injuries received when he was nearly
scaled to death in a hit-water we'll In

The injury to Mr.. Walker occurred Sep

as a laborer in the fireroom of the general
land office. On that date Walker was
ordered to assist in replacing an iron COW
ering, or cap, on hot well in the fire
room, which was used to receive waste

ed some GOO or TOO pounds. The govern
ment had no crane or other machinery
with which the cap could be handled,

the we'll by the men employed in the
engine rooms there.
The we'll was about four feet square.
When Walker came to the well to assist
in repla cling the cap he found lying across
it a plank three inches by twelve inches
by six feet, and he and another work
man went out on the plank to lower the
cover over the WELL
The plank broke and Walker was pre-
cipitated into the well. which was partial
ly filled with scalding water. Upon ex-
animation the plank. which was three
inches thick, was found to have been
sawed about half through. This defect
was not known ito Walker when he went
onto the plank. He fell in a sitting
position, and the entire lower part of his
body up to his hips was scalded. All
of the skin came from his limbs and he
manual labor that required him to stand
on his feet any considerable length of
time. He suffered great pain and was
confined in the hospital for many M nths.

CONGER QUITS SENATE
ACCUSER OF Aids RETIRES TO
FORESTALL EXPULSION.
Dramatic Scene at Albany When He
Presents Resignation and
Scores Colleagues.

ALBANY, N. Y. April 5.-Senator Benin
Conger's voluntary withdrawal from the
senate last night made it unnecessary for
the judiciary committee to act today on
the Cobb resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of a committee to draw ur
charges against ex-senator Aids accuser
as a result Of disclosures made during
the bribery investigation. Conger had
asked to be heard in his own behalf. and
the committee had fixed today for hearing
what he might have to say.
1t had been expected that Conger would
make known his intention to resign at to-
days hearing and his action last night
took many of his fellow-senators by sur
prise. There was a sigh Of relief when
they realized that the famous Allds-C Con-
ger scandal was at an end, for had
Conger determined to fight an attempt to
expel him the session would have been
prolonged and legislation further delayed.
Seat to Remain Vacant.
Unless an extraordinary session of the
legislature is called. Gov. Hughes cannot
call a special election in the forty-first
district, inasmuch as Conger delayed his
resignation until after April 1. and the

the senate during the remainder of the
session.
When Conger appeared in the senate
last night he took his seat without recog-
niztng any of his colleagues, and during
the reading of resolutions and reports ap-
peared to be interested. 1t was getting
toward the moment when President Pro
Tempore Cobb would announce adjourn
ment when Conger arose and In some
what piercing voice shouted:
MIR. President"
The senator from the forty-first," re-
piled President Cobb.
Instantly all eyes were turned on
Conger. With del.oeration he drew from
his pocket the prepared typewriter state
ment and began to read. A hush fell on
the chamber. A half dozen senators
and newspaper men crowded about behind
Conger The few spectators in the gal
lery bent forward. anxious not to miss
any word that fell calmly and incisively
from the lips Of Conger.
Spoke as a Man Unafraid.
AS he continued to read he appeared
to grow more self-possessed. and when he
reached that juncture in which he vigor-
ously scored those who were demanding
his retirement. he spoke like man fear
full Of nothing.
There was not an interruption. All eyes
were still trained on Conger and until his
trim little figure disappeared out the side
door business Of the senate was at a
standStill
| The resignation was not even read No
motion was made. Senators gathered in
little groups and conversed in undertones.

his voice at times quivering with emo
ton He spoke with much force and di-
rectness and did not mince his words,
while remaining within parliamentary
bounds.
What was accepted as an announcement
of his intention to retire from politics
was contained in the following words:

here ending my fourth session in this
legislature. I expect and know it will
be the termination of all of my political
career 1 am ready and willing now to
become a private citizen"

new RULES GIVE
ROOMFOR OPENPLAY

Time was in football, and within the
memory of those who have followed
the game for fifteen or twenty years
when open field interference was one
of the most attractive features. There
mas been nothing in the rules under
the changes they have undergone since
TO bar this sort of interference and it
mas not died out, but there has been
less of 1t and more of another sort.
With the growth of the line battering
plays the term interference came to
apply also to forming solidly around
the runner going into the line and
showing, hauling and preceding him.
This faN the rules prohibit inter-
locked interference, and there viii he
no more pulling and dragging the run
ner as he hits the line. A likely re-
suit will be less attacking through the
line and a consequent tendency to
throw the plays out wider, more into
the open, to make the gains. Individ-
ual runs in the open always are nos
stole, but they are more likely to be
attended with success when the inter-
ference is there to carry them along.
There is probability of the spread
out interference in which each inter.
ferer takes an opponent and blocks
him off, the interferer free from the
runner but close enough to protect
him from tacklers. That calls for
pretty work, skillful work, individual
keenness and team understanding.
Nothing is more stirring or attractive
than to see several protectors strung
out alongside the man with the bali
and blocking off opponents. And 70
sift through the interference calls for
agility and judgment by opponents.
The new rules encourage this sort of
work.

IDAHO SWIMMERS
BID FOR HONORS

New York, Sept. 16.-A sensational
feature of the outdoor swimming sea-
son OF 1910 is promised by the west
News comes from Idaho that a quartet
OF Watermen composed of two United
States rangers a sheep farmer and an
Indian, are soon to leave Boise for the
east In search of Aquatic laurels.
AND none but the highest honors will
satisfy them. Correspondence has been
exchanged by them with the strongest
clubs of the metropolitan district and
they expect to meet in relay races the
speedy team of the New York A. c.,
hc!ders of the national championship.
and any other aggregation willing to
try conclusions with them.
Strange to relate there is every
prospect of their lowering the colors OF
almost every quartet in the country at
the distance at which they ask to
compete, 400 yards.
Three of the four westerners have
held positions in the acuuatic field
which their present occupations give
no inkling of. Herbert Manley, their
leader, left brilliant career as a New
York A. G. sprinter when he became a
ranger, and Richard Frizelle was an
even more promising member of the
Illinois A. G. of Chicago; while Harry
e. LeMoyen was one of the best all
around athletics at Harvard and hold
err of the American record for swim
ming 100 yards before he took to
sheep raising in Idaho.
The fourth member of the team is a
Shoshone Indian of phenomenal speed,
discovered by Manley while patrolling
his territory. His name is Blue Her
ron and he has somehow acquired a
finished trudgeon stroke.

HIGHS TOMORROW
FIRST GRlDlRoN BATTLE OF THE
SEASON TO BE PULLED OFF IN

Football fans will have their first

umni come together tomorrow after

will be the fastest aggregation that
ever played under that title. Merritt

been added to their list, both mem
bers Of 1908 championship team. They
have material in abundance, and in
case one of their players become ex-
hausted another man will be ready to

that they can hold the graduates to
at least close score, as they feel
they will be in better shape for the
contest.
Tomorrow's game will give Coach
Kalmbach line on his men. A num-
Der of the candidates will be tried
out and those making the best show
ing are likely to sinch a position on
the team. The high school lineup will
