In order to even up matters, the
committee at last winters meeting
voted to allow the offensive team four
downs to make ten yards. This is
sure to result in more rushing and
there will be more of the spectacular
play than there has been since the in
auguration of the forward pass and
the ten-yard rule. This is one of the
most important changes.
The next change of importance Is
in regard to the forward pass. I'm:
der the old ruling, a forward pass
could not be completed behind the
goal line. This ruling made it al
most impossible for the offensive team
to gain ground when close to its op-
ponent's goal line, because the secon-
Diary defense was pulled up to
reinforce the forward line, which vir-
tually meant that an offensive player
had to penetrate two lines of defense.
Under the new rule the defensive
eleven can not pull its secondary line
up too close because some players will
have to stay back to intercept for
ward passes. Consequently the often
sive team will have better chances OF
scoring, which is only just as a re-
ward for it's efforts in rushing the ball
to within scoring distance. This is an
important change and should be re-
membered, as there are many posi-
bilities of the amendment which can
result in plays being evolved which
will result in scores if executed prop
erly.
No Field Judge.
The elimination of the field Judge
is the next change of Importance. This
Otncial was not a necessity. Several
times officials had arguments with the
field Judge in regard to certain in
Engagements Of the rules, which came
under the Jurisdiction of all four ar
biters. Instead of the field Judge
keeping time, the head linesman now
will hold the watch.
The time between the first and Sec
ond and third and fourth quarters has
been reduced from two minutes to one,
while the intermission between the
second and third periods, which gen
orally is known as the time between
halves, will be the same as usual, fiji
teen minutes. AS the rule books al
ready have been published, the first
point for football beginners is to get
copy of the code
1t is not necessary to purchase all
the armor which so many football
players wear A lot of hard training
will put the nOviCes in condition to
stand few hard knocks, besides Civ
ing their musclse more freedom of
action. A suit padded on the thighs
is sufficient. Light headgears should
be worn by the linemen, but the backs
and ends should not wear helmets, as
they interfere with their work, espe-
cialIy in offensive play, when the sig
mails can not be heard distinctly. 1t
is all right for a plunging back or a
smashing back to wear them, but they
should be of light material. Jerseys
padded at the shoulders to protect the
collar bones are sufficient. Nose
guards never should be worn except
in case of badly bruised nose. Free
dom of action is more important to
teams success than anything else.

Officials Claim that the Ex-
plosion Was the Result
of an Accident.
SOME SUSPECT PLOT
Troops Patrol Streets and Number
of Arrests Made-Body of President
Recovered.

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Aug.9.-
Though it is stated officially that
the explosion which destroyed the
national palace and caused Presi-
dent LIE Conte's death wa an acci-
dent, the precautions taken today
by Gen. Tancrede Auguste, whom
the chamber and senate chose as lie
Conte's successor, strongly suggest
suspicion of revolutionary plot.
Troops are patrolling the streets,
the houses Of several persons be-
lieved to be dissatisfied with the
present government have been scar
ched and a number of arrests have
been made without explanation.
Foreigners in Hayti are very I'M
easy and the arrival OF the Ameri-
can gunboat Nashville from Guant-
anamo is anxiously awaited.
Washington, Aug. 9.-The eXplo-
sion which blew up the executive
mansion at Port Au Prince and Kill
led President Cincinnatus lie Conte
and killed 100 Haytians yesterday
was accidental, due to spontane-
Gus combustion, Minister Henry
W. Furniss reported to the State
Department today.
Many of the Presidents party in
Hayti have been charging that the
explosion was the work of rcvoiu-
tionists.
The accident is now said to have
resulted from improper ventilation
of the smokeless powder magazines
n the Presidents palace.
Workmen last night recovered the
bodv of President lie Conte from
the debris of the palace. lie Conte
was asleep in bed when the cXplos-
ion occurred. Examination OF his
body TODAY shows that he was not
killed by falling timbers which PIN
ned him to his bed, but was held in
the ruins alive until he was burned
to death by the advancing flames.
Another body recovered from the
ruins last night was that Of LIE Con-
te's son, who was minister of public
works.

WOOL BILL VETOED
President Sends Special Message to
Congress.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Veto of the
wool bill was emphatically expressed
by President Taft in a special mes
sage to congress today, urging that
the legislature "do not adjourn with
out taking advantage of the plain op-
portunity y substantially to reduce
duties for forming bill along the
lines recommended by the tariff board.
That the LaFollette bill was not
drafted from the boards recommen-
dations and would result in "irretriv-
able injury to the wool-growing indus
try, the enforced idleness of much OF
our wool-combing and spinning mach
inery, and of thousands of looms, and
the consequent throwing out of employ
ment thousands of workmen." was as
serted by the President as the specl-
fc reason why he refused to approve
the measure.

