IOWA BUSY Ar OPEN GAME
Coach CatIin Training His Men on
Forward Pass.

IOWA CITY, Ia, oct. 2l.-(SpeciaLD-
Forward passes in every form will be
taught the Iowa varsity this year accord
ing to the plan started in last nights
practice by Coach Catlin. When the var
stty met the freshmen i'm scrimmage prac-
tice the head coach gave Quarterback
CarberrY instructions to use nothing but
the formation belonging to the open game.
To have a team which will play the
new style of foot ball and not TO resort to
the straight Old-fashioned game in a
pinch is the principal aim Of the coaches.
Both last year and in part Of this years
contests the Iowa quarterbacks have used
the straight plays repeatedly in the crit
ical periods OF play completely forgetting
the carefully reeharsed forward pass for
nations so carefully taught in the many
nights of signal practice.
In an effort TO remedy this defect Cat
lin has given orders for the open game
and nothing else. Last night the fresh
men, accustomed to the formations.
shifted to meet the varied attack and
successfully stopped most Of the plays.
Catlin was disguised with the way his
regulars ran interference and several of
the players were lectured on their weak
nesses and faults in allowing the fresh

ment, basing their action on the law pro-
Viding for the state racing commission
prepared TO go into the courts to prevent
any immediate adverse action by the com
mission while securing from the
courts a decision Of the point In
issue. Under the law the orders of the
of the courts and the Latonis Jockey club
proposes to ask the court to pass on the
betting provisions, holding that the COM
missions authority does not extend so far
as to specify the method OF betting to be
adopted. Whatever the decision of the
lower court, the case will be carried to
the state court OF appeals and n final de
cision is not likely until after the end
OF the fall meeting.

BITTER ATTACK BY
 PAPER IN HAVANA
ULTRA SPANISH ORGAN REFERS TO WRECkING OF THE MAINE AND DECLARES WORK WAS DONE BY AMERICANS.

Havana, February F.-The Diario Espa- nola, the organ of the ultra Spanish ele- ment, in a leading editorial today, refer ring to the special celebration by Amer jeans of the tenth anniversary of the blowing up of the battleship Maine, says:
 'They commemorate the blackest blot on American history, the world, includ- ing honest Americans, believing that the ship was blown up by direct orders from the war department for the purpose of justification in the effort to despoil Sapin in Cuba"
 The paper adduces as convincing proof" that the officers of the Maine attended the funeral of the victims in full dress uniform. which showed that they must have sent their uniforms ashore fin anticipation of an explosion" and alleges that the reason the wreck has not been raised is that it would conclu- sively demonstrate that the explosion was in the magazine.

OHIO IS FALLING.
Government Report Hints At Another
 Storm Approaching.

Washington, February 17.-The Ohio river is falling rapidly in the Pittsburg district, but continues to rise from Par kersburg down. Stages as follow. are indicated between Parkersburg and Mem phis from the water now in sight:
 Parkersburg, between fl and 42 feet Tuesday morning. flood stage, 36 feet.
 Cincinnati. 55 feet Thursday or Fri day; flood stage. 50 feet.
 Evansville and Mount Vernon, Ind, 3S to 40 feet toward the end of the week, flood stage, 35 feet.
 Paducah, 3S feet, flood stage 40 feet, and Cairo 43 feet, flood stage 45 feet, by the end of the week, and in the Mem phs district flood stages in from seven to eight days.
 The lower Wabash and Tennessee rivers will also continue to rise. These forecasts are based upon water now actually in sight, but the eastward movement of a marked disturbance, central tonight over southwestern Kansas, may necessitate a revision of the figures within 36 hours. Should the storm center pass south of the Ohio river, precipitation will be generally light and most in the form of snow. but should it pass to the north ward substantial rains are probable. More definite information will be given Tues day morning.

JURY D|SAGREES
 IN SMELL TRIAL Richard Shell Will Ask for New
 Trial In May
FAMILY SKELETONS AIRED
Case Has Been Filled With Sensations Involving Many of the Women of Clinton and Colonel Shells
 Letters Were Racy.

Clinton. IL, February 1.-The jury in the Shell s2,0OO,OOO will case. was dis charged by Judge Cochrane late today being unable to reach verdict Richard She'll the contestant, announces that he will ask new trial of the case at the May term of court.
 The last ballot stood eight for the con- testant to four for the proponents of the will.
 When the jury was called into court this morning by Judge Cochrane, the possibility of agreement.
 Upon being asked by the judge whether a question of law or fact stood in the way of an agreement, Foreman Pennington replied that he believed it was fact.
 Then I can do nothing for you" said the judge, and forthwith the jury went back to the jury room.
 The jury had been out since Saturday morning.
 The suit to break the will of Col Thomas Shell was brought by the aged and eccentric millionaire's son, Richard She'll president of the Clinton bank. It has been rife with sensations. chief of which were the Smell letters written by women and young girls to the old man. who was willing to pay lavishly for being loved, and for being told so in affectionately worded epistles, in which appeals for money mingled with ex- pressions of endearment. Among the let ters were some from the wife of clergy man who not only expressed her own love but told Shell that her daughter, 16 years of age, would love him, if he would send her money. Letters from the girl herself, bearing out the promises of the mother were introduced at the trial of the suit to break the will.
 When Colonel Shell died in June. 1907, he left an estate of $2.OOo. 900. To his son Richard he left soniy an annuity of fifty dollars per year. TO a grandniece, Ma belle Shell McNamara. he left property valued at $25,000 and an annuity of $100O per year. The rest of his property he left in trust. interest to be added each year to the principal until twenty years after the death of his youngest grand child, then but years of age.
 Richard Shell sought to break his fathers will on the ground that he was insane about women.

 Ulysses Anderson was rescued from the debris after being held prisoner for several hours. He was badly cut and bruised, but will recover. Nearly score of others had narrow escapes, running from the houses in their night robes and leaving behind all of their personal be- longings.
 Railroad and traction lines have re- turned to practically normal schedules and business in the flood districts has been resumed, although there are many cellars yet to be pumped out and much mud and refuse to be removed.
 Steel and iron mills and other indus trial plants have begun the cleaning up process, and some of them will be able to operate tomorrow. Practically all will have resumed by the end of the week.
 Many families are in distress on sc- count of the flood, and charitable organ izations have demandsafar in excess of their resources.
