history of the Rocky Mountain divi-
delayed trains. All yesterday morn

senger trains from the east, awaiting
an opportunity to proceed on their
way A rotary snow plow was started
from Missoula at about 10 o'clock yes

top of the Evaro mountain. At 2
o'clock the snoWplow had passed Reid.
but encountered bad going through
Nagos, small place about three
miles west of Reid. At Nagos the wind
was blowing hard, driving a heavy
drift from the cliff. The snow at Ma

deep and was packed hard. The plow
did not force a passage until about
o'clock, reaching Evaro at about 4: 80.

nearly 70 years. The old darky John

more than so years. 1t stands alone
in beech forest about seven miles
from Augusta and in and around 1t to-
day were gathered half a hundred
farmers, with sprinkhng of city folks
invited from Augusta for the occasion.
These included Senator Bourne of Ore
gon. John Hays Hammond and Frank
H. Hitchcock. Mayor Henry Ham
mond, veteran of more than
years, welcomed Mr.. Taft for the
farmers and expressed the hope that
as the Llama of Tibet is regarded as
the incarnation of Buddha, Mr.. Taft
might be the incarnation of George
Washington and have the realization
of the expressed desire, Peace among
all nations and the restoration of har-
mony. equality and fraternity be-

Mr.. Taft expressed his gratitude for
his reception. After the barbecue had

in state all day, where they were
viewed by thousands of people, the re-
mains of Father" Horton, founder of
San Diego, were laid to rest today.

Washington, Jan. 9.--In the prepa-
ration of his speech in reply to the
presidents charges Senator Tillman
has failed to find number of papers
bearing on the oregon land case In
connection with the present contro-
versy.
The papers, he says. were inclosed
In a large envelope and were left in
his private desk in his committee room
at the capitol, when he left Washing
ton last October on account OF his
illness, but they cannot now be found.
The senator does not charge that the
papers have been distracted by a
government detective, who may have
been shadowing him, but he does not
say that it would be impossible for
such official to gain access to his room
and his desk, both of which were fast
ened only with ordinary lock and the
papers, he says, are very important
in the preparation of his case to sub
stantiate his defense.
Notwithstanding the loss Mr.. Till
man expresses confidence in his ability
to make satisfactory reply to the
president.
HE will be hoisted by his own pc
tard," declared Mr.. Tillman.
Never Comes sinsly.
Senator Tillman is affording an IL
lustration of the old adage, Trouble
never comes singly." In addition to
the difficulty about the Oregon lands,
Postmaster Barnes of Washington is
trying to collect from him a bill OF
fla ,ooil
government typewriter which the
senator had franked from his home in
South Carolina to washington. Mr..
Barnes insists the senator should
pay postage at letter rates. The post
masters notification to Mr.. Tillman
was contained in a letter in which he
said:
"Inasmuch as matter of this char
acter is not entitled to transmission
through the mails under the frank
provision, it is being held for the
postage The box weighs so pounds
and as it is sealed, 1t is chargeable
with postage at the first-class rate.
which amounts to SIG. Kindly remit
the amount due and have the package
removed at your earliest convenience"
nefuSeS TO ray.
AS the typewriter is government
property, Senator Tillman replied to
Mr.. Barnes by saying In effect that
he could collect from its owner Fol-
lowing is the full text OF his letter:
II have your letter notifying me
that the typewriter mailed at Trenton,
8. c., under my frank and addressed
to me here is held for postage. Dur
ing my service in the senate type
writer's have been franked to and from
the same places as public docum ments
and I was not aware of any law or
ruling on the subject. The typewrit-
er belongs to the senate and not to
me and has been used in my public
correspondence. Under the circum-
stances I decline to pay the SIS de-
manded because it is not justly mine.
You may sell the typewriter or deliv-
er 1t to the sergeant-at-ar arms of the
senate as you see fit. Had I known
that 1t was not frankable could have
shipped 1t by express or freight But
in this case 1t would be one department |
Of the government sending the prop
erty Of another part Of the govern |
ment and seeking the collection of

been franked heretofore" |

WANTS TO FILL UP
THREE-EYE VACANCY
Waterloo Will Have Representatives
at Chicago Meeting With This
End in View.

NJ. H. Sexton, president of the Three
Eye league, received a telephone mes
sage today from Waterloo. Iowa, to the
effect that that city will be represent
ed at the meeting of the directors of
the Three-Eye league which is to take
place in Chicago next Monday Prcsi-
dent Sexton is very much pleased with
the manner in which Waterloo holds
to it's determination to win a place in
the Three-Eye circuit. The city had
nearly a score of representatives at
the last meeting of the Iague and five
were in attendance at the Mamphts
meeting of the National association.
The citizens are evidently determin ed
to have baseball, and plans are on foot
to fight for berth in the Central as
sociaticn in case the Three-Eye re-
fuses to admit the city to its circuit.
Waterloo is willing to guarantee 4
total attendance during the year IF
$4,000 and it is the belief of the league
president that Waterloo has made
better proposition than any of the
other applicants for the vacant berth
which now exists.

STAGE HAS IDEAS
Veteran Chicago University
Coach Would Change the
Football Rules.
AIM TO AVOID ACCIDENTS
Advises Giving Two Chances to Make
10 Yards and Elimination of
Pushing or Pulling.

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-Radical changes
in the football rules, aimed at lessen
ing the possibility of deaths and injur-
les, which he feels have given the
game a black eye, were recommended
yesterday by Director A. A. Stage of
the University of Chicago, who is one
of the western representatives of the
national rules committee.
Stage intended to keep his recon-
mendations to himself until the meet
ing of the conference committee to-
morrow afternoon at the Chicago Beach
hotel but a special session of the ath-
letic board caused him to change his
mind

ton by this body of Is that Stagg be
instructed to work for notifications in
the rules which may be calculated TO
make the game safer, the coach con-
sented to make statement of his po-
sition on football reform
Maker Five Suggestions
CAS- it looks to me- he said, ''the
ways of remedying the rules may be
approached as follows:
Il. Allowing two chances to make
10 yards, or increasing the distance to
10 yards and giving a team three
chances, as Walter Camp has suggest
ed. In this way forward passing will
be encouraged by making the use of
the play more often necessary.
y. BY prohibiting pushing or pull
ing of the runner with the ball. which
now does lots of damage, for, first, a
single player now is often struck by
the combined force of two or three
men; and, second, it takes the COM
bined strength of two or more men
falling under or on top of the attack.
ing players to stop them.
'3. By making a penalty for crawl
ing with the ball. which would encour-
age standing up in running.
Il. By increasing the penalty for
piling on player unnecessarily.
'5- By emphasizing the need of the
referees blowing his whistle when the
ball is stopped, thus preventing mass
ing"
