1t is narrated of him that only

good stead. 1t was in the majors
student days, wren he was in attend
ance at Queens university, Kings
ton, Ontario. A football match was
in progress between Queens and To-
ronto universities for the champion
ship of Canada. Robertson was play
ing center/ for Queens. Opposed to
him Was bury Toit uto man noted
for his treacherou5 playing. Time
and again when the bail wast%dowI"
this man had jumped upon Robertson
in an eude%vor to put him out. Final
ly, becoming emboldened by reason Of
Robertsoa's apparent docility, the To-
ronto player in one Of the scrimnagcs
deliberately kicked Robertson in the
stomach.
Then the giant rose. Calmly, but
with dangerous light in his eye, ne
strobe to the offender and just as
calmly no picked him UP, lifted him
high overhead and held him there for
a moment. The spectators stood
amazed. expecting eve : moment to
see the offender dash 10 the ground.
While they waited ROBERTSON spied.
not dozen yards away, a large pool
of water, for the game was being
played in a pouring rain. To it he
nonchalantly marched, bearing aloft
his struggling within, and with the
greatest elaboration he dropped the
unfortunate with a resounding splash
into the dirty water.
Then, smiling conteptedly, he re-
turned to the play amid the applause
Of the spectators.
Incidentally a substitute appeared
in the stead of the Toronto player,
says the New York Tines. And, in
cidentally. too, it was Robertson's
touchdown that won the game for his
university.

Mr. Thurber. who has been before the

TO extend the powers of the Interstate

he represented the sentiment II not the
organizations of all the exporters OF the

Representative Stewart of New Jersey
and Representative Corliss created con-
siderable amusement by questioning Mr..

the fact that its capital7consisted of $500.
its membership was intangible. and as

said he differed from hts predecessors
somewhat In regard 20 the amount nf tax
from which the most revenue could i've Sc

Without directly saying so Mr.. Serhcs

Edison Bradley. president of the Ken

pary, president of the American Spirits

dent of the Distilling Company of Ameri-

by liberal reduction in the tax the use
Of alcohol in arts and manufactures would
be greatly increased. to the advantage of
American manufacturers.
Many manufactured articles containing
alcohol were now imported because Of the
high internal revenue tax.

orable reports were ordered. One was the

tax for the license year ending October

about $500.
Mr.. West Steever was before the COM

of the bill
The committee directed Mr.. Mercer to
prepare an amendment to the smoke law
SO as ito permit dark gray smoke to issue
from chimneys for period not exceeding
three minutes" This, it is believed. will
meet the objection raised by. the street

enable them to equip their plants with

FAvORS METRIC SYSTEM.
House Committee on Coinage Hears Eng
lish Scientist, Lord Kelvin.

Lord Kelvin. the English scientist. al
Mr.. George b. Westinghouse were heard
yesterday by the House Committee on
Coinage. Weights. and Measure in advo-
cacy of the bill just reported by that COM
mittee to substitute the metric system for
the standard now employed in the United
States.
Lord Kelvin expressed himself as being
heartily in favor Of the proposed change.
He had hoped, he said, that England
would take the lead in this matter. but
II 1t would not be wanted the honor to fall
to this country. believing that England
would follow suit. He was much pleased
with the proposition that suitable time be
allowed for the adoption Of the metric
system before II became effective.
Mr.. Westinghouse. whose guest Lord
Kelvin is. also Endorsed the metric sys-
tenn. In his opinion. however. 1t would
take at least ten years for the people to
become thoroughly familiar with the
change. He was satisfied 1t would be-
come popular.
