GOVERNMENT SUGGEEDING IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS Chris Hagen Returns to Crookston and Says the Work is Progressing Rapidly. Crookston, August 19— (Special to the Pioneer)—Chris O. Hagen, chief clerk of the bureau of educa- tion in the Philippines arrived in Crookston yesterday after six years service in the educational depart- ment of the Islands, and will enjoy a six months stay in the United States. Just prior to his departure he was appointed acting superintend- | ent of Filipino student in the United iy States to succeed Edmund Enright. Some time ago there were one hundred such students in the vari- ous educational institutions in the United States who were being educated at the expense of this government, but there are only thirty-five at the present time and they are scattered in several sect- ions of the country. These Fili- pino students, as fast as they are prepared, return to their native land to enter the education of work on the Islands. Regarding the conditions, in the Islands Mr. Hagen in an interview last evening said: “The conditions on the islands are improving steadily and rapidly. The government is effective and is thoroughly organized. The system is proving a success because each de- partment head is held strictly re- sponsible for successful work. He in tura looks to his men for effective service and positions are rapidly getting down to a question of merit only. The man who cannot show results cannot hold his position. This is seen by the weeding out pr- cess. Those who make good hi\fl,k their jobs or are promoted, and those who do not show progress are being called to account strictly, “The comprehensive plan of government is being carried out on a large scale, and the problem of governmwent is working itself out among the natives. The Filipinos are enjoying the greatest degree of freedom now that they ever did and the only clamoring being done came from a few grasping Filipino politi- ticians, who, were they in control, would soon be oppressing the people and looting them. “The attitude toward the United States is changing very rapidly to SPORTING NOTES Radical Changes in 1910 Rules. The 1910 football rules, football loving public were put on sale in the Twin Cities yesterday morning. None of the books have been received in Bemidji, as yet, but the following article, written by John McGovern, captain of the 1909 University footballs team, gives the important changes. *¢The first change to attract the attention of the spectator is in the playing field itself. The five-yard lines running parallel with the side lines will no longer appear. These marks which made the field look like an immense checker board, were drawn for the purpose of determining the legality of for- ward passes and quarterback runs Last year, passes to be legitimate must not cross the scrimmage line within five yards of the center. The same was true of quarterback runs. This restriction has been removed, so that now the ball may on a direct pass from the center rush, over any part of the scrim- mage line. Thelinesare therefore no longer necessary and hence have been removed. Substitutions Allowed. “Another change of importance aimed to lessen the injures is in re- gard to the substitution of players. Formerly a player once taken out of a contest was out for the day, as the code forbade his further participa- tion in the game. The rules as changed allow a player who has been removed to be returned once at the beginning of any period. In this way players may be taken out when exhausted and thus saved from possi- ble injury. Coaches were laath to take out a player regardless of how reason many players were injured who may be saved under the new system. The old rule in regard to substituting one player for another has not been changed. *Another material change wrought for the same purpose is the division of the game into four periods of play, each of fifteen minutes dura- tion. There shall be three minutes intermission between the first and second and the third and fourth periods of play, during which time no player shall leave the field of play. Between the second and third periods will be the customary ten which have so long been awaited by the be passed or carried by a player, | badly he was tired, and for :his‘l minutes intermission. Some ob- jection was voiced against the four- period change because it was alleged this would tend to slow up the game. “Two minutes are often taken out for injuries and the time not noticed. The short intermissions are about one of friendliness, and this is es- pecially noticeable among the better classes. Municipal im- . provements are coming on apace, It has been a gigantic task to in- still in the minds of the Filipinos the necessity of cleanliness as one of the foundation stones of pro- gress. But gains in this direction are steady and substantial. After centuries of carlessness and sloven- liness, 1t is realy wonderful that so much progress along these lines ¥ is being made. *Railroad systems are now thread- ing three of the greatest islands and the service is improving steadily. This is one of the great weapons to be used in developing the islands and diffusing education. In Manilla o some great moderizing forces are at work. A $500,000 hotel is being erected, the Elks are building a $160,000 club house, and the Army and Navy club are erecting a $200,000 building. Other structures S long similar lmgs are either going up or are being planned. “The old moat surrounding the city has been turned into a beautiful park, thus getting rid of a- mosquito breeding place and providing the children with a fine play ground at the same time. ‘‘Another very modern move is construction of a beautiful twenty- two mile auto drive by the govertment from Manila to Cavite, skirting the ocean, waves which dash up against the maca- damized road the entire distance— or will when the drive way is com- pleted. Itwill be a magnificent drive and though costing a con- siderable sum will be a great im- provement when completed. “Every c ndition is encouraging and therc is no question but what the government as now being 2 carried out 15« ffective,” \ Mr. Hagen will spend some time in Crookston visiting his brothers aud sisters, County At- torney E. O. Hagen being a broth- the same, and while they will afford a much-needed rest to the players, will not spoil the game in any way. No Pulling or Pushing. “One of the most radical changes is to the effect that no player of the side in possession of the ball shall use his arms, hands or body to push, pull or in any way assist the man with the ball. The object of this change is to eliminate mass play, which is responsible for a great amount of the injuries. The effect of this most sweeping alteration will not be known until this style of at- tack is tried. “At the beginning of the second and fourth periods of play, the teams shall change goals, but. the ‘posses- sion of the bal), its relative position to the goal line, number of downs and yards to be gained remain the the same. The team shall not change goals after a try at goal when a touchdown has been made, but the side scored upon has the option of kicking off or having their opponents do so. “The changes regarding the for- ward pass are radical, designed to eliminate the dangers of this play. The change to protect the player receiving the pass is to the effect that *‘no player of either side, while in the act of catching a forward pass, shall be tackled, thrown, pushed, pulled, shouldered or straight-armed until he shall have ar.

