Failure of Congress 20 Act Yesterday
Causes some Disappointment.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Mayor Schmitz
and his associates are awaiting the action
Of congress on the immigration bill, and
the result Of Secretary Roots negotiations
with the Toxic government on the San
Francisco school controversy. The ex-
clusion provision in the bill, which the
administration believes will solve the
coolie labor problem, is said to be entirely
satisfactory to the Japanese government,
and another and perhaps final conference
will be held at the White House tomorrow
by which assurance OF the passage Of the
bill at this session, said 20 have been given
the republican leaders are expected to be
discussed.
The failure of congress to take some
action on the immigration bill today was
a disappointment to the members of
congress from California and to Mayor
Schmitz and the members of the school
board, but they are confident that the
measure will be adopted without serious
opposition. Mayor Schmitz tonight said he
looked for an amicable settlement of all
the questions at issue at tomorrow's con-
ference. From the telegraphic reports
receive from San Francisco" the mayor
said, the newspapers have changed their
tactics and are now inclined to give us a
fair DEAL the sentiment of the coast people
has changed since they are satisfied that
we are trying to bring about a solution of
the school question that will be for the
best interests of the state Of California
The tone of the messages we are now
receiving are of praise"
Mayor Schmitz's proposition for separate
schools for the Japanese children has been
submitted to the Toxic government and the
japanese embassy hopes to be able to de-
liver the mikado's answer to Secretary
Root tomorrow. If this suggestion is not
acceptable to Japan Mayor Schmitz and
members of the school board will agree to
abolish the oriental schools in San Fran
cisco. If tomorrow's conference results in
an agreement, as expected, President
Roosevelt may issue official statement
after the conference, outlining the basis
of the government

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Law
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 14-The De-
partment of Justice is about to proceed
against a number of railroads for viola
lions of the law relating to the shipment
of cattle. This law provides that cattle
shipped in interstate commerce shall not
be confined on cars longer than twenty
eight hours continuously without their
being unloaded for feed, rest and water;
except in cases where a request is pre-
viously made, the time may be extended to
thirty-six hours.
In many cases, II is alleged, cattle have
been confined on cars without rest, food
or water for fifty hours and in some cases
sixty hours, and 1t is the purpose of the
government to insist upon the full maxi
mum penalty of $500.
Under the old law, which permitted no
extension of time, the department prose-
cuted about 100 cases of violations of the
Neutrality-suspicious. law and in each case
the railroad plead guilty and paid the
maximum penalty of 500. The railroads

According to a report from Toronto the
Argonaut r. c. eight has started train
ing for the Olympic games regatta in Eng

have from now till next July to get in
trim. Those who compose the combina-
ton just now. with their weights are:

son. 161: Boyd. 1855; Balfour, 1871: David.
son. 1856: Reddy. 161; Taylor, stroke, 1853,
and Rutland, the coxswain, 115 pounds
Boyd and Thompson are no strangers on
the English Thames for they were men,
bers of the Argonaut outfit that tried for
the grand challenge cup at Henley last
year. The other five men are sweep pull
ers tried and true, for they were In the
boat that carried off the honors at the
national regatta at Philadelphia this
year and previously distinguished them
selves at the Canadian meet. The crew
is coached by Joe Wright and will be
worked regularly through the entire win
ter. When the ice prevents outdoor work
the men will take to the rowing machines
until it is possible for the shell to be
launched again in the spring. The
Argonauts will go to England a month
ahead of the regetta. which takes place
the last days of July, and they intend
to have good long spell of practice on
the Thames.
simultaneously with the reported &C
tivity of the Argonauts there comes word
that there will be three crews for the

RAILWAY RELIEF
BOWLING AVERAGES

THE fight for the top position in the
Washington Railway Relief Association
Bowling League is becoming coser and
more Interesting as the season progresses.
The Mechanical quint has taken on
great squirt and is now but one game
behind the Northern team. which has
been leading practically all season. Al
the beginning of the week Northern had
the leadership by about six games, but
owing to its double defeat and Me-
chaniears fine playing. which netted it
three victories. the big gap has closed up
and change is liable to result before
another week has passed. Roadway fig
ured in three games the past week, WIN
ming two and losing one, but 1t re-
mains in third place and ties with Column
bia for this position in the race. AS yet
the General Office outfit has failed to
win game, but it's hopes run high,
and it says when it does get go ng
1t will make the other quints hustle.
Smelling still retains the best high aver
age. despite the fact that his figures this
week are smaller than last weeks. Wynn
koop was ousted from place money by
Herbert, who last week held down fifth
place. Wilson is a close third, having
an average of 1857, just two points less
than Herbert. Following are tthe standing
of the teams and the averages of the
nine high men:

MAY TAKE UP BOWLING.
Ball Players May Make It Most
Popular Winter Sport.

