nine cars, demolished the two rear

The wreckage caught fire and some
of the passengers were incinerated.

a most aggressive fight against convic-

wishing to take his bride TO see his faith
er in Chicago, George Frances, recently
married in Denver, Travelled inside
small trunk. Mrs. Frances went in
tourist sleeper, with the key to the
trunk in her pocketbook. The trunk
was bought at a second hand store in
Denver. A hole was bored in one end,
and strong cross pieces v ere placed on
the inside for the inmate to cling to
when he was tossed around by the bag
gage smashers. After putting in bread
and meat and a can of water, Frances
crawled inside and his wife locked and
strapped the trunk. When nearing
Omaha the baggageman. while checking

the Indians, went into their country

PRESIDENT ROOSEvELT'S
FOOTBALL REFORM PLATFORM.

DR.. J. William White, professor of
surgery at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, has presented Theodore Roose-
velt's football reform platform in
statement authorized by the president
DIR. White was the Presidents guest
after the famous conference of college
coaches was held at the White House
and the statement embodies the Presi-
dents views expressed on that occa-
sion.
1t took the form of Il sort of gen
tlemen's agreement among the re-
sponsible authorities of leading col
legeS, as follows:
First-A simple and uniform eligibil-
ity code for all American colleges and
universities.
Second Summary punishment for
brutality and foul play.
Third-Umpires to be given widest
latitude in enforcing rules against bru-
tally.
Fourth--College presidents to hold to
strict accountability umpires who permit
foul or brutal play.
Fifth--Permanent removal from the
game not only of the brutal player but
of the player who is not bona fide stu
dent and amateur.
Brutality and foul play, however,
should receive the same summary punish
ment given to a man who cheats at
cards, who strikes foul blow in boxing.
- l. IL, H. La
tude in enforcing this principle. even to
the extent of ordering not only individ
ual players but Whole teams off the field,
and college presidents should hold to
the sbarpest 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 sew
eral colleges whose teams play together
should have what may be called a gen
tlemen'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 per-
manent removal from the game not only
of the foul or brutal player but of the
man who is not a bona fde student and
amateur.
1t would be a real misfortune to lose
so manly and vigorous a game as foot
ball, and to avert such a possibility the
college authorities in each college should
see to it that the game in that college
is clean.

The dance hall is conducted by Paul

papers found on the dead man and from
information obtained from nine prison
ers, two of them women. who were ar
rested after the murder, the police learn
ed that the quarrel started over cleo
ton affairs. One of the prisoners had
a marked ballot of the last election in

the barroom of the Little Naples during
revolver battle. Bernard Escotte, the
bartender, and one of those under arrest
SAID The fight started when four mem

is hostile to the Kelly gang entered the
room after midnight. One of the men
exclaimed: MY best friend was shot
mere Tuesday morning. Are there any
OF you here who knows how to shoot?
II you do I'd like to have you begin"
Inc challenge was accepted and in the
battle which followed fifty shots were
hred When the officers arrived Har-
