ALTON B. PARKER
 DIES SUDDENLY
Was Democratic Candidate for
 President in 1904

New York, May II CP}-Alton B. Parker. who rose from the obscurity of a youth spent on a New York state farm to bear the standard Of the democratic party against Theo- dore Roosevelt in tho presidential race in 1904, died yesterday while driving through Central park.
 The former chief judge Of the court of appeals contracted a cold three days ago and had been under a physicians care. He was on his way to his country home in Esopus, N. T.. with his wife and nurse when he was stricken with a heart failure. Death was almost instantaneous.
 The cold from which Judge Park CT was suffering was not in itself serious, but because Of lis "A years it had been thought wise to keep him in his suite in the Ambassador hotel until yesterday
 An examination by Dr. Martin Dc Forrest Smith, the Parker physician. yesterday afternoon indicated that Judge Parker had thrown off his ill., ness and permission was given for the Esopus trip.
 Judge Parker has been in the habit of making frequent trips to Es- opus, to indulge in his enthusiastic interest in horseback riding and motor boating. The Parker country home, is on the west bank of the Hudson at Esopus, a little village just out of Kingston, and there is located a private dock Judge Park CT used for his motor boats.
 On leaving the Ambassador yes terday, warmly wrapped against the chill of late spring, Judge Parker di- rected the chauffeur to drive through Central park. He seemed in good health as the journey began, chat ting consistently between his wife. Mrs. Amy Campbell Parker. (Judge Parker's second wife whom he mar ried in 1923) and his nurse.
 As the automobile neared the res eryoir in the park, however, Judge Parker gasped suddenly, started up- right and fell at his conpanion's feet. The chauffeur was ordered 10 turn the car and race back to the Ambassador, and the women drew the limp form back onto the seat between them.
 Whether life still remained. the women were unable to tell, but when pr. Smith met them at the hotel he immediately saw the end had come He gave the cause of death as heart attack and announced il was something which medical science could not have foreseen.
 Judge Parker is survived by his wife, daughter. Mrs. Charles Mer- cer Hall, wife of a Bridgeport, Conn, clergyman, and two grand children. Mrs. Hall is the daugh- ter of Judge Parker and his first wife. Mary Louise Schoonmaker Parker, whom he married in 1873 and who died in 1917.

Special attention TO foreign trade. and
many new developments in the use
Of trucks and busses. are among the
chief tendencies Of the year noted
in this statistical review.
Motor vehicle exports now consti-
tutc the third largest Of IT, s. ship
ments abroad. Foreign sales in the
automobile business las, year were
80 per cent larger than the preceding
year, and were II per cent Of the last
years total productions.
Motor Bus and Truck Activities
Among the activities in the truck
and bus field il is noted that there
arc $4,000 miles Of bus routes opera
ted by electric railway companies.
Thirty-one steam railroads are using
motor bus equipment. In addi-
ton to this there is large amount
of bus operation by Independent com
panes. In eight states where analysis
of the figures has been made by the
L. s. Bureau Of Public Roads 81 per
cent Of the bus routes are neither
directly nor indirectly competitive
with the railroads.
Saving in the cost Of distribution
by use of motor truck transport is
evidenced by many railroads in the
adoption Of these units for short
haul and less than carload operations.
In most eases the railroads contract
with private shipping concerns for
this service. Thirty-seven railroads
are using trucks for movement Of
goods at terminals. Ten are using
motor transport TO replace local
freight trains. Ten are adopting mo-
tor trucks in order to give the ship
per door door service. Monthly
savings through use of motor trucks
are reported in various operations
by the Lehigh Valley ranging from
1891 10 S2.429 in different types Of
service.

Taxes paid By the motor vollcle
totaled SG67 900 600 in 1925. This was
close to the total of taxation required
for the entire highway bill Of the
Nation. This bill amounted to APP

''B00TLEGGING"
OF INSURANCE
is DISCOVERED
Palmetto Company, in Appli-
cation. Says Ii Did Bust.
ness Here in 1925

For the first time in North Dakota S
history a ease involving the "bootleg-
ging" of insurance has come to the
attention Of its commissioners.
The term was applied by Insurance
Commissioner S. A. Olsncss to the
operations of the Palmetto Insurance
company. which. it has been found,
sold insurance in the state last year
without a license.
The Palmetto company. which has
been in the courts recently in connec-
ton with It's arrangement with an
automobile manufacturing company
whereby it insurcs for one year all
automobiles made by it. has applied
for license to do business in North
Dakota. In the application it states
shat it did $4,000 worth of business
in the state last year. Olsncss
indicated that he intends
to grant tn" anplic'tion hut that he
also will bill the Palmetto company
for $50, the state tax due on the
business done by it in the state last
year.
The application. it is believed. is
the result Of Olsness' refusal of the
company's automobile insurance plan.
bitterly opposed By resident agents Of
other insurance companies.
When the application is granted the
company will be permitted to do bust
ness in the state on the same basis as
other insurance companies. 1t also
will be compelled to pay the fee of
two and one-half per cent of all
premiums collected. charged by the
state to all foreign insurance COM
panies doing business in the state.

