The intercollegiate athletic ennference, a body composed of ! representatives of the western colleges and known as the "big nine," In annual sesxlon today adopted a rule barring freshmen from participating In university athletics during the first half of the freshman year. Other rules adopted prevent migrating studenta from entering athletic competitions during the first year after a change from one school to another and permit foot ball players to compete in three preliminary games of the season without using up the entire year of their foot ball career. Ctrllnle and Haskell, two hitherto un clatutitled schools, were raised to the rank of colleges, and In the future students from theso Institutions who have participated for four years In athletics will be barred from all. competition in the colleges controlled by the "big nine." In the past the best athletes from the two Indian schools after graduating have often entered some "f the western colleges and have been eligible to contest in all attiletlo games for four mora years. Prof. Jones of the University of Minne sota asked the conference for. an interpreta tion of the rule which allows a student four years of college athletics, desiring to know what constituted on "Intercollegiate game.'' The queatlon waa asked because Captain Strathern of the Minnesota foot ball team waa debarred last Saturday In Chicago on account of the protest of Northwestern university, which charged that he had In 14U participated in games against Ames and North Dakota. It waa decided that when questions of this kind arise In the future the two colleges concerned shall appeal to the United States commissioner of education to ascertain how the school In question is classified. If tt Is by him ranked aa a normal school the game will not be termed "intercollegiate" and will not be counted against tho players par ticipating. Prof. A. Q. Smith of Iowa was elected chairman of the conference and Prof. 11. J Barton of Illinois secretary. KVEJITi OH TUB Rl'NNINO THACKI Only Tvs Favorites Wis at New Or leansAtlas 1 uaeata Ills Rider.

ALLEGE THREATS AGAINST YOUNG'S LIFE W ansa a Waa Is Rsaeeted Throw Light aa Marder Is Gaarded by New York Detectives. NEW TORK, Nov. 45. A new and Im portant witness whose Identity thus far has been Carefully concealed will be brought forward by the prosecution In the trial of Nan Patterson for the murder of Caesar Toung. according to a story which gained considerable circulation today. Be yond the statement that the witness is a woman, that she Is young and that she was well acquainted with both Caesar Toung and thn woman now on trial, the report was Indefinite. Of ths nature of the dis closure which the witness is expected to make nothing could be learned. That the testimony is considered of great Impor tance by the prosecution, however, seems apparent. According to ths report the woman Is constantly under the guard of detective. The calling of this mysterious woman to the witness chslr Is said to be only one of the many startling features of Asaltant District Attorney Rand's case. Almost of the same Importance to the strength of his chain of evidence are several documents he has obtained possession of since Miss Patterson has been a prisoner in the Tombs. It Is claimed since the arrest of the young woman that the prosecutor had secured possesion of letters which, It Is al leged, show that the defendant made threats against the life of Toung, but the documents which. It Is said, will bs pro duced aa a complete surprise are of a dif ferent character. Miss Patterson's father, who called at the Tombs during the forenoon, said that his daughter's mall every day contains several offers of marriage. "These," he said, "are mostly from farmers, who have read of the case In the papers, tfnd with the morbid Interest which Is so common, think that she Is the affinity chosen for them." He then produced a letter from a man who, he said, was employed by the Board of Health In Washington: "This letter affects me more than you can believe," he said. "This man and myself have been enemies for years and have never spoken, but he writes me now that my daughter and myself are In trouble he wishes to forget the past, and offers to help me In any way In his power."

LONDON, Nov. 25. The report of the commlttei of Inquiry In the case of Adolph Beck, who for the crimes of William Thomas, alias John Smith, served a term of five years' Imprisonment In England on the charge of obtaining money and jewels from women under false pretenses, places practically the entire blame for the mis carriage of justice upon the judge, Sir Forest Fulton, who excluded from Beck's trial in 1896 all evidence favorable to the accused and who refused to state a case for the consideration of a higher court. The report exonerates the police and other officials from all charges of con spiracy, but finds that the action of the home office in dealing with the case was defective, owing to luck of legal knowledge) on the part of subordinates. The committee remarks that It is an ex traordinary fact that In the trial of 1904 the Innocent man, Beck, waa convicted through the ignorance of the police and public prosecutor of the material fact known to the home office and the prison authorities that Beck and Smith were not the same person, as alleged by the prose cution, and points out ths necessity for bringing ths different public authorities concerned into such co-ordination as to make the Information acquired by one available to all.
