COMMITTEE RULES
AGAINST ROUGHNESS
Football Code Legislation
Tends to Fully Debrutalize
Gridiron Game.

Broad steps to eliminate football
roughness, already relegated to a
dark age, taken yesterday by the foot
ball rules committee in drastic legis-
latiOn, are expected to put the game
on an unassailable basis for future
years.
Unless some new wrinkle like Fos-
ter Sanford's multiple kick crops up,
the code is expected to stand on its
merits for many years.
Forward Pass Up.
The forward pass comes in for
more legislation.
Hereafter, any illegal interference
with the ball during a pass shall be
penalized by giving the bali to the Of
Tended side at the point where the
foul was committed. Heretofore such
passes have been adjudged irSoHi-
plete, and have been sent back TO the
originating point, with the ball In
possession OF the offending side.
In addition to this change, the COM
mittee included a rule which gives
the ball to an offended. side at the
point "farthest back" in case OF two
such fouls. This evidently means at
the point where the pass was started.
In case the pass is started from be
hind h goal line, the ball shall he
given to the offended side on the one
yard line.
Side Line CoachIng.
The committee put the curse on the
recently adopted ruse of sending In
for place-kick use q piece OF baked
clay as an artificial tee, and added
one more Jolt to the "unethicap
practice of coaching from the side
lines.
No artificial tees Of any kind will
be used, the committee ruling that all
attempts at field goals must be from
the hard unbaked turf.
The practice OF making sudden SUBJ
situations and sending instructions
along with the sub was enectually
quashed by inserting a rule that no
substitute shall be allowed to COM
municate with other players until
after the ball has been put in play.
Can Use New Ball.
The old-time rule holding that foot
ball once in play is in play for the life
Of the game was put back with the old
mass formations. the rules committee
declaring that. II the referee deems 1t
necessary he may send a new football
into the game at the end OF the second
periods. Thus. soggy footballs will be
one Of the missing thrills hereafter.
Any player who interferes with kick
er is going to get the full wrath Of the
rules body next fall. In addition TO a
fifteen-yard penalty for his team, he is
liable to disqualification.

LOOMS Is FORCED
TO EQUAL RECORD
Brooke Brewer Causes Judges
to Confer Awhile Before
Giving Decision.

NEW YORK, March 1s.-Aside from
the record-breaking performance of
John Overton in the 1,O0o-yard run
in the national indoor championships,
the second for the Yale man in a
week, was the sensational 6O-yard
performance of LOOMS, who was
forced to equal the worlds record by
Brooke Brewer, of Maryland State.
Loomis regained his title in the 60
yard event, but only after the hard
est kind OF q struggle. Brooke
Brewer, Of the Maryland State COL
lege, was right at his shoulder when
the tape was reached, and II took the
judges q minute to decide whether
the sturdy little Southerner had not
beaten the lankyN Chicago cyclone
Race was Thrilling.
The race was a thrilling one from
the crack of the gun. Loomis shot
ahead and seemed to lead by a yard
in the first ten. Brewer, never fast
one at getting away, lost not little
ground, and by the time the 50-yard
mark had been reached was almost a
ward back. In the last thirty feet,
however, he hurled himself forward
with q phenomenal EFFORT and was
beaten by Loomis barely by inches.
Overton Wins Again.
overton cut out such a hot pace In
the special race that Joie Ray was
beaten by fifteen yards. The record
was smashed by 2-5 seconds. Over
ton ran the quarter in O:67, the half
in 1857 :O2 and the whole distance In
2:14.
Earl Thompson, OF Dartmouth,
equaled the worlds record in the 10
ward high hurdles, making IL In
O:e 2-5. Pat MacDonald's heave OF AZ
feet liz inches is a new champion
ship record with the sixteen-pound
shot

officials who will signal the ball as

toward minimizing injuries from this
rather brutal practice.
John Oyerton's ability to break two
worlds records in a week is nothing
short Of sensational. The Yale star
clicked of a record mile in Philadel-
phia and turned about for a new mark
in New York at a thousand yards last
night. Incidentally, Overton and Joie
Ray will meet Wednesday night in a
mile race that should be a regular
affair.
Not to bring too much track to the

SEATTLE, Friday, March g. Trans-Pacifc trade from this port is to be abandoned by England under stress of war needs, orders having been issued for the comandeering of the Blue Funnel line steamers plying between here and che Orient.

