Must Tinker Yet With Rules.

New York, April 20.-More tinker
ing with the football rules Is neces-
sary before 1t will be possible to save
the present forward pass across the
line of scrimmage and still provide
an adequate and proper secondary
defense for the defensive tackles.
This Is the opinion Of Henry NJ.

ward passes to shorter distances.
The new tackling rule which for
bids diving tackles, is failure, and
will result in bigger cripple list

periods has also resulted unhappily

:FIyinu Machines.

FLYING machines of today are OF two
types-dirigible balloons and aero
planes-both of them yet in the en-
bryo stage. In the matter Of dirigibies
Germany Is an easy first. France Is
second and the rest Of the world is
nowhere beyond possibilities of what
Italy may produce. In heavier than
air machines France is the unchalleng-
ed first. America, with equal ease, oc-
cupies the second place. Germany-on
account Of single successful type
may perhaps call herself third for the
moment, but all other nations except
the first two at present constitute the
field" The test Of flying machine Is
the extent to which it is copied by
others than its producer. To date, no
one has for a moment dreamed of
copying any aeroplane that England
has produced, though there are many
copies of leading French types.-Argo-

Tried It on Miss Schneider.

Miss Josefa Schneider, Turkish
subject, resident in Constantinople,
has brought suit for damages against
the state which throws vivid light on
conditions in Turkey under Abdul Ha-
mid H. According to the Paris Eclair
one Of Abduls daughters fell seriously
Ill in the days when he was still padi-
shah and the court physicians recon-
mended an operation for appendicitis.
Abdul refused to give his consent un-
til the operation had been performed
on some one else, to prove that it was
not dangerous to life. Miss Schneider,
who had recently spent some time in a
COnstantinople hospital, was handy. so
she was forcibly taken from her house
and deprived of her appendix. Abdul
Hamid was convinced, his daughter
was cured. and now Miss Schneider's
suit is part Of his successors troubles.

and vet the shock of disillusion had
left her with a sense Of antagonism
toward all men. From her experience
all men were knaves.
One glorious September morning
Althea was busy filling all the old
blue bowls in the house with gorgeous
asterS from the garden. A shadow
passed the dining room window, and
there came a sharp knock at the side
door.
Althea paused in her task, listening
for a repetition of the summons, her
quiet mind revolving the possibility of
its being the grocer or the milkman,
but as these purveyorS to her solitude
came and went from the kitchen en-
trance Althea decided upon a book
agent as the most likely visitant and
moved toward the door just as the
knock was repeated sharply staccato.
Behind the wire screened door stood
a man of middle age, CARRIED in light
gray clothes that matched his thick
hair. Althea noted the thin, intellectu-
al face with its eager, boyish glance
of brown eyes, the straight nose, the
pleasant mouth, firmly nodded chin
and fine, well kept hand that held his
soft gray hat.

'Mr. Deems assured me,' began the

his face underwent a slight change.

ciatiOnl
The great square house sat deSolate-
~ back in the midst Of the neglected
grounds and spoke eloquently Of the
decay that had fallen upon the Wayne
fortunes.
Within the house Miss Althea moved
silently, a lonely figure, the last Of the
Waynes. Her meager income Sufticed
to pay the taxes on the house and to
furnish her with modest clothing and
plain food. Gossip said the cellars of
the Wayne house were still stocked
with toothsome pickles and preserves
that were a legacy from the better
days Of the family. The wine bins in
the coolest corner showed racks Of
dusty, cObwebbed bottles, any one Of
which would have brought its price
for rarity and age had Althea desired
to dispose Of her heritage.
The visitors who occasionally came
to the Wayne house and left their cards
in the silver dish OH the hall table saw
merely the small, stiff1y furnished re
ception room with its white and gold
furniture and one or two good water
colors.
Athea alone knew the rest Of the
house. She cared for no one in Little
River and 50 it came to pass that no
one cared for her.
The walls Of the smaller drawing
rooms. the dining room, the inner halls
and the upper corridors and her own
bedchamler were lined with mirrors
of every description They had been
brought from every part Of the house,
and many dollars Of her income had
gone to add new ones to the crowded
walls.
1t was Althea's fancy to feel that she
was not alone. Wherever she moved
among these rooms there We're Il dozen
or so repeated reflections Of her tall,
slim form, with its crown of faded
hair and her dark blue. WiStful eyes.
There was the sensation of being in
crowded room when she went to and
fro, and she liked to see the figures
passing before her. 1t was strange
fancy and morbid one, but it was
Althea'S secret.
When the Wayne fortunes had fallen
with crash Althea's declared lover
had quietly given her back her free
dom and disappeared. She was glad
of this-to know him as he really was

Is the tension OF fearing that some

break, that controlling wire may
snap. Any one Of these things may,
one knows quite we'll, bring about a
fearful fall. The rush of air and the

It was late i'm leaving my home and

who were in his party yesterday. that
the agents reports were very favor
able.
Baron Mitsui is, without doubt,
the best known figure in the oriental
commercial world. In point of wealth
he has been likened to ]. Pierpont
Morgan, and many of his operations
are along the same lines as Morgan's S.
He is. however. far more versatile in
his dealings than most great financial
figures, for he is not only a banker of
the first magnitude, but is the John
D." of Japan in that he controls the
petroleum output of the country. He
is also heavily interested in railroads
and ships, owning most of the mileage
on the Japanese islands and having
absolutely under his control the coasS-
wise shipping industry and the ship
ping between Japan, China and the
other mainland countries bordering
on the China sea.
HIS APPEARANCE is STRIKING
In appearance the Japanese financier
is small of stature, like most of his
countrymen, with pleasant black eyes,
which are the first thing about his
person to hold the attention of an OBJ
server as they resemble the Caucasian
eve in shape, rather than the oriental.
Baron Mitsui dresses in the height
of fashion and speaks English fluently.
He is accompanied by the Baroness
Mitsui and his daughter, both of whom
created a mild sensation yesterday in
the lobby of the Alexandria when they
arrived Baroness Mitsui is, according
to the oriental idea, a very beautiful
woman, and the oriental idea seems
to be not far from right, as, when she
arrived yesterday, there were many
complimentary things said about her
good looks by those who happened to
be in the lobby at the time. Her
daughter, heiress to millions, also is
attractive.
The party has made a near-record
trip across the continent. It left New
York city October A. and has made
stops in Washington, Birmingham,
Ala; New Orleans, Houston, Fort
Worth, San Antonio Colorado Springs,
Denver, Grand canyon and Los An
geles. At each place enough time was
taken to allow the members of the
party to make a thorough inspection
of the business and residence sections.

in every city through which he passed
and insisting upon stopping at the
larger ones long enough to see them

Francisco in time to sail as scheduled
or not.
