Philadelphia Pa, Feb. 3.-The wind
up of the dinner Of the Periodical Pub
fishers Association was marked by
tart denunciation of Senator La Fol-
Newspaper Publishers' Association,
who acted as toastmaster.
Senator La Toilette began his speech
near midnight and spoke for nearly
two hours. The more than 500 diners,
wearded by the prolonged talking of
the Wisconsin senator, frequently in
terrupted him. Much Of his speech
impeachment of the sincerity Of the
newspaper press of the country.
When he had finished Toastmasfer
Seitz said:
Il shall not attempt, nor have the
time to come to the defense Of the
newspapers OF the country which have
just been fooiishiy. wiclkedly and un-
truthfrIly assailed"
NO SIGN or HEARING.
Senator La Toilette made no sign of
hearing the caustic remarks, which
were uttered In 8 half angry tone.
Today in an interview Mr.. Seitx
said:
"As the banquet was given by the
publishers and as q guest Of Cyrus H.
x. Curtis, president OF the association,
had to be cautious In my remarks
on Senator La Toilette. I don't recall
exactly what said when the senator
had finished, but / do remember de-
claring that the senator had made an
unkind. unjust and wilfulIy malicious
attack on the newspapers Of the ma
tion and IL there had been more time
/ would have said sonnethfng stronger.

Previous to that. time the senator

and when he concluded certainly re-

not knowing the relationship between

The portion Of Senator La Fol-

exception was as follows:

the following: Extra down allowed

The playing field, now 11o yards in

extension Of territory in which a for
ward pass may be used. A zone of
ten yards in width beyond the goal
lines was established. The twenty
yards zone, in which the present rules
provide restrictions to interference
with q forward pass, was eliminated
