1t would be we'll for the people OF
Iowa, before definitely making UP their
minds in regard to the public utilities
bill! before the legislature, to endeavor
10 ascertain what interests are spend
ing large sums of money in a cam
paign of publicity TO fight the bills
that have been presented. Every news
paper OF the state is being flooded with
circulars from Des Moines directed
against the bills. 1t appears to be the
desire of some interests. provided with
ample financial backing. to kill the
bills that have been presented ami
which give TO the state the authori."
to regulate public service corporations.
The bills as at first presented were
defective, but the principle OF having
some authority to which cities may ap
peal to compel the enforcement of de-
cent service at reasonable cost is q
good one.

 It is pointed out that in Great Brit ain an athlete may be a profession al in one sport and an amateur in an other For instance, there are a nun Der of professional cricketers who play amateur football. Still the press has expressed varied sentiments. Commenting editoriaIly upon the sub
 We feel rather sorry for Thorpe, who seems to have posed as an anna teur rather in ignorance than with any attempt at deliberate fraud, and think a little more gently conducted. The purity Of American amateur athletics stands as high as ever-''
 On the other hand, the Globe says:
 ''Thorpe's admission will hardly in- crease the belief of the world in gen era1 in the purity of American sport, since he appears only to have done what numerous other college men are in the habit of doin.v
 Captain F. w. Jones, acting secre- tary of the British Olympic Commit tee, said in an interview:
 EEIt seems to me that the Americans are behaving extremely we'll in a, try ing position. The American Athletic Union undoubtedly guaranteed Thorpe as an amateur in all good faith. The indiscretion lies with Thorpe and his immediate friends. hear several of our famous Rugby football players are to be brought up before their com mittee for playing for money during the past Summer in France. This shows how innocently it may be pos sible to stray from the strict path"

DUBUC WON'T TAKE S4,OOO
 FOR HIS PAY

Detroit, Jan 30-Jean Dubuc, the Detroit pitcher, has sent his contract back to. President Navin of the T1g- CTS, and inc1osed a request for Navin not to return it unless he increased the figures named therein. Navin is much peeved at his Canadian fling CT, and says Dubuc will not get a cent more than the contract called for. The contract which Jean returned was for $4. 900.
 ''Dubuc has been treated well by this club said Navin yesterday. "A failed once in the big 1eauguess and we took a chance with him. He made good, and proved to be our win hing pitcher. I will say that for him. The club gave him a nice boost in salary, and the contract we offered to him called for salary which was almost double what he got two years ago in the International League.
 The Detroit club is not a. nint-it ond division team, and have lost much of our attraction on the road, as it is now three years since we were champions. It is absolutely necessary for the club to economize in some way, and the salaries our stars are trying to get from us are entirely out of the question:
 Dubus, in a, letter written to friends here, says he is not worrying and gets what he is after. He is play ing hockey in Montreal, and says he is enjoying life He intends to coach the Notre Dame baseball team in the spring, and by that time he thinks Navin will realize he is in earnest.

Choice Has Narrowed Down To Him And
 Frank Hinkey Now

be appointed, according to reports.
 The contest has narrowed down to Frank Hinkey and, Howard Jones, and both have warm supporters. Hinkey's poor health is urged by some ad verse to his selection and fear that he might find the stress of a gruelling gridiron campaign too eKacting is felt by some of his friends He has never been head coach, although he has act ed as visiting coach at Yale annually for many seasons. Howard Jones is still regarded as the ideal coacn, and he is being strongly urged to with draw his determination not to accept the post.
 A decision is looked for almost any day, and the Yale officials are hopeful he will change his mind and agree to return to the university to place foot ball on it's feet. It is known that his choice would prove decidedly accept able to the faculty and one entirely unofficial runor has 1t that President Hadley had added his word of request to that of many other Yale men. Jones was the last Yale head coach to win victories over both Harvard and Princeton when he handled Ted Coy's eleven four seasons ago.
