Washington, June 4-From the known attitude of some prominent army off cials the impression has been gained that the unanimous report of the army board of engineers on the proposed Mis- sissippi deep waterway project from St. Louis to the Gulf of Mexico, which prob ally will be before Congress before the erld of next week. takes the ground that tic commercial interests of the case do not warrant the expenditure of vast sums which would be required to construct and

maintain the proposed waterway No in- timation, however, of the conclusion of the engineers could be obtained today.
 The proposed deep waterway from St. Louis to the gulf is a part of the great project to connect the Great Lakes with the gulf by channel sufficient to ac- commodate large craft throughout the year According to the explanation adopted by Congress when it authorized the survey of the Mississippi the engin- eers were to collect data on the construe tion of a channel IA feet deep.

RUSSIAN TROOPS IN

Small Faith in Shah'S BeIated
Conversion to Reform.


fBy Morning journal Special IAassx wirsl
st. Petersburg. May 4.-Dispatchcs
from Teheran say that the shah OF
Persia has accepted the project for re
forms advanced by Great Britain and
Russia. The Two powers have made
arrangements te grant a loan to Per
sia as soon as the date of tho elections
shall have been decided on.
The Russian foreign office is not
disposed to attach much weight to
the news hat the shah of Persia has
proclaimed reforms in hat country,
having learned. through bitter expert
ence, to mistrust such pronouncia-
mcntos until they have actually been
put into effect.
The pressure on the shah will not
be relaxed for the troops at Tabriz re-
tired before the new government,
based on the present promises IS in
stalled and has proved its ability to
cope with the chronic disorders in
Persia.
As had been anticipated the Rus
sian expedition at Tabriz is already
finding II necessary to extend its oper-
alton. The Kurdish tribesmen, baked
in their attempts to plumber Tabriz,
have turned their attention to the put
lying villages and owns and appeals
have been made from various quar-
ers TO General Snarlsky. the Russian
commander for protection.
The situation is particularly alarm
ing at Uruemiah. the centers OF for
cign missionary activities. but this Is
q weeks march from the Tabriz and
the foreign office is UNIV Hing as yet
TO send a force there.

An important change IN the foot.
ball rules was made by the intercol-
leeiate football rules committee which
met in New York City recently, in the
reduction Of points for a goal from the
field from four to three. The object
OF this change is to prevent two goals
from the field counting more than a
hard won touchdown and goal. Two
goals from the field now will count
the same as a touchdown and goal.
The change will reduce the inpor.
lance to cams of sta field kickcrs.
and viii make it harder for a medic
ere team with a good kicker beating
cut a better all around team without
a star kicker. There were numerous
instances last year when games We're
won on account OF the high value Of
two goals from the field.
The only other change Of impor
lance was in relation to iutiction Of
penalties. During the year there wa2
frequent confusion over their innie
ton when two penalties had been in
CURED by one team for the same play.
The rules nov provide that in case
of two penalties being incurred the Of
Tending team will have the option of
saying which penalty shall be i'm
posed.
The rules relating to a touchdown
provide that the side making a touch
back shall have the option OF kicking
out or keeping the bali for a scrim
mage on the line. The change is de
signed to remove some OF the hard
ships of a team down under its own
goal. especially when ii has been
forced there otherwise than by rush
Ing. II gives them a chance for two
rushes before the kick and a better
chance to hold the line after the
Kick.
The committee adopted a rule pro
viding that when a center feints or
makes a fake attempt to pass the bali
his team shall ~ penallzed five yards.
Another change relating TO the en-
forcement of penalties provides thai
no penalty can be imposed TO carry
the ball over the line either for a
touchdown or a safety. 1t also pro
vides that hereafter play must stop
Immediately when the referee blows
his whistle for a foul. There was
some confusion in this particular last
year due to the fact hal play con
tinued after the whistle was blown.
In some cases the changes simply are
in the way of Qualification of rules
as they have existed.
There were no changes in the rules
relating to the forward pass, which
limited at previous to the meet
ing. One feature OF this rule was
clarified to provide that the ends who
are more than one foot behind the
.scrimmage line shall be out of play |
and ineligible to handle the bull.
Heretofore the rules confused the ref
when the end was more than a
foot but less than a yard behind the
line, and the rule now makes the def
mite provision as to the dead zone
Heretofore the rules have contained
no diagram of the position of various
players. and this viii be femedied BY
rs inclusion hereafter.
