Netr York, Dec. 2.--The president of .'$Jhe United States and members of his Ijabinet, together with 42,000 patriotic .ericans, surrounded the gridiron in lb Brush stadium on Saturday- and ' .jaaw the WeBt Point football eleven ' jftirnish a stunning surprise by con- ^ ijuering the midshipmen from Annapo- y.f. ' Sis by a score of 22 to 9. From the standpoint of the specta- '^tor, the game and its setting lost noth- of its thrilling grip and interest as ' <4i result, and the 42,000 persons pres- :-; .::«nt gasped and cheered by turns at the f • t kaleidoscopic playing scenes depicted. *<fr.*^he uses of the forward pass repeat- ^ edly by the cadets opened up the play ^ lb a far greater extent than the more \V, - conservative line attack and runs of the middies. "%•> In the opening quarter the two elevens played the usual eastern 'r 'tf'ifame, with the attack directed princi- j 4 gially at the line and outside tackle. At • • $hfrs period the advantage lay entirely With the middies, who used their . /^Weight and speed for consistent gains. ' Near their own goal line the army |jkeld firmly and Brown, the middies' light guard, was called back to the , ;:«adetB' 20-yard line, whence he kicked placement goal. In the second pert- V "4>d he duplicated the feat, after Hodg- von dropped one of Nicholis' punts •I ftad Gilchrist recovered. '•v.' v The army got into action in this quarter also, and sent the score see­ sawing with a field goal and touch- ; down. Early in the period the soldiers gained the bail on the navy's ten-yard ,> line as a result of a blocked punt from * Nicholis' toe. The West Point backs Could make no impression on the navy Une, and Woodruff, wfco replaced % ' Jouett for the occasion, kicked an easy V; Coal from placement on the navy's 25- | yard line. Just before the quarter I ended Prichard caught one of Nich- ;r.v' oils' high punts at midfleld and raced |V 16 yards toward the middies' goal be- fore he was downed. Three times in succession, then, Prichard hurled a forward pass. The V llrst two were uncompleted, but the j third shot squarely into the hands of Merrillat, the army right end, who had fun across the middies' goal line, thus West Point registered the first touch­ down of Xhe game, leaving the score at 'the end of the first half 9 to 6 in favor of the soldiers, for McEwan failed to ^ 11 kick the goal from touchdown. The navy added another goal from i - placement in the third period when , Nicholis, by clever running back of Jouett's punt, placed the ball on the k. ; ftrtny's 25-yard line. Checked by the , *Boldier8' defense, Brown scored his .< 1 third and last goal from placement, £ • kicking from the 30-yar/l mark. " With the points nine all the cadets Opwied another brilliant attack.

Again Prichard elected to try a forward pass again it was Merrillat who caught the flying spheroid behind the navy goal line for the third touchdown of the game. The ball was downed to the ertreme right of the goal posts and the punt out was a failure, leaving the final score: Army, 22; Navy, 9. & TRAIN KILLS TWO IN BUGGY Thanksgiving Day Bride One of Vie- of Accident at F*lr- " , t; iMd, ind. . f Kokotno, lad., Dec. 2.--*rfc; WHber Toungman, aged twenty, of Cham-" . t»aigu, IlL, was killed and her husband, •y J«ged twenty, was fatally injured at ipir.

Chicago, Dec. 1.--Otto Zar Hanish, the "little master" of the Mazdas- nan sun cult, was found guilty on Fri­ day by a Jury in Federal Judge Mack's court, following his sensational trial on a charge of violating the interstate commerce law through the shipment of his book, "Inner Studies," via ex­ press; Counsel for Hanish made the usual motion for a new trial. The date for a hearing on this motion will be fixed by Judge Mack upon his return to Chi­ cago. Fixing of the penalty rests with the court. The conviction carries with it as a maximum penalty a fine of $5,- 000 or five years in the .penitentiary, or both. At the same time that this action was taken in regard to the motions for a new trial the defense asked that the defendant be permitted to remain at liberty on his present bond of $10,- 000 until such time as the question of the new trial motion is disposed of. The Maztiaznan sun culi. of which Hanish is the founder, long has been before the public eye.

