.SNOWSHOE RACER
MAKES NEW RECORD

Two new amateur records on snow
shoes were made on Central Park ball
grounds yesterday by Lewis e. Rouse.
Jr, of the Lachine Snowshoe Club, of
Montreal. The distances for which
Rouse made new marks were at lOo
yards and a quarter of mile.
Rouse ran the 100 yards in II l-a
seconds, lowering the Iorlner record,
held by j. G. Ross, of the Toque Blsue
Club. OF Canada, by half "a second. When
the record breaking time was announced
the crowd about the track broke into Q
cheer. To most of those VINO saw the
races the scene was novel and the time
made on the shoes surprising. They
could not seem to realize that the diff
ference between the worlds record for
100 yards on foot and 100 yards on snow
shoes was a mere two seconds. For the
quarter-ILile event Rouse also made new
figures at l minute and 4 seconds fiat.
This Is one second better than the Ior-
mer time for the quarter-mile.
Runner Rouse failed to create q rec
ord for the half-mile race and went one
second above the record set bv Thomas
Moffat at Montreal away back in 1894:
Rouse's time for the half mile was
r>'rutns "a seconds.

BERLIN, Jan. 30.-A prolonged liti-
cation wherein the propriety of an
upper teacher in a high school wearing
a red necktie was the issue, came to
an end today at Plauen, Saxony, by
the court deciding that such cravat
is at least undignifed. even if not in
tended by the wearer as a socialistic
emblem.
DR.. Weidauer, the offender in ques-
ton, wore a red tie. as he ayers, in
advertently, to a school picnic, and
thereupon the Plauen AnzeiZer criti-
cised him severely as an improper
person to teach the youth of the city.
He sued for damages and the court.
In deciding against Dr. Weidauer, said
the editor was quite within his func-
tions when he disapproved of red
neckwear, which in Germany is consid-
cred to indicate revolutionary princi-
pies on the part of the wearer.

Mrs. MaybriclS, accompanied by one
of the prison matrons entered closed

ton, where she took train for Lon
don. She drove from Euston station
and from there went to a private house
not far from the metropolis. She will
remain there for q short period to re-

certain formalities which will give her
a freedom of movement not allowed by
persons on ordinary ticket-of-leave.
Mrs. Maybrick, the paper concludes,
during the last few months in prison

This story is not confirmed.

approval to Mr.. Foraker's plan for a
fight in the Ohio primaries and in the
state convention.
Foraker Is Chiefly for Foraker.
Mr. Hanna's friends declare that this
is foolish thing for the president to
do, for, they say, Mr.. Foraker is not
so much for Roosevelt as he. is for
Foraker, and that the president is be-
ing made a tool of. 1t is said further
that the president is merely the handle
by which Mr.. Foraker hopes to fight
successful fight for his own supremacy
in Ohio politics.
The test Is coming in the appoint
ment of postmasters at Lima and Ma
poleon. These are minor offices, and
although the two senators are urging
different candidates, they care much
less about the candidates than they do
about the effect of success or defeat,
on account of it's influence on the ques-
ton of party leadership in Ohio.
President Roosevelt sees before him
an especially perplexing dilemma. The
fight in Ohio is already hot enough.
but if the president should recognize
either senator in the matter of these
appointments, the effect would be cleo
trical. 1t has been suggested by some
disinterested person that Senator Han
mas man should be appointed at one
place and Senator Foraker's at the
other. 1t is doubtful, however, If this
sort of compromise would improve
matters very much. 1t is probable that
these postmasters will not be appoint
ed for some time, and meanwhile the
party fight will go on.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3d.
Only one ray of hope lights UP the
gloom in which members of the house
of representatives have been plunged
by the loss of their mileage" allow
ance today, and that is the promise
that the senate will restore the item
of $145,000 when the urgency def1cten-
cy bill goes to that end of the capitol.
Senators do not relish the prospect
of thus being deprived of this little
plum by the Democratic members of
the house. They are so accustomed to
these perquisites that they argue that
it makes no difference that they did
not travel mile, and that there was
no recess between the sessions in which
to travel They say this is practically
a way of paying them a larger salary,
and they are entitled to 1t. For Cali
fornia members 1t means nearly $1,000
apiece.
The Republicans in the house were
forced into passing the amendment by
the action of the minority. The latter
voted to strike out the appropriation,
and the Republicans feared the matter
would become a campaign Issue and
they would be accused of taking
mileage grab against the unanimous
protests Of the Democrats.
Representative Tawney did what he
could to save his colleages, and, being
in the chair, ruled that the paragraph
was properly part of the bill and need
not be stricken out on a point of or
der. Then his colleagues got Anto a.
panic and deserted him shamelessly
when Representative Underwood
moved to strike 1t out and all rushed
to get through the tellers who were
called to take the count Unfortu-
nately, there was no roll call to make
a record vote. Representative Under
wood (Dem) is the only man who op-
posed the item in the appropriations
committee, Mr.. McCleary, of Mime
sofa, who Is on the committee, giving
it his support.
Fred Stevens announced privately
that he believed the members were le-
gally entitled to the mileage, and said
he did not propose to be stampeded by
the cry of politics, and he kept his
word, refraining from voting even after
Grosvenor had Joined the majority and
voted contrary to his speech John
Lind believes also that the appropria-
ton was authorized by law and that a
larger measure of moral courage would
have kept Republican as we'll as Dem
ocratic members from giving up what
is theirs by right.
