that the ordinary courts' were so burdened

a line , of argument to show that Mr.

Mr. Dolllver referred to the fact that he
had been charged with a tendency towards

to Be Amended to Death
r Dropped.
WASHINGTON.' Marrh l.-That the rail
road rate bill will bo passed by the senate
practically as it came from the house Is
an admission that the opponents of the
measure are almost ready to make. It
was admitted today that they cannot hOe
for any assistance' from the president In
getting an amendment for judicial review
of orders in the Interstate Commerce com
mission. The president made this clear to
Senators Crane and Spooner today. The
only hope left to. the opponents of the
measure is in the, democrats. They have
not definitely determined what the party
position . will be-toward such an amend
ment, but It Is admitted that more than
half of the minority favor passing the
bill exactly as It , came from the house.
The railroad rate bill for several days
had been regarded na the one measure
standing In the way of ariearly adjourn
ment of congress. T
Will Kill Other Bills.
One of the leading republican senators,
a member of th steering committee, de
clared todny thar "The Philippine tariff
bill, the statehood "hilt and the Banto Do
mingo treaty are all dead." ,
He qualified his statement concerning the
statehood bill by- saylhg that he meant
that the friends of the bill couia not pass
It without the-- Foraker amendment pro
viding for the submission to the votes of
the people of New Mexico and Arlsona
separately the .question whether they
would have Joint statehood. A poll of the
scnute today showed that if voted upon
now th Foraker -amendment would win,
48 to 40. providing the entire vote of the
senate was cast. .
A vote on the Philippine tariff bill In
commute. Is scheduled for tomorrow. A
hasty poll of the senate taken today in
dicates that If brought to a vote the
Philippine tariff bill will be defeated by
a much larger vote than was found for
the Foraker amendment to the statehood
bill. In the event the bill Is defeated In
the committee, the opponents have ex
pressed the intention, of making a motion
In the senate to have the committee dis
charged from further consideration of the
menwure and thus finally dispose of It by
a test Vote to such a motion.
Santo Doming). Treaty Dead.
Practically all. of itu? senate loaders con
cede that the Santo Domingo treaty will
be defeated If brought to a vote and tho
plan generally favpred is to defeat the
treaty as early as poanlble and thus avoid
continued discussion of it.
I'nder this generat program outlined by
senate republican landers a great amount
of expected oratory., will be eliminated.
These leaders say freely that congress will
djotirn early and May.l has been named
as the latest pio)aJde date.

DOANE COU.KOE. CRETE. Neb.. Feb.
JT. To the Editor of The Bee: A boy
killed! What shall be done with toot ball?
This was the startling situation that faced
Poane college In iros. After a successful
career of six years, during which a college
with about seventy boys had on two oc
casions besten the mighty University of
Nebraska, and during one year waa the
unquestioned champions of Nebraska and
Iowa, and during which period but(a very
few accidents liad occurred, although the
college had no coach, no athletic trainer,
no board of control and no regulations
about foot bull except those devised by
the boys, the catastrophe referred to oc
curred. The boy waa killed In a contest
between Doano and a large western uni
versity. He had been hurt before, was ad
vised by a doctor not to play and unsuc
cessfully urged by the captain of the team
not to play. But he waa a boy of great
spirit, one who In a war would have placed
his country's flag upon the top of the
enemy's ramparts, even if he sacrificed his
own life.
It was hard not to prohibit foot ball under
these dreadful circumstances, but no direct
faculty action was taken, aa It was re
membered that a Doane boy had lost his
life In the Blue river while out skating and
as It waa known that serious and even fatal
accidents had occurred in other sports.
Those who were with the poor boy when
he died had no further desire to play and
they were advised not to do so. Thus the
game was not played at Doane for two or
three years. Then came a call for the re
establishment of the sport from students
In attendance and from alumni, some of
whom were ministers of the gospel aud
righting sin as they had, in a sense but
not literally, fought on the gridiron.
Faculty action was taken and rules were
devised, provisions for a board of control,
Insisting on a passing grade in scholarship,
limiting games to one a week, requiring
minors to present written permission of
parents or guardians, requiring that play
ers should be examined by a medical ex
aminer and culling for the securing of a
trainer.
Foot ball was then played again and
Doane commenced the second part of its
career by being beaten by a high school.
The trainer secured was a coach selected
by the boys and hired by the boys, tho
coach differing from year to year. Some
coaches were guod, some were bad, as has
been the experience elsewhere. Then Doane,
with Its old-time spunk, lined up against a
big university. Recent revelations tell the
story of what kind of a team the boys had
to meet. Doane was beaten and the players
said after the game that they were slugged
unmercifully and that was true. Doane
then was advised to let the universities
alone and to form an Inter-colleglate foot
ball league among the colleges of Nebraska,
and this was done with results that have
been published in the papers. In brief,
Doane Is the champion of the league and
has been for two years.
Two years ago two more Important steps
were taken, aa It was found that some per
sons, often objectionable in character, came
to Doane solely to play foot ball. The fac
ulty passed the regulation that all students
who expected to play foot ball In Inter
collegiate contests must take ten hours per
week ef work In regular accredited studies.
Thla jptut out the ' "professionals" success
fuly. As the hired coach was an uncertain
quantity, an athletic instructor was se
cured, who had a regular position on the
faculty and Is known as "physical director
for men." No accidents of any account
have happened to Doane players since the
re-establishment of foot ball In 1881. , Tha
last Important move in foot ball matters
waa taken when the "physical director"
was made financial manager ef all teams
and provided with student assistants. There
Is no agitation at Doane to abolish foot ball,
no further faculty action Is ever thought of
to modify the game.
Doane is awaiting the action of the foot
ball committee, which meets next Saturday,
March 3, iu New York. It hopes that the
new rules will secure more open and fairer
play and It will adopt them at once. If foot
ball is rough, life is rougher. Look at the
daily papers. It some accident occur to
youth, hundreds of serious accidents (falls,
deaths from runaways, deaths from assault,
etc.) are avoided by the players after they
become adults. Athletes, when adults, sel
dom die when running for trains, they
know how to run. Foot ball tactics have
been used successfully in stayiug mobs. In
catching thieves. In defending human life.
Athletic sports are Indispensable in Amer
ica, if we expect to be able to mobilize an
effective army In a short time. What helped
win the revolution, the civil war, the war
against-. Spain? A band of rolunteera,
trained by sports, rowing, jumping, horse
back riding, rifle contests, base ball and
foot ball, Further on fighting, aye, killing,
has been going on since Cain killed Abel,
and aa'we are descended from the Romans,
the French, the Germans and the English,
whose histories are but pages of conlicts,
we must allow our boys to have a proper
event for the battle-loving spirit within
them. WILLI AM EVERETT JILLSON.
