in taxicab. Everybody inSthc house
was still abed. SO were all the fashion
able neighbors. When Herman Roesner,
grandfather Of Mrs. Minchew, opened the
door in response to his summons Mnchew
pushed the startled old man violently into
a corner and rushed up the stairs to the
second floor.
Before anyone else was aware of his
presence he had snatched his little daugh-
ter from her crib with one hand, grabbed
up her clothes with the other, and was
out and away.
Grandpa Roesner, in nightgown and
slippers, followed him into the street,
shouting for help, but ne might as well
have been shouting at the moon.
Minchew got as far as Colorado Springs
-seventy-fve miles South of Denver
with the child. There he was arrested and
brought back 10 Denver. The courts de-
cided he could not be held for kidnapping
because the child was his own, but de-
tendency action instituted in the juve-
nile court resulted in the little one being
given into the temporary custody of her
great-grandparents- Minchew went
back TO Texas empty-handed.
Shortly thereafter Mrs. Minchew No 2
sued for divorce. On December &, 1924,
she was granted a decree, but the follow
ing day Minchew's attorneys went into
court and had it set aside on the plea that
his wife had taken advantage of his alb
scnce from the city. Three days later the
case was heard again, and again Mrs.
Mnchew was awarded a decree. Custody
Of the little daughter was divided between
the couple.
Early in 1925 Mrs Minchew No. was

By way Of keeping the pot boiling, Mrs.
Martha Murke, mother of Mrs. Minchew
No. 2, filed suit in the Denver district
court against Minchew on May 81, 1925,
demanding $28,500. As grounds for the
action, Mrs Murke charged that Min
chew conspired with Mrs. Minchew No. l

in the filing of the alienation suit against
Mrs. Minchew No. 2, and tried to extortI
a large sum of money from her (Mrs.
Murke) in consideration of having the
alienation suit withdrawn.
The next chapter in the much-muddled
affair of Mr. Minchew was written at Dali
las, September 30. 1925, when Minchew,
in the course of an alleged attempt to
steal his little daughter from the Smith
home, engaged in pistol duel with Smith.
Neither Minchew or Smith was hit, but
stray bullet from Minchew's weapon
struck Mrs. Modem Taylor, a neighbor OF
the Smiths, and for that Minchew must
stand trial on a charge of assault to kill.
Denver police have been unable to con-
meet Mnchew with the latest plot to kid
nap Carmen Phyllis Minchew, although
Tommy O'Grady, an ex-convict, confessed
leader in the affair, came here from Dali I
las and admits, police say, that he is aci
quainted with Minchew
The plot had all the elements of a moviel
thriller. O'Grady rented an apartment
two doors removed from the Murke home,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and the child
were visiting. After equipping himself
with a coil of stout rope and vial of
acid, he went in quest of accomplices to
help him carry out his designs.
In front of a downtown employment
agency he picked up an acquaintance with
a trio of youths who were out of work
and offered them employment as members
of an Oil-well drilling crew he said he was
recruiting. To one of them, Earl Miller.
he divulged his real intentions, which, ac-
cording to Miller's subsequent confession,
including the robbery of the Smiths, their
Disagreement with acid and the KIDNAPPING
Of the baby.
Miller said promise of SIS 1000 as his
reward caused him to agree to help, but
twenty-fOur hours before the time set for
action he developed a case of cold feet
and revealed the real state of affairs to
the other two lads. They informed the
police, who raided the apartment and
jailed O'Grady and Miller.
0Grady, while admitting intent to kid
nap the child, denied he had planned TO
injure her mother and stepfather.

