The company has secured vast areas
of granite in the Tujunga valley. This
granite furnishes the raw material for
the brick.
The process is simple, and the method
of pressing rapid. There is no cement
used in the making of the new brick.
A secret process furnishes the binder
and the pressing is done under a power
full machine having a pressure of $780,
900 pounds to the surface of each brick.
Il is claimed that the brick is smoother
on the face, sharper in the edge and
absolutely uniform in size, color and
weight. 1t is coming into general use,
not only in America but in Europe.
where many years successful use has
demonstrated its superiority. In this
country it is eagerly adopted by archi-
tects and builders because of its many

The new company claims that the
brick can be laid faster because of its

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Two west
ern men this week brought forcibly to
the attention of congress the growing
demand of the west for better trans
portation facilities. They are DR.. w.
j. MCGEE of ST. Louis, who is attend
ing the convention of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science, and General Greene b. Raum
of Illinois, former commissioner OF
pensions.
DIR. MCGEE declared publicly that the
most prominent issue of the next COLI
eressional campaign in the west will
be that of water He insists that the
necessity for increased transportation
is the most vital question before his
section of the country today, and that
as the railroads are totally inadequate
to handle the vast tonnage of that sec
tion the interior waterways must be
improved to permit of the establish
ment OF fleets of freight-carrying
boats.
IF this national administration does
not relieve the present urgent needs, ~
says DR.. McGec, the people of the
Mississippi valley and the interior
states will elect a congress that will.
They must have relief"
General Raum is equally insistent
that natural channels be developed to
care for the marvellous growth in uaf-
fic. He points TO the remarkable fig
ures that traffic on the Great Lakes
has attained and declares that the
ocean tonnage cannot compare with ii.
General Raum is authority for the
statement that the tonnage taat passes
Detroit every year is greater than the
combined tonnage Of Hamburg, Havre,
New York and London. If "a satistaC-
tory channel were established between
the lakes ana the gulf this record
could be increased vastly, because
heavy merchandise could Inc handled
from the most northerly states to those
farther south entirely within the con-
fines of the country.
The fact that shippers in the season
lust closed, according TO government
figures, were saved in freight charge
on the Great Lakes alone the enormous
sum of S305, 100000 is put forward as
an added reason why the government
should expend big sums on this scheme
of internal improvement. 1t Is likely
that congress will pass the greatest
bill in history, providing funds for
waterways development, but advocate
of the work are as strong as ever 70
their contention that these appropri3,
tions should be regular and that tn,
work should be constantly and steadi

There may be some notifications ar
ranged later, permitting such land
grabbers to lease from the government
the lands they now have under fence,
and in this manner the fences will be
allowed to remain up so long as all
the laws are complied with and the
leases are not abrogated. This. how
ever, will be a matter for Secretary
Hitchcock to decide later, and in his
characteristic way he is making no
promises.
Congressman Bartholdt of Missouri
who, as chairman of the American
branch of the Interparliamentary
union, represented America abroad at
the congress last year, has been deco
rated with a bronze medal, which he
values most highly. The decoration
comes from Baron Estournelle de
Constant, president general of the
council general of the association for
international conciliation, and is in
appreciation of the services rendered
by Mr.. Bartholdt in the cause of uni
versal pease.
Mr.. Bartholdt's views on peace are
well known and he is an advocate of
disarmament in season and out. How
ever, his peaceful proclivities do not
extend TO the floor of the house, where
his ability for laying low opponents
IN debate is well recognized.
Restrict convict-Made Goods
A bill of great importance both to
labor and to the manufacturing world
is now before the senate, having al
ready passed the house. 1t is fathered
by Representative Hunt of Missouri
and seeks to prevent the free passage
from state to state of convict made
goods.
At the present time, under the inter-
state commerce law, articles manu-
tactured in state penitentiaries may
pass freely beyond the boundaries of
the state and be offered in open mar
of free labor. The Hunt bill seeks to
remedy this illogical condition of af.
fairs by practically suspending the pro-
visions of the Interstate commerce law
and permitting each state to legislate
for itself on the subject of the employ
ment of its convicts, and also to pro-
hibit the introduction to its territory OF
goods made by conVicts in other states
Dealers in agricultural implements
and in farmers supplies are especially
Interested in the measure, which will
bring TO an end the whitening compe-
tition offered by the sale of binding
tWine manufactured i'm the peniten-
tiaries of five states and shipped be-
yond the confines of those states. Ir
this particular case the result has
been not only to deprive free labor en-
gagged in the manufacture of such twinC
of the work that means their daily
bread, but it also has crippled the
dealers who had contracted for stocks
of the tWine from regular manufac-
turers.
A growing tendency is seen to en-
| ploy convict labor in the upbuilding OF
public roads and in such other WORK

