morning practice. But when the lines
met and the offensive backs shot through
openings with the bah II looked more
Ike a scrimmage than anything else
this season,
The only change during the routine
ot the morning workout was the inter-

dummy all rugged out the players were
sent into the pin at ful! speed, learning
to bow over the player on the defence
and put him cut of the play. Later
a short tackilng practice brought the

ENOUGH FOR THREE ELEVENS.

LehiRh-CahalI Kicks Well.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Ia, Sept. Is
The opening OF college at Lehigh
brought out enough men to make three
teams. Impetus was added To the days
work by the arrival of Resident Coach
Tom Ready. ii" formed two teams and
put them through n lengthy practice in
formations. The return to college to-day
Of Cahall, the best drop kicker in col
lege ranks last year, was a welcome
event. His drop kicks to-day showed
that no still posses his old time
cunning,
Among tho most likely OF the new
men who reported are Barrett and Adams
of the Allen School, Kenny OF Dean
Academy, Tomlinson Of Aurora, ILL.,, and
Schley OF Mercersburg Academy. Ten
Lchigh l. men were on the field and as
soon AZ Grimbach clears up some soho
lastlc difficulties he will be out. There
seems some likelihood that Desmond, the
Northeast School lad. who shone as an
end last year until he was taken III with
typhoid, will not be with the team this
year.

,CARRANZA OPPOSED
 TO NEUTRAL CAPITAL
Will Not Consent to Withdraw Mexico City or Railroad to Vera Cruz
 From War Arena.

Washington, April 1O-General. Carranza has finally notified the Uni- ted States government through Con- sul Silliman, that he cannot agree to the naturalization of either Mexi- co City or the railroad from the cap ital to Vera Cruz. To both of these suggestions, made by the state de- partment, the Villa-Zapata authori- ties had given their consent
 General Carranza refused to cx- clude Mexico City from the field of operations on the ground that it is an objective point in his military campaign. Military reasons also are given for the refusal to neutralizc the railroads between Vera Cruz and Mexico City.
 Officials here, while disappointed over the failure of the negotiations which had for their object the fur nishing of means of ingress and agrees for foreigners are hopeful that the railroads batween Mexico City and the American border will soon be repaired and accomplish the same purpose At present this line is h#- terrupted by the operations of the Carranza forces under General Ob- regon in the vicinity Of Irapuato.
 A protest against the recent decree issued at Chihuahua, Mexico, provid- ing for the forfeiture of mines upon which taxes are, not paid or upon which development work is suspend- cd beyond fixed date has been lodged with the Villa officials by the stnSs departm ent. The decree, the de- partment holds, would impose undue hardships on American and other for eign owners Of Mexican mining prop erty. z

LAW ON JITNEYS.
Asked By Trolley Company Is Re-
 port.

New Haven, April 10.-The legisla- ture may be asked at this session to make some regulations concerning jitney busses, which have become popular recently in several Connecti- cut cities; if reports from Hartford may be credited. It is said that the matter has been put informally before the Judiciary committee by representa- tives of the Connecticut company and that this committee has a bill on this matter before it.
 It was ascertained yesterday that the judiciary committee had a jitney bill under consideration. Necessarily the bill must be originated by the committee. Just what form the bill will take is not yet certain. It Is known that the railroad side of the case has been presented informally to the committee, either as individ- uals, or collectively. If there is an- other side than that of the trolley companies it must be treated by the committee. If there is a peoples side, 1t will undoubtedly be developed in the discussion in the house and senate when the bill is presented.
