THREE CENTS. How Can I Stop My Neighbor From Rifling My Coal Bin? "Perplexed" Asks The Eagle to Help Him Solve This Ridde--The Eagle Offers a Prize for the Best Letter That Points Out a Way to End Thievery Without Causing Unpleasantness Between Families. Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: As a last resort I am writing to The Eagle in an effort to And a solution of a Very perplexing situation that confronts me. I am a citizen of Brooklyn, and live with my family in a two-family dwelling in a residential neighborhood. Two months ago I bought and had delivered to me enough 1 coal to last throughout the winter.

In the house with me, live a man and his family. We are on very friendly terms and my wife is very fond of this man's wife. In short, we are neighbors in every sense of the word--at least on the surface. A few weeks AgO I noticed that the coal in my bin, which is in close proximjity to that of my neighbor in the caller, was disappearing. Loth even to suspect! neighbor, I made a thorough investimy gation 0 fthe cellar.

I questioned my wife as to the possibility of outsiders taking the coal, but as the outside door remains locked, It was clearly an "insido job." Finally, as the coal continued to disapI decided to test my neighbor. I pear, knew the hour, day and night, when hell into the cellar to put coal into his Went furnace; so I went down before him, and, after filling my own furnace, so arranged the coal that 1 should recognize instantly if it were disturbed. My neighbor went into the cellar, filled his furnace down and came up. I Went down and found that more coal had been taken from my bin. I repeated this test several times.

until am now convinced that 167 neighbor has mistaken my coal bin for his Perhaps he is not a own. thief, but only who takes a shvelful or more a person of my coal every time he feeds his nace, thinking, of course, that I shall never miss It. Now, what am I going to do about it? Go to the police court? That will not do. For the sake of my DAILY GOAL BY BRICKLEY WINS FOR HARVARD AGAINST PRINCETON Blocked Kick Gives Crimson Players the Ball on Tigers' 19-Yard Line Just Before Score. FINAL SCORE IS 3 TO 0.

Annual Clash Between Big Universities Is Played on a Muddy Gridiron and in the Driving Rain. (Special to The Eagle.) Princeton N. November was a blocked kick, followed by 3 goal from field by Brickley, the Harvard fullback, that beat Princeton University here today, 3 to 0. Hitchcock had not broken through the Tiger line and blocked the punt that Law was trying to make during the second period of the annual football clash between Princeton and Harvard the Chimson never would have been in position to i have attempted the drop kick that istered the only points of the day. Brickley made the actual play that gave Harvard its three points.

The drop kick that scored was made while the Harvard star was standing on the Tigers' 20-yard line. The score was made during the second period. The block kick that was rectly responsible for the tally came a as a great surprise to the 28.000 spectators who sat in the rain- swept stands and tried to imagine that it was the greatest of fun to watch twenty -one strong-limbed college students bury themselves in the mud of a water -soaked gridiron. Princeton had decidedly the better of the contest throughout the first quarter. playing of the Tigers was a great surprise to the followers of both institutions.

In every department of the game! they had excelled the men from Cam-! bridge town. Not only had they outkicked and outrun the visitors from Boston tows but they had actually made three first downs and never had allowed the Harvard students to turn a similar trick. they had lacked the punch when within scoring distance, still they had showed themselves to be the better eleven. It was all so surprising to the football fans who had predicted a Harvard vietory that they could not understand what was happening. There had been a eral that water -logged field would help Harvard as Captain "'Hobey" Baker was known to like a dry ground for his sensational runs.

The field was not as bad as it was when Dartmouth was here, still it was slippery as ice and heavy enough to please the most accomplished mudhorse that ever ran at Sheepshead. The game had been a tiresome affair. It reminded one strongly of the usual contest between the Army and the Navy for kick followed kick in such regular order that it seemed as if punting was the only play known to the students. Of course, the idea of the generals was plain to the great majority who followed the ganie. A wet, muddy ball is hard to baudle and each team was playing in the Continued on Page 6.

neighbor's family, especially his wife, for whom we have the greatest respect, have no desire to turn him over to the police, even if I had evidence suflicient to convict him. In fact, for several reaI don't want a row. The unpleasantness would make life miserable for me, and for my family. My wife will not consent to an exposure, because of the that it would cause her humiliation friend, the neighbor's wife. To put my coal under lock and key would be tantamount to declaring my neighbor a thief and would not avert the unpleasantness.

