the Germans In Champagne.
The French War Office In an official

It wns along tho road north of Soualn
that tho Germans launched tho most
violent of their attacks ngalnst the
French salient, which extends danger
ously close to tho Bascncourt-Challcr-nge
Hallway, north of Tahurc.
The text of the communique follows:
"Thero was reported during tho night
only a, rather Intense bombardment by
the enemy's artillery to tho north of the
Ecarpe nnd In Champagno on our sec
ondary front In the region of Soualn.
Our batteries replied very effectively.
"Late advices confirm earlier reports
that tho violent counter-attacks hurled
by tho Germans In tho course of tho last
few days against tho Kngllsh nnd French
fronts, before Loos nnd to the north
thereof, ended only In a serious and cost
ly check. Tho principal assault was mado
by force of from threo to four divisions
t60.000 to 80,000 men).
"They were completely repulsed and
dispersed.
"The number of bodies left by the
enemy on the ground before the Allies'

"AMERICA FIRST,"
PRESIDENT'S MOTTO
Daughters of Revolution Told
of Patriotic Mission of
Women
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. - "America
first"
President "Wilson this afternoon
launched this slogan In a speech before
tho Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, celebrating tho 23th anniversary of
tho organization's founding. He declared
himself In favor of ostracizing, through
publlo opllnon, those who use the might
of the United States to aid tho alms of
another country.
Mrs. Norman Gait, the President's
fiancee, was present and she blushed
when he said, after calling on the wo
men to help preserve American neutrality:
"You see, I have only recently come un
der the Influence to which I am now ap
pealing." In the political conditions which are
near at hand, he said, he looked to see
every man called upon to state Just
where he stands.
"Is It America first, or Is It not?" he
asked.
"I am In a hurry for an opportunity
to have this line-up," he said. "Let those
who are for America first and all the time
be placed on one side, and those for any
one else be placed on the other side."
He predicted that In the very near fu
ture It. would be necessary In a political
campaign to challenge the loyalty and
liatrlotlsm of men running for office.
WIFE WINS VERDICT IN
"PURITY PACT" CASE
Superior Court Decides in
Favor of Mrs. Cunningham
in Famous Suit
The famous Cunningham "purity pact"
divorce case was decided In favor of
Mrs. Ireno D, Cunningham In tho Su
perior Court today. The master to whom
the case had been referred reported in
favor of a decree of divorce for the hus
bnnd, Clement 'R. H, Cunningham, on tho
ground of desertion and cruel and bar
barous treatment, and Court of Common
Pleas No. 3 at first approved tho master's
findings, but Inter, when the case was ar
gued beforo tho court in banc ex-Judgo
Gordon convinced the court that It had
been mistaken and the husband was re
fused a decree.
In affirming tho lower court's decision
Judgo Head declared this to be "a most
remarkable nnd unusual case " Before
the Cunninghams were married they en
tered Into a "purity pact," which subse
quently the husband attempted to break.
ft'or 12 years they lived together and then
the husband brought suit for divorce.
The court said that the term "deser
tion" as used by tho husband evidently
was not meant to bo understood as deser
tion In the ordinary sense. "It Is a species
of fictitious or constructive desertion "
The court said that the decision depended
on the answer to two questions: Had the
husband Bhown that his wife had wil
fully and maliciously deserted him for
the statutory period before the filing of
his libel T and, Had he established that
she had subjected him to cruel and bar
barous treatment within the meaning of
the statuto? The husband had proved
neither of the contentions, the court
found.

RED SOX CONQUER ALEXANDER,
HANDING PHILS 2-i SETBACK
Continued from l'ase One
one. Ho fchroly touched the1 fifth pitch, rolling a grounder along ho first
base lne.
