Harvard ?ad Yale were prepared to clash In their annual football buttle. This time Yale bis Journeyed to Cam? bridge to wipe out the sting of the defeat admlnlsteied by Harvard last year, when tho resultant score was 20 to 0. At the beginning of the present sea? son Yale made a very poor showing and tho dopesters proclaimed that when the final clash of the season came, the Harvard game. Yale would again be snowed under. Hut thOM # sum" critics have changed their opin? ions to a great extent since the Yale Brown and Yale-Princeton games, in both of which tht Kit Hulblog show? ed that he still bad the old lighting spirit, and the ability to ' come back.' In the stands money Is being wager? ed at 10 to 9 on Harvard or at even terms, while two weeks ago tho Har? vard boys were offering 10 to 6 and 10 to 7 on tho Crimson. That the battle wdl bo the most In? teresting and the bard -st fought of tho year Is to be expected. No stronger rivalry exists, -.nan that be? tween Harvard and Yalj in athletics, especially on the gridiron. So far Yale has had the better of the argument during the many years the two schools have met on the ?trlpsd field. Tho first gtime was played In 1875 and since then the con teat has been an annual event with the exception of four years. 1877, 1983, 1895 and 1896. Thirty-three games in all have been played, 22 of which have been wor. b> Yale, 8 by Harvard and 4 have been ties. These tie games took place In 1879. 1899. 1910 and 1911, and In each, the score was 0 to 0. The highest scorn which either have attained in the games between thsm, was the score of 48 to 0 made by Yale in 1885. in 1901 Harvard made fl polnta to Yale's 0. the high? est score which the Crimson has yet made against the Blue. Several thousand Yab- umlergrnd uates accompanied the team from New Haven, and graduates and friends ?f old Ell helped swell the Yale root? ing section to almost twenty-five thou? sand, liar . ar<l rioters number as many, while the few visitors, who are her?? merely to see the game and are not rooting for any particular team, swell the grand total to utmost sixty thousand. New York und Boston so? ciety, us well as the social elect from ?ther eastern cities and many from other parts of the country are repre? sented in the stands. The crimson pennanta on one side of the field vie with the blue on the other, while vio? lets and chrysanthemum.', art seen in profusion In both stands.

THINKS THAT CITY MAY HE BOT TLKD VP, IMMN Considers Possibility Of In? vestigation of Hallways Which Cur? ry Euel. \V ishington, Nov. 21.?Since the Interstate commerce commission a few day ago announced that an in VftlgStlOII would be made of The charges for carrying coal into South SSStSri territory, Senator Tillman n? bOOfl giving the matter considerable attention. There is danger, he fears, that Charleston may be bottled up, and on this subject he said today: "I have been In consultation with OOOJ producers in western Virginia and c istern Tennessee, with regard to the coal situation in South Carolina. The interstate commerce commission has tt.ken the matter uo on the basis of the complaints coming from South Carolina and has ordered an investi? gation of the whole subject of South? ern coal transportation. I believe this is a move to put off matters and a game of 'how not to do it.' "I learn to my astonishment that In New York city no vessel can get coal except from the coal trust, and that Norfolk is in the same condition, and that the same bunch of capital? ists who already have a monopoly at these two Atlantic ports are scheming to obtain the same monopoly in Char? leston. The monopoly is due to the fact that they control by interlocking directorates the coal roads supply? ing both Norftdk and New York. Their purpose is if possible to prevent the development of coal terminals at Charleston until they can gobble, up that port also. "The situation is of great import? ance to Charleston, but as long as the city council is steadfast in its pol? icy not to allow the belt railway to fall into the hands of any outsider and to follow the policy of keeping Charleston an open port as far as coal is concerned, so that all producers and shippers shall have equal rights; this can not happen. I am thinking of Introducing a resolution to inves? tigate the workings of the coal trust along the Atlantic coast, and Admiral Kdwards, who has recently been to Charleston, Inspecting the navy yard there, asserts that the military neces? sity is such as to warrant the govern? ment In taking any step towards mak? ing Charleston an open port and pre? venting anybody from monopolizing the trade, and thus throttling the commerce of the city. 1 do not know what men In Charleston can thwart this scheme, but it behooves every patriotic man In the city to keep his eyes open. There is a boundless fu? ture as a commercial port for Char? leston, now that the Panama canal will cause the trade of the world to pass by the port, if there's wisdom and patriotism In managing this one thing."

