make any changes in the rules what.
ever, but it is probable that the whole
field will be covered and general rec
concentrations passed. The main ques-
ton to come up is that of whether or
not another down shall be allowed to
gain ten yards or whether a compro-
mise measure is not advisable. There
is a distinct difference of opinion as
to whether or not fourth down shall
be allowed. Yet the absolute inability
of team to gain ground by any form
of straight running has been so en-.
phasized in games between elevens Of
nearly equal strength that some relief
is demanded The question of how to
afford that relief is as important and
persistent as last year, when the for
ward pass and onside kick we're in
voked to secure relief. Though both
have added to the attractveness OF
the game, each has failed in its real
and the rule makers must
consider how they may encourage
ground gaining without returning to
the old grinding, smashing game.

WASHINGTON WOULD
WELCOME BRYCE
AS BRITISH AMBASSADOR mo
OFFICIAL EXPRESSION HAS YET
BEEN MADE.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, Dec. 21.-Sir Henry NJ
Durand, the retiring British ambas
sador, has arranged to sail for home
with his family the last of next week,
Mr. Esme Howard, who will be the
British charge d'affaires until the APP.
pointment of an ambassador, is ex.
pected here within a day or two.
Though, of course, there has been
no official expression of opinion, it is
pretty well known that this govern.
ment would welcome the appointment
of James Bryce to succeed Sir Henry
NJ. Durand. 1t is but natural that Mr..
Bryce should be preferred to any of
the others who have been mentioned
as possibilities for the vacant post, for
the reason that none of them is so
well known on this side of the Atlantic
as the famous author of the American
Commonwealth"
1t is scarcely an exaggeration to say
that James Bryce, more than any other
person, has exercised his influence in
the direction Of a closer union between
the United States and Great Britain.
Perhaps no man living in foreign lands
knows the American people-their as
pirations, their history and their pos
sibilities-so well as does Mr.. Bryce,
who possesses a peculiar talent for the
philosophy of history.
Mr.. Bryce is IAN Irishman born"
He is native of Belfast, and is in
his 69th year. His early education
was secured in Glasgow, but he stud
led later at Trinity College in his ma
tive land, and graduated with honors
at Oxford in,1S62. He has from the
first been a notable man. Even in his
college days he won scholarships and
prizes for which hundreds of others
strove in vain, and in his mature
years he provided his friends with no
disappointments. 1t would hardly be
fair to say that Mr.. Bryce is an ardent
disciple of the Anglo-American alliance
theory, but he has presented the case
of the United States so well that the
Briton has steadily ad.
yanced in his desire for a reuniting
of those racial bonds which the Amer
lean Revolution so rudely threatened

Shortest Day of the Year.

Special to the Herald
Washington, Dec. 21.-Winter is at
hand. Automatically it will make its
appearance in this vicinity at / p. m.
tomorrow, the sun and earth at that
time being in the minimum point of
separation.
Today, in the northern hemisphere,
is the shortest day in the year. In tho
southern hemisphere this is the long.
est day in the year.
The seven days preceding and the
seven days following the shortest day
light of the year were called by the
ancients the halcyon days" This
phrase, so familiar as expressive Of a
period Of tranquility and happiness. Is
derived from fable that during this
period, while the ldnglisher OF halcyon
bird was breeding, the sea was always
calm. According to poetic fiction, the
bird was represented as Matching her
eggs in a floating nest in the midst OF
waters.

TO FORM A BIG
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
PRESIDENTS AND OFFICERS OF
BIG INSURANCE COMPANIES IN
THE MOVEMENT.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Dec. 21-The presidents
and other officers of many of the lead.
ing life insurance companies of the
country met in conference here today
TO take the initial steps for the forma-
ton of a national association. The
conference was called by President
Paul Morton of the Equitable Life,
who, in his call for the gathering,
stated it as his belief that it is just
as essential for the executives of the
life insurance companies of the United
States to have a national association
as it is for the fire underwriters, life
insurance actuaries, national bankers,
and physicians of the country, or any
other body of intelligent men to have
similar associations.
The objects of the proposed asso-
citation are stated to be:
To promote the welfare of policy
holders.
To advance the interests of life in
surance companies in the United
States by the intelligent cooperation
of officers in charge.
To prevent extravaganza and reduce
expenses by encouraging uniformity of
practice among life insurance compan.
les in matters of general administra-
ton.
To consider carefully measures that
may be introduced from time to time
in legislative bodies, with a view to
ascertaining and publicly presenting
the grounds which may exist for OPP
posing or advocating the proposed leg.

the companies and their policy hold.

the other.
To consider anything that may be
suitably a matter of general concern

CUT HIS THROAT.
Indiana Man Killed Himself While
Trying to Shave.

Muncie, Ind, Dec. 2O.-The theory
that Kirby Heinsohn, a wealthy man
here, inflicted a fatal wound while try.
ing to shave himself in his sleep at
Sylvester, Ga, Sunday, is advanced by
members of the committee of Elks
who accompanied the body home. ].
H. Westberry, cashier of the bank at
Sylvester in which Heinsohn is inter.
ested, says that Heinsohn was taken
i'll last Friday. He worried because he
was unshayen and decided to shave
himself Sunday morning. 1t is said
he arose and went to the bath room
half asleep and returned to his bed
with the razor, and the determination
to shave being on his mind he drew
the razor across his throat, cutting the
jugular vein. Too weak to speak. he
wrote on a paper that he did not know
what he was doing. as he was asleep.

DAvIDsoNs MANLY ATTITUDE.
Refuses to Fall Into the Bailey Trap
His Actions.

Austin, Texas, Dec. 20.-It is noticed
that Bailey is saying many mean
things about the attorney general, in
the hope of getting this official into a
political slirmish with him and there
by divert public attention. Judge Da-
wilson absolutely refuses to be brought
into the contest, as he is not on trial,
ahA-does, not Intend to allow Bailey to
put him on trial
He has given the people of Texas
the benefit of his information brought
about by the proceedings against the
Waters Pierce Oil company. 1t was
the purpose of the State to simply
show the relationship between the Wa
tiers Pierce and the Standard, that the
documents were called for, and moth
ing else. Judge Davidson asked for
them in the discharge of his official
duty, and in doing so happened to find
some soiled linen, with Bailey brand
thereon
The documents were asked for on
Tuesday evening and the case was not
continued until Friday afternoon. Dur
ing the interim the defense occupied
its time in trying to set aside certain
dispositions, and when they lost out in
this effort then play for continuance
was made.
But there is no use to go on with an
explanation like this after the San An
tonic admission on the part of Bailey.
This pales into insignificance when put
alongside the s156.OOO Pierce security

in story of the most brutal murder
in the annals of Missouri.
Carnie Parsons, his wife and three

south of the town of Licking, on the
night of October u last. The discov-

from an axe. Both bodies were found
secreted in a patch of woods near the
roadside. Hamilton was arrested at
his home near Licking. In his confes-

bushes. He then mounted one OF the |
Parsons mules and attended revival
meeting several miles distant. This
action led to his arrest lne following
