WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Labor unions seem to have relinquished
their purpose to punish men who join the
national guard. Apparently this effort to
discipline members who join the national
guard has been confined to one case in
New York, where the courts have de-
cided that union man has the right
to join the national guard and at the
same time retain his m enbership In the
union. The adjutant general Of New
York says that since this decision no new
cases have been reported, notwithstand-
ing there was recently much talk OF
wholesale attempts to withdraw all union
laborers from the guard. Commenting on
this situation, the Army and Navy Jour
nal a leading military publication, says:
This is a good sign and must be taken as an
indication that the labor leaders now recognize
the necessity and legitimacy of the militia sys-
TEN. 1t was unfair to the military body to seek
to array it in opposition to organized labor.
There was no reason to consider the two as enc
mics. The militiaman is in fact. the strongest
friend Of the laboring man in his best estate,
since labor leaders do not always take a COM
medable attitude in opposition to violence and
destruction, which should have no part in the
effort to obtain the rights Of those who work for
a living.
John Mitchell, who is the ablest of the labor
leaders, recently praised the work of the Penn
sylvania militia for its conduct during the great
anthracite coal strike a year ago. and that
occasion he encouraged and aided the efforts of
the state sOldiery in the preservation of law and
order. 1t is the most gratifying to hear, there
fore, from the adjutant general Of New York
that the labor unions Of the state, and presum-
ably of all other sections of the country, have
accepted the decision Of the court so gracefully.

RECORD IS THROWN OUT
LOU DIILON'S MARK OF 2:O5 TO A
HIGH WHEELED SUIKY WILL
NOT BE ALLOWED.

New York, Jan. S.-The subcom-
mittee of the National Trotting asso-
citation yesterday decided to disallow
Lou billions record Of 2:05, to a high
sulky, made at Cleveland, Sept. IL last.
This decision was reached after a e
hours discussion by the committee,
which was composed Of the presidents
of the National Trotting association,
the American Trotting association and
the American Trotting Register asso-
citation.
Their findings follow:
I'VE find that the performance Of
Lou Dillon at Cleveland, Ohio, Sept.
u, 1908, in 2:05 to a high-wheeled,
ball-bearing sulky, with a pacemaker,
with dirt shield in front, was not a
record, because the mare had prev
iously performed in faster time, which
performance was her record, and pre-
Guided a slower performance being a
record.
1--WE also find that the performance
of Maud S., at Cleveland, Ohio, in
1885, was to a high-wheeled, plain
axle, according to rules; that the time,
2:0SA, was not only her best time, but
the best time ever made up to that
date and was a record"
In regard to the use of wind shields.
the committees finding is as follows:
No record can be made with a
wind shield other than the ordinary
dirt shield and pacemaker in front.
"a performance with a pacemaker
in front, with dirt shield, shall be re-
corded with a distinguishing mark, re-
ferring to a note stating the facts
Major P. P. Johnston of Lexington,
KY, believes that various records of
horses made the past season with the
assistance Of wind shields" will be
thrown out. Such horses as Major
Delmar and Prince Alert are included

ship inventors who will put their the
cries to practical tests this year. Two
of the devices are nearing completion
and have been granted patents and q
patent Will be applied for for the third
within short time. The Inventors
are Engineer Nyberg, o. Montaigne
The Nyberg machine consists of
long parallel tubes with two pairs Of
wings or aeroplanes which are de-
signed to raise the vessel by the resis-
lance of the air. Two propellers which
which are to be driven at the rate of
1000 revolutions per minute, supply
the power. The model has a carry
ing strength of IS ky, and has cost
Hr. Nyberg two years Of work and
5000 kr.
Montaigne's ship consists of a long
aluminium hull, which is to be ex-
hausted of air, fitted with two wings,
which will move up and down. Power
will be supplied by eight air turbines.
1t has steering apparatus connected
with the turbines. In descending the
wings act somewhat as parachutes.
The inventor will heat the air in the
aluminium hull to increase it's light
! ness.
The utmost secrecy surrounds the
plans of Captain Unge, who is a
famous aeronaut, but it is understood
| that they are so far advanced that a
patent may be sought at any time. 1t
is understood that all three machines
will be displayed at the worlds fair.

LITERARY CENSORSHIP
Russia Will Establish One in Finland,
Adding Another Burden,


The Russian law relating to the
forbidden literature is to be applied to
Finland and all persons arriving in
or travelling in Finland are subjected
to most rigid examination. Nearly
all literature in foreign languages, in
Guiding many of the classics and all
Russian, Polish Or Finnish publica-
tons printed outside of Russia, is on
the prohibited list.
The director general of customs,
Colonel Borgenstrom, has issued a cir
cular which has been sent out not only
to all the custom houses, but even to
the guards of the coast, requesting
them to employ the most rigid meth
DDS in the performance of their duties
ture getting into the country.
AS the introduction of such litera-
ture, the circular states, seems to con-
tinue, it is possible that at least a part
of it is being struggled in by means
of misleading the custom officials
such as the sticking of printed matter
into different kinds of bags, boxes and
packages, which by their outward
signs are supposed to contain certain
common articles of import, like flour,
grain, raisins, apples, etc. The GUS
tom officials are therefore especially
directed to. observe the rules.
Finally, the promise, which will
probably be an effective bait, is held
out that any custom officials or other
assistants who, by ingenuity and a
sense of duty, prove themselves sue
cessful in detecting forbidden litera-
ture may count upon the special rec
ognitlon and money compensat ton
from the director general.
The circular itself is a sorrowful in
dication of the success of the Russian
propaganda. It's author, as appears
from the name, is himself of Swedish
descent, and comes from the people
who otherwise generally belong to the
most liberal and progressive party, and
are the most strenuous opponents to
the Russianization of the country.

