LEE AND POWELL TWIRLERS

The Senators demonstrated yesterday
that once in a great while they are
capable of playing good ball. by defeat
ing ST. Louis. in fifteen-inning contest,
to 0. In the second game, however,
the visitors fell back into the error Of
their ways. and lost mediocre game.
Z to 2
Such is baseball, and 1t would be al
most too much to ask OF Ban Johnson's
men to win two games In one afternoon,
especially when the first was a record
/ breaker.
Mastery Box Work.
Lee and Powell were the slabmen, and
all the credit for the superb contest Is
entirely due to their mastery pitching.
For fourteen innings they served I'D
their rare assortment OF benders so we'll
diversified that neither team was able to
hit the ball when hits meant runs St
Louis made ten hits of Wyatt, while the
Senators could only connect safely with
the ball six times. Yet in the fifteenth
inning Little" Robinson, who played
right, slammed out a double. Jimmy
Ryan followed with a bunt to third. Wal
lace let Hits quick throw get away
from him and Robbie" was safely
perched on third. Bill Clarke than
lifted a high one to Heidrick, and The
Rabbit" chased home with the only ami
winning run.
But Two Passes.
In the fifteen innings only forty nine
batsmen went to the rubber, and of
these one was given free transportation
TO first base six made hits ten famed
the air. and the rest went out on easy
TAGS.
Although Wallace's tumble was costly.
he gave the Browns three chances to win
the game In the seventh inning the
great little shortstop smashed one of
Lees benders up against the center
field fence, but his team mates left him
TO founder on second. In the ninth
inning Wallace singled with only one
out. but Heidrick and Hill again proved
themselves unequal to the task OF bring
Ing him home. In the thirteenth In
ming Wallace again singled with only one
gone. but Heidrick and Hill did no bet
ter than on previous chances, and for
the third time Wallace was stranded. !

to end matters
The second game was pitched by Orth I

at VIII by the rejuvenated Browns.

trict Commissioners.

Vehicles, Buildings and
Sidewalks
Mr.. MACFARLAND'S VICTORY

The Board of District Commissioners
today took up the proposed splitting
ordinance ard adopted it.
Commissioner Macfarland. who has
been the champion Of The proposed law
fer two years. brought he matter 10 the
attention Of his associates, saying that
the Board had now all the facts before
1t. He offered a motion shat the regu-
Iation be adopted. and after a few re-
marks on the part of the other mem
beTs Of the Boar5 the vote which was
unanimous. was taken
The regulation Is in the form Of an
amendment 10 Article Y. section 80. Of
the Police Regulations. which prohibits
expectoration in street cars. public We
hicles, and on tho floors of public build
ings- The amendment adds the word
sidewalks" to the prohibition. and pre-
seribes a fine Of not less than 81 nor
more than $40 for each odense.
Commissioner MacfarIand has been
impressed with the wisdom OF such d
regulation ever since he mas been in
Office. Such a rule was proposed twl
years ago. and voted down by his COL
leagues. the late Commissioner Ross.
and Captain Beach. then Engineer Com
missioner. The proposed measure was
revived d few months ago in a communi-
cation from the Health Officer. and It has
been under advisement since that
time. A week or two ago there was a
public hearing on the subject. al which
strong presentations were made in favor
of the ordinance. and equally strong
against H. The Commission
ers have also received a great number
OF letters from citizens urging the adoD-
tion Of the regulation.
Commissioner West has not been much
impressed with the need Of the law or
its efficacy, but today he said ne would
cast his vote for It, and give the ordi-
nance a trial. He said the physicians
seemed to be pretty well agreed that he
prohibition would lessen the number OF
cases Of consumption. and the public
seemed 10 desire the regulation He said
he would not stand in the way OF fair

holds that in order TO gain his attention

an ambassador. This Government. how-
ever, cannot raise its representative 10
an ambassadorship until the Turkish

REDUCED REVENUE
UNDER INCREASED TAX.
Oieo Yields Less Than a Quarter
OF Amount Under Old Law.

When howl was set up year ago
for pure food. particularly dairy prod
ucts. and as a consequence Congress. en-
acted Law May .. 1902. increasing the
tax on oIeomargarfne from , to 10 cents
a pound the public had little idea Of
what changes would be made in reve-
nues.
Many predicted the revenues would be
doubled and scGe placed the figures far
beyond that point Few considered the
possibility CT decrease. and no one
thought the receipts would be only about
one-quarter what they were under the
old law. Yet that is the case
Startling as this statement may seem
10 those who have taken an interest in
figures OF this character. it is borne OF.
by rahle prepared by the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue For some time
internal revenue collectors have known
that there was to be great falling of
in the receipts, but even Commissioner
Yerkes was not prepared for such q
showing as is made.
Under the old law when oIaomargaria.
was taxed at the rate OF . cents (. poaua
and special sax Of SIS a year was pail
by the retailer and $3.50 a yea by the
wholesaler the receipts from taxes on
product were S1.4SS. .952. 20: from special
taxes. S424.509.53. OF a total Of $. .gaS. r.
46l.73- The receipts quoted are for the
eight months from July l. 1901. - Feb
ruary Is. 1902.
IN comparison with the foregoing
figures the receipts for the eight months
from July 1. 1902. to February %. 1903
were $163. .729.3S for oIeomargafjae taxed
under the new law at 10 cents pound
and SI24.S09.S4 for the product taxed at
Cne-q quarter of a cent pound.
IN explanation of the taxation IT the
two rates it may be said thar under the
new law il is only olemargarins con-
tanning coloring matter In order to gre
the product the appearance Of butter
that is assessed the higher rate while
the white oleomargarine is. assessed only
at cne-quarter of cent.
The retailer OF the latter product is
compelled to Pay S6 a year license and
the wholesaler 500 a year No change is
made by the new law in the license 10 be
paid by the dealer in the yellow olco
margarine
The receipts from special tax in the
eight months last mentioned aggregated
Sz37, ,564-G5, making the receipts from al
sources under the new law 1926, ,103. 81.
or a decrease of 81. .3S9. .257.S6.
The revenue collectors have found that
the consumption Of oleomargarine under
the new law is less than one-tweIfth
what is was under the old law. In the
eight months last mentioned only 5.OO0.-
goo pounds was taxed while under the
old law 74.oO0. 900 pounds was taxed. Nat
urally the number of retailers has pro
