NEW HAVEN. Conn., Nov. 21.
A crimion tide of banners iwept in
triumph over Yale field In the dying
Unlit this afternoon for the men of
Harvard after (even long years, had
beaten Yale, four to nothing. A goaljdiani and her two touchdowns were
from the field, kicked by Victor II.
Kennard of Brooklyn, fresh from
the side lines and standing on Yale's
28-yard line, with the crimson line
planted on the 15-yard line, was the
winning score just a the first half
was closing. The game was a battle
of football giants. After all, granting
ing to the Harvard men their full
lhare of credit for the victory, the
aons of Eli can point to their goal
line which was not crossed by the
foe of such worthy metal. Man for
man the teams were evently match
ed. Each team's defense was strong
er than its offense and , best laid
plans of strategy well night went for
naught. The critical point of the
game came in the second half owing
to the failure of the forward pass.
Yale had been rnllying with a despe
ration born of the knowledge that
time was fleeting and bad worked the
ball to Harvard's 22-yard line when
Johnson, the quarterback, gave the
signal for the play which proved so
successful against Brown. This time
and place for its execution was in t
diagonal opposite the corner of the
field. The ball went back to Philbin,
who passed it cleanly over the on
rushing guards to Payne. But the
ball was not thrown more than five
yards from the center line and the
play being regarded as faulty under
the rules, the ball went to Harvard.
A great sight of relief went up from
the Harvard side of the field and
not five minutes later the game
ended. During the game Harvard
rushed 65 times netting 241 yards or
an average ,pf three and two-thirds
yards. Yale rushed 47 times for a
distance of 95 yards, or . nearly a
yard less on the average. Harvard
received the ball four times on
PEKIN CEREMONY
VERY IMPRESSIVE
PEKIN, Nov. 21. The ceremony
at the Imperial palace this morning
when the members of the diplomatic
corps presented their respective gov
ernment's condolences on' the death
of the Emperor and Dowager Em
press of China was one of the most
impressive ever witnessed in Pekin.
The notable feature was the presence
of every member of the Imperial
clan, as well as every official who
had bcen'reportcd dead or eliminated
from the conduct of affairs of - the
state, This was ' the answer of
the government to the rumors of
suicides and deaths current in Pekin

downs, while Yale failed to hold the
crimson for down once, simply be
cause the kick was resorted to when
two rushes had failed to give the
needed ten yards. This made an ex
change of ball frequent and lent
spice to the game. Rushing had its
compensation! for it worked up the
audience to a high pitch of expect
ancy every few minutes. In kicking
Coy lifted the ball nine times for
total of 319 yards, or an average of
351 yards. Harvard ! fullbacks kick
ed I total of 325 yards in 11 efforts,
an average of 39 2-3 yards. From
the start of the game there was over
eagerness of the players to be in the
iiwht and this brought many penal
tics. Harvard lost 120 yards on 12
penalties and Yale 55 yards on six
Neither team tried many of the re
mmrccful plays which the revised
rules have brought forth. The vie
tory of Harvard was undoubtedly
due to the quick judgment of the
Harvard coaches in sending In Ken-
nan! to try for goal though Ver
weibe, who he succeeded, had been
playing beautifully. The change in
lineup was made instantly and came
when the lineup was on Yale a 12'
yard line. In an instant afterward
Kennard at fullback had received the
ball and applying his toe to it, the
goal was made. Banked along the
gridiron was the largest crowd ever
seen here, but the cheering and sing
ing came only during momentary
lulls. In this respect the game
stands out unique among many that
have been playing here.

the suggestion of Mr. Harriman and
that Mr. Gould Is in Wisconsin Cen

representative.
Though Mr. Harriman has not yet
taken any official position in the

that MJr, Gould is closely following
his suggestions in the handling of the

NO PREDICTION MADE
The President Elect Would Make
no Statement For Publica

TAFT MADE SOME PROMISES
Speaker Has Great Power in Re
pressing Legislation and if Repres
sive Power Waa Used There Would
ba But One Course For President
HOT SPRINGS, Va., Nov. 21.-
President-elect Taft and Representa
tive Burton of Ohio had another ex
tended conference today at which
the Speakership question was dis
cussed as well as "Nearly everything
else,' as Taft afterwards put it.
After the conference Fuller gave
out a statement in which he stated
he was not assuming to speak for
Taft but only to express what seems
to Burton to be a correct view of the
situation. Burton says the President
elect made certain promises before
election, one of these for tariff re
vision. No doubt, Burton goes on
to say, Taft would oppose Cannon
very reluctantly, but .as the head of
his party, as well as President-elect
of the United States, he is bound to
meet the expectations of the people
and to insist upon observance to par
ty pledges. Burton goes on to say
that the" speaker has great power in
repressing legislation and if this re
pressive influence should stand in the
way there would be but one course
for the President-elect to pursue and
that is to exert his influence against
obstruction. Concluding Burton says:
"It is to be hoped there will be
such harmony and concert of action
between the President-elect and
Speaker Cannon that the contest
will be avoided."
Judge Taft would make no state
ment for publication on the subject.
"Those who have talked with him
say his determination "To prevent
obstruction," is most vigorous. Bur-;
ton wished to make no prediction as'
to the outcome of this determina-j
tion would be, saying the whole sit
uation as he saw it was contained in
his statement. Regarding the possi
bility of his becoming a candidate for
speaker Burton said he was None
the less a candidate for Senator be
cause cf his visit here."