Far-Seeing base ball nlagnateS are be-
ginning to realize the possibilities of the
tenpin game as popular form of indoor
sport. with the result that it may be only
a question of few years when bowling
leagues will, in a measure, take the place
Of base ball during the winter season.
1t is a fact that ball players make the
best bowlers, and the pitchers are re-
markedly expert with the small balls In
the duckpin game.
Garry Hermann, president of the na-
tional base ball commission, and also
Of the American bowling congress, the
western controlling organization in the
tenpin game, Is very enthusiastic over the
possibilities of making the indoor sport
more popular by the Introduction Of pro-
fessional leagues. In this matter he has
had several conferences with Capt. Adrian
G.. Arson of Chicago, who made an ef-
ago, but failed because of the lateness
in the season.
In this section, the Eastern and Inter-
state leagues. organized two years ago,
have been great success. Eight or ten
cities have placed teams In these leagues.
with the result that at each series OF
games the attendance indicated their
popularity. In the Eastern the series
consist of games between individual, two.
thre, and five men teams, while in the
petitors. There Is no reason why such a
system could not be successfully extended
to include eight or ten of the largest
cities of America
The result of Herrmann's success has
attracted attention from other magnates
and particularly those of the east. Bar
ney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg has lately
taken q great interest in bowling He
has personally assisted in organizing
teams in Pttsburg. and says the Smoky
City will be more Largely represented in
the Cincinnati tournament than the home
city. Incidentally. Dreyfuss Is canul-
date for next president of the A. B. c.,
and Pittsburg wants the 1908 tournament.
Votes are counted by tournament rep
resentation in the A. B. c., and that's
why Pittsburg will send SO many teams
to Cincinnati.
Dreyfuss' energy has also excited the
attention of Chicago bowlers, and Charles
comiskey, president of the White Sox is
being quitely doomed for next president
of the A. B. c., with Chicago as the
tournament city in 1905
1t is a merry fight. with New York
bowlers looking on and wondering If the
tina is not at hand when Henry Pulliam,
Frank Farrell, John T. Brush or Charley
Ebbets cannot be brought into the game.

TO SUCCEED AMzI SMITH.
George II. Boyd Will Be Elected by
the Senate.

One Of the early acts of the Senate will
be the election of George H. Boyd as
superintendent Of the document room, to
take the place OF Amzi Smith, who died
hast summer. The late Mr.. Smith was a
remarkable man in the document room,
ana his loss will be felt by senators who
relied implicitly for a third of a century
on him to find any document or public
print OF which they might be in search:
Many years ago the Senate adopted the
plan Of retaining in service in the docu-
nent room men who were valuable re-
CARELESS Of their political affiliations or
influence. The political character of the
Senate changed twice during the service
Of Mr.. Smith. The same course has beer
pursued in regard to Mr.. Boyd, who was
long an assistant to Mr.. Smith and alb
sorbed much of Mr.. Smiths methods and
knowledge. He is Washingtonian by
birth and has lived here all his life.
The Senate will choose Mr.. Boyd be-
cause the convenience of the senators and
the business of the Senate require his
services.
As far back as 1891 the late Senator
Morgan of Alabama called attention to the
services Of Mr.. Boyd and had his salary
raised. He said Boyd had been chiefly
raised in the Senate document room, and
he Is Just as Indispensable to 1t as Amzi
Smith. In the absence of Mr.. Smith. as
Mr.. Boyd understands all the intricacies
has taken his place. and is a very faith
full, competent and efficient officer"
Senator Morgan said that Boyd was
much more useful than men who had
been put In the office by the influence of
senator's, and was entitled to more pay
than he was receiving. And last January,
when the legislative appropriation bill was
under consideration, Senator Morgan,
then a feeble man. with the mark Of death
upon him. secured another increase in
salary for Mr.. Boyd.
Mr. Boyd" said the Alabama senator,
has been in the Office now almost since
childhood, and has got to be almost as
proficient In It as Mr.. Smith. and that is
saying a great deal for anybody. I think
1t is time We moved his salary up to the
point suggested"
And II was done. Both Senator Morgan
and Mr.. Smith have now gone over TO
the majority. but Mr.. Boyd will scarcely
need any stronger Endorsement than ne
has from the men who have passed away.
