An appropriation of $4,000 to cover
the work for the coming two years IS
proposed by the committee, this be
ing regarded as sufficient, by Cover
nor Hanna, to conduct the work, mas
much as the audit of the past two
years has brought the departments
down to date.
In the attorney generals office, the
check-up .evealed forgotten check
for $25275, given by the 500 railroad
for right of way, which had been filed

terms was outlawed, but the 500 rail-
road re-issued the check and the sum
was turned into the treasury. The

vealed the fact that many legislative

State of North Dakota is not only en-
titled to, but needs, every cent of rev.
enue from interest in the public
funds, and that the state treasurer
should be the banker of every state Of
fetal, who, in the performance of tn.
duties Of his Office collects fees; and
that each state official should make de-
posits with no one but the state
treasurer and makes these deposits
daily whenever there are funds on
hand for that purpose.
One of the concrete results which
would naturally follow an audit and
check of the character which was had
failed of accomplishment because of
the insufficiency of the appropriation
allowed two years ago by the legisla-
ture. Books and forms for bookkeep-
ing and records of the various state
officers were prepared, but it was
found that the public printing appro-
priation was practically exhausted
when the time for the use of the rec
ords and installation of the bookkeep-
ing arrived. This precluded the posi-
bility of placing these books and rec

officials.
| From the unanimous expression on
the part of the state officials whose
Offices came under the audit and
check of the Temple-Webb Company
that a similar audit and check should
be made every two years, this com
mittee is forced to the conclusions
that it would be very unwise to discon

that large part Of the good ALREADY

already had, would be lost in case O.

desires to express it's appreciation Of

The remarkable showing of Wander bilt. Auburn, Alabama and Georgia Tech Saturday against strong teams show that there will be an exceedingly live fight for the Dixie gridiron cham pionship this year. Of the above four. Vanderbilt showed the greater form both on the open play and straight football.
 For the first time in a number of years, Alabama showed the power to drive, The Sewanee Tigers had a great team, but Alabama has a still greater one. Auburn showed that Donahue was developing the same tactics that made Auburn famous and that the Plains men would again have a team that was chief factor In the fight for southern honors by their victory over Georgia. Georgia Tech continued to show power and must also be considered as still in the fight.
 Probably the greatest surprise of Saturdays results was the victory Of Alabama by a safe margin; and Vandy's overwhelming win over Tennessee. Ala bama was expected to meet defeat again but led by the powerful playing of VandeGraaff, the Crimson colors stood for victory over the Tiger for the first time in IS years. Should Ala bama record a victory over Georgia Tech next Saturday, Kelley's machine must receive strong consideration for the southern honors. Without doubt Alabama has q great team and will be hard to beat.
 However, 1t will not hardly be prob able that Alabama will return a victor or Tech will last much longer. The fight this year will again narrow down to Auburn and Vandy. Last year Vandy was eliminated early and never did appear dangerous. This year 1t Is ex- actly opposite Vandy has the most powerful team in Dixie at the present writing and should the annual game be played with Auburn now, the Commo- dores would in all probability return the winner.
 On next Saturday. vandy takes on the strong Virginia team who has met defeat only once this season. that by Harvard. The Vandy-Auburn scrap is two weeks off and by that time Auburn will have their machine working won derfully, as in past years. Vandy may get crippled in the Virginia game so that they will not be in any condition to meet the Platnsmen, and yet they may not.
 Auburn has an easy opponent next Saturday in Mercer. It will only be a. practice game for Coach Donahue to put the finishing touches on his team for the Vandy game. Vandy Is admitted to have the strongest team represent ing the Gold and White for several years, probably since the season when Hardage led the Commodores to the southern championship. If the Commo- dores get through the Virginia game without any of their warriors put on the hospital list, they will journey to Birmingham on November 13 with a team that will make Auburn fight. twist and squirm to gain the decision. As numerous things can happen in two weeks 1t is impossible to predict the outcome of the Vandy-Auburn tilt. But one thing can be assured the foot

DECLINE. IN COTTON
 MARKET LESSENED
Cost of Finished Goods Con- tinues Upward-Stiff Ad-
 vance Noted Elsewhere