OFFERS Hill THE POSITION OF' CITS MANAGER AT HIS OWN rTGVRE8, Also Sends Message to War Depart? ment ami President Wilson Asking That He Bs Granted Lamra or Ab? sence fron? the Army Sufficiently Ix>ng to Start New Form of Govern? ment?offer Declined by Col. Goc thals. In view of the fact that Sumter is the originator of the City Manager plan of municipal government which has been adopted by Dayton, Ohio, a city of over one hundred thousand population, and that Dayton has offered the position of City Manager to Col. Geo. W. Goethals, chief engi? neer of the Panama Canal, under the direction of the War Department of the United States, the following des? patch from Dayton to the New York Globe, dated November 19, will be of interest to our readers: I>ayton, Ohio, Nov. 19.?Dayton's live commissioners elected to put into effect the new commission manager! form of government sent a cablegram I today to Colonel George W. Goeth? als in Panama offering to the build-: er of the Panama ( cmal tho position [ of city manager, practically leaving the salary question to him. The com? mission met in the office of the Great? er Dayton Association, recently formed by the amalgamation of all the business organizations in the city. A message was sent also to Presi? dent Wilson asking that a leave of abence be granted Goethals so that he can accept the offer. The Dayton commissioners have not disclosed just what salary they would pay Colonel Goethals, but it is said that hey have been told that there was a possibility of his coming here for $25,000 a year. Will Not Leave Panama. The New York Tribune, which prints a dispatch similar to that of the Globe, also publishes a statement from Col. Goethals and from the War Department at Washington, under the same date, as follows: Panama, Nov. 19.?Col. Geofge W. Goethals, chief engineer of the Pan? ama Canal, has received the offer of the Dayton city management. He re? plied, when asked about it today, that his one desire was to finish the canal, and that he would wait here before considering anything else. He Is desirous of perfecting a permanent organization, and says that after that is done it will be time to consider other fields. It was intimated in his conversation that the line likely to be followed by him hereafter would be engineering work, since he was first and foremost on engineering officer. His attitude convinces all here that he will reject anything until he can say of hb Panama Canal work, "The job is done." War Department Won't Grant Leave Washington, Nov. 19.?Col George W. Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama Canal, cannot accept the Invi? tation of the authorities of Dayton Ohio, to become city manager and undertake the making of a model municipality of Dayton. Secretary Garrison of tho War Department to? day notified Senator Pomereno ot Ohio that on engineer of the Army Corps could not be detailed for work of this chorOCter without special leg? islation by congress, nor could leave be granted to him for that purpose. The decision is in lino with an opin? ion recently of Attorney General Mc ReynoldS) who held that army engi? neers COUld not be detailed to the In? terstate Commerce Commission to as? sist In its inquiry into tho physical valuation of American railways.

NEPHEW OF TAMMANY HEAD NAMED AS PARTNER IN GRAFT BY MC? GUIRE. Hud Agreement with Murphy on Bonding of All Canal, Highway, Subwuy and Aqueduct Contracts, says MeOnlre Attempt to Hold up Three Companies. New York, Nov. 21.?George H. Mr Quire, the Syracuse bonding agent for State highway and barge canal con? tractor, is a partner of Charles F. Murphy, Jr., nephew of the leader of Tammany Hall. He today so testified at the John Doe Inquiry into highway graft and said he had an agreement with Murphy to divide all the bond? ing business they obtained. Further, McGuire confessed to hav? ing attempted to "hold up" at least three asphalt companies for $5,000 contributions to the State Di nocratic campaign in return for getting them contracts from the State highway de? partment. McGuire was to get a com? mission of 1 cent a gallon for all the asphalt tho companies sold to the State or to contractors, he said, and the companies were to charge the con? tributions against the commission. Two of the companies? the War-1 ner-Quinlan company and the Union Oil Company of California?did not contribute, he said. Whether ,he third, the Barber Asphalt company, con? tributed, McGuire said he did not] know, but the Barber company got the contract. He said he had re? ceived a total of $1,250 from Arthur S. Johnson, sales agent of the Bar? ber company, but insisted that these were not commissions but money given him as campaign conrtibutions for Gov. Sulzcr. McGuire said it was possible he also had sought a contri btttlon from the United States Asphalt company under the same terms. That company paid him $69^ in commis? sions on material which the company had sold to the repair department of the Stato highway commission and still owed him money, he said. So did the Wadsworth Stone and Paving company and the Barber company. Last year he also received commis? sions on sales made to the State by other companies, he testified. Before he took the stand McGuire went before the grand jury and was questioned, it was understood, as to the part his brother, James K. Mc? Guire, played in the sharing of com* missions. James K., the witness ex? plained, recently sailed for South America, but he thought he would be able to have him return. McGuire again denied that in com? pany with his brother he had seen Gov. Sulzer and John M. Carlisle, commissioner of highways, and dis? cussed specifications under which the Barber Asphalt company would ob? tain State contracts to the exclusion of all other companies. He was not sure, however, but that he might have talked with Sulzer at a later date, but not in Cooperstown. In regard to his association with Charles F. Murphy, Jr., in the bond? ing business, McGuire said he had an agreement with the Tammany leader's nephew which embraced a di? vision of Commissio *s on the bonding Of all barge canal, Stete highway, sub? way and aqueduct c mtracts. They both represented the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company, he said, and last year had together ob? tained about 25 per cent of tho State highway bonding business.