Hurdling feet first is banned in
foot ball. Hurdling head first Is
not. The first hurdle play was
most spectacular. Weeks, Colum-
bias great halfback, in a game
against Penn at Polo Grounds in
1901, leaped over both lines Of
scrimmage at midfield, lodged the
safety man and scored. He dupli.
Gated the feat later in the game.
To make this amazing leap Weeks
lined up S yards back Of his line,
was thrown the ball by his quar-
terback, who then got down on his
hands and knees back of the line,
the two other backs standing
slightly to the rear Of the quarter
and on either side Of him.
Weeks ran at full speed, used
the back of the quarter as a take
off and leaped as high as he could.
The other two backs tossed him
into the air as he went up so that
his feet actually cleared the Penn
linemen jumping up to tackle him.
Next season a defense was work
ed out for the play that stopped
Weeks and also Dick Smith, Ore
CONS coach last year, knocking
the latter unconscious.
In 1904 Stevenson, Penn's all
American quarter, defeated Har-
ward, 11-0, by his marvellous hur-
ding in the open field. He thus
eluded tackler after tackler. These
plays proved so dangerous they were
banned. How different Is foot ball
today! The only trace of hurdling
remaining is the head-first dive
over the line for the goal line by
back striving to score when his
course is blocked. All three plays
are nictllred

No game has any right to give an
umpire jurisdiction over the intent OF
a player, whether pitcher or otherwise.
and it has no right to give a player
any result except that which he earns
in actual competition. If the numbers
Of runs should be increased because
added bases could be given on called
balls, there would come times when
the scoring would be farcial. Also,
pitchers of the type that give bases
on balls freely and yet are clever
enough to keep the score down would
be ruined completely. The art of
working the corner would soon be
forgotten and the science of pitching
would be knocked for a row of double
distilled curves.
There are changes in the rules that
might be made to make them less
myStifying to some persons, and yet
it is not possible to make them much
clearer unless they are completely
rewritten.
Rewriting Rules Is Big Job.
The task Of rewriting the rules is
prodigious. The only person who is
known to have rewritten the base
ball rules Is John B. Foster, who did 1t
10 formulate Wnat the base bail
guide" called the "simplif1ed rules Of
base ball" That was a long time
ago. The guide" carried the simpli-
fled rules for many years and then
gave them up when the amendments
were made to the playing rules in
1920, and explanations of the rules
were added to their general publica-
ton in the "guide by Mr.. Foster"
: So thoroughly were the rules re-
vised in 1926 that many things were
accomplished that had been overlook
ed for more than a quarter of a CEN
tury. There was a fairly good clear
ing up Of verbiage and enough split
infinitives were united to have caused
the late Charles A. Dana to turn first
one way and then the other in his
tomb. This was accomplished thanks
to the tip-top manner in which the
clearing Of the rules was handled by
Commissioner Lands.
Careless phrasing of rules has been
their bugaboo. The code was badly
handled in 1920 and the faults We're
quickly in evidence when the rules
were about to go to print, but it was
then too late to get the rules commit
tee to act.
Most arguments in 1926 were over
the resin bag. The resin bag went

what looked like a defeat into a sma:
In 1924 Red Grange and the Illinois
team were making foot ball history
in the West and looked to be cham.
piors until they ran up against Mime
sofa. The latter team licked the I'LL.
nois crew Fl to o. shocking the en-

weighed many pounds to the man.
The Thursday following this defeat
Of Minnesota, Vanderbilt was, called
upon to go against Sewanee, which I
coached. 1t was the climax Of the
season.. The Sewanee Tigers had
made a favorable record, but Wander
bilt was a decided fAvorite. This is
one Of those old.tine rivalry contests
where a spirit Of "do or die" prevails.
If Sewanee could win It meant a
successful season, and SC
the boys went into the fight with a
rare spirit of determination.
Early in the game Sewanee scored
a touchdown through its famous
triple pass, a play about which much
has been written. The goal was
kicked and the score stood to 0 In
our favor. Vanderbilt was heavier
than Sewanee and kept fighting like
demons, pushing the lighter team
back until in the third quarter 1t be-
gan to appear that she would win.
Sewanee, holding the lead well into
the fourth quarter, played a defensive
