DIFFER FROM HITCHCOCK
A Senate Committee Asks the Secre-
tary Again for His Authority.
Withdrawal on 100000 Acres Of In
dian Land From Allotment Critics.
ed--ThInks He Has Precedents.

Washington, Jan. 10-Secretary
Hitchcock Of the department Of the
interior at his own request appeared
Wednesday before the special senate
committee which Investigated citi'
zenship and property rights OF the
five civilized tribes. 1t had been an
nounced that the secretary would ex-
plain what he believed to be his stat
utory authority for Withdrawing L.
100000 acres Of Indian lands from
allotment In order to create the forest
reservation asked for by Secretary
Wilson Of the Department Of agricul-
ture.
Mr.. Hitchcock declined to state his
authority to the committee but said
the Assistant Attorney General Camp
bell had prepared a report which
would be made 10 congress and that
this report would justify his course.
All members Of the committee DIFF
fered from Mr.. Hitchcock and final
ly he agreed to send the report to
the committee but he declined to
answer questions relating to the
character Of the report beyond de-
claring that he found legal authority
for his action In withdrawing the
lands in the face Of an act Of con-
gress ordering that the lands be open
ed to allotment. He explained fur
Their that he was not ready because
he had not received the report Of Sec
rotary Wilson as to the deslrability Of
creating the forces reserve until
Tuesday.
What bearing can the report Of
the secretary Of agriculture have up
on the legality Of your action?" asked
Senator Brandegee
1.-TWO separate questions are involv-
ed, | know" said Mr.. Hitchcock, "but
they are so closely interviewer that
congress should have the benefit Of
both reports" Es
1T was a very startling thing to
think that the interior department
or any department could defy an act
Of congress and suspend an afflrma
tive order as was done in withdraw
ing this land" said Senator Clark of
Wyoming, "and should like to have
your authority for It. think voice
the opinion Of the other members OF
the committee"
Mr.. Hitchcock replied that he be
lleved Mr.. Campbell had found a pre-
cedent.

Statement from Hoppe-Willing to
 Play Sutton for S1O,OOO a Side.

Play Sutton for $1O,OOO a Side.
 William Hoppe, the young billiard master. who leaves for Amsterdam, Holland, next Saturday, issued a statement in which he says:
 AS I am about to leave for Hol- land in a couple of days, I take the liberty to write you these few lines. There seems to be quite a good deal of comment on my leaving this .coun- try to play in foreign academy, and I do not wish to have my friends and admirers, as well as the general pub lie who are interested and who have always been interested in my games, to think I am afraid of losing my title that I am doing this to evade a match with MT Sutton.
 There are several reasons why I have taken this step, and it is only after quite little deliberation that I have made up my mind to again cross the ocean. Here are few of my reasons:
 First, as know of no one great billiard player who plays for charity. and as 1 cannot exist on my skill without the financial benefits one de- rives from the games, and the billiard corporations of this city try to dic- tate to champion, where in all other sports the champion dictates, and furthermore I will not allow any bill Hard firm to dictate to me.
 Second, in regard to playing Mir Sutton, let me go on record as saying that l will play MT Sutton or any other billiard player three nights for $l0,OOO.
 If the billiard concern sees fit to publish my terms and business with the academy in Holland and seems so anxious to acquaint the public with the knowledge of these facts. perhaps they will publish my con- tract for 1907 and 1908, and if they do not. see fit to do so, why. will do so myself"
 Hoppe. Sr, visited the offices of the Brunswick -Balke-Collender Go yes terday and gave up the trophy em- blematic of the 1S:1 championship. The title thus being relinquished by his son. the B. B. c. Co forwarded the emblem to Sutton in Chicago. Sutton therefore becomes the 1s.1 and 1S.2 champion, the former by de- fault. the latter. by conquest.
 In spite of the good start made by Max Thomas of Montreal in his three nights match at 1S.2 with Tom Gal lagher at Daly's academy, the latter was the winner. He beat Thomas. 400 to 193, in the final block of points and made a grand total of 1,- 200 to Thomas's SS9. Gallagher was in strong form and not only made a run of 102 but averaged over 20.

Paddy O'Connor Likes Offer From
 Little Rock.

 Little Rock.
 Paddy O'Connor, catcher of the Springfield base ball team, is wanted by Mickey Finn of the Little Rock team, and the Pony backstop thinks we'll of the proposition. Finn has asked O'Connor to go south with him and the proposition has been referred in turn to Manager Dan O'Neil of the Springfield team. In his desire to quit Springfield the player makes it clear that he has been entirely satis- fled with his treatment there by man. ager and public.
 O'Connor takes view of the situ- ation such as is held by many play CTS. Speaking of the offer he says he thinks 1t would be hard to find a better town to play in than Spring field Is. He considers the fans among. the fairest on earth, but says he believes it is usually better for player, manager and public If the same men do not remain on team too long. Paddy believes a change would bring renewed ambition. and says he hopes the deal will go through. In case it does, he says, he would still spend his winters in Springfield. He considers three years long enough for player to remain with the same club.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Claude Ritchey is pleased that he is going to Boston to play. Why not? He is leaving Pittsburg.
 Nossis O'Neill has been reelected president of the Western league. His new term is for five years.
 The Pacific Coast league players will not be permitted to play with teams outside the league next sea- son.
 Lzjoie says he's willing to bat .12s if he can win a pennant for his CieveIands. He ought to ask Comis- key for the prescription.
 George Blackburn. who is to man. age the vicksburg club the coming season, won the Cotton States league pennant in 1902 with the Natchez team.
 From present indications it looks as if the American association will have more new players next season than any other baseball organization in the country.
 If the National league holds out for a long season and the American league for a short one there is likely to be a good many conflicting dates in the cities that have two clubs.
 Claude Ritchey threatens to kick over e few traces on account of his transfer to the Boston club Claude thinks coin will not be as plentiful with Dovey as it was with Dreyfuss.
 The latest trick seems to be to swap umpires as well as players The Eastern league and the Ameri- can association will exchange two or more of their srbiters the coming sezsc-

Causes Of Taking Cold.

If one who has caught cold will take thought he will often find that he has prepared himself for the in- lection by some tax on his physical condition-some extra work which has depressed his bodily powers. some worry which has preyed on his mind. some loss of sleep. some un- due exposure 10 atmospheric changes or some dietary indiscretions, says the Youths Companion. For indis- erect eating is one of the most pro- life and yet the least recognized of all the predisposing causes of a cold. The tramp may suffer from frost bite. from pneumonia or from consump- ton. but unless the farmers' wives along his route have been unusually generous. he seldom has . cold in his head