Aloxnnder picked It tip, nnd Just as It wns about to roll foul tagged
out Hoby on tho baso line. Alex got himself Into n holo pitching to Lewi,
nnd on the third pltoh Duff smashed n clean single past flilrd base, tho lied
Sox's first lilt. Alex hooked over n strike on Gardner, then wasted n pitch,
thinking a hit-and-run play would be tried, On tho next bnll pitched, Lewis
mado a dash for second, but a perfect throw Troni Hums to Bancroft easily
retired him. It was a strike Mex pltohcd one at Gardner's bond, nnd on tho
next pitch tho lied Sox third baseman lifted a high fly to Whltted. No
runs, one lilt, no errors.
THIRD INNING
The count was two and one on Hums when ho soaked a beautiful single
to right centre, Harry making a desperate stab ns the bnll passed over his
head, but falling to touch 11. The first pitch to Alexander wis wide, nnd his
attempt to bunt the next one resulted In a foul. The third pitch vns close.
Alex bunted tho next m swiftly toward third; Gardner thiew quickly to
Hozlltzcll who mado a bad rtuff, and Alex was safe at first.
Third base was unrovored, but Hums had slid to second and could not take
advantage of It. Stock sacrificed perfectly, Gardner throwing to Harry, who
covered first. The Boston Infield enmo in, but Hrnncroft crashed tho first bnll
pitched for a beautiful single to centre, Hums scoring. Dngey, couching at third,
wisely stopped Alexander ns Speaker cut lose a throw to the phitc.
Hancroft kept on running to second. With tho Infield still In close, Paskcrt
bit tho second ball pitched for a high lly to short right contte. It looked safe,
but Jnck Harry mndo a nndcrrul running catch. Alex held third. Cravnth
missed his swing at a curve, let a fast high one drift past, then caught hold
of one and chased Le-ls within ten feet of the deep, left-Meld fence, where he
mado n lino catch. At the Phillies' home park it would have Innded high up
In the blouchers for a home run, putting tho game on Ice, One run, two hits,
one error.
It was ono and one on Harry when ho smashed a hot liner to Paskert.
Cnrrignn let a bad one go by, then fouled ono agntnst tho grandstand, and was
fooled by a curve. Tho next one was a ball, and, after another foul, two nioro
wldo ones failed to tempt him and he drew the first base on balls of tho game.
Leonard fouled one, then let a bad ono drift by. Alex's next was also bnd, but
Leonard never saw his next one as It cut the heart of tho plate.
Whltted mado a great attempt to catch a long foul on tho next ball
pitched, hut barely go his hands on tho ball. It wns not counted an error.
Leonard then fouled another long ono down Whltted's way far out of his
reach. Ills fourth foul hit the grandstand In back of the plate. Then ho
struck out on a curve Inside. Hooper left a strike get across the outsldo
corner; then left two bad ones drift by bcfoio ho lilt a high lly, which was
snlllng straight down Into Bancroft's hands when Stock Interposed his own
glovo and caught It. No runs, no hits, no errors.
FOURTH INNING
Leonard's first to Luderus were two balls. The thltd was over, and
tho fourth ho fouled to tho grandstand. Carrlgnn held a fayl tip, making
Luderus tho second consecutive strike-out. Leonard cut two curves to
Whltted, but both were bnd. Then Whltted fouled oft one beforo cracking
a liner straight at Hooper. Nlehoff hoisted a high fly to Scott after ono
ball had been called on him. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Scott's eye was a little better, nnd ho refused to aim at two bad ones
beforo lifting a fly to Paskert. Speaker again smashed the first ball pitched,
this time very successfully. His drive shot out along the right-field foul line
all tho way to the bleacher wall and ho enslly reached third. Hobby looked
at a bad one, then looked very bad as ho missed his swing at a curve.
He fouled the next one, then hit a line drive to Paskert in deep centre.
Speaker could havo walked home after tho catch, for Paskert mado no attempt
to throw to the plate. Paskert capured Lewis' high lly on tho first ball pitched
after a hard run. One run, ono hit, no errors.
FIFTH INNING
Burns dlsrcgaided three bad balls. Leonard cut the Inside corner twice;
then he speared Burns' grounder with his gloved hand and threw him out
at first. Leonard hooked a strike over on Alexander, then stopped Alex's
grounder and threw him out also, a play that required no more effort
than the play on Burns.
