FOOTBALL LESSONS OF THE YEAR i Principle progress of the year in de | fcnse was made by Harvard. The I crimson was willing to give a great • tleal of ground in mid field territory, j ; provided there was some reasonable j I guarantee that the forward or lateral passing could be guarded against. There are good judges who believe that Harvard went perhaps a shade too far in opening the defense, but it must be remembered that the Crim son had remarkable secondary men on hand, and could play them back with safety better than other .team. | The Crimson played what is called the i reinforced line. This consists in dropping the tackles back, and some times the center, so that at times ! there were only four men on the line, iand five men on the secondary line lof defense. In this system the ends I go in while the tackles and the center wait, to avoid being drawn in by any I "Shell game" back of the opposing jline. The last two backs assumed their normal positions. The theory was splendid—the best yet seen on any flold, X think. It was designed to cover every possibility of the oppos ing attack.—January ONTING. i ABBAS BIIAII OF EGYPT GOES TO VIENNA FOB CONFERENCE By Associated Press London. Dec. l<i, 10.10 A. M.—A dis patch to the Central News from Con stantinople via Amsterdam states that Khedive Abbas Hilrni of Egypt has gone to Vienna for a conference with the Austrian authorities. Abbas Hilmi has been in Con stantinople for some time and accord ing to reports was preparing to lead a Turkish army into Egypt to wrest control of his country from the Brit ish. Ills pro-Ottoman leanings, it has been stated, caused his exile from his own • country. Recently thero have been reports from British sources that he would lie deposed as khedive and that Prince Hussein Pasha would reign I in iiis stead. FRANCE WILL NOT INTERFERE By' Associated Press Washington. D. C., Dec. 16.—France, in a note to the State Department to day. gave assurance that she would not | Interfere with American cotton ship ! ments to belligerent or neutral coun j tries.

M.—A Berlin telegram an nounces that Prince Ilernhard Von I Beulow, the former German chancel lor. who recently accepted the post of I ambassador to Italy, left for Rome on Tuesday.

MUNICIPALITY IY BUILD POWER PLiT Not Necessary to Ask Permission of State Public Service Commission The right of a municipality to con struct and operate Its own electric light plant for furnishing electricity to light its streets and other public places and not for sale to others without ob taining consent of the Public Service Commission was upheld to-day by the commission. The borough of Gettysburg filed a petition with the commission for a certificate of public convenience evi dencing the commission's approval of an electric light plant for its own use. A protest was entered by the Gettys burg Light Company and a hearing was held to determine the preliminary question of the necessity of the bor ough to first obtain the approval of the commissioners before beginning op eration. The complainant is now fur nishing the service to the borough and it is the intention of the latter to dis pense with this service and provide its own light. Bight of Borough Defined The commission holds that the bor ough, as well as every other customer of the Gettysburg Light Company, has the right, in the absence of a contract, to discontinue the service furnished by the light company and to light its streets by means of candles, oil or acetylene. Now power exists in the commission to compel the borough to take the service furnished by the light company nor can it determine where the borough shall buy the candles, oil or how to obtain the gas it may desire to use for lighting its streets. The commission sees no distinction between a municipality generating its own electricity for lighting its streets and making candles or acetylene gas for the same purpose. The commission finds that the courts have recognized a clear distinction between the rights under which a municipality furnishes electricity for its own use and where in addition furnishes it to the public. In the first instance it is exercising a governmental function and in the lat ter is engaged in a business. It Is pointed out that the purpose of one of the provisions in the Public Service Company law was to prevent a muni cipality, without first securing the ap proval of the commission, from en gaging in a business which would com pete with the public service company furnishing like service in the munici pality and not to Interfere with a truly governmental function of the munici pality. To hold a contrary opinion would mean that no municipality, without first securing the approval of the com mission, could install Its own stoves or heat plant in its municipal buildings if a corporation were at the time fur nishing heat for the citizens and to the public buildings In a municipality. This certainly was not the intention of the Legislature. The New Wilmington Water Sup [ply Company, located in New WU- ! mington, Lawrence county, lias been ordered by the Public Service Com j mission to Rive attention to certain details in the administration of its plant. The complaint was filed by I Robert AV. Mehard and other con ! Burners. The company must submit | to the commission a plan showing the i improvements made in pursuance of |the decree of the Department- of I Health under date of September 21, I 1014; map of the line of pipes and | their dimensions; to post and liio its schedule of rates which it will follow lin the transaction of business: to I have an appraisal made of the physi eal valuation of the plant; to revise ; its system of bookkeeping; to flush the i fireplugs at least four times a year and to maintain a type of fireplug to Enjoy a winter in California and visit the two great world's fairs at the same time —all in one trip and for one outlay.
