MANY CHANGES
MADE IN RULES
OFFE NSlVE AND DEFENSIVE
PLAY EQUALlZED BY FOOT
BALL RULES COMMITTEE
AT NEW YORK.

| New York, Feb. 5.-Since the re-
port of the football rules committee
Saturday, in which Vulnerable changes
are suggested in the playing rules
there has been much discussion Of the
| recommendation by those interested
in the college sport. on the whole
they have been favorably received.
Probably the most radical change is
| that which shortens the length IF the
field from 40 yards to 100 Yards. thus
making is possible TO teams which
meet on the smaller fields to avail
themselves of the forward pass 10 the
| fullest possible extent. The agitation
in favor of abolishing tho forward
! pass met with little support. most Of
the members OF the committee taking
the stand that the pass has made the
game more open and resulted In an i'm
provement.
Following are the PRINCIPAL charges
| recommended:
1.-The play ing field, now 10 yards
| in length. will be shortened to an even
100 yards. This change. it is felt, is
not vital, but it is made In order &c
tension of territory in which the for
ward pass may be used
"A zone of 10 Yards width beyond
the goal line is established. The pur-
pose OF this is to provide ample space
for execution of the forward pass and
scoring ON n pass made across the
goal line into this zone is permitted.
3-The number of downs to gain
zen yards i'm is Increased by one.
4-The on-kick is eliminated
5-The value Of a touchdown is in
creased from FIVE points TO six points
the goal from touchdown and Other
scores standing as at present.
6-The twenty yard zone i'm which
the present rules now provide restric-
ton of interference with the forward
pass. is eliminated, so that the restric.
ton will apply now to any part of
the field.
AFTER a touchback the ball will
he put i'm play from the 2O-yard line
instead of the 2j-yard line.
Son the Kickoff, a bail. instead
of being put in play in the center of
the field, will be put in play from the
i0-yard line Of the team Kicking off.
Taking into consideration the shorten
ing of the field and this change i'm tn,
rules. the kick off distance is length
ened by five yards
9-The field judge is eliminated. The
head linesman hereafter will keel
time and be judge of offside plays in
the line of scrimmage.
10-The number of men allowed on
the sidelincs. now three. will be re-
duced to one for each team.
11-Provision will be made that a
bouncing ball cannot score a legiti-
mate goal
12-The interval between the first
and second and the third and fourth
period is reduced from ? minutes to
/ minute.

MAKE STONE FROM STAG.
Process Common in Germany; Lime
Used in Mixture.

Used in Mixture.
Slack from smelters and blast fur
naces is manufactured into building
stone i'm Germany. and the industry
has assumed Importance. According
to Consul lift of Nuremberg, the pro-
cess is not patented and is very
simple i'm details. Practically all blast
furnace and smelter Stag is suitable
for stone making. Slag for this pur-
pose must. however. be in granulated
state. After It has been allowed to
harden it is unsuitable. The Stag is
graduated by the addition of water
as it flows hot from the oven or fur
mace.
1t is then mixed with dime, and
while moist in this condition is sub
jected to pressure in molds of the de-
sired size and shape A special type
OF press. with pressure power of from
$4,000 TO 10000 pounds is used. The
granulated Stag. after being thorough
ly mixed with the required proportion
of lime. is allowed to stand one hour
before being put through the press.
After being pressed the stones are
stacked in the open air, where after
three or four weeks, according 10 the
weather, they are ready for use.
Under low temperature they harden
slowly. If subjected to frost before
thoroughly hardened they are crum-
bled and destroyed. These stones
grow constantly harder with time
and after several years show Won
derful resistance.-Chicago Daily News.

like UNIT Plan
LOvett Says Union Pacific
Will Continue II.
Evidence VIII Be Used to Fight
Trust Prosecution.

San Francisco, Sept. 6.-Judge Robert
S. Lovett, president of the board of d.
rectors of the Hartman railway system
here on tour of inspection, said before
leaving tonight that the unit system
of operating Hartman roads had
proved satisfactory and would be made
permanent.
The unit system, by which the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific, Oregon Short
Line and Oregon Washington railroad
and Navigation company were made
entirely autonomous, having their own
officials from president down. was es-
tablished last spring.
The governments suit to have the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific de-
clared a railroad trust on the ground
that the com mbination operated parallel
lires without competition, was then
pending. The unit system was put into
operation primarily to demonstrate
that the agreement between the four
lines was one of convenience merely
and not a merger. A few days after
the lines were segregated, the United
States circuit court announced it's de-
cision that the lines were not merger.
The government appealed, however
and Judge Lovett desired the re-organ-
ization made permanent. This fact will
be offered in evidence should the Su-
preme court order the case reopened
New traffic agreements, resembling
those usually in effect between rail-
roads of different ownership, were rati-
fed by Judge Lovett today for the four
roads,

Tells Audience U. s. Ships
Should Pay Canal Toll.
Bill Could N0FIHave Passed
without Provision.

Enterprise. Kan, Sept. 6.-Congress
man Rees. of the Fifth Kansas dis
trict, declared it to be his belief that
American ships should be made to pay
canal tolls as well as foreign ships
in his speech to the Dickinson county
old settlers here Thursday. He said
however, that the Panama canal bill
could not have been passed except as
1t was passed, there being a feeling
that The Hague might hold the United
States bound by any other action in
Interpreting the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
His friends were surprised at what
Rees said, and the statement did not
seem to meet the approval of the au-
olence. Senator Hodges, Democratic
candidate for governor. Congressn,an
Rees, and DR.. Blayney of Abilene were
the principal speakers.

Business Men Decide in Favor
of Santa EFF Head.
Commission Has DemoraIized
Business, Bulletin Says.

The State Journal yesterday made a
reference to the controversy between
President Ripley of the Santa Fe, and
Chairman Mayfield of the Texas rail-
road commission, regarding those laws
OF Texas which in their application are
exerting bad effect upon railway con-
struction in that state. The Texas Com
nrercia1 Secretaries and Business Men j
association has issued a bulletin on the
subject, deciding the case in favor of
President Ripley. The bulletin follows:
''Mr. Ripley has built more miles of
railroad and Influenced more capital to
invest in railroad property in Texas
during the past five years than any
other living man. He has the ear and
the confidence of railroad investors and
when money is put into railroad securi-
ties in Texas in any very considera BILE
quantities, it will be done on the re-
commentator of such men as Mr..
Ripley and the people of Texas should,
therefore, listen attentively to what ne
has to say
1.-THE policy of discrediting the views
of railroad financierS so assiduousIy
followed by the Texas railroad commits
sion has brought friction between the
railroad commission and railroad
builders, and the commissions custom
OF casting aside well esta bIished rules
OF business and substituting it's own
theories, has lost it the confidence Of
the investigating public. AS a result
the commission now finds itself unable
to cope with the larger problems of the
department, and as a consequence rail-
road construction is minimized, the
movement of traffic demoralized and
development stagnated.
Thus an important branch of gov
ernment which, if skillfully managed,
would become a power for progress. IS
compelled to confine its work to filing
law suits against railroads, entering
into academic discussions before da-
ba ting societies and giving out newspa-
per interviews
