RULES FOR FUTURE
ARMY AND NAVY GAMES
Matter Of Eligibility Will Be Discuss
ed at Next Conference.

The proposition to hold contests be-
tween West Point and Annapolis under
the eligibility rules which govern col
lege athletics Is having serious eonsid-
Grafton by the athletic committees OF
each OF the Governments big academies.
The matter will be fully discussed at
the next meeting OF the representatives
Of the two institutions. which will take
place at an early date. for the purpose
OF arranging the details of next sea-
sons football game.
A baseball game between the two in
stitutions next year has already been
scheduled. The necessity OF this has
been particularly suggested by the fact
that the football authorities this sea
son have refused to rank West Poinr
and Annapolis with teams having eligi-
bility rules and have not considered their
players for positions on the All-Ameri-
can team. II is also considered that as
and the baseball series one each. tho
present would be the proper time to be-
gin the new regime.
The fact that the regulations admit
students to WAst Point who are two
years older than those who can enter
Annapolis has not only caused the army
teams TO be composed OF more mature
players. but there have been quite a
number Of young men who entered that
institution who had already made repu-
tations for themselves on other teams.
The most notable instance OF this IS. OF
course. DAILY. who before entering the
Military Academy had played on and
captained. the team OF Harvar1 Univer-
sity, and would have been barred under
the eligibility rules had they been in
force
There were three others, who. under
the rules. could not have played for West
Point this year. These we're Toraey. who
played on Cornell last season. and BunL-
er and Graves. who had played on the
University OF North Carolina team. the
number OF years on that team and those
at West Point far exceeding the four
years allowance. No such case has
ever arisen in the athletic history Of th e
Naval Academy. owing to the lower axe
limit.
For these reasons the matter will Ger
tainly be discussed at the coming meet
ing. and the adoption OF the rules may
be strongly supported

DAMAGE TO WASHINGTON
MONUMENT BY SMOKE
Effect Of Burning Bitumin-
GUS Coal in Furnaces.

A thin veneer OF coal dust covers the
upper part Of the Washington Monu-
ment. having gathered there as a result
Of the use OF bituminous coal in this
city. On every side OF this great shaft,
the white surface is blackened In spots
which are discernible at some distance.
The rain is said to be the only pre-
ventive from it becoming entirely black
According to those in charge OF the
Monument. its present condition IS due
TO the smoke from the lighting plant OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. located near by, and that
which Is blown over from the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing. On the north
east side Of the Monument. which faces
the lighting plant, the effect is noticed
most.
In places at the top OF this side the
dust has been so thick az times that to
rub a cloth over Its surface would leave
a bare white spot Tests Of this sort
have frequently beer made. with the re-
suit mentioned.
Every afternoon thick volumes OF
smoke pour out Of the great chimneys Of
the lighting plant. With the wind blow
ing tn the direction OF the Monument.
The dense clouds envelope the upper
part Of the great shaft. and when the
air is moist, It clings to the surfacs.
where it remains until the next rain
As there Is no way to clean the Monu-
ment. its bright appearance at present
depends upon the weather conditions. 1t
is said that the nuisance has been In
existence for long time. and that it Is
only because Of the fact that the stone
does not absorb the dirt that the Monu-
ment IS not in a worse condition.

PENSION RED TAPE
CAUSE OF SUFFERING
Burned Check Cannot Be Replaced for
Six Months.

ALEXANDRIA. Va. Dec. 15.-WithOut
any coal in the house 20 ward OF win
ter's chilly blasts and without provl-
sions. and with no prospects OF any
money for Christmas, Levia W Hooff-
man and his wife. who live at 414 Frank
lin Street. are anything but happy cou-
pie. They are simply depen ling or their
grocer to keep them supplied with pro-
visions for the next three months. and for
other outside necessities their pros
poets are dark. This Is owing 10 a law
that where a pension check is destroyed
# cannot be duplicated until six months
from the day OF issue.
On December Mr.. Hoffman received
his pension check, for S135, by the morn
ing mall which Is sent him quarterly
He left the check on a chair preparatory
10 going 10 the bank 10 have II cashed.
His little grandson, who Is little over
three years Of age. picked up the pen
sion check, and in an instant rolled Il
into the shape Of a cigarette, initiating
his elders, and placed Il in his mouth
and lighted it with a burning piece OF
wood. Before either Mr.. or Mrs. Hoolf-
man could reach him, the pension check
was burned up The child also had his
face, hair. and eyelashes burned. his
garments taking fire from the names.
His injuries are not serious.
Mr. Hoffman then set about to work
to have the Pension once issue him a
duplicate check. He thought that
would cause him but slight incOnveni-
ence. He went to Washington and sue
ceeded IN interesting Representative
John F. Rixey In the case. Mr. Rixey
set about to do what he could for the
unfortunate man. He went TO the Pen
sion Ofice and was told that Mr.. HoOff-
man could not have the check duplicated
for six months. Mr.. RiXey then went to
the Treasurer OF the United States. and
made his last appeal in the case. With
out avail.
Saturday Mr. Hoffman received a
letter from Mr.. Rixey In which he stated
that II was a matter OF law. not regula-
tiOn. which provides for the issue Of a
duplicate check only after the expira-
tiOn OF six months from the date OF is
sue OF the check.
Mr.. HOFFMAN has but one arm. and is
wholly dependent on his pension for a
livelihood.

