of getting the business the best way they

working ever since the first of the year

materially reduced the authorized tariffs
that were so materially advanced at that

rate denoralzers. The orders OF the exec

with the Hooking Valley Railroad. The
case was carried to the Supreme Court

was given a few points upon which the 9TH

hence If Mr.. Larwill had not carried it up
the likelihood is that Judge Burke might
have done so.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES
IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE BY THE
INTERCOLLEGIATE COMMITTEE.
Ofside Play to Hereafter Cost the
Offenders Ten Yards-PenaIty
for Any Unfair Act.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.--Waiter Camp and
bal rules committee have been busy some
time revising the football rules in antici-
ration of the coming season. The commit
tee has completed its work and the revised
rules are now in the hands of the printer.
Radical changes have been made in sew
eral of the rules. The tendency has been
to make the game more scientific, stop I'M
sportsmanike conduct, and to take away
the opportunities inferior teams have to
gain time over their superiors. The COM
mittee has changed the rule by which a
team lost the ball for off-side play. Here
after the offenders will be penalized ten
yards and the ball will remain in posses
sion of the side having 1t before the foul
was made.
An important change is due to the out
come of last years Harvard-Yale game,
when Yale resurrected the old twenty-yard
rule in order to hold the ball when near
Harvard's goal Rather than give up the
ball Yale dropped back twenty yards and
kept the ball. The rule has been changed
to read: "a team cannot take advantage
of this rule second time, unless the ball
has exchanged possession after the team
using the twenty-yard rule had first taken
advantage of the rule
Princeton's movements last year in the
Yale-Princeton game of the side line
coaching rules led up to the imposing of a
ten-yard penalty for coaching from the
side lines. Any unfair act committed by a
player or any sympathizer may also be
punished by ten-yard penalty. With the
exception of these four changes the rules of
1899 will prevail during the coming season.

Denial by the wabash.

A Wabash official denies in an emphatic
and convincing way the Chicago report of
a violation of the excess fare rule by that
company, and hints in a significant man.
ner that the story was printed so as to
give more publicity to the fact that the
Wabash was charging excess fares on it's
through trains as well as the standard
lines. The story was given out. it is said,
by a representative of standard line in
order to attract attention to the Wabash
excess fare policy. When this excess fare
rule went into effect a short time ago the
impression got abroad that only the stand
ard lines were charging extra, and the trav-
cling public. not wanting to pay the excess,
patronized the diderential roads. The Wa
bashs continental limited Chicago-New
York train makes the run in twenty-six
hours. which is two hours below the limit,
and accordingly 81 is charged for adults
and 81 for minors in addition 10 the regular
fare.
