SENATE WANTS
MORE CLERKS
And the Present Indication is That
They Will Make Vigorous Fight
in Order to Get Them-The Tilt
Between the Governor and the
Senate Amicably Settled.

CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 12.-While the
clerkship squabble is disposed of, for
the time being at least, in the house, it
is by no means yet settled in the senate.
The house submitted to the inevitable
with good grace, and will endeavor to
struggle through the session with a
greatly reduced cIaricel force. Most of
the committees will perhaps be able to
get along with the allowance given them
under the resolution passed yesterday,
and those that require more assistance
will have no difficulty whatever in get
ting them.
In the senate the matter remains in
status quo, and the prospect is that the
present force of clerks will be consider
ably increased before the honorable sem
ators will have peace of mind.
The tilt between the governor and the
senate over the unconfirmed appoint
ments of the board of regents of the
state university yesterday morning
promised to lead to some racy and in
teresting developments, but with the
concession of the senate yesterday after
noon, represented by the returning OF
the appointments to the chief executive.
these prospects vanished. The COVER
nor's right to recall the appointments
was conceded, and the hitherto friendly
relations existing between the governor
and senate have been restored.
The result of the return of the ap.
pointments, it is predicted, will effect

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE most yig-
orous and sensational testimony was
given before the war investigating COM
mittee today by Commissary- General
Eagan, who appearing unexpectedly to
meet the allegation against the beef is
issued in the war, vigorously arraigned
General Miles, commanding the army.
He denied numerous statements made
by Miles, charged that the latter's testi-
mony constituted several reflections on
commanding generals of the expeditions
and referred to him as ''This same Com
manding General Nelson A. Miles," and
said: "Who ever called beef furnished
'embalmed beef, is liar.'
w. Miles, in charge of Armour &
Co.'s plant, appeared for the packing
house. He testified as to the quantity
of the canned meats and methods of in
spection.
Commissary Eagan, in the course OF
his testimony, called Gen. Miles, COM
manding the army, "A liar, who lied in
his throat, lied in his heart, lied in ev.
cry part of his body" who perpetrated
gross scandal and who should be
drummed out of the service and inn
prisoned, and should be avoided by ev-
honest man and barred from every club
He characterized his interviews at
''flth." Eagan's testimony on thii
point was:

BASKET BALL LEAGUE.
One is Formed By the
Worcester Soldier

Representatives of the different local
companies of the state militia met yes
terday forenoon at the state arnory
and formed basketball league The
schedule for the season was not pre-
pared, but will be at the next meeting
which is to be held Sunday at 10 o'clock
in the City Guards quarters at the ar
mory.
The committee representing the com
panles were all present at the meeting
which was called to get the sentiment
OF the local companies as regards the
formation of league and the conduct
OF basket ball games at the armory this
winter. The meeting was presided over
by Sergt. Fred B. Jordan of the We'll

from the companies were Sergt. Alba I

COMPANIES We're enthusiastic over the
game. The only negative report was
made by the committee from the Light
Infantry, who stated their position on
the matter. They said that they had
too many other things on hand to look
after this winter, in the presentation of
their play and other social events. They
stated that there was a possibility OF
the company being represented in the
league later in the season.
1t was then decided to form a league
and to leave the matter of securing the
armory to their respective commanders
and commissioned officers, who are ia

when the latter returns from his vaca-
ton, in regard to having the use of the
armory for the winter months to hold

the exception of the Light Infantry. are
unanimous in regard to the holding OF
basket ball games at the armory this
year. The officers of the various com

interest in the work of the militia If

contest two or three times week
throughout the winter months.

A VERY CLOSE CALL.
Four Young People Cap
sized on Lake Quin-
sigamond.

A single circumstance prevented a
wholesale drowning accident at the
lake yesterday. Had a sailboat which
capsized beer ballasted, as is the usual
style of such boats, the probability is
that four young people would have gone
down within reaching distance of shore.
George N. Dean and George Whit
comb, accompanied by two young la
dies, took advantage of the brisk wind
to enjoy spin over the lake in the
afternoon. Directly in front of the
Quinsigamond Boat Club house, the
boat capsized. Fortunately for them,
the boat was without ballast, and re-
manned afloat so they could cling to 1t
until the wind blew them ashore.
The saiiboat belongs to Sidney P.
Harding, who Mas summered at the
lake all the season. Mr.. Dean has
lived with him and sailed the boat hun
oreds of times. He has never had the
slightest difficulty in handling the
boat. They cruised around for a few
hours and headed down the lake, beat
ing across on short tacks against a
southeast wind. The wind blew brisk
ly, one of the strongest of the season
at the lake. The party was on the re-
Mr. Dean. who was sailing the boat,
was running on a port tack before the
wind. He held to that tack with a
free sheet until the boat was well in
shore in front of the Quinsigamond
Beat Club house. He had to tack
at that point to avoid being driven on
shore. He made a mistake in running
too close to the shore, for when he
attempted to make the tack. he was
cramped for room 1t was necessary
for him to tack quickly instead of TAX
ing necess AIRY room and rounding safe

the strong breeze, the boat had cap

The four occupants were thrown into
the water. The men Immediately
grasped their companions and raised
them to a place of safety on the over
turned boat, Then they clambered on
the boat the mse1ves, and all waited pa
tiently for the wind to blow them
ashore. The steam launches which
We're running occasional trips, were no.
where in sight, and no rowboats were
at hand.
The caps'zed boat was about five
minutes making the shore. The young
ladies and Mr.. Whitcomb went to the
Quinsigamond house. and later came to
their homes in the city. Mr.. Dean
remained with the boat.

Turner's Close the Season With
Concert-Notes

The Turner's closed their lake season
