stage LIKES THE NEW RULES
Work Of Foot Hall Committee PIeases
Chicago Director.

NEW YORK. April W.-Director Alonzo
A. Stage of the University of Chicago had
the following comment to make on the
work of the foot ball rules committee at
their recent meeting In this city.
Il think the work of the rules committee
was conservative and will work nothing
but good for the gridiron game" said
Stagg. All the members concurrcd in the
belief that three points is all a goal from
the field is worth. There was some argu-
ment whether or not the new rule would
tend TO eliminate kicking altogether, but !
do not think it will act that way at all;
neither did the majority of the other mem
bers. On the other hand, it will lessen the
possibility of a team with a good kicker
defeating a team which is superior in the
other departments of the game.
A to the rule allowing q team to place
the ball in scrimmage or kick as it chooses
after a touchback, thei object is to equallze
the offense and defense, more especially
when a strong wind is blowing against the
team defending its goal. Under the old
regulations. it was almost impossible for
an eleven playing against a hard wind to
take the ball out of the vicinity of its
own goal. If it did succeed. the ball was
immediately put pack DY "A KICK from the
opposing side. The new rule will, give the
side laboring under the disadvantage Of
such a wind the opportunity of at least
two scrimmages to gain ground before
being forced to punt.
Several other Innovations IN the rules
were proposed, but failed to receive the
necessary votes. Most prominent among
these was that Of Paul Dashed of Anna
polls, relating to the number of yards to
he gained when a team has the bah I'm its
own territory. The navy expert suggested
that only a five-yard gain be demanded
when the team with the ball is i'm its own
territory; that is. between the center Of
the field and its own goal, the distance to
be changed to ten yards when the ball is
pushed into the opponents half of the
field, DR.. Lambeth Of the University Of
Virginia also was an ardent supporter OF
this change, but many of the committee
thought it would be giving too great an
advantage to the side having possession Of
the ball, and it failed of adoption"

TRAvERs AFTER SCOT GOLFERS
U. :. Amateur Champion Takes Part
In British hnmpionahIps.


NEW YORK. April lO.-Jerome d. Tray
ers. amateur golf champion OF the United
States for 1907 and 1908. sailed for Scotland
recently. for the purpose of participating
In the British championship at Muirfield,
May a to q.
Mr.. Travers. according to the opinion Of
those in q position to judge, has every
prospect Of beating the foreigners at their
OWN game.
II he does so, it will be the first time a
native born American has wrcsted the blue
ribbon event Of all golfdom from the Brit
ish.
In 1904 Walter j. Travis, then the Amer
lean champion, went across the pond, and
much to the surprise Of everybody there
went through the tournament and brought
the championship cup home with him.
Mr.. Travis won through his phenomenal
putting. the record of which will go down
through British golfing annals as long as
golf is played over there.
Notwithstanding many urgent Invitations
to 60 over to try to repeat the perform
snce, Travis has confined his golf to Amer
lean soil. probably content to admire the
medal he won, emblematic Of the highest
honor in the golfing year 1904.
Even though Travis, an American. won
the British never conceded it a distinctly
American victory, owing to the fact that
Travis was born in Australia and under
the British flag.
1t is Mr.. Travis plan TO go direct to
Muirfield and get in one solid months
practice there before the championship.
The British championship is run off on
the basis of all match play, There is no
qualifying round, as with us This year,
however, the entries are to be limited to
men rated at scratch or better at their
home clubs.

SKIN DISEASES

In this article we want to explain to you the cause OF skin diseases,
and also offer suggestions, founded on reason and experience, which
will enable you to cure yourself if you are afflicted with any of the
various forms of this trouble.
- The skin receives its necessary nourishment from the blood.
Every pore is kept open and every gland kept healthy by continually
feeding on the nutritious properties which are distributed throughout the
system by a pure, rich blood supply AS long as this normal condition
exists the cuhcle will be soft, smooth, and free from eruptions; when
however the circulation is contaminated with humors and impurities
Omaha daily bee., 1909-04-11

its supply OF nutritive properties
is diminished, and it becomes a
sharp, acrid fluid which diseases
instead of preserves the natural
health and texture of the skin.
Lying just beneath the outer
covering or tisSue-Skin is a SEN
Sitive membranouS flesh which
surrounds and protects the tiny
veins, pores and glands. 1t is
here the impurities Of the blood
are deposited, and the acrid matter
causes irritation and Inflammation
which splits or breaks the thin,
tiSSue-like cuticle, and the result
is outwardly manifested in Ecze-
ma, letter, Salt Rheum, or some
other dishguring or annoying
eruptive disease.
1t can readily be seen that
since Skin Diseases are the result
of bad blood, there can be but one
way to cure them-purify the
blood. Salves, washes, lotions,
ETC., are not able to do so, because
they do not reach the blood. Such
treatment is of no value except
for its ability to temporarily relieve
itching and assist in keeping the
skin clean.

