land Stanford University Athletics,
Concludes That Modern Foot Ball
Game Has Deteriorated From Sport
to Business-Base Ball Also Scored.

Stanford University, Cal, Jan. 13. -
The faculty athletic committee yester-
day made public their annual report.
to President Jordan. on the condition
of university athletics. On the subject
of foot ball. the reform committee sub
nit it as their opinion, that close for
nation in play should be abolished;
that the modern game has deteriorated
from sport to business; that the game
is exclusive, since only men of heavy
weight can participate; that the game
is no longer in any sense a college
sport, since students do not organize
volunteer teams, to play for love of the
game.
Dealing with base ball, the commit
tee declares: "That base ball is on a
distinctly lower level than any other
college sport, both as regards the spir-
it Of amateurism and courtesy and
fairness of play" in conclusion the
faculty Investigators commend tennis,
track work and rowing to more liberal
participation by students, as being
helpful and many sports.

Special to Times- Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Jan 13.--Capt. S. w,
Rathbun, editor of the Marion Register,
has been announced as a candidate for
governor. The announcement is made
| in the Mt Vernon Hawkeye issued yes
terday. In announcing Rathbuns cam
didacy the Hawkeye among other
things, says:
canvassed the matter fully in every
precinct and there is a practically
unanimous determination to place him
In the race as an active candidate.
The time has come when taking him at
his word that he would not decline
the nomination., it is proper and
right that the formal announcement
should be made that Linn county will
present him as its candidate and in
regardless of whatever differences of
opinion there may be on the tariff and
other questions of public concern will
give him their cordial enthusiastic
and united support.
"Voicing this general sentiment of
the county the Hawkeye today speak
ing not only for itself but for Linn
county republicans announces his can
didacy. 1t does SO cheerfully and
ar Of inv ba nrt nf
the republicans Of the state.
He is Il firm supporter of the admin
istration of President Roosevelt on
all the important questions now before
the people. He is not in favor of reci-
procity in competing products. He is
in favor of proper and rightful adj
justment of all measures by legislative
enactment so that there may be "a fair
and square deal for all and believes
that in all matters where corporations
are opposing the rights and the best
interests Of the people, the people
should be protected at all hazards.
AS governor he would be for the peo-
pie in all matters as against all who
might oppose either as individuals or
corporations. His position on all
public measures is so we'll known that
no pledge or demand could or would
be made in regard to measures affect
ing the rights and interests of the peo-
pie"
During the more than fifty years
since Iowa has been a state, Linn
county has never had a state officer
except when Mr.. Akers was superinten-
dent of public instruction. The county
now claims and rightfully, that it is
entitled to recognition and it will ask
that it's candidate be given the con-
sideration that is due one of the larg-
est and most populous counties in the
state"
1t is intended to make Captain Rath-
bun the candidate of the standpat fac
ton, as he has been consistently and
violently opposed to any change in the
tariff and is in sympathy with few if
any of the reforms advocated by the
present administration. Captain Rath :
bun has been in Des Moines this week
consulting with the standpat leaders
and before he left there last night it
was decided that he would become a
candidate for the nomination at the
republican convention.

there was a shortage of about $2,24O in

! county. and it was at his instigat1on
4 that the investigation was made. The

which is his left arm, in which the
bones of his forearm We're removed,

carry in sling a great part OF the

shock to him and his family, which
consists of a wife and daughter, the
latter a teacher in the Charlton public
schools.

MET AWFUL DEATH

An Old Man Struck by Fast Train Near
Montour and Instantly kiIIed-Iden
titled Today as Jos. Miller, Of CarIs-
vile, Ohio.
Tama, Jan. 13-About mile east Of
Montour late Friday afternoon a man
who was walking on the Northwestern
tracks, was struck by the engine of the
Colorado Special" and instantly
killed, his body being cut and crushed
in fearful manner. The train was
late and was hitting the track at q
mile minute. The engineer whistled
and made every effort to attract the
attention of the track-walker. but
without avail, and when it was seen
he was not aware of the approaching
train, it wa stoo late to stop, and the
man was run down. The train was
stopped, backed up and the body placed
on board and brought to Tama, where
it was taken in charge by Coroner
Guernsey.
This morning it was ascertained that
the mans name is Joseph Miller. of
Gainesville, Ohio, or Circleville, Ohio,
the address in his memorandum book
being somewhat illegible. 1t was
learned that he had staid Thursday
night with a farmer named Larson
near Montour and to him he gave his
name and said he was 81 years of age
Miller evidently had been in Marshall
town, as ne had picture of the Sol
.diers' Home, which he told Larson had
heen given him and it is supposed that
he was trying to work his way back to
Ohio. There seems to be little doubt
that Miller was deaf and dumb, as he
wrote all his questions to Larson and
carried on the conversation in that
way.
A fresh memorandum in the little
book indicated that Miller was either
demented or had been contemplating
suicide, as the following sentence had
been written: God says ne wants me
to go to heaven tonight" 1t Is thought
from this that Miller may have delib-
lose his life. 1t appears that he had
sought work at several places, but had
been refused, and it may be he became
discouraged ana decldeQ 10 Sulcfue. IL
is not certain that he is an old soldier,
but he wore badge of the national
encampment held in Cleveland. A story
sent out last night said the man killed
was named Pratt, and that his home
was Edgewood, Ia. A Mr.. Pratt from
that place. who has a son attending
Ames College came here this morning,
fearing it might be his son, but a
glance at the remains dispersed all his
fears The body will be held here for
few days in an effort to ascertain
if the man had any relatives. If not
found it is probable he will be buried
by the county.
