising be fore the Democratic regime has been destroyed and progress in educating and improving the condition of the Filipinos has received a severe set back. The chief result of native control of the -government land administration was a graft scandal, the participants in which were protected from prosecu tion. Dlnewe Is Prevalent. Disease is prevalent in the islands as a result of the failure to enforce the sanitation laws, and the general hospital work has been disorganized. Graft, in native municipal adminis tration and robbery of the mails are common. - By wholesale pardoning Governor- General Harrison disorganized the pe.nal settlement and precipitated a IConcluded on Page 7.

TIGER TORN TO BITS BY YALE BULLDOG Great Gridiron. Classic ' Gives Surprise. OLD ELI SPIRIT WINS 13-7 Guernsey's Great Kicking Too Much for Princeton. LUCK BREAKS FOR BLUE Orange and Black Eleven Takes Lead After Shevlin's Jfen Make Two Place Kicks, but Fumbled ; Punt and Dash Turn Tide. NEW HAVEN. Conn., Nov. 13. The Tale eleven won from Princeton here this afternoon. 13 to 7. No gridiron classic of recent years has furnished greater thrills, individual playing prowess or form upset than this tri umph of the blue over the orange and black. It was a case of powerful football combination just beginning to. find it self, overwhelming by brute strength an eleven far more finished in playing tactics, but lacking the ability to cope with a Yale eleven fighting desperate ly. As a team the. Princeton machine was superior to the blue, but the smooth Tiger juggernaut was ripped apart by a bulldog squad gone berserk. Heroes Rise and Fall. Gridiron heroes rose and fell during the struggle, but none reached the heights attained by Otis L. Guernsey, whose clever field goal-kicking paved the way for a Yale victory. Twice in the second period Guernsey drove the ball through the Tiger goal posts when Captain Wilson, of the Tale team, found that , the eleven as a wnote was un equal to the task of talcing the sphe roid across the opponents' line. Both dropkicks were made from near mid- field and the performance of the Greenwich, . Conn., .player won him a place among the kicking stars of foot ball. "Pie" Way, pitcher of the blue base ball team, shared the glory of the vic tory with Guernsey, for It was his for tune to scoop up a punt fumbled by Tibbott snd race across the goal line for Tale's only touchdown of the game and the first that the Ells have made In the past two contests. Tale F-leven Hilarious. Way's run was one of the most spec tacular features of a struggle that bris tled with startling plays, and tonight Guernsey. Way. Captain Wilson and Emergency Coach Tom Shevlin are the heroes of both town and gown. For Princeton nothing remains but the memory of a season that started In a blaze of glory and closed in the bitter ness ot unexpected defeat by both Yale and Harvard. Close to 60.000 spectators thronged into the Yale football area, filling the circular tiers of seats until only one or two bare spots showed in the great gray amphitheater. The weather and the gridiron conditions were perfect. From the opening of the game it was seen that the Elis had been keyed up to the do-or-die stage of football and they assailed the Princeton warriors like wild men, making up in individual power and brilliancy what they lacked in team work and strategy, it was this fighting spirit, aided by the breaks in the luck of the game and errors by Princeton, which swung the pendulum of victory to the blue. Bine Soon Strikes Fmc, The ball was carried or kicked up and down the gridiron throughout the first quarter without decided advantage for either team, although Yale showed (Continued on Page U. Column 2.1 IN THE WEEK'S NEWS I I ' -- i Saturday's War Moves ALTHOUGH London refuses to share the ' consternation which the dis solution of the Greek Chamber has caused in France, no attempt is made to minimize the seriousness of the situa tion nor to ignore the fact that King Constantine's action has put a definite quietus on all hopes of Greek co-operation in the near future. The Greek King's suppression of the majority in the Chamber, of which M. Venizelos is the leader, is not regarded in London as a definite step toward luinuing a secret compact with the central powers. On the other hand the present situation makes it obvious that wnatever kindly intentions Greece en tertains toward the entente powers must await the new elections, which are more than a month off. for ful- niiment. The report that Lord Kitchener, Sec retary for War, has been sent on mission to King Constantlne, to whom he will offer new proposals, has re ceived no confirmation, but the coinci dence of his departure wtib the King' resolution to dissolve the Chamber manes me supposition plausible. The report also gains interest from the announcement - from several sources that an Austro-German mission has al ready arrived at Athens to formulate a definite understanding between Greece and the central powers. At the same -time the Roumanian King is said to be receiving deputa tions from both belligerents, but the position of Greece and Roumania. de spite aipiomatic pressure, is still un modified. tseyond thei German announcement of the capture of the passes and heights of Jastrebac. carrying slightly farther southward the Serbian drive of the Austro-Germans, there has been no recent ' achievement on cither side in the Serbian campaign.

Foot ball in bare feet was played here today by the teams from the Waxahachie and Fort Worth Higk Schools.

Dr. Allaync Ilensley. had died on October 21. She evidently had made a mistake in copying the Coroner's record, for when the death certificate arrived in Atlanta with the body it was discovered the man had died on October 31. This led to a questioning or the girl which other wise would not have been made. t'lrl t'onfesitei Kverrthlag. When confronted with these dis crepancies Miss Crumley broke down and confessed everything. She said she had secured the corpse and brought it home to bury, as the best way of ending an awkward situation in which she had found herself with her weddinst set for next Wednesday and elaborate arrangements made for tho event. Miss Crumley left-Atlanta about two weeks ago for New Tork, where she said she was to take in charge the little 4-year-old daughter of her fi ance, who, she said, had - been in an . orphan asylum. Her girl friends had made up a wardrobe of beautiful clothes for the child. Injury and Death Reported. After arriving at New York Miss Crumley telegraphed relatives she had been joined by an uncle and aunt of Dr: Henslcy, who brought the child. and the party planned to return home via Denver. Then a telegram from Chicago announced Dr. Henslev had been injured in a wrecli. Several hours later another message said he was dead, and asked for 200. This money was wired to her. At the Coroner's office Miss Crumlcv made the following statement: "At an inquest on the body of Alleyne Hens ley, held November 9, personally ap peared Julia Crumley Hensley, who Deing sworn according to law. denosea and says: 'My name is Julia Crumley Hensley.
