NEW YORK, Mach 30.-The Ameri-

Committee is holding another session
at the Murray Hill hotel today and this
is believed to be the final meeting, in
which the new football code will be
finally adopted. The work was prac-

ing. but it was necessary for the rep
resentatives of the various universities
taking part in the deliberations to re-
port to their institutions, before def
mite and final settlement could be
reached The task of the committee
today mainly consists in going over
the whole ground, taking up section
after section and to pass separately
upon each individual rule. 1t is not
expected that any further changes will
be made at today's meeting.

ABANDONMENT OF NAVAL STATION
Proposed Movement to Do Away With
Dry Tortugas Is Opposed
by Officers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 30
There is a difference Of expert opinion
in regard to the proposed abandon
ment of the naval coaling station at
Dry Tortugas. Rear Admiral r. B.
Bradford, who is responsible for the
establishment of the station there, is
anxious that the transfer of the place
from the navy department to the
treasury department shall be opposed,
while the naval general board has
urged that the plant at Dry TOrtugas
be taken to Guantanamo. Secretary
Bonaparte has advised the house naval
committee that more than a million
dollars has been expended on Dry
TOrtugas, and that it costs $4,000 a
year to sustain the plant. Some Of the
naval officers who have advised Secre-
tary BOnaparte in the matter have
pointed out that the place has now
lost it's strategic value and would be

lishment can be exacted, probably not
more than 100000.

M|M|sTERACCUsEDOF F|R|MGCHURCH
Feud of Factions in Indiana House Of
Worship Leads to Arrest
of Preacher.

DANVILLE, Ind, March 30.-Rev.
Edward H. Freeman, Methodist minis
ter of Terre Haute, was arrested in
that city today on an indictment re-
turned against him by the Hendricks
county grand jury, sitting here, charg-
ing him with arson.
Freeman was formerly the pastor Of
Montgomery chapel, south of Lizton.
He with others of his parishioners,
was DESTROYS Of having the church
moved from the country site into Liz
ton. The church was an old frame
affair and had served for many years
as a place of worship. Beside it was
a little graveyard in which some of
the mosct prominent families of Hend-
ricks county had relatives and friends
buried. They voted down Freeman's
proposition to move the church into
town. A church feud resulted and
much bitterness was aroused.
On the night of February II, 1908,
after a revival service, the little chapel
burned From that moment there were
rumors that the "town church folk"
had burned Montgomery chapel, and
bitterness between the town and coun-
cry elements grew into hatred. In the
course of time the anti town crowd
presented the gossip to the prOcura-
tor of Hendricks county, and he began
an investigation. Nearly the whole
town of Lizton was summoned. An
insurance company of Chicago, which
had paid policy of $500 on the burn
ed church, also took a part and push
ed the investigation before the grand
jury. The result was the indictment
of the minister on the charge of ar
son.

mo, Mr.. Jerome is not legally guilty

to describe him as a traitor to his

NEW YORK, March 30.-District

able to accomplish it by indulging in a

ACQUIRES Little Piece Of Ground
in Pacific Ocean
THAT CARRIES RICH COAL DEPOSITS
TOOK OPTION ON 1T IN 1890 AND
CLOSED DEAL IN MARCH
OF THIS YEAR.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 3O.-
Il trouble does come in the far east,
and does not come too soon, it will
find your Uncle Sam we'll provided
with the first requisite of modern
warfare-good coal.
Ever since this country has been in
the Philippines, it has had an eye out
for fuel for its warships, but until
March 1, 1906, has not been able to say
that it had in it's own possession an
absolute supply. 1t has always had
to buy from either Japan or Australia
and the 100000 tons a year used by
the United States and Philippine gov
ernments has cost an average of IS
a ton, and the coal has been dirty and
unsatisfactory at that. But now ar
engagements have been perfected
whereby the two governments will
have an abundant supply Of superior
quality, at less than half the price
Of the Japanese or Australian coal,
and it will come from mines owned
and controlled by the United States.
Rich Coal Deposits.
About 1890, or eight years before
the Spanish war, some clever Span
iards found that the little island of
Batan, 45O miles from Manila by water,
contained marvelously rich deposits of
high grade coal and in enormous guam
titles. Indeed, they found that the ISL
and, which is ten miles long and five
miles wide. is practically solid coal.
They also found that there was but
one harbor on the island and that this
harbor owing to the dangerous nature
OF the coast, was an iron-clad necessity
for any one who desired to operate
the coal mines. So they bought the
land fronting upon the nice, ample,
land-locked harbor, and placing the
deeds in their pockets, sat down to
wait for some one to come along who
wanted to mine coal. 1t was slow
process, but sure. Whoever got the
coal had to see them first, and so they
were patient and waited.
Spaniards in Their Way.
Finally came the Splash war, and,
of course. Uncle Sam wanted COAL He
heard of Batan island and examined it.
1t looked good to him. But he also
found the Spanierds who held the
deeds to the harbor front. They said:
"You can't cross our land or lease it,
but you can buy it for $4,000 cash.
ThereupOn Uncle Sam took an option
at the price, to be good until March
/, 1906, and then quietly slid around
and bought all the rest of the coal
land on the island, having first as
certained that the supply was suffic-
lent to keep the American and Phil
ippine governments going for at least
200 years. When the present session
of congress opened, a bill was intro
duced appropriating $4,000 with which

for the personal comfort Of travellers
on board. Their official designation
Is that Of auxiliary ships officer"
That their occupation ia q pleasant one
is proved by the numerous applications
at steamboat Offices from young Dan.
ish, Swedish and Norwegian ladies'
anxious to secure such positions. This
life on the inland lakes and rivers,
Is stated in fact to be immensely popu.
lar with the strong and energetic girls
Of Northern Europe. That the duties
involved necessitate q girls having
head on her shoulders goes without
saying, and many Of the applicants are
daughters Of either naval or profes.
sional men, such az lawyers and
doctors.
It is the duty OF the AUXILIARY ships
officer" to ascertain from the purser
Of the ship how many passengers are
booked on the outgoing voyage and to
lay in her provisions accordingly, with
an eye to ample supplies, at the same
time avoiding any risk In the matter
OF waste. She is further responsible
for the tastefully laid table and for
such additional houselinen as may bo
required in the cabins during the voy-s
age. Plate, china and even kitch6ns
utensils are generally her own prop
erty, so that she must necessarily pos.
sess business ability in her selection
and care. Payments are arranged at
80 much per head and the lady steward
nets the profits over and above the act
ual expenses, and beyond this may de-
pend upon complimentary contributions
from the traveller. which being q Gus
tomary thing, may be offered and &C
cepted without offense.
Such an occupation with its sell
respecting independence and it's breezy,
open-air surroundings, is healthful and
exhilerating, while the constant stream
of passengers and tourists, both old and
new, tends to the formation Of pleasant
acquaintance, at all seasons Of travel.
Another post filled by women on
board the Norwegian mail steamers is

young ladies always travel together,
their sole duty consisting in carrying

ally may be seen employing It in pro.
ducing those much-admired "Hosfllds

rich profusion throughout the Scandin-
avian lands. These post ladies'" how.
ever, never allow their elaborate needle
work to jeopardize their official posi-.
ton as government employees; for long
before the landing-stage Is reached,
both may be seen cloaked and hated,
standing, as it were, at attention. BY
