DENIES THE CHARGE
COACH YOsT SCORES PRESIDENT
 OF LELAND STANFORD.
He Says He Never Offered Or Paid Money To Gregory To Play On Michigan's Football
 Tteam.

Detroit. Mich, Jan. .2:--Coach Yost, interview. today. flatly, denied the Stanford University, that Yost offered G. w. Gregory, of California, $l,500 to enter the University of Michigan. Yost ory. substantiating this denial.
 For five years I have endured with out reply the aspersions of Dr. Jor- dan said Coach Yost. Tt seems to must demand that Dr. Jordan produce some sort of proof for the numerous statements he has made challenging my personal integrity and methods.
 "Dr. Jordan states that while Greg ory was in the Washburn Preparatory School at San Jose, Cal, there came an offer. from Yost through a local agent, of $1.500 to begin with. if he would enter Michigan. Gregory ac- cepted and went. I will give $1 ,000 to any charitable institution in Dertoit that he may name if he can prove there Is one word of truth in this state ment.
 Tn order that I might first give Dr.. Jordan an opportunity to vouehsafe the proof of any such statement at my re- quest, two Detroit friends asked him for the name of my agent in the Greg ory matter. Dr. Jordan replied that sues but will now place all 1nforma- ton with Piexoto, for fullest inves- tigation; that he cannot make public ms sources or information without permission. My deniel is backed up as strongly as I can make it. 1 have a telegram from Gregory in which he
 !" Seattle Wash, Dec. 31. F. H. Yost Detroit, Mich. Yost never offered me $l,500, nor any part thereof to enter Michigan. (Signed) G. W. Gregory.
 .'Dr. Jordan has also assailed the scholastic eligibility of w. Martin He's ton and Ralph Rose. Heston entered Michigan as a graduate of San Jose Normal from which institution Leland Standford admits graduates, not only without examination but also with full semesters credit Rose entered Michigan on his high school diploma and Michigan deserves credit for dropping a man who holds seven worlds records and this without pro- test from any one. President Jordan fell flat when requested by the A. A. U., for proof of Roses professional ism
 Such statements as those made by Dr. Jordan have poisoned the minds of many prospective students of ath letic ability. They may perhaps be pardoned for drawing the inference that some one is waiting with open hands on every corner of every cam pus to help them through their uni versity course. Perhaps it is but nat ural that they were disappointed when they find that such conditions prevail largely in imagination"

BURGLAR GETS LARGE
 SUM NEAR GADSDEN

Gadsden. Jan. 2.-(special )-News reach ed the Sherifrs office this afternoon of a burglary at the home of William Tones at LaEarde. few miles east of Gadsdeh in which the burglar secured a sum of money known to be between $4so and $500.
 The house was entered by an unknown person while MT. Jones was at work and when he returned he found that his home had been ransacked and that the money was missing.
 MT. Jones is an employe of the Laearde Lime and Stone Company and the money represented his savings for many years. It is supposed that none of the family was at home when the robbery occurred. Deputy Sheriff Lister went to Lagarde Immediately with bloodhounds with the hope of tracing the robbers.

The grand jury of Jefferson county will meet Monday and it is expected that violations of the new law will be investigated.
 In Birmingham the people are be- ginning to become reconciled to the absence of the grog shops. The vacant places are noticeable but car- penters are at work in several, put ting in new shelving or remodeling them for other businesses, two shoe stores to occupy buildings almost ad- jacent to one another. while two new drug stores are being opened
 The police are not being worried in enforcing the prohibition laws, though reports are current that plans are on foot to provide some sort of means to sell liquor. Reports from some of the suburbs are that several chartered clubs are refraining from selling liquors even to members.

Ryan had twenty-four men on his string now. three catchers. nine pitch CTS seven infielders and five outfelders, with chance of landing two more fast pitchers and two hardhitting outtield- CTS. running the number who will re- port here in March. up to twenty eight. The TullY that Ryan mentions in a letter received last night is probably an infielder from a certain National League club. Ryan probably has not succeeded in securing a clear title to him and does not care to give his right name until everything Is in the clear. His letter. received last night, is:

