PROF. Y0ST
IT MAY BE

In order to retain the services of
Fielding Harris Yost as coach OF the
Michigan football team, it may be
necessary for the board of regents OF
that institution to make him menu
berof the faculty, thus comforting on
his the title OF professor" This
situation arises from the possibility
of adopting the rules proposed at the
conference of representatives OF the
s.Big Nine" few days ago. One
of these rules prohibits the employ
INIT of professional coaches, and
provides that the coach of a football
team must be member of the fac
|ulty.
The Chicago, Ann Arbor and Min
neapolis papers are full of gossip
about the situation. Michigan is the
center of interest. Coach Stage, of
Chicago, is member of the faculty,
and so is DR.. Williams, the Mime
sofa coach. The rule does not effect
these institutions, and in this par
ticular, it is agreed that Michigan
was outgeneraled at the conference.
AtMichigan. the students are very
certain that Yost must stay and that
there is no reason why he should not
become member of the faculty. He
would be appointed by the board OF
regents as an instructor in the de-
partment of athletics. Another solu-
tionis that Michigan adopt the pro-
posed rule with the provision that it
shall not apply to contracts now in
existence. Michigan has a contract
with Yost for four years, and the
authorities there will surely refuse
to abrogate this.
Mr.. Yost is not losing any sleep
over the situation, but for all that,
thereIis possibility of his position
of coach at Michigan being lost. He
lis following the discussions OF the
situation in western papers with a
good deal Of interest.

Gov. Yzabel Arrives at Scene
 Trouble.

Fl Paso, Texas. June 5.-TwentV four hours of terror, eliminating ia the stoning to death of Americans by mob of Mexican rioters ended in Cananea early this evening, when Gov. .Yzabel heading command of 300 American border fighters. WIG volunteered at Naco Ariz.. arrived il. the town and took command.
 The rioters. in which over 5.G0G Mexican miners participated yesrer- day afternoon, were marked by the firing of the Cananea lumber yar,ls and their complete destruction: the tynamiting of half a dozen American homes: hand-to-hand conflicts almost without number: the killing Of eleven Mexicans and the wounding of half q hundred more.
 But that the MeXicans were largely without arms. it is believed. on ac count of the immense superiority n numbers. that the deaths might have run up into hundreds.

RuMoR ABOUT COTTON BELT.
It Is Said To Be About To Take Over the Houston East and West Texas.

Houston. June 5.~-humors are ill circulation in railroad circles that the Cotton Belt would soon enter Houston over it's own tracks.
 From sources which while not ofll- ctal are yet authentic it is ascertained that the Cotton Belt is negotiating with the Houston East and West Tex as railway, and that there is fair chance that the deal will go through.
 Two weeks ago, a report went the rounds that the Cotton Belt sought to enter Houston over a more direct route from the east than the Intefna- tional and Great Northern, which IS also d Gould road. At that time 1t was not given out that open negotia- tons were in progress for the East and West, but subsequent develop ments have given additional confirma- ton to the story.
 The Cotton Belt at one time had an option on the East and West, but this was allowed to elapse.
 Within the past three weeks, how ever. the matter has been revived, and is now believed to be i'll fair way to consummation. It is pointed out that the Cotton Belt could better than any other system tie n2 the East and West. The two systems touch at Shreveport and again at Lnfl;in, and the arrangement would give the Cotton Belt a fine St. Louis route to the Gulf and would strengthen it vast ly in both freight and passenger busi- ness.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

In the May number of the North Brown advocates Municipal Owner ship of Public Utilities" The grounds on which Mr. Brown bases his argu- ment are three In the first place, he maintains that competition in the Eublic service is impracticable; as a matter of fact, such competition is not competition at all, but war. EXpe- rience has shown that one of two things happen when private agencies conduct public services-the stronger company either buys out the weaker at once or divides the territory with the weaker if the territory is large enough, or it lowers the rates below the point of profit until the weaker succumbs. In the second place, mu- nicipal ownership will pay. The right to do a particular service through the use of, say, the public streets has a capital value; and, when that right is given i'll the form of a franchise to a private concern. the public must pay interest to the capital value, which need pot be paid if the work is, done by the mu nicipality itself In the third place, municipal ownership will remove the main and most threatening source of political corruption. since public utll- ity corporations are everywhere the chief bnlwark and support of the ma chine. Mr Brown is skeptical as to the feasibility and the efficacy of the policy of regulating private corpora tions engaged in public service He says:
 Tn every case where regulation has seriously been attempted, long and tedious litigation has been tho result. Witness Boosevelt's Ford law which. though passed in 1899, has never yet been enforced. Witness La Folette's rate legislation and John sons effort for Scent fares. If the htigatica is successful, t involves the election of successive administrations who are firm believers in tbe same roiicy. 10 keen the regulation going; ard this. n turn, means the eantin- uous political warfare fTau4h' with all these necessary antaeon:s0s a2d involving a steady 5aeegtIye ta sa= litical corruption. without + 2eaa;t@ results mun.cipal aN4 zsllp Waa secure.
