Blackie had struck town last week In
the persons OF NJ. T. Russell, who says
he was captain In the Canadian

for putting Deming ON the air route

express from coast 10 coast They
wanted POO bucks right now and when
they didn't get il they were quite
wrathy and left Deming with its

weeds growing all over II.
The board Of directors Of the Cham

local agent of the department OF jus
tice. listened syinpathetically TO theil
marvellous story up to the point wher,
real money was involved, when they
ordered the Jules Verne tour down {,

was to get beyond some possible

since the pair did not present creden

The promoters Of the beautiful idei
submitted that Lordsburg had paid th'
money for having their metropolis

The directors were then sure that the!

The question naturally arises as 4

SEA WAR TRANSFERRED
TO TIE SEA SHORE

Following up his first attack on the
navy department heads, Admiral Sims
late last Week made public some
startling disclosures on the conduct of
naval operations during the war Be
fore a senate subcommittee invcstigat-
ing the awards of naval decorations, he
read a letter addressed to Secretary
Daniels bitterly dcuouncing the policy
of the navy department ns regards its
relation to the conduct of the war ia
European waters.
He made the statement that some
one high in the councils of the depart
ment gave the following instructions
Don't let the British pull the wool
over your eyes. Ii is none Of our
business pulling their chcsmuts out Of
the fire. We would as soon fight the
British as the Germans With this
statement in view Admiral Sims will
get a better hearing for his charges OF
lack 0f consideration ana cooperation
during the most critical period Of the
submarine warfare Congress will, II
is annuonccd, make a complete inquiry
into the activities OF the navy depart
meut during the war. Admiral sims
doesn't mincc words in pointing oul
the many ways in which he alleges the
department failed to prepare the fleet
and to permit It's commanders to adopl
measures to defeat the enemy.
Secretary Daniels replied to the
charges in a joking way. but does moi
minimize the seriousness of his posi-
tion i'm relation 10 the commander-m
chief NJ sea. The admiral may be dis
ciplincd for his outspokcn criticism.

Slight Change In Kicking : Goal After Touchdown
 Suggests Trying New
 Rule
By A,,ooiat.d Pros.

New York, March 1S,-The football rules committee. after two lengthy ses- sicns, finished it's meeting here today without adopting any radical changes in tlie rules governing the gridiron.
 One feature of some importance was the abolition of the punt-out following a touchdown. Under the Lew rule, after a touchdown is made, regardless of where 1t is, maybe on the goal line, the ball shall be brought out of it and attempt at goal Kicked made from any point in front of the goal posts that the kicker may select.
 \ The objection to a goal kicked from a scrimn1age formation after touchdo"n was that the defending side would hkve eleven men on the line of scrimmage against q lesser number on the attacking side
 After discussing the proposition to subs s;itute 40 plays instead of time limit for a quarter or, period it was thought that the change was too radical to attempt without first being tried as an experi- ment It was suggested that some of the larger college teams should adopt this method of play during one or more early season games next fall and the maccr be brought up again for discussion at
