stone Company have secured and con.
troll the use OF this latest invention.
They contend that the property which
they now own and control will have
sufficient output Of limestone to sun
ply the needs OF the entire iron mark.
ct for years to come. This new pro-
cess. which they will use, reduces the
cost of labor to the minimum, and
while their plant viii be on an ex.
tensive scale. comparatively few men
will be needed to handle their great
output. The men who are back of this
new corporation are said TO be in
position to secure unlimited capital
and they already have at their dis.
posal a million dollars, which will be
almost entirely used on the construc-
ton of the plant before they make a
shipment.
With the opening of spring. thesa
two new stone companies expect To
be in operation. The Jones G. Laugh.
lin people give ont that they expect
to ship daily, approximately. 100 car.
loads of stone, and 100 carloads OF
lime, which will require a daily
quarrying of 800 carloads. The Nation.
Limestone Company are exceedingly
conservative, and refuse absolutely to
give out any of their plans. In fact,
they say frankly that they do not care
to have the people in this vicinity
know what they intend to do, and are
asking no one to subscribe for any OF
their stock, or invest in any way in
their enterprise.
Looking at the future possibilities
of Martinsburg, from what has been
set forth, ii is reasonable to believe
that onehalf, at least, Of what is pro.
posed by these large corporations
will be realized. II such is the case
Martinsburg, which is now compar.
atively small manufacturing center
will become one Of the greatest, If not
the greatest, manufacturing center In

NEW BASKET BALL RULES.
An Effort Made to Reduce Roughness
In Play.

In Play.
Mere than so representatives from
nearly all the institutions in the east
in which basket ball is played accord
ing to the collegiate rules met in con
fer nee with the basket ball rules com
mittee in the Columbia university
gymnasium, Saturday afternoon. All
.Ge changes which have been made in
the rules since last season were care.
fully gone over and explained BY
Harry Fisher, of Columbia; w. b..
Hyatt, OF Yale; Lieutenant J. w. Still
well, OF West Point. and Ralph Nor
gan, sf Pennsylvania, who took turns
in illustrating the rules.
An effort has been made 10 reduce
and eliminate the roughness which
has crept into the game, and special
legislation has been directed this year
against personal contact IN the game.
Hereafter men will be supposed to
follow the ball more closely and give
up the close hugging system oil guard
ing that has brought the game into
disrepute. In trying to get after the
ball the players must now strike at
the ball II they want to get 1t away
from the opposing player, and not ut
the man, as many players have done
In the past.
Keinath, who Is coaching tie Penn
syvania Ave this season, announced
as his opinion that the changes in the
rules would result in reduction In
the scoreing and that the game would
correspondingly kse in interest from
the spectators point OF view. He SAID
that the spectators preferred plenty
OF shooting, and with the guards hav-
ing the advantage over the forwards,
as will be the case under the changed
rules, scoring will be small.
Special attention Ia to be given this
year to the referees. Hyatt, chairman
OF the rules committee. cautioned the
officials present against allowing hold
ing and warned them TO enforce the
rules strictly. A list OF approved off,
cials in all parts of the country. such
as has been the custom with the foot
ball rules committee, has been pre-
pared and sent TO all the institutions
where the game Is played. A method
of checking the work OF these officials
has been devised by the committee.
After each game the captains OF the
two teams are required TO send in n
criticism of the work OF the Official.
stating briefly his qualifications for
the work.
In order to prevent unnecessary de-
lay team may ask for time cut only
three times in each half, and no fur
Their time will be allowed, even when
man Is injured or forced TO leave
the game for some other reason. An
other change Is that when a player
touches the boundary line he will be
called out OF bounds, instead OF when
he puts one f.ot entirely out of the
court. as the old rule stated. When
the ball is returned from out OF bounds
without being touched by player ii
is understood dead.
A lot o. tine was taken up In dis
cussing proposed rule forbidding 0
player to make leap or take long
step before dribbling, passing or
throwing for the basket and the rule
was modified SO that he bah has q
leave the players hand beic.e the
foot brought up from behina touches
the floor.