GLAD HAND TOMS" HOTEL
FOR TRAMPS IN TRENTON
Home for Knights of the Road Where
They Have to Split Wood for
Board and Lodging.

TRENTON. n. J., Dec. I5r-After los
ing a fortune in attempting to conduct a
home for tramps, Thomas TerradeI.
known to the "hObOes" from one end OF
the country to the other as "GIad-H
Tom." has opened a small hostelry for
the knights Of the Road and expects to
make It self-supporting by requiring his
guests" 10 split wood.
Tarradel was an engine driver on a
railroad when the notion first came to
him to establish an institution for the
exclusive use Of tramps. He had a snug
fortune left him. and after doing evan
gelistic work for several years he built
"Terradelphia" here at a cost Of 500 900.
II was mammoth structure, containing
several hundred bedrooms and plants for
the manufacture OF brooms, brushes, and
kindling wood.
Terradel operated the establishment
only a year and was forced 70 abandon
It two years ago. having piled up an in
debtedness Of about $50 900 The priv
ileges he offered the tramDs were abused
and the Industrial end proved to be the
least-favored place in the Institution.
For the intervening two ye-gs Terra
del has made a heroic effort to rehabili-
tate himself. and has gathered together
about $1,000. which he has put into his
new enterprise.

ENGINEER IMPRISONED
BY BOILER FOR AN HOUR
Arm Caught in Flue and Old
Man FaintS From Pain.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 16-Ths fue
OF a tubular boiler, which he was clean
ing in the foundry Of Charles Perkes.
1O7 North Seventh Street, formed a
trap yesterday in which Henry simmons.
sixty years old Of Az Livingston Street.
was held prisoner for more than an hour
In a most y .inful and peculiar position.
The old engineers arm caught In one
OF the openings OF the boiler. and be
came so tightly wedged through his ef-
forts to extricate It that II was necos-
him and save the limb.
Tho opening TO the fue in which he
put his arm was Just large enough to let
the member enter freely and when he
attempted to extract it. the sleeve OF
his Jumper became wrinkled and wedged
against the rough iron. Simmons made
vain efforts to loosen the arm and then
tried force. His struggles only wedged
his arm and the hard woven cloth cf
his jumper more tightly. He became
exhausted.
Helpless in the tolls Of the huge iron
boiler he called his assistant, and a po-
liceman obtained the aid Of an engineer
from a neighborlng building.
The efforts Of the trio proved futile. as
had been the efforts OF Mr.. Simmons to
loosen the arm. Every imaginable meth
cd was tried 10 get the tightly wedged
member loose The sleeve WAS torn
from his jumper and shirts, but the
goods which formed hard knot within
the boiler could not be torn out.
To add TO the difficulties the arm be-
gan to swell from the tugging and pull
ing. and the imprisoned man began TO
suffer physical pain.
Finally as he half hung, half stood,
with his arm extended into the boiler to
a point above the elbow, he tainted.
Heroic measures were then adopted
While the imprisoned nan was revived
and sustained by the use II stimulants,
a machinist was sent for, who. with cold
chisel and drill, cUt away the heavy
steel Of the boiler and released the arm

CORNELL IS DROPPED
FROM PRINCETON SCHEDULE
Nassau Auanges Date With Yale to
the Surprise Of Ithacans.

The Cornell track management has re-
ceived word from Princeton that the
latter has arranged a dual meet with
Yale to be held May 9. This announce
ment was received with a good deal OF
surprise at Cornell. for May had been
agreed upon by both Princeton and
Cornell early in the fall for the date Of
their annual spring meet. 40 other
reason was assigned by the Princeton
manager than that alumni had desired
the Yale meet for that time, and ac-
cordingly It had been assigned. Cornell
was arbitrarily thrown over without
even being notified Of the desired change.
The relations between Cornell and
Princeton have always been of the most
cordial kind. and therefore Princeton's
act has been received with unalloyed
regret by the students
II another date is arranged for the
meet Il will cause an entire readiust-
ment OF the schedule. Cornell will meet
Pennsylvania on TIE 18th OF May. and
It Is felt TO be unjust 20 ask her TO
change a date merely TO suit the con-
venience Of the Princeton ma nagcment.
Princeton, IN informing Manager zim-
mer OF its action, did not give an
adequate reason for this su bstitution OF
Yale for Cornell The Princeton man
ager simply stated that the alumni Of
the university hSd desired 4 hat May be
given up to Yale. and this was done.
Cornell was accordingly thrown over
and It is felt that Cornell should be
furnished with full statement OF
Princeton's reasons for such action.
Manager thinner states that II May 9
Is not open TO Cornell only two other
oates, May 10 ana %. are lODen. Later
negotiations may perhaps lead to the
adoption OF one OF these d ates. but Il
is believed that this is doubtful. and
that Cornell and Princeton WIN not meet
on the track next year

WASHINGTON TO HAVE
A HOME FOR CATS
Building Costing $4,000 to
Be Erected.

