Football Game a Feature of the Tournament of Roses. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. 4— The. cardinal football eleven will meet the wvictorious University of Michigan football team in a gams to be played at Pasadena on New Year's day. This was decided at a meeting of the football men called by Captain Fisher this afternoon to corsider the proposai of James R. Wagner, president of the Pasadena Tour- nament of Roses Association. The Univer: of Michigan eleven has not been scored against this season, al- though it has played nearly every team in the middle West. Its largest score was 12 to 0 and the smallest 23 to 0. The eleven has been perfected under the coaching of Yost, who coached the Stan- ford team to victory last year. Ameong the Michigan players is Gregory, who played center on the cardinal sec- ond eleven last season, not being eligible to_the varsity. Caplain Fisher has issued a call for varsity and second eleven men to appear for practice to-morrow. The practice un- il college closes on December 20 will be confined to the building up and perfecting of team work. From then until the piay. ers leave for Pasadena daily scrimmages will occur between the varsity and the second eleven.

President Wagner of the Roses Asso- ciation has also secured the appearance <f the Stanford Glee and Mandolin Clubs in Pasadena New Year's night and ex- pects the double attraction of football game and concert will draw an immense crowd to the city. —.—— Olympics’ Honolulu Trip. Advices from Honolulu by the last steamer seem to assure the trip of the Olympic Club football team to Hawaii. One thousand dollars had already been raised to defray the expenses of the fif- teen men who would be taken from here. There are four regularly organized foot- ball elevens in the islands. These are made up of a college team, two athletic club teams and one of natives Manager 1. T. Muma of the Olympic team has sirong hopes that the trip will be made. The team would leave here on the 15th inst. There are two steamers due between the present time and that date. On either of these may be the necessary transportation. Shouid this trip be abandoned Manager “Pete” Smith of the Reliance Club is anx- jous for a return game under better weather conditions than marked the Thanksgiving day contest. P NEW PRESIDENT FOR WESTERN BALL LEAGUE cames Whitfield of Kansas City Suc- ceeds T. J. Hickey, the Latter Resigning With G. Tebeau. ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Dec. 4—The West- ern League has decided to retain its or-| ganization practically as it was last year. It was announced after the meeting here to-day that there miy be some change later on, but it is doubtful. The meeting of magnates was called at the imstance of W. T. Van Brunt of this city and of Trtomas F. Burns of Colorado Springs, the owners of the franchises of these tewns. The action of President Thomas J. Hickey in forming the American Associa- tion, taking in some of the cities of the Western League, was calculated to ruin the league. Van Brunt, who was left out | in the new arrangements, began a vig- orcus correspondence with the magnates at other points, with the result that the meeting to-day ratified the old organiza- tion and accepted the resignations of President Hickey, George Tebeau of Kan- sas City and George Lennon of St. Paul. Tebeau endeavored to secure the ratifica- tion of the transfer of the Denver fran- chise by Packard to himself, but failed. He is out of the Western League entirely, according to the statements of the mag- Dates to-night. James H. Manning was granted the Kansas City franchise. The Denver franchise will go to some person not yet named. It is undecided who will get St. Paul, but it may be Lennon will be taken back into the league, although | there is some objection. James Whitfieid of Kansas City was elected president, suc- ceeding Hickey. At to-night's session of the Western League it emphasized that clubs would be maintained in all cities of the league. The National and Western asso- ciations’ presidents were notified that_all they heretofore held is still claimed. The next mecting will be held at Kansas City on the second Tuesday in January. MILLIONAIRE SPORTSMEN IN TRAP-SHOOTING MATCH John W. Gates, the steel trust magnate, and some of the gentlemen -sportsmen in his party enjoyed a day's trap-shooting on Tuesday at Ingleside. The weather was unpropitious, but this did not dampen the ardor of the gunmen. Otto ¥eudner, C. A. Haight and William Mur- dock, a trio of the best local trap shots, measured skill with the Easterners. Among the latter were D. T. Bradley, amateur champion of America, and R. A. Welch, who has shot at all the big European meetings. In a team race, $50 a side, 25 birds, be- tween R. A. Welch and D. T. Bradley and Feudner and Haight, the former won, Welch killed 23, Bradley 24, Feud- ner 24 and Haight 21. Feudner won a freeze-out match, seven men, $10 entrance. Bradley and John W. Gates divided second money. Mr. Gates and his party were the guests of Alex Hamilton yesterday at Suisun in quest of ducks. ‘_Thzy“wultbe the guests of T. H.