His attitude during the recent street car strike, when he let it be known that he did not wish policemen to ride on the cars manned by strike-breakers, caused the resignation of Superintend­ ent of Police Martin J.

Th^ gunboats thereupon steamed for Mazatlan to join in a land and sea attack on that port, which is occupied by a large rebel force. General Huerta's friends hold that unless President Wilson's forthcom­ ing message to congress urges steps beydnd the continuance of the finan­ cial blockade the provisional president is prepared to maintain his resistance. They point out that although the gov­ ernment may be bankrupt the provi­ sional president is far from being with­ out funds and is not likely to be so as long.as private institutions and cor­ porations possess funds.

Waihington, Nov. 29.--Ah appropri­ ation of $306,000,000 for the postal service for the next fiscal year has been submitted to congress by Post­ master General Burleson. This sum, if granted, will\be the greatest allowed for this service in a single appropri­ ation measure. The estimates contemplate a sub­ stantial extension of the parcel post service, which is credited with a large part of the surplus of $4,5Q0j000 earned by the postal service for^the fiscal year just cloBed. Representative Madden of Illinois introduced a bill providing that the salaries of assistant, postmasters and employes above the clerical grades in first and second class post . offices shall be baped on the gross receipts of their officers. Assistant postmasters in offices where the gross receipts are less than $40,000 a year would get 60 per cent, of the postmaster's sal­ ary. Where the receipts are over $40,000 the salaries would vary in ac­ cordance with a schedule prepared by Mr. Madden. One-cent postage promises to be one of the live Issues to be fought out in the regular session of congress. No fewer than a dozen bills on the sub­ ject already have been introduced, and it is said about half of these pro­ vide for penny postage outright. \ Record-breaking estimates for Army appropriations were laid before con­ gress by the war department. Secre­ tary Garrison transmitted to the house his estimates for the military estab­ lishment during the next fiscal year, aggregating $106,000,000, which is roundly $10,000,000 more than the fig­ ures submitted a year ago for the army bill.

Juarez, Mex., Dec. 3.--Rather than puffer starvation the federal Mexican troops have evacuated Chihuahua City, •\yhich has been under siege for weeks, according to advices received on Mon­ day by, Gen. Francisco Villa, a rebel leader. The evacuation left the city open to possession by the rebels. The report received by Villa said that Salvador Mercado, military gover­ nor of the • state, with 2,000 federal troops, had left Chihuahua on foot for Ojinaga, on the United States border, near Mai4fe, Tex.; that Gens. Jose Ynez Salazar and Pascual Orozco, with more than 1,000 federals, had retreat­ ed to the mountains west of the city and that hundreds of civilians, includ­ ing women tend children, who were on the verge of' starvation, had started to Walk to the United States border. Neither in the Madero revolution nor in the present uprising has Chihuahua been taken from the federals. Its gar­ rison and the commanding positions for sharpshooters and machine guns afforded by the cathedral and publie buildings had always presented a for­ midable barrier to Invaders. General Villa telegraphed details of the evacuation to General Carranza at Hermosillo, saying the proposed ad­ vance of the rebels southward to Mex­ ico City would now be expedited. The possession of Chihuahua, he said, would inake rebel territory of the country straight through to Zacatecas ajid operations would begin about that city and at Aguas Calientes. General Villa said Frederico Moye, a prominent merchant, had been named civil governor of Chihuahua state, tie added: "We will be nearing Mexico City within a month." Five hundred thousand dollars' worth of provisions and clothing and $100,000 in the Banco of Minero were confiscated at Juarez by Villa to sup­ port the rebels. Max Weber, German eonsul, denied that Gen. Francisco Castro, former federal commander, was a refugee in his home. I have not seen Castro since 'the day before the fight, more than two weeks ago," said Mr. Weber. "Nor do I know where he is hiding." Washington, Dec. 3.--How the American border patrol has found It well-nigh impossible to enforce the embargo against shipment of arms and ammunition from Texas Ipto Mexico was described in a report from Brig­ adier General Bliss, commanding the forces on the border.
