IN LUTE WITH MANY OTHERS Tale, Harvard aad Prlacetoa Already Have Ike Rale la Verar, Barring Mea from Professional Departmeats. At last the University of Pennsylvania Is brought face to face with a problem which haa been before It for a long time. Dr. Carl Williams, a foot ball authority at the university and one who haa frequently been chosen to represent It In foot ball councils, has offered a resolution that none hut students of the college department shall be eligible to the foot ball team. In the past Pennsylvania has permitted men from the medical, veterinary, dental, law and graduate department to re pre. Bent the university on the foot ball field. This haa been on of the principal re sons why the red and blue lost Ita games with Harvard, Tata and Princeton, where the rules have been much mora stringent In recent years. . To secure g gam with one of those In stitutions It has evidently dawned upon some of th Pennsylvania men that they must make their eligibility rules corre spond with those of the other large eastern universities.! It Is true that at the start It may seem a hardship, yet there la no reason why Pennsylvania, with It large student list, should not be able to put a good foot ball eleven In the field from Its college, as other universities do. Were a foot ball eleven to be aanctloned at Harvard from the university and not from the college alone there would be a tremendoua field of eligible men afforded to the crimson. Harvard haa got sway from that. 80 have Yale and Princeton. If Pennsylvania comes Into line and takes similar, action the way will be paved to open negotiations with some success for more foot ball games for the red and blue In the east. Making no light of the players person ally, Pennsylvania often has been Joked because some of Its foot ball men were representatives of the dental school, and some representatives of the veterinary de partmnt. It Is not denied that both department are 1n their way a capital adjunct to the university, but It has been too liberal In Its latitude as to who should represent the college colora on the field. Special departments of universities are under faculty Jurisdiction, but It has been a foot ball tradition that It Is a "college" game, in spite of the fact that some years ago there was a little too much laxity In the enforcement of a atrlct college atmos phere. . . . ( haagea In the Hlshlaadera. Mitchell. Foster and Hughe go to the Rochester club from the Highlanders, and Channell.and Priest to Indianapolis. Rochester certainly gains, for with the addition of some players some of the gaps which were opened In the playing strength of the Eastern league champions by th transfer of players and the draft will bo well filled. If Channell's leg la thoroughly mended he should be a capital outfielder for Indi anapolis, and Priest is an Inflelder who can stand a little seasoning In a minor league before he- is brought into th big ring. The Highlanders do not seem to have lost In strength, for they have fortified the position which those players would ordi narily help to fill. . Foster is a fair Inflelder, but not a steady batter, and seems to fall off a bit In hot weather. Mitchell was a little alow behind the bat, and Hughea, while he pitched ex cellent at times, did not seem to have the Stamina necessary for a hard fought game. Channel) did so well during the brief period with which he played for the High landers that he finally seemed to have out grown ' his minor league clothes, but he. too, is something of a problem in view of that bed frocfire which he received tn one leg sliding to bases last year. I'artmrll May Make a Trip. Athletes will follow with much Interest the work of Cartmell, the admirable run ner who was once of Pennsylvania.

There Is no doubt that a huge crowd would turn out in the Transvaal to( see Cartmell and Walker In a race. From South Africa It is Cartmell' In tention to go to Australia and compete against Cliorlee E. Holway, the New Eng land runner, who holds, the sprint cham pionship In the Antipodes.

Hf RON. 8. D Jan. ll.-Coroner Walsh is persistent In hi effort to scertaln the cause of the death of David Mitchell, which occurred some daya sine. Mr. Mitchell wss a widower and tired alone tn a cottage a short distance from the city. Smoke was seen coming from a window, and when neighbors entered the house the body of Mr. Mitchell was discov ered In a room where fire ha4 burned through the floor and charred the body almost beyond recognition. Most of the clothing was burned off and articles In the room were more or less burned. A coroner' Jury made Investigation and returned a verdict that death resulted from suffocation, the belief then prevailing that Mr. Mitchell, while smoking, bad fallen asleep and fir from his pipe had Ignited the bed e othlng a-d Mi iwi apparel. It was known that .the dead man had a considerable amount ef money, and a search resulted In discovering something Ilk rot. Relative and friends of the dead man are not satisfied that this Is all the money he possessed, some declaring that he had between 12.000 and 13,000. Of the amounts found all was in different pair of overalls on contained $S, mostly In silver; another 135 In currency, WOO In currency the latter sum wss In a pair of overalls that apparently had not been used for many months, and when picked up were about tol be thrown from the house. In a cigar box was found $300 In gold coins. Mr. Mitchell was not friendly toward banks and therefore took care of Ms own money, and it Is positively asserted that he had not. lesa than $1,000 in his home and about his person at the time he wa last een alive. At flrat the fire was up posed to be confined alone to the room In which th body wa discovered, but later, tn another room, was found sacks of grsln so charred that when an attempt was made to remove them the sacka burst. Coroner Walsh I determined to continue the Investigation until something more positive as to the manner of Mr. Mitchell' death Is discovered, and If there wa foul play he hopes to ascertain the entire fact.

Railroads Suspend Rate Advances Till Fifteenth of March Carriers Take Action Voluntarily in Order 'to Afford Commission Additional Time. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1$. -Official an nouncement was made by Judge Clements, acting chairman, of. the Interstate Com merce commission at th conclusion of the arguments on the eastern rat case Thurs day of the further suspension of the pro posed advances of rates in official classi fication territory from February t until March 15. The suspension was made volun tarily by the carriers In order to afford the commission additional time to discuss and consider the problems presented to It. The likelihood Is that there will be a similar suspension of .the advancca In rates proposed by the carriers In western trunk line territory, official announcement of which will be made at the arguments of that case to be heard next week by the commission, in making the announcement Judge Clements said that It manifestly was Impossible for the commission fully to con alder and finally to determine the question presented In the two rases prior to Feb rusry 1, and. that on suggestion of the com mission, the carriers had consented to sus pend the proposed rates. The probability Is that a decision may be reached about. March 1; a soon a a con clualon la reached, It will be announced. In order that the railroads and the shipping public may adjust themselves to it. or take such other action as they deem desirable.
