FOOTBALL COACHES AND
STARS SEE RUGBY GAME

New York, Dec. 11.-From all parts
of the United States football men
gathered here today to witness a
game of Canadian Rugby between the
Hamilton and Ottawa teams. Repre-
sentatives of practically all the big
eastern colleges, together with many
former stars and coaches from west.
ern schools were present, with the
frank statement they were seeking
suggestions for revision of the rules
of the American game. The Canadian
game, like the American game, is a
variation of English rugby. Fourteen
men play on side. Interference as
understood in this country is absolute
1y barred. So are forward passes, but
there is much quick, clever passing
as man is about to be tackled. If
man is ruled off for rough play
there is no substitute allowed.

CHAIN GANG RECRUIT
TAKES FRENCH LEAVE

One of the members of the city
chain gang made his getaway yester-
day afternoon from under the keen
eye of Special officer Jess Hunziker
On account of the great many employ
les in the city's force no particular at
tention was paid to the mans leaving.
Last night when it began to get cold
the man came back and wanted to go
be put in jail again and wastaken into
custody as a ''vag." Many people in
city seem to think that there are too
many in the chain gang but what are
the authorities to do when a man
comes to them and surrenders himself
as vagrant. To ignore them is on
ly encouraging the worthless charac-
ter to go about the city and in their
desire to obtain food and lodging they
may assault some one or commit
robbery.

BRITISH PRIME MINISTER
BITTERLY SCORES LORDS

London, Dec. 11.-At monster
meeting las: night in Albert Hall, Her
bert Henry Asquith, British prime
minister, laid down the policy or
which the liberal government is ap'
pealing to the country. He repeated
what had been said by the other min
isters-that if it we're returned to
power the government would demand
the limitation of the power of the
house of lords-and then went a step
farther and pledged that the liberal
party would grant self government to
Ireland.
The meeting was marked by the
greatest enthusiasm of the audience,
entirely composed of men, women
having been denied admission in the
fear that there might be counter DEM
onstrations by suffragettes. Every
corner of the hall had been searched
for women and a small band Of
them was routed out but managed to
get two male spoilers into the meet
ing who interrupted Mr.. Asquith mo-
mentarily with the cries: Votes for
women" Then they were promptly
elected.

NOTED SCIENTIST THE
GUEST OF LAS VEGAS

DIR. Joseph Spinden, late professor
of Archaeology in Harvard university,
and now employed by the American
Museum of New York City, is engag-
ed in research work at Las Vegas at
present, arriving here yesterday.
DR.. Spinden, who is widely known
as a scientist, is trying to find 1
there be any relationship between the
Pueblo Indians of New Mexico anc
the Indians of Central America, and
to this end spent the greater part OF
yesterday analyzing the large col
lection of mqrSuary aud ssindustria
pottery from the ruins of Tsankaw
and Ottawi, in the museum of the
New Mexico Normal university To
day he started on tour of scientific
investigation of the region about III
Porvenir and Harvey's ranch.
When the Archaeological Institute
of America was permanently establish
ed at Santa Fe, which, by the way is
now presided over by Prof. Jesse Nus
baum, formerly of Las Vegas, it was
said that New Mexico would become
the mecca for the great scientists. DR..
Spinden's visit is the first to verify
this prediction. He is being shown
every courtesy and attention by those
in Indian research work.

successfully evaded by the simple de-
vice of transfer of ownership of the
property to corporation, all of whose
stock shall be owned or controlled
by the carrier, congress should amend
the statute so as to make 1t an ef-
fectual and not a merely illusory pro-
hibition or else repeal 1t.
In the matter of public land fraud
prosecutions the attorney general
makes clear his determination in no
respect to abate the effort to undo,
SO far as may be, the frauds (which
have been for so long time perpe-
trated in the procuring for private in
dividuals of portions of the public
domain, contrary to the conditions
under which congress has authorized
these lands to be patented"
Important recommendations contain
ed in the report include those for a
broadening of the right of appeal Of
the government in criminal cases; a
repeal of Section $50 Of the revised
statutes regarding evidence in Grim
inal cases, the enactment of gen.
eral immunity statute to effect the
conditions which arise in the endeav-
or to procure testimony for the gov
ernment; favoring national law
providing for indeterminate sentences
and a medication of the statute fixing
the punishment for embezzlement or
of the funds of ma
tional bank at Imprisonment for five
years.
The attorney general refers to the
unsatisfactory sanitary conditions at
the District of Columbia jail which
he says is reproach to the national
government and he earnestly recon-
ends an appropriation adequate to
make necessary improvements.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WICKER
SHAM URGES VIGOROUS
PROSECUTION
SUBMITS ANNUAL REPORT
ASKS CONGRESS FOR $4,000 APP.
PRoPRlATIoN TO PROBE
FRAUDS

Washington, Dec. 11.-That the
department of justice intends a Wig
orous prosecution in the efforts to
recover all money due the government
as result of the sugar frauds at New
York and to punish all who may have
participated in them is shown by the
annual report of Attorney General
Wickersham made public today. AT
ter briefly reciting the facts in the
cases which are of public knowledge,
he says:
THE evidence has disclosed net
work of corruption not alone confin-
ed to the American Sugar Refining
company, extending over a period of
years and Affecting both importers
and officers of the government. 1t is
as yet premature to state the precise
extent of the conspiracy or the total
amount of the revenues of which the
government has been defrauded.
While 1t is feared that the statute
of limitations may have run in favor
of many of the malefactors who are
responsible for these frauds, yet an
effort will be made to obtain the pre-
else amount of which the government
has been defrauded, recover all the
moneys due and to punish all those
who may be found to have participat-
ed in any respect in the frauds, wheth-
er as officers or agents of the i'm
porters or as government officials.
earnestly request a special appropri-
alton of $4,000 to enable this work
to be effectively prosecuted"
Further litigation, touching the
commodities clause cases" arising
under the interstate commerce law
is promised by the attorney general.
Discussing the decision of the su.
preme court in those cases Mr.. Wick
ersham says it does not necessarily
determine the application of the stat
ute to cases where the commodities
transported are owned by corpora
tion, all, or substantially all, of whose
stock is owned by the carrier corpor-
alton at the time of transportation and
especially where the carrier shall
have transferred all of it's interest in
such commodities to a corporation
formed for the express purpose of
evading the prohibition of the COM
modities clause and all or substantial
ly all of the stock of which is owned
by the carrier.
"Those questions will be presented
for determination in the courts. If
