YOST MAKES SUGGESTIONS
Michigan Foot Ball Coach Thinks
slight Changes Arc Necessary
n Rules Are Enforced.

DETROIT, Dec. 2l.-Fielding II. Yost
coach of the University of Michigan foot
ball eleven tonight mailed q letter 70
Walter Camp. chairman of the foot bah
rules committee. regarding proposed
changes in the rules. Coach Yost shows q
dissemination TO agree with Mr.. Camp that
the team having possession Of the bali
must advance IL ten yards In three downs
Yost suggests allowing all the downs for
the requisite ten yards The rule OF three
downs for ten yards, says Yost. would In
a game between two we'll matched teams
develop a mere punting duel
Other suggestions made by Coach Yost
are follows:
Allow five men back OF the line OF
scrimmage,
DO not abolish the low tackle, but legis-
late against the double tackle.
Let the rules stand as at present, as
far as roughing is concerned, but make
the officials enforce them.
Have the officials named by a central
appointing board .,
Make the time of halves thirty minutes
instead of the present thirty-fve minutes.
Regarding roughness in the game Coach
Yost says: .......
In the entire history of foot ball at
Michigan we have never had man seri-
ouslv injured in practicing the game. Re
garding brutality on the field, l can only
coincide most heartily in your views. No
offense. Disqualification is not unreason-
able. There are enough clean, able players
in every school to make up an eleven that
can play the game as gentlemen should.

She is very modest and retiring. though
holding public office, and though inter-
ested in charity to certain extent. she
shuns publicity. over her vigorous pro-
tests. her name had been mentioned in a
paper in connection with her charity work.
She was on South. Omaha car bound
for the home OF some poor people she was
helping. He was on the same car and sit
ting next to her reading about her charity
work. He didn't know her and neither did
she know him. She was anxious to know
what the people thought or girls name
being mentioned in the paper in connec-
ton with charity work. Finally she said:
What do you think of a woman who
would allow her name to he published that
way?" and she pointed to the article he
was reading
II don't think much of her" he replied
at just shows a woman will do anything
to get her name in the paper"
She gasped and he soon learned she was
the woman in the paper.
Without another word he pulled the bell

After six-hour session, without agree

NEW SENATOR TAKES HIS SEAT
John VI. Gearin of Oregon sworn
After Discussion of Form
of Certificate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.--John NJ. Gearin
the newly appointed senator from Oregon,
was present in the senate chamber today
when the senate convened, His credentials
were presented by his colleague, Mr.. Full
ton, but before he took the oath of office
Mr.. Burrows, chairman of the committee
on elections, interposed an objection, say
ing that the certificate OF election was de-
fective in that 1t was provided that Mr..
Gearin shall serve until his successor is
elected" He said that the governor had
no constitutional right to place such a
restriction upon his appointment He,
however, withdrew the objection after Mr..
Spooner and Mr.. Teller had suggested that
the certificate is not without precedent
Mr.. Spooner agreed that the words OBJ
jected to were surplusage but pointed out
that they do not invalidate the appoint
ment which, he said, was regular In other
respects.
Mr.. Gearin was then escorted by Mr..
Fulton to the vice presidents desk, where
the oath of Office was administered. Mr.
Gearin took a seat on the democratic side
of the chamber. He is the first democrat
to occupy a seat in the senate from
Oregon since 1887, when Mr.. Slater retired
from that body.

FIGHT TO SAVE TENDERLO DIN
Efforts of Property Owners to Stave
on Tracks Exerted In
Court Trial.

After the attorneys had stipulated az to
the facts involved in the Goldsmith- Krus
injunction suit against the Union Pacific
to prevent the laying OF tracks at Elev-
enth street and Capitol avenue, argument
proceeded before Judge Troup Thursday
morning.
Attorney w. H. Pennock. associated with
Isador ziegler. for the plaintiffs, admitted
that If the railroad has franchise for
the use Of the streets at the point in
question, then plaintiffs ought not to pre-
vail, but it is the contention of plaintiffs
attorneys that the road has no such
franchise, only a city license or ordinance
and so should be estopped from 'irre-
parably damaging" the property of Gold
smith and Krug
In his answer for the railroad COMPANY
Edison Rich set up that the company did
not admit anything as to tie ownership OF
the property in question but did admit
that Goldsmith occupies the building with
saloon. The answer says the rooms
over the saloon are. to the knowledge of
plaintiffs, occupied by prostitutes, who
carry on an unlawful business. 1t is al.
legged in the answer that the railroad is
proceeding under authority granted by an
ordinance passed by the city council on
December . and u.
In his argument Mr. Rich contended that
in any event the railroad is among the
corporations that have the right to the
use of the streets, within reasona BILE
limits, when necessary to the conduct of
their business, even against the protests
of property owners. He pointed out that
the extension of tracks being made at
Ninth street and Capitol avenue will not
go inside the sidewalk line and will leave
ten or twelve feet OF space between a
passing car and the Goldsmith saloon.
Mr.. Rich effectively called attention to
the fact that the advent of the tracks
meant the complete transformation of a
district whose only industry is prostitu-
ton of character into a district of laud-
able business enterprises, such az would
be boon to Omaha.
At the conclusion of the arguments the
attorneys for plaintiffs agreed to submit a
brief to the court on Saturday. Mr. Rich
said he would submit u reply brief next
Monday. Judge Troup will give his decl-
sion after reading the briefs and will not
delay the ruling any longer than necessary.
