RULES FATE IS
MUCH In
DOUBT
Committee That Meets Today
Divided as to Reformed
Football" Legislation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Suggested
changes in football rules for the COM
ing season presaged a warm fight
among the members of the football
rules committee which gathered here
today for the regular annual meeting
that is likely to las two days. Some
members of the committee believe that
the present rules are all SUFFICIENT,
while the so-called progress believe
that changes are necessary in order to
bring about a fairer and better-bal-
anced game.
A sharp fight was anticipated on
the question Of the forward pass over
the line Of scrimmage.
Some committeeman are in favor OF
limiting the forward pass to behind
the line of scrimmage on h ground
that it limits any dangerous hazards.

That Effect.
Especial to tn. Newark Star,

LONG BRANCH, Feb. Eddie
Zimmerman. the Newark International
t~hird-sacker. Is done with baseball.
So he has written to friends here in
his town. The Newark inielder de-
clares that he was cut on his salary
for he coming season and is very hot

zimmerman spends his winters at

a good income. and unless the Newark
Club decides to pay him his former
salary. feels that he can afford to quit

zimmerman's absence would be felt
greatly, without a doubt. He was to
have been appointed captain this year,
and his work at third base would All

however, 40 both sides will probably
compromise and Zimmerman will not

The robbery was discovered shortly

the police department, stating that
three men had been talking of the rob-
berry and had changed their clothing in
a room which he was occupying in the
place. He stated that the men had left
the lodging house, but protested ig--
norance as to their whereabouts and
denied knowing anything further of

The police at once investigated the
story and found that a double bar
which held the e IA door of the store
had been broken down. Indications
pointed to two trips having been made
by the men,. 1t is believed that the
first time they took a number of second
hand trousers and discovering their
mistake returned and made a more
careful selection. OF the ~overcoats
stolen, one valued at $40 had been sold,
the purchaser having paid $25 down
and was to have taken it out today.
The other coats were valued at $40
and $32.

WILL SEND YOUNG
FOLKS TO FARGO

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 25.-More
exhibits for the industrial contest to
be held here Nov. 80 are coming in
every day and while the year a not
been of the best for the raising of
corn, the contest promises to show
that the proper care has been reward
ed with very good quality Of the prod
uct. Provision for sending the eight
winners of first places to the Boys
and Girls institute at Fargo have been
made by the board of county COM
m~issioners.
In former years the money for
sending the winners to the institute
has been raised by subscription, but
this year the commissioners decided
to appropriate the none for the
purpose. The view was expressed by
one that the contests which had been
conducted in the county during the
past few years had done more to
arouse interest in the raising of corn
than any other n agency and 1t
was for that reason that the COM
missioners believed that the money
would be we'll spent.
Corn will not be the only product
which will be exhibited at the con-
test. While most Of the exhibits
WnlCh nave arrived are from the boys
who went in for that line. the girls
who have been raising chickens and
devoting themselves to sewing will
have their exhibits here. 1t is TX
pected that while not all of those
who have entered the contest will be
able to be present at the judging,
that a number Of them will come
with their parents. While here the
children will be the guests of r. B,
Griffith.
Professor Randlett of the agricul-
tural college will be present to judge
the corn exhibits and may also judge
the poultry. Miss Mary E. Sutherland
Of the domestic science department OF
the local high school will judge the
sewing. The judging will be done al
the courthouse at 1870 in the after
noon.
In addition to the first prizes, there
will be a number of cash prizes fol
the second best in the several classes
The winners of the first places will b,
given prizes that will be Of mucI
practical benefit. They will have a.
excellent opportunity to begin thei
education along the lines of moder,
farming methods by actually seein
the work carried on. ...-

was soon turned on and the blaze ex-
tinguished. IA large portion OF the

barber shop were taken out before the
fire was under control. The fact \
there vas practically no wind, the

has been employed at the ThornWay
hotel in various capacities.
