ROGERS SCENTS TROUBLE
Objects to the Defiant Tone As
sumed by Ban Johnson.
Believes President of the American
League should Have Consulted
In PhiIaGclphia-Confe Com
mittee May Not BE Appointed.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-President
sounded note of independence when he
gave it cut at Chicago that he had not
asked permission from anyone to place
clubs in the cities OF Baltimore. Washing
ton, and Philadelphia. Mr.. Johnson also
said that he was not looking for trouble.
but said, We are ready for it at any
time
Col. John /. Rogers, of the Philadelphia
National League Club, and member of
the circuit committee, was one of the
persons whom Mr.. Johnson did not con-
suit when he came here recently to take
steps to place an American League club in
this city.
1T is evident that Mr.. Johnson is not
as friendly toward the National League as
he would have it believed remarked
Colonel Rogers today. "If Mr.. Johnson
wished to show his friendlincss and desire
for peace, it would have been natural for
him to have called on me, as member
of the circuit committee, and explained
that he wished to place a club in this city.
"Of course. this is free country, and a
man has right to start a dozen clubs If
he SO desires; but at the same time. if a
man does so in spirit of friendliness he
would naturally consult with the parties
ALREADY there.
Surely by his actions and the state
nentS credited to him Mr.. johnson, as
President OF the American League, places
himself outside Ane pale of the national
agreement. You may rest assured that
the National League will stand on its dig
nifty enough net to appoint a committee
to treat with Mr.. Johnson, of the Ameri-
can League. If the officers of the latter
named organization wish to confer with
the national body they will have to do SO
at the meeting which will presumably be
held at New York.
OF course the American League men
may come to us and say that they desire
peace and wish to work in harmony with
the National League. No doubt il they
she W tie proper spirit by their actions
a change may be made in the national
agreement. 1t is continually being
changed. On the other hand. it is far
from likely that the National League will
be ready to adopt agreements drawn up
by the American League. 1t mus. be re-
membered that we have a great deal of
money invested in the National League,
and We will surely stand ready to protect
our interests.
Il can say now and positively that no
member Of the National League has any
secret understanding with Mr.. Johnson.
I am about the only one of the National
League rlen who favors having two clubs
in city. I do favor having another club
here. but of course / want to see it in the
hands Of CUR friends, and not enemies"

deafness by closing the Eustachian tubes,

A remedy to really cure catarrh must be
an internal remedy which will cleanse the
blood from catarrhal poison and remove
the fever and congestion from the mucous
membrane.
The best and most modern remedies for
this purpose are antiseptics scientifically
known as Eucalyptc!. Guaiacol. Sanguina-
ria. and Hydrastin, and while each of
these has been successfully used separ-
ately. yet it has been difficult to get them
all combined in one palatable, convenient,

Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuart's

and are equally beneficial for little chill

Stuart's Ca:arrf Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents for complete treat
ment and for convenience. safety. and
prompt results they are undoubtedly the
long looked for catarrh cure.

He favored the passage of the Grout bill.

sentiment. The trade mark OF pure but

should be protected by law. Thirty-thre
States he said had enacted laws prohibit
ing the coloring of imitation butter, but
what was needed to protect the people
against the fraudulent sale and use OF imi-
tation dairy products was national law
The speaker also said that cheese was a
product initiated. and he urged the Grange
to use its influence in behalf of the Filled
Cheese bill, which had been favorably re-
ported at the last session Of Congress.

The President of the Association OF Ae-
ricultural Chemists DR.. B. W. kilgore.
of North Carolina, made a short address
on the work Of his association and told Of
the close relations existing between the
agricultural chemist and the farmer. The
chemists he said. were interested in pure
food legislation and would do all in their
power to assist in securing the enactment
of laws on the subject.
Dr. H. W. Wiley. Chief Chemist of the
Agricultural Department. said people had
The right to eat adulterated food. but they
should not be deceived by having sold to

The Grange. he said. had always favored
pure food legislation and had accom-

Porto Eiean Committee Has Not

Free Trade Senators Not
Likely to Yield.
Tariff and Govt Bill Not Yet
Separated.

Washington, March Blowing to the
abssncs of Senator Spooner, the Porto
Rican stseriug committee has not yet
held a formal nesting, and none will be
held until his return. Members of the
committee, however, have been making
canvass OF the Senate to see II there can
be found basis of agreement which will
be satisfactory. So far no great progress
has been made. The Senators who an.
nouoed themselves In cluous against the
tariff portions of the bill, have shown no
q free trade amendment by Senator
Beveridge would indicate that that Sena-
tor intends to vote for free tra1e. 1t is
certain that q number Of other Republi-
cans are det armined not to vote for the
tarir; though the friends Of the measure
say only five or six will stand out when
the final test comes. At the sams time,
they do net desire to press vote on the
subject at present. They do not want
the party divided, and wish to have as
few speeches against the measure as pos
sible. A statement was made by Sera-
tor today to the effect that II those who
opposed the tariff could not be won over
to the majority the majority would 60
over to them. So far, however, there is
not the least disposition indicated of
abandoning the tariff feature of this bin
by its friends. The prospects are that
any action win be delayed as long as poa-
sibIe. The tariff feature of the bill will
not be separated from the government
features at present, although Senator
Foraker, having the bill in charge will
take that action as soon as 1t 10 apparent
that the government bill con be passed
and that there is no prospect Of an early
agreement upon the tariff provision.
