more effective way Of marking their

Il suggest that we be as business
like as they were. The library brand
burned into the top Of the volume, the
end seen when anyone reads in your
presence, is the best tab yet invented.
We have in this library many costly
volumes thus marked more than a cen-

volume in this library be thus branded,
the form of brand to be decided by the
book committee. The expense will not

CAMP SUGGESTS OPEN PLAY
Says Ten Yards Should Be Necessary
in Three Downs
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The adoption OF
a rule requiring a team to make ten
instead of five yards in three downs. is
letic mentor, proposed last night to re-
lieve the game of football of it's dangers
to life and of it's brutality.
Mr.. Camp is on a visit to Chicago.
More open play would be forced on
the teams by requiring ten instead OF
five yards in three downs" said Mr.
Camp. THAT would change the char
acter of the injuries. 1t is true that an
open field tackle is the hardest kind of
a tackle. But in open field play the
injuries are usually sprained ankle or
a broken arm. That is much better than
a blood cot on the brain or other in
juries, which occur in the heavy line
plays. There the injuries are more apt
to be to the head and spine.
I'm open play the slugging and dirty
work sometimes done in scrimmage
would be impossible because 1t could
be seen. If we can get the game so
that the spectators can see all of 1t
public opinion will stop the foul play.
What slugging there is now goes on
because the crowd cannot Sc it.
"The ten-yard rule would allow light
er men to get into the game, which
would be an advantage that some peo-
pie are urging.
'I am inclined to think that there
is a chance for the ten-yard rule to be
adopted by the rules committee. Some
of the proposed changes are so radical
that they would practically make a
new game. What we want to do is ia
preserve the game and eliminate tbs
Objectionable features"

CONSIDER AMENDMENTS
TO SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
MERCHANT MARINE CoMMIs sSlON
HOLDS MEETING
Is Composed Of Senators and Repre-
entatives-SeVeral Changes Are
Made in the Measure for the Sake
of Added Clearness
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The mer-
chant marine commission, composed of
senators and representatives. held a
meeting today to consider amendments
to the ship subsidy bill presented to the
last congress. Those present were Sen
ator Gallinger, chairman; Senator
Lodge and Representatives Minor OF
wisconsin and Spight of Mississippi.
The commission took up the revision
of the bill by sections, making several
verbal changes for the sake of added
clearness and precision and limiting the
subventions absolutely to ships engaged
principally in the foreign trade as dis
tinct from the coaStWise commerce from
which foreign competition has always
been excluded. Another amendment
provides specifically that no company
receiving a subVention under the terms
of the bill shall receive any other sub
Vention, bounty or subsidy from the
United States.
Still another amendment requires
that one half of the deck force of ships
receiving subVentions shall be able sea-
men, who have served at least two
years on deck. The commission is con-
sidering the question of providing es-
pecial and extra inducements for Amer
lean vessels to participate more large
ly than now in the carrying trade be-
tween the United States and the Phil
ippines possessions.
The committee will meet again on
Friday.

Loss Too Heavy

'I respectfully submit that this is a
heavier loss than we can afford, either
to endure or to conceal. The total ac-

losses were Sd91. In other words, the
library lost worse than one book for
every four it acquired by gift or pur-
chase. | don't know Of any ordinary

LIBRARY LOSES
10000 VOLUMES
STARTLING LEAK REPORTED
BY LUMMIS
Many Books Stolen While Others Are
Destroyed or Kept by Careless
Persons, Is Report of
Official

The Los Angeles public library has
been robbed of more than 10000 val
liable volumes during the past eight
years is the startling allegation made
by Librarian Lumms in a report to
the library board at q meeting last
night.
These books, according to the report
Of Mr.. Lummis, have not been reported
lost, and In that way the board and the
public have been allowed to drift along
unmindful of the fact that careless
and dishonest people were taking all
the books they could get their hands on.
During the year 1904, according TO
Lummis report, 1850 volumes disap-
peared from the library, some being
stolen, while others were ruined or kept
by careless persons. In 1903 there wat
a total of 5S15 volumes taken.
During the first six months of 1905,
2676 volumes disappeared, yet, accord
ing to the report of Lumms, the annual
reports Of the librarian did not contain
any statement of this.
Lummis' report regarding the loss
of volumes and the method to be used
to stop the leak was as follows:
"There is no hint in the report of
1903 that during that year more than
600 volumes had been lost. Some per-
centage of this is probably due to care .
less bookkeeping. Sometimes the num-
Der of the book is changed. and this
may lead to counting it lost. But
making all allowances, the cold fact
remains that If the last two official
inventories of this library are trust
worthy, the institution has in the last
two years lost nearly $500 volumes, an
average of 1850 a year, and that the
board has not in any way been notified
of that fact.

While Victim Of the Game Is Being
Buried, Faculty Sends Invitations
to Big Schools, Calling
Conference
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.--Almost at the
hour when the body of young Harold
Moore, the Union college student who
was killed in a football game with the
University Of New York team last Sat
rday, was being laid to rest in Ogdens-
burg today, the faculty of the Univer-
sity of New York took definite action
looking to the abolishment of the game
of football as it now is played. Every
college whose football team has ever
played against New York university
since 1885, when the latter's team was
organized, has been invited to take
part in a conference fully to consider
end finally dispose of the future Of the
game.
With the call for the conference went
the announcement that the New York
university delegates will support res
olution that the present game of foot
ball ought to be abolished. The colleges
invited to the conference, nineteen in
number, are:
Union, Syracuse, Hamilton, Wesleyan
High, Rutgers, Trinity Haverford.
Rensselaer, Stevens, West Point,
Princeton, Columbia, Fordham, Ur-
oliHuo, i1uluy cue INONuNSbSlg <AillhCA 81
and Swarthmore.
The invitation which was sent to eacn
OF the colleges suggests the following
questions for considerations:
"Ought the present game Of football
to be abolished; If not, what steps
should be taken to secure its thorough
leform; if possible, what game or
games may be possible in its place."
Each college or university is invited
to send representative of its faculty
and a representative of its athletic or
ganization, making a possible member
