COMMITTEE MAY
INCREASE GAMES
SCHEDULE FOR THE SOUTHERN
DISCUSSED AT MEETING HELD
IN MEMPHIS YEsTERDAY-No
OFFICIAL ACTION TAKEN.

Memphis, Tenn, January 23.-The sched-
ule committee of the Southern Baseball
league held meeting here today, presid-
ed over by President Kavanaugh, at
which a discussion of the schedule which
the committee is to submit to the annual
spring meeting of the league. This meet
ing has not been called, but 1t is UNDER
stood that President Kavanaugh is con-
templating calling it for some time in
March.
The meeting today was entirely prelim-
mary and no official action of Importance
was taken. 1t is believed that the COM
mittee will recommend that the season
open in the eastern portion of the league
territory on April q and on April %
among the clubs in the western portion.
The committee discussed the number Of
games that should compose the schedule
and the advisability of increasing the
number from 1876, the number played last
season, to 140. 1t may be stated that
owing to the difficulty of arranging a sat
isfactory schedule for 14O games, it is not
improbable that the committee will re-
commend the adoption of different
schedule, providing for 1876 games.

FULL DRESS UNIFORMS
A spasm of Honesty and Virtue Has
Seized Republican Members of
Congress, Shown BY lnquir-
les Into "carriage Hire"
BY wATrERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, January 23.-(Special)- y
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Harlan
of the United States supreme court called
on the President today and registered a
protest against the action of Maj. Charles
McCawley, ''the social aid to the Presi-
dent" who at the reception night before
last declined to allow the supreme court
officials to meet the President before the
diplomatic corps.
The reception was given to the judiciary
and it Is contended that the big court
should have been the first to get the de
lighted" from the President. On the other
hand Major McCalley believes the diplo-
mats representing the rulers Of the ma
tions should have precedence.
The fact that the reception was Ito the
judiciary is not considered by him as
meaning that the judiciary has the first
place in line. since it will not be contend
ed that the reception next month ito con-
gress' will place the several hundred
members and their friends ahead of the
judiciary or the diplomatic corps.
The whole affair is rather on the tempest
and teapot line anyway. White House re-
ceptions under President Roosevelt have
largely become free-for-all race. both
black and white participating.
The diplomatic corps is rather stirred
up, however, over intimations that their
members are expected to wear full dress
military uniforms at such receptions. An
intimation to the diplomatic corps Is al
ways taken as a command, and the corps
is rather shocked. The intimation grows
out of the weakness of the President for
military display. 1t is the same way over
in the war department. Officers on duty
there are compelled to sit at their desks
all day. summer and winter, in uniforms.
while under the old order of things they
wore civilian costumes.
The President Is never SO delighted as
when he sees a uniform. 1t means a
fight, and a fight means votes.

VIII Not Show Their Hand.

The republican steering committee of
congress has decided that there shall not
be any legislation this session on the tar
iff, the finance, river and harbor bill and
the shipping bill, to say nothing of the
trust measures. All of this is plain
enough for the average citizen to UNDER
stand
These republicans have not the courage
to show their hands until after the cleo
ton in November. Then when the dear
people have spoken for or against their
policies they will lift the lid off and do
their best for their friends.
The ship subsidy managers will put up
half a million to the republican cam
paign fund If the powers that be will
solemnly promise to pass the bill next
winter-and they will.

Favor the Disfranchisement.

Members of the Kentucky delegation
in congress have been caucussing on pro-

to the disfranchisement of the negro, and
all OF the democratic members announce
that they favor such legislation and they
will call on members Of the general as
sembly to enact law which will remove
the negro from politics.
They are in earnest and accord with
bills of that nature which have been in
troduced. Some of them are uncertain
as to whether the grandfather clause will
stand the test before the supreme court
of the United States. The taxation clause
would.
Tennessee and Georgia have the taxa
tion clause in their laws. The Kentucky
members will discuss the matter with
other southern members and may let the
legislature know in definite form what
the ideas of the members OF the delega-
tion are.
