IT MOVE TO REGULATE INTERCOL- IEGIATE ATHLETICS Rules Proposed for Amateur Stand ing of Athletes Better Schedule for Football Games. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Jan. 16.. (Special.) The associated students and faculty of Whitman College are co operating in the effort to organize a con ference to regulate athletics and the other Intercollegiate activities among the col leges and universities of the Northwest. it is evident that something must be done to improve conditions la this sec tion, especially In the matter of eligibility and amateur rules. Probably most of the attacks that have been published this year regarding Individual players have been uncalled for, the fault lvlne in the fact that there has been no definite agreement all around as to Just what circumstances should bar a man from representing, his college. Some of the eligibility rules that the coming confer ence will probably consider are the four- year rule; the so-called one-year rule. which provides that a man who has com peted for one college in the conference cannot ' go to another college and com pete for it until he shall have been there a year: a rule requiring 12 hours of regu lar college work, and some conserva tive amateur rule will also probably be favored by all the colleges in the con ference, - But aside from these eligibility, rules, which the various institutions will prob ably offer, Whitman intends to propose to the convention that this conference be made to apply to other matters than eligibility. Whitman favors an annual conference track meet, such as Is held in the East and Middle West, Instead of the small meets that are In vogue here. Whitman also wants to submit to the convention a plan for a conference ora torical contest. Another big proposition to be proposed Is the plan of a football schedule whereby each Institution In the conference shall meet each of the others In football. Here tofore the schedules have been more or less "hit and miss." so that some of the colleges would only meet two or three of those In her class. For Instance, Oregon Agricultural College played only Oregon last year. The uncertain result of the football season for the last few years has been a result of just such unsatis factory schedule arrangements. Whitman has taken the Initiative in the matter by inviting the six big institutions In the Northwest to meet in Walla Walla on February 7 and 8. PAY FOR BLOCKADE RUNNER Owners of Boat Lost to Japs Can Collect Insurance. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 16. (Special.) For the loss of the steamship Tacoma, seized by the Japanese government in 1906 as a blockade runner while en route between Seattle and Vladivostok, the Northwestern Steamship Company may collect J13.900 against the Maritime Insur ance Company, of England, the insurer of the vessel, the full amount of the pol icy. Judge C. H. Hanford so decreed In a decision handed down in the Federal Court this morning. The Tacoma was carrying to Vladl vostok, under false orders. It Is alleged, 9000 barrels of beef and other contraband of war for the Russian forces. In the OMatsk Sea the vessel was caught In the Ice and detained for more tlan 40 days. Fuel and food almost exhausted, the ship started for the nearest Japanese port to provision. A Japanese war vessel cap tured the ship and a prize court con demned her. The underwriters declined to pay the war policy because of the fact that false orders were given the captain by John Fosene, then president of the Northwestern Steamship Company, and that the vessel deviated from her course against the provisions of the war clause.

HELD TO CIRCUIT COURT Mrs. Ellen Vanderllp, 58 Tears Old, Tries to Swallow Morphine When , Her Thefts Are Discovered. Her Relatives Give Ball. ALBANY, Or.. Jan. 16. (Special.) Mrs. Ellen Vanderllp, a woman 58 years old. residing one mile west of Halsey, was caught shop-lifting in the store of Cham bers & McCune in this city at noon today. She was detained in the Sheriff's office all 'afternoon and this evening Justice Swan held her for the Circuit Court under 500 bonds, which were furnished by Halsey relatives. The woman was in the store of Cham bers & McCune early this morning, and her actions then engendered suspicions aroused on her former trips to Albany, and when she returned about noon she was watched. EL H. McCune saw her take a shirtwaist, two collars and some ribbons and then detained her until an officer could arrive to make the arrest. While McCune telephoned to the Sheriff, she fought desperately to get away and pleaded hysterically for liberty. She also tried to swallow some morphine and this leads to the belief that in her hysterical condition she may have meant to commit suicide. A grip Mrs. Vanderllp carried was found to contain two pairs of shoes, a lace curtafi, some ribbons and remnants and even some bologna sausage. The dry goods were - Identified as coming from three different stores and the sausage from a local meat market, all unpaid for. She denied ownership of the grip and tried by threats to force her 6-year-old grandchild, Willie Corcoran, who accom panied her, to lie about Its ownership. Later she confessed to today s thefts, but claimed it was her first offense, ex cept that she took some ribbons two weeks ago from the store where she was caught today. Mrs. Vanderllp says she has been making trips to Albany twice a month to buy morphine for herself and alcohol for her husband, Henry Van derllp, being unable to procure the articles in Halsey. It is suspected she also practiced some shop-lifting on these trips, and employes of Chambers & Mc Cune are positive she took several arti cles there on her last trip here. The woman admits using morphine for eight years, and in her grip was a large bottle of the drug as well as two bot tles of alcohol which 6he purchased today at a local drugstore. This Is the second arrest of a woman for shop-lifting here in a little more than a week, Mrs. Kate Murray being caught January 8, stealing a purse in Woodworth's drugstore and having a score of stolen articles in her possession. UNEARTH HISTORIC RELICS INDICATE RUSSIA ONCE OWNED WEST COAST. Old Papers at Sitka Show That Alaska Purchase Should Have Been Much Larger. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 16. (Special.) Papers discovered In old Russian archives at Sitka, Alaska, the former capital of the northland when It was a part of the Czar's vast domain, Indicate that bylrlgh.t the whole western coast of North Amer ica belongs to the United States, as that portion now under British control orig inally belonged to the empire of the white bear and should have gone with Alaska when It was ceded to the United States in 1867.

Nabakoff was sent to Sitka by the Rus sian government to make certain re searches among the old papers lor nis torical data when the important discov ery was made. The documents plainly show how the Czar's realm was enlarged hv the entire northern coast of wortn America, and will ultimately lead scholars to nhllosonhize on what might have Deen had American statesmen, in the days gone bv. been Dossessed of this wonderful In formation. The documents are written in old Russian and Nebakoff says they hed some verv interesting as well as new light on the .early history of the far north. Regular Trains Into Lyle.
