CHANGE SUGGESTED
 IN NAMING CADETS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-To insure full utilization of the educational ad- vantages of the academy, Col Towns ley, superintendent of West Point Mill tary Academy, suggests a radical change in the method of appointing cadets through Senators and Repre- sentatives. He would throw these de sirable places open to the youth of the Nation as the result of competitive ev- aminatiOns, to be conducted by boards in the various sections of the country, and successful candidates would thus be relieved from the necessity of pass ing entrance examinations.
 Col. Townsley, asserts that only A per cent. of the officers of the army are West Pointers. This, he believes, could he corrected if the academy were filled to it's capacity for a few years.

 BIG ESTATE CASE
OO

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28-Dr. w. w. Fraser, who was testifying on the witness stand yesterday to the ligi- tmacy of the child that was said to have been born to Mrs. Slingsby, and to be heir to the fortune of the late Lieut. C.. E. Slingsby, of England, broke down on the witness stand and admitted that he had received $500 for falsifying the birth certificate of the child. English claimants of the vast estate of Lieut. Slingsby sought to show that the boy was not the child of Lieut.. and Mrs. Slingsby. It was alleged that in fact it was the child of a young woman that was a student in one of Califor- nia's educational institutions, born out of wedlock and that Mrs Slingsby se- cured it and attempted to prove that 1t was her own that she might through 1t secure the estate of her husband.

NEW TARIFF LAW
 WORKS SATISFACTORY

BOSTON, Oct. 27.-Inquiry among leading manufacturers in the indus tries of national scope that have their center in Boston as to the actual re- suits of three weeks operation of the new tariff law, had the somewhat un- expected result of indicating a con ditiOn of undisturbed serenity as to the present and immediate future

From some of the mills, however, came reports of increased activity and out put without reference to the tariff.

WEST POINT HEAD
 CONDEMNS FOOTBALL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S-C. P. Townsley, superintendent of the West Point military academy thinks football is not worth the damage it does.
 Experience" says Col. Townsley, seem to indicate that football is like ly to produce more lasting injuries than riding or gymnastics. In view of the comparatively small number of cadets who play football, and the very high percentage of days lost in the hospital from football injuries to days lost in the hospital from all other causes during the football season, 46 per cent, almost one half I regard it as questionable whether the value re- ceived from football justified the re- sultant injuries"
