can do this it is necessary to secure
the consent of the men themselves,
and this can only be done by refer

it will probably be four weeks before
the result is known. l cannot state

1t is evident. however, that a wage
movement that promises to be of more
than ordinary interest is pending. The
fremen's brotherhood has asked for an
increase in wages on 81 western lines
which, il has been rumored, provided
for raise of 221a per cent This, it
is understood. has been refused by the
railways, but they have agreed to ar
bitration. The vote on arbitration is
now before the f1remen, and should the
rank and file of the organization re-
fuse the arbitration plan, it is said that
there is nothing that could prevent
strike on the 81 lines affected.

CONFUSION DEEP ON
RULES OF FOOTBALL
Committee at New York Finds Itself
Lost in Maze of Conflicting
Ideas.

New York, Feb. 5.-A chaotic con-
dition confronted the football experts
in session here when they resumed
today the task of remodeling the rules
of the game to make it safer and
saner A whole days labor yesterday
apparently served to increase the con-
fusion, the multiplicity of ideas and
their diversity proving a stumbling
block in the way of immediate prog
ress. At the same time the labor yes
terday was found not to be wasted
and there was promise of light ahead
through the gradual process of elm
nation which went on through today's
session. The ;mpracticable and con-
flicting were thrown out and before
the days session is over IT was eX-
pected something like a rational and
logical program would be mapped out,
at least. tentatively.

SUICIDE WHEN CONVERTED
Comments Upon Introduce

Missionary Comments Upon Introduce
ton of Christianity Into Japan.
ST Louis, Mo. Feb. 5-The inuoduc-
ton of Christianity into Japan at first
caused many suicides, Rev. Dr. ]. L.
bearing, a missionary, told the dele
gates to the layman's missionary move
ment yesterday.
"The transfer of the seat of moral
authority from Confucius to the indi-
vidual conscience, as taught by Chris
tianity, was so sudden that many a
man has been killed by the shock. "
said DIR. bearing.
The moral unrest existing among
thinking men in Japan today is illus
trated by the fact that the Ashe Shin
bun, a newspaper, has a bureau of con-
sultation for those intending suicide,
and sometimes receives as many as so
letters a day from such persons, most
of whom are Students

SMEDLEY AT BLOOMINGTON
Local Y. VI. c. A. Secretary Says This
Is Fertile Field for Work.


Bloomington Paragraph: Ralph
c. Smedley of Rock Island is in the
city on a visit, called here on account
of the serious illness of his mother.
Mrs. T. B. Smedley of North Prairie
street. Mrs Smedley is suffering
from a complication of ailments due
to the infirmities of old age.
Mr. Smedley is now the general
secretary of the Y. N. c. A. at Rock
Island and is doing good work there.
He was formerly assistant secretary
of the Y. NJ. c.. A in Bloomington
and after leaving here went to Free
port, where he successfully conduct
ed the association for some time He
made good at that place and was then
called 10 Rock Island He says that
the latter place is a fertile field for
work of the Young Mems Christian
associations and he hopes to build up
the work there TO much beyond its
present scope. There is a population
of 100, 900 in the three cities of Rock
Island, Moline and Davenport, and
they are all thriving and enterpris-
ing places. The general class of the
population differs much from that of
central Illinois. as the interests of the
people are mainly manufacturing and
business connected with the river
Mr. Smedley still has a warm place
in his heart for Bloomington, and
his friends here always greet him
with cordially.
