mittee. Tie petition Is one phase of the move
ment for the aoolltlon of mass plays and
had Its Inception at a convention held In
connection with the. bead masters com
mittee In Boston lam summer. A com
mittee was appointed which drew up the
following circular letter:
Th undersigned, head masters of school
In which fool bail In played, take this
method of urging upon your ermmlltee
tho desirability of so modifying the present
titles us to eliminate hs tar as possible,
without nacrlMiing the Kama, the oojertli.n
anie and serious features that exist at the
present time. The objections to these fea
tures have already been publicly made and
we are bringing forward no new propo
sition. We, nowever, ar; In a position to
otserve In detail the effects of the game
on those who piny It, Hnd our experience
with toot ball teams muoe up of bovs
below the college age shows' us. In their
extreme form, tho evil result of the game
as at present played. We lso feci; in
view or the fart that the large majority
of college players ipHrn the game to se
cure their preliminary training on our
school teams, Hnd in view of the conse
quent Importance to college foot bull of
having the game fully developed In the
secondary schools, that our testimony us
to the points in question is at least en
titled to carefui consideration.
We wish to express in the most emphatic
terms ojr Judgment bused on experience
that foot ball as at present played Is too
severe and too dangerous and our belief
that It Is porslble, by modincation of the
rules, to develop a style of foot ball that
will retain the unique and important ad
vantages of the present gamt without its
tmnst serious attendant evils.
We make no gpecltld suggestions, for
you are the most competent ones to de
. clde how the desired result can be secured.
We r.lmply present our testimony and urge
you In the Interest of college and school
athletirs to speedy action for the elimina
tion of the present objectionable and
dangerous features of foot ball.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. . There was a
promise that there. would be no lack of sen
sation during the testimony at today's trial
of Dr. J. C. Alexander of the grave robbing
cases.
A parcel In the possession of detectives
was Introduced as evidence. The parcel
contained two shrouds found by the detect
ives In the basement of the Central college
during one of the visits made to the place
with search warrants.
One of the shrouds was identified by a
woman who did the needlework as one made
for Mrs. Catherine Doehring, whose body
was stolen from the German Catholic cem
etery. Samuel Martin, who was prominently
Identified with Cantrell In the grave-robbing
business, was the first witness today.
He first met Dr. Alexander at the latter's
office last June, he said. He said the doc
tor told him he wanted seventeen to twenty
subjects for dissection and would pay $30
each. ,
Doctor Watches Death Betorns.
Martin said that at this meeting Dr.
Alexander told Rufua Cantrell that be would
watch tho death returns at the Board of
Health and would notify Cantrell. The first
trip, he said, was in July, when with Can
trell and the others he went to the Ander
son cemetery and secured the body of
Glendore Gates and handed It over to the
Central ' college. The next day, Dr. Alex
ander paid him $10.
The next trip was to the Ebenexer grave
yard, when the body of Wallace Johnson
was secured. Dr. Alexander said the sub
ject was not a good one, because U was
mangled by the cars, and Martin received
but So. From the same graveyard he as
sisted In getting the body of Johanna
Stilts, for which Dr. Alexander paid him
$8. In addition to those bodies Martin said
he got a body at the Insane hospital grave
yard, which Dr. Alexander said was a good
subject.
The witness assisted in raising the body
ot Rose Neldllnger at the cemetery near
Traders' Point, early In August. The next
day he saw Dr. Alexander Injecting fluid
into the body. For' this body Dr. Alexander
paid him S10.
Men Fell Away.
Walter Daniels, with yellow - skin and
restless black eyes, followed Martin. He
first met Dr. Alexander in company with
Cantrell In July. He was introduced to
Dr. Alexander by Cantrell as Walter Dan
iels from Chicago, as a man who would
stick.
Daniels said:
Cantrell told him I worked for Thornton
J. Barnes, demonstrator of anatomy at the
Northwestern college In Chicago. Dr. Al
exander said he was glad that someone
would stick, for the boys bad fallen down.
Cantrell said bodies were not worth much
In Chicago and Dr. Alexander said they
were worth but a dollar In New York. He
said he had nothing on hand then, but he
would watch the returns and let us know
when we would be needed.
The following Saturday night we went to
Dr. Alexander's office and he told us there
was a good colored subject in the Anderson
cemetery and he wanted us to go out and
get it. I asked him what my share would
be and he said 13. So we went out and got
the body of Estella Middleton. Alexander
said that It was a good, subject and paid
me the 13. -
Liveryman Case testified that Dr. Alex
ander had paid him $40 for rigs used by
Cantrell. Charles Mediras, a pawnbroker,
said Dr. Alexander had twice taken Can
trell's clothes out of pawn and had paid
him $20.
William Jones said he was taken to Dr.
