Senator Carter Causes SenSa- ton By Showing Up Methods EmpIoyed-Effort To Work the Press Is Exposed.

CHICAGO. Jan. 1.--Efforts to block the postal savings bank bills in Con gress have received q decided jolt. it appears. by the recent exposure by Senator Carter of the activities, for the American Bankers Association, ot Lucius Teter of Chicago, who is chair man of it's Savings Bank section. Considerable chagrin is expresseL
 vately by Chicago bankers at the dis closures if not at the activities of Mir. Teter in trying to prevent the actual enactment of laws to create postal savings banks. Senator Carter read to the Senate copy of a CIT cular letter sent out to bankers call ing upon them to help, one and all 10 defeat the bill recommended by President Roosevelt in a message to the Sixtieth Congress and endorsed at the presidential election by botn parties. The circular was accom- panied by printed arguments against postal savings banks waich the bank CTS were instructed to get into theil local papers as editorial matter. This circular" the senator said, exhibiting the printed slips, has the following cautionary notice: Please remove this slip before handing ts newspaper. The purpose of this eau tionary notice was to have the loca banker slip up on the bling side O the raper and relieve the commi te' of the Bankers Association from re sponsibility for loose statements used"
 Chicago has been for years a hot bed of agitation for postal banks ana ! the arguments advanced by presiden Roosevelt have been endorsed by cit, councils. labor organizations and huA mess mel throughout fIc United States.

FOOTBALL RULES
MAY Be CHANGED

PHILADELPHIA, March 27.-When
the intercollegiate rules committee
meets In the Murray Hill hotel in New
York Friday several changes will be
advocated. AS the rules read at pres
ent no forward pass is legal which
passes the line of scrimmage within
Ave yards of the point from which the
ball started. There Is strong con-
tingent. headed by Lieut.. Horatio b.
Hackett, West Points representative,
In favor of abolishing the restriction.
Lieut.. Hackett says: The removal
of the five-yard restriction would be
the greatest move that could be made
toward the development OF the open
game. There Is really no valid ground
for this rule and 1t greatly restricts
the possibilities OF the play and at
the same time befuddles the officials
by making a fine distinction necessary
where one Ia not needed. | am in
favor OF removing the five-yard pen
atty, but do not desire to see the rule
changed so as to make linemen eligi-
BILE to receive the ball"
Lieut.. Hackett also favors the reduc-
ton Of the points counted for field
goal and distinction made between
goals kicked from placement and drop
kicks. The latter he considers the
three points instead of four. while the
former he would reduce to two. This
would make two drop-kick goals equal
to one touchdown and goal, but better
than one touchdown without the goal.

O'Brien's jab and get away had Won

from Jack and In the fifth he began to

When O'Brien came up for the sixth
he was much slower.

was dealt at close quarters.
