In order that there would be no

Oil company. the Standard and the
attorneys for the former company.
The motion filed yesterday recites

asks that necessary orders--be made

British Steamer Lusano Arrives in
Galveston With Sailors Saved.

Galveston, Texas, August 81
More dead than aive. Capt. e. w.
Waldeme and six members of the
crew of the American schooner Isaac
r. Campbell, bound from Port of
Spain, Trinidad for Galveston with
cargo of asphalt, were picked up
in the Gulf of Mexico last Friday by
the British steamer Lugano after
their vessel had been wrecked by a
hurricane and two sailors had been
washed aboard and lost.
The Lugano reached Galveston
yesterday morning and is now in
quarantine because of the fact she
came in contact with a crew from an
infected port.
The British liner was bound from
Cuba for this port, and While about
400 miles out sighted the ship
wrecked schooner and Immediately
changed her course and rendered
assistance.
The Campbell had lost her spars
and the seas, rolling high, were
breaking over the craft, which was
laboring heavily, and the crew wa.
lashed to the rails and steering gear
and were fighting desperately TO
keep from being washed overheard.
Finally when a line could be
thrown to the Lugano the captain
and the six remaining men were
with great difficulty transferred to
the British vessel.

IS zone lying Denlnd the Scrim-
mage line in which space an end
might stand, and by assuming this
position berot eligible in any event
70 receive a forward pass. This posi-
ton is more than one foot back of
the end of the scrimmage line and
mot full yard back. No man occu-
.pying this position is eligible to re-
c5ive forward pass, the object of
this rule being to make a man stand
either up to the scrimmage line or
a full yard back. where the official
can readily see that he is not on
the line.
Another. and possibly still more
important change is the provision
that a side having a kickout may
have the option of taking the kick,
as under the present rules, or hav-
| ing the ball down for scrimmage
| on their twenty-five yard line This
jchange will permit a team that has
! been forced TO make a touch-back to
| have some chance to get ont of their
difficulties even il the wind Is
against them. Formerly they wee
| forced to kick the ball out while the
! opponents stood waiting for it ana
ready TO make 4 fair catch, OF tail-
! ing in that still to have gJod
chance at drop kick. The defensive
side were forbidden to kick out Of
bounds, and hence their helpless
ness
1t has always been a good point
for a team having a strong kicker
TO kick the ball across the goal line
on the kickoff, because then the
jopponents lost their opportunity for
a running game, being obliged tc
kick out. and hence the side having
kicked off had also the first chance
|, to show their running game This
/ provision is really therefore equiv
alent to conceding the side which
received the kick-out what is
equivalent to catching the ball and
running ii out, with safe conduct
until they reach their twenty-five,
yard line. If they merely touch the
ball back this touch-back gives them
this privilege.
AS there have been some discus
sions from time to time as to play
ers taking up the game for the first
time and not knowing what the
names of the positions mean, the
rule book this year will have a def
milton of the positions and desig
nation of the players as ordinarily
grouped
In several games last year the
referee blew his whistle to indicate
q foul sometimes inadvertently, anC
as the referees whistle made the
ball dead it was impossible for the
offended side to take advantage o.
whatever run they made by refusint
the penalty. For this reason th'
rules this year call particular atten
tion to the fact that the refere'
should never, under any circumstan
ces, blow his whistle to indicate
foul. However. if he should mad
vertently do so, the ball is still dea'
and play must stop.

Whether as the result of widespread criticism, or indifference to the pleas for forgiving mercy, or because of the pressure of Senatorial duties during the last days of the Congressional ses- sion, Senator Brandegee has decided not to appear before the Judiciary committee in favor of the "old' and against the young candidates for Bridgeport City Court judgeships. It may be that he considers his telegram practically commanding the withhold ing of the committees decision until his exact pleasure could be made known, a sufficient indication of. his position and, thus, binding upon the committee. With this possible excep- tion, the Senator's decision not to per- sonally appear, leaves Sheriff Hawley, despite his Macedonian cry for help" in the lurch. It is ingratitude person ided for the Senator to disregard the appeal of one who, in Brandegees be- half, antagonized his home county and thus imperilled his political future.

A COMPREHENSIVE DECISION

' With the question of police salary 1n-
 crease settled definitely and finally, in i terest centres in the applicability of the Supreme courts decision to other issues which may be pending or may arise in the future. The part of the decision which may be thus applied, is as follows:
 The purpose of placing the power of apportionment and taxation in the hands of a special board was to pro- tect the taxpayers from unusual and unnecessary expenditures, not to crip- pie the different departments by de- priving them of the means of paying the ordinary salaries and running ex- penses of their departments.
 It appears from this that the power of virtual veto, which is held by the board of Apportionment, is limited to unusual and unnecessary expendi- tures,'' the only doubtful point being whether or not this board shall be the only and final judge as to what may be considered Unusual and unneces- >aary' in proposed expenditures. With usual and necessary expenditures payment of salaries and wages and the running expenses of the several de- partments-the board cannot interfere.
 Under this decision, the board may, in the due exercise of it's judgment, de- clare the projects of a new High School building, of 8 new sewer system, of wholesale paving, etc., unusual and unnecessary and refuse to make ap- propriations for them. Neither of these projects comes under ''the ordinary salaries and running expenses of de- partments.
 The decision comes at time when the relative powers of the boards of Aldermen and Apportionment are un- der discussion, and it throws a strong light upon them. Under it, each has it's legitimate function and neither can interfere with the others duty.
 Unfortunately it does not settle the question whether the Aldermen can estop the Apportionment board from making an annual appropriation for water under the twenty year contract, unless the latter board should decide, as it seemingly may, that under the Nathaniel Greene charter, the appro- priation is unnecessary"
 It is an interesting and instructive decision which may be found to reach other matters than that of police-sal- ary increase.

The decision of the War department against any rehearing upon the har- Dor line question, without the consent of the railroad, simply increases the advisability of compromise between the two lines-not bogus compromise like the one recently killed by Mayor tal veto, but one which would give the road all that it really needs for coal pocket facilities and yet retain for the harbor all that is actually needed for anchorage purposes. Such a reasonable road and, if not accepted, there would be abundant justification for "a fight to a finish," at whatever cost.

Quite number of new hat-manufac- rated since the beginning of the hat ters' strike, or rather perhaps the lock out, their evident purpose being to run union shops, with the union label, and their equally evident expectation be- ing to secure the trade practically abandoned by the Hat Makers asso- citation in it's fight for the "open shop.'' 1t was apparently a desire to prevent such absorption of it's business, which prompted a Boston company to aban- don the "open-shop'' fight. There would be little surprise if other com panies should soon sense the true in- wardness" of the Boston break in the line, and adopt a similar course.

According to former Prohibition candidate for President. MT. John G.. WooIey of Ohio, the time for dissolu- kion of the Prohibition party has ar rived, and he has withdrawn from it. His argument is that, having elevated prohibition to the dignity of national issue, the party has lost it's reason for continued existence. It is evidently his belief that the Republican party will now adopt the issue, and this be- lief may be founded upon MT. Taft's policy of splitting the "solid South,
