HEPBURN STRIKES SNAGS.
Arouses Antagonism That May Kill
Pure Food Bill.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The pure food
bill, that had tair prospect of passing
the senate a week or ten days ago, may
find rough shedding before it gets
through. Senator Hepburn, who ha.
the bill in charge, made an able pre-.
sentation of his case when first he call
ed it up for consideration; he met all
objections and did it in friendly way
But several times since, when the SEN
ator has brought the bill before the
senate, he has made unfortunate re-
plies to criticisms, and has aroused an
tagonism. The senate cannot be driven
no senator can compel the senate to act
in accordance with his wishes. 1t is q
case where more votes are caught by
sugar than by vinegar. This fact has
apparently escaped the attention of Mr..
Hepburn.
Indeed, the junior Idaho senator, in
talking with his colleagues, has stated
boastfully that he does not propose to
bend to the managers of the Republi-
can party in the senate; he will not
obliterate his individuality, but will
assert himself. and by sheer force put
his pure food bill through. This is an
unfortunate attitude, for once the sem
ate becomes satisfied that Mr.. Hepburn
proposes to ride over it rough-shod, and
drive bis colleagues into line, just that
soon the senate will demonstrate that
the power of single senator in legis-
lstion is very small, particularly if he
be comparatively new senator. Un-
less Mr.. Hepburn changes his attitude
and Islands in" with the leaders he
will not get his bill through.

Washington, Jan. 22.-With point
of order pending, the eight-hour clause
OF the Panama canal item in the urgent
deficiency bill was buffeted about in
debate during the greater part of to-
days session OF the house. The debate
was general and the point of order
which will be made by Hogg of Colo
RADIO, or by Williams, the minority
leader, can only be made when the Sec
tion is considered for amendment.
While the eight-hour provision OF
the Panama part of the bill is what is
objected to most strenuously, speeches
were made for and against the admins.

minority leader, declared the work of
digging ought to be done by contract
De Almond, of Missouri, Immediately
contended that this could not be done
successfully. and Burton, Of Ohio, urg-
ed that congress should scrutinize ap-
propriations. Hepburn, of Iowa, urged
the necessity of centra alization in re-
sponsibility, and wanted the president
held responsible for the work.

Monday, January %.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The question
of regulating railroad rates took prac'
tically all OF the time of the senate to.
day, Notwithstanding that no bill with
that end in view has been reported
from the interstate commerce commit
tee. The discussion of the subject was
in connection with Clary's speech, AL
drich, Foraker, Bailey and Newlands
being the principal participants in ad-
dition to Clay himself.
Clay advocated the passage of bill
which would give the Interstate Com
merce commission power to regulate
rates, when complained Of, and said
that, if there was no legislation along
that line, the country might count up
on agitation of the question of govern
ment ownership. In that connection,
he referred to the large vote given Mr..
Hearst in the late New York municipal
election as an indication of the poplari-
ty Of municipal ownership of public
utilities.

Washington, Jan. 23. - The eight
hour law cannot be abrogated for work
on the Panama canal and canal COM
missioners cannot receive additional
compensation beside their salaries as
commissioners. These two changes in
the urgent deficiency appropriation bill
now under consideration by the house
was the net result OF today's session.
Innumrable amendments seeking to
perfect the bill as to canal ground pur-
chases, purchases Of coal for the navy,
etc., consumed time in discussion, hut
met defeat when a vote was taken.
When the session ended, about half of
the bill had been considered. 1t will
be laid aside tomorrow, when the state
hood bill is to be brought in and to
have the right of way until disposed Of.