Alexander's office by Cantrell, where he
made arrangements tq join the ghouls as a
driver. Jones said he took no 'part In the
robbing, merely watched the team on the
different expeditions. On one of the trips
to Anderson he said Dr. Alexander drove
up In his buggy and talked with Cantrell.
Dr. Alexander spoke to all the men. The
witness said he had been paid money twice
by Dr. Alexander and once the doctor sent
him money by Cantrell.
STILL VOTING FOR ADDICKS
Opposition Asks for More ' Time to
Think Abont Going: lato
Caaeai,
DOVER, Del., Feb. 8. The regular re
publicans asked at the Addlcks caucus for
an extension of time until next Monday.
The others reluctantly yielded to the re
quest. The fifteenth ballot for senator resulted:
Long term Irving Handy, democrat, 21;
Louis Hetsler Ball( regular republican, 8;
John Edward Addlcks, union republican, 21;
Anthony HIgglns, regular republican, 1.
A proposition from the democrats to aid
In the election of the two regular or antt
Addlcks republicans is believed by many
to be the enly solution of the muddle cre
ated by the retirement ot Mr. Addlcks.
Former Unit 3d States Senator Kenny, one
of the democratic leaders, has submitted a
proposition to the domocratlc caucus in
volving an offer to the regular republicans
ot the solid support ot the democrsts for
the nominee ot that faction for the long
term In the United States senate. leaving
the short term vacant. The twenty-one
democrats of the legislature are In caucus.
The friends of Colonel H. A. Dupont are
unquestionably controlling the movements
of the regular republicans, and they are
advancing the argument that the with
drawal ot Mr. Addlcks Is merely a trick on
his part to get into the senate by a cir
cuitous route.
It Is understood that the democrats off
ered, to support Congressman L. Helsler
Ball for the long term, allowing the other
senatorshlp to take care ot Itself. This
offer was rejected today, but It may be
taken up and considered later.
The regular conference committee made
a last request ot the union republicans be
fore agreeing to accept the proposition,
"Will you agree to allow us to name one
senator, you taking the other?" The union
republicans replied that they could abide
by nothing but the vote ot a majority ot
the republican caucus.
Both sides agreed finally to allow nego
tiations to remain open, for a few days, as
It was then time to take a ballot for United
States senator.
State Chairman Alee, the Addicks leader,
said after the balloting:
Our offer still stands out of courtesy to
our republican associates. Mr. Addlcks, of
course, is our candidate until another cau
cus Is held. He simply withdrew in the In
terest of harmony, but we refuse to change
from him until there Is a general caucua of
all the republican members.
When Asesmblymen Townsend and Con
nor went into the regular caucus with the
union republican offer. Senator Flynn, the
reguHr republican leader, said:
While we cannot do all you ask, still I
feel that we are close together.

TRADE IS, HOWEVER, VIGOROUSLY ACTIVE
in Gives Eaeoaraslas Krporl of
Coaatry's Business In anile of
Drawbacks Imposed by
Frelaat Congestion.
NEW YORK, Feb. $. R. G. Dun Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trsde tomorrow will say;
Vigorous vitality Is conspicuous in trade
and Industry, despite the handicap of over
strained and lamentsbly Inadequate facili
ties ior iraneponation.
Concentrated efforts to reduce the con
gestion at a few favored points apparently
intensified the blockade elsewhere. Hnd In
clement weather added a new dixt urbiiig
factor to an already complicated situation.
Every possible method Is being adopted to
improve conditions, enormous sums are ap
propriated for extensions, yet accidents and
tosses are frequent.
Foel Famine Is Disastrous.
TransatlFSitlc vessels failed to leave on
schedule time and many manufacturing
plants are closed, in part or wholly, libor
disputes are more numerous, although not
prevalent to any extent in the leading in
dustries.
As the season advances there is notable
activity In building trades with the cus
tomary acceleration c! Inquiry tor mate
rials. Retail dealings in most staples are fully
sustained and wholesale and jobbing trade
is steadily improving, although deliveries
cannot b guaranteed. Foreign commerce
Is keeping pace with domeatlc trade.
Hallway earnings during January were
8.S per cent larger than last year and 17.7
per cent in excess of 1901 . It would have
occasioned no surprise had the cost of liv
ing materially advanced during the mid
winter months, as owing to the restriction
of production In some lines there Were nu
merous factors In evidence calculated to
aggravate the situation. In the fnce of
inflating elements the consumer was pe
culiarly fortunate, as shown 'by Dun's
index number of prices proportioned to
consumption, which was l0,i)20 on Feb
ruary 1, against $100,355 a month previous,
an advance of only one-half of 1 per cent.
Cotton la strong, liberal exports and do
mestic competition more than realising the
heavy increase of port receipts. Coffee
aroused from its lethargy and advanced a
small fraction because the world's stocks
decreased much more than was anticipated.
