Special From a STAFF Correspondent.

Special From staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, October 26.-It is learned
today by The Stars correspondent that
Col. Roosevelt has made an appeal to his
literary friends and hackers in the news
paper and magazine press to come to his
assistance at this critical stage Of the
campaign and defend him against the
charge Of being a boss boss' and OF
having imperial ambitions for the future.
1t is evident to everybody that the re-
peated hammering of the democratic
press. and, more than that, the state
ments by republicans Of prominence, are
having effect upon the voters of this
state, and it would seem that the colonel
himself has become alarmed.
l am told that the colonel made an i'm
passioned request of his literary friends
to clear him of the charges being hurled
against him, and to go directly to their
readers with a demand not only for the
square deal for him, but to go further
and assert upon their own responsibility
that the colonel is being unjustly treated
This was not to be done through the
pages of the public prints, because the
time is too short. but by letter or leafiet
addressed promptly to the readers.

Foot ball in the high schools is again

this season there has been at least one
player severely hurt.

In the Eastern-Central game William
McCaffery of Eastern had two fingers
broken.
Playing on Probation.
Foot ball is at present played On pro-
baton by the high school teams. So
long as it seems to be free from danger
it will be allowed. When the school
officials become convinced it is still dan
gerous. even under the revised rules for
this fall, it will be stopped.
THE revised game is supposed to be
free from danger. If 1T proves to be Still
dangerous it will have to be stopped
said Superintendent of Schools Stuart to-
day.
In the three games already played a
large number of minor injuries have been
sustained. Three players in yesterday s
game had to be carried from the field.
Hurts Do Not Count.
Emory Wilson. principal of Central
High School. said today that none Of the
injuries to the boys can be regarded as
serious. The revision of the rules, he
indicates. is supposed to prevent injuries
to the spine and the neck and other in
turies which might prove fatal.
II don't know of any game" said Mr..
Wilson, 'in which the players are not apt
to receive such injuries
None Of the principals Of the high
schools has voiced any opposition to the
game. Indeed. it was on a combined ac-
ton of the principals that the board Of
education gave permission to play foot
ball this year as long as 1t does not prove
dangerous.
The accidents that have already oc-
cured on the high school foot ball fields
will have the effect of making the school
officials very watchful of the next games.

dents this afternoon, said:
ITO say the least, If accidents occur in
foot ball the game cannot receive the
hearty approval of the board of educa-
tion. We had hoped that the new rules
would stop the accidents. We shall keep

there are not too many incidents Of this

immediate presentation of cases against

| Court by Corporation Counsel Thomas.
He was told by Commissioner Rudolph
today that nobody must go to sleep in this
trading stamp matter. especially since the
Supreme Court OF the United States has
denied the trading stamp companies re-
quest for review Of the case
Already. however. Corporation Counsel
Thomas was getting his ammunition in

Society from issuing any more trading

Gift Enterprise Law.
Mr. Thomas holds that the trading
stamps given to purchasers of meat gro
ceries and scores of other things. sold
in competition by hundreds of merchants
who have adopted the trading stamp as
an advertisement, is a violation of the
short gift enterprise law.
What the legal talent of the District
viii do now Is to present the various
papers in the case to Police Court and
ask that sentence be passed.
MI Thomas received this morning
copies of the denials of the requests. is
sued by the Clerk of the Supreme Court
of the United States. He will present
these to the Court of Appeals and ask
Tor certified copies of the mandate which
reversed the action of Judge Mullowny,
who quashed the Information against the
companies.
When the copies of the mandate are OBJ
tanned 1t is believed that all that will
be necessary to do will be to show them
to the court and ask for sentence.
Merchants Urge Haste.
The matter was further agitated at the
District building this morning by the
visit Of several business men anxious
that the trading stamp be abolished in the
District. These are A. Lisner, Isaac
Cans. T. H. Dulin. Simon Kann. Joseph
Strasburger and w. W. Everett of the
firm of Woodward & Lothrop
They appeared before Commissioners
Rudolph and Judson, calling attention
to the fact that the highest courtsin the
land had refused to review the trading
stamp cases, which the corporation coun-
sci has distinctly held are in violation
of the short gift enterprise law. By
the Supreme Courts denial to review the
cases the managers of the Sperry and
Hutchinson Company and the Economy
Cooperative Society. in this city, will
have to fight their case in Police Court,
where the whole trouble started.
AS soon as the merchants had pre-
sented their request Commissioner Ru-
dolph dictated a snort note to Mr..
Thomas, informing the corporation coun-
sci of the Commissioners wishes that the
trading stamp proposition be kept from
going to sleep for a single second, and
requesting that prompt action be taken.
