Letter That Tells Why Taylor

WASHINGTON. May s.-The Senate dis
cussed the nomination Of c. III. j. Taylor,
the Kansas colored man, TO be recorder of
deeds for the District of Columbia, for an
hour, while in executive session to-day,
and adjourned without taking any action
Senator Proctor made the principal of sew
eral speeches in opposition TO confrma-
ton and Senator Martin the only speech
made in support Of confirmation. He con-
tended that as appointments had gone for
many terms 70 negroes and nonresidents,
the arguments against Taylor on these
grounds were without foundation. The OPP
position made to confirmation in executive
session to-day was based entirely upon
nonresidence and the argument was for
home rule in the district. During the ses-
sion a circular was shown on the floor
dated Oct. 10, last, signed by Taylor as the
president of the Negro National Demo-
cratic League. which created some merri-
ment. In this he speaks of President Cleve-
land as ''giant reformer of the age" and
praises Secretary Carlisle and Senator
Voorhees, in ~extravagant language for the
part they took in the repeal of the Sher-
man law, and tells how Mr.. Carlisle OBJ

STRIKING AT AN EVIL.
Bill to Reform the Railway Federal
R~ecefvership Business.

WASHINGTON, May Representative
Terry, of Arkansas. who, with Representa-
tives Boatner and W.. A, Stone, have been
investigating judge Jenkins's anti-strike
injunction. has prepared a bill designed
courts are practically engaging in the rail-
road business through the appointment of
receivers. Most of the subsidy roads Of
the West are in the hands Of receivers
appointed by federal courts. The courts
thus secure absolute authority over rail-
roads, and as the receiverships run from
year to year the courts succeed the rail-
road officials in conducting the business
of the road. Mr.. Terry's bill will attempt
to put a limit to these railroad receiverships
in order TO avoid the charge that the courts
are going into the railroad business 1T is
said that not only is the time of the fed
eral courts consumed and their functions
sprung up. One OF these is the practice of
cutting off all current debts for supplies.
repairs, labor, etc, in order that the re-
ceiverS may pay all the income of the road
to the first mortgage b~ondholders. The
latter usually apply for the appointment of
receivers, and when the latter are appoint
ed they cut off all debts save those 10 the
bondholders. Judge Caldwell, of the United
States Circuit bench, has recognized this
abuse. and in appointing a receiver for a
receiver should pay debts due from the
railroad for work, labor, materials, ma
chinery, fixtures and supplies of every
kind, including damages to persons or
property which accrued after the execution
OF the mortgage under which the receiver
was appointed. Mr.. Terry's bill will seek
TO incorporate Judge Caldwells ruling into
permanent statute law.

FOOTBALL RULES.
Changes Made by Walter Camps Inter-
collegiate Committee.

NEW YORK. May 8.-The rules commit
tee appointed last November to make rules
governing the playing Of football met to-
night in the University Athletic Club rooms
and adopted a set that will hereafter gov
ern the game. Walter Camp, Of Yale. was
chairman Of the committee Among the
changes propose by the committee and
adopted by the University Club are the fol-
lowing:
In Rule /, Section z, a punt is made a
kickout with the drop kick and place kick.
In Rule 6 the words without touching
the dress or person or places after the
kick" are omitted in regard to the OBJ
tanning of a goal. Rule s makes the use
of a signal necessary by the man intending
to make a fair catch before that counts as
such.
Rule Is provides for the duties Of the UNI
pire, referee and linernan, making the UNI
pire's decision in foul and unfair tactics
final, often referring to both referee and
lineman if he so desires, and making the
referee judge of the position and progress
of the ball. All coaching along the lines
is prohibited, the lineman will keep time,
is time-keeper under the direction Of the
referee. Only one official representative
for each side shall be permitted on the
field in case of accident to a player: Rule
~ NIC BN@J &c tAAAAt "
minutes to thirty-fve minutes for each
half. Rule Is provides for an actual kick
where rules call for il.
Rule % is expanded to make the meaning
more clear of the rule against obstructing
players with the hands. The player of the
side in possession of the ball can obstruct
their opponents with the body only; the
side which has not the ball can use the
hands. as can also the player having the
ball, that is, in breaking through the line.
Delays limited to three minutes; penalties
for fouls are increased from five to ten
yards. The same rule defines fouls which
shall be granted for unnecessary delay OF
the game, off side play or holding an OPP
pOnent unless he has the ball.
Rule 20 is altered to provide for the
ffteen-yard penalty upon interference with
a fair catch. Rule 80 provides against de-
liberate piling up on a man when he is
down, a penalty of fifteen yards being at
tached to this unless the distance carries
the ball across the goal, when half the
Intervening distance shall be allowed. A
number of provisions are made tor the
work OF the snapper back.
Momentum mass plays are prohibited
and an alteration Is made limiting the pos
sible plays from a fair to touching the ball
In and kicking it or walking in with IL for
a down. Rule IS allows a man TO kick a
ball out only one chance instead Of two.
but provides for an exception designed to
increase drop kicking. the last section of
which reads: Whenever a side has tried
the drop kick at the goal at first down in
side twenty-yard line, and the result has
been a touchback. the line of kick out shall
be the ten-yard line instead of the twenty
fye-yard line in determining the position of
the opponents, and the kicker'S side must
be behind the ball when ii is kick
