meet with approval more ON account
OF the impraetlcability OF the scheme
in the opinion OF the members
than that other animals would be
likely to contract the diseases. The
argument advanced was that well
animals would not associate with
the diseased animals and the ends of
the experiment would not be met.
What view the house may take OF II,
when the committee reports, il prob
lematical.
Jealous Democrats again tried to
kill Mr.. Hedges appOrtiOnment meas
urc, but signolly failed. The COM
mlttee reported In favor Of indefinite
pustponement, but when the matter
came up in the house Mr.. Hedges Sc
cured II majority for the proposition
To print the hill and IL will be cunsid-
cred again later. As no other bill OF
the same nature has been introduced
IL seems strange that the majority
should try and kill the bill, which l.
absolutely necessary, just because IL
has been introduced 10y n Republican.
In the senate the committee has de-
cided to dismiss the contest filed
against the seat held by Senator
Meyer and il is hardly probable that
anything more will be heard OF it.
Petitions against the enactment of
the Tierney gambling bill are being
received each day, They are coming
from all parts of the state and con-
tain Il large number Of signatures.
The gamblers themselves do not
much favor the bill, because underits
provisions they will have t0take out
u license to gamble, the same as 10
peddlers. They want to gamble but
don't like the idea OF being published
as licensed gamblers. The debate on
the measure will be warm aud II Is
freely predicted that even though a
bill licensing gambling should pass,
Ii would fail to receive executive APP
proval, as was the case two years
ago.
An effort to change the state seal
was promptly killed in the senate and
stands no chancein the house. Some
over-particular members do not like
the state motto, "ora y plata" stat
ing that its meaning, gold and sill
ver," is too mercenary for a great
state.
What is known as the company
store bill was in affair way Of passing
the house Friday when held up by an
opinion of the attorney general to
the effect that as framed 1t would be
unconstitutional. This sent it back
to a committee for amendment.

The house finally passed the act
creating Powell county. Several
bills were considered in committee Of
the whole in the senate and recon-
mended for passage, among them n
measure to- pay jurors and witnesses
mileage and per diem, whether they
live within twenty-five miles OF the
county seat or not.

If Mr.. FREEDMAN WINS
BASEBALL LEAGUE MAY BE
ORGANIZED AT ONCE.
Much Depends on the Action of the
Court i'm the Spalding In
junction Case.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Discussing the
war in the National League the World will
say tomorrow: Whatever the result of
the court proceedings tomorrow CThurs-
day. in the baseball war may be, there is
a good chance that more interesting history
in baseball will be made this week. Mr..
Johnson, president of the American League,
and the foremost figure in baseball to-day.
is expected here tomorrow or Friday.
Johnson is a man of quick action and there
may be a new circuit formed in quick order
if Freedman beats Spalding in court to-
morrow.
1T became known yesterday CTuesday)
that a new club has already been organized
in this city, ready to do business at once.
The organization was completed last Sum
day, presumably just before Spalding made
the public announcement that Freedman
would be out of baseball in the near fu-
ture. 1t is claimed that the new club has
al option on a convenient plot of ground
suitable for baseball playing.
During the political squabbling the fact
has apparently been overlooked that the
New York club has been practically torn
TO pieces by the American League. Davis,
Hickman, Warner and Setback have
jumped. The club is to-day without a man
ager, unless Secretary Fred Knowles can
be considered as such. symptoms OF a
panic displayed themselves last week when
ChriSty MatthewSOn was sent out or town
TO avoid the American League managers
who made their presence felt at the Ma
tional League meeting.
SHOULD the courts decide that A. Ct.
Spalding was not legally elected president
of the League, 1t will merely put the mag
mates back to where they were last Fri
day-in the Fifth-avenue Hotel with a dead
lock vote Of four to four

FRATERNAL BOWLING LEAGUE.


