SWEDEN AND THE
N0RWECIANS
Rum0rs of Threatened Rup-
ture Are Greatly Over
drawn.
Special Cable to The Globe.

Special Cable to, The Globe.
CHRISTIANA, Feb. 6.---All grumors
of a rupture between Norway and
Sweden over the consular service diff
ficulty are the result Of imperfect in
formation as to the tenor Of the nego-
tidtions. The three ministers appoint
ed by each government to conduct the
discussions have succeeded In main
tanning perfectly freely relations. de-
spite the tedious Mature Of the ques-
ton and the strenuous efforts of both
parties to avoid diplomatic defeat.
Thus far the deliberations have turn
ed on the technical points with re-
gard to the relations that would OBJ
tain in connection with separate con-
sular services and a joint diplomatic
service. The political side of the mat
ter remains untouched temporarily.
The negotiations, it is true, have been
suspended, but their early resumption
is considered probable.
Danish reports represent Norway as
getting ready to mobilize its army in
the event Of the ultimate failure of
diplomacy to adjust the dispute and
assert that the NorWegians are great
~ excited. These reports are doubt
less due to the fact that the general
staff is making preparations for the
usual spring and summer eXercices of
the troops. However, there seems to
be considerable difficulty in the way
of fulillment of Norways hopes in
connection with the consular matter.

KID LEE WINS HIS
FIGHT WITH PERCENTE
Chicago Boy Lasts Five Rounds in
Battle With Montana Fighter.

Hugh McMann and Tony Caponi
two very gentle men Of Chicago spoil
ed What would otherwise have been a
very snappy entertainment given by
the Eagles last night. 1t was another
case of great expectations and nothing
doing.
The real event of the evening was
the meeting of kid" Lee, of Montana
and 10 Percente, of Milwaukee. They
were scheduled to go ten rounds, but
half of that number suf1ced for in the
fifth Percente was taking the count
when his seconds threw the sponge
into the ring.
The Alphonse- CASTOR spirit of the
-Caponi match was not no.
ticeable in this affair. In the first two
rounds the hOnors were about all Per-
cente'S. The man from Montana then
started and the gong saved Percente in
the third. He made several wild and
vicious swings in the following two
rounds, but they only parted the heat
ed atmosphere, while Lee kept his head
and delivered the winning punches.
The first contest of the evening was
a siX-round match between Pat Debbs,
the local man, and Jack Calhoun, col
Ored. Three Of the rounds were used
up when the colored lad gave an imita-
ton of a man quitting.
A brief and decisive bout followed
between Henry MoraVeck and young
Ryan. Moraveck landed a somewhat
swift rap on Ryan's jaw in the first
round, which proved the last.
Danny Needham acted as referee.
and in that capacity proved most sat-
isfactory to the great crowd of spec
tatOrS.
Kid Lee was billed for contest with
Jack Potts, of Minneapolis, but the
flour city man sent word at a late
hour that he was i'll. Percente, who
took Potts place, postponed a match
in Milwaukee last night. He was
scheduled for a contest with Tommy
Thompson. which will take place there
Monday night.

HICKEY LEAGUE MEETS
IN CHICAGO TOMORROW
Association viii Make Final Attempt
to Change Circuit.

Tomorrow the magnates of the
American association will gather in
Chicago for their annual meeting
President Hickey called the meeting
for today, but as the meeting is to
be one Of great Importance to the
league, the meeting was postponed
one day to allow two Of the magnates
who could not reach Chicago today to
attend the meeting
The disposition of the ST. Paul club
Is the question of the meeting tomOr-
row. President Hickey has declared
that the association is to place a team
in Chicago, and this announcement has
been repeated by Tebeau, of Louisville,
and Havenor of Milwaukee.
The St Paul team is the team that
has been marked for the transfer. but
the St. Paul team still exists and will
continue to exist if the declarations
OF President Lennon can be relied
upon.
Trouble is almost sure to start when
the magnates meet, for Tebeau and
HaTenOr will be there, and Lennon will
go TO see that snap judgment does not
figure in the work of the league. Have
nor and Tebeau will make a hard fight
to hold Lennon to his promise to trans
fer the team from a money losing town
and Lennon viii insist that the team
remain in st. Paul until he is willing
to admit that there is no possible
chance Of securing a downtown ball
park. Lennon will, if forced, secure
an injunction restraining the asso-
citation from interfering with the st.
Paul franchise, and the local magnate
declares that if fight is started there
Viii be no compromise, as far as he
is concerned.
President Lennon, of the ST. Paul
club, and President Ed Johnston and
Manager Wilmot of the Minneapolis
club, viii leave for Chicago tonight
over the Wisconsin Central. Manager
Mike Kelley will reach Chicago this
morning, and meet President Lennon
at the meeting.

DECLARE AGAINST
FOOTBALL RULES
Head Masters of Schools
Want the Game Mod
flied.

NEW YORK, Feb. "a petition
signed by more than seventy head
masters of schools, representing many
states, looking to the modification of
the present playing rules of football,
has been presented to the intercollegi-
ate football rules committee.
The petition is one phase of the
movement for the abolishment of mass
plays, and had its inception at con-
ference held in connection with the
meeting of the Head Masters associa-
ton in Boston in December last. A
committee was appointed which drew
up the following circular letter:
THE intercollegiate Committee on
Football Rules-Gentlemen: The I'M
dersigned, head masters of schools in
which football is played, take this
method of urging upon your commit
tee the desirability of so modifying the
present rules as to eliminate, as far as
is possible without sacrificing the
game, the Objectionable and danger
Gus features that exist at the present
time.
The objections to these features
have already been made public, and
We are bringing forward no new propo-
sition. We, however, posses public
opinion for showing in detail the eff
fects of the game on those who play
it, and our experience with football
teams made up of boys below the col
lege age shows us, in their extreme
form. the evil results of the game as
at present played.
We also feel, in view of the fact
that the large majority of college play
ers learn the game and secure their
preliminary training on our school
teams, and in view of the consequent
Importance TO college football of haV-
ing the game fully developed in the
secondary schools, that our testimony
as to- the points in question is at least
entitled to careful consideration.
We wish to express in emphatic
terms our Judgment based on expert
ence, that football as at present played
is too severe and too dangerous, and
our belief that it is possible, by modi-
fication of the rules, to develop a style
OF football that will retain the UNIQUE
and characteristic advantages of the
present game without it's most serious
attendant evils.
we present no arguments on the
subject, as these are already familiar
to you. We make no specific SuggeS-
ton, for you are the most competent
ones to decide how the desired result
can be secured. We simply present
our testimony and urge you, in the in
tereSt of college and school athletics,
to take speedy action for the elimina-
ton of the present Objectionable and
dangerous features of football"
The petition was signed by almost
every head master to whom it was
sent, and the signatures represent all
the leading football schools of the East,
as we'll as the champion schools of the
West

in front of him ready to repeat the as- sault. Mir Miller was about to retail ate when a little boy cried: Don't touch him, mister; he's got gum The assailant was Richard Lazarus. a monCmaniac on the subject of whistl- ing. A warrant was sworn out by MT. Miller and Lazarus was arrested last night. All the trouble Lazarus has ever had in this community came about through his antipathy to whistling. He has assaulted several persons. Some of them retaliated by knocking him down but about a year ago one of them caused his arrest and the matter ended by his being sent to the asylum. That is probably where he will go again.
 Lazarus is a laborer and lives in the southern part Of the city. He is the most quiet of men. He has no asso- ciates and he never disturbs one who does not whistle.
