SUNDAY To BE
MEMORIAL DAY
Congress Inaugurates FIX
pertinent of Holding
Services Oh Sabbath.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 25.-
The house of representatives today In
augurated the experiment of holding
berS on the Sabbath. 1t will be fol-
lowed hereafter during this session and
probably will become the general prac-
tice In the house in the future
Heretofore, except on very rare oc-
casions, the house has broken in on it's
executive work Friday and Saturday
to listen to eulogies on deceased mem
berS, but the time has seldom been
propltious, and lately the practice has
been meeting with growing disfavor.
On account of the pressure of public
business at this session it was decided
to hold these memorial services on
Sunday, and during the course of their
eulog1eS today several members took
occasion to voice their commendation
OF the innovation and to express their
opinion that it should be followed in
the future.
At the session today tribute was paid
to the life and public services Of the
late Representative Russell, of Con-
necticut, and Shepherd and De Graf
fenreid, of Texas, each of whom died
during the congressional recess. The
attendance in the galleries was quite
large. and there was numerous as
Semblage or the friends of the de-
ceased members on the floor.
The following members paid tribute
to the memory of Mr.. Russell: Messrs.
Branege (Conn.), Capron Or. u, Sper-
ry (Conn.), Hill Comm, Henry
(Conn), Payne IN. ", Mcclellan IN.
W, Dalzell (Pa-), Grosvenor (Ohio)
and Mccall (Mass,).
Those who eulogized Mr.. Shepherd
were: Messrs. Henry CTex.), Brantley
(Ga.), Ball CTeX.), Randall (Tex.), Bur-
Lesson (Tex.) and Feely all.).
Those who eulogized Mr.. De Graffen-
reid were: Messrs. Russell (Tex.),
Stephens (Tex) and Kleberg (Tex.).
At 2:55, as a further mark of re-
spect, the house adjourned.

SEMI-PR0FESSIONALS OF
CHICAGO ORGANIZING
Adjacent Villages Complete a Ten Club
League.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-At a meeting
here today of members of star semi
professional baseball teams of Chicago
and nearby towns, an organization Of
what will be known as the Interstate
Baseball league was effected. Towns
in Wisconsin and Illinois, with five
clubs to be located in Chicago, will
make up the circuit
A temporary organization was form
ed at the meeting, and the names of
the clubs and towns to comprise the
circuit announced. The five clubs to
make Chicago their homes are the
Spaldings, Gunthers, Marquettes, Ath--
letes and the M. & D. Ranges. The out
of-toWn clubs will be the Elgin, Auro-
ra and Sycamore, of Illinois, and the
Kenosha and Racine of Wisconsin
This ten club circuit will stand only
temporarily. 1t is the desire of the
men back of the league to have a
twelve-club circuit, and it is believed
two additional clubs will be listed at
the next meeting, which will be held
on Feb. 8.

Governor -Committal.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 25-Henry M.
Teller, who was elected for his sixth
term in the United States senate to-
day, at joint legislative session, left
the city last night for his country place
at Grand Junction.
Gov. Peabody, who went to Canyon
City to spend Sunday at home, was
passenger on the same train. The two
distinguished citizens met on the train
and Gov. Peabody extended congratu-
lattons to the senator.
My election, l feel sure, was per-
fectly legal and regular" said Senator
Teller, IN conversation with his friends,
for succeeded in getting the ma
Jority vote Of both houses. I am en-
titled to a certificate from the gov
ernor and shall expect it, but If I fail
to secure gubernatorial credentials, I
shall be able to take my case before
the senate, nevertheless"
When asked If he would sign a GER
tificate Of election for Senator Teller,
Gov. Peabody replied:
II will cross that bridge when come
to It,"
1t is understood, however that the
governor will be in no haste to act in
the matter, but will allow full time
for the determination of all issues be-
fore he signs a certificate for any per-
son. The Colorado senator's term does
not begin before March 4 next, and he
is not likely to need a certificate before
congress assemblies next November,
unless an executive session is called.

Republicans will not recognize Teller's
election.
In my opinion" he says, 'the eleo-
ton was Illegal and no attention will
be paid to 1t by the state administra-
ton or either Of the factions OF the
Republican party. The election is void
for the reason that the proper officers
did not preside over the session"