ly benefit of S2O and death indemnity of not over $500 a deposit of $5,00O is required.
 Under the law such companies as these shall not be allowed to do busi- ness in the State until they have sub mitted their charter, constitution, by laws, certificates of membership or policies to the insurance commissioner. They will be required to have no less than 500 members at all times.
 The deposits of these companies can be made in currency. United States, State or municipal bonds in municipal ities of Alabama, but allowance will not be made for face value as hereto fore. The commissioner will demand securities to the etxent of the full amount, based on the market value of the securities. If such securities shall depreciate while in the hands of the State the company will be required to make good the deficit. The com pany posting these securities will be allowed the income on them.
 It is further required that all com panies shall maintain solvent assets to the amount of $1.50 for each $1O0 of insurance in force. Further provis- ions is made that the books of all such organizations shall be open to exami- nation at all times, and that the eX- pense of such examinations, when con- sidered necessary by the commissioned of insurance, shall be borne by the company, and that wherever. in the opinion of the commissioner it becomes necessary after such examination ap- plication will be made for a receiver.
 There are a number of these organi- zations in Alabama at present operat- Ing under the old laws which are not so strict in their requirements as the ones which went into effect Wednes- day. It was the custom of many of these companies to deposit with the commissioner bonds at face value for their deposit. In many instances bonds representing $l, 900 in face value were not worth more than $50. It Is believed that when they are required to put up the real money that many of them will be forced out of business

 I do not absolutely need an outfielder, but this fellow is an experienced, hard hitting one. who would be tower of strength to any team. Our team at present will look something like this: Catchers-Shannon. Messitt, Robin son. Pitchers-Th omas. Murray, Stock pole. Olmuuist. Oamaree, Shoup, Merry man. Helm. Weems. First base Wohlleben.

Taft and Sherman sounds as
good as protection and prosper
ity.
"Taft and Sherman"

"Taft and Sherman" These
are the names which the Repub.
licans of the country have embla
zoned upon their banner for the
campaign of 1908. Ohio and
New York won the honors at
the national convention without
a struggle. The selection of
Sherman as running mate to
Taft was merely an additional
ratification by the Roosevelt re.
publicans of their long promise
that they would nominate a man
who would be thoroughly in &C.
cord with the Roosevelt policy.
James Schcolcraft Sherman is
one of the most eminent men in
the house of representatives, of
which he has been an active
member for twenty years. He
is the son of General Richard U.
Sherman, and is about So years
Of age. About a quarter of a
century ago he was elected may.
or of Utica, New York, and has
served as representative for that
district since the fifteenth con.
gress. He is said to be man of
unusual force of character, live.
lv, popular and congenial. The
nominations were remarkable in
that such overwhelming MAORI.

The party knew what it wanted
and evidently got it. Taft will

the result to be nothing MORE.

HORSE THIEVES
CAPTURED
SHERIFF SMALL MAKES A GOOD
cMTvkE-.-PARkER AND
SMITH INDUSTRY BROKE

A report was brought to this
city last Friday, by parties who
were in Glasgow. that Sheriff
Small had captured Verne Park.
er and Jim Smith, two alleged
horse thieves. at Crosby. North
Dakota. The capture b a good
one. as all the horses that were
stolen in the neighborhood of
Saeo and Hinsdale were recov-.
cred. The sheriff and the depu-
ties struck the trail of the bad
men and their big haul north of
Scoby and after tracking them
for many miles they finally 10.
Gated them near Crosby with
the entire bunch, where they
were dickering for trade.
There seems to be something
wrong with the inspectors force
on the line between this state
and North Dakota, for it seems
that horses can be passed over
without the least trouble by any
bad actor who happens to wan.
der that way with bunch of
horses. No-attentlon is paid to
whether they are healthy, stolen,
or in honest hands. This is per.
haps the toughest proposition
that the Valley county authori.
ties have to cope with. The
capture of Parker and Smith
might lead to other arrests as it
is alleged that other parties have
been associated with them in the
horse stealing industry for some
time and a strong effort is being
made by Sheriff Small to bring
to justice every guilty lndividu-
al, whether he stands high or !
low in social and political life of
this county.

FOR THE PUpLlc GOOD.

An independent and ably edit.
ed newspaper which commands
a great circulation is probably
the most potent influence for
good in the United States TODAY.
The power for the better things
in public affairs and policies, for
instance, which is welded by
such a newspaper as the Chicago
Record Herald can scarcely be
exaggerated, and much of that
strength comes in the case of
this leading Chicago daily from
the fact that it is absolutely in
dependent, fearless and fair.
It is not the mouthpiece of any
interest except that Of the pub.
lie. The Record.Herald cham.
pions the cause OF the good. the
clean, the beneficial in every
matter of city, state or national
moment. It is tho knowledge
on the part of it's readers that t.
cares not whom it hits OIL what
enemies it makes, SO long as it is
battling for the welfar.. of the