TO HAVE IMMUNITY

Washington, Aug. 9.-The beef
trust has obtained immunity from in
vestigation, it was learned today, un-
til after the presidential election and
possibly for a longer time.
Congress has declered closed sea-
son on trust investigations to last
until next winter and the beef trust
and other trusts which have been
in danger of probing will benefit alike.
The House judiciary committee which
has the authority and the funds to in
vestigate the whole trust problem, has
called a halt.
It's members, as well as alother
Congressman say they have done
enough investigating at this session
and inasmuch as they will soon have
to hasten home to mend their political
fences and make preparations for the
campaign, Congressional and Presi-
Dental, they want to get the trust
question off their minds for a time.
The present House has done more
investigating of trusts. it is claimed,
than an of is predecessors and nnem-
bers are entitled to vacation from
trust hunting activities.
When the jucidary committee does
undertake an inquiry into the causes
behind the rapidly advancing prices
of meat it will be in connection with
Wholesale inquiry into the high cost
Of living question. Congressman have
been impressed with the fact that the
cost of living question is one of the
most important of the day, but they
contend that nothing will be gained
by trying to probe it while there is
so much politics in the air and their
motives might be questioned.
The money trust investigation is ex-
pectcd to be the first to resume in
the fall. The Pujo committee of the
House which has this in charge, is
now collecting information to be used
when activity is resumed in Novenl-

THE TURKISH QUESTION.

An aparition which has appeared at
intervals during the life time of the
present generation is again gliding
about Europe. 1t is the Turkish
question. Harassed by internal dis
sensions. rebelions and menaces
from contiguous countries, the
"house of cards" which has been
maintained by other nations in or
der to uphold the balance of power,
is tottering and, it is believed, is
about to fall.
The outcome of this collapse is
viewed with the greatest alarm by
nearly all European nations, as the
scramble to secure parts Of the Mos
lem carcase will surely bring about
clashes. Russia has had her eyes
upon Constantinople for many years.
In 1878, during her conflict with Turk
ey, the Cars troops marched so
close to Constantinople that the Rus
slams could hear the cries of mucz-
zins summoning the faithful to pray
er. The mailed hand of England,
however, stopped the Russians from
going any further, and "the sick
man" was again nursed into life.
Austria has always had sinister de-
signs on Turkey.
Two violent political parties are
now struggling for power. The en-
emies of Turkey, availing themselves
of the advantages such state of at
fairs affords, are causing trouble.
Montenegro is on the war path ana,
according to dispatches from differ
ent centres, Bulgaria is about TO
throw open the temple of Janus
The year 1912 may be eventful.

way home after matrimonial agency
romance that ended in Judge Burke
sending her back east at his own ex-

serious situation in West Virginia's
mine troubles today when 1,50o men

had been rioting for two weeks.
Their grievance is over the question

efforts to get the entire district out
with them.
The scene Of the strike IS six miles

BECKER IS WEEPING
Former Police Lieutenant, However,
Denies He Has Any Intention of
Making Confession.

New York, Aug. 9.-Charles S.
Whitman, district attorney of New
York, now leading the fight against
the police alliance with vice there, will
be asked to become the progressive
candidate for governor. He was the
choice of most of the delegates from
this state who returned from the Chi
cago convention today. Failing accept
ance by Whitman the nomination lies
between William H. Hotchkiss, sup
erintendent of insurance under Gov.
Hughes and City Comptroller Fender
gast.
The progressive state convention
has been called to meet in Syracuse
September 5 and 9Th.
1t today was predicted that rigid
probe of the Rosenthal murder and po-
lice graft scandal more drastic and
far reaching than either the grand
jury inquisition or the proposed AL
dermatic inquiry would result from
the citizens mass meeting to be held
next Wednesday night in Cooper I'm

mess men in New York, including
Jacob NJ. Schiff, J. Piermont Morgan,
DIR. Layman Abbott, Joseph Choate,
Jr., Felix Adler, William Loeb, Jr.
Elihu Root, Jr., and many others.
Interest today centered chiefly
around Lieut.. Becker. Following a
conference with his counsel, John F.
Mcintyre, Becker is said to have cried
Historically in his Tombs cell, while
Mcintyre was in consultation with Dis
trict Attorney Whitman. Neither law
yer would discuss what was said but
Whitman, did not deny that full con-
fession from the accused lieutenant
would go long way toward saving
Becker from the electric cnalr.
For the first time since his indict-
ment and confinement in the Tombs
for the murder of Herman Rosenthal,
Lieut.. Charles Becker today made
statement. 1t was to deny that he had
broken down or would confess. He
said:
"I want to be understood once and
for all that I have no confession to
make for the simple reason that have
nothing to confess. That will be proved
very clearly at the proper time-that
is when 1 have my day in court. Ply
sically, I never felt better in my life
and anyone who is permitted to see
me will so testify"

Mother of Quadruptets.

Boston, Aug. 9.-The Hub today
claims another record. Four days
ago today Mrs. F. II. Seeley, OF Dor
chester, presented her husband with
quadruplets-all girls. All were
we'll today and this morning they
did nothing but COO and take their
turns "at table"
Miss Flora Welch, matron Of the
hospital, where mother and babies
are, said today there was no case on
record of quadruplets living as long
as the Seeley babies. The fact that
none had exercized her lungs wor-
ried the physicians.
"Along about eight o'clock this
morning" said Miss Welch "All
four began screaming Justify, so we
think they will live"