Chicago. March 24.-Jake Schaefer
will leave Chicago next Saturday night

years, and Cutler Of Boston. This will
be Cures first appearance in this
country. -
Regret is generally expressed that
Willie Hoppe did not enter the tourna

ment at the young man g attitude, and
it is generally understood that thu
other contestants will be given the first
opportunity to challenge the winner TO:
the cup.
Chicago billiard fans who have beer
watching Schaefer's practice severa
weeks are Of the opinion that he will
win the tournament. Slosson and Cur
are considered his most formidable op
ponents and, as Schaefer had beate1
both Of them, he is thought to hay
more than an even chance.
4 Plans are being talked Of to hol
sectional amateur billiard tournament
next year preparatory to the nationa
event which will be. held at the Ldede1

that there are enough good amateurs t
provide good competition in New Yorl

PRESIDENT KELLEY'S MES
SAGE TO THE FANS.

ct am not promising Minneapolis
a pennant winning team this year.
There are seven reasons for this
seven cities with good live teams to
keep us out of the championship, If
they can.
IT will promise, however, to give
Minneapolis followers Of baseball
all that I have in the way Of abil-
ity to put a fast, aggressive team in
the field, and one that no partizan
or local fan need be ashamed Of.
At this season Of the year all esti-
mates are based on paper strength
and all-star combinations, looking
best on paper, often make miserable
showings on the field Of play.
st am now full fedged resident
Of Minneapolis, having my all in
vested in this city, and am going
to do my best to merit the support
Of every follower Of tie game. It
is Anerica's greatest sport, one to
which scandal Is seldom attached,
/ and it Will be my endeavor to give
my horne city as fast and clean
baseball as can be seen In any city
on the circuit. =

There have been no startling develop

a ray of hope that Andy Oyler, who
last week announced determination
to retire from the diamond, may be
persuaded to join the team. Oyler has
been deluged with letters and tele-

consider his determination to retire

Faribault, Mimi, March 24.-Shat.
tuck's athletes were greatly surprised
today to receive word from the basket
ball authorities Of st. Thomas that the
final game Of the Minnesota Athletic
conference championship, scheduled for
Minneapolis next Wednesday afternoon,
had been called off by st. Thomas.
Shattuck claims the game and the
championship thru the forfeit. After
the recent game on the st. Thomas
floor the schools were tied for first
| place. The managers agreed to play
the final game on neutral floor and
arrangements were made for the use
| Of the HU.' p
This is one Of the best floors in the
country and would have given neither
team any advantage. Just as the ina
| details were complete the word came
that st. Thomas had cancelled the game
not desiring, they said, to play SO int
portant a game upon floor which re
sembles the Shattuck court more thar
their own.
The Shattuck players point out tina.
the st. Thomas floor does not CONF
within the rules, having eight iron post
! within it, low ceiling and the basket
without the required settings.
The "Shads'' claim the game b.
forfeit, but say they would much soone
have gained victory thru play upon
neutral court. --.-- ~. =.

Burlington, Iowa, March 24.--If the

Minneapolis team of the American
league will find poor brand Of weather
to greet them here Monday. Snow COW
ers the entire state, and bleak wind
continues to blow across the fields, but
they will be made comfortable, and as
soon as the frost is out Of the ground
they will begin practice.
It is possible that they will be de-
layed, but nothing to that effect has
been heard. It appears to be rather
amusing joke on the Minneapolis bunch
that they selected Iowa as a spring out
ing field. Their supposition was nc
doubt that Iowa was in the south, and
that the trees would be in leaf and the
flowers in bloom, and the little birds
singing in the branches. They will ar
rive here most surprised frame OF
mind, and instead Of unpacking theil
sleeveless shirts and legless pants, they
will get out their ear muffs and over
coats.
A similar unexpected condition con
fronts the Iowa league clubs, who hav'
arranged their opening practice game
for the last of this month. In less thai
a week, according to schedule, they will
be playing their practice games, an

on Tuesday the men will start to work
some of the crimps out Of their sys-
TENS. The usual stunts will prevail
until Friday night, when President
Kelley will divide the squad. 1t is his
intention to take most Of the young
sters on the western trip and play them
almost every day to get a line on their
ability. The old stagers will be left,
for the most part, at Burlington to get
into condition.
Kelley will take the youngsters on a
barn storming trip, into Nebraska for
practice games and will play the way
back to Burlington. In the meantime
it is the dope that the stay-at-homes
will have ridded themselves Of the sand
in the elbow and will have played a
series of games at Quincy and Burling-
ton. The squad will get together again
at Burlington on April II, when the
shearing process will begin. Those who
show that they could not make good
by the Fourth of July will be given
the grand certificate of leisure and the