Stock's bat slipped from his hand as he fouled off the first one, another
foul made It two strikes, one bad ball got by. Then Stock lilt a foul down the
lef,t field line. Leonard's fifth was way outside, a high pitch put Leonard in
a hole. Stock hit a liner to right centre on which the Boston outfield's sUDCrlor-
Ity was again In evidence, Hooper dashing into Speaker's territory when
Speaker again lost the ball In the sun. It was a great catch. No runs. No
hits, no errors.
Alexander did not find the plate until three balls were called on Gardner;
then ho cut two strikes over and Gardner hit one high In the air to Paskert
in centre. Bnrry fouled one over the grandstand, then hit a liner to left that
looked good for several bases. "Whltted showed that tho Phillies also had an
outfield by going back and landing It. Carrlgan let a strike get by, then gave
Paskert his seventh fly in five Innings. No runs, no hits, no errors.
SIXTH INNING
Bancroft Ignored a bad ball, then made tho mistake of Ignoring a good one.
A foul to the Phillies' bench put him
Carrlgan raced out past tho pitchers'
on Paskert when ho gave Barry the easiest grounder of the series, Jack handled
it perfectly. Gavvy smashed one to Gardner, which he handled perfectly and
threw him out at first. No runs, no hits, no errors.
The Phillies made a kick when O'Loughlin called Alexander's first pitch
to Leonard a ball. There was no doubt about the next one, for Leonard swung
and missed It by an Inch. Alex pitched another one outside, then Leonard
missed two more big swings. Alex's first to Hooper was outside, but Hoop hit
the second along the ground to Luderus. Alexander covered tho bag and handled
Luderus' toss perfectly, which was the first putout at first base made by the
Phillies, and was the second ball put along the ground. With the count one
and one, Scott pushed up a foul that was easy for Burns. No runs, no hits,
no errors.
SEVENTH INNING
Luderus was again pie for Leonard and took three of the healthiest swings
seen on any ball field, missing every time. With a strike called on him Whltted
poked a grounder at Scott and wns out ut first. Nlehoft was also helpless
before Leonard and after a strike had been called on him ho made two vicious
swings, hitting nothing except thin nlr each time. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Tris tho mighty let n ball go by, then put himself In a holo with two
fouls, but he smashed the next ono over Bancroft's head for a single. Phila
delphia's outlook was dark, but a fine play by Burns cleared tho atmosphere.
After a ball had been called, Hoblltzcl tried to bunt the ball, but it hit the
ground in front of tho plate and Burns dove for it, speared Jt with ono
hand and threw to Bancroft nt second.
Bancroft shot tho ball to first for a double play. Hoblltzcll never moved
out of his tracks nt the plate, claiming a foul, but Burns was plainly on fair
territory when he touched the ball, und O'Loughlin called it fair. With the
count one and one, Lewis scratched a grounder down the third-base line. Stock
was playing deep, and, although ho mnde a great try, his throw did not quite
beat Lewis to first.
The Sox tried the hit and run, and as Gardner crashed tho bal with Lewis
on the dead run to second the fate of tho game rested with Cravath as he
raced back to get under a long drive. No runs, two hits, no errors.
EIGHTH INNING
Burns gave Speaker un easy catch after having a ball called. Alexander
struck out on threo pitched balls, the first being called, the 'Second a fpul tip
nnd the third a big swing, which he missed. Stock hit tho first ball and gave
Speaker another fly. No runs, no hits, no errors,
A called ball and a foul were on Barry's slate beforo ho popped up a
a weak fly to Bancroft. A big swing and a foul put Carrlgan in a hole. He
let a bad one go by, then struck out on a curve. Leonard hit the first ball,
and Bancroft clutched his lino drlvo a couple of Inches ,off the ground. No
runs, no hits, no errors.