Call Issued For Those In- terested to Meet For

Juneau may have a home guard to consist of men too old to join the army in case of war. The idea was advanced by H. k. Shepard, who is- sued call for all those interested in the proposition to meet at the office of H. R. Shepard and Son on Seward street, Friday night, March ?, at 8 o'clock.
 "The suggestion of a home guard to consist of men too old to go to the front seems to be popular" said Mir. Shepard, who has talked the matter over a good deal today. "The impress sion prevails here as elsewhere that the United States cannot avoid war with Germany, and Americans are anxious to do what they may be able to do to serve their country in the event of crisis that may demand their services"

CUTTER FAILS IN SEARCH FOR
 TWO MINERS
Tragedy Near Yakutat Is Reported by Captain
 Dodge

JUNEAU.-(Special.)-J. G. John son. well known mining man of Vic toria and Seattle, and Jerry McGraw, proSpector of Ketchikan, have been lost in the mountain wilderness of the Yakutat region or else drowned at sea. according to word received here February 2S by George Gilbert, a prominent business man of this city.
 The information was forwarded here by Capt. Dodge, of the coast guard cutter Unalga, which made a search along the coast from Makutat to Makataga point
 Johnson aud McGraw left here early last summer and on August 2S left Yallutat for Icy bay, to prospect at Icy bay, according to information e;ver 10 Capt Dodge They met Geo. Felton and Charles Wittsel, of Yaka- taga. who helped them to make camp Felton and Witsell remained a few days with Johnson and his partner, and warned them not to attempt to cruise during winter in their dory, owing to glacier ice and treacherous waters. This was the last seen of Johnson and McGraw.
 One of the fishing fleet of the New England Fish company called at Icy bay during the early winter, but could not locate the men.
 On January 15 Feton and Wittsell again visited Johnson's camp, but found it had been deserted apparently for a month or more.
 The coast guard cutter Unalga's commander was appealed to for as sistance in the search and on January 2 visited ley bay, cruising along the shore as far as Yakataga point with out result.
 The supposition is that the men thought they could make their way in the dory and were upset or else met with an accident and could not walk out
 Johnson is well known in every port along the Pacific coast. At one time he was an associate of James A. Moore in Seattle. The Johnson family is we'll known in Victoria. McGraw has been a resident of Ketchikan a number of years. He was engaged in the fish business It is believed the men had a tip regarding the location of a promising mining property, as they maintained great secrecy while outftting here last summer.

u. S. SAILORS R0UT REBELS
Americans From Gunboat Eagle Drive
Cubans From AItocedo-Mexi-
cans Aid Insurgents.

Havana, March 19.-United States
sailors from the gunboat Eagle landed
at Altocedo, in Oriente province, and
drove a group of insurgents from the
town. 1t was reported that many
Mexicans were in the group, which
numbered about 300 men. American
marines are believed to have evacuated
the port Of Santiago. They landed
when the rebel forces quit the town.
Since then Cuban government troops
have assumed control.
The presence with Cuban insurgents
of Mexicans caused much surprise and
speculation here. There are Mexican
colonies in some parts of Cuba, but
heretofore no activity of Mexicans,
skilled in revolutionary and destruc-
tive warfare in their own country, has
been reported to government officials
here.
Railroad bridges destroyed by the
rebels between Havana and Camaguay
<have been restored. Passenger and
freight service will be resumed immedi-
ately.