But the trained Roman soldiers had no
great difficulty in protecting themselves,
building first the stone ramparts, which
originally enclosed a space of but 387
yards by 351. This area they divided into
eleven streets running East and West, and
as many running North and South. The

The costly Numidian marble was near

supreme achievement.

its position became assured, and the fame
of the Third Legion drew other retired
veterans to settle there.
Many artists from all parts of the world
had formed the Third Legion, and they
put forth all their varied talents to make
this new home a worthy child of the
imperial city. Lucius Munatus Gallus had
been their commander, and the wise plan
ming of the city, as well as its artistic
construction, owed much to his great
leadership. He made it, as it has been
termed, "Sewel of architecture" inn

More and more are we learning, as the

sites, that the empire of Rome was wider
than had been suspected, and that the foot
of the Roman was planted solidly wher-

some have heard of the great city
of Carthage, on the African shores of the
Mediterranean Sea.
Few, however, save a scholar here and
there. realize that in what is now known
as Algeria, Rome founded no less than
four great cities, which have only of late
years been brought back to view through
the power of the excavator's spade. They
are Timgad, Dougga, Zaghouan and
Jenila.
A few travellers had seen the remains
of Timgad, but the desert sands had so
swept over the other cities that it seemed
hardly worth while for the sightseer to
go inland When, however, Count de
Prorok began his work of exploration at
Carthage, he determined to go deeper into
the desert and find what remained of
other great Roman settlements, and with
most interesting and valuable results. We
are beginning to see now the deep policy
of Rome in establishing these cities, large

The classical writer's told little of any

way in which Rome spread her influence
through the cities founded across the
Mediterranean as the result of the new
finds.
1t was in the opening years Of the sec
ond Christian century that the Emperor
Trajan granted the time-expired veterans
of the famous Third Augustan Legion

activity and at the same time
kept too busy to make any
trouble for the home govern
ment.
Thus a double purpose was
served by the opening of these
new settlements, which soon be-
came great centres of architec-
tural beauty, adorned with some
of the finest statuary of that
period. They fourished and
spread just so long as Rome stood
solidly upon her seven hills, but
when the Vandals overran Rome,
they made their way to Africa
also, and, taking possession of
the four great cities, preserved
them entire for many years. But
the Vandal government lacked
the power Of Imperial Rome and
soon, one after the other, these
cities fell before the attacks of
the BeTbers, hrSt, ana OF the
Byzantines afterward.
According to the records, Tim
CAD was so highly priced by Van
dals and Berbers alike that they
formed an alliance to guard it
against the Turkish foe, and only
in the sixth century did the
enemy succeed in driving them
out and destroying the city with
flame and violence.
Even after the barbarians had
done their worst, much of the
original grandeur in buildings
and statues remained, and this it
is that is being revivihed for the
eyes of the twentieth century
through the latest discoveries.
The glory that once was Rome
is being proved more clearly day
by day as the explorers bring to
view more and more of the
newly-discovered ruins of four
cities of Imperial Rome scattered
across northern Africa.

Slight Changes In
FOOTBALL RULINGS
Shifting and Huddhng Only
Matters Discussed by Coaches

New York, Dec. 81 R@Intercol-
legiate football emerged almost in
tact today from critical examina-
ton of four days by officials, coaches,
and idealists from all parts Of the
country.
Slight changes to check the shift
ing and budding of some teams
have been favored. but the general
tone of the meetings has been one
of satisfaction with the game as
reaching the highest level in grid
iron history.
Summing up the situation, Ed
ward X. Hall, chairman of the ma
tional football rules committee. told
the National Collegiate A. A. that
the 1926 campaign brought forth
better line plunging, better end
running, more diversified strategy
and generally better and more sue
cuessful carrying OF the ball than in
any season before" No radical
changes in the rules are considered
necessary, he said.
Defending overhead football as re-
sponsible for this condition, he
maintained that the FIVE yard incom-
plete forward pass penalty has had
Il wholesome influence in checking tc
some extent. at least, excessive use
of the pass" He noted the fact that
smaller colleges held their own in
matches with teams of larger insti-
tutions and expressed the belief that
the game as it now stands presents
an almost unlimited opportunity for
strategy"
Suggestions for several reforms
came out Of the n. c. A. A. meet
ing, some Of which had been previ-
ously approved by coaches and Of
ficials. Outstanding among them was
a recommendation to its member
colleges that preseason practice be
limited to period Of three weeks
prior to the opening game. Repre-
scntativeS of Brown and New York
University voted against the plan.