Braun Wins From Cornell by Default, Owing to an Accident. The gymnasium of the Olympic Athletic Club was well filled last night with ladies and their escorts. The occasion was a wrestling tournament of six special matches, the contestants being picked men of the various clubs about the bay. Leader John A. Hammersmith thoughtful- 1y provided an orchestra which rendered popular selections during the brief inter- missions. The principal bout of the evening came to an untimely end owing to an injury to R. B, Cornell, one of the competitors. He and his opponent, G. W. Braun, first wrestled a draw after being ten minutes on the mat. Braun was awarded the next bout at the end of ten minutes for ag- gressiveness. When the men went to their corners it was found the muscles about Cornell's left- knee were so badly strained as to prevent him continuing. Braun was awarded the bout by defauit. The matches were all interesting, holding the attention of the spectators to the end. L. Kullman defeated C. S. Bowers. their first bout he threw him in 3 41 seconds.

LABSENCE OF RHODES A CAUSE FOR SURPRISE Riitish Chartered South Africa Com- pany Meets Without the Man- aging Director Present. LONDON, Dec. 4—The annual meeting of the British Chartered South Africa Company was held here to-day, under the presidency of the Duke of Abercorn, who read a telegram from Cecil Rhodes. managing director of company, regretting his absence, saying he was now improved in health. This _caused cries of, “Why is not he here?” The Duke of Abercorn said the Rhodesian gold output reached high wa- ter mark in November, and he believed, as they would soqn be able to supply their own coal, and with improvements in railroad facilities, that Rhodesia would compare favorably with any gold country in the world. He also announced that the Imperial Government had allowed thic company to reduce the excessive policc force it had hitherto been compelled to maintain, thereby obviating one of the chief causes of this vear’s deficit of £289,296, while the interest on its cash securities would fully enable it to meet the expenses of 1902.

They say the road will be built as planned by President Stilwell, and that no part of it will be sold to any other road. William Invites an American. BERLIN, Dec. 4—Emperor William has telegraphed Commander Beehler, the United States naval attache here, to/call on him at the new palace at Potsdam.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 4—President Roosevelt's message has been very favor- ably received in Government and busi- ness circles. The general comment is that his declaration in favor of Cuban independence and a free trade policy with the island will greatly strengthen American prestige all over Latin Amer- ica. He has completely disarmed the clerical press of one of its principal argu- ments against the Washington Govern- ment. 'WYOMING STRIKES HIS GOING AND TRAMPS IN AT GOOD ODDS Greyfeld Beats the English Horse, Royal Flush---Josie G Outsprints a Speedy Field. —_— INALLY, when he was deserted by the majority of his friends, who found themselves as light as an unloaded freight car, Gay- lan Brown's old horse Wyoming won a race at Oakland yesterday. He was mixed up with a whole lot of speed in the last event on the card, and with Birkenruth on his expansive back returned with the coin at odds of 6 and 7 to 1. Mocorito closed favorite over Herculean, but does not seem possessed of her former speed, showing to no par- ticular advantage. Educate left the ban- ner on a skyrocket breakaway, and then. could not last out. Birkenruth with Wyoming made one of his short turns into the stretch and, quickly taking the front position, beat Herculean out two lengths. Only a few of those who in- dulge in the practice of “running a horse down’ bet on the wirner. While the day was clear and pleasant the track was very sloppy, giving horses with speed the advantage. Under such uncertain conditions three favorites had their numbers flashed first. Under the improved climatic conditions the attend- ance showed a marked increase over the preceding day. § Thinking Evander scarcely up to a bruising race Walter Jennings let his maiden 2-year-old run loose in the open- ing scramble. After receding from 6 to 5 to 5 in_the books the 2-year-old downed Budd Wade a length, owing chiefly to ‘Winnie O’'Connor’s persuasive saddle tac- tics. Major Bird, the favorite, was early cut off and never after took a hand in the Once again it looked as if Grayfeld had had dropped into a soft spot, and this time Bob Smith's chestnut delivered the merchandise. It was generally supposed that Forkford, piloted by Johnny Woods, was going to cut some figure, and the Baldwin entry closed nearly an equal favorite with Grayfeld. Forkford dis- played’a rousing burst of speed for a second, and then completely After Royal Flush, the Britisher, ‘hecame afflicted “with the sulks in_ the stretch, ll?{rk?grlllli on Grayfeld blew in at _Rollick, equal favorite in the ring with Ned Dennis, captured the Futurity course print after a hard drive' with Abba L, a to 1 shot. The latter made all the 1 runring and only at the paddock did s ® begin flashing distress signals. Alzura, probably short a rvace, finished in the show. Fresh and overflowing with speed after her rest, Josie G, the fast daughter of Bloomsbury, defeated St. Sever and Dr. Scharff for the fourth purse. Rosewar came in for heavy backing at 6 to 5, and the filly made a most disappointing show- ing, never ‘getting up with the leaders. Josie G was always in front and led St. a couple of lengths. Czesar Young's Eonic, the even money oice for the mile selling run, expe- rienced some poor racing luck at the start, but ran gamely, and was_returned the winne Lee Jackson piloted the filly and was 1y bumped at the first turn, des gelting away from the post in a zled up condition. All this gave J. Daly, on Galanthus, an opportunity to open up a gap of daylight over his fleld. However, he did not get far away, and when challenged in the stretch by the favorite swerved in toward the rafl and lost by a length. Bedeck finished only a fair third. Track Notes. Sixteen books laid odds yesterday. Bar- ney Schreiber cut in, while Joe Harlan goneluded to “buck 'em” from the ground a; Birkenruth was the only rider to pilot two winne; Barney Schreiber’'s Budd ' Wade was tipped about to win the maiden event. O'Connor gave Royal Flush such a shaking up that the English horse acted in the stretch as if he wanted to run out the gap. Hoar rode Abba L, which came within an ace of beating Rollick at odds of 190 to 1. THe mare ran some remarkably fast races in Montana this summer at the shorter sprinting distances. - > But for being bumped by Alzura, Ned | Dennis might have landed the third| purse. St. Sever acted sore when he was brought to the paddock, which caused his odds to recede from 3 to 5 to 1. Entries for To-Day. First race—Five and a half furlongs; purse; maiden 2-year-olds. ....

