letter has been written to President
Thomas C. Noyes, of the Washington
baseball team. asking him TO give Far
ley a chance to pull the Senator's out of
last place. His wonderful grip has also
been recommended to President Roose-
welt as a means of squeezing some
money out of the Sultan of Turkey. An
other job for him would be to get a
lever and pry washington open enough
to allow boxing matches here.

F FARLEY HERE AGAIN
TO FIND MATCHES
Exhibited in That Dear
Lancaster County, Va.
T0LERABLE HARD TIMES
Strong Man Wants to Make Quite
Parcel of Money-Pretty Peart
as Litter.

Back to the woods for Samson Little,
j. s. Farley, champion strong man,
has arrived in town again from that
dear Lancaster county, Va.
After has abortive trip to New York
en- route for Europe, which wound up
in taking peep at the steamers. sailing
out of HoDoken, the mighty Farley be-
took himself to the seclusion of Merry
Point. in that dear county upon which
he has reflected so much credit and
glory by his prodigious feats of strength.
He gave exhibitions at White Stone,
Kilmarnock, Irvington, and other CEN
ters of rural activity and lucre. and
admissions.
Pretty Peart Litter
At Lancaster Courthouse he met the
redoubtable Warner Ball. who has al
ways been reckoned pretty peart as a
strong man, but Mr. Ball proved no
match for Farley, who easily won the
match and quite a passel Of dollars by
lifting two Bags of shot off the counter
in the store with his middle finger and
holoing them out at full length for right
many seconds.
Farley said he recnoned he could carry
more whisky on his back than any other
ran in Virginia, bat he admits there
ere lot of fellows down there who can
carry more OF Il in their stomachs, and
as he likes to be champion or nothing
he has consistently eschewed the de-
mon rum and is in first class condition.
Right Hard Times.
The muscular Virginian now weighs
200 pounds, but is SO compactly built that
he does not look near as big as Frank
Portable circumstances, but these are
right hard times and Farley certainly
would like to get a match with some
other husky athlete in the lifting line.
He doesn't care what the conditions are.
He will do any old thing. He will under
take to lift mortgage or a ton Of coal
it's all the same to him. Last week he
pushed loaded freight car 175 feet and
next December is going to push a bill
through Congress- 1t is this versatility
and all round ability which hras caused
himself and the folks down home to
think that he is more than middlin'
strong.
Speaking OF lifting, Farley is thinking
.. about elevating the stage. He has an
few points from some of the stone
breaking. chain-snapping. bell-ringing
buck boys over there and go on the road
with a show. This will give him a
chance to display his strength for the
benefit of the rising generation.

SOme Reasons.
The Washington baseball club has
ever been ball club that anyone
would go any distance to see since it
was called The Nationals Why not
return to that name?"
II have the honor to suggest that
the name under which the club that
represented this city in the early days
of the game and which won so many
victories and was a credit to the CITY.
be given to the present club. e.,
The Nationals.
81 am under the impression that Nick
Young, one of our foremost citizens.
one who has. been closely identified with
baseball for years, and who has done
more than any other person for the adj
vancement of the game was a promi-
nent member of that club. Therefore,
as compliment to that grand old
man of the national game l think the
old name would be apropo. Some one
has suggested the New Nationals as
an appropriate name. In certain
sense it would be a good name but it
lacks sentiment We don't sneak erf
the New Athleties,' New Browns.
New White Stockings New Spiders,
etc, Give the club the good Old name
'Nationals'-and l think the hoodoo that
has followed it so many years will dis
appear
The ideal and logical name for a
club representing this city would be the
Nationals The name might be open
to the criticism of savoring somewhat
of the National League and to obviate
that, | suggest the addition of the word
New making it the New Nationals.
Much has been heard of the Old Ma
tionals. Why not now have the New
Nationals, with the hope that they may
deservedly become as famous as their
predecessors"
'"Return by all means to the old and
popular name of the Nationals. 1t stands
for all that is strong and aggressive in
baseball, and furthermore will rsyive

MOTION FOR DISMISSAL
Judge Van de vanter overruIes Motion
to Dismiss All Counts In Indictment
Burton Says Conversation Took
Place In IIIlnois-Aereement Was
Accepted.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 24-Senator Bur
ton of Kansas today testified in his own
behalf In his trial on charge that he
acted as paid attorney for corpora
ton in matters pending before de-
partment of the federal government.
The senator's tey ,imony, in the be-
ginning, followed closely that given in
his former trial, with the exception
that, in describing his conversation
with Thomas B. Harlan, in regard to
which the latter has already testified,
Burton laid special stress upon the fact
that before the conversation relating
to his employment. by the Rialto COM
they were en- route from st. Louis to
Chicago, had crossed the Mississippi
and was in Illinois outside of the juris-
diction Of the court before which the
case is being tried.
Refuses to Dismiss.
In lengthy extempore opinion,
United States circuit Judge Van De-
vanter overruled a motion to dismiss
all counts in the Indictment against
United States Senator Burton, charg-
ed with having agreed to accept. and
having accepted compensation to act
as attorney for the Rialto Grain and
Securities company before the postof-
flee department at Washington, which
was filed by the defense Immediately
| following the close of the govern
ment's case yesterday. Judge Van De.
venter said the definition Of the word
agreement" bore pertinently upon
this contention and went deeply into
both the legal and commercial mean,
| lings OF the word.
"Agreemenf' Was Accepted.
He held the agreement was not con.
summated until a representative of the
Rialto company, who had conducted
the negotiations with Burton on a
train en- route from st. Louis to Chi
cago had returned to st. Louis and
Burton's proposition had been accept
ed by the Rialto company.
| Attorney Lehman had held that the
mere agreeing by Burton to accept
compensation was all that he, (the
defendant) was accountable for, and
that had occurred in Illinois. Judge
Van De Venter then denied the motion
and allowed an exception to the de
cision.
| One Of the most important witnesses
brought forward by the government
yesterday was Charles H. Brooks, and
the testimony adduced was regarded
as very damaging to Burton.
