ly call your attention to the exhi-
bit of the Hilea school In the Inn

4 few days ago Mr.. Babbitt re-
ceived a letter from the principal OF
the school enclosing photographs OF
the school grounds as they were
year ago. and now. The photo or
the grounds today is produced but
unfortunately that OF the old rock

duce. Mr.. Babbitt says It is The
greatest transformation he has ever
seen. The pupils have done won

But the grounds are not the only

mograph records the tremors of the
earth, a sun dial marks the time and
an thermometer records the speed or

not scientifically accurate, they are
at least a splendid education for the
children both In the making and the

DEAD IN A LODGING HOUSE
TRAMP IDENTIFIED AS MISSING
NEW YORKER.
Motor Company Manager Left Home
in July Because Of Trouble
With a Woman.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. November H.
The body OF a supposed tramp who died
in ten-cent lodging house last Thurs
day was tonight identified as the remains
of W. c. Lyle, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Motor Improvement
Company, who has been missing since
July Is.
Identification was effected by Albert L.
Talcott, attorney. and constable from a
Justices court, who were summoned to
the county morgue on advices from New
York. Lytle disappeared Immediately
following a minor dispute over a diamond
ring. in which a woman procured his ar
rest Worry over the trouble affected
Lytle's bearing toward his friends. and
a few days before the day set for his
trial he vanished. Talcott was his bonds
man, having signed the $1,000 bail war
ranty.
Last week ragged stranger appeared
at the lodging house referred to and reg
istered as NJ. Marion The next morn
ing he was found dead. penniless. The
cause of his death is still mystery to
the coroner and other physicians who
examined him.
There is no clue to his movements while
gone from Cleveland except that In Sep
TENDER he took rooms in the outskirts of
the clearinghouse district under the name
of Mason. The label on his coat, bear
ing the name of a New York tailor, led
to the Summoning of Talcott, whom
Lyle had given as reference to the tailor
when the suit was bought.
Lytle came here from Philadelphia.

REFORM FOOT BALL RULES.
President Alderman Of Virginia
Says Danger Must Be Eliminated.


RICHMOND. Va, November 17-Presi-
dent Alderman Of the University Of Vir-
ginia, In a statement Of his views on the
subject Of foot ball here. says In part:
organized athletics has brought into
American college life distinct elements Of
good and Of difficulty. and foot ball, as
the intensest form OF organized athletics.
has brought a special group Of good
things and Of Objectionable things. When
the total il summed up, however. the
sum Of the good far exceeds the sum Of
the evil.
The trouble with the game Is that the
risk Of life inherent in II Is inordinaAe.
.. 1t Is perfectly clear that intel
lfgent, resolute and concerted action
should be taken to remove this inordinate
risk. There exists an intercollegiate ath-
letic committee, whose function II Is to
study the game, to the end that 1t may
constantly check the dangers existing in
it. This committee has not been idle
.. but 1t has not yet struck at the root
OF the trouble . The authorities
Of American colleges should stand behind
this committee and insist that 1t find
and remove the elements Of inordinate
danger In the sport. The Ameri-
can public should also take a similar
stand In this matter.
II believe II would be a calamity to
take out OF college life the discipline that
springs out of such a great game as foot
ball, but do believe and deliberately de-
clare that the peril and injury inherent
in the strategy of this game should be
eliminated or the game itself abandoned"