Obligation Of that agreement. Until he

to join the Cubs and play the game. we
have had enough of contract iumpine.
Hal Chase alone gave us our fill OF that.
Organized base ball was simply outraged
by the unbridled freedom with which Chase
was allowed to violate its laws and burles-
que its authority. The New York American
management and National commission
stood for 1t and thereby became cuipable.
and encouraged Chase and every other
playet to follow his example. Chase was a
great player and got away with IL. A
man of less value probably would have
failed. King is a great player. Probably
II he hadn't been he would not have at
tempted what he did. But great or not,
the Cubs management has done itself and
base ball an honor by refusing to lie down
and let King ride over II as Chase did.
Chase will repeat his antics whenever he
wants to. whenever things don't 60 to suit
him and, so far as those to whom he should
be responsible. are concerned, he will have
every reason to do so. It's high time for
an example.

THREE WARSHIPS SENT
TO CONVOY YACHT OF
CZAR TO COWES PORT

COWES,. Isle of Wight, Aug. l.
The roadstead and the club house
lawn of the Royal yacht squadron pre-
sented a brilliant appearance today.
Large crowds have gathered for re-
gatta week, which this year will be
greatly enhanced by the visiting Rus
sian emperor.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
and various members of the royal
families of Europe passed the day in
round of visits at Osborne house,
King Edwards seaside residence.
Tonight the Indomitable, the In
vincible and the Inflexible-three bat
tleships of the Dreadnaught class
sailed to meet the Russian imperial
Nicholas to Cowes. This will be the
first official visit of the Russian mon
arch to Great Britain, his visit in
1906 to Balmoral having been private.
1t is needful to go back to the year
1916. when Emperor Alexander came
to England, for a visit similar to the
present one. The event is regarded as
one of the highest Importance and as
sealing the triple entente between
Russia, France and Great Britain and
indicating that the long period of
estrangement and suspicion between
Great Britain and Russia is ended.
Officially the visit will be afioat, al
though it is expected the Russian
monarch will land privately at Cowes
Tuesday and pay visits King Ed
ward, Queen Alexandra and the prince
of Wales will sail at 10:45 o'clock on
board the Victoria and Albert to meet
the Russian imperials, who will board
the kings yacht for luncheon and a
subsequent review of the British fleet.
Great precautions have been taken to
insure the safety of the Russian Wis
itorS.

; CHIEFS FOR
POLICE FORCE
OCEAN PARK BOASTS TRIPAR-
TITE OFFICE
Officer Who Is Deposed Refuses to
Give Ground-city Marshal and
New Appolntee Issue
Orders Also

OCEAN PARK, Aug. This city
has had the distinction of being ruled
by a triumvirate of police heads for
the last twenty-four hours, being prob
ably the only city in the United States
supporting three chiefs at one time.
The trouble started last evening.
when City Marshal j. d. Simpson
called upon Chief of Police John Per-
rent to inform him his services were no
longer required by the department, and
appointing Patrolman Walter Austin
as acting chief.
Perrent refused to be discharged,
claiming his appointment came from
the board of trustees and that they
had the sole power to discharge him.
Simpson maintained his stand, and the
new chief took charge of the depart
ment, with the result that three sepa-
rate and distinct sets of orders have
been issued to the patrolmen today,
those of Simpson and Austin on the
one side and those of Perrent on the
other.
The deposed chief says he will hold
on until the trustees meet in regular
session tomorrow evening and will pre-
sent his case to them. City Marshal
Simpson claims that, as his office is
elective, the trustees, also holding cleo
tive positions, have no power to in
terfere with the police department.
Austin, the acting chief, is simply sit
ting pat, awaiting the decision of those
in authority over him.
1t Is understood the whole matter
will be threshed out at the trustees
meeting Monday evening. and a lively
time is anticipated.

TARIFF
BILL TO BECOME
LAW THIS WEEK
EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
NEARS ITS END
DEBATE ON CONFERENCE RE-
Suits WILL BE BRIEF
Some Senators Who Voted Against
Bill When on Its Passage Will
Favor Adoption of
Report
lRv Associated Press.l

w AsHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Unless
w something happens to provoke
heated discussion of political
character the new tariff bill should be
enacted into law and the extraordinary
session of congress adjourned before
the end of this week. Inquiry among
senators opposed to the conference re-
port indicates the debate will not be
extended.
The senate will meet at 10 o'clock
tomorrow. The session probably will
begin at that hour each day and will
continue until or 7 o'clock daily until
the report is adopted. If it is found
that more senators desire to speak
than have already given notice, it is
possible evening sessions may be held.
Senator Aldrich is determined the
conference report shall not be carried
over into next week. He does not eX-
pect to occupy much time himself.
Senators opposing free hides probably
will discuss that subject and all of the
Republicans who voted against the bill
when it was on its passage in the sem
ate may take occasion to explain their
action Some of these senators will
vote for the adoption of the confer
ence report.
Senator Culberson, leader of the mi
nority, is authority fo~ the statement
the Democrats will debate the confer
ence report thoroughly, but will not
flibuster against its adoption. Sen
ators Daniel and Bailey, members of
the committee on finance, will speak
at length against the adoption of the
report and take the lead in voicing
Democratic opposition.
Some of the senate leaders predict
a vote will be had on the conference
report as early as Thursday and that
the special session of congress can be
closed Friday.
