ROUGH FOOTBALL
PRESIDENT DISCUSSES su6JEcT
WITH COLLEGE PROFESSOR.
WOULD ABOLISH BRUTALITY
Wants Game Continued. With Foul
Play Eiiminated-coiieees Should
Have a Gentleman's Agreement to
Enforce the Rules.


Philadelphia.-Dr ]. William White,
professor of surgery at the University
of Pennsylvania. and member of the
committee on athletics. has returned
from Washington. where he had been
summoned to discuss with the Presi-
dent matters relating to football. Dr..
White said:
The President did me the honor OF
asking me to lunch with him at the
White House for the purpose of dis
cussing with him the situation as to
American football. An article of mine
published in last weeks Outlook was
the occasion of the invitation. AS to
what took place during my visit. the
President has permitted me to say that
we are in complete accord as to the
need of the permanent abolishment of
brutality and foul play; OF the increase
of The powers of the officials and of
the severity of the penalties as being
necessary to bring about such aboli-
ton: as to the desirahility of careful
consideration of any changes in the
rules that may be required to minimize
danger while preserving the essential,
manly and vigorous characteristics of
the game, and as to the urgent need of
earnest effort to secure simple and
uniform eligibility code for all Ameri
can colleges and universities, the
President said he 'emphatically be
lieves in continuing the game
The president added. Brutality and
foul play should receive the same sum
mary punishment given to a man who
cheats at cards who strikes a foul
blow in boxing. The umpire must have
the widest latitude in enforcing this
principle, even to the extent of order
7t,as
whole teams off the field, and college
presidents should hold to the sharpest
accountability the umpire who permits
foul or brutal football in any game.
We want simple rules, not complicated
rules. because complicated rules offer
TOO many loopholes. The responsible
authorities of the several colleges
whose teams play together should have
what may be called a gentleman's
agreement among themselves that
these rules shall be enforced in spirit
as well as in letter, each being held
responsible for what goes on in his
own college and each seeing to the
permanent removal from the game not
only of the foul and brutal player, but
OF the man who is not bona fide stu
dent and amateur. 1t would be a real
misfortune to lose so manly and vigor-
GUS a game as football. and to avert
such a possibility the college authorl-
ties in each college should see to 1t
that the fame in that college is Clean
The President spoke more than
once of the desirability of continuing
the game and of extending to as many
as possible its advantages. with the safe
guard already mentioned. He said that
the five or six leading colleges should
get together and agree to play one
another under such an agreement as he
prescribed. He. also spoke of the far
greater relative danger of many other
sports and pastimes. some of which
he enumerated. He showed charac,
teristically keen interest in and thor
ough acquaintance with the whole
subject"

CONTEMPT CASE.
Senator Patterson Files His Answer in
Supreme Court Proceedings.

Denver.-The News of Tuesday
morning says: THE answer of Sena-
tor Patterson in the contempt pro-
ceedings against him in the Supreme
Court was filed yesterday at 2:30
O'Clock. The further proceedings will
await the movements of the attorney
general. That officer indicated when
the motion to quash the information
was decided that he would insist upon
speedy and final action in the case.
Senator Patterson's attorneys will
probably be notified by him to-day the
steps he proposes to take.

in which the Supreme Court played no
inconsiderable part. The News is
content to place the document in fun
before the public and TO allow it's
readers to form their own conclusions
as to the justification for the cartoon
and articles in question"
In commenting on Senator Patter-
sons answer the Republican says:

either stands as inimical to individual
interests or Senator Patterson has
placed himself in most unfortunate
position. So grave and far reaching
are the charges that they have no
business in an answer for contempt
If they are true, they should furnish
the basis for impeachment proceed
ings."

Union EnaIneera for eurIInaton.

Chicago.-The management of the
Burlington railroad, after twenty
years opposition. has recognized the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and has signed the first wage scale
with that organization since the great
strike of the engineers in 1885.
The hostility OF the Burlington road
to the brotherhood was the result OF
the engineers strike of 1856, when
1.400 men deserted their engines.
Paul Morton. then in the Burlington's s
service, had charge of the strike for
the railroad and won the most stub
born battle in the history of the
brotherhood.

instruct the farmers in the vicinity of
Cheyenne in the matter of dry farm

hold of the work. He has made an in

ditions existing in Wyoming and
has found that We have more rainfall
than in the country where he has been
carrying on successful operations dur
ing the past few years. He said to the
editor of the Republican that we had a
great country here and did not know
it: that If the farmers would follow his
instructions in the matter of selecting
seed. planting and cultivating there
would be no question as to the result.
He was greatly surprised that farming
had been carried on to such limited
degree in Wyoming.-Laramie Repub-

Owing to the backwardness of the
season and the consequent impoverish-
ment of the cattle and sheep of Colo
rado the State Board of Stock Inspec-
ton Commissioners at a meeting May
18th decided to extend the time when
the dipping regulations should go into
effect from June LIST to July LIST.
In an order issued some time ago the
board made it mandatory upon the
stockmen of that portion of Colorado
lying east of the summit of Medicine
Bow range. Larimer county, the west
line of Boulder, Jefferson, FL Paso. Pu-
eblo. Huerfano and Las Animas coun-
ties. and that part of Fremont county
lying east of Canon City, to dip their
cattle on or before June LIST.
Since that order was issued reports
have been coming in to the board from
cattle men from all over the state. say
ing that owing to the lateness of the
season, which has kept the grass from
growing, their stock was in no condi-
ton to be dipped, and that an enforce
ment of the regulation would entail
upon them serious loss. An extension
of time was, accordingly granted, but
otherwise the order must be complied
with most rigidly.
The board is determined to stamp
mango and scabies out of Colorado, and
under the new law their enlarged pow
ers give them great authority.
w. D. button of Pagosa Springs was
appointed sheep inspector for Archu-
leta county. The meeting was the first
regular monthly meeting of the board
since the reorganization, May list.
