WISCONSIN DECLARES
AGAINST DROP KICK
EckersaIPs Work at Madison Has De-
veIoped Strong Badger Sentiment.

Special to The Globe.
: MADISON Wis, Nov. 1.-The rule
that allows one member of football team
to triumph over a superior team by kick
ing goals from the field ought to be modi-
fed" said Coach Arthur Curtis, of the
Wisconsin team. Although Wisconsin is
not perhaps in position to gracefully adj
vocate the change of the rule under which
Walter Eckersall defeated Wisconsin with
his three successful drop kicks, that
game showed plainly how unjust the drop
kicking feature of the present game is. A
drop kick from the field ought not to
count for as much as touchdown, prob
ably not more than two or three points.
In view of the fact that Wisconsin
was the one most injured by this inequit-
able rule this season, / do not think a
movement for a change of the rule will
be started here, but the sentiment is quite
uniform in the East for rules that will
develop open team play and not give over
whelming advantage to the tone man
team that possesses a good kicker. l feel
assured that the change will come"
This sentiment is unanimous at Madi-
son-haS been ever since the Chicago
game 1t developed when Eckersall sent
the first 5-pointer over the goal bar, grew
a little stronger with the repetition of the
feat, scarcely weakened when Wiscon-
sin scored and was firmly established
when the third counting kick came and
the game ended.

PASSES BEYOND
Termination of the Career of
One of Americas Most Sue
cessfuI Business Men.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. Will
liam l.. Elkins, the millionaire
traction nagnate and financier, died at
his summer home at Ashbourne, near
here, tonight, of complication of dis
eases. He was seventy -one years of
age. Mr.. Elkins' illness, which became
alarming three weeks ago, dated from
last spring, when he narrowly escaped
a violent death. "A heavy iron girder,
which was being hoisted to the top Of
a new office buildipg.l at Broad and
Chestnut streets, of Which he was part
owner, fell, just grazing Mr.. Elkins,
who was passing. The shock seriously
affected his nervous system. The i'm
mediate cause of death was blood poi

ton of kidney trouble, rheumatism and

Mr.. 'Elllinsowas born near Wheeling,
w. Va, and came to this city with his
parents at an early age. At the age of
twenty he engaged in the produce bust
ness in New York and was very sue
cessful. Later he embarked in the oil
producing business in Venango- county,
this state. Returning to Philadelphia,
he established several refineries, and
also added to his business the River
side Oil works near Allegheny City. In
1875 he formed a partnership with the
Standard Oil company, which pur-
chased" his interests five years later.
In 1879 Mr.. 1Elkins became identified
with the development of the street
railway service. He formed partner
ship with P. Il! B. Widener, and with
him was afferward associated in all
his business deals. Mr.. Elkins was
one of the ineorporators of the Union
Passenger Railway and Transfer COM
pany in New York in 1885, and in 1886
was among the promoters who supplied
Boston with overhead trolley system.
The following year Widener, Elkins and
the United State Gas Improvement
company, which the deceased capitalist
had helped to- torganize in 1882, pur-
chased sChfcago Gas Light and
Coke compahy.i Later the Widener-
Elkins syndicate secured control of the
street railway systems of Chicago,
Pittsburg, Baltimore and Buffalo. In
1889 Mr.. E1klns' was elected a director
of the DEMONSTRATION company. In
the same. yeap, with Messrs. Widener
and William &c. Whitney, Mr.. Elkins
incorporated the Illinois Electric We
hfcle company, a New Jersey corpora
ton, with capital of $25 1000. De-
spite his many business interests Mr..
Elkins, in 1889, accepted an appoint
ment as a member of the art commits
sion which supervised the decoration
of the national building at the Paris
exposition.
Mr.. Elllins was deeply interested in
the development of art, and in March,
1895, Instituted a prize of S. 900 for the
most meritorfous painting exhibited by
an American artist at the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts. He was
member of the historical, genealogical
and colonial societies Of Pennsylvania,
the Union league, Art and Country
clubs of this city, the Maryland Club of
Baltimore, Manhatta Club of New

