Captain Slgsbee Praises Football.

Captain Charles D. Sigsbee of the
United States navy expresses himself as
enthusiastically in favor of the game Of
football at it's best. He believes, how
ever. that, improvements are possible,
With a delicate touch of irony Captain
Sigsbee says z...,sss. xs.A.z ....-,,..
II must admit I have been brought to
express these views by reason Of the pres
ent practice of 'hurdling the opponent s
line. <'''
''Hurdling may be brilliant and ef-
fective play, but it, is also a. questionable
one. I am inclined to think that under
no circumstances whatever should any
play be permissible which requires that
one gentleman should Jump with either
one foot or both feet on the back of an
other gentleman
A. r. Il. Hillebrand, 1900, the well
known captain Of the champion 1899
Princeton football team, has been engaged
to coach the tigers next spring in base
ball and next. fall in football. Hille-
brand played at right tackle on the eleven
and for two years was the all-American
choice for that position. In baseball he
materially aided Princeton In winning two
championships and was rated as the all
collegiate pitcher. The past two years
doc" has spent at Annapolis in charge
of the navy eleven. II
The following men will captain the five
leading western elevens next year: Min

den, left end. Wisconsin-Abbott, left
end. Chicago-Ellsworth, center. Illi-

Roy nor any of his family could find any
trace of wound or bullet mark on the deer,
and his father was of opinion that the
deer, had heard some of Roy's stories and
simply fallen dead right there. For which
small blame to the deer, for they have
knocked out humans before now, said the
elder Wheaton.
And for two DAYS the mystery re :
manned mystery, and in all probability
would have remained one even to this
day, had not Roy Kicked up agin' the
head of the unlucky buck. which had been
cast into the backyard and picked it
idly up to look it over. His rifle was Of
the old Kentucky type, carrying seven
ty-to- he-pound ball, and this little pellet
had struck the buck. which must have
been looking over mis- shoulder as he ran,
squarely in the center of the right eye,
piercing the brain, not not destroying the
eye in it's passage.
AS a raconteur Roy is a success, and
they say he is equally expert in handling
that very elusive thing, a birch bark
canoe, which latter statement I do not
doubt, though the exposition of it he
gave me was little to my liking at the
time. He, Mr.. Powers, and your humble,
had been we'll down the big lake, had
crossed, and after hunting all day were
returning with TWO fine deer, Mr.. Powers
navigating one canoe laden with the
spoils of the chase. and Roy the other,
bearing my precious self as burden.
cit was the first time 1 had ever been
in a birch, as they seem to be called in
this country, and my nerves would keep
jumping my heart into my throat in spite
Of Roy's assurances that if would only
keep still, keep my balance, and keep my
hands off the besides he could paddle
me across the Atlantic, and never wet me
a little bit.
Il rather think he would have got me
across the bay on the shores of which
Jud's house stands, had 1 been able to
avoid clutching the sides of the canoe, but
just simply wasn't, and I'll tell you What
followed my clutch.
Lost His Self Control.
"We. were nearly across the bay, a
pretty, wide one, and the wind was
sweeping down it at a lively gait, and
kicking up nasty little sea in it's passage
and to tell the truth I was getting more
and more scared all the time. But the
canoe went along nicely, and we were
maybe thirty rods from shore, before my
nerves got too much for my self control,
and I made the overt movement.
1.-THE wind had kind of held its breath
for moment, and then let out puff that
sent a big, uninterrupted wave rolling
right down on us, that seemed to my un-
accustomed eyes as bearing certain de-
struction on it's crest. And then grabbed
the canoe sides with both hands and halt
rose.
81 hadn't time to do more. I've always
been told that birches don't upset, but
simply slide out from under you, and
know now that that Is the truth. Ours
Just slid out, land all the world was in the
sea-" That is so far as We were con-
cerned, it was. We just held on to our
guns, swan ashore, and Mr.. Powers
caught and lowed our craft ashore and
no harm was done. Trains coming. is it

AUTOMEN
Manufacturers of Motor Vehicles
Want Congress to Pay Cost
of National Highway.

call a meeting of the trade at the Chicago
Automobile Show in February, to take ac-
ton toward the presentation of bill in
congress providing for an appropriation of
S20,000000 toward a national highway.
The call will be issued by the National
Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
The feature of the bill to be urged will
be a prOviso that the expense of the pro-
posed highway shall be shared equally by
the national government the state and
the county. In other words, each county
through which the road passes will pay
one third, the state containing the county
one third, and the United States third.
Another important proposition adopted
by the executive committee of the manu-
facturers association is the granting of
certificates to competen chauffeurs which
will bear the photographs Of those to
whom they are issued.

koehIer Still Eligible.

Koehler, the big maroon tackle, accord
ing to the precedent established in the
case of McGuigin at Michigan, may have
another year on the Chicago football
team. -,
Koehler played three years on the foot
ball team: at the University Of Nebraska,
and when he entered Chicago it was gen.
orally understood that he would be: eligiI
BILE for but one season on the Midway. Ac-
cording to report circulated among some
maroon enthusiasts, however, Koehler was
prep" student during his first year on
the Nebraska eleven. If this fact Is pro-
ven he will be eligible for another year
at Chicago.
1t is entirely possible that at the next
meeting of the conference committee
more definite rules will be adopted to
govern cases similar to those Of McGugin
and Koehler.

games this year in which smuggling has
been too conspicuous, and there have also
been games in which straight scientific
football has been played from start to
finish In their effort to get strength and
beef at almost any cost, some of the cap
tains and coaches have placed men on the
team better fitted for something else than
a place on university team of any sort,
but such cases are the exception rather
than the rule. There have been few scan
dals connected with the game this. fall,
and the season as whole will wind up,
with the annual battle between the navy
and army at Philadelphia, in good order.
If some of the association tactics could
be introduced into the college game, they
would improve the sport in the most
healthful sort of way; but it seems doubt
full if the American universities will ever
borrow anything from their English cous-
ms in the football line. So when a man
or woman asks you if football is really
brutal, you can answer only that it de-
ponds almost entirely on just how the
game is played. Some games are as de-
moralizing and hurtful as prize fights and
others are not. There have been men, who
deliberately tried to MAIN and injure seri-
ousfy the players opposite them, but such
cases are, fortunately, rare.

