TRIED TO DEFRAUD
Chicago Bank Proprietor and Saloon Keeper Must Answer
 to U. 5. Government.

Chicago, Dec 29.-The federal grand jury yesterday returned indictments against Louis A. Gourdain, proprietor of the Imperial bank. Dearborn and Madison streets, and John H. Dalton, former proprietor of north side sa- loon, both accused of using the mails to defraud.
 The indictments accuse them of sell ing fraudulent options on alleged oil lands ill Louisiana. The indictments state that Dalton and Gourdain, acting under the name of the Louisiana State Loan and Trust Go of New Orleans purchased 1000 acres of land in Vim parish, Louisiana, at S1.50 an acre, platted the land into lots twenty feet square and offered options on these plats for S20 each down to 50 cents. These option certificates were made to resemble lottery tickets, and certain prizes, ranging from 50 cents to S5 were paid as bait.
 Monthly lists, purporting to be the lists of prices bid for the oil lands, were sent out to the purchasers of Op- tions. The indictments state that the enterprise was a fraud, that the lots were worth no more than IF cents each. that no oil ever was found on the lands, that no bids had been made and that the assets of the company were 5000 instead of S1,500,O00.

CHAFFEE PLEASED
He Says the Provisions of the New Army Are in Accord
 With His Views.

New York, Dec 29.-Lieutenant-Ge Gen. 'eral Adna R. Chaffee, chief of staff of the army, last night expressed himself as in hearty accord with the provisions of the army bill evolved by the general staff, and now in the hands of the sec retary of war.
 Matters military in this country. ? said the general, naturally mean the outlay of money, but believe it will be worth all it costs to strengthen the military arm of the government by creating as contemplated in the bill a reserve of 50,000 men. By creating this force of men who have served one term of three years and have been honorably discharged, we shall the benefit of the instruction they have re ceived, the proficiency they have at tained in marksmanship, and their re- gard for discipline. It will be possi- ble, with such reserve, to put the army on war footing with seasoned troops. The reservists would be en- listed for five years, during which they would be under pay and always sub ject to a call for service, but in time of peace permitted to follow the avo- cations of their choice"

MARK FOR BURGLARS
Schwartz Brothers Jewelry Store Robbed Seven Times in Three
 Years-Loss $20,00O.

New York, Dec 29.-For the second time within three months and the sev. enth time within three years, the jew elry store of Schwartz Bros at 1868 Broadway. in the heart of the Tender loin district, was robbed early to-day and about S4,0O0 worth of diamonds, rings and watches were stolen. The loss on the seven robberies, according to a member of the firm, aggregates S20.000.
 The robbery was most daring, as this part of the city is the busiest and the most brilliantly lighted throughout the entire night. Working during the height of a terrific rainstorm, the bur glars entered the store by cutting through a steel folding gate that barred the approach to the front door, and then cut through heavy wire screen that protected the plate glass in the front door. They then smashed the half-Inch thick glass to reach their plumber.

Trask of Boston stated that Mrs Chase had told her that pr Chase said he would kill her if he dared.

ENGLISH RUGBY May Take the Place of
 Football. WOODMAN SUGGESTS The Style of Game as Played in New Zealand is the One
 Preferred by This
 Professor.

New York, Dec 29.-English Rugby, not as it is played in England or in Canada, but the style of game adopted by the opponents of the sport in New Zealand, is suggested as a substitute for the game of American football, in a letter addressed by Prof J. Edmund Woodman of DalhOusie university, Halifax, N. S., to the conference of colleges now considering a revision of the game. The New Zealand game. Prof Woodman declares, while devoid of practically all the objectionable fea- lures of the American game, possesses much of what is good in nearly all forms of the sport. He directs atten- tion particularly to the absence of what he calls mob tackling." The game also would give. he says, greater variety of possible plays and strategic situations and few delays by reason of injury to players. It would develop certain fine qualities not called out by the other game, especially qulckness of individual judgment and execution.
 Prof Woodman says that this plan seems to him to be the only possible solution of the present trouble. He believes that any attempt to radically revise the present American game would only result in its destruction. It is essentially a specialized game and he believes 1t would be impossible to successfully despecialize 1t. To abol- ish football he believes would bottle up the energy of the men without provid- ing a counter outlet. Association foot ball Prof Woodman declares to be be- yond consideration. While pretty to watch, it is primitive. Rugby as played in England and Canada has too many objectionable features of the American game. This is due in part, he says, to a prevalence of forward rather than back play. In the New Zealand game the back play predOm- mates.