Washington is to have a home for
cats. Arrangements are being made for
Its early construction and those inter
ested in the project intend making it
one OF the best in the country. The
project is being pushed by the Wash
lngton Cat Club. OF which DR.. Cecil
French is president
Plans OF the proposed home we're on
exhibition at the Poultry and Cat
Show, which closed after a week s
success. A building to cost 5000 is in
tended and sufficient ground will be
purchased for the site 10 permit large
sheds In which 10 have the animals ex-
ercise.
Cat homes have been established in
many Of the larger cities and they have
proven humane institutions. Cats with
no homes are gathered in and cared for.
Sick cats are given medical attention
and persons leaving home for a period
can place their pets in the home and
have them looked after during their bb-
sence.
The scheme to erect home FOR cats
in the Capital City was given impetus
at the cat show last week Many who
heretofore disllked the little animals.
were won over as friends and when the
home" idea was broached they be-
came earnest supporters. Inasmuch
as the Cat Club originated the plan
they will have the matter in charge. Sub
scriptions viii be solicited among the
admirers OF felines.
The show was a succesS, said Man
ager George E. Howard, as the
last box OF chickens and basket OF
cats we're taken out Of Masonic Temple
and sent homeward But Tor the rain,
we would have had by far the biggest
attendance in the history Of our exhibit
ton. Each year interest grows and more
people attend The exhibition this year
was better than any previous one.
Next year. we intend still better one.
Many owners Of fnely-bred cats are
interested IN the proposed cat home in
this city. and the plans exhibited to
night indicate good ideas or the part OF
the Washington Cat GLIB" While
Manager Howard was talking. a number
OF well known Washingtonians sD-
preached him and pledged support next
year in the way OF feline exhibitions.
The officers OF the Washington Cat
Club are: Dr.. Cecil French, president;
Miss Elizabeth Mcfarland. vice presi-
dent; Col George ". 7a-ehal. second
vice president; E. c. Duffy, secretary,
and Miss Eleanor L. Burritt. treasurer

HIGH
FOOTBALL TEAMS
Makeup Of Elevens That Would Be
Formidable in a Game.

This is the season when the making
up Of representative teams OF players OF
certain sections or schools IS In order
All-college teams have been given and
discussion has been had as to their reIa-
tive merits and correctness. Locally.
the high schools had several very good
teams. but the Central High School
which won the championship OF It's Ath-
letic Association, was. Of course. the
strongest.
Several Of the other schools had good
players In various positions. and the
Stars" culled from them would make
a formidable eleven in a game.
Naturally. in the makeup Of the fol-
lowing composite teams the Central
players predominate. A first and sec
ond eleven for all-around strength in
all departments would look like this:
First team-Kelly. c. H. s.. left end.
BaIlenger, T. II. S., left tackle.
Bryan, T. II. s., left guard.
burlington, W. H. s., center.
Goddard. b. H. s., right guard.
Prince (captain), c. H. s., right tackle.
Keiser. B. II. g., right end.
Kipp. c. H. s.. quarterback
MaROfin. G. II. s.. left halfback.
Senior, T. II. S.. right halfback
Cox. C. H. S. fullback.
Second team-GIOetzner, T. "A. s.. left
end
Rittenhouse, W. H. s., left tackle.
Salisbury. G. II. s., left guard.
Mcdonald, G. II. s., center.
Johnson. c. II. s., right guard.
Winbigler, b. II. g., right tackle.
Gedney, T. II. s., right end
Warden. b. II. s., quarterback.
Church (captainJ, W. II. s., left half
back
Snow, c. H. s., right halfback.
Beall. 7. II. s., fullback
The Technical. Business. and Western
High Schools are well represented and
would add strength to any team
With a shifting OF the positions the
following would be the strongest team
possible:
Church. W. II. s.. left end.
Bailenger. T. H. s.. left tackle.
Rittenhouse. W II. S.. left guard
Drum. W. II. s., center.
Beall, T. II. s.. right guard.
Purcell (captain), c. II. s., right
tackle.
Snow. G. II. s.. right end
Kipp. G. H. s.. quarterback
Magof1n. c. II S.. left half.
Senior. T. II. s.. right half.
Cox. G. X s, tulIback-