BALLSTON, N. Y., Dec. 4—Bank Ex- aminer Graham was busy all day exam- ining bank certificates presented to the bank for verification. To-day there were several developments increasing the de- fault in interest-bearing certificates or confirming Vice President Donaldson’s suspiclons therein. Several certificates were presented to-day that are marked on Teller Fitcham's books as paid and the account closed. The bank officials still assert that the bank can reopen next week on a sound basis, admitting that their $116,000 surplus is wholly wiped out by Fitcham’'s embez- zlements. When the doors closed Monday night and Examiner Graham took charge the bank's assets were $185,000, exclusive of $100,000 capital; liabilities, $620,000. Fitcham’s peculations &dre now known to have extended back twenty years. His individual deposit ledger balanced to a cent when he closed it Saturday noon. Fitcham remains at home under a strong guard and was too ill to be arraigned this afternoon. He said the estimates of the bank’s loss were exaggerated and that he had not taken more than half the sum mentioned. He said he was not a stock gambler, but that his trouble was due to family extravagance, his expenditures hnlvlng been for years in excess of his salary. —— Allison Names a Committee. WASHINGTON, D.

Eighty-eight greyhounds will be in the running on Saturday and Sunday Union Coursing Park. An open stake of seventy-two dogs Will be run down once on Saturday and will be concluded on Sunday. A special stake of sixteen dogs will be run in its entirety on Sunday. The hares are surprising the coursing men by taking the fleet dogs around the field in courses of two minutes and over. Usual- ly at this time of the year, when feed is plentiful, the courses are short. The greyhound which can stay the route is still in demand over the sprinter.

SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 4—To-night the hotel corridors are crowded with dele- gates from all over'the United States and Canada campaigning for and against the various measures that are scheduled to come up in the big convention of the American Federation of Labor, which will be opened here to-morrow. The Pacific coast delegation, headed by John T. Mor- gan of Portland, is fighting for a declara- tion favoring the re-enactment of the Chi- nese exclusion laws, with amendments to make its provisions apply to all Mongol- jans and its operation unlimited as to years. Delegates from the shipbuilding trades are making a_ vigorous campaign for a demand from the federation that the Gov- ernment build its own ships and not let out the contracts to private parties who pay less wages and exact more labor than does the Government. The resolutions submitted for the con- vention’s consideration number nineteen in all. In addition to several on adher- ence to strict trade autonomy and one on Chinese exclusion, they declare for the creating of a defense fund by levying a 10-cent per capita tax: against tenement and home work by tailors; against the “‘progressive cigarette-makers’” independ- ent label; for boycott on the tobacco and bakery trusts and other alleged unfair in- stitutions; for an eight-hour day for post- office clerks; for obligating of members; to demand the union label on everything manufactured by union hands; against any local body declaring a boycott until the central body approves of it; for the proportional preferential ballot system; for the appointment of a committee to in- duce the masons and bricklayers to afil- jate; for a law making it a capital crime to attempt to kill the President of the United States, Vice President or any mem- ber of the Cabinet; establishment of a bureau of organization. BECOMES A BURGLAR ELEVEN RAILWAY MEN TALK OF RATES Representatives of Many Roads Hold a Con- ference. Increase of the Car Famine Prevents a Serious Problem. ——— NEW YORK, Dec. 4—Represen {‘; of practically every railroad Funnind- e of Chicago, with the exception of Great Northern, held a meeting to-day this city. in The business of the session was unusually brief, entirely routine, and had to do chiefly with the problem of mai taining freight and passenzer rates through the vast country traversed by these roads. Perhaps the most serious problem which presented itself to the railroad men the increasing car famine which at th time taxes the capacity of all the more important railroads. No conclusion reached on this point, but it was sug- gested that it might be necessary to make a per diem charge, instead of a mileage charge for the use of cars. B Regarding the rate situation, freig and passenger reports submitted indicat that these were in a fairly satisfactory condition. There were no complaints of rate cutting presented. In some quarters there was a disposition to attach si carnce to the absence of the Great North- ern representative. It was _explained however, that the affairs of Hill's road would be amply subserved by others pre: ent at the meeting. No representative the Interstate Commerce Commission at- tended the meeting for the reason that no business bearing on the affairs of this body was transacted. In the absence of Chairman E. T. Jef- fery of the Denver and Rio Grande roa who is now making a_tour of the Sout west with George J. Gould, the presiding officer was Joseph Ramsay Jr. of the W. bash road. After the meeting Ra said that the real business of the CGW- er.ce was transacted at the monthly m: ings held in Chicago and that a quarter! meeting was held in this city to give op- portunity for conferences with the presi- dents and directors, but, as a matter of fact, no meeting had been held here for a year, and this meeting was somewh. of a disappointment, owing to the faet that so few of the presidents and dire tors were able to be present. Sessions were held in the morning and afternoon and the meeting adjourned shortly be- lf',m'e 5‘ o’clock to meet in Chicago Decem- er 20, When asked whether there had been any discussion as to pessible interferenc by the Western Governors or the Inte state Commerce Commission with the Northern Securities Company, Ramsay said that the conference had nothing do with such matters and that the ques- tion had not been touched on, as it was purely and solely a rate conference. BANKERS MUST TELL ALL ABOUT CAPITAL Internal Revenue Commissioner Ren- ders an Important Decision Re- garding Taxable Property. WASHINGTON, D. C., Deec. 4-The Commissioner, of Internal Revenue has rendered a decision in which he holds that bankers must return for taxatio; capital, surplus, undivided profits _am borrowed money used in the business of banking. The Commissioner holds that capital is taxable whether invested, as in the case of the United States bonds, or the bank building, or tife circulating, as in the case of money, including money borrowed; also surpius, including undi- vided profits. “In providing that surplus shall be in- cluded as capital,” the decision says, “it is obviously the purpose of the law to have the tax imposed apply to all money used or employed by banks as capital carrying on their business. Money bor- rowed by banks and used as capital is held to be taxable, and it is clearly no less liable to tax because of the fact that it is borrowed by a bank from its own un- divided profits. ‘The fact that surplus so used consists wholly or in part of undivided profits, or that such undivided profits have or have not been formally set apart from such, seems wholly immaterial, so far as the purpose of the act is concerned. It is the use and not the authority to use that brings such profits within the taxing pro- visions of the act.” —_— Nominees of Women’s Clubs. FRESNO, Dec. 3.—The nominating com- mittee of the Women’s Fedetated Clubs, composed of one representative for each of the six districts into_which the State is divided, with one member of the State executive board, met this morning to name officers to be elected at the next biennial meeting in San Francisco durin; the first week in February.

CATARRH _Catarrh has become such a_common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with.

It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it ve_;y soon becomes so. he blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.
