Struggled Chinese.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Charles w.
Stevenson and Edward Baltz, immi-
grafton inspectors, have been summari-
ly dismissed from the service for as
sisting in smuggling four Chinese
across the border at Buffalo, and Civ
ing false testimony at the hearing of
these Chinese. Officials in the depart
ment of commerce and labor say this
is the first time an inspector has been
found guilty of improper conduct since
the exclusion act of 1882, has been en-
forced by the federal government.
1t is said at the department to be
virtually impossible for immigrant
employees to commit irregularities
without almost mediate detection. The
records are kept in such a way as to
make the investigation of graft charges
prompt and easy. The system for
handling Chinese immigration is said
to be So perfect that employees dare
not run the risk of detection by at
tempting irregularities.

TO COME ON OLD LINES.
Rules Committee Did Little to Alter
Condition Governing Football.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. 4.-Tne
American university football season
has again rolled around, and the game
is again to be played on the lines that
for the last three or four years have
stirred up widespread protest from the
public and from many educators Rough
play, brutality" trickiness have all
been charged against this first of
American university games in turn;
heads of important institutions like
President Eliot of Harvard and Faunce
of Brown, have come out in vigorous
and unmistakable terms against the
continuance of the game under the old
regulations; important dailies nave led
in an attempt to reform the game,
yet the game is again to be played
along old lines this year, and the cam
paign for reform will have to be start
ed over again.
The football rules committee met
this year and Went over the situation.
1t collected a large number of opinions
from all sides, and it did nothing of
Importance to change the game and
meet the demand of the public except
in one matter, which was to lessen the
chances for the stealing of the ball
! in scrimmage while it was being
| "downed"
The Camp Dream.
| One of the most important of the
proposed changes, and one that re-
ceived good deal of support from re-
formers of the game, was that the
present Vineyards on three downs be

heightened to ten on the same number
of tries. 1t was believed by football
experts that such change would meet
the objection of most of those who de-
sired to see the game amended and
more open and interesting play made
possible.
Said Yale graduate today, who was
close to the rules committee this year,
on this attempt:
1.-The ten-yarl rule came nearer TO
being a football law this fall than is
generally supposed. 1t was advocated
strongly by such football players as
Stage of Chicago and Camp of Yale.
It might nave become the general rule
this year ha6 there been any assur-
ance on the part of the committee that
the public ana players were for it,"
Said a Yale coach today regarding
the outlook for the coming season:
you will find that, as a general
thing, the players do not want, and
have not wanted any change in the
football rules. They are satisfied to
have them remain as they are The
coaches do not want any change I'M
less the public demand is for radical
reform. The coaches look at the mat
ter rather differently than the boys
who do the playing. The latter have
found that the present game suits
them, gives them chances to dis
tinguish themselves and do not like
to have the old boys interfere

LEFT HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Beatrice Young Arrives and Tells
of Shooting Escapade.

WINONA Mimi, Oct. Airs. Bea-
trice Young, who recently figured in
a shooting escapade in New York city
In which Mrs Kathleen Morgan, stem
ographer employed by her husband,
was the victim, is in Winona on a visit
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Metz, with whom her g.
year-old son has been living for some
time past.
In an interview Mrs Young says she
has not settled upon her future, but
she is determined that the cloud which
is now over her must be dispersed, and
she considers that her desperate act
of a month ago was justified.
It was about four years ago, she
says, while a resident of Butte, Mont.
that She married William G. Young, a
dashing widower. Their early married
life was happy, but after the birth of
their son and their removal to Chi
cago Mrs. Youngs troubles began. Her
husband became infatuated with Ber-
nice Belmont, whom Mrs. Young de-
scribes as a notorious character. The
two went to New York and Mrs
Young was left in want in Chicago.
After a time a reconciliation was
accomplished and Mrs. Young followed
her husband to New York. However
they did not live together happily
Mrs. Young says that five times in
made it up again, he promising to be
a faithful, loving husband. Finally
when almost out of her mind, she shot
Mrs. Morgan.
She declares the decision not to
prosecute the case against her at New
York was the fear that such course
would bring out facts concerning Mrs
Morgan that it was desired to keep
quiet, and that it was planned to re-
move Mrs. Morgan from the state tC
prevent her being a witness, a plan
that she (Mrs. Young frustrated by
giving the information TO District At
torney Jerome.
1t was true there was no prosecu-
ton, but Mrs. Young denies that she
has promised not to return to New
York city. When she left it was with
the understanding she would return as
she felt inclined any time after two
weeks. She is greatly in need of rest
from the severe nervous strain to
remain at the home of ner parents
