WRIGHT DROPS DEAD
ON RECEIVING SENTENCE
Startling Ending of the Sensational Trial of
Whitaker Wright Alleged to Be the
Greatest Swindler of the Age

We're sent for but efforts were una
vailing and he died in an hour after
the sentence was passed.
The news of Wright's death caused
great excitement, and an immense sale

caused by suicide but that proved to
be without foundation.
He is regarded as the greatest
swindler of the age. His victims lost
in excess of hundred million dollars

les he promoted. He organized forty
one companies, with total capitaliza-

RULES CHANGE IN FOOTBALL
Some of the More important Holdings
of the Football Committee.

Changes in football rules for 1904
were made at a recent meeting of the
committee in Philadelphia, directed
more toward simplifying the compli-
Gated game that was produced last
year than to making radical upheavals.
The experiment of practically pro-
hibiting mass plays between the 25-
yard lines proved SO popular, when
thoroughly tested last fall, that it has
been extended to cover the entire field
play Apparently the day of mass
play has entirely passed.
Six men instead of seven will be
compelled to play on the line of scrim-
mage, and this applies at all times,
without regard to the distance from
the goal, but the restriction placed on
the extra man who is allowed to drop
back are such as to prohibit his use,
in the old style of mass plays, as he
will be kept outside the end of the
line, so that he will be available only
for interference or for carrying the
The quarter back will this year be
allowed to run with the ball in any
part of the field, provided he runs the
required distance, five yards, from the
man who snaps the ball. This rule
means the further extension of the
checkerh' trd idea, SO as to cover the
entire l "a.
Probably the most noticeable
change is that made in the value of a
drop or place kick. The new rules
provide that the number of points to be
credited to this play shall be but four
instead of five, as under the old
rules. 1t was the opinion of the com
mittee that five points was putting
too high price on individual playing
and tended too much to detract from
uniform team work.
It was always more or less of an
injustice to permit a lucky kick from
the field to tie up a game in which the
opposing side had scored a hard-earn-
ed touchdown and then missed the try
at goal In future this will be i'm
possible.
The gridiron will present a checker
board appearance over its entire length
next fall, as the quarterback run has
been extended to all parts of the field,
with the same restriction that he must
run five yards to right or left before
advancing the ball. 1t seems as if a
provision could have been made to
produce the same result without neces-
stating so many chalk lines. Many
minor changes have been made which
were aimed either at preventing I'M
necessary rouGhness and unfairness or
to clarity the code, which had become
something Of a contradictory puzzle
even to the experts.

A BAND OF LAND SHARPERS
GATHER IN THE BUNCHES
OF SHEKELS.
Have Selected as Easy Victims Pros

North and South Dakota.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12.-The
government has given warning that
lively at work in several western states
notably Utah, North and South Da-
kota. and also operating to a lesser
extent in the east These sharpers
have selected as easy victims prospec-
tive homeseekers who are greatly
interested in the various reclamation
projects undertaken by the govern
ment.
Ry means of advertisements CleVerly
WOrded, in which they claim to have
secured inside information regarding
the plans of the engineers and by the
display of alleged copies of govern
ment maps and surveys, they have
been successful in dumping many I'M
wary hOmeseekers. For a consideration
of from $50 to 5000, these swindlers
guarantee to locate settlers upon the
best irrigated lands under the gov
eminent works.
Notwithstanding that the govern
ment some time ago issued a circular
warning the people against being taken
in by just such frauds, the sWindling
goes right along, and the sharks are
reaping a rich harvest. It should be
clearly understood that these men
have no inside information. Their
maps are mere township plats or rough
drafts such as can be obtained from
the land office. The sWind1ers have no
data other than any intending settler
can obtain upon request addressed to
the interior department.

projects are Withdrawn from all en-
