Peace Conference Date.
rs st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-Negotia,
tions for the peace conference have
taken an important step forward, a
spropositio forGthe date Of the meet.

Ing Of the plenlpOte aries sat:ts ash
sus
stion rhe exact date proposed has
not been scertained, but there is reas-
S son to suppose that it is some time
during the first week or ten days Of
August, which is about the earliest
period at which the Japanese repre-
sentatives could be expected to reach
Washington.
The Emperor's answer is not ex-
pacted for day or two, as the diplo-
matte mills of Russia grind slowly, and
the Foreign Office, as one Of the Sec
retaries put it, "is not used to your
hustling American Methods" but it is
thought tharSthe date will be satisfac-
tory, as it Will give ample time for NJ
Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador at
Paris, or other Russian negotiators,
to reach Washington, and there will
be little preliminary work for them
to do until the japanese terms are
submitted.
Whether the proposal regarding the
date originated at Toxic or at Wash
ington, cannot be learned, but the fact
that the negotiations was conducted
through Ambassador Meyer may indi.
cate that President Roosevelt has per-
Fps again stepped to the fore and
-sested to the two powers, neither
of whom are willing to take the initia-
tive, suitable date.

GEORGE WASHINGTON WON.
Defeated Sixth Presbyterians in a
Short Game.

In six-inning game on University Field
yesterday afternoon the George Washing
ton University base ball team defeated the
Sixth Presbyterian Church League nine by
to 3. 1t was an easy game for the COL
legians, as they hit the ball hard, and, as
sisted by the errors Of the town boys. they
scored almost at will.
The feature of the game was the good
pitching of Thomas. who will prove a
strong twirler for the buff and blue before
the season Is over. He has plenty of speed
and shows fine control. He allowed only
two hits. and had he been backed up per-
fect1y 1t Is doubtful whether a hit would
have been made off him, as both of the safe
drives came after the side should have
BEEN retired. Gordon also pitched well,
striking out seven of the college boys.
George Washington has hard schedule
ahead this week. The team will line UP
against Pennsylvania State College Tues
day on University Field. and q fine game is
expected. The next day, at the American
League Fart, the bur and blue will take a

much interested in The outcome of bill
that has been prepared for introduction in
the legislatureVof Fnnnsylvania The bill
originated with the Automobile Club of
Philadelphia. it Is said, and its provisions
the chauffeur evil they also strike at the
missile thrower, who by the way, has be-
come much of a nuisance in the suburbs of
this city as well as in Philadelphia The
pennsylvania measure aims, too, at the
careless persons who cast lacks and break
bottles and other glassware on the road
ways. This feature is, however, happily
covered by the police regulations in the
District of Columbia, which make such
practices misdemeanor. punishable by fine
or Imprisonment when the culprit Is con-
victed in the Police Court.
The section of the Pennsylvania bill aimed
at chauffeurs who take out the cars of
their owners without the permission of the
latter Is as follows:
1T is hereby enacted that any person or
persons taking, using or operating any
motor vehicle, properly registered under the
laws OF this state without first securing
the consent of the owner thereof, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof shall be sentenced to pay
fine not exceeding 500 and undergo i'm
prisonment not exceeding ninety days"
The second clause provides as penalty
a line OF not more than $1,000 and i'm
prisonment not exceeding three years to be
imposed on any person who shall will
fully and malciously east throw or cause
to rail- on, into strike against any motor
Vehlcle, properly registered under the laws
of this state, any wood, stone or other mat

clousiy cast, throw cause to fall into or
upon any of the Travelled roadways of the
state any tacks, glass, wood, stone or
other obstruction, with intent to injure such
motor vehicle or to endanger the safety of
the occupant or occupants thereof"

The Automobile Season.

Some ten or twelve years ago spring was
distinguished chiefly as the dawn of the
bicycle season. The nation was possessed.
it's thoughts were concentrated on the
time when the country roads would be
passable to wheel riders, and each individual
rider made all life subsidiary to his prepa-
rations for new runs and his dreams of the
pleasure they were to give him.
AS automobiles make considerably larger
demands upon the purse than bicycles, the
absorption in them is not SO general, but 1t
is of much the same kind. Those who can
afford to buy them regard the season with
an ecstasy of anticipation which is easy to
understand, and the interest that is ex-
cited bids fair to be an abiding one after
the first craze has passed. This is apparent
from the present promise of the machines.
They require no effort from the pleasure
seeker while holding out the most alluring
prospects to him. He may travel at double
the speed of the fastest horses to delightful
country hooks many miles from his home
and return the same day. He may take
long vacation tours, and in this phase of
the recreation there is rapidly growing
interest.

LAUREL BADLY BEATEN,
The Commissioners Easily Won From
the Maryland Team.

LAUREL. Md, April 1.-The Commits
sioners Base Ball Club of Washington de-
feated the local team in a one-sided con-
test here this afternoon, the score being 20
to at the end of the ninth inning in favor
of the visitors.
A. large crowd of local enthusiasts saw
the home team go down in defeat at the
hands of the strong team that Capt. Coli
flower has whipped together.
The visitors started their run-getting at
once, seven tallies being the result Of their
initial trip to the bat
The home team was unable to do any
thing with the delivery of Tommie Can't
well, and for the five innings he pitched
only two hits were made.
A hit and wild throw to first gave the
locals run in the fourth.
Handiboe relieved Cantwell in the sixth
and four runs were made by Laurel in that
inning, but after that they could not get a
man over the circuit.
Cantwell's box work and the heavy hit
ting of the visitors were features of the
game The score:
