New Foot Ball Rules.

The actual matter of the rules has
not been materially changed, owing to
the satisfaction that was found with
the wholesale revision which took
place in the rules of 1906. 1t was de-
termined to increase the playing time
another 10 minutes by adding five
minutes to each half. 1t was voted to
continue the method of two umpires
The 10-yard rule is preserved exactly
as before. Forward passing has been
altered to a certain extent, making il
less risky to use it on the first and
second down. Instead of losing the
ball in case the forward pass strikes
the ground before striking a player OF
either side, the same side retains pos
session of the ball by losing Is yards
in distance. When the forward pass
is essayed on the third down, however
and it strikes the ground without strik
ing player, or is otherwise made il
legally, the ball must be surrendered
to the other side exactly as formerly
That a line man may carry the ball
provided he does not leave his position
in the line until the ball is put in play
1t was also determined that the for
ward pass or tripping or hurdling b!
the side that did not put the ball il
play in a scrimmage, should be pena
lized Is yards.
In order to prevent signaling by ont
man and a catch and run by another
it was legislated that if one man of thu
side signals his intention of making
fair catch, and then another of hi
side who did not signal, makes tn
catch, this player may not run witt
the ball nor is he entitled to the priv
ileges coming from a fair catch, bu
the ball must be put down at the poin
where he caught it for a scrimmage b.
his side

DEATH HELPS ROMANCE.
Rich Mining Man Has Been Denied
Divorce by Church.


Denver. Col-After being denied the
right to marry without being excom-
municated by the Catholic church, Of
which they are devout members,
death is about to step in and help
portland" James A. Doyle, million
aire mine owner of Cripple Creek, and
Miss Marie Duffy, a beautiful tele-
pbone operator of Denver, out Of their
dilemma
In the palmy days Of Cripple Creek,
lust as Doyle was emerging from the
poverty class into the ranks OF mil
lionaire through fabulous gold strikes
in the Portland mine at Victor he met
the dashing and very unconventional
Daphne Belle Sutton, who came from
little town in Iowa, fell in love with
her and made her his wife. Mrs. Doyle
was also known as Belle Daniels be-
fore her marriage, and she claimed no
particular place as her home.
Married life hung heavily on Mrs
DOYLE. and she grew tired of the re-
strictions home ties placed upon her.
Doyle forgave her conduct time after
time, but finally divorced her.
/
Mrs. Doyle next became friendly with
Kid Mccoy, the pugilist, who borrowed
$1,000 diamond ring from her and
lost it, he claimed
Later, Mrs. Doyle, still beautiful,
married a rich copper manufacturer
named Whitley and toured the world
with him. Again domestic life became
irksome to the dashing young woman,
and her husband found ample reason
to divorce her.
Two years ago Mrs. Whitley married
Charles Hepner, rich mining man Of
Blair, New, and went to Honolulu with
him. Mrs. Hepners liberal views on
life led to a disagreement. In the
meantime she had become afflicted
with consumption. Ten days ago she
came to Denver, her old stamping
ground, for zone last good time. !"
Now her death is hourly expected at a
local hospital, and when her soul pass
es to the great beyond, the romance
of Jimmie" Doyle and Marie Duffy
will be consummated in marriage.

NEARLY CAUSED A RIOT.
Arrest of Socialist Speaker at spo-
kane, Wash.

One of the widest demonstrations
ever witnessed on the streets Of Spo-
kane took place Saturday night about
10 o'clock, when a frenzied mob of
over 1000 people surged about the en-
trance to the police station furiOusly
clamoring for the release of Mrs. Ida
Crouch Hazlett, a socialist orator, who
had been arrested only few minutes
before by Patrolman Thomas Lister,
under circumstances that tested the
officers nerve to the utmost. Mrs.
Hazlett was charged with violating
the city ordinance which prohibits per
sons from obstructing sidewalks and
streets, although many socialists who
were present assert that she had a
permit authorizing her to lecture on
the streets.
Lister and the woman were followed
to the station by a bowling mob,
which increased in numbers as the pair
approached the station. Shortly after
they entered the door feeling ran so
high that it looked for a time as if the
mob was intent on storming the bas-
tile Sergeant John Sullivan, with a
squad of patrolmen, quelled the rising
riot and no violence was attempted,
although the rabble continued to cheer
their heroine and denounce the police
in smothered murmurings.
The crowd stood about the entrance
to the station and fire headquarters,
and was strung south on Howard street
as far as Front avenue and east and
west on that thoroughfare for over 80
yards. The patrol wagon and the fire
apparatus were called out in an effort
to dispense the rabble but the excited
populace paid no heed. When Mrs.
Hazlett was finally released on fur
nishing S25 bond, the mob went wild,
as, bareheaded and without a jacket,
she led a triumphal procession up
Howard street to her quarters at the
Central lodging house, between River
side and Sprague avenues, on Howard
street.
