Weak Offensive Play.

George Washington's offensive play was
more or less Intellectual, the forward
pass, which proved successful In other
games, failing to work in a single in
stance.
The Techs pass worked in almost every
instance for substantial gains. They also
had a very puZzling criss-cross which the
HatchetiteS had considerable trouble in
solving, and which on most occasions
netted considerable ground.
Hodgson's punts averaged about 30
yards in the early part of the game. In
the latter part he confined himself to
short and well-placed kicks, which were
generally recovered by his own ends.
George Washington used the on-side kick
successfully in one instance. The longest
gain for the Buff and Blue was made by
White, who, catching a kickoff ran 40
yards, eluding almost the entire Poly
technic team before being downed.

In it's issue Of January s. 1907, the En-
cheering and Mining Journal publishes the
accompanying statistics Of the production
of the principal metals and mineral sub
stances in 1906. the figures for 1906 being
given in comparison. The year which has
just closed was one of great prosperity in
the mining industry, and in most branches
of mineral and metal production there were
substantial increases. The increases would
have been larger II there had been suffi-
Client supply of labor the shortage Of which
was a general complaint in ali quarters.
This was the leading reason for the small
ness in the increase in the production Of
copper. The decrease in the production Of
petroleum is explained by the exhaustion
OF certain fields In Texas. The further de-
crease in the production OF quicksilver is
simply In line with the waning tendency Of

LAFoLLETTE BILL is PASSED

senate Approves measure
Hours of Trainmen.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-By a vote of
20 to l the senate today passed bill pro-
viding that railway employees engaged in
handling trains shall not work more than
sixteen consecutive hours, which period
is to be followed by ten hours of duty.
The one negative vote was cast by Senator
Pettus.
This result was reached after an entire
day spent in considering the subject. The
parliamentary situation was confused dur
ing the entire time, caused by the forty
pending amendments and the three sub
stitutes for the original bill. all of which
had to be disposed of.
The bill which was finally passed was a
substitute offered today by Senator La Fol-
lette and not in print. 1t was amended
in several respects by the senate.
The bill provides that under certain con-
tingences and in cases of accident the
time fixed may be exceeded. The enforce
ment of the law is placed in the hands of
the Interstate Commerce commission and
the federal courts, the penalty provided
being a fine of not less than 800 nor more
than 1000. The act is to apply to trains
doing an interstate or foreign commerce
business. The full text of the bill follows:
be IL enacted etc:
That IT shall be unlawful for any com
mon carrier by railroad in any territory
of the United States or the District of
Columbia, or any of its officers agents,
or any common carrier engaged in inter-
state or foreign commerce by railroad, or
any of its officers or agents, TO require
or permit any employee engaged in or con-
nected with the movement of any train
carrying interstate or foreign freight or
passengers to remain on duty more than
sixteen consecutive hours, except when by
casualty occurring after such employe has
started on his trip, or by unknown cas-
ualty occurring before he started on his
trip, and except when by accident or un'
expected delay of trains scheduled to
make connection with the train on which
such employee is serving he is prevented
from reaching his terminal; or to require
or permit any such employe who has been
on duty sixteen consecutive hours to go
on duty without having had at least ten
hours off duty; or to require or permit
any such employee who has been on duty
sixteen hours in the aggregate In any
twenty four-hour period. to continue N
duty or to go on duty without having had
at least eight hours off duty within such

BILE to insure accuracy. Among other dif1-
culties there are always likely to be dupli-
cations or omissions in the reports of the
producers, which can be corrected only by
careful investigation, involving considera.
bic time. However, We are confident that
the statistics which we are able to present
at this early date are close approximations
to the truth, and we believe that statistics
giving the production within per cent
of the actual, presented five days after the
close of the year, the more valuable to the
Industry than statistics that are precise
or within ! per cent of the actual, SUBJ
mitted six months or a year later.
II will be observed that there are differ
ences between the statistics given by the
various contributors to this number and
our own statistics. This is because their
contributions were necessarily written ana
put into type before our statistics were
available. and consequently the statistics
of our contributors are generally estimates

ancies. though the reason will be so OBJ,

as per cent Of my time is a deliberate false
hood"
with a rush Mr. Gaines reached the cen
ter Of the chamber. making directly toward
the gentleman from Pennsylvania, insisting
as he went that no man could call him a
liar without personal chastisement
The rush Of Mr.. Gaines upon his adver-
sary brought a dozen members before the
speakers desk. Messrs. ollie James Of
Kentucky, Taylor of Alabama, Bell Of
Georgia, Williams OF Mississippi, the mi
nority leader and Stafford Of Wisconsin
grabbed Gaines, who. resisting vigorously,
was borne back to his seat.
Mr. Mahon seemed to wait for the i'm
pact which never came. with Mr.. Gaines
back in his seat, the Pennsylvania made
his speech of explanation as TO how he
became connected with the invoking Of
an old statute compelling members to
forfeit pay for the time absent from the
house. He said the charge that he was
away from the house IS per cent Of the
time was lie on its face and that he
was there IS per cent OF time. as every
member who cared to inquire could ascer-
tain.
oil on Troubled Waters.
Mr.. Lacey of Iowa called for the reading
of the statute relating to the docking Of
members pay, and he was followed by
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio, who explained the
reasons for the statute. Mr.. De Almond
of Missouri asked that the minority Views
of the judiciary committee on the statute
be printed.
When this colloquy was in progress the
friends of Messrs. Gaines and Mahon were
engaged in an effort to bring about a
reconciliation, in which they were sue
cessful, and at its conclusion Mr.. Mahon
rose to question of personal privilege.
He stated that he did not desire to i'm
pugn the motives which prompted Mr..
Gaines to utter what was an untruth about
his absence from the house, but he de-
sired to say that his information was in
correct. He had no desire to offend the
gentleman from Tennessee; he classed him
among his friends, but wanted him to
understand the person from whom he OBJ
tained his information misrepresented the
facts.
Mr.. Gaines Immediately arose and, show
ing deep feeling. said that the gentleman
from Pennsylvania had always been his
yond endurance. He regretted extremely
the turn affairs had taken.
Mr.. Mahon rushed across the chamber.
The two men clasped hands amid loud APP
plause.
Mr.. Smith of Iowa facetiously remarked
that las war had been the subject of the
whole days proceeding. resulting in almost
personal encounter" he thought the
house was in no temper to proceed fur