Iron Trade Altera Little.-
Conditions in the iron and steel Industry
are without essential alteration. Far from
catching up with orders, the leading pro
ducers find 5,500,000 tons of contracts on
hand and statements on a somewhat
smaller scale are made by other lines.
Traffic difficulties Increase, deliveries of
coal are uncertain, and In Chicago coke Is
nominally $10 a ton. while C'unnellnvllle
ovens produce freely, but Pittsburg sup
plies are Inadequate. A large quantity li
enroute and there is growing r.ontldence In
the trade that the worst congestion is over
for this season. Purchasers In some divi
sions of the market still show an inclina
tion to postpone placing of contracts in
expectation of better terms, but the gen
eral level of quotations does not recede.
Numerous contracts are taken abroad, be
cause domestic plantH cannot make ship
ments within the specified time, and one
result of the excessive activity l.ere has
been a decided improvement in the foreign
Industry. This has militated against im
ports, as prices are firmer in European
markets, yet engagementa continue on a
moderate scale.
Plans for railway extension assure much
new business while carriage and Implement
makers are constantly In the market tor
material.
Uttle new business has been placed with
New England shoe factories, although
there la sufficient work on haud to assure
activity until late In March. '
Distinct development is noted In the buy
ing in cotton, buyers finding buying diffi
cult. In woolen goods there, Is steady absorp
tion, with no speculative activity. Specula
tive lines of dress goods are firm and mov
ing briskly. Large consumption of raw ma
terial bv the mills holds wool steady at the
recent advance, despite a somewhat weaker
closing at the London auction sale
Failures In the United States were 263
against 264 last week and 210 the corre
sponding week last year, and In Canada 32
against 30 last week, 27 the preceding week
and 25 last year.
CANKOT STIFLE TRADE BOOM.
Weather Conditions Retard Business,
bat Do Kot Stop It.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Unfavorable weather conditions may re
tard, but they do not arrest trade and in
dustrial develooment. which continue in
exceptionally full volume for this season of
the year. Spring trade, as pointed out here
tofore, is earlier and or larger voiumo tnan
In any previous year, and the remarkable
steadiness of prices is evidence that sta
bility In present conditions Is expected for
some time to come. 1
The current reports from the dry goods
trade are among the most cheerful ever re
corded at this season, of the year. Cotton
goods note exceptional activity and
strength, but other lines ot spring trade
are butty. Iron and steel are active for this
season, lumber production and demand is
brisk and hardware is in heavy demand.
This progress is being made in spite of
some drawbacks, but these very shortcom
ings are evidence mereiy of superabundant
prosperity. For Instance the notice given
earlier in the week by the western rail
roads that they would be forced to refuse
numerous classes of heavy freight, such as
grain, flour, iron, iron ore and lumber, and
that in fact .hey could only take perish
able and quick-moving merchandise, is evi
dence that the railroad facilities, as fre
quently noted before, have not expanded
so quickly or in as great proportion us has
the volume of business offered.
in the Iron and steel trade the fuel situa
tion Is really but little better, owing to the
congestion in car transportation between
the coal regions and consuming points. The
late spell of mild weather has brought
about an improvement In the coal situa
tion. .
Coll weather was responsible for lower
prices for butter and eggs In January and
aome hog products also declined, but
cereals remained steady and textiles nearly
all advanced, aa did several kinds of Iron
and steel, copper, tin and naval stoies, off
setting the lower movement In quotations of
country produce, coal anu coku, peiroieum,
hides and some grades of leather.
OwIiik to the steadiness of the large ma
jority of prices the net movement of prices
as a whole was only slightly downward,
less than per cent decline being noted for
January.
Chief among the staples showing strength
Is raw cotton. While buyers of Iron and
steel evince a tendency to stand off as re
gards distant deliveries. Preswlug neede for
Immediate purposes Induce numerous small
sales, which make up a considerable ag
gregate of crude material.
Finished product,, are as active as here
tofore. Kails, structural materials, wire,
bars, railroad material and even tlnplatea
are in active request, home large orders
for pipes l ave aUo been booked, but a roj I
sized order for steel rails had to be plated
abroad owing to the Inability of domestic
manuiacturers to make good. One concern
reports orders on its books for S.SUO.nuo tons,
the largest future business of which there
Is any record. Structural niaterluls are
rather firm.
An additional feature making for present
iron p-lce is the feeling that iron ore
prices will be advanced this spring. This,
taken in connection with the higher coat of
fuel and advanced freight rates, would
seem to postpone the day when the long
predicted downward revision of prices U
to occur. Large sales (Sti.uoo tonal of oien
hearth steel are reported at Pittsburg,
where structural material, plates and bars
are active. Tlnplatea are stronner and
most of the mills are In operation. Steel
bar manufacturers will adhere to the l.&l
cent rate. A Pittsburg concern building
telephone conduits has secured a $1.5uO,U0(,
contract from the Russian government.
