Proposes to Hare Only Men in Colle

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. . . .

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.

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. If he
decides to make a trip, which he has out
lined, to other continents.
He Is thinking of going to England to
compete In the events which will be open
there, and from England will .travel to
South Africa, where he Is anxious to make
a match wlth( "Reggie" Walker. 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. A series of In
ternational rauts of this character would
be one of th most interesting chapters of
events of Its kind that hav taken place

PIERRB. ft. D.. Jan. 13.-(Speclal Tele

resolution, which. If enactod. will help
set tie a question which haa been veln

which came to this state by suit against
the state of North Carolina on railroad
bonds which were donated to the state by
New .York men for the purpose of estab

bunds they held.
The money ha laid in the treasury ever
since It waa received, no evasion being w ill
ing to appropriate It to any special fund,
and one effort to return the money to
North Carolina waa defeated. The Curtis
resolution seeks to place the money In the
general fund of the state and be done with
it once and for all time.

Man Who Mistrusted
Banks Probably
Murdered for Money
Large Sam Misting from Home of
Huron Man Whote Body Wm
Found in Burning Houie.
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.

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

alder and finally to determine the question

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.

riers, largely In response to argument
preaented by attorney for shipping Inter
est were submitted today to th commis
sion. Th burden of th atatement was
that th carrier had shown, through an
Increase of operating expanses, the neces
sity for Increased tncom. which. In the
clrcumstsnces could be obtained through
