After practicing hard for a week on local grounds the Harvard team met with a dis- appolntment Saturday, as the rain knocked out the scheduled game with Georgetown.

William Sauer, a private of the United States Marine Corps, charged with the mur- der of James Allen, a civilian, was placed on trial for his life in Criminal Court No. 1 this morning, Justice Clabaugh on the bench. By 11 o’cloek the regular jury panel of the court had been exhausted without the selection of a satisfactory jury. A panel of twenty-five talesmen has been summoned by the court, and will be present tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The defendant Sauer is represented by Messrs. Charles H. Turner and T. Edward Mitchell, while the government's case is conducted by Gen. Thomas H. Anderson, United States district attorney, and Mr. Ashley M. Gould, assistant United States district attorney. Sauer was indicted for the alleged killing of, Allen on February 12 last, when, it is alleged, the men became involved in a quar- rel near the marine barracks. Allen was acquainted, it is said, with a number of ma- rines, and on the night he received his fatal injury was drinking in a saloon near the corner of 8th and G streets southeast, along with several members of the corps. A dis- pute arose between two of the marines, and the matter was referred to Sauer, who had come uj the scene. Allen, it is stated, object to Sauer coming into the affair. Sauer declared he had more right in the discussion than Allen, who was not in the Marine Corps. Allen then invited Sauer to a drink, but the latter refused and left the saloon. Allen followed, it is claimed, and accused Sauer of creating a bad feeling. He insisted that Sauer should return to the saloon with him, and, taking hold of him, said he would carry him back if necessary. It ts then declared Sauer struck Allen in the tussle. The latter fell to the pavement, and eleven days later died at the Eme! gency Hospital, his skull having been frac- tured. : Sauer appeared in court in the uniform of the corps, which he had on at the time of the difficulty, and which he has worn in jail since that time. ; ——_ A.