WILLIAMS GETS
BADLY POUNDED
Diamond Heads Win Fast Game
From the Puns by Their
Hard Hitting.

The baseball games yesterday in the
cided contrast. In the first, loose play
was the feature and while there was
sufficient batting to please the specta-
tors 1t was hardly good baseball. The
second game, on the other hand, in
which the Puns were defeated by the
Diamond Heads by the score of 7-3.
was baseball all the way through. In
spots there might be exceptions taken
to the play but on the general average
feated by simply one thing. the bat
ting game which the Heads put up.
The Heads had their batting clothes
on and in the seventh inning won the
game by lining out clean hard hits
which brought four runs over the plate.
The Puns put up a pretty fielding
game in spite of the fact that they
were unable to win out, only two er-
rors being made by them, both these

being hard chances which he could
hardly be blamed for losing. The
Heads with the exception of George
Clark did clean fielding. Clark was a
little too anxious and showed the lack
of practise. He made up for his poor
fielding, which did not prove costly at
ter all, by his good work at the bat.
The Rams hit the ball hard but the
fact that they forgot how to field when
the right time came and that Reuter-

SECOND GAME,

The scoring was started in the first
inning by the Puns. They had sue
ceeded in shutting out the Heads al
though they had made two hits, by
nice fielding and then started in a. if
they meant to win. Hampton was the
first man up. He famed out but Ed
die Desha got to second on Clark's
tumble of his grounder and nice
steal. Johnny Williams made a clean
hit to right bringing E. Desha home
but being unable to get beyond second
himself
In the second the Heads evened mat
ters up. Hampton missed Leslie's
grounder and George Clark followed
with a safe hit to center which sent
Leslie to third. Lowrey made a nice
stop of chillingworth's grounder but
threw wild to A. Williams, filling the
bases. Leslie was forced out at the
plate on Van Vliet's grounder to pitch
er but Clark scored on Olmos' ground
ball to second. Eddie Desha made a
beautiful catch of Fernandez's fly to
left center.
There was no more scoring till the
fourth wnen the Puns brought in two
more. After Ringland had been put
out on a ground ball to Eddie Fernan-
DEE, A. Williams got life on a scratch
hit. Kia hit a bad bounding ball which
got through the Major and Olmos, and
Williams scored, Kia going to third
Iowrey got his base on a pass and
stole second while Kia came home on
passed ball before Hannah made the
third out
The Heads missed chance in the
fifth. Fernandez beat out a slow bunt
and stole second and third from Ring
land, but was caught at the plate by
a nice throw from A. Williams after

knocked one to short on the ground

THE FIRST GAME.

In one of the poorest games of the
season the st. Louis team defeated the
Kams. IL to 6. yesterday. The Rams
were successful in making nine errors
during the game. and in other ways
they showed evidences of having at
tended luaus the night before, which
are not. under the best OF circum-
stances, conducive to good ball play
ing. There were some times when MEM
bers of the team showed evidences of
clean playing, but when it came to
fielding the Rams could hardly claim
recognition as ball players of. the class
which they usually represent.
The story of the game may be seen
in the totals better than anywhere
else. The Kams outbatted their OPP
ponents, making ten base hits, while
the Saints made only seven. The
Saints, however, only made three err
rors, at least one of which was ex-
cusable while the Kams made nine, Of
which Miller was responsible for four.
This last player made two putouts but
not single assist. His work was
slightly shady.
The ST. Louis boys went first to the
bat. En- Sue got TO first on an error
by Hamauku, and Jones threw high
on his steal of second. Evers hit on
the ground to Hamauku, and went out,
En- Sue getting to third. Louis got a
pass and stole second. En- Sue came
home on Ayletts fly to center, the Kan
Nplayer forgetting TO throw home. Louis
