THOROUGH REFORM NEEDED Committee's Report Condemns Game From Every Standpoint and De clares Rules Committee Caiinot Be Trusted. BOSTON, Jan.' 15. Football has been abolished at Harvard pending a reform In Ihc game that will be acceptable to the board of overseers, according: to an official announcement today from the university. The discontinuance of the game is the re xult of a vote taken last week at a secret meeting of the board of overseers, when it was decided that intercollegiate foot hall at Harvard should not bo permitted until the rules had been so changed and amended as to remove what the overseers regarded as the evils of the present game. Th overseers accepted unanimously the opinions of a special committee that the game as at present played Is essentially bad in every respect; that the method of formation encourages trickery and foul play, and that the result is bad for the morals of the players as well as for the body. The committee declared that. If changes were to be made, no member of the so tfillcd intercollegiate rules committee should have a hand In Jt. the committee believing these persons are "so far com mitted to the present system that they could not agree to such changes as are absolutely necessary to produce a decent, clean, pleasurable contest, instead of the present apology for a rough-and-tumble fight." "Football is a fine game when properly played," the committee says, "but the present method Is thoroughly bad, and ought to be stopped absolutely and finally. -Any university taking this action will later be considered as a benefactor by many players, and by all lovers of health ful, clean sport and fair play." Under the ruling of the overseers, foot ball is now In abeyance at the university until the committee on the regulation of athletic sports has made its report to the board and until the board has accepted the new rules and regulations In every point. Whether the reformed rules can be arranged and accepted in time for the resumption of football next season- is problematical. CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. Jan. 13. B.

Presi dent Charles W. Eliot said tonight In reference to the football situation at Harvard that he would never consent to intercollegiate football being- re sumed at the university until it had been demonstrated in actual play that the objectionable features of the game had been removed. Dr. Eliot said he would not consider a mere experi mental demonstration of any new rule, as proposed by the amalgamated com mittee, sufficient, but he thought a .series of class games during the Spring might serve the purpose to his satis faction. Dr. Eliot expressed his dissatisfac tion with the make-up of the amalga mated committee, as the men who had developed football are not fitted to reform It.

Colonel Lauchhclmer. counsel for Miller, in his argument, said that there had been substantial disagreement between the wit nesses for cither side, and as their state ments would not be denied by Miller, he had decided not to put the accused on the stand.

MADE SPURIOUS GOLD COIN Gang: of Japanese Counterfeiters Is Captured by Secret Service. SEATTLE. Jan. 15. Three Japanese counterfeiters have been placed under ar rest by a secret service officer, and hun dreds of dollars' worth of spurious S3 and 510 gold pieces, with paraphernalia used In their apartments captured. Captain Bell, head of the Northwest division of the secret service, has handled the case, and with the arrest of Knichi Fugimodo. In Port Richmond, Cat, he stated that the last of the gang has been rounded up. Acording to Captain Bell, the case Is unique In the annals of the Pacific Coast. not only from the wide field of their oper ations, but from the fact that the bat tcrlcs and some ot the molds used by the coiners were made In Japan and shipped to this country. Since last June more or less spurious gold coin has been in circulation, and the secret service men have been working on the case.

Dowsing of Pert ADD TO IDAHO'S TERRITORY Rcsurvcy of the Lines Dividing From State of Montana. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash., Jan. 15. Through the efforts of Senator Fred T. Dubois an Item of 530.000 was in serted in the sundry civil bill passed March 3. 1903, providing for a resurvey of the Idaho-Montana boundary, with a view to accurately and for all tint establish ing the line between the two States. There have been previous surveys of this line. but the old line has never been clearly marked, and its location has many times been brought into question. It was known, in a general way, that the line fol lowed the crest of the Bitter kool ana the Rocky Mountains, but such a defini tion Is far from satisfactory, and In the abenc of a well-defined boundary many persons have been In doubt as to whether they were residents of Idaho or ot .Montana. When Senator Dubois secured tne appropriation for marking the statu boundary, ho had no Idea In minu other than the permanent establish ment of th line; he had no Idea that the survey would add 500 square miles to the recognized territory of the State of Idaho: he had no idea tnat tne sur vey would place in Idaho nearly 320.- 030 acres heretofore supposed to be long to Montana: he had no idea that as a result of the resurvey his state would procure nearly 20,000 acres ot school Innds. representing a value of at least 5200.000. But such Is to be the case. The boundary survey Is being- made by Howard B. Carpenter, but has not been completed and cannot be com pleted until further appropriation Is made by Congress. This appropria tion, estimated at 515,003, will un doubtedly be made this session. The General Land Office, In making an estimate of tho cost of surveying the Idaho-Montana boundary, asked for 550.0)0. which was believed to be a liberal amount. It was estimated that the twisting, winding- boundary line, that followed the crest of the Rockies and the Bitter Root Moun tains, would not cover more than 450 miles, and 5100 a mile was considered a fair average price for this rough survey. It has developed, however. that instead or 4.0 miles, this sinuous lint- Is nearer 600 miles In length. Surveyor Carpenter has surveyed 450 miles of tne boundary, has used up all of the available appropriation and, be cause of the shortage of money, has been directed to suspend operations until a further appropriation can be secured. Land Commissioner Richards has sent to Congress an estimate of 515.- 000 for completing this survv. and In a letter to Senator Dubois has called attention to the need of this appro priation anu asKcd tne Senator to elve It his personal attention. When the sundry civil bill Is being framed this Winter. Senator Dubois will see that an Item of 515.003 Is inserted to com plete the boundary survey. He says me neea tor completing the survey. STcat as it was at the outset. Is all the more necessary since tho work so far completed Has demonstrated tho inaccuracy xir previous surveys and renders it very important that the bal ance of the line be accurately marked. u no senator is gratified to know that his state benefits by the -survey, oven though the added lands He most ly wit a in the Bitter Root Forest Re serve. There Is much good land com ing to Idaho as a result of this sur vey, and It needs only the completion of tho survey to transfer this area from Montana to Idaho. Surveyor Carpenter has not yet com pleted his report on tho surveys hereto fore made, but is at. work on them and will probably submit them to the Land Office early this year.

From all outward appear ances the Wisconsin Senators are as good personal friends as any two mem bers of the upper branch of Congress, yet at heart the men are anything but friends, and politically are the bitterest of enemies. La Follctte Is " etcrnally watching for an opportunity to knife Spooner. and Spooncr. In his quiet way. Is laying for a psychological moment when he can place a bomb under La Fol lelte and blow his machine to smith ereens. It is to the credit of the Wisconsin Sen ators that they have so successfully hid den their personal and political enmity, and present smiling countenances to the public when they are together. It had boon freoly predicted that they would not speak whon they met in the Senate: on the contrary, the day of La Follette's Urst appearance they sat together, chat ted good naturedly. Senator Spooner In troduced his colleague to many of the older Senators, and made his first visit to the Senate as pleasant as possible.

Just before the Senate was called to order, as Spooner and La Folletto sat chatting together. Senator Tillman ot South Carolina came up, and after being Introduced, said to Senator La Follette: "You know I have lots of scraps with your colleague here. He's a hard fighter. Whenever you get Into a tight with him. and find you can't handle him. call on me and I will help you out. Together we ought to be able to do him."
