at TIlNO TIC
New York, July 18-From a direc
tor of the Equitable Life Assurance so

Ryan, who recently purchased the
stock holdings of James H. Hyde, has
made an agreement with the three
trustees of the Ryan holdings and the
newly elected directors to sell the
stock he purchased back to the Equit
able society.
This sale is to be made and as soon
as possible, it is stated, and Mr. Ryan
has agreed to turn it into the society
thus thoroughly mutualizing It, for the
same sum he paid for it, $2,500,000
plus per cent interest, between the
dates of his purchase and the sale.
It was stated that a number of the
newly chosen directors, those selected
by the trustees, Grover Cleveland
Judge Morgan J. O'Brien and George
Westinghouse, accepted posts in the
directorate only after they had beer
assured most emphatically that such
an agreement was in view and that
such an agreement existed between
Mr. Ryan and the three trustees.
There was a meeting of the execu.
tive committee OF the society yester
day but at its conclusion Chairman
Morton said there was no business OF
any moment transacted.

FOOTBALL MADE PAINLESS.

This is an age in which painless
surgery and dentistry are being
almost perfected by the medical
authorities who have given this
work a careful study. II seems
probable that an attempt will be
made to lesson the roughness and
pain of football. Though this
game is not the outcome of natural
conditions imposed upon Us by
nature, as surgery and dentistry,
vet it is liable to be with the
human race as long as the debt
which nature collects from us
promises to be. Ever since the
history of man gives an insight to
his actions we read Of the sport;
the hardy and generally the cruel
sport, he has INDUCED in from
time to time, first taking form in
the gladiatorial combats of Rome.
This became so repulsive, as civil
ization awoke, that this form oil
cruelty was prohibited. But the
| Unsuitable desire Of man for excite.
ment could not be without sport OF
some kind so the gladiators gave
way to our modern football men,
and the game Of today really came
from the dark ages. We read oil
it long ago in England during the
reign of Edward III when a statute
was enacted to prohibit its brutal
! ity. Henry VIII and Elizabeth
passed laws against it making i'm
prisonment the penalty. But still
it has survived.
From the many attacks upon il
of late il seems very likely thai
some very radical changes will be
made in the game, lift lives, and
there is little doubt that il
will. The points which have
caused the rules committees and
the leading men Of sport to recog
nize these protests have been, MOI
the usual cruelty Of the game, but
the slugging and unfair tactics
which the public hardly ever see
Mr.. Reid, Harvard's head coach
is the first football man of the time
to openly side with President
Roosevelt and President Eliot. Sc
no doubt the game will be changed
and the country will enter upor
an era Of football, If not altogether
painless, at least much modified il
roughness.-The Battalion.

native Texan, having been born in
Houston when it was only smart

suit Of attending local schools and
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, where his first military
and industrial ideas were implant-
ed. His nature, aptitude and
mental vigor formed a soil in
which the young ideas grew to
wonderful development and today
he is properly considered one Of
the fret men OF Texas. His name
mentioned in connection with
gubernatorial honors has always
created the heartiest enthusiasm,
and but for his own modesty he
might have been in the race and a
winner a few years ago. Shortly
after his return from college he be-
came Unidentified with the Houston
Light Guard and later became
Captain, backed by the solid sup
port of that company in those old
days for anything he wanted in
military, civic, social, political or
business life. After a few years
with the company he retired from
active work. At one time he was
financial agent Of the penitentiary
for few years and resigned to en-
gage in private business. Under
this head he was interested in a
lumber mill at Hyatt, Tex. He is
now one of the joint receivers of the
Kirby Lumber Company, head
quarters In this city, where he has
beautiful home at 1904 Crawford

the head of charming family COM

children. He has large realty hold.