NINTH INNING
Bancroft tried to kill tho first ball but it was bud, and he fouled It off
past first. Then he cracked one at Gardner and was out at first. With one
ball called, Paskcrt lifted a fly in front of tho plate which Carrlgan almost,
but not quite, muffed. A curve and a fast one resulted as a strike and a ball
on Cravath. Then Gavvy rolled a slow one to Gardner for the third out.
No runs, no hits, no errors.
Hooper got into a hole on a curve ball called strike and a foul. He hit
another foul, then gave the lied Sox a start with a line single to right, The
first to Scott was wide. Then he bunted a foul. Another high one made it two
balls and one strike. Another foul bunt made It two And two.
Scott did the unexpected by bunting on his third strike. The ball shot
past Alexander and Nlehoff made a wonderful play, racing in and throwing
Scott out at first. Hooper advanced to second. Burns stood beyond the out
sldo corner of the jjlate and caught the four intentional balls which put
Speaker on first. Alex's first pitch to Hobby was wide, the second curved
across the outside corner for a strike; two more wide ones made It three and
one. J
Hoblitzell sacrificed, Nlehoff to Ludy, and Lewis shot across a clean single,
scoring Hooper with the winning run. One run, two hits, no errors.

AT SECOND DISASTER
Continued from l'nce One
given the Phillies two runs, and there Is
hardly a doubt that with such a lend as
that and Alexander In the box, the lied
Sox hopes would havo been so Utterly
ciushed that they would have made but
a feeble resistance.
As It turned out, things might have been
different If Speaker had been allowed o
hit In the ninth Inning Instead of being
purposely passed, but that Is n mere sec
ond Kile, as Trls might have batted In
the winning run.
Forty-seven thousand clamoring fans
Jammed around the entrances and turn-
i stiles at 9 o'clock this morning, waiting
J for tho public sale of tickets, which was
announced to take place at tuat nour.
When these frenzied followers had fought
their way to tho ticket windows and pur
chased the precious pasteboards, they Im
mediately made a raid on tho entranco
gates, but they were not opened until 11:30.
Thirty minutes nfter the turnstiles began
to click ort the flow of fans the big stand
east of the left-field was wns crowded to
capacity. At the tame tlmo the little
bandbox bleacher section In right field
was thronged with those lucky enough
to puichnso M-cent scats.
A temporary fence wis creeled, extend
ing from this bleaihcr stand to the wall
In deep right centre. In the spate behind
this fence the fans paying nn admission
of M cents were nllowed to stand; other
wise there wns not a spectntor on tho
plnylng surface Although tho day was
fairly warm and the sky cloudless, thoso
who held rcsorxed seat tickets were slow
In taking their places in tho big sweep
of grandstand, which forms an amphi
theatre from the right-field foul lino to
the left.
At'l2.30 o'clock Bill Carngnn's lied Sox
ramo on the field for practice. Mays nntl
Shore did the pitching during this pre
liminary work. Meanwhile, gaily gowned
women began to trickle through the gates
and tnke their places In the reserve scat
section and boxes.
MOHAN GUTS WELCOME.
They were accompanied by male
rooters, who were bedecked with red
badges ntid Boston pennants. At 12:W,
the Phillies, led by Pat Mornn, emerged
from their dugout. The friends of Pat In
Boston nnd thoso of the nearby Massa
chusetts town rose and gave the Phllly
lender a rousing welcome. As soon as
the spectators spotted Alexander they
gave him a no less hearty welcome to
the cultivated city. Kvon the dyed-ln-the-wool
Red Sox rooters were generous In
their applause of tho player who had
outpltchcd oumr Shore nnd beaten their
Idols In the first game nt Philadelphia.
A regiment of photographers from all
largo cities In the country and motion
picture men representing the leading film
companies began their photographic at
tack on the contenders for the world's
series championship. An hour before tho
time set for the beginning of the gamo
droves of speculators thronged the thor
oughfare between Commonwealth avenue
and Braves Field. They were offering
and getting $T for $3 sets. The J3 tickets
were being sold for 123 and J2 seats for
SIS a set.
