received a good offer to remain in
California several days ago, and he
may decide to accept il. Iburg was
somewhat dissatisfied when he left
Philadelphia last fall. He had not
been in good health all season, and,
like White. he did not get along very
well with Jennings. 1t is certain that
had the latter been 1>etained for the
coming season, Iburg would have re-
fused to come back, but under
changed conditions he may be induced
to try Philadelphia again next sum-

through. He says: @rhe New York
Club was hot after BurlSett last fall
and it may have him now if it pays
the price. For some reason or other
Burkett is not popular with st. Louis
crowds, and does not get the credit
due him, although he is one of our

Fight in the Senate

The most exciting incident since
Congressman Hal Flood, then a
State Senator, struck Senator
Flanagan over the head with a
cane on the floor of the Senate,
took place in that body Thursday
last during the discussion of the
Mann liquor bill. Judge Mann, a
gray-bearded veteran of sixty
years, became incensed at the
remarks of Senator Julian Bryant,
CT Richmond, and from his seat,
directly in front, struck him vio-
lently. Mr.. Bryant was off his
guard, but threw up his arm and
caught the blow on it. The affair
was later settled peaceably.
Mr.. Bryant was speaking to his
amendment to exempt counties
contiguous to cities from the
provisions of the Mann act. He
charged that Judge Mann had
been unfair in his argument, and
quoted the two lines
Il thought that all your wiles would
end
In feigned religions smooth hypo-
crisy".
This angered Judge Mann. He
arose and asked Mr. Bryant if he
referred to him personally, and,
understanding that the answer
was in the affirmative, the blow
came quickly. Both later expressed
bheir regret at the occurrence, and
the incident was closed.
