But the rules committee unquestionably
has made a signal advance toward

When asked as TO what he regarded
as the most salient feature OF the
changes. Mr.. Reiter answered: TO my
mind. this IS the removal Of the restric-
ton on the forward pass. Formerly the
ball had to be passed across the line OF
scrimmaee five yards out from the cen
ter. Now, while the player Who receives
the ball from the Snapper-back must be
five wards back from the scrimTsla &c
line he IS not required TO move TO right

for strategic play
Another important change IS that the

May Arrange Bail Tomorrow.

Joseph B. Knots registered at the ST.
James last night. He will see Attorney
Darlington and the prisoners some time
today. Effort will be made to arrange
bail for them tomorrow.
One of the United States senators from
South Carolina, it is probable, will appear
with Attorney Darlington in the case and
discuss the question of giving bail for
the brothers. Attorneys will probably
ask the court tomorrow to reduce the
bond. claiming that $1,000 IS too great
an amount.
There will be no question about the
young men appearing to answer any
charge that may be presented against
them,' said Attorney Darlington last
night. They belong to one of the most
highly respected families in the state
and have never before been arrested to
answer any charge whatever"
Mr.. Darlington went on to tell about
how James Knots left home to attend
the Bliss Electrical School, and of how
he had become interested with Armstrong
in a patent light after they left the
school.
James Knots. he said. had sent home
for money so frequently that Benjamin
Knots concluded he would come here
and see what he was doing. Benjamin
had his cotton crop picked and sold it
for something like $500. and then came
here.
