CRITIClSING NEW
FOOT BALL RULES

Even before the foot ball season starts
there are rumors of such dissatisfaction
with the operations of the new rule code
that there is talk of another convention
being called in October to make further
alterations in the playing rules. The move
ment is said to have originated in Chicago
and to have the support of the western in
situations. Those in the east who are
closest identified with the game profess ig
norance of any such purpose. and it is i'm
probable that the step would have their
support if it were carried through.
Even though there is general miSunder
standing of the terms of the rules to be
used and much uncertainty in every quar-
ter as to just how they will work out. there
is small disposition to further complicate
matters by altering them again. Such steps
as might be considered would be taken. if at
all. at the meeting to be held at the Murray
Hill Hotel. New York, next Saturday. when
prominent foot ball officials from all over
the country will gather to meet the rules
committee to decide on what construction
shall be placed any doubtful points in
Interpreting the code this fall.
1t is expected that all twelve of the orig
inal members of the rules committee will
attend this meeting. With them will be
such men as Mathew McCIung, DR.. w. II.
Corbin. w. H. Edwards. \. +. Whiting.
John II. Minds. DR.. Nathan Stauffer Everts
Wrenn. Edgar Wrightngton, j. c. Nc
Cracker. l.. de p. Vail Al Sharpe. who
with DR.. Paul ]. Dashed. have done most
of the officiating in the important games
in the east in the last five years. Together it
is expected a pretty clear understanding of
the legal and Illegal forms Of the new game
will be evolved and that the troubles tkat
are anticipated viii resolve themselves
very speedily when the game has had two
or three weeks actual trial on the field.
Taken all in AL SD turday wi!l he a mighty
momentous day !or loot ball. since it will
also mark the beginning of actual play at
practically all the icad!ng colleges in the

TRADE WITH THE TROPICS.
Features in Commerce With the
American Possessions.

For those interested in the possible effect
of free trade with the Philippines or the
farm products of the United States. espe-
cially on the sugar industry, report that
has just been issued by the Department of
Agriculture is Of considerable interest. This
shows that taking the tropical possessions
Of the United States. that is to say, Ha-
wall. the Philippines and Porto Rico. over
IS per cent of their shipments to this coun-
try were made up Of farm products. and in
the case of Hawaii and Porto Rico 80 per
cent of these imports were sugar. On the
other hand. the actual imports of sugar
from the Philippines were trihing. So per
cent of their imports here consisting Of

very important trade in farm products
was done with Porto Rico The value OF
farm products shipped to Porto Rico in
1905 was $4,000 larger than in 1904 and
$500, 600 larger than in 1903. Rice comprised
AZ per cent of the total shipments of farm
products and wheat flour about Is per cent.
The shipments of rice showed an increase
in the annual average from 100000
pounds for 19O0-19O2 to 100000 pounds
for 190s-19O5. or 1923 per cent. Other Items
compounds, hams and pork. sailed and
picked: together they comprise over 20 per
cent of the total shipments.
Showing how even an inf1nitesimal trade
can grow. the little Midway Islands are
an interesting example The growth in this
case was due entirely to the establishment
Of the cable station. this being one OF the
points that the American Pacific cable
touches on its way to the far east.
The shipments to the Midway Islands
from the United States amounted to only
S95 in 1901. but increased to $7.079 in 1905.
The principal items in the trade for 1905
were dairy products, cured beef and pork
and breadstuf preparations. The shipments
of dairy products comprise ID per cent OF
the total exports, cured beef II per cent.
cured pork 13 per cent, and breadstun prep.

The work done yesterday by the Dew

while giving satisfaction to all who are
