Not Likely That Coxey Talk Wiil lie In
dulged.
WAsHtNGroN, d. C., April 3o.-There
is 20 bo no CoXey talk in the House of
Representatives IL those who direct the
course OF legislation can prevent II, and
they think they can. II has been aD-
prsciated that an intlammatory debate
might readily be started in the House
as an adjunct to the COXey demOuStrl-
ton outside, and care has been taken 10
cut of the possibility Of such a discus
sion. The House leaders feel that such
a course is imperative in order 10 avoid
congressional announcement 70 the
movement. Resolutions which may be
submitted bearing on COXey's bills or
the treatment of COIeY'S men or hear
ings for CoXey delegations will be
promptly referred to committees
without debate. Once in committee
there is no likelihood of the measures
emerging until the question subsidies.
Neither will the House leaders con-
strue any COxey resolution as embrac-
ing question Of privilege permitting 10
10 be debated without reference TO
committee. BY these means the House
will proceed with its regular business
as though the CoIey demonstration had
not occurred. The only means by
which reference 20 CoXsy can be crowd
ed into the debate, will be by the injcc-
tiOn OF a COxey speech into the debate
on one OF the pending appropriation
bills Even this will be discouraged
and II possible prevented. and II inject
cd the speech will accomplish nothing.

MAY Have . BalI park.

1t is understood that the Mozart Park
Association is talking of establishing a
ball park on the hill. The need OF
ball park was mentioned sometime ago
in the REGISTER. Since that time
number OF men interested In the sport,
have talked with members OF the Asso-
citation in regard to the matter. BY
purchasing a piece Of land adjoining
the park, a most excellent ball held
could be fitted up. II is thought that
base ball attractions there would large.
ly increase the crowds.
