P.Staff Correspondent) New York, Nov. 6.—(United Press) — Football modernists will put the ;ante through the most interesting experiment tomorrow at Providence hal has been tried since the conservdives were forced to accept the for-

ward pass. Brown university and Boston university have been persuaded by a tmall group of gridiron radicals to measure their game by a number of plays instead of timing the periods by he tick of a watch. The idea is this: Each period will be restricted Io forty plays and they are .to count ’ousecutlvely. excepting ig cases where a foul has been committed by he defending team necessitating the imposition of a penalty. For instance, it a play is called back because the defending leant was off-side, the play will not count against the team -in possession of the ball. If. jtter four plays, the ball goes to the other side on downs, the play will be number live play and the dabulation continued. The same rules will prevail as undir the watch system of timing. At the start of each period the score board will register "40 plays to go,’’ then "39,” "38” and up forth, until forty plays have been made. The periods ends then and the score at that time is recorded. , | Advocates of the pew system lye-; lieve, although there arc arguments , against it, that the game will be I speeded up. because there will be no. benefit to a team stalling in the lust' part of the game by throwing forward passes wildly and promiscuously. , Connersville, lad., Nov.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER G, 1925. ”

Dutch Anderson Was ' Scion Os The Danish Nobility, Says Lawyer Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 6.—The veil of mystery that , shrouded the real identity of Dutch Anderson, slayer, bank robher ami desperado, whose career was ended by a bullet from his own revolver at Muskegon, Midi., Saturday, was pierced today. ' lu a copyrighted story the Rochester Journal and Post Express prints the life history of the bandit, as given by William J. Baker, an attorney, of this city, and to whom the police of the Michigan city have turned for advice, now that the curtain has fallen on oqe of the amazing crime dramas of America. The records at Atlanta Federal Prison gave the name I of Mr. Baker as the person to be call--led in case of death. | While the bullet-riddled body of i George (Dutch) Anderson lies in the )morgue at Muskegon it will be temp- : orarily interred in that city at the I direction of Mr. Baker —a widowed ’mother awaits patiently in Denmark for another letter from the boy she (thinks is prospering in business in .this country. That letter never will I come. , Must Break News And to the Rochester attorney falls ; the lot of breaking the sad news. I Madame von Teller, representative ; of a noble Danish family, never knew . that her son, Ivan Dani von Teller | and Dutch Anderson, internationally , known bandit, safe-blower and desperado, were yne and the spine. I Mr. Baker said: | "She does not know, and 1 hope she never will know. I "No matter what others may say about Anderson’s real name being Brown or Heins, or any of the many other aliases he used and fixing his birthplace as St. Louis, or any American city, the fact remains—and 1 can vouch for its authenticity—-that he was born in Denmark and christened Ivan Daul von Teller. “At the age of twenty he ran away from home and came to America. With 'the lid oft" it was not long before he fell in with criminals of various kinds and soon his genius for crime began to assert itself. From I petty ciiir.es he soon became a -memliber of |laiger 'mobs,' and it was not many years before he found himself a leader in the circle of those who lived by pitting their iptelligence against that of the police for big » stakes. / "In his Bertillon pictures there is '.an unmistakable sneer in the downward draw left corner of his mouth. ’ Although even among the police he was always characterized as 'the 1 gentleman crook,’ he himself .frankly ’ admitted a /udons hatred against or- ’ ganized society. * «1K "This he attributed to an expert- ' ence in South Carolina, wlieh he was ' convicted of a crime because, as he would have phrased it. 'there was no one else to hang it on.' and sent to one of the turpentine* operated by convict labor." * Although Mr. Baker said he had received no direct communication from Anderson since his escape from At I lanta nearly two years ago. Jie exI pressed no surprise at the "Way in | which he came to his end. “Anderson always said he would 1 never lie captured alive again,” the

attorney sa’d. "but the thing 1 can't MYSTERIOUS While vitamins are unseen, mysterious factors, medical science proves that they are necessary to assure health.

I . understand is this story that he had a woman companion with him when' he was captured. Anderson never i worked with women to my knowledge, and I've known him a long time." I From the time of the release from Auburn until his escape from Atlanta, Mr. Baker said, “Anderson looked on I I 4tm hestor as a ki id of sanctuary and refrained from plying his vocation in tills city. He visited -the attorney many times in his free years and according to Mr. Baker, invariably notified ('apt. McDonald, detective, of his presence in this city, to avoid the humiliation of being picked up in the street and taken to police-headquart-ers for questioning. Mr. Baker said he would arrange to have the body of the bandit interred at Muskegon and would then communicate with Mme. Von Teller as to the final disposition of the body of her son Ivan. "She does not get the American papers," he said, “and for many years her only news from America has been tho regular letters from her son.” Anderson met Gerald Chapman, equally famous bandit, in Auburn prison, when he was serving a sentence for a Jewelry robbery at Rochester. He was at that time teaching Spanish in the prisqn school and found in Chapman a kindred spirit. From that time, Mr. Baker said, their paths ran together until Chapman's arrest at Muncie, Ind. Tanners Show How To Detect Shoe Frauds Chicago, Nov. 6. — (United Press) — The "A B C” of avoiding fraud in buyng shoes and other leather products is taught in a series of exhibits, prepared by the American Leather Producers and displayed in connection with the two-day convention of the Tanners' Council of America which opened her etoday. "There is nothing" which the average individual buys about which he is as ignorant as leather goods," said Leo Elkan, president of the Chicago Tanners' association, which arranged the exhibits. “The increased use .of leather offers dishonest manufacturers a greater op-

Action was taken, however, to relieve small business men by raising the amount considered as earned income from SIO,OOO to $20,000.
