ESTRADA TALKS OF
 HIS FUTURE PLANS

Bluefelds. Nicaragua March S.-General might as we'll go to ruin fighting to the last drop of blood as submit to the rule of Madrx whom he brands as second zelaya. Without American intervention that Is what is likely to happen. for even the Americans who have suffered greatly under the Zelaya rule--he says. the coun- try will go down with their flags nailed to the mast.
 They would like, above all things. pro- tectorate but hope merely for interven- tion, which they believe Is theirs by right. It Is believed the revolution would never have been started had 1t not been for assurances of American support. The provisional leaders at Bluefields then went ahead and aided in the routing of Zeaya. thus in a wise averaging the killing of Groce and Cannon, said General Estrada.
 The battle of Recseo was fought and won, but to the surprise of everyone here General Estrada said the interest of the United States government fin the matter seemed to cease. Vague intimations came from Washington that Managua must be tahcH peEcre the pTOVlSlOndl government could be recognized and indorsed.
 That movement. said the general has resulted in failure. The dethronment of Zelaya has been accomplished, but the people who were actually responsible for this are facing a gloomy destiny.
 Continuing, he said:
 Natives of Honduras and Salvador res- ident here who are in constant communi- cation with these countries. assert that k4-.- the conclusion of the troubles in Me arngue. Arms from this place will be sent for use in the new revolutions
 General Estrada had long conference today with Secretary of State Diaz and Governor Rivera.

STAGG STARTS TO
 TRY OUT NEW RULES

Fayetteville. Ark, March 3.-Coach stagg of the University of Chicago start
 ed to work today with the University of
 Arkansas football squad. Stagg today instructed the men on the plays he in
 tended to use. A short scrimmage for
 the purpose of acquantng the men with the plays finished the days work.
 Stagg announces that the suggestions ,, are to be considered as follows:
 ITO keep seven men on the line of
 scrimmase, allowing shifting of men on line and in back field in any formation: to allow the first man receiving the ball from center to run with 1t; to cut out all pushing and putting of man carrying the
 ball over! to allow the forward pass over any part of the line of scrimrnage; no
 man be allowed to make tackle without keeping one foot on the ground, eliminat- ing dangerous flying tackle; ends, when going down on punt not to be body checked. prohibiting opponent from throwing whole body against runner or striking him with shoulder; game to be divided into quarters of IS minutes each with five minutes intcrmission, and ten minutes intermission between halves; to
 prevent players from reaching stage of complete exhaustion. a great number of fatalities being attributed to keeping of
 men in ths game when exhausted; ball
 to always be in play when forward pass is made. to be free ball when touched by any one while in the air, and if 1t touches the ground before being touched by any
 player 1t is free ball after being touched
 by defending side"
 This will take away all penalty on fail ure to execute forward pass and tend to make the game more open, says tho coach, The forward pass, he says, Is be- ing paid particular attention.

TAFT DENIES ALL
 RESPONSIBILITY Says He Did Not Choose Wade Ellis to Go to Ohio SELECTED BY OHIOANS President Explains That Ellis Was Wanted By Republicans of ohio And That There Was Noth-
 ing Else to Do
SELECTED BY oHIoANs

Cleveland, O., March 3-In a letter to H. D. Davis. United States marshal here, President Taft denies any responsibility for the recent election of former Assist ant to the Attorney General Wade Ellis as chairman of the Ohio republican ex- eeutive committee.
 The Presidents letter was in response to one from Dr. Davis dated February 26, in which the latter referred to crit icisms of MT. Taft for interference in Ohio politics by suggesting the selection of MT. Ellis as chairman of the repub- lican executive committee of Ohio.
 ''I am glad to have the opportunity of assuring you that I am not in the slight est degree responsible for the selection of Wade H. Ellis as chairman of the re- publican executive committee of Ohio, . says the President.
 ''The national committeeman. MT. Yorys and the head of the central com mittee, MT. Brown and Mir Williams, who was chairman of the executive com mittee came to Washington and after what I assumed was canvass of the state notified me that for the general good of the party should release MT. Wade H. Ellis from his position in the department of justice (where he has been doing excellent worl) and allow him to leave the government service in order to succeed MT. Williams as head of the ex- ecutive committed
 Most reluctantly did I do this, and did it also with the express under standing that I did not desire to inter fere with local politics in Ohio; that I had no choice for governor; and that though MT Ellis might succeed to the chairmanship he would not while there represent me or act lnder my sugges- tions.
 What am most anxious about is that the republicans of Ohio shall have full and free expression with respect to the platform that they shall adopt and also as to the candidates to be selected
 "I do not think that there is now in the state any influence of any organized character that would seek to prevent such a full and free expression of the repub- licans. Certainly l shall not have the power nor the inclination myself to exert any influence of this kind.

Citronelle, March 3-Joseph Stokes Charles Goldn an and David Gortinap farmers, late this afternoon were shot and killed by A. Laurence Odom, cattle man, at the latter's home, four miles from this place The terrible affair ere ated great excitement.
 After the shooting Odom surrendered to deputy sheriff at Citronelle, who fearing mob violence, telephoned Sherin Drago at Mobile for assistance.
 Three deputies were sent to Citronells on the first train. arriving here at 1t o'clock. At Il o'clock all is quiet and the officers and their prisoner are waiting for train to leave for Mobile.
 A coronial inquest is now being held Odom says the killing was the result of an old feud. He says all parties were armed.
 The story as tod by Odom is as fol- lows:
 s''The shooting was the result of an old feud Goldman, Gortman and Stokes came to my place, northeast of Citron- nelle, about sundown tonight. Charles Goldman called out and asked me to come out, saying We intend to do you tonight
 "I would not come out and the men out side set fire to the grass. I saw l was in danger of heinz burned out and killed I came out and was compelled to shoot Goldman. 1 met Gortman ard Stokes later in the road. They moved toward me and I was compelled to shoot them.
 Odom was armed with a doublebarrel shotgun and saye that all the men he killed were armed. One, Goldman, had a shotgun.
 Odom killed a man at Citronnelle eight or ten years ago, cutting his victim $ throat.
 Shortly after their arrival here the three Mobile deputies started in trap with Odom on the return journey to Mobile. where the prisoner will be lodged in the county jail. There being no southbound train expected before day light it was decided to drive to this city,