MANY STUDENTS PLAN TO ENTER HIGHER SGHOOLS Are Preparing to Leaye About the First of September—Six Go to State University. o In about two weeks, the annual exodus of students to the larger insti- tutions of learning will start and Bemidji will have a good share this year. Some have not set decided whether or not they will continue their education by taking a college or normal course, and some have not yet decided where they will go, but a number are getting ready to leave the city about the first of September. Four high school graduates have decided to enter the University and will register in the freshman class this fall. Gladys Kreatz will live in Sanford Hall, the new womans dormitory; Ralph Lycan will go to the Delta Tau Delta house; and Clarence Shannon and Hal Huffman will go to the Delta Kappa Epsilon house. Jack Peterson will go down as a senior dent and Harold Dane as a senior academic, Ivis Roberts and Clara Fisk re- turn to Carlton. Miss Roberts will be a junior this fall and Miss Fisk a sophomore. One of the recent high school graduates who has not yet decided on her college is said to favor Carlton. Moorhead Normal will get two, Nell Shannon and Ethel Getchell both entering as freshmen. Miss Olive Cunningham expects to leave in about two weeks to spend the winter with her brother in Harrigburg, Pennsylvania, While -there, she expects to continue her school work. Bemidji has always had a good representation at the higher instituti- ons and is keeping up the reputation this year. FAGTS MISUNDERSTOOD Begsley Building Incident Caused No Apparent Injuries. In last evening’s Pioneer was pub. lished an article about an incident that occurred at the new’ Begsley building, on Fourth street in this city. The information received at that time, compared with real facts of the story goes to show ‘how eye| witnesses differ in opinions. The facts of the incident are these. The derrick at the top of the build- ing was caused to move quickly by the starting of the horse below and pushed Clayton Kreatz off the build- ing, a distance of about twelve feet. His fall was broken by coming in contact with H. A. Simons who stood on the ground close to the building. Out side of a slight shakeup on the part of both men apparently no further injuries were received. NEWS FROM BLAGKDUCK. Mr. and Mrs. E. C.

Bagley, August 19—(Special to the Pioneer) — A. E. Harris, of Bemidji, took the stand in the War- ren-Kolb case yesterday. He testi- fied that he was manager of the Northwestern Telephone company in Bemidji. Previous .testimony had placed the Bagley-Ogema Telephone Exchange at $350 when it was bought by Mr. Warren. Mr. Harris said that he would estimate the original value of the material in the exchage at $500. Peter Millbach went on the stand | vesterday and testified that his esti- mate of the original value of the plant when it was sold was $350. S. M. Bugge was placed on the stand and testified that during the greater part of the time that the ex- change belonged to Mr. Warren that he acted in the capacity of secretary and Mr. Kolb as treasurer with Mr. Warren as president and general manager. Mr, Bugge's testimony develop- ed that facts that Mr. Warren was away from Bagley for the greater part of the time and that Mr. Bugge and Mr. Kolb took charge of the management during his ab- sence, Peter J. Millbach ' was manager of construction work. Mr. Bugge will again take the stand this morning and testify further as to his connections with the Bagley-Ogema Telephone company and to “his connections with Mr. Kolb. Mr. Bugge is cakhier of the First National bank. Eugene Warren was put on the stand again yesterday but his testi- mony did not materially differ from that given Wednesday.

Rose Ains- worth made a convincing Juno Joyce, the actress who married Bachelor. Her gowns were clean and new and better than usually seen here. Charles Williams, as Dr. Ludwig Schwartz, was one of the hits of the show. His mixed German dialect was excellent and he was good for a laugh every time he appeared. In- cidentally, he proved himself a chalk artist in a specialty between the acts. The other parts were filled in an able manner and backed up the principals so that the play was well rounded. Dale Devereaux sang an Ttalian dialect song that was well received. = Irene Gilbert danced the “Yama Yama Man.” TIsabelle Gil- bert played for both numbers. Eunice Kolling played the part of the spinster sister. The company had tonight as an open date and the manager de- cided to stay over for another per- formance. Manager Carson an- nounced last night that a cut rate would be in force today. Seats are on sale at Hanson’s drug store and will be at the theatre. before the performance.
