DEEPENING THE DELAWARE
Secretary Taft Declines to Have Pre-
liminary Estimates Made.

Secretary Taft has Informed Representa-
tive Bingham of Pennsylvania that he must
decline to. comply with the resolution of the
Senate of March 3. 1906. requesting the Sec
retary of War to submit an estimate of the
cost of deepeEirg the Delaware river to
thirty-five feet. The Secretary's action is
based on "a report from the chief of en-
gineers that the work called for by the
resolution would Involve considerable ex-
pense, and because of his own opinion that
general legislation of Congress forbids the
making of preliminary estimates involving
any expenditure, under resolution of
either house of Congress.
1t is understood that Representative Bur-
ton of Ohio, chairman of the House river
and harbor committee, opposed the pro-
posed survey under the Senate resolution.
and represented to Secretary Taft that it
was contrary to existing legislation and
practice in such matters.

ALBANY, N. Y, November 25.-The
court of appeals today denied the motion
made in behalf of Albert T. Patrick for an
amendment of the remittitur recording the
courts dismissal of his appeal from con-
viction of murder In the first degree. The
matter Is purely technical, but it was of
great Importance to Patrick. because its
intent was to have the court so amend the
papers as to show that points involving the
appellants rights under the federal Con-
stitution had been passed.
This procedure would have facilitated
Patricks appeal to the Supreme Court of

when he was walking in company with five
girls, four boys seized him, dragged him to
the tracks and tied him there ten min
utes before the southbound Toledo and st.
Louis express was due TO pass that point.
The girls followed and one OF them Enid

scrambled up the bank when the express

intendent OF Schools Douglass who this
morning allowed the boys 10 go with a Sc

the police, and the boys instrumental in
tying his son TO the track were taken TO po-
lice headquarters. where. after promising
that no such pranks would be played in the
future, they were released.

FOOT BALL REFORM
OPINION OF PRESIDENT JORDAN
OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, No
vember 2S.-In response to a telegraphc
query from the Chicago Tribune, asking
for his opinion of the game of foot ball a
Il is played today, President David d.
Starr Jordan replied by wire that in his
opinion it should be entirely abolished in
secondary schols. where the greatest evils
from playing arise. and, further that the
greatest present evils rest professional
ism. NO man." he said, who has not
done a mans work as student should
play: no one should play in more than four
or five Intercollegiate games in a season;
dirty player should be permanently ruled off
the field, and college authorities should
make a gentleman's agreement that each
man using the college name is a bona fide
student and amateur.
The game, with all its faults, has enor-
nous usefulness, and should not be given
up without resolute effort to clear it from
parasites and abuses. For all these, in the
last analysis Indifference of college author
tiles Is responsible"
DIR. Jordan has Just returned from an
extended trip throughout the east, where
he has had ample opportunity of noting the
Widespread agitation against foot bali.
While In Washington he was present at q
conference with President Roosevelt and

Yale Mentors Views.
CHICAGO, November 2S.-The adoption of
rule requiring a team to make ten instead
of five yards in three downs is the remedy
of Walter Camp. Yales athletic mentor,
proposed last night to relieve the game Of
foot ball of its dangers to life and of its
brutality. Mr. Camp is on a visit to Chi
cago.
More open play would be forced on the
teams by requiring ten instead of five yards
In three downs, said Mr.. Camp. THAT
wouid change the character or 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 a sprained
ankle or a broken arm. That is much bet
ter than a blood clot on the brain or other
injuries 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 Scrimmages would be
impossible because It could be seen. If we
can get the game that the spectators
foul play. What Slugging there is now
goes on because the crowd cannot see it.
THE ten-yard rule would allow lighter
men to get into the game. which would be
an advantage that some people are urging.
Il am Inclined to think that there Is
chance for the ten-yard rule to be adopted
by the rules committee. Some of the pro-
posed changes so radical that they
would practically make new game What
We want to do is to preserve the game and
eliminate the Objectionable features"
