GEORGETOWN QUITS GAME.
Football VIII Be Suspended Until New
Rules Are Made.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 17.-At a
meeting of the faculty of GEORGETOWN
University held tonight it was unani-
mously decided to suspend football at
that institution until such time as the
National Football Rules Committee
gives assurance that the game has
been shorn of its dangerous features.
This action was taken as a result
of the fatal injuries received by Arch
er Christian, left halfback of the Uni
versity of Virginia football team, in
the game between that institution and
the University of Georgetown last
Saturday, although the matter had
been under serious consideration FOL
some time.

A DANGEROUS COMBINE
The Business Public SheuId
Sit Up Quick and
Take Notice.
Long Stride Toward the Complete
Control by One Corporation of All
Wire Communication in the
United States,

Boston, Mass, Nov ia long
stride toward the complete control by
one corporation of all the wire CON-
munication in the United States, was
made today in the acquisition by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company of the control of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company.
In order to make the absorption
complete the incorporation of a new
billion dollar company, it is said, will
be necessary to include the s592,475,-
400 of bonds and stock of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Compa-
ny, known as the Bell Company, and
the outstanding $165, 100000 of bonds
and stock of the Western Union.
The acquisition of the necessary
stock and voting rights of the West
ern Union by the Bell Telephone has
been in progress for about six months.
The work has been conducted quietly,
and only a sufficient amount to insure
control, said to be 81 per cent, was
taken over.
The officers Of the Bell Company re-.
gard the step as one of economy SOLE
ly. They point out that ever since the
telephone has been a factor in human
life, it has had to compete with the
telegraph. Lines have been parallel
and there has been an immense
amount of duplication. The officers
of the telephone company believe tha.
the merger will save the Bell Com
pany $75,000,000 in new construction
while it will also enable the utiliza-
ton at the same time Of wires for
both te1egraphing and telephoning.
The history of the Western Union
dates back to before the Civil War
but the Bell Company is Of compare
tttvely recent origin. Both companies
i pursued the usual method of absorb
ing smaller companies. The small
companies acquired by the Western
Union have been lost in oblivion

Ball PLAYERS Talk / II. or
HOLDING I OWN ! MEETINGS e | \ IS |
Plan to Get Their Side Of Disputed
Questions Before Masnates still
3 Being Quietly Discussed.

Many ball players in the American
and National leagues are talking IN q
quiet way of an organization among
themselves along new lines. It Is not
proposed. to oppose the club owners
in any way, but to attempt to get the
players side of all disputed questions
before the public by holding annual
meetings, just as the magnates DO,
and perhaps at the same place and
time. '&s s,%
Ball players declare-and present
many arguments to back up their
claim-that salaries, instead Of being
reduced, should be increased, mas
much as the average career OF a
major league ball player Is short, and
that a salary of $4,000 or even $4,000
year for five, six or seven seasons
is not to be compared with salaries
of from $1,000 to $4,000 extending
over a long period.
In support of this declaration, the
players point to the history OF the
American league. OF the 100 and
more players who took part In the
games played by that league in 1900
the first year of its existence-only
eight are left. Hartsel, then with In
dianapolis; Hemphill and Shafer,
then with Kansas City; Elberfeld,
then with Detroit; Waddell and Con-
roy, then with Milwaukee, and Isbell
and O'Leary, then with the White
SIX, are still in the American league.
Even of the 800 men who played In
the American league in 1901, after
Milwaukee and Kansas
City had been replaced by Baltimore,
and Boston, but very few
are left. Criger and Sullivan are the
only catchers, 1sbell the only first
baseman, Larry and Williams the only
secon baseman, Bradley the only third
baseman, unless Conroy and Elberfeld
(they played third base them are also
included. =. t!iss '*E.& =. 49,,
Only two of the outf1elders in the

GOLD COLLAR COMPANY RESUMES work.
Montrose Lode Purchased and Will be Operated
in Connection With Other Properties

ed a saving OF perhaps less than
one-half. The Montrose and Hydrant
are two of the Oldest patents in
Prosser gulch.
The Gold Collar properties besides
the addition of the Montrose now
consist of the Hydrant, the Hydrant
millsite and the Carrie G. These are
all patented. On the old possessions
something like s5O,O0O.OO has been
expended in improvements. The work
ing shaft on the Hydrant has been
sunk to depth of I'll feet This
depth is sufficient to permit of ex-
tensive mining for the next five
years. Shallow shafts show the out
cropping of the vein the full length
of the property and the conditions
now are the very best for blocking
out vast areas of stopping ground. On
account of the expense of handling
the water from the surface very lit
tie mining has been done in the bot
tom levels and practically all the stop
ing done has been above the 347-
foot level. With the advent of the
Newhouse tunnel into the district in
which these properties are located,
the workings will be drained for all
time. The tunnel will intercept the
group at depth of 1,SOO feet.
w. T. Dumbleton, mining engi-
neer of Denver. made a report on the
properties which was most favorable
to say the least. He looked into the
proposition thoroughly and according
to his report production of $751;
100000 has been made. His opinion
was that the mine will become a great
producer. There is every reason for
coinciding with his opinion as the
Gold Collar properties are in the hear
of a district that has a record for
wealth production unsurpassed by any
district in the county. The mines
are contiguous to the Gunnell, Grand
Army, Pagan and Concrete, which are
saidEto have produced nearly $1,000
600 for every 100 feet.
The officers and directors are prin-
cipally Cincinnati, O., people. They
