HURDLING LEADS
TO DIFFICULTIES
Middle West Experts Decide That
When a Man Is Down or on His
Back Player May Leap
Over Him

Local football men were somewhat
puzzled during the recent U. S. C.-Occi-
dental game when very strict penalties
were inflicted for hurdling AS is we'll
known hurdling is barred according to
this years rules, but more or less trou-
BILE has resulted throughout the coun-
try.
The U. S. C.-occidental game gave
rise to many Of the same instances
which are quoted and a partial ac-
count of the Chicago-Purdue game of
last Saturday which follows:
One of the difficulties of the new
football rules, made evident to every
one who attended the Chicago Purdue
game on Saturday, has been settled by
mutual agreement of the officials who
have been chosen to take part in most
of the important games of the west
this fall. The question of when hur-
ding is not hurdling, the all important
issue, has been set at rest.
A conference of Referee Hackett,
Umpires Mccormack and Hadden,
Head Linesman Jack Hollister and
Coaches Stagg and Witham was held
after the game and the point was dis
cussed. inasmuch as the issue had come
up SO many times during the game and
there seems so much diversity of
opinion involved.
The result of the meeting was an
agreement for the Interpretation of the
rules regarding hurdling, which will
make all future games in which any
of these four officials participate GER
tain of proper regulation.
1t was decided the word "hurdling"
in the rules must be accepted accord
ing to the old Interpretation. When a
man is down on his back or face a man
carrying the ball has right to jump
over him; but when man is in any
way on his feet and the runner at
tempts to jump over him 1t will be
construed as an attempt to hurdle, and
the penalty in this case, win be in

On Atlanta Race Riot
Continued from Previous Page.

The lid of the volcano was off
at last.
: Monstrous things we're done
in the name of retaliation. Old
and young negroes good and bad
innocent and guilty, were cut
and slashed and killed. To every
plea for mercy was shouted back
the fierce response. you had
no mercy on our women, and
we will have none on you"
Six negroes were killed aud
more than thirty injured. The
press dispatches have told you
of it.
To the tranquil readers Of the
World, looking on at a great safe
distance, it seems al Wful out-
rage against civilization, and no
thoughtful citizen fails to deplore
and condemn it. But if one OF
you who read had lived for one
week with the dear women of the
household under the shadow and
terror of this crime, you would
have found at least an explana'
ton for a 1awless revolution
which cannot be legally justified.
Do you ask me how this riot
can be rebuked and this mob
made impossible for the future?
I will answer you frankly that it
is likely to occur again.
The silliest man in the south
is the time-serving statesman
who declares that there is no
race problem, and the question,
if left alone, will settle ITSELF"
The race question is more i'm
pending and threatning now than
it has been in twenty years. The
tension is sharper, the antago-
nism deeper between the races.
The hope of a permanent agree
ment has slender foundation.
The horror of Saturday has
doubtless left a blot on our civil.
zation. Every good citizen in Geor-
gia will deplore and condemn the
indiscriminate slaughter. | fer
vent1y dep1ore it. But the out
ragged people had tried every
known remedy and failed. And it
will undoubtly clear the atmos-
phere and keep the negro in or
der for five years to come. They
are already assuming different
tone. There may be sporadic
1aW1essness, but the backbone
of insolent aggression is broken
for a time, and there will be few
er outbreaks, and more of tran
quillity for long season. The
men it will save in the future will
outnumber ten times the men
who were killed on Saturday.
The present riot is at an end.
The city is quiet tonight, the
streets are cleared, the military
on guard, the negroes are whip
ped and BILE, and there is no
danger apprehended anywhere.
But the trouble may possibly be
reopened with another wave of
1ustfu1 crime next summer.

SUGAR INDUSTRY GROWS
WHILE COFFEE FAILS
Porto Rico Greatly in Need OF Aid to
Save Acres of Coffee
Growers.

Conditions of production and COM
merce in Porto Rico and the growth In
the trade Of that island are the subject
OF a report by the Spanish consul in
Porto Rico. The Bureau Of Statistics
of the Department OF Commerce and
Labor transmits the following extracts:
This increase in the exports Is due
principally 70 the large quantity OF sugar
exported 10 the United States Besides,
there was shipped to the United States
tobacco. Leaf and manufactured, the
value of which was SSH, ,1S2; great
quantity II native fruit. especially or
anges, coco1nuts, and pineapples. as
Well as straw hats, embroidery, and
Openwork, which constitute the princi-
pal industries o. this country.
Commerce with foreign countries. the
value OF which was S6.J02 046 in 1864,
amounted 10 only $5,203S 81 in 19O4-5.
There can b, no doubt that this loss OF
foreign trace was due mainly 10 the
taTin arrangement applying TO the is
land.
1t is estimated that the value of the
lands which have been taken up for the
cultivation OF sugar has increased 20
per cent during 1yg4-5, and the price Of
an ordinary good piece of land has risen
in certain districts 20 SlU0 an acre.
Up to the present time nothing has
been done for coffee. which formerly
constituted the principal basis of the
wealth of the island. At present not
much more than 20 per cent Of the
COffee-bearing area is being cultivated;
hundreds OF COffee-bearing acres which
only a few years ago constituted the
greater part Of the wealth of the cOun-
try have been abandoned. Properties
which were valued at from $50 TO SO
an acre are today offered for from SIS
to $50 &nd II frequently happens that
properties are sold at auction for the
nOn-payment Of taxes or of the amount
for which they have been mortgaged.
