FORWARD PASS
 IS RETAINED BY COMMITTEE
Without it Under New ReStric- ti0ns Scoring Would be Very
 Difficult.

New York. May 1.-The intercoi- legiate football rules committee at a meeting here has decided to retain the forward pass unrestricted. The com- mittee framed a number of rules de- signed to throw safeguards around the operation of this and other plays, ana adjourned sine die. having completed the task of reforming" football which has kept it busy much of the time since the first of last February.
 The working out of the details or the new games was left in the hands of subcommittee composed of Wal ter Camp of Yale, Dr. Carl Williams of the University of Pennsylvania, and Percy D. Haughton of Harvard. but as the new regulations are largely theoretical. it is admitted that the pre- else results will not be known until the football season of 1910 is under way Members of the committee hope. however. that they have suc- ceeded in devising a plan whereby. specta cular features. yet will be more safe than it has been in the past.
 It was felt that, having weakened the offense by the new rules previous ly adopted, some method had to be invented to strengthen the offense as an offset. For this reason great effort was made to draft rules for retaining the forward pass. Without it under new restrictions scoring would be so difficult that the game would be all most destroyed.
 At former sessions the committee adopted six rules. They are that the offense must keep seven men on the fine of scrimmage; prohibition of the diving tackle; permitting quarterback runs to be made through any part of the line: that an onside kick must go % wards to be OnSide: prohibiting pushing or pulling of players or inter- locked interference and dividing the game into four quarters of 15 minutes each.

FARMER BURNS IS REAL BOSS
 IN JEFF'S CAMP
Trouble Expected in Training Quarters When Former Cham
 ion Jim COrbett Arrives
CBy Max Balthasar.)

San Francisco, May 14.-Friends of James Jeffries are speculating today as to who will be the boss in. the big fellows training camp at Rowarden- nan when Jim COrbett arrives
 heretofore the coming of the for mer champion has been viewed as an unmitigated blessing. but those who have seen the recent cropping out of jealousies among Jeffries' ham dlers now fear that his arrival win add to the strife and prove a histori- cal complication of the adage that too many cooks spoil the broth"
 Corbett is expected at Rowardennan the latter part of the month. Although he hasn't said so officially, he has in timated to his friends that he expects to assume charge. If he attempts this there is bound to be trouble with seven capital letters in the spelling. Sam Berger is supposed to be Jeff's manager.
 The truth is however that Farmer" Burns is the only one in Jeffries' camp that has anything to say re- garding the conditiong of Jeff When Joe Choynski unpacked his trunk at Rowardennan he boldly announced that he was going to run things but up to date he has only done so in been raised as to whether Jeff should or should not do certain things, Ber- ger has had the final say.
 Tex Rfckard is still arguing over the selection of a referee, fearing that the deadlock between Berger and Johnson will not be broken. Johnson and his manager.

 The real purpose of his visit, how ever, is believed to be to hold a con- ference with the promoters regarding the referee. Asked as to Jeff's condf- tion Berger said today:
 We are ready for the fight at any time Jim has rounded into shape a whole lot faster than we expected and if the fight were scheduled for June 4 there wouldn't be a bit of tln- easiness in Jeffries' camp

Many Cases Of Illness Said to Have
Been Traced to Negligence.

According to a physician, many a
case Of illness, serious and otherwise,
may be traced to the use of fruit that
has not been properly cleansed." D."
More than the usual care, he de-
clares, should be taken in washing
fruit that is TO be eaten uncooked At
its best. when handled by careful
dealers, who keep IL covered from the
dust Of their shops and the street, il
still has been subjected to dust in
transportation and to all manner OF
extraneous matter in picking and
handling.
Indeed no fruit bought in the city
markets should ever be eaten with
out first being washed.
However, persons who 60 through
life using all manner of measures tc
avoid microbes seem TO fare no bet
ter than the rest of us. But the
ordinary cleansing Of the fruit that
comes to the table is in line with
common cleanliness.
An oversight of the maid who does
the work would save many a family
from actual disease.
The colander or salad basket is the
best utensil for washing fruit II
can be held under the running water
with the free hand breaking the force
of the stream and sending it in show
ers over the fruit. If done properly
the most delicate fruit is not injured
by the process. But the washing
should be done before the fruit is
broken by any process Of prepare.

ENCLAND'S QUEEN
PARTIAL TO FURS
King Georges COnSOrt Pos
SeSSeS One Of the Most
Wonderful Collections.

Queen Mary, of England. as every
one knows, has a great affection in
common with not few more of His
Majesty's subjects, for furs. Simple
as she is in her tastes in the matter
Of dress, nice furs are a sort of hobby.
so much so that she possesses one
of the most wonderful collection Of
furs in the world.
Included in her collection, accord
ing to NJ. A. P, is a magnificent set
of Russian sables which was present
ed to her few years ago upon the
occasion OF her birthday by the Car
and Czarina. She is often chaffed
by members of her family regarding
her preference for furs and fur-trim-
med garments, and a short time ago,
His Majesty, the present King, was
asked what he thought she would
wear upon the occasion of a yachting
trip in the Solent.
Well, ] am not quite sure" he re-
piled with numerous twinkle in his
eye, but I rather imagine il will be
something with fur on it,"
But, strangely enough, despite this
partiality for fur. Her Majesty does
not care for ermine. and some time
ago she suggested that the robes of
peers and peeresses would look ia
more imposing if they were trimmed
with dark fur
The automobiling coat that the
Queen usually wears is a marvellous
specimen Of the furrier's art and is
made up of some thousands of tails
all so perfectly matched and Joined
that it looks like one large piece oi
fur. even when subjected to the
/ closest scrutiny.
