successful. Starting with Checkers"
his first and only dramatic writing,
he rapidly followed with "The Yankee
Consul" Mile. Modesto THE Prlma
Donna" and "The Red Mill" In "The
Red Mill Mr.. Blossom has succeeded
in telling an unusually interesting
story dealing with the adventures OF
a frisky pair of Americans who are
doing Europe for the first time but
who strike a snag in one of the small
villages Of Holland when their money
gives out, and the most amusing COM
plications follow, which lead them to
assume all kinds of DISCUSSES. The
music Of Mr.. Herbert Is of the whistle
able kind and satisfies not only music
lovers alone, but the masses to whom
song is one of the greatest delights.
The company of 40 people has been
carefully selected and embraces a cast
of rare individuality, headed by James
Crawley and William Moore, who in
terpret the two Americans, Con Kid
der and Kid Conner.

Manager E. T. Dolly personally
selected the bill to be seen at the
Empire next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, Jan. 1-3, and he recon-
mends it to theatregoers who wish
for entertainment of a high stan
dard. The Andrews Opera company
will be the headline feature. This
singing organization ranks first
among vaudeville attractions and in
cludes soloists of fame. Miss Nell
lie Andrews, whose singing is known
to many local amusement lovers,
will be with this organization. Spe-
cial scenery is carried. This feature
is one of the largest ever presented
at the Empire prices. Ralph Con.
nors, the celebrated ventriloquist,
will present an offering which in

in voice throwing. The Musical

CHANGES IN FOOTBALL
RULES RECOMMEN DED

New York, Dec. 3O.-While the off,
cial business Of the National Collegi-
ate association of America was con-
cluded in a very late session Thursday
night, many of the delegates remained
over in the city to discuss informally
the suggested reform in college
sports, especially that relating to foot
ball. The football rules committee
held a secret session to prepare what
ever suggestions it may wish to pro-
pose a little later at the joint meet
ing with the general rules committee
The committee will recommend the
following changes: To keep the game
open as much as possible; TO clarity
and simplify the present code; to pub
lish the rules each fall instead of each
spring; to remove the 20 yard limit
on the forward pass, provided a man
catch the ball before it hits the
ground. The football rules commit
tee is composed of DR.. H. L. Williams,
Minnesota: DIR. J. A Babbitt, Haver-
ford: E. K. Hall, Dartmouth: Profes-
sor w. L. Dudley, Vanderbilt; Pro
fessor c. W. Savage, Oberlin, and
Professor S. c. Williams, Iowa State.

HAD GIVEN AWAY ROBE

Chicago, Dec. 30.-Frank Gotch sure
ly is working the prerogative of a
champion overtime. The big Iowan
had it announced after his match with
Alec Munroe, the English champion,
at Kansas City the other night that he
was through with the wrestling game
for all time. He even went so far as
to give away the bathrobe which he
has worn to the ring for all his impor-
tant matches. The Humboldt farmer,
however, has his eye on fine piece
OF river bottom land near his place, and
has decided to take another whirl at
the mat game-just one more bout, he
says-and get the necessary where
withal to buy the aforesaid land.
SINCERE, HE CLAIMS.
Emil Klank, manager of the cham
pion, made this announcement yester-
day. Gotch is to wrestle one more
match in Chicago provided a man is
found who can beat Mahmout. which
may mean that he will stay in retire
ment.
Frank is sincere about retiring,
said Klank, 'but he never will be con
tent to stay on the farm at Humboldt
Iowa, If Mahmout, whom he character
ICES as the best wrestler that evel
came from foreign land, is defeated
1t will be Frank into hard training
right of the reel to prepare himsel
for a contest with the conqueror O
Mahmout. The big fellow instructed
me to say that whenever Mahmout wa,
defeated he would come out of retire
ment to beat the victorious wrestler.
UP TO GOTCH.
AS the program now stands, Nah
mout will meet the winner of the Jes
Pedersen-C oorderelli match at the Col
scum New Years night, on Jan. 15. ais
at the Coliseum. This is the only otf
er date available for the promotin
club. Should Mahmout meet defeat o.
that evening 1t will be up to Champio
Gotch to meet the victor.

for the year 1911 and submit its re-
port to the legislature. The report
will do much to show the real condi-
ton of the boxing game in the east,
at the same time bringing out how
the commission scheme of regulation
has benefited the state treasury. The
report will show that fully $4,000
has been turned into the state treas
ury during the first four months OF
the new law. II this average is main
tanned the yearly income will be $45,-

that 100000 have been taken in by

TAE POWER or The NAVY

Sir Hiram Maxim has given his life
TO the study OF firearms and expo
siyes. Secretary Meyer has devoted
IRIS energies To selling goods and
manufacturing ploNs and yet when
the former says the numerous eXplo-
sions in the American navy were due
to the kind Of powder It uses, the
latter says this statement Is mwor-
thy of serious consideration.
Now Secretary Meyer may know
as much about face powder as Sf
Hiram Maxim, We do not believe
that Sir Hiram Ma2im's knowledge
of the other kind Of powder is equal
to Secretary Meyers ignorance oi IT,,
for that would be supposing that sir
Hiram knows all about i, and we
doubt about any one thing. But un-
queslla aIsf y jalif Hiram knows aS
much about firearms and explosives
as any man knows and It sounds RI
diculous TO hear that his statements
on this subject are considered by "a
man who knows as little about i as
any man knows as unworthy OF con-
sideration.
