The TRUTH ABOUT

Only a Small Percentage Of Fatal

snecial to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines Iowa, Dec. 15-An investigation
OF each reported fatality from football made
with considerable care shows that In many
eases reports OF death contain glaring lnaceura-l
cies. Many deaths charged to football are not
due to that game at all OF thirteen reported
deaths inquired into, only hye are ionnd 10 nase
Some of those who died were never IN loot

investigat ton proves in a measure that the at
tacks on football are not justified by the facts
and are unjust to the game as it is now played.
The following are the cases investigated and
synopsis of the report made on each case:
James Mahan, Pacific Grove Co., reported to
have been killed in game at Monterey. The
following statement is sworn to by c. II.
Meeker, principal of the Monterey school. and
Albert Morse principal of the Pacific Grove
school: flames Mahan member Of no
football team, high-school otherwise. On Nov.
the Fifteenth United States regiment and the
Leland Stanford university second team played
a game at Monterey. Several boys about Ma

ball, not in the game, and one with the ball
under his arm started to run. Mahan gave

principal of the Council Bluffs high school,
writes:

COLUMBIA WANTS PANAMA
Asks Plebiscite Of New Republic
Suggests New Deal.

Washington, Feb 10-Fres Reyes of
Colombia, has transmitted to the state
department through William w. Russell
the American minister at Bogota. a NOM
orandum having for its purpose the re-
establishment of friendly relations be-
tween the United States and the South
American republic These proposals in
substance are:
l. The republic OF Panama to be per
mitted to vote on the question to
whether or not she shall return to Colom-
ba.
2. If Panama should vote to remain in
dependent then the United States to buy
from Colombia at d liberal price the is
lands of San AndreaS and San Luis
3. The canal zone in any event to re-
main the property OF the United States.
The first OF these suggestions that a
vote be taken in Panama was suggested
by Secretary Hay in his note of Jan. l..
1901. to Gen. Reyes. While no determine :
ton has been reached by this govern
ment on any of the proposals, the indiCa-
tons are that none of them will he ac-
cepted. 1t is pointed out at the state de
partment that conditions have greatly
changed in Panama since Sec. Hay Sug-
gested a plnhiscite in Panama. That this
country should not suggest to Panama
that she take a vote to decide whether or
not she should return to Colombia is re-
garded here as rather farcical. Ii is felt
though expression is not given to the SEN
timent. that Colombia is rather belated
in her endeanors to get something out of
the general Panama diplomatic melee.
Concerning the purchase OF the San An
| dreas and San Luis islands little enthus-
iasm is manifested. The wisdom of such
n purchase has not made itself clearly
apparent to the administration. The Pres
ident and See. Hay are considering the
proposals. hut che would he a bold man
who would venture to suggest when any
definite action might he expected" It can
be taken for granted that the first propos
al touching the plehiscite will not he ac-
cepted, since this government has no pow
er to enforce such a thing, and the Pan
amanS have shown no eager desire to re
