TO REFORM The
FOOTBALL RULES

New York, Dec. 20.-Further reforms
in football playing rules will occupy
much of the attention of the educat.
ors and athletic authorities at the
fifth annual session of the Intercole.
giate Athletic association of the Unit
ed States. In addition to the transac.
ton OF business and the discussions,
many important papers relating to col.

addresses are on the program from
the Rev. Charles Aked, ID. d., of New
York, DR.. X. TAFT Mckenzie of the
University of Pennsylvania, and Prof.
w. l.. Dudley of Vanderbilt university,
Nashville, Tenn.
While 1t Is conceded that football
has been greatly reformed, the mem.
bers of the association are working for
a more perfect code of rules to govern
the game, and its adoption will be ex-
haustively taken up. Allegations that
the new rules were not thoroughly en-
forced this fall, and that the students
failed to live up to the letter of the
new code. will be thoroughly investi-
officers appreciate that the new rules
have reached crucial point, and urge
that the players abide by them, and
Insist that the governing bodies of col.
leges and universities prevent any fu-
ture evasion of the code. .r

In which will be fired today when the
hearing on the writ of habeas corpus

Rellstab, in the United States circuit
court at Trenton, ~ j., following the
decision of the state department at
Washington that Italy is entitled to
the extradition of the boy This an
nouncement was made by Secretary
Knox ten days ago, and since then
preparations have been going forward
to take advantage of every legal tech
nicality to prevent the judgment from
going into effect
Insanity is to be the main defense
of Charlton's attorneys, who allege
that the committing magistrate erred
in refusing testimony as to the &C.
cused mans mental status. 1t is clear
ly intimated In the statement of Sec.
rotary Knox that should higher court
decide that testimony as to Charlton's
sanity should be admitted, then the
state department will again take up
the case and consider it from this
viewpoint.
Leading attorneys OF New York and
Washington are of the opinion that
an insane man cannot be tried, and
hence cannot be legally surrendered
for trial. Thus the whole case may
come again before Secretary Knox.
Edwin Smith, of counsel for Charlton,
declares that the case will be carried
to the United States supreme court, if
necessary.
