The Auditors find that the accounts OF
the Road, Poor and School funds of un-
seated taxes have been considerably over
paid by the Treasurer. but proper vouchers
Ior all the amounts paid. Taxpayers there
fore may be surprised that the funds could
De over paid and the treasurer still be
charged with substantial balances A brief
explanation: Every year the amount Of tax
es on the unsea,ed lands. every cent of
10 entered on the Commissioners' tax hook
and after the treasurer'a sale every two
years the Commissioners draw vouchers for
the amounts due the various districts less
the treasurers commissions and exonera-
tons, IL there are any. Taxes are always
being paid to the county treasurer one year
ahead OF the sale, which taxes for several
years have always been sufficient to main
tain balance in the various funds until
this year, when 1t is found that there was
not enough money to pay the amounts
checked against the unseated taxes Of
1905 and 1907, even though the taxes OF
1908 were included The board Of Commis-
sioners are not TO be blamed In the mat
ter, neither is their clerk at fault as ain
orders were issued strictly in accord with
1nBeated tax records.
In order, u possible. to determine the
why's and wherefores of the discrepancy
and to get the matter started right with the
next treasurers tax sale and avoid the con-
tinuance of overpayments the Auditors
carefully went over the Commissioners tax
ledger and the Treasurer's unseated tax
book, finding that some years ago checks
were drawn by the Commissioners for sums
in excess Of the amounts actually collected
by the treasurer. The Auditors found the
source of the cause Of the overpsyments
after going over the taxes in one fund for
three townships in years not necessary to
mention here.

LANGFORD TO FORCE
FIGHT WITH PAPKE
Negro Claims Middleweight Title
Bob Fitzsimmons to Reenter
Ring in Australia.

Pittsburg, Nov 2n.-Sam Langford,
who fights Mike Schreck here next
Tuesday evening, has laid claim to the
title of middleweight champion. By
this contention he intends to force
Billy Papke, who also claims the title,
to fight him.
Langford said yesterday that, whIe
he does not intend to give up his at
tempt to force Johnson into a match,
he is entitled to recognition as the
middleweight champion now that
Ketchel cannot make the weight by
making this claim LangfoTd admits he
has no other purpose in view than 20
force Papke to fight him.
Papke was matched last night N
New York TO meet Jack CTwin) Sulli-
van in a 12-round mill Dec. before
the Armory A. A. of Boston. Papke
is confident he can stow away the
fighting Bostonian as easily as Ketchel
did in that memorable encounter
waged on the coast several months
ago. Sullivan recently returned to the
ring and has displayed some traces Of
his old time speed.

PEORIA TEAM WILL
COMPLETE SCHEDULE
DistiIIery Squad Will Reorganize and
Play Thanksgiving Contest in
This City.

Peoria has finally notified the local
football management that it will have
team here Thanksgiving day TO op-
pose the local football warriors in the
annual turkey day contest. There was
considerable doubt yesterday as g
whether Or not the Peoria boys would
show up, as they have had some
trouble which had resulted in a partial
disbanding of the team. Several Of
the parents of the players had objected
to their sons playing and in addition
several of the players themselves had
a row with the authorities Of the
school which resulted in their deser
ton of the football squad. Most of
them have been brought back into the
fold and they will be in position to put
up a good contest against the local
school team

Missouri, Washington university, Uni
University.
The arrangement will terminate at
the end of the 1910 football season.
The Missouri Valley representatives
were c. E McLung of Kansas and ..
w Morehouse of Drake.
The action of the conference on the
dangerous football question was a
complete backing up of the Univer-
sity of Chicago attitude, that school
having introduced the subject. Coach
Stage talked on the subject at length
and favorable sentiments were unex-
pectedIy numerous.
Is Blow to Game.
The vote was regarded as a body
blow to the game, and a vigorous re-
buke to those football authorities who
have expressed Indifference or impa-
thence with the attempt to lessen ia
talities.
1t is believed that eastern colleges
will follow the lead of the west in rec
changes to the rules COM
mittee. as it is known that Walter
Camp of Yale distinctly favors modi-
fcations
Police Jurisdiction Urged.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Prohibit all
playing of football that is dangerous
TO life and health.
Allow the police to step into any
game as soon as it becomes dangerous.
Require a license for all football
games.
A regulation embodying these fea-
lures has been suggested to District
Commissioner MacFarland by Corpora
ton Counsel z. H. Thomas as a practi-
cal way to regulate football in the dis
trict so that the playing will not re
suit in the death or serious injury Of
the players. 1t is pointed out that
prize fighting has been regulated in
similar manner in some jurisdictions.
Following the action of the faculty
of Georgetown university in abolish
ing Rugby football from the list of ath-
letic sports of that institution. the
principals of the five district high
schools met Thursday and by vote
of to l cut the game off the high
school list.

to secure immediate modification Of
the rules with a view to avoiding IA
talities and serious accidents.

of Chicago, member of the last foot
ball rules committee of the United
States intercollegiate association, was
instructed TO present the vests at,i-
tude at the next meeting of the sd
preme rules: body. The representatives
recommended no especial changes,
that question being left with Coach
Stage.
The conference session was the
most noteworthy since the famous re
form" meeting. In addition to turn
ing down the present football rules
the faculty. members voted to hold the
1910 conference meet at Urbana and
entered into years arrangement
with the Missouri Valley conference,
allowing Kames between it and the
colleges OF the big eight"
TDra1v Up Resolution.
The following resolution was drawn
up to express the sense of the con-
ference:
Resolved, That the western inter

the football rules committee that such
notifications and changes of the rules
be Immediately made as will tend US
far as possible to prevent fatalities
and serious accidents"
The new provision for games with
the Missouri Valley schools provides
that games played between the two
sections shall involve no change in
the rules Of the sections. The Mis-
souri, Valley schools play graduates,

session with the directors of the Three
Eye league when the latter meet in
Chicago at the Grand Pacific hot IL
Monday When first notified of the
joint session, several clubs in the
Iowa organization raised objections,
as they feared it was a scheme on the
part of the Three-Eye to get them TO
give up some of their best cities. The
real purpose of the meeting was ex-
planned to them and two of the four
clubs which objected altered their po-
sition and the president of the asso-
citation notified all the clubs that the
joint session would be held. The pur-
pose of the meeting is for a discus
sion of their mutual welfare and 20
consider any changes in the two cir
