operating without code, except 50
far as provided in the employees time
cards and the standard code Of the
American Railway association. The
ofrrner are very brief. an dthe latter
books are so scarce that it is doubtful
whether any except the highest Off
cials ever saw copy.
The new book is a great improve
ment on the standard code. It con.
sists Of 126 pages. It is bound in
cloth It has marginal index through
out, which the standard code does not
have. It Is divided iuto distinct
topics plainly set of with good, black
heads. It is illustrated with six col
ored plates showing the various colors
and positions Of the semaphore sig
nails.
Each Of the books is to be number
ed. They will not be given away but
will be loaned 10 the employees Or
the hrst page in the book is a blanl

THE SOLDIERS UNBEATEN.
The Infantry men Defeat the Athletic
Club basketball Team.

Had it not been for three fouls on the
part Of their opponents the Eastern Ath-
letic Club basketball team would have
been shut out by the Washington Light
Infantry last night at the Light Infantry
Armory AS it was the Athletics we're
successful in making 3 points from
free throws, while the soldiers ran up
total of a. Eight hundred enthusiastic
partisans of both teams watched the
game which was despite the one-sided
/ appearance of the score. close and inter
/ esting 1t was the second time the two
| teams had met this season, and the
| Eastern rooters hoped TO see the defeat
| of the first contest avenged.
/ On the floor the Athletics played fast
/ game but they were fatally weak in bas-
ket throwing. Time and again they mad
! clean chances at the net, but missed mis-
| erabIy Lotus and Kendall played fast
| throughout the contest. Lotus swift
work on scrimmages is fast gaining him
reputation as one of the best basketball
players in the league. Kendall connected
with the basket regularly, scoring four OF
the infantrymen's goals.
Hughes of Eastern mixed up in a fierce
scrimmage in the first half and was fore
ed against the wall, sustaining bad cut
over the eye. The wound was not serious,
but forced him to retire and his place
was taken by Evans.
The result of the game last night put
Eastern on level with the Corcoran Ca
diets in the race for the championship.
Each has now played four and won two
games.
Fouls were frequent and the penalties
inflicted were although usually distaste-
full to the audience, generally fair.
Eastern started out with rush which
was checked when Lotus made goal
Two minutes after play began Kendall
fouled shortly after. and Moffitt's goal
from free throw made the initial point of
Eastern's score Deylin. Shreve. and Loft
us worked a neat three-cornered pass and
then the latter dropped the leather in the
net before the Athletics woke up. Infan-
try 1. Eastern /.
Shreve converted a free throw from 4
foul by Hughes, into a goal, and Mcffitt
duplicated the trick for the Athletics
Shreve added another point to the total
of the soldiers just before the call OF
time Score: Infantry 6, Eastern ,
Almost Immediately after the opening
Of the second half MOffit missed a free
throw. Kendall got the ball just under
the basket and tossed it in. \ moment
later he repeated the performance. and
then made third goal just after the tall
had been put into play. splendid throw
from point well out in the field resu tel
in his fourth goal Boyd made a goal
from a free throw Just before the timers

PENSION COURT OF APPEALS.
Secretary Hitchcock Offers II Substi-
tutc for the Miers Bill.

Secretary Hitchcock OF the Interior De-
partment was before the House Commit
tee on Invalid Pensions yesterday and ex-
planned his objections to the Miers bill,
authorizing the appointment of Pension
Court OF Appeals. This is the bill en-
dorsed by the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie. Secretary Hitchcock said he approved
the general principles of the bill but he
did not believe 1t would accomplish the
object sought. He suggested a bill that
had been drawn by the department, which
would. in effect, leave everything in the
hands OF the Secretary as at present. The
Administration bill proposes TO send 10
the United States Supreme Court for ad-
judication ten pension appeal cases year
to have the pension laws construed. This,
the Secretary said would facilitate mat
tiers and enable the department 10 dispose
of thousands Of cases a year. Many ques-
tions were asked. showing that the mem
bers Of the committee are deeply inter
ested in the bill.
Today General Patrick OF Alabama will
be heard by the committee in advocacy OF
the Miers bill. General Patrick was one
of the Grand Army of the Republic COM
mittee that drew the bill.
