Enforce the Rules.
Philadelphia.-Dr J. William White,
professor of surgery at the University
OF Pennsylvania, and a member of the
committee on athletics, has returned
from Washington, where he had been
summoned to discuss with the Presi-
dent matters relating to football. DR..
White said:
1.-The President did me the honor of
asking me to lunch with him at the
White House for the purpose of dis
cussing with him the situation as to
American football. An article of mine
published in last weeks Outlook was
the occasion of the invitation. AS to
what took place during my visit, the
President has permitted me to say that
we are in complete accord as to the
need of the permanent abolishment of
brutality and foul play; of the increase
of the powers of the officials and of
the severity of the penalties as being
necessary to bring about such aboli-
ton; as to the desirability of careful
consideration of any changes in the
rules that may be required to minimize
danger while preserving the essential.
manly and vigorous characteristics of
earnest effort to secure a simple and
uniform eligibility code for all Ameri-
can colleges and universities, the
President said he 'emphatically be-
lieves in continuing the game
1.-The president added: Brutality and
foul play should receive the same sum
mary punishment given to a man who
cheats at cards, who strikes a foul
blow in boxing. The umpire must have
the widest latitude in enforcing this
principle, even to the extent of order
ing not only individual players, but
whole teams off the field, and college
presidents should hold to the sharpest
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 several colleges
whose teams play together should have
what may be called a gentleman'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
permanent removal from the game not
only of the foul and brutal player, but
OF the man who is not bona fide stu
dent and amateur. 1t would be real
misfortune to lose SO manly and vigor-
Gus game as football, and to avert
such a possibility the college authori-
ties in each college should see to it
that the fame in that college is clean.
The President spoke more than
once of the desirability of continuing
the game and of extending to as many
as possible its sadvantages, with the safe
guard already mentioned. He said that
the five or six leading colleges should
get together and agree to play one
another under such an agreement as he
prescribed. He also spoke of the far
greater relative danger of many other
sports and pastimes, some of which
he enumerated. He showed charac-
teristically keen interest in and thor
ough acquaintance with the whole
subject"

ScOTTY'S MINE is A JOKE.
From Death Valley Laughs
at Him.

RENO, New, Sept. 4.-The mining
men of southern Nevada look upon
the announcement that Walter Scott
has a treasure mine as a huge joke,
probably inspired by the hero of the
coyote special and lacking even
foundation. w. B. Wyrick has ar
rived nere from a prospecting trip
through the Funeral Range and into
the remotest part of Death Valley. He
found plenty of mineral, he says, but
the hardships that must be endured
to reach it are beyond human capac-
ity. There was a rush into the dis
trict, caused by the announcement
that Scotty's mine, bubbling springs
and all had been discovered.
"Wny," said Mr.. Wyrick today, "a
spring in Death Valley would be
worth more than the richest mine In
Nevada If Scotty mad it ne certainly
would use more effort to protect it
than all the mines in that heat-cursed
district. No one in the south believes
he has a mine there. They all think
it is Just a mot air story, fostered by
egotistical Chotty."

BOAT AAo CARGO IS TOTAL LOSS

The freight steamer Jerome of Wen
wrecked in the West Rapids on the
Columbia river, eight miles below the
mouth of Snake river, Saturday af~
ternoon at 4 o'clock. The boat was
coming down the rapids at a speed
of about fifteen miles an hour
when it struck a submerged rock
Two huge holes were torn in the bow
and the steamer began settling i'm
mediately, sinking in about 10 feet OF
water. The wrecking of the boat was
witnessed by Engineer Schubert in
charge of a party of government en-
gineers at work on the river. Schu-
bert Immediately ordered his crew
to man two government scows and
the boats crew was taken off with
out any loss of life.
The Jerome was loaded with 1000
bushels of wheat and it is believed
the entire cargo is total loss as is
the steamer as the position in which
the wreck dies is a dangerous one.
The Columbia at this point is stud
ded with submerged rocks and the
water runs like a mill race. The
Jerome was in charge of Captain
Danalier Of Wenatchee and Chief
Engineer Wheeler. This stretch OF
the Columbia was entirely new to Cap
tain Danalier. The Jerome was on her
way to Cello to deliver her cargo OF
wheat to the portage railway.

at Over SIS 900.

PENDLETON, Ore, Sept. 4.-Fire
at an early hour yesterday morning
gutted the Matlock- k-Taylor block, bet
ter known as the old La Dow build
ms.
Shortly after o'clock in the morn
ing the night clerk of the Golden Rule
hotel, who was standing in front of
the nostelry, on the sidewalk, heard
and felt an explosion, which was SO
heavy that he says it created a jar
where he was standing. Almost in
stantly flames burst from the build
ing across the street and he turned
in an alarm of fire.
The fire department turned out
promptly, but seemed to be disorgan-
lied and it was sometime before
water was thrown upon the flames,
which, by that time, had gained
alarming proportions. After nard
battle the conf1agration was gotten
under control at 2:45.
The explosion which evidently
caused the confagratiOn is unexplain-
able, no one being able to advance
a theory even, as to what could have
expladed in the portion Of the build
ing where the blaze first burst forth.
From appearances it is believed the
flames first broke out in the Pendle-
ton cigar factory or the back of the
Platzoeder meat market. Mayor Mat
lock is of the opinion that the cigar
factory was the starting point.
Howard & Swingle's office, as well
as the cigar factory, is totally de-
stroyed and it is understood that
many valuable papers and plans were
burned. The loss in this fire to A. j.
McMullen. who owned the cigar fac
| tory. is not known, but is expected to
be heavy.
There were several people sleeping
| in the block at the time the fire broke
out but everyone was aroused In
time to escape without injury, al
though several doors which were lock-
ed, mad to be broken in to make sure
that no one was occupying them.
