rho sixth change prcscribes that an
onside kick must advance the bail
twenty yards from tho line OF scrim-
mage. That Is, IL the ball strikes the
ground short Of twcnty yards the of
tense becomes offside. This rule Is
also aimed at mass plays. It is felt
that under a twcnty-ynrd requirement
tho secondary offense can come up
sufficiently to protect the tackles with
reasonable safety. # #
Having made these six changes to
throw safeguards around the game,
they took up a discussion OF tho two
plans OF directing the style OF play and
strengthening the offense; sufficiently
to balance the new opportunities for
defense. The first plan contains two
main features-u), Limitation of the
forward pass to territory behind the
line Of scrimmage; (2). Limitation OF
the width Of scrimnlage lines. These
two provisions of plan coherc In a
general design to make forward passes
and quarterback runs better ground
gamers by opening UP the play and
compensating for the weakness OF the
foffense In other ways.
Two schemes for defining the width
of the scrlmmagc lines were proposed.
One was an arbitrary limit OF five
yards on either side of the ball; the
other was Limitation OF the line of
defense toathe width OF the line OF the
5offense. Everything that tends to
thin out the line invites mass plays.
BY narrowing the line the committee
hopes both to strengthen It. and thus
to make end runs more profitable.
ii The main objection so far raised to
f, ale of 1}yv,iffrer ho =
pass and the width Of the line Is that
1T may result in too much scoring.
This will be determined by expert
ments. n VI
Ten Yards for Gains.
The second OF general style OF play
under consideration provides for ten
yards distance to be gained. The
forward pass, under this plan, would
be allowed beyond the line OF scrim-
mage, with the present requirement OF
running to either side, five yards from
tho centre. and with the additional
condition that on forward passes the
on the end Of the lines or by tho
backs AT present the tackles are al
lowed to receive the ball. In case OF
nn uncompleted forward pass the ball
is to be brought back to the point at
which the pass is made, and tho play
is to be counted as one down. This
loss of down is the only penalty at
tached. except that in case tho man.
who passes the hall had first carried
1t toward his own goal, the distance
he ran backwards would be lost to
his team. Such decrease In the penalty
attached to use OF the forward pass
would operate. the committee feels,
for greater use OF the play.
At the beginning Of the second and
fourth quarters teams are to change
goals. the ball being put in play at
the same relative position in which 1t
was at the beginning Of the preceding
quarter.

IMPORTANCE CAUSED COURT
TO EXTEND ARGUMENT
One Of Features of the Case ID the

Washington. Oct. -stubbornly

the state of Missouri and the railroads

States as to the validity of the two.

freight rate laws of that state passed
in 1907. So important did the court

constitution. The circuit court Of
the western district Of Missouri held
the laws were unremunerative and
enjoined their enforcement.
By coincidence this case, the
third to be argued before the supreme
court after Justice Hughes became
a member. was the one in which .
high compliment was paid to him as
governor Of New York. In the argu.
ment of the case in the United Staten
circuit court for the western district
of Missouri, attention was called to
the fact that Governor Hughes Of
New York had vetoed q similar law
in his state because tho legislature
had not given the matter sufficient
consideration. It was argued that
the same thing applied to the Alissou-
ri law.

N0BLEMEN GOING
INTO BUSINESS
The English Land Taxes Have
Forced Them to Increase
Their Incomes

London. Oct. 13.-That prosaic COM
mercialism is being infused into the
blood of the present members of the
British peerage Is evidenced by the
long list Of noble men and noble
ladies' engaged in active business en-
terprises. Time was when the Eng
lish lord was content to live on the
income derived from his vast domains,
but the enormous land taxes that the
owners of big estates have to pay un-
der the present form Of government
have made the members Of modern
nobility look to other sources to in
crease their incomes.
The Earl Of Pembroke Is notable
example. He represents one of the
most ancient titled families in the
country, but, instead of living on the
income derived from his land tenants.
he obtains most Of his fortune max
ing carpets. The Marquis Augsburg
and Lord Rayleis have milk stores all
over London. while Lord Londonder-
ry and Lord Wimborne have coal de-
pots everywhere. The earl Of Dud-
ley Is corn and coal merchant. Lord
Harrington was the first peer to open
q green grocery shop, and his first
store near Charing Cross is patroniz-
ed by many Of the leading hotels. Lord
Ranfurly, a descendant of William
Penn. the founder Of Pennsylvania
has also dealt in fruit both here and
in New Zealand. Lady Duff-Gordon
is the famous dressmaker Lucille, -
and the Countess Warwick has a shop
in Bond street for the sale of art nee-
dlework. Lord Sudeley deals in jam,
and his whole fruit" preserves are
sold in large quantities. Among the
peers who sell beer are Lord lveagh
and Lord Ardilaum. Another jam
maker is Viscountess Molesworth.
Lady Aukland keeps furniture shop
in Baker street. The countess of Es-
sex is still interested in a laundry
which she started with Mrs. Hwfa
Williams, and Lady Montgomery keeps
millinery establishment in Mayfair.
The earl of Hardwicke sells cigars,
and the marchioness of Ripon sells

THE. TORIES ARE
AFTER BAtFOUR
Ex-Premier's Opening Speech
Was a Disappointment
Was Too Mild