It Is believed by those who have seen
the past 10 years' world's series games
that there wns never so great a demand
for tickets as there was In Boston this
morning Kvcry tialn running special
sections from the neighboring towns and
cities was packed with baseball bugs who
either had tickets or hoped to get them.
SlTFFRAGISTS HONOR SPEAKER
Before the game began Trls Speaker
was presented with a $10 goldplece by
the Mnssachusetts Women's Suffrage As
sociation. The Red Sox star wns given
the money at a memento for obtaining
the first run for Boston in the series.
The citizens of Fltchburg, who present
ed Moran with a 10-foot floral horseshoe
on September 29, the day the Phillies
won the pennnnt, ngaln honoied their
fellow-townsmnn with a similar gift.
Just 20 minutes before 2 o'clock the
gong rang nnd the Phillies went out for
fielding practice, while their compara
tively few followers In the stand gavo
them a lusty and prolonged cheer. Pat
Mornn shot tho wlilto ball around the
dinmond. The Inflelders hnndled It with
machine lightning rapidity.
CHEKR ENDS IN GROAN.
Pat Moran was stationed on the first
base line nna Oscar Dugey at third. When
Stock slammed a drive straight to Speaker
the Boston fans shouted their npproval,
but their cries of delight suddenly ceased
when Trls. blinded by the sun, stepped
back, dodging the ball, and permitted the
Phllly thtrdsacker to get a two-base hit.
The Phllly rooters, scattered through
out the stands, cheered wildly when
Stock reached second base and continued
their frenzied rooting when Bancroft
neatly sacilficed. Leonard appeared nerv
ous when Paskert camo up, getting three
balls before a strike was registered.
A moment later tho lloston fans went
wild when Gardner captured Paskert's
foul In front of his own dugout. The
Phllly clan gave Cravath a fine ovation
when ho stepped to the plate.
The Bosion contingent shouted Its ap
proval when Cravath missed the third
strike. When Hooper raised a long fly
to right field Boston cheered; that ceased
suddenly when Cravnth made nn easy
catch. Scott got a cheer when he went

).! ofTnrt was a line drive to Paskert
When the second Inning began, tho
Boston rooters held their brenth when
tho hard-hitting Luderus stepped Into
tho batters' box Ludy fanned, and the
Red Sox rooters cheered. After Whltted
nnd Nlehoff had gone out on easy flies
to tho Infield, tho occupants of the boxes
near tho Red Sox dugout compelled
Leonard to doff his enp several times.
As the Inning ended on Gnrdnofa fly
to the outfield, tho Phllndelphlans pres
ent gave Alexander an ovation.
The Quaker City rooters npplauded ns
Alexander came to the plate In the third
Inning nfter Burns hnd singled over
Harry's hend. These same fans became
frantic when Alexander wns safe at first
on Hoblltzell's muff nnd Burns had
reached second with not a batter out,
BURNS OVER PLATE
Hancroft shot a single over second,
which scored Eddie Burns with the first
run of the game. Tho Boston rooters
had their Inning when Jnck Hnrrj cnught
I'ntkert's fly In right ccntro Held nnd
held Alexander nt third. This seemed
to give the local followers a feeling of
confidence, In splto of tho fact that Cra

up with two men on bases, but when
DufTy I.ewl9 mnde a spectnculnr running
cntch of his ililvo nnd prevented further
disaster, even the strnlns of the band
were drowned In the Irenzlcd npplnuso
for tho clever left fielder.
Jnck Barry, who had temporarily saved
the day for the Red Sox, wns given a
big reception when he went to the but to
start the third inning, but ho was unable
to do more than shoot n hot liner to
Paskeit
OVATION FOR CARR1GAN.
Mnnngcr Carrlgan's first appearance nt
tho bat In tho series wns a signal for
another prolonged demonstration by the
Royal Rooters. Their npplause continued
when Alexnnder gavo the Red Sox leader
a base on balls.