Efforts are now being made to organize
a bowling league among the various fra
ternaI organizations in the city for social
purposes. 1t is the intention of those in
terested in the matter to have teams in
the league from the Odd Fellows, Elks,
Masons, Knights of Pythias, Modern
Woodmen and Red Men. L. G.. Keller, an
Odd Fellow, who is at the head of the mat
ter. said yesterday that a meeting will be
held at Odd Fellows Hall Sunday after
noon, and representatives of the secret So
cietfes and all who are interested in the
matter are invited to attend.
Charles BALI is the leading spirit in or
ganizing the Elks team, and he believes
he can secure a team of Elks that will
make any of the other secret society teams
look like they had never seen a bowling
alley. DR.. Culver is organizing the team
of MaSons. Among the Odd Fellows who
will try for the team are l. G.. Keller, Will
liam Coval, f. E. Heller, Charles RUBBISH
(captain), William Sachs, H. O.. Berndt,
William Killenmeyer. John Teckenbrock
and c. Hill.
1t will be decided at the meeting Sunday
whether the teams shall be composed of
five or ten men. 1t is the desire to or
ganize the league at once, so that alleys
can be secured for the opening games
about the first of the year. 1t is the in
tention to play games weekly. AS many
of the teams proposed include the names
of players who belong to either the In
~dianapolis or Independent leagues the ques-
ton has arisen as to the eligibility OF any
player who participates in the Fraternal
League who is a member Of another league.
The Indianapolis and Independent leagues
forbid players from playing with teams in
other eagueS. but it is said this rule may
be amended in order to allow the players
TO participate in the games in the Fra
ternal League.

AN ERA OF MODERATION
THE WEATHER DEMONSTRATIONS
HOLD OUT SOME HOPE.
1t is just Cold Enough to Keep the
Snow on the G~rOund-COaI
and Wood Buyers.

The weather indications are most en-
couraging to those who have recently pur-
chased new sleighs or repaired old ones,
for the weather man, who has been lam
basted most severely of late, said last night
there will be no decided change in the
temperature for the present at least. But
to those poor u-nfortunates who have not
the money to purchase fuel to keep warm
and TO those who have not been able to
lay i'm a supply of coal or wood the pre-
dictions are met with sorrow.
Yesterday it was warmer. the maximum
temperature being fifteen degrees above
rezo, while the minimum was four above.
The day felt like a temperate one COM
pared with last Sunday, and it was even
noticed during midday that some men had
their overcoats unbuttoned. Those warmly
clad thought the atmosphere was glorious,
but In many homes the freezing air was
felt keenly. Coal and wood wagons were
just as busy as on Monday and the suffer-
ing is being relieved as rapidly as possible.
The charity organization reports that many
families have received attention and their
condition Is not so grave as when the first
cold blasts swept down upon them. Public
buildings were warmer yesterday and the
schools were made more comfortable.
The day was an ideal one for sleighing
and the merry jingle of bells on North
Capitol avenue sounded like an army OF
Swiss bell-ringers playing discordant notes.
Liverynlen have been overrun with orders
for bob-sleds, and the country roads will
ring with the laughte of m~errymakers
while the present weather continues.
There was great satisfaction expressed
during the day because the weather men
north and west had succeeded in side
tracking the threatened blizzard that was
bound east. The weather reports received
at the Indianapolis bureau last night
showed no signs of a blizzard for Indian
apolis and no colder weather.

HART KNOCKED OUT.
Quick Action I'm n Fistic EncOunter
Pulled Of at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. I7.-"Wild Bill
Hanrahan, of New York. defeated Marvin
Hart, of this city, in less than one round
at the Auditorium in Louisville tonight.
The knockout blow came after about one
minute and a half of fighting and was a
hard left to the stomac followed by a
right hook to the jaw. The men were
scheduled to fight a tw-enty-fve-round con-
test at catch weights, Marquis of Queens
berry rules, and from the time they
stepped into the center of the ring Hart
was a beaten man. Hanrahan started in
at once and delivered a right on the back
of Harris neck, sending him to the floor.
The Louisville man took the count and
came up groggy. Hanrahan Immediately
rushed at Hart, delivering a hard punch
to Harris stomach. This stunned the
Louisville fighter. and wild BILL" follow
ing his advantage, put a right hook to the
jaw, knocking Hart down and out.
Hanrahan had the advantage of Hart In
weight and seemed to outclass his oppo-
nent at every point. Tim Hurst was the
referee.
