Frank Mayer, Big Tackle, Fails to Pass Examination and is Lost to Eleven for Season. Minneapolis, Oct. 23.—With two of the star players declared ineligible the Minnesota football team this af- ternoon went into the game with Towa. The men ineligible were Lorin So- lon, captain, and Frank Mayer, the big Minnesota tackle. Played Baseball, Solon was declared ineligible for further participatipn in intercolle- giate athletics on the ground that he had professionalized himself by pldy- ing baseball for money as a member of the Havre, Mont.,, team, during July and August. The disqualification was made as a result of evidence secured in Montana by Prof. E. P. Harding this week. The committee, of which two of the football players, Baston and Bierman, are members were in session for three hours, the captain being summoned before it. Will Not Be Expelled. Statements that finding Solon guil- ty of the charges against him, despite his denials, would lead to dismissal from the university, are incorrect. Investigation proves that there is no precedent of the kind at the univer- sity, but that it is an understanding that men caught transgressing the code of amateurism and denying their guilt when questioned, will be dis- missed or their dismissal recommend- ed by the eligibility board. Girl Gave Information. ‘The accusation or information that Solon - had played professional base- ball was first communicated to the Minnesota authorities by a girl stu- dent at the institution. The charges were to the effect that he had “played baseball' during the| summer vacation with a semi-profes- slonal team and has covered his iden- tity so far as possible by playing un- der the name of *“Stone.” Solon ad- mitted to the inquisitors that he had been in Montana, but merely, he said, on an excursion to Glacier Park. Solon is Philosophical. Solon took his dismissal from the team philosophically. “I didn’t play baseball last summer for money,” he said today. “I domn’t see how the committee found it pos- sible to reach any such conclusion.” The loss of Solon, football follow- ers assert, will be seriously felt by the Gopher eleven. He was the teams’s surest ground gainer, its best goal kicker, a defense bulwark and the best man in the squad in receiv- ing forward passes, according to his admirers. Mayer Fails in English. Frank Mayer was declared ineligi- ble, havlng failed to pass an examina- tion in English and will be ineli- gible for the remainder of the season. Mayer last Wednesday took a spe- cial examination in English and that afternoon announced to Dr. Williams that he had killed it. It was taken for granted all around that he would be in today’s gams, but the eleventh hour announcement that he had fail- ed to pass his test came like a thun- dérbolt from a clear sky. ‘Ihyer was tackle on last season’s team. and he had been counted upon to bolster Minnesota’s already weak " lne.

Wright last evening dismissed the ~ase of G. P. Jones, editor of the Her- ', against A. J. Wiltse, editor of « Independent, in which the for- .ser editor claimed $5,000 damages for several articles published in the Independent. Judge M. A. Spooner of Bemidji was the attorney for Mr. Wiltse and Charles Scrutchin of Bemidji was the attorney for Mr. Jones. The court sessions during the past two days when the trial was being held were well attended as there has been intense feeling in regard to the case, INDIAN LID TO STAY, SAYS FEDERAL AGENT Virginia, Minn.,, Oct. 23.—“Hib- bing and Chisholm may fight the fed- eral order issued Wdenesday closing saloons under the provisions of the Indian treaty as long as they like, It's pay day.” This is the way Deputy Executive Agent H. A. Lar- son of the United States Indian de- partment sizes up conditions at Hib- bing and Chisholm where Wednesday he assisted in serving notices on nearly 100 saloons to close their doors Nov. 1 under the provisions of the Indian treaty of 1855. Mr. Larson was in Virginia Wednesday night and while here he stated to old friends and acquaintan- ces his belief that that Hibbing and Chisholm retail liquor dealers would gain nothing by fighting the order of the federal authorities. “It’s pay day,” was the way Mr. Larson sized up the situation which is to say that there is small chance in the estima- tion of Mr. Larson of the liquor deal- ers of the villages of Hibbing and Chisholm to evade or delay the en- forcement of the‘federal order. The government knows what it is doing, he says. Chisholm saloon men hlve raised $8,000, it is said, and plan to retain Mayor Power of Hibbing to fight the order. St. Paul, Minn.—Three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in hard cash, almost a third of a mil- lion, was paid into the state treasury yesterday by the several mining com- panies operating on state iron lands. The payment covered operations for the three months ended Sept. 30, and is the second largest for any similar period in the state’s history. The royalty rate on iron ore is 26 cents a ton, and the production from state lands within the time named was 1,- 300,000 tons. State officials are well satisfied with the showing made, but predict that the output in the cur- rent quarter will run even higher and will establish a new record. This prediction is based, in part, upon the opening of a new state mine, located within the corporate limits of Hib- bing, is estimated to comprise at least 4,000,000 tons, which will mean ultimately the payment of an even million dollars into the state school fund. The. heaviest payment made by any one operating company came yesterday from the Oliver Iron Min- ing company, a subsidiary of the United States Steel corporation, and amounted to $258,000. The record production for the quarter went to the Leonidas mine, which contributed 436,000 tons, according to J. A. O. Preus, state auditor. MISS CARPENTER WEDS J. P. HINSHAW J. P.

W.-T. Mason.) (United Press Staff Correspondeat) Increasing successes of the Rus- sians are assuming proportions that must be beginning to attract serious notice in Berlin and Vienna. Since Von Mackensen left the eastern front to take command of the Serbian drive the Slavs have been hammering at the line the junior field marshal formerly held and have now. succeeded in bending it. Berlin confirms Petro- grad’s announcement of this victory, which is at a precarious place for the -: Germans. ‘Germans Are in The treacherous Pripet nnrsheu are on the left flank of the Teuton front, where the Russians are now striking. The Germans would be in danger of suffering a catastrophe similar to which Von Hindénburg inflicted on the Slavs in the East Prussian marsh- es, if Russia could produce a mili- tary genius like the great Von Hin- denburg. While it is improbable the Rus- sians can develop sufficient leadership to take advantage of the nearmess of the Pripet swamplands, nevertheless the Teutons must begin to strengthen their eastern line if they art not to lost much of their recent gains. Von Mackensen Calls for Men. With Von Mackensen calling for more men in Serbia, the time soon arrive when the Teutonic ernments will have to decide whether to curtail operations in the Balkans or to shorten the eastern battlefield by a large retirement. The situation in eastern Galicia and Bukowina, too, is gradually as- suming an importance that will con- tribute to enforcing grave doculonl at Berlin and Vienna. Teutons Are Losing Ground. The Teutons are slowly but surely being driven from the borderland of Rumania. The losses' which the Aus- tro-Germans are suffering in this area are coming at a time when a special, mission from Rumania has arrived in- Petrograd. There can be no doubt but that.this mission has been charg-. ed with a discussion of what Russia . has to offer in exchange for Ruma nia’s participation in the war. The problem facing Gemran lead: ership, . therefore, are growing more and more complex. A; little accident here, a sudden turn of misfortune. there, and the Teutons must begin to. consider what part of, - the territory they no wohld ¢an be abandoned with least harm to: tlmgu ulvu : = constantly. -