The pope has been also informed that among the persons presented to him few days ago was an American woman who had been divorced. This irritated the pontiff. who declared that such a presentation must not occur again.
 The officials of the vatican are also recalling that two Americans recently refused to kneel when the pope ap- peared and the persons having auth ority in these matters have been order ed to be more strict In arriving at de- cisiOns upon applications from Ameri- cans for audiences with the pope. American applicants in the future must be recommended by their re- spective bishops or have their appll- cations supported by recognized official here. .-

COLLEGE "GYMo DIRECTORS.

New York. Dec .29-The Society of College Gymnasium Directors con- cluded it's annual conference yester- day.
 Dr Raycroft of the University of Chicago read a paper entitled ''rhe Essentials and Technique of the Phy- sical Examination for Competitive Athletics" He demonstrated that the proper examination of the young man about to take part in college sports was one of vital importance at She present day. and especially when So many had ambitions toward active competition. A majority of the direc- tors, he contended. at the smaller col leges, paid all their attention to the conditions of the heart, while it was just as important that they should likewise attend to the condition of the kidneys. As rule exercise taxes the kidneys to a great extent and they are called on to throw of an amount of waste for. which they are entirely incapable, and this functional over exertion freuqently culminates in the collapse of the youthful athlete.

CONNECTS DECREASE
But the Finances Increase at the Wethersfield State
 Prison.

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 29-The annu al report of the directors of the state prison which was presented to Gov ernor Roberts today says that the daily average population of the insti tuition for the fiscal year ending or September 30, was All That figure dropped below the daily. average count for 1904 by nine and below the annual average for the past five years by sey' enteen.
 The earnings from productive con. vict labor aggregated $55.079 and sup. plementary receipts from various sources swelled the total income tO S5S,737, the fattest figure for any year in the history of the prison.
 The report makes suggestive allus- ions to life convicts and to the ages of offenders. It says:
 'sThe ratio of life convicts continues to be commandingly higher than may be found in most American prisons. Of the 473 prisoners undergoing con finement at the close of the fiscal year not less than 5S, or more than F per cent, of the entire number were serv- ing life sentences. Their ages run from 26 to S9 years. The periods of their individual confinement range from q few months to 46 years, and the aggre, gate length of imprisonment served by them fo0ts up approximately 743 years, striking and melancholy total, which is equivalent to nearly 23 generations of human life and which, translated into terms of history. would cover a span of years beginning more than half century prior to the signing of Magma Charta at Runnymede in 1915 and extending to the close of the war between Russia and Japan.
 With just enough exceptions to prove the rule. this large body of life prisoners is orderly and well-behaved, although not unnaturally the tendency of them to drift into insanity is much greater than obtains among other con yicts.
 Study of the ages of the pi .soners at Wethersfield suggestively indicates the periods of life in which felony is the most likely to be committed. Of the 473 offenders under lock and key at the close of the fiscal year f were under % years old at the time of their admission to the institution, and not less than 252 were under 30. Only 31 were on the sunset side of 90. Of the total number committed during the past decade fully eight per cent were under 20 at the date of sentence and about 5 per cent. wre under 30. Af- ter the age of 30 the proportion of commitments begins to dwindle rapid ly.
 "The comparative yOuthfulness of persons who commit the bulk of seri- ous offenses is a fundamental fact in connection with the problem of crime. The period between 16 and 30 is the criminal age. It is likewise the age of character building Then the func- tional activities attain their maxi. mum: then the fires of passion and of emotion wax hottest: then the spirit of incautious adventure exercises the greatest Influence on the cross pur- poses of life: and then the responsive pess of the individual to his environ ment. whether helpful or hurtful. is promptest. Constantly the fact that q majority of felons are under middle age needs to be recognized in scientific penal management"
