One Of the principal matters that
will come up for consideration will
be that OF uniform legislation as to

STATEHOOD SPECIAL
FAILS TO MATERIALIzE
NO ARMY OF BOOSTERS WILL
MOVE ON WASHINGTON TO
CAPTURE CONGRESS

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Feb. 4.-The
committee in charge of the proposed
statehood special to Washington has
been obliged 10 cancel all arrange
ments for the trip. Owing to the re-
quirements of the interstate COM
merce laws it was necessary to file
the special rate in Washington five
days before the party started from AL
buquerque and this could not be done
until the full one hundred men had
signified their intention of making the
trip. Up to last night less than the
required number of names had been
received and the committee was there
fore reluctantly forced to call off the
trip. While it is quite likely that the
full number of applications would
have been received before next Thurs.
day, those contemplating going to
Washington did not realize the impor
tance of making their applications
early. But the commerce laws are
inflexible and there was nothing fol
the committee to do but call off the
arrangements. All checks mailed tc
Treasurer Luna were returned today

MORE CHANGES in
THE FOOTBALL RULES
INTERMISSlCN CUT FROM THREE
TO TWO MlNUTES-ROUGH-
NESS PROHIBITED

New York, Feb. 1.-The intercol-
legiate football rules committee did
little more surgery on the game at
a meeting held in New York yester-
day.
With E. K. Hall of Dartmouth as
chairman and Walter Camp as sec
retary, the committee decided that
intermisslons were too long and re-
duced the periods between the first
and second and the third and fourth
quarters from three minutes to two
minutes. A new rule was adopted
permitting teams by agreement to
transfer the supervision of off side
play from the line of scrimmage
from umpire to head linesman. The
linesman, however, is to report an
infraction to the umpire.
Another new rule provides that
throwing player to the ground ar
ter the referee has declared the bal
dead may be considered unnecessary
roughness. An amendment was
adopted allowing only three men to
walk up and down the field on each
side of the line. The present rule al
lows five.
If the ball accidentally strikes al
official, provides another amendment
it shall not become dead, but play
shall continue.
A new rule specifies that all pen
alties under the rule regulating the
forward pass shall be applied from
the spot of the odwn, and not on the
spot from which the pass was made

EXTRADITION BASED
ON INNOCENT ride
NEW YORK COURT DECIDES GEO
M. MEAKER MUST RETURN
TO TEXAS

New York, Feb. 4.-Because George
M. Meaker of this city took buggy
ride across the New Mexico line to
Texline, Texas, although he probably
was not aware at the time that he was
leaving New Mexico, he must go to
the Lone Star state to answer a charge
of having defrauded George Mating
ly. The appellate division of the su-
preme court of New York has so de-
cided, after entertaining Meaker's ap-
plication to reverse the findings of
the lower court which ordered his ex-
tradition. Meaker based his fight
against extradition on the contention
he was not in Texas at the time the
alleged fraud was committed.

BELIEF PREVAILS THAT HE DE-

London, Feb. 4.-The name of Lieu
tenant Frederick Fermor Hesketh, of
the Ninth Lancers, who so strangely
dropped out of sight last fall, today
was stricken from the rolls of the Brit
ish army, because of absence without
leave.
He is son of Sir Thomas George
Fermor and Lady Fermor Hesketh,
and a grandson of the late United
States Senator William Sharon of
Nevada. A worldwide search for the
lieutenant failed of result.
He left his mothers residence on
the afternoon of October 20, saying he
would return soon. The last seen of
him was the following morning when
he landed from steamer at Kingston,
Ireland. 1t has been suggested he
sailed for the United States

GORILLA MADE SHORT
WORK OF BULL DOG
WHOLE MALE POPULATION OF
LOUISIANA HAMLET ATTEND
ED BRUTAL FIGHT

New iberia. La, Feb. "A fight
to death between a gorilla and an
English bull dog, was fought here
early today. almost the entire male
population of New Iberia being the
spectators. Much money was wag-
cred. A pen IL feet square and s
feet high was arranged. The dog
and gorilla were placed in the pen
at midnight and exactly IL minutes
later the dog was defunct. The dog
leaped at the gorilla the instant 1t
was placed in the pen. The GORILLA
caught him as man catches q base
ball, then bit quickly through the
dogs skull into the brain, broke its
back and literally tore it to pieces.