Leonnid received a big cheer from the
bleachers when he struck Luderus out
for tho second time. Probably tho most
nctlvo figure within tho Inclosuro nt this
time wns Manager Pat Moran. Standing
In the first base conchcrs' box ho clapped
his hnnds nnd danced, giving encourage
ment to every hitter thnt enme to the
plnte.
His mind wns even moie active than
his body, for he wns directing each play
nnd telling tho hitters what to do at tho
bat. His efforts were fruitless, however,
In the fourth Inning, for after Luderus
had fanned, AV'hltted nnd Nlehoff went
out on lly bnlK
Tho Boston fans breathed a sigh of re
lief after this and began to cheer Scott
as he came up. but his only response
was a fly to Paskert. A moment later,
however, tho spectators gave the great
est demonstration offered, making the at
mosphcie fairly tremble with the din of
their shouts and hand clapping when Tils
Speaker drove the bnll down the right
field foul line for three bases, putting a
different complexion on the game. Again
the crowd burst into a frenzy when Hob
by drove deep to Paskert and Speaker
senmpored ncross tho plate on tho sacri
fice with n tying run.
Lconnrd stopped Burns' hard drive with
one hnnd nnd followed that by tossing
out Alexander. The crowd was aghast
with fonr when Speaker stepped out of
the way of Stock's drive, as he was the
second time blinded by the nun, but
their fear changed to hope and Joy when
Hooper raced ncross the field and caught
tho ball In front of Trls. Through the
Red Sox's half of the fifth Inning Alex
ander controlled the situation, retiring
Gardner, Barry and Carrlgan on outfield
files.
The Phllly fans ngaln came to the fore
when Bancroft, who hpd driven In the
Phillies' run In the third, came to the
bat. They cheered him long and loud,
but his response was only a weak flv
to the Infield. When Paskert and Cravath
went out on ensy rollers Boston fans
cheered Leonard.
Leonard died on strikes. Alex raced
across to first nnd took LuderuB' throw
that retired Hooper. Scott fouled to
Burns.
Following the Phllly custom, the Fltch
burg delegation stood up nt the beginning
of the seventh, waving their blue banners
while their private bnnd played "Where
the River Shnnnon Flows." They con
tinued their demonstration until Luderus
hnd struck out for the third successive
time. Boston fans gave Leonard as great
an ovntlon In the seventh Inning na they
hnd given Speaker on his three-base
drive when the crafty southpaw fnnned
Luderus and Nlehoff nnd retired Whltted
on n grounder.
Trls Speaker brought the crowd to Its
feet when ho made hlH second hit, a hot
single to left field. The fans' hopes fell
when Speaker and Hoblitzell were dou
bled up on tho latter's attempted sac
rifice. When Lewi beat out a slow roller, hli
second lilt of the game, ho was given a
round of npplause. Cravnth raced back
In right field, taking Gardner's fly for
the third out. To change the luck, Pat
Moran took his station at third base at
the beginning of tho eighth,
Alexnnder was applauded henrtlly.
Bnncroft grimly took his position at the
bat In the beginning of the ninth. lie
smashed ono down at Gardner, but was
thrown out nnd Red Soxdom wns again
relieved. A constant buzz was heard from
tho Phillies' dugout when Paskert went
up, but he died on a fly In front of the
plate and the Boston bleachers cheered
Leonard to the echo. As Cravath wns
thrown out two bands began playing In
different sections of the stqnd, tho root
ers rose nnd Hnirv Hooper was applauded
when ho strolled to the plate.

NEARING TOO OFTEN
MISUNDERSTOOD TO
HOLD JOB, SAYS BANKER
Efllnglinm B. Morris Offers
Resolution Explnining U.
of P. Trustees
Attitude
STUDENTS AWAIT RESULT
The trustees of tho University of I'enn
sjlvanla met this afternoon nnd adopted
two resolutions In relation to the Near
Ing case, This was the first meeting
of tho board since It rerused to renew
the' contract of tho joung assistant pro
fessor of economics as a teacher In the
Wharton School.
