or course it would not do TO have

had to be secured. This man was
found In the person Of Frank A. Cal

transferred to Calkins, to be held in
trust for the Utah Fuel company, he
receiving a commission of at least 49,
600 In the transaction. About this time
special agent of the government land
office got wind Of what was going
on and reported the matter to WASH
ington. The people who had been
carrying on the conspiracy learned of
the agents report, and at once changed
their tactics. Calkins, acting under
advice, advertised that he had certain
Utah coal lands for sale, and invited
purchasers. Frank b. Clark, Salt
Lake mining man, purchased the lands
in his own name. Finally getting onto
the scheme, Cook was compromised
with In some way or other, but the

.GOUND RULE SCORE
SEEaS TO Be LEGAL

NEW YORK. Oct 29.-That curious
ground goal" by which Princeton
scored two points on Cornell in the
game at the Polo Grounds on Saturday
was a subject Of much discussion to-
day, and frequently the question, why
was IL not q touchdown" was asked
and not answered.
The reason was that before the game
just such a pIaE came up for discus
sion while the players were warming UP.
Referee Wr.ghtington called the attea-
tiOn OF Captain Dillon. Of Princeton. and
Captain Cook, of Cornell to the close
ness OF the goal posts to the stands and
the danger and unfaiTncsS OF allowing
any scTambling fox the ball behind the
posts.
It was agreed that in case a kicked
bail was touched by The defense and
player Of the kicking side fen on il
behind tie 6oal posts IL should count
as two points the same as 4 safety
That was just what happened
Walter Camp. was called up on the
telephone at New Haven last night and
asked as a member of the rules commit
tee whether the question of emergency
ground rulings had been taken up by the
committee.
Mr.. Camp said IL had not. He saw
Princeton and Cornell play and said that
Co0uey had made a touchdown under
the official rules
when the announcement was made
that the play would count as two
points" added Mr. Camp 4 at once
surmised that II was by a special agree
ment. as such have been customary in
the past at the Polo Grounds"