Oasoe He Fined by Appointment?Plea for Change*. Columbia, Nov. 24.?Call for a sys? tematic and concerted campaign by the militia of this State has been is? sued from the headquarters of the National Guard Association of Soui.h Carolina, in which all militiamen are urged to advocate the permanent In? crease of the appropriation for the maintenance of the militia to $25,000. This State is giving $12,000 yearly to the militia, and when this amount is divided by the number of organiza? tions it allows about $225 each. The State association also asks that the adjutant general's office be filled by appointment. Yesterday A. E. Legare, secretary of the National Guard Association of South Carolina, issued the following statement: "The main argument presented by tho militia to support the ir crease is that: Allowing a general average of armory rents alone of $20 per month, the appropriation will be more than consumed by this item, and there will be no funds available for other neces? sary expenses that an: incidental of income and get along fairly well from a financial standpoint, but the aver? age citizen is ignorant of the up-hill proposition of the company com? mander to keep his organization re? cruited to the strength required by law as no special privileges are at? tached to membership in the militia; and the services to be rendered after enh. tment are severely stringent, so In order to procure and keep the proper enrollment it is necessary o offer some inducements in addition to I patriotism, and this costs. "On the other hand, the arguments presented for the maintaining of the present strength of the militia, viz., three regiments, is that: About one third of the counties have no militia organizations, and if the appropriation is not increased It will be necessary to eliminate one of the regiments (12 companies), and this will leave the State in a far worse condition if the militia is needed, and it is not neces? sary to present any specific occasions when such a call would be made. "Comparisons are invidious,' but it is veil to consider the fact that this State Is next to foot in the amount of its support of its militia, and the average difference Is about $15,000, other States, such as Georgia, Ten? nessee, Alabama, North Carolina, etc., providing in general an amount of about $50,000 each. "Another measure that will be ad? vocated before the general assembly at the coming session will be the changing of the laws regarding the selection of the adjutant general. South Carolina is one of the two States of the Union that has its adjutant general elected by the people at large (Florida being the other), and it is areneraly known that the average voter has absolutely no interest in, and no knowledge of his duties as a State official. His duties are solely and entirely devoted to the interest of the militia (or should be) and does not In any way affect the general po? litical policies of any part or faction and the militia maintain that such be? ing tho case that they should have a strong 'say so' as to who is going to outline and administer its affairs. "To tho above end they are going to request the legislature to approve in the comping campaign the request that the militia be allowed to select the man that will represent them, and only them, by a change In the laws to the effect: 'That the adju? tant general shall be appointed by the governor upon the recommendation of a majority of the line officers of the -National Guard.' (The meaning of line officers being those who have won their offices by virtue of sei vices ren? dered and not by appointment.) "In the past. In all the States, the adjutant general was elected by pop? ular vote, but all except South Caro? lina and Florida have realized the faults of this system and have changed It in accordance with the above meas? ure." K. C. vonTresckow, president of the National Guard association, has ad? dressed the following letter to the members: "Among the measures relating to the militia that will be presented to the legislature during the coming ses? sion, the two of most vital interest will be: " 'A permanent appropriation for the maintenance of the militia, in the sum of $25.000.' "The changing of the law regarding the election of the adjutant general, so that he will i.e appointed bj the governor upon the recommendation of tin- militia officers, "it is n<u necessary t.? present any arguments to support the necessity of the above measures to a militiaman ((except to .all attention to the fact, that we are on.- of the two States who still have their sdjutsnt general elect Pd by the people at large) hut it ;s CLEMENCY GRANTED 108.

Richland county i.eads the list with ten in the numbe-, Spartanburg and Greenville tie for second place with eight apiece, and the others are appor? tioned to the following counties: Greenville three; Le*? one, Newberry five, Darlington four, Charleston three, Marion three, Dorchester one, Lan? caster two, Abbeville three, Pickens one, Anderson three, Barnwell two, Wllllamsburg one, Oran^eburg four, Chester four, Marlboro one Edgefleld two, Laurens six, York one, George? town one, Cherokee five, Lexington four, Aiken four, Kershaw on?\ Dor? chester one, Colleton one, Clarendon one, Chesterfield one, Calhoun one.

Bennettsville, Nov. 32.?Two young white boys, Alfred Sanders, aged 9, and Arch Marshburn, aged 11 years, were arrested yesterday afternoon, charged with burning the bam ot Policeman Charlie Peele. The build? ing was found to be on fire about 3.30 p. m. and soon thereafter the boys were placed in jail. The facts upon which the arrests were made will be developed Monday morning, when a preliminary hearing will be given be? fore the magistrate. Mr. L. B. H. Darr has returned from Florence, where he conducted an old HoSBJ Sale last week. He will conduct another here this week for the South? ern Express Company. j necessary for a concerted and sys ', tematic campaign to assure favorable action by the legislature; to the above ; end all officers are urged to make a : personal canvass, indorsing these measures, among the members of the general assembly from their home count ics. ? It is suggested that Meli organi? zation constitute itself a subcommit? tee for this purpose, reporting to the president of the National Guard asso? ciation the results of such campaign by them; and also, that all other offi? cers work to the same end. By this means, these matters can he definitely considered at the meeting of the as? sociation, which will bo held January 22, CM 4. and intelligent ?.^tion taken la-fore going before the general as? sembly.
