Foot Ball Coaches
RIsTINE REMAINS AT AMEs
Pom College Will Lose None of Her
Players and zaIusky Will Have
Charge of the Team-outlook for
Better Foot Ball In Next Year Is
Good-News Of the State.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. 2O-There will be
practically no changes in the coaching
of the principal foot ball teams in
the state next fall. At Ames, Normal,
Penn and the State University the men
who had charge Of the teams during
the past season will he retained At
Drake Heston has been offered his po-
sition at an advanced salary but he
has not yet decided to accept. and 1t
is rumored that he will begin the prac-
tice of law this winter and retire def
initely from the game. Considerable
surprise has been felt in state sporting
circles over the employment of Ris-
tine at Ames. Following the Ames-
Iowa game last fall, which was the
fourth straight victory for the state
university against Ames with Ristine
coaching the agriculturalists. it was
freely predicted that the Harvard man
had spent his last year in the game in
Iowa.
Penn College, which made q, remar-
kalble showing will loose none of the
players on this years team and Ia
husky has been elected to bring. out the
men next season. Predictions have
been freely made since the close Of the
season that the minor school would
break into the ranks Of the head liners
in the state next season and their man
ager is now making arrangements for
schedule that will bring them
against Drake, Grinnell. Ames and
Iowa in addition to the minor games.
Hinshaw, this years full back, has
been elected captain.
Over at Drake, Taylor who was con-
ceded the position of all state college
quarter has been elected to lead the
team and at Anes Jeanson, another
quarterback has been given the same
position. Casey, Normars big tackle,
will lead Doc Pell's bunch and at the
state university another tackle,
Schwinn, will hold the position. Adj
vices from all of the principal schools
Of the state indicate that they will be
stronger than any previous season.
The freshmen teams this year have
been uniformly strong and great
deal of really good material has been
brought out. No school has announced
their games for next fall as yet and it
is not probable that they will until
after the state university has picked
it's dates. Manager Jones of Iowa will
probably insist that the most of the
state games shall be played in the ear
ly part of the season.

Nothing Known There of contemplat-

Special to Times-Republican.
Clarion, Dec. 20.-Nothing Is know
here of any contemplated removal
the Great Western division from tn.
point to Fort Dodge. 1t is believe
here that the wish of Fort Dodge to
have the shops and division point re-
turned is father to the thought. So far
as known here the. present condition is
satisfactory to the Great Western and
it is believed there is no intention on
the part of the Great Western man
agement to make a change.

There Is some misconception on the

pardon Many people think they are
synonymous. Al man is paroled when
he is given his freedom before his
term is expired. He is paroled or CIV

report regularly and keep out of trouble
as a good citizen should. If he vio-
lates the terms of the parole he can be
returned without a new trial. A par

Keeping Prisoners in Ludlow

poses of Blackmail.

New York, Oct s.-Ludlow street
Jail in New York city is a blackmail-
ing institution, according to Sheriff
changers statement before the board
of estimates.
Il know that Ludlow street iail."
said the sheriff, through the civil pro
cess. is the champion 5lackmailing in
stitutiOn of the United States. = know
of one case where a man was impris
oned for a breach Of promise in a suit
for SO, 600, and the people who put him
in jail compromised for ST, and that
81 was divided among three persons.
I believe that nine out of ten of
the civil prisoners who are sent 10
Ludlow street Jail are there through
process Of blackmail The system is
all wrong, to the shame of the legis-
latE-e"
Mr.. Erlanger asked for $780, $50 for
the annual expenses of the jail Nine
prisoners. he said, was the greatest
number there had been in this Jail at
any one time during the past year
and at present the jail has three. They
are guarded and cared for by one war
den. eleven keepers, two engineers, two
cooks, and a laundress.
After this acknowledgment by the

BOY HELD FOR RANSOM
Returned to His Home After an
Absence of Twelve Days.

New York. oct. 6-The abandon
ment of Tony MarendinO by the per
sons who had kidnapped and held him
for ransom, and the return of the little
Italian boy to his parents which took
place last night has given the police
no clew to the kidnapers. So impress
ed with fear of the persons who had
stolen him was the little fellow that
he either could not or would give no
other description of his captivity than
a mass of confusing contradictions out
of which the police could extract
nothing that would point to the identi-
ty of his ca9tOrs. He had even been
so schOOled by them that he called
them papa and mamma" but de-
clared upon closer questioning that
the were not his real parents.
The boy. who is six years old, was
found on a Third avenue trolley car
last evening where he had been ADAM
doned by two men. He was turned
over to the police who recognized him
as the son of an italian contractor in
Brooklyn. He had been missing
twelve days and in the meantime his
captors had endeavored first to extort
$500 and then $4,000 in ransom from
his parents.
In response to the questioning of the
police the boy said he was taken from
his home by two men "who shoveled
dirt for his father" They took him,
he said. to his cousins house in New
York, where he had a good time.
Although the child told the police
many things of seeming importance,
he would contradict them in the next
sentence. The police are mystihed by
the conduct of the child's parents. In
reply to one question by the police the
child said that he had been at his
fathers home yesterday, but when his
father, who was present, spoke to him
angrily, he contradicted himself. The
police believe he is schOoled to make
confusing replies. They also believe
that the manner in which he was
abandoned indicates that the man who
held him for ransom also had some
thing to do with the abduction of Tony
Mannino more than a year ago. The
Mannino boy was abandoned on a ferry
boat and could give the authorities no
clew to his abductOrs.