New York. October s1.--The decline in cotton markets has lessened the de- mand for cotton goods for printing and converting and has induced some seo- ond-hand selling which has resulted in lower prices. On the other hand, the course of finished goods prices eon- tinues upward in keeping with the stiff advances noted in gray goods and brown goods few weeks ago This week advances of half cent yard were made In staple ginghams, one cent u yard in fine and fancy cottons and ir- regular and much higher advances in silk and cotton materials. Jobbers have bought liberally and are reordering on goods for spring. The retailers are be- ginning to place more liberal advance orders. Reports from distributing markets are generally of very opti- mistio character concerning present and future sales The mills are very busy but some labor troubles are re- ported both in eastern and southern manufacturing centers. The high range of prices has checked export trade to some extent although ship ments of cotton duck and other mate- ria1s for war purposes continue large.
 Prices are quoted as follows: Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x64, S%c; 64x60c. 2hc; 3SH inch. 64x64s, 4&c; brown sheetings, southern standards, 7Ao and 7hc; denims. 9-ounce. 14hc; tick ings. 12hc; staple ginghams, exc, standard prints, 5A Ao and 5ho; dress ginghams, 8 to 12o

Huntsville High Loses
 To Athens Aggies

Athens, October 31.-(Special. )-The Eighth District Agricultural school won from Huntsville High school yesterday afternoon on the latter's grounds by the score of 6 to 0. The Aggies out classed the High school in every de- partment of the game, the ball being in Huntsville territory In practically the whole game. High school was able to gain only on forward passes. three of which were completed for 15 to 20 yards. The Aggies used straight foot ball, making consistent gains through the line. The playing of s. Johnston for Athens, and Gillem for Huntsville were the features of the game.
 Huntsville made touchdown by hiding out a player in the edge of a crowd of spectators who Hooked on the field during practically every minute of play. This play was protested by the Athens captain and coach as illegal un- der rule 23. section 8. of the official rules. The protest was allowed.

JESS WILLARD OPEN
 FOR PROPOSITIONS Champion In Great Condi- tion-Engagement With
 Circus Is Completed

New Orleans, October 31.--Jess Will lard, worlds heavyweight champion finished his engagement with a 'wild vest show here tonight and stated he intends from now on to give his attention to the pugilistic game Will lard and Tom Jones, his manager, ex- pect to remain in New Orleans several days to consider proposition of local fight promoters for Willard to defend his title against some fighter they may select in this city next March, while the Mardi Gras festivities and horse racing are in full swing.
 A Representative of eastern fight pro- motors also is expected here to nego- tiate with Willard for a championship fight to be held in New Haven Conn, according to reports here. Jones said the only concrete proposition Willard has received was an offer of s32.000 to Willard, win, lose or draw, for fight in the east. The local promoters have not announced the terms of their prop osition.
 My experience with the circus has been both enjoyable and profitable" Willard said. While with the show I have boxed three rounds twice a day and had plenty of outdoor exercise and feel in splendid condition. I weigh about 260 pounds. I intend to go to Los Angeles soon to visit my family, whom I scarcely have seen since my Havana fight. then I will be ready to defend my title against any white fighter that may be produced. Just now it seems that Frank Moran probably has the best claim to match with me, but my opponent will have to be se- , lected later"
 Willard and Jones said they will meet with the local promoters tomor- row to discuss their proposition.

CHANGES |NRU[ES
 OF BASKETBALL Hoffer of Y. M. c. A. Gets First Copy of New Rules.
 Will Improve Game