London, Oct. 13-Former Premier
Balfour fired the first big gun in the
political campaign on Wednesday in
Edinburgh. There are many among
his supporters who are dissatisfied
with his shooting.
Insurgency is not confined to the
United States, and about 100 members
of the British tory party show symD-
toms Of desire to cast OF from the
leader of the opposition. The insurg-
ent hundred are clamoring for fight
ing program. They wanted Mr.. Bal
four to pour redhot shot into the lib
eral ranks in the shape Of an UNDER
taking to repeal the land taxes when
the conservatives came into power
and an explicit declaration in favor
of tariff reform.
Mr.. Balfour failed to satisfy them
in either particular. Even his treat
ment of the question of the payment
of members of parliament is consid-
cred disappointing by those of his
followers who wanted a lead. The
unionists are hoplessly split over this
matter.
Strong Plea for Salaries.
A. E. Smith. who spent part of the
vacation as a fellow-guest Of Winston
Churchill on board Baron de Forests
yacht and who is looked upon as one
of the young hopefuls Of the conserv-
ative party, has made strong plea in
favor Of the payment of members Of
parliament, and has enlisted good
many supporters under his banner.
including some of the leading tory
papers. The preponderance of union-
list option, however. is still opposed to
the payment of members.
Mr.. Balfour, whose philosophic and
logical temperament forced him to ac-
knowledge that both good and bad
could be said on both sides of tho
question, offered only q mild opposi-
tion to the proposal for payment. His
chief objection is "the danger Of cor
ruption to parliamentary character" t"
A tory paper responds to this argu-
ment by saying that the house Of COM
mons in the most heroic age of its
history was a salaried institution, and
that the moral fiber of Pym and
Hampden does not appear to have
been corrupted by the circumstance
that they were entitled to their wag-
ca.
Fails to Follow Counsels.
But perhaps the most pertinent
comment on Mr.. Balfour's reluctance
to follow the counsels proffered by
the fighting section of his followers
Is that 1t arises from his unwilling
ness Ito plunge deeper into the mo-
rass at the bidding Of the tariff RS
form newspapers" It adds:
.Ks yielded to them In 1906. when
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1910-10-13

ne consented to make their proposals
the first constructive policy Of the
unionist party. He yielded to them
again last year when they required
that the budget should be rejected by
the house Of lords. Is there any man
Of sane judgment in the unionist par
ty who does not know in his heart
that II the unionist party were free
from the protectionist ENHANCEMENT
and that II it had not committed the
gigantic error of inciting the lords
to reject the budget, its position and
prospects at the present moment
would be vastly improved"
+ Altogether Mr.. Balfour's opening
gun would seem to have thrown the
ranks Of his adherents into confusion
by its recoil rather than to have done
damage to the enemy by its charge.
His reference to the work done by
the conference of eight, from which
he said good results would undoubt-
edly accrue, are not taken to mean
that the question of the lords will be
settled for good and all by the meet
ings Of the leaders Of both parties in
Downing street; but there seems some
likelihood that the edge will be taken
off the quarrel and that other mat
ters will take its place in the fore
front of British politics.
Chief among these is the problem
raised by the Osborne case judgment.

A Complies Question.
The question, how is compli-
Gated in various waysS md a settle
ment may be tardy. Meanwhile the
fortunes Of the labor party, in case q
general election becomes necessary,
will be very precarious; while, as for
the socialist section of that party, 1t
is generally believed that it will be
almost completely wiped out Of ex-
istence.
The English press has been paying
very little attention to the predic-
tions of the Irish members Of parlia-
ment now in America of q general
election next January. Punch makes
one of the few comments on their
tour. 1t has cartoon entitled "The
Mendicant Dictators" representing
Messrs. Redmond and O'Connor play

hat.
Mr.. Redmond is quoted as saying:
"The Entertainment don't seem to be

plies: It's the baste O'Brien doin' us.

MORGAN HAD POOR
CASE IN COURT
Supreme Court Of the United
States Not Much Impress
ed With Plea

Washington. Oct. 13.-The import
anceof David Morgan getting his name
on the ballot 90 the candidate of the
public ownership party for congress
in the Fifth district Of Minnesota, did
not impress the supreme court of the
United States today sufficiently to in
duce 1t to hear his appeal at once.
Morgan was nominated by delegate
convention. Minnesota oficials con-
sequntly refuse to put his name on the
ballot. Morgan brought the case to
the supreme court to have the direct
primary law of Minnesota declared
unconstitutional. Yesterday the court
was aske dto advance his case in time
to get his name on the ticket for next
November's election. Today the court
announced it's refusal Of the request.
Under ordinary circumstances the
case will not be heard until about two
years from this time.

was reported as improving today. The
swelling of the stomach, which caused
the interference with the heart action

ing of one Of the valves of the heart

Cincinnati, Oct. 13.-Because Of the

Small's investigation of graft. Col.
Paul Millikin was asked to resign

No mention Of Col. Millikin as an al

made but the Mayor held that he
should have been conversant with the
conditions and corrected them. Mil
likin refused to tender his resigna-
ton and said he would fight every ef-
fort to cause his removal.