We cannot move because we have longtime lease. The neighbor also has a long lease: SO that we must stay in ahat house together. We can hold aloof, and maintain the peace, as at present, Indefpiaely, but that does not solve my problem. My coal is going. How can I stop it? In what way can I end this petty "graft" without bringing about one or the other of the complications I wish to avoid? This situation would be laughable, were it not for the fact that it shows poor human nature in such a bad light, and further, that I am losing my coal, which I can ill afford.

I appeal to your paper to suggest some way out of my difficulty, which is causing me sleepless nights and endless worry, and has brought my wife to the verge of a nervous collapse. PERPLEXED.

HUERTA IS DEFIANT AND READY FOR WAR AGAINST THE U. S. Mexican Provisional President Plans to Defy Washington, His Friends Claim. WILL HOLD OFFICE UNTIL 1914 Wilson Is Urged to Recognize the Constitutionality, but Hopes to Solve the Problem by Diplomaoy. Mexico City, November 8-General Huerta has shown 110 indication that he will comply with the American demands tor his resignation.

On the contrary, those who profess to have his confidence programme includes the gay that his continued occupancy of the presidency time late in the year 1914, until some and that he intends to carry out his plans the new Congress and organizing fying Washington even to the point of war. basis for believing that There is some States has served on President the United notice that his Huerta a supplementary official must be brought to an end career by Monday night. It was reported today that John Lind, President Wilson's representative, was the medium employed by Washington, Mr. Lind and the Mexican officials deny this, but the rumor originated in the National Palace. Those who insist that General Huerta will resist all overtures, say that he admits financial weakness, but is convinced that from time to time he can get enough money to keep up a dogged, If intermittent, campaign against the rebels.

Huerta Not to Resign Until Peace is Restored. According to these informants, General Huerta does not expect to bring about pacification for many months, but until it is accomplished, Huerta will not resign. that he is still determined that the new Congress must meet, end he expects it to annul the recent elections, leaving him in the provisional presidency, and call new elections. That the new Mexican Congress must not meet is a point insisted upon by the United States, since it is believed that cue of the first of that body would be to legalize certain concessions that are not considered desirable. It not forgotten, however, that the unexpected In Mexican politics is never surprising, and as evidence of this fact every hour brings a new rumor regarding Huerta.

One rumor of a persistent nature was that he had turned the ernment over to the Foreign Minister, Senor Moheno, and had gone to Vera Cruz. Another was to the effect that he bad committed suicide. That Hureta has begun to break with certain members of his latest Cabinet, is indicated by the resignation of General Blanreported. Minister of War. Mr.

Lind and the British Minister, Sir Lionel Carden, conferred again today. It was learned that their ideas regarding a solution of the situation are still far apart. Washington, November 8-Notwithstanding intimations that Provisional President Huerta would refuse to resign, Administration officials stated tonight that his elimination would be accomplished "in one way or another." They that every opportunity would be given him to retire peaceably, and that drastic steps would be avoided if possible. The chief development of the day was a call sent by President Wilson for members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Republicans as well as Democrate. He had Senators Stone and Swanson with him for an hour, and expects to discuss the subject individually with other members within the next two or three days.

He is in constant communication with Senator Bacon, chairman of the committee, who ea ly in the day had a long conference with Secretary Bryan. The Georgia senator said tonight that while he was not at liberty to discuss his talk with Mr. Bryan in detail, he could state that there had been no change in the fixed purpose of the United States to have Huerta eliminated from the situation and that it would be done, though every effort would be made to avert extreme measures. Only Two Courses Seem Open to United States. In the vlew of many officials who anticipate a flat rejection by Huerta of the American demands only two courses are open to the United States--either to compose the situation or to throw its moral support with the Constitutionalists in their fight to obtain possession of the government in Mexico City.

That there is a strong disposition to adopt the latter course was evident in many quarters today. Officials in the conAdence of President Wilson said that while there was absolutely no alliance between the Washington Government and the Constitutionalists, the sympathizers of this Government would incline toward the Constitutionalists movement. The discussion, they said, had not progressed the point where recognition of the belligerency of the Constitutionalists was being considered. Lifting the embargo in arms, however, is the method by which many Senators believe the situation can best be met, mad this is being urged with renewed rigor upon the President and Secretary Bryan. believed that before the Washingcon takes any step, an understarding, through informal and unofoval channels, may be reached as to the exact purposes of the Constitutionalists, 80 that any act of sympathy toward their cause might be predicated on assurances of a very definite character.

To this end, It is reported that agents of the United States Government are gathering Information along the border of the Continued on Page 4. WELLESLEY GIRLS' AMBITION.