Physical Director Hoffer of the Young Mems Christian association has the first copy of the new official basketball rules to be received in Birmingham. The local basketball fiends have been trying for the past month to secure copy of the new combined rules, but without success, be- cause of a delay on the part of the pub fishers. U s
 Director Hoffer stated last night that the new rules, which are composite of all of last years rules. were colified and adopted by rules committee represent ing the Young Mems Christian associa- tion, the National Collegiate Athletic as sociation, and the A. A. U. The important changes from the old A. A. U. rules, used almost entirely in the south, and now dis carded, are the following:
 l. A shot for goal permitted with either one or both hands after a dribble. There is no restriction on number of steps or the number of bounces in the dribble.
 2. Tn the dribble, the ball must be re- leased before the pivot foot leaves the floor, and the dribble may be continued legally until the ball comes to rest on one hand or is held simultaneously with both hands, at which time the dribble is at an end and the ball must be passed or the shot for goal attempted.
 3. Another important rule is the one covering personal fouls, four of which will automatically eliminate the offender.
 4. In jumping for the ball on the toss- up. either between the center men or on a "held' ball. the jumpers must keep one hand behind the back and neither jumper may catch the ball until it has been handled by another player.
 5. The old two men on the ball foul'' will only be enforced when the third player charges in and roughly makes personal contact with his opponent. 6. Another change in the rules will be appreciated by all basketball players. On free trial for goal, as soon as the ball hits either the background or the basket, the players may enter the free throw lane.
 2. When the referee has awarded the ball to a player out of bounds, an op- ponent may not touch the ball, as many do, so as to check the play until his team mates have covered their opponents. A foul will be called for this unspoetsman- like action.
 s. When a ball goes out of bounds, the referee awards the ball to the near est opponent of the player who caused it to go out of bounds
 Director Hoffer stated last night that he was very much pleased with the whole trend of the new rules and that the game would undoubtedly be cleaner, faster, and with the emphasis placed upon playing the ball. rather than the man. This years basketball should be the most in- teresting in the history of the game.

RECORD FOR UPSETS IN
 FOOTBALL CONTINUES
Cornell Shows Wonderful Form-Harvard Rallied and Scored Victory Over Penn State-Yale's Showing Pitiful-Eli's Fall Before Strong Open Play Offense of Colgate

New York, October 31.-The last Satur- day. of October furnished new high reGord for ppsets eyer. in this sensa- tional football season of 1915, having crowded into it the defeat of Yale, Penn sylvania, Army, Navy and Penn State iii the east, together with surprises in results and scores in the west. But the upsets were not entirely confined to the defeats of colleges which in past years have been the autocrats of the gridiron. Harvard, defeated week ago by Cornell, rallied in Spartan fashion and won from Penn State in a manner that indicated that the Crimson is not entirely out of the running for eastern gridiron honors.
 Harvard's game against the conquerors of Pennsylvania and other worthy foot ball rivals showed that the Cambridge clan possesses the material for a team likely to give Princeton a terrific battle next Saturday.
 In fact the Princeton scouts who wit messed the game at Cambridge were con- vinced that the Tiger had more to fear from Harvard than from Yale. which will be met week after the game with the Crimson.
 Yale's showing against Colgate was lit- tic short of pitiful. The Yale team was almost helpless before Colgates splendid attack and defense. It was only when the latter combination played the old fashlcn line pIunging and end running game that the Elis were able to present a reasonable strong opposition. When forced to face modern overhead or sp1 p1ead-across-the-ield attack. Yale was absolutely powerless to diagnose the play or check the advance of the ball. Nothing short of 8 football miracle can round the Blue in form which will justify its being given an even change against either Princeton or Harvard.
 There was nothing unexpected or spec tacular about the victory of Princeton and Cornell over Williams and Virginia Polytechnic respectively. The Tigers all though weakened by the absence of sev- eral of their best players, who were oo- ing scout duty at New Haven and Cam bridge, had little difficulty in defeating Williams
 Cornell. by scoring 45 points against Virginia Tech. came within 1 point of Ter record score of the setason. The SC utherners afforded little more than practice for the powerful Ithaca team.
 In sharp contrast to Cornelps victory was the defeat of Pennsylvania by La Tayette. The latter team, already van uuished by Washington and Jefferson and Princeton, took advantage of the Quak- ers' errors of judgment and play and won a deserved, if rather unexpected victory.
 Neither the Army nor Navy showed to advantage both losing by the small mar gin of two or three points. The Villa nova eleven depended almost entirely upon the aerial form of attack to defeat the soldiers. -ss s.
