The sky was overcast but tho turf was dry and fast. Princeton kicked out. In threo plays Yale had a first down at Princeton's 20 yard line, largely because of a twelve yard tackle smash by Jordan.

Had her claim been allowed, Madame Olcvois would bavo bocomo sole heir to the estate of Dcs- cnmpH, appraised at about $70,000. Following the disappearance ot Descamps parts of n human body were found in various sections of tho city and police believed they were the remains of Descamps. though this has never been established. Judge Tazwell stated that no li cense had been Issued in Washington for the alleged marriage ceremony which Madame Orcvols said had been performed in that state and that the petitioner's own testimony, which the Judge characterized as "too obscure" to sustain, the granting of the petition was to the effect that only one wit ness was present.

Argues Plans Want North and South Traffic On East and West Basis Secondary Gateways Wiped Out Roads Give Little In formative Aid. WASHINGTON. Nov. IS. Con cotldution of railroads in the west ought to result in the creation of four great systems, each having terminal.- on the Pacific and gulf coasts and at Chicago or St. Louis, President Hale lloldin of tho Hurlington lines de clined today at tho inter-stato com merce commission's healing on sug gested mergers. He opposed tenta tive plans of the commission for von solidation of tho northwest roads In two systems In such a manner as to separate his road and tho Northern Pacific from tho Oreat Northern. Suggesting that tho commission consider the advisability of even larger combinations of railroads stretching throughout the west, how ever, Mr. Holden said the ro-arrangc-nient should maintain north nnd south traffic routes ns well as ti'ana-contl-nenial east and west routes through the west. "If any such cost and west plan of consolidation interferes with nrth and south movement will not an ar ticulation of roads running north nnd south result in shutting off business nt the present free Junction points, really reducing materially tho amount of railway operation at points like Council 1 Huffs, Kansas City, Iluffalo and the east?" asked Professor W. 55. Uiplcy, author of the commission's tentative plan. "Perhaps so; my point Is that the commission either has not got far enough or bus gone too far," Mr. Hot den responded. "If you combine the trans-continental Hues In the north nnd give each one a line to tho southwest. there will be no expectation of a great amount of interchanging ot traffic between roads. My conclusion is that the trans-continental lines In tho north must have a lino through to the southwest or nn open gateway." Mr. Iloldcn agreed with Professor Ripley that the consolidation would generally tend to wipe out business at secondary gateways throughout , the west. "iVhy don't tho western lines help us to estimate Just what situation would be precipitated?" Professor Itlpiey asked. . "Wo lire breaking our hearts in the commission trying to put ( through a voluntary consolidation plan that will efrect tno least disrup tion to present established conditions and If you who have tho fund of in formation would como to us Instead of leaving us to set up consolidation proposals In necessarily amewhat nca- i domic fashion, it would help." Attempts had been made, the Bur ( lington president ndded, to get the J western roads to a Joint consideration ! of consolidation plans. Asked whether j he thought southern lines should be extended to Seattle in case tho con , solidution put northern lines tnto the I Gulf of Mexico ports, he said his aug i gestlon would require Hint all four of , the, great consolidations in tho west , should have reasonable access to both regions.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. IS. (By Associated Press.) Tho sultan's wives and ladies of tho harem are over whelmed with grief and dismay over tho flight of the sultan. They did not Know he was going. Tho sultan's youngest wife, whom ho married only nine weeks ago and who is the 22 year old daughter of his gardener, became hysterical when the sultan's flight was confirmed nnd tho seven faithful eunuchs who had acted as personal bodyguards to the Moslem ruler for the last five years, gavo themselves up to despair, fearing tho sultan had been kidnaped by tho Kern alists. Tho other eunuchs and the ladies of the palace, numbering 300, wopt bitterly and soon the whole pal ace was in a state of commotion. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18. (By Associated Press). The Turkish na tionalists consider that Sultan Moham med VI by his flight has surrendered tho caliphate, according to Rnfet Piislm, Kemallst governor of Constan tinople. "According to the Moslem law," he told tho Associated Press, "when the sultan leaves Turkish soil nnd enters foreign territory he places hlmsolC under Christian protection and there by loses tho caliphate, censing to re tain any authority over th'o Moslems." "Great Britain's connivance In the escape," ho added, "Is flagrant Inter ference in Turkey's internal affairs." Rafct was much ngitutcd. He spent several hours following the escape In frantically telephoning Angora for In structions and taking precautions against the flight of the Biiltnn's cab inet and other high personages wunted by the nationalists. The Sultan left his palace by the back door, known as the "Malta Gate" which heretofore has always been scaled. The British for sonie time had been nwaro of his anxiety and fear for his personal safety and wero pre pared to remove him when he said the word. They explained, however, that the request for safe conduct must come from him, as they could not be placed in the false position of having kidnaped him. They also pointed out that he must go a reasonable distance from the pal ace as It was inexpedient to introduce British . guards into the grounds be cause of the danger of conflict wltu the Kemallst soldiery there. The sulbin ngreed to all these conditions. Only three persons In the palace knew of the intended flight, namely the court chamberlain, the sultan's personal physician and his bandmas ter. These wero the only palace offic ials he trusted and he even kept his wives in tho dark as to his plans. The flight was so carefully Arranged that the nationalist officers and sol diers stationed In the palace grounds did not learn of ititntil shortly before the Selnmllk, or prayer ceremony at noon. In which the sultan waB to have participated. All pedestrian nnd vehicle traffic In the neighborhood of the -palace was then stopped nnd tho palace was sur rounded by nationalist and gendar morle.