First they passed, a resolutlonn sub
mitted by Whurton Barkor, committing
the University to tho doctrine of free
speech. This pronunclamento, which the
most radical member of the board evi
dently had set great store by, did not
meet with opposition It was couched
In general enough terms to receive n
unanimous vote.
Then came tho Important action of the
ilny. This wns the unanimous vote ap
proving the resolution of Effingham B.
Morris, president of tho Glrard Trust
Company The banker had written that
Doctor Nearhig whs competent to rise to
tho status of professor of economics ns
far ns his academic ability was con
cerned. But, he said, Nearlng had been
"so frequently misunderstood" that ho
was Ineligible to continue his career as
a teacher in the University.
Otherwise, said the resolution, thcro
wns no restriction nnd never would be,
on free speech or opinion. "When ' In
dividual opinions are .expressed In tho
proper manner upon proper occasions and
with a proper respect for the dignity
of their relationship to the University
and tesponslblllty to the Institution, such
utterances aro welcomed as Indicating
progtesslve growth, no matter how diver
gent they may be from current and gen
et nl beliefs."
The trustees met at 3:30 o'clock In the
trophy room, on the second floor of
Houston Hall, where all tho silver cups
and footballs and baseballs Pennsylvania
prowess has won on track, gridiron and
diamond are displayed. Persons who
strolled up there to view beforehand tho
scene of the meeting were ordered awaji
from the door. This Is tho first time that
the trustees have ever met with any
semblance of a guard In evidence.
There seemed to bo no question In the
minds of the younger members of the
fnculty nnd most of the students at the
big Institution today said that this was
to be the most Important meeting of the
trustees slnco a majority of tho present
board of 24 men took office. What would
the "House of Lords" do? For that was
the phrase coined at Penn today for the
trustees, nnd It swept about the campus
and caught on like a new song.
It was the "House of Commons," that
Is, the fnculty, against the "absolute
veto" of the trustee "House of Lords,"
nnd the radicals were predicting freely
that the end of the Nearlng caBe would
see the power of the "Lords" to reverse
decisions of the fnculty In regnrd to the
latter's administration of faculty matters
go the same way that the power of the
upper house of Parliament to reverse the
decisions of tho lower house, has gone.
While the students have divided Into
camps and have strong feelings for and
agutnst Nearlng, the "unavoidable" cause
of the contest. In Dr. J. William White's
phrase, they seemed today to feel the
futility of anything they might say or
do to affect the issue.
WOMAN DESCRIBES HOW
SHE KILLED HER HUSBAND
Mrs. Burke's Dramatic Narrative in
Her Trial for Murder
MEDIA, Pa., Oct. ll.-Mrs. Elizabeth
Burke, of Chester, was placed on trial
for her life here today for tho killing of
her hUBband, John F, Burke, at their
home on June 17, and all evidence In the
case has been token.
The evidence of the prosecution and the
defense was practically the same. It was
testified that Burke, who was employed
as a railroad track foreman, had returned
home from work and was met by a
farmer who said that one of the Burke
boys had taken the lock from his stable,
Burke thereupon attacked his wife,
choked her and knocked her down. The
farmer and Tony Foltz, a brother-in-law
of Mrs. Burke, Interfered and were both
knocked down, but, In tho meantime, Mrs.
Burke got away and ran upstairs and got
a gun with which she shot Burke.
She testtled In her own behalf that she
did not Intentionally shoot her husband,
but that she got the shotgun with the
Intention of frightening him. She said
that sho was carrying the gun In one
hand when It went off and Jmped out of
her hand. She said that she had never
fired a gun before, and did not see John
Burke at the time the Bhot was fired
that killed him. Her story was of a long
line of abuse during her married life, and
a small son told of many occasions upon
which his father has abused his mother
and all of the children.
The case will probably be given to the
Jury early tomorrow morning.
