TRUNk-LINE AGREEMENT.
Board OF Governors-Boardo of Arbi-
tration-Agencies, Etc.

ASNss
NEW YORK, August l5.-In the new
agreement OF the trunk lines and their
western connections the chief change
from present methods Is the establish
ment of Board of Governors, nine in
number, with absolute power to make
and maintain rates.
The committee Of three originally sug-
gested by Commissioners Goddard and
Blanchard Is accordingly enlarged upon.
These New York governors are TO repre-
sent the interests involved. There are
sixteen lines in the agreement. but In
more than one instance their interests
are mutual. end will be represented by
one man on the board. As for example,
the New York Central and West Shore
can be represented by one governor, as
can the Big Four and the Chesapeake and
Ohio.
Therefore. n poard Of Arbitration Is
provided for. This body will hear all
complaints and pass upon them before
the lines themselves can take action OF
"A disturbing nature. Three commission
ers in ell will ~ elected for this board

cles II had originally been proposei 10

plan, however, could be suggested ana

will be abolished. where such action
cannot be taken such freight ana as

under the control ot the Board OF Gov
errors In the matter Of rates.
A clearinghouse and money penal'iss
are included. as has been told already'
hut no money pool will be established.

the agreement will be held as soon as
possible after the return from Europe or

IL wins the boycott Case in Geor-
gin's supreme Court.

ATLANTA, GA. August 1.-the State
Supreme Court has decided the Seaboard
Airline boycott case in favor Of the
Seaboard.
Last spring the Southern Railway ond
Steamship Association ordered a boycott
against the Seaboard, charging II with
irregularities and manipulating rates.
The Seaboard was not q member or the
association. 1t denied irresularity, ana
peti,ioned the Superior Court for an In
junction restraining the Western and
Atlantic railroad from enforcing the boy
colt against IT.
The Seaboard had a contract with the
Western and Atlantic. under which con-
tract the Seaboard was to enjoy all the
advantages Of traffic connections allowed
by the Western and Atlantic TO any road.
Judge Lumpkn, the Superior Court
Judge, rendered a decision restraining
the Western and Atlantic from enforc-
ing the boycott against the Seaboard on
local business. but permitting It on
through business.
The Seaboard appealed 10 the Supreme
Court Of the State, and has now obtained
decision which prohibits the boycott al
together.

Radical Change Necessary in Football
 Oficials-yarsity Has Suffered vitally
 From Partisan ard Incompetent Men.
 The Yale football management Is eager to effect radical change in the present system of choosing officials for football games. At present they are selected for any game from tie spec tators, almost indiscriminately, are in many cases more or less incompetent, and in nearly all instances are very partisan. Yale has suffered vitally from partisan officials this year, but does not claim that her own officials have been blameless in the matter. In the game with the Boston A. A., the umpire allowed the visitors to repeated ly seize the members of the Yale line for Yale to score. In the game with Brown university Saturday Yale had the ball at Browns five yard line three times, only to have it given to the other side by alleged off-side play, as soon as the situation was critical for Brown Yale always made a second touchdown which was disallowed, for alleged off, side play. This would have won the game for Yale.
 Yale will favor an entirely new system whereby the officials shall be disinter- ested persons, and thoroughly compe- tent, rule prohibiting the appointment of members of either of the composing colleges being adopted
