Rnslncss Of Saving Nothing

Some days ago group of football
coaches got together In a New YORK
hotel with the idea of formulating
suggestions in rule changes to be
presented for the learned considera-
ton Of the Football Rules Committee
The sense, II any Of the meeting was
that the goal from touchdown be
scrapped in favor Of putting the ball
in play on the fifteen yard line for
one down only on whicn the offense
might attempt TO score the lone poin
by kick. run or pass,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1922-03-07

The idea is just 30 per cent sheer
hokum. what quarterback would call
for running play with fifteen yards
to gain on u single down? SO much
for that.
Also, with the ball in scrimmage on
the fifteen-yard line the kicker would.
perforce go eight to ten yards back
for his effort. Since when, therefore.
was a field goal from the twenty-five
yard line worth only one point And
what. may we ask, IL to prevent the
defense from massing nearly all its
men on the line Of scr;mmage against
the seven prescribed by the rules for
the'te in possession of the ball?

Just why the much-abused sport Of
wrestling has been further enibarrass-
ed BY the introduction Of the rolling
fall Is above and beyond our feeble re-
sources As the night watchman oe

POLICE BOARD
 WILLING. TO
 LOWER BUDGET

It has been definitely decided by the police commissioners that in line with the regular policy of the city in cutting down expenses. they will make no promotions nor will they appoint any new patrolmen to the local police force. at their meeting tomorrow night. The members of the commission yesterday asked the Board of Apportionment to cut down the police budget about S15,OO0.
 It is therefore believed that other than routine business, the only other matter that will be taken up wiM be the accepting of the check of $1OO sent to the local Police Sick Benefit Society by Charles Harris, a Norwalk manufacturer. The check was sent in recognition of the courtesy and efficiency of the local traffic squad.

 Rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the slayer aggregated S4,500 today. The latest addition to the fund was $2,5OO offered by the Famous Play ers-Lasl1y Corporation for whom Taylor was a leading director. A local paper had previously offered $1,00O and the Screen Writers Guild a similar sum.
 Los Angeles, Feb. 15-Search for c1ews as to the murderer of William Desmond Taylor went on today with a re-requestioning of William Davis. chauffeur for Mabel Normand scheduled for this morning.
 Sheriff's deputies who cling to the belief that Edward F. Sands. miss ing former secretary-butler to Fay Tor. had nothing to do with the case, were understood to have obtained some information which made it de- sirable to have Davis quizzed again by the district attorney. It was under stood the additional information did not tend to involve Davis-
 The chauffeur previously has cor roborated the statement of Miss Nor mand, who was one of the last to see Taylor alive. that the director accompanied her to her automobile when she left his apartments shortly before he was slain.

Forte Brought From Jail To
 .DefendSuit

Never has a more dapper looking 1 inmate of a jail made an appearance | than did Louis L. Forte, when he was brought to Superior court today to de-
 fend the divorce action of Bessie Lu- care1n Forte, who is asking a decree upon the grounds of intolerab1e cruelty. Forte was dressed in a black suit, high collar, attractive, tie with hair cut, being in every respect of much better appearance than at the time he was entrusted to the care of Sheriff Simeon L. Pease, for a year for his share in an autom obile theft plot. Forte, now a trusty at the jail, had also apparently entirely recovered from wounds received when he was the victim of an unwarranted as sault by a fellow prisoner, several months ago, Forte at the time being cared for at St. Vincent's hospital
 Married August 1. 1918. Bessie Forte, represented by Attorney David ". Price, told the court that they in Watervliet, N Y., where her hus- band was employed on government work, making at one time $60 a week opening of the case and was under cross examination at noon. Forte is represented by Public Defender Robert DeForest.
 Later, while living in Bridgepo ort, Forte asked or demanded his wife to go out into the street in her kimo- na and search for a corkscrew, ac- cording to her testimony. Further she told of beatings he gave her, at one time he kicked her in the breasts when two persons attempted to hold him to prevent him striking her.
 At another time he threw his razor, shaving cup, and other utensils at her, and refused to tell her how his case was proceeding in court, even af- ter she had pawned everything she had of value to obtain lawyers fees
 Ios I@f Cy1,to- %1rr 1f ter he was convicted, but previous to this a quarrel ensued because he showed indications of intending to jump his bond, which the wife thought unfair to the bondsman.
 At another time when she was as- sisting in a boarding house where they lived, that they might get cheap rate, he strode into the kitchen thought her dress was too low. "l told him I thought it was high enough and they couldn't see any thing. but he dragged me out of the kitchen just the same" stated the The couple lived at various times at an address on Davenport street; again at 973 Grand street; and one man streets Twice the police were called. At one time Detective Hol- brook essayed a word of advice, but apparently it didn't take well or have lasting qualities for another battle royal was in the making the night before Forte pleaded guilty and the police were called This case was not pushed in City court because of the sentence being imposed the day following, in Superior criminal court.
 Still other tales of cruelty were told. including the time when she al- legged her husband. who had terri ble temper and used to call her bad names, threw cut glass and chair at her, cut the telephone wires, and threatened to finish his wife and their infant child before he went to jail.
 It is probable that the case will at least consume all of today before Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin in Su- perior court

 Twenty-four hours of calm on the
 Ulster frontier, where forces of the l north and south are facing each other has brought some relief from tension

 Further hope for a Iessening of the tension is based on the fact that the British government has suggested to | both Premier Craig and MT. Collins the appointment of liason officers on each side of the line to keep in con stant touch and calm local irritation. The outcome of htis suggestion is as yet unknown.
 May Resume Evacuation. The difficulty regarding the suspen- | sion of the British evacuation has not been removed. MT. Collins came to | London last night and will see Secre- | tary for Colonies Churchill, and per | haps also the premier, today. It was
 rumored in Dublin yesterday that the | evacuation would be resumed today 1 but confirmation was not obtainabls | early today. Such a step is possible 1 tf the situation is deemed to have
 eased sufficiently.

MEASURED IN CORN, FARM
 LABOR REMAINS HIGH

Lincoln, Neb.. Feb 15-Measured in corn at the present price of that cereal, farm labor in Nebraska to- day Is higher than it was at the peak of wartime prices.
 This fact is pointed out by E. c. Paxton, statistician for the United States Bureau of Markets, 9. recent visitor in Lincoln. MT. Paxton says uhe present average farm wage in this state Is 25O per cent. higher than in 1890; whereas wheat is only 20 per cent. higher, and corn is selling at 20 per cent. less than in 1890.
 Average farm wages in Nebraska today are 37 per cent. lower than in 1920, MT. Paxton says. Still the hired man" is receiving 46 per cent. more than he was paid for the same work in 1913 and 115 per cent. more than in 1893.
 At the present prices of corn in Nebraska" Mir Paxton concluded, ''it takes more of that grain to pay a farm laborer his months wages to- day than it would have taken in any other year for the past 30 years.''