MAY SETTLE INDIANA TROUBLE
Miners Executive Board Committee to
Confer With Operators.

Indiana polls, April 9.-The trouble
in the block coal fields of this state was
discussed by the national executive
board of the United Mine Workers As
ISOLATION Tuesday. 1t was decided to
appoint a committee of two board
members to act in concert with the dis
trict officers to arrange a settlement of
the difficulty with the operators. While
the board members were reticent about
what action had been taken, it is be-
lieved 1t was decided to postpone in
dorsing the strike of the miners until 1t
is seen whether anything can be ac-
complished by reopening negotiations.
The West Virginia situation was ia
ken up yesterday. The utmost secrecy
was maintained in regard to what ac-
ton was taken, but it would not be sur
prising If strike order is issued within
a few days. TIL eorder to quit work
would affect between 10000 and 5000
men, it is said.
The situation in the anthracite dis
trict of Pennsylvania probably will not
be taken up until the last of the week.
The officers wish to give as much time
as possible to the national Civic FEEDER
alton before taking any action. The
Kentucky situation will be canvassed
today The Hopkins county strike,
which has been in progress for over a
year, is the most important matter to
be considered in that district.

SUES UNION MEN FOR s25o,ooo.
Henry II. Roelofs of Philadelphia Asks
DAMAGES for Boycott,

Philadelphia, April 9.-Henry H.
Roelofs of this city, who is one of the
largest hat manufacturers in the Unit
ed States, commenced suit in the Unit
ed States circuit court for $3.50 900
damages against fifteen individuals re-
siding in different states who are mem
bers of the United Hatters' Association.
Mr.. Roelofs alleges conspiracy
on the part of the defendants in issu-
ing false and defamatory circulars.
causing libel to be printed in their
journal, and having agents in a num-
Der of states seeking to boycott his
goods.
He states that about year ago he
discharged two men for want of work.
A number of his employees who belong
to the local unions thereupon left his
employ, and he alleges that some Of the
defendants in this suit then tried to in
duce him to submit to their organiza-
ton. Mr. Roelefs agreed to join the
union, but wanted the right reserved to
himself to employ whom he pleased
without regard to membership in the
union. To this the defendants would
not agree, and then, Mr.. Roelofs al
leges. the conspiracy began which is
charged in the statement filed. On one
occasion, as set forth in the statement
the defendants prevented the plaintiff
from making the sale Of 100000 worth
of goods to one customer, hence the
large amount named for damages.
Along with the statement there are
filed copies of the circular issued and
copies of the letter threatening to boy
colt. Mr.. Roelofs says he also has cir
oulars and letters similar in tone from
labor organizations and business men
in different states.

Struggle Over Ratification of Treaty
Due to Domestic Politics.

Struggle over Ratification OF treaty
Due to Domestic Politics.
Copenhagen, April 9.-The struggle
over the ratification of the treaty for
the sale of the Danish West Indies has
been mainly an affair of domestic poll
tics. The only industrial interest in the
islands affected by the transfer OF ter
ritory to the United States Is the sugar
planting in Santa Cruz, and the treaty
clearly will be helpful in securing it
preferential treatment in the American
market The mercantile and shipping
interests which have offered resistance
to the treaty which have been repre-
scented by Peterson and a few other
strenuous opponents and have not been
important.
The real secret of the demonstration
against the treaty has been in a politi-
cal maneuver of the prime minister,
Deutzer who was supported by an ov-
erwhelming majority in the lower
house. but who was blocked by his po-
litical opponents in the upper house.
These opponents could not consistently
object to the treaty since their own
party had begun negotiations for the
Sile Ol lIle lSldllOS uHu LSutACl iao
raised the price while carrying out the
same policy. They were in desperate
straits for a reasonable pretext for OPP
position until Groen and Christmas
turned scandal mongers under Rich
ardson's patronage. This silly roor-
back supplied them with an opportun-
ity for posing as moralists and purists
and they were vigorously supported by
Peterson and the shipping clique. The
ministers We're placed on the defense
and forced to prove that their own rec
ord was irreproachable, and that they
had not been associated with a COM
mission and brokerage business in ne
gotiating the treaty.
Deutzer scornfully dismissed the
charges that government money has
been paid for bribing Washington leg
islators and officials. Danish politi-
clans, however, would have been less
than human If they had not taken adj
vantage of the scandal mongers melo
drama, especially when it had received
an adventitious mounting from the
Washington marplots. Consequently,
the debates in the upper house have
been conducted with aceribty and We
hemence, and partisans have made as
much mischief as possible without con-
vincing friend or foes that they We're
in earest in vindicating the national
honor.
Groen and Christmas are now esti-
mated at their true value, and the ne
gotiations are generally admitted to be
free from sordid faint and to be based
on the mutual interests of both nations
Denmark having no motive for retain
ing a nom paying investment and the
United States having military and ma
val reasons for completing the defense
