Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 23.-With the ex.
ception of few Thanksgiving day
games today marks the end Of the
college football season for 1907.

ever before in the history of the
sport in this country. Since the open
ing of the season the latter part of
September nearly a dozen players
have died as the result of injuries re-
ceived on the gridiron, but this num-
Der is small as compared with the
records in past years. 1t is noticeable,
moreover, that nearly all of the vic
tins were members of scholastic or
association teams, only two or three
of them belonging to college elevens.
No football player among the larger
colleges has been killed, though inju-
ries among the players have been
common.
The list of the victims todate is as
follows:
William O'Brien, Is years old, of
Cortlandt, N. Y, died of hemorrhage
of the brain, following injuries re-
ceived in school game.

Sims to Dismiss Action

Refuses to Discharge Grand Jury But
Orders 1t to Take No Further Action
in Alton Matter = instructs 1t to
Investigate Rebatine to Manufact-
urers.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Attorney General
Bonaparte made melton today i'll the
United States district court that the
special grand jury called to consider
the connection of the Alton railway
with the granting Of rebates to the
Standard Oil Company Of Indiana be
discharged.
Judge Lands refused to discharge
the grand jury as requested by Bona
parte, but instructed the jury that II
had no further duties to perform III
connection, with the action. He calico
the attention of the jury to the state
ment recently made by James Moftitt,
president of the Standard Of Indiana,
which latter was reported as saying
that if the Standard was guilty OF re-
batting every other manufacturer was
guilty. The judge instructed the jury
to investigate the conduct Of other
manufacturers, and ordered the is
suance OF a subpoena for Moffitt.

letter was read today to the court oy
District Attorney Sims, that Morrison,
predecessor to Sims III the office, had
promised immunity TO the Alton pro-
vided it assisted IN good faith in the
prosecution OF the Standard. The at
lorney general therefore claimed it was
the duty uf the government to see that
no further steps toward punishment OF
the railroad Tor its part in the grant
ing of rebates be taken. He therefore
asked that the grand jury be dis
charged, and matters be allowed to
drop 80 lar as the Alton is concerned.
The letter Of the attorney general,
which WAS read in court today, differed
from ths. one sent out from Lennox,
Mass, under date of August 2S. Judge
Lands, after the reading of the letter,
,recounted to the members of the grand
jury the history of the case and citing
what he said were evidences of Grim
inality on the part of the railroad
company in connection with the grant
ing Of rebates, but saying that prom
ises must, however, be kept. He di-
rected the grand jury should take no
further action against the railroad
company in the matter.

ton concerning contract relations ex-
listing between the Tidewater Pipe
Company of Pennsylvania and the

had been completed to Constable Hook
N. j. Witness said that Oct. 9, 1884, a
contract between the Tidewater and
the Standard was ratified whereby the
oil business was divided between the
two companies. Benson was questioned
at some length concerning the various
provisions of the contracts which ap-
portioned eighty-eigh per cent to the
Standard. Benson said the Standard
fixed the prices the Tidewater should
pay for its crude Oil and also fixed the
price for oil refined for export.