JACK MUNROE WINS
Stops Peter Maher i'm Fourth
Round of Fight.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. Jack
Munroe, the Butte miner, stopped Peter
Maher tonight in the fourth round of
what was scheduled to be a six-round
bout at the National Athletic club. Many
of the spectators were of the opinion that
Maher quit as he went to the floor after
a series of blows on tho Jaw and the body.
He took the count and was picked up by
his hackers, who led him to his corner.
The bout was a fierce and bloody one
and Maher was leading until the fourth
round. Both men scored knockdoWns in
the first round, but they were up and
fighting before the referee had counted
three. Shortly before the end of the
round, when Maher sent Munroe down
from a right, Munroe jumped to his feet
and cfinched. Maher tried to shake him
off, but the miner held on until the bell
rang. Both men lost their heads and
kept on fighting after the bell.
Both were aggressive and when the
fight ended they were covered with blood.

now than it had been for years, and
that it's prospects for success at COM
ing elections were excellent. He said

homer for him. The other nominees
Of the caucus are:

TALK LEGISLATION OVER.
President and Senators Making Ur
Their Minds as to Cuba,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Z. = A
conference to consider the work to be
done at the extra session of congress
and to discuss matters of legislation
during the regular session was held
at the White house today between
President Roosevelt and Senators Al
ison. of Iowa; Aldrich, of Rhode Is
land; Cullem, of Illinois; Plat, of Con-
necticut; Hale, of Maine, and Spooner,
of Wisconsin. The conference lasted
over an hour. but it was stated by the
senators on leaving the White house
that the exact form of legislation to
put Cuban reciprocity into effect had
not been decided upon.
The possible differences between the
senate and the house were considered.
All agreed that it would not be wise
to have contest with the house over
the form of legislation, and that an
understanding should be reached 1t
is believed no question will be raised
by senators as to the form of the BILL
and that the legislation will be passed
as speedily as possible.
Members of the house agree that the
bill will contain articles l and of the
reciprocity treaty, the first referring
to the free list and the second to the
20 per cent reduction on certain goods
imported from Cuba The bill also will
enact the provisions of article 8, which
provides that there shall be no further
reduction of duty on sugar from Cuba
or from any other country during the
life of the treaty, which is five years.
Some members of the house desire to
change one provision in this article in
order to assert the prerOgative of the
house as to revenue legislation. The
amended portion of the section pro-
vided that sugar should not be admit
ted at lower rate of duty than the
law of 1897, 'by treaty or convention"
The members of the house wish to
make that provision read law" as
they do not intend to admit that any
thing relating to the tariff can be done
by treaty or convention, but that the
house must originate the measure.
The senate will be inclined to accept
any measure the house may pass that
will put the treaty into effect and will
indorse the eighth article regarding
non-interference with the sugar duty
during the life of the treaty. OF
course, it is understood that one con-
gress cannot bind the next, but it is
claimed by those who do not want the
sugar schedule disturbed that the good
faith of both houses will be pledged
to the treaty provision and that a
change therefore is unlikely.
1t is probable that the president will
transmit to the senate the text of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty with his mes
sage on that subject Tuesday. This
course would obviate the necessity of
a vote of the senate on the question
of making treaty amendments public.

FITZ OLD ENOUGH TO
BE GARDENERS FATHER
Cornishman Was Almost of Age When
Antagonist Was Born.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE difference in
when they meet in San Francisco will be
somewhere between eighteen and TWEEN
ty-two years. Gardner is twenty four,
Fitzsimmons is at least forty-two. and
Creedman, who knew him in Australia,
says he is forty-eight. 1t is safe to say
that the Antipodean is forty-four. He was
almost of age before his antagonist was
born. He had defeated Dempsey and won
the middleweight championship when
Gardner was boy of twelve years. He
was heavyweight champion when the Lo-
! we'll man was a lad of eighteen. Should
the Cornishman win it will be an unparal-
1eled triumph over the handicap that the
passing of youth imposes.

that she did not drink enough to cause
death. Her condition when brought to