curious request is made of the inter
state commerce commission in the

dissenting vote. Charles Jeski of
Milwaukee, representing the Wiscon
sin State Federation of Labor, and a
Socialist, insisted that his vote should
be registered against Mr. Gompers,
Building trades disputes were the
first matters taken up in the conven
tion today The committee on build
ing trades, .to which all resolutions
relating to this subject were refer;
red, reported, and in each case rec
ommended these disputes be refer

ern Woodmen, asking them to em
ploy onion instead of nonunion men
in the construction of their home at
Colorado Springs.
At the close of the report of the
committee on building trades Vice-
President James Duncan moved that,
inasmuch as the charter gave it no
permission to issue state charters,
the council be instructed to live up
to its charter. This was carried af
ter considerable discussion by a vote
of 91 to 41.
At this point Daniel J. Keefe, of
the Longshoremen, arose to an
nounce the withdrawal of his candi
dacy for re-election to the executive
committee, giving his reasons for his
action.
Mr. Keefe stated he had within
the last 24 hours announced his in
tention not to be a member of the
Executive Council owing to the rec
ommendation of the committee of
the President's report. He said he
had voted the Republican ticket for
35 years, and would continue to do so
until his conscience dictated other
wise. "The relations between President
Gompers, the executive council and
myself," he said, "are as amicable as
ever, We agree on the economic
movement and will work together to
advance the movement. If at any
time'I can be of service to the presi
dent or the executive committee or
any organization in this convention,
my services will be forthcoming."

Typographical Union, was called to
the chair, and the nominations for
president called for. President Gom
pers was placed in nomination to
succeed himself by Delegate John F.

ters, was re-elected first vice-president
without opposition.
To the nomination of John Mit
chell for second vice-president, A. B.
Grant, of the Metal Polishers' Union
of Cincinnati, a Socialist, objected on
the ground that Mr. Mitchell is a
member of the Civic Federation.
President Gompers ruled that any
member of the Federation who was
in good standing was eligible to elec
tion to any office in the Federation.
Mr. Mitchell then was elected by
acclamation. ,

re-elected, including William D. Hu-
ber, sixth vice-president, and Joseph
Valentine, seventh " vice-presidenr,

Monday until Dec' 19, J. Pierpont
Morgan s collection of original man
uscripts of great literary works will

Kent's Endymion and Thackeray's
Vanity Fair. The exhibit begins chro
nologically with the manuscripts of

BODY OF CHILD FOUND IN
RIVER RAILROAD WORK
ER IS BEATEN.
WALLACE, Idaho, Nov. 21.-The
body of a young child was found in
the river here today with a piece of
string tied about the body showing
that it had been thrown into the
water and sunk by means of a rock.
The police are investigating.
Another railroad worker was dis
covered today near Mullan with the
top of his head crushed in. Beside
the man laid a bloody hammer. It is
evident that the assault was com
mitted for purposes of robbery as
every paper which might have led to
the identification of the man had
been removed. For a few moments
this afternoon the man regained
consciousness and stated that he had
been struck by a rock but lapsed
into unconsciousness again before
giving any definite information as to
his assailant. He is not expected to
live. .

PORTLAND, Nov. 21.-On a field
that resembled a huge puddle ia a
muddy street, the University of Ore
gon football team won the contest
from the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege today by a score of 8 to 0. It
was a kicking game throughout and
it was Captain Moullen's superiority
in this branch of the game that en
abled the University boys to carry
off the honors. All the scoring was
in' the first half and was on place
kicks. MouIIen made his first try
from the collegians 35-yard line after
the ball bad been in play about ten
minutes. His second effort was a
failure, the ball going out of
bounds, and the third effort was from
the Agriculturist's 42-yard line, and
though the kick was from a bad posi
tion, Moullen shot the ball between
the posts with the directness of a
cannon. The second half was almost
a succession of one punt after an
other. The University tried several
times to repeat their successes of the
first half, but to no avail. Twice the
Agriculturists essayed the forward
pass but each was a dismal failure
and resulted in a loss of yardage. The
attendance at today's game was pos
sibly the greatest at any football
game ever played in the ; Pacific
Northwest. The day was most un-
propitious, ram falling throughout
the contest, drenching everything1
except the ardor of the players and
enthusiasm of the spectators. There
were in the neighborhood of 10,000
people present. The receipts will
approximate $10,000 which after the
expenses are deducted will be divid
ed equally between the contesting
teams.-, '

WRECKED
Nothing can be learned here tend

men state that the only vessel on the
register whose name has the initials
"J. D. C." is a schooner which is now
on the Atlantic. Lijjhtkeepcr Day
kin states he saw .no vessels in di
trees nor heard any. Later reports
state that a schooner was off there
yesterday, sailing inward and there
was a schooner becalmed too for a
time off Carmach today but she
got off with a breeze and sailed
away. That wreckage indicates that
some disaster . has happened is the
general opinion, but none can guess
the identity of the victim.