SPLIT AMONG COLLEGES
WISCONSIN AND ILLINOIS MAY
BREAK OFF ATHLETIC REIA-
TIONs-ROW OVER GATE RE-
CEIPTS.
New York Sun Special Service.

Madison, Wis, Jan. S.-All athletic
relations between the Universities of
Illinois and Wisconsin will be broken
off if the former does not pay the
latter one-half of the gate receipts of
the game which ended in a disagree
ment at Champaign last spring. The
athletic board has instructed Man
ager G.. II. Fitzpatrick to use his judg-
nlent in the matter, and to sever all
relations with the institution if he
thinks best. Fitzpatrick expects to be
able to confer with Coach Huff Of
Illinois on the matter within a few
days, and, if a satisfactory settlement
can be reached, the severance Of rela-
tons will not occur.
If the break comes the intercol-
legiate baseball league will be dis
rupted, and each university will ar
range it's own schedule Of games as
it may desire. The break would also
do away with the annual track meet
between the two universities.
Wisconsin claims one-half Of the
receipts of the game because she be-
lieves she is justly entitled to it. Illi-
nois takes the position that the rules
Of the national league should gov
ern. These give the entire receipts
to the team in whose favor the game
is declared forfeited. The amount
of money involved is small, only about
5000, but Wisconsin believes that in
holding cut for her share Of the
money she is sticking up for a prin-
ciple.

FOX SIGNED
FOR CAPTAIN
CRAFTY INFIELDER WILL IEAI
THE 1904 NIILLERs.
President Watkins Should Give the
Fans Fast Team This Yeai-Has
Deals on for a Number Of Fast Men
Minneapolis Great Baseball
Town.

Manager Watkins of the Minneapo-
lis baseball team believes he will be
able to give Minneapolis a winning
team this year. He has deals on for
number of high class players, whose
names will be announced as soon as
the men have fixed their names to
contracts Up to date he has secured
Pitcher Bailey and Catcher Roach
from Columbus in exchange for Vas
binder and Yeager, and has signed
Billy Fox, second baseman of last
years indianapolis team, to play in the
infield and captain the millers.
The esteem in which Watkins holds
Fox is shown by the price paid for
him-$3,000. For some time Fox was
flirting with the Pacific coast outlaw
league, which offered him $2400 for
the season. Last Saturday, how
ever, Fox decided to cast his lot
again with Watkins. Fox was one Of
the fastest basemen in the league last
year, practically his only rival being
Miller Higgins Of st. Paul. In addi-
ton, the new miller captain is recog-
nized as one of the headiest players
and craftiest leaders in the business.
He is a daring and successful base
runner, as we'll as good fielder, and
altho not a strong sticker, will be a
most valuable man for the team.
Harvey Bailey should strengthen the
team in the pitching department.. He
twirled for the millers in 1900, and
won a good majority Of his games,
altho he was with a tail-end aggrega-
lion. Roach is a good backstop and
a hard worker.
Watkins also says that Stimmel is
still on the Minneapolis reserve list,
and that Cantillon of Milwaukee is
reckoning without his host when he
puts the 'Pelican'' on his list of play
ers for 1904. Cantillon also has
claimed Middle Schaefer of st. Paul,
altho that player was traded by Kelly
to Indianapolis for O'Brien. All the

Minnesota may play Nebraska uni
versity at football on Northrop field
next season. The cornhuskers are
anxious to meet the gophers again,
and DIR. Williams, the Minnesota

question of game with Michigan
will not affect the proposed meeting

Nebraska and Minnesota have met
three times on the gridiron. The first
game was played at Nebraska, in

of 20 to II. In 1901, on Northrop

good use is being made Of the reports of
Major Frank de L. Darlington, First in
fantry, who has command of the battalion
OF Philippine soldiers destined for service
at the st. Louis exposition It has been
recommended by officers in the Philip
pines that an efficient insular army of
natives could be organized and that the
regular American white troops could, un-
der well adjusted plan, be reduced for
all arms to an effective force of not more
than 5000. 1t is significant that in the
recommendations ands representations
made to the war department in this con-
nection emphasis is placed on the fact
that the native army should be organized
and maintained with every avoidance of
favoritism and politics. Such an army
too, must be Differed in the grades of

American officers. It is probable that
some such plan ultimately will be pre-.

BRANDES EARLY CAREER

l1etl " ElCS.
DR.. George Brandes, now such a
favorlte in Denmark, was not always
a public idol. In his early youth he
was In fact practically banished in the
early seventies for the ardor with
which he preached friendship for
Germany. The seizure of SchIeswig
and Holstein by Prussia in 1854 was
still fresh in the minds Of the people
and the loss was deeply felt.
With an eye to the future Brandes
told his countrymen they could not
exist without the protection of their
great neighbor. He was prosecuted
and rev1led and at last fled his native
country, first to France, then to Ger
many. Later years he spent in Po-
land, Russia and Italy SO that he has
been a student of half dozen Of the
great countries of Europe. He has
contributed critical impressions and
historical essays to the literature of
each country and his greatest work,
Main Currents of Literature Of the
Nineteenth Century deals with the
modern world. During the years of
exile from Denmark, DR.. Brandes be-
came one Of the intellectual figures of
Europe. His country people forgot
his early propaganda and since his re-
turn to Copenhagen in 1902 he has
been proclaimed a great patriot and
their highest genius.
