who are thinking of becoming
candidates for county Offices
may be in the same predicament

EITHER A REFORM
 OR NO FOOTBALL
A Decision Reached by the HarVaTd d Board Of OverSeerS.

Boston, Jan. 15.-Football has been abolished ot Harvard, pending a reform in the game that will be acceptable to the board of overseers, according to an official announcement today from the university.
 The discontinuance of the game is a result of a vote taken last week al a secret meeting of the board of over- seers, when it was decided that inter collegiate football at Harvard would not be permitted until the rules and regulations had been so changed and amended as to remove what the over seers regarded as the evils of the pres ent game. The Overseers accepted unanimously the opinions of a special committee that the game as at present played is bad in every respect, that the method encourages trickery and foul play and that the result is bad for the morals of the players as well as fof the body.

Mir. BabCOCk Takes Occasion to Explain His
 Position of AntagOniSm
Senator Bacon Finds Way to Make Public the Senator's Criticism of the President and Secretary Root in the Moroccan Business.

Washington, Jan. 15.--General de bate on the Philippine tariff bill was concluded in the house today. having been in progress daily since January 1. The bill will be taken up for amendment under the five-minute rule tomorrow and put on it's passage eith- CT tomorrow or the next day.
 When the house met, MT. BaDcOck at once took the floor on a question of personal privilege. He based his state ment on local newspapers entitled How came Babcock to rebel?" and which gave as a reason for his oppOsi- ton to joining Arizona and New MeNi- co as one state, his pidue at not being made chairman of the appropriations committee.
 The statement, MT. Babcook said, totally misrepresented him and he also believed the so-called ''stalwarts," " which he understood meant the house organization. He had, he said. never Eeen an applicant for the chairman ship of the appropriations commit tee. He had not wanted that chair manship and had it been rendered to
Arizona republican., 1906-01-16

him he should have declined it, "as do not feel that under the circUm- stances that I could have filled it to the satisfaction of the house."
 As to statehood, MT. Babcock said he had always been opposed to 5oin- ing Arizona and New Mexico as one state and had always opposed it. At the last session, he said, the opposi- ton supported the rules committee of the house joining the statehood ques- tion as the best means of killing the bill.
 As to his views on the tariff, MT. Babcock said they had not been changed. lie presented a resolution adopted by the Wisconsin delegation in congress January If, 1905, in favor of the revision, and said, while lowing as a party man to the program, he still adhered to the opinion that 9
 revision should be had. There was no
 reply to MT. Babcocks statement, and i when he concluded some of his col ! leagues applauded.
 Resolutions calling on Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte to report if there
 has been any delay in delivering ma
 terial to the battlesnips Connecticut
 and Louisiana, now being built. or any change in the cost or plans of the
 ships were agreed upon.
 In opposition to the bill MT. Davis
 of Minnesota asserted that the recent expedition of members to the Philip pines was gotten up for the purpose ot passing the pending bill. He said the legislation would benefit the so-calleC
 sugar trust and the Spreck.es people
 who were the only purchasers of raw sugar in this country.
 | Mir. BoutelIe, closing the debate, re- i viewed tke provisions of the bill anc urged the following reasons for its
 passage: That it will meet the ap-
 proval of the great mass of Americans
 that it is hoped it will prove of ines : timable benefit to both the Philip pines and the United States and that all educated FiHpinos favor the mea- sure.
