perance" They have quoted from the
unanimous Endorsement of the American
Medical Society of the movement for the
restoration of the canteen to the military
posts and soldiers homes.
At recent meeting of the local Army Can
teen Club. held at 10 18th street northeast,
Mrs. IneZ Seymour Mcconnell was elected
president The other officers chosen at the
same time were Miss Charlotte Mulhofer,
vice president; Miss Bessie Winchester, sec
rotary; Miss Lizzie Mulhofer, treasurer;
Mrs. +. G. Mitchell, financial secretary;
Miss Narcissus Hayes, sergeant-at-arms,
and Mr. Lee NJ Davidson of Chicago, or
ganizer and sponsor.
Declaration of Objects.
eve expect to be seconded in our efforts
for the return of the army canteen most
heartily by the wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters of soldiers, as well as by all
American women who agree with us that
the enactment of the anti-canteen law was
ill-advised and has resulted in large in
crease of habitual drunkards in the army,
as is shown by the recent report of Sur
peon Gen O Reilly, L. S. A." Thus spoke
one of the officers of the club
I'VE also agree with Gen. Corbn, who
is a real temperance man, that since the
abolition of the canteen there has been
an increase in immortality, drunkenness,
lack Of military discipline. assertions and
general dissatisfaction in the army.
I'VE also believe that at heart large
majority of the senators and representa-
tives in Congress agree with practically the
unanimous American army that a grave
mistake was made when the canteen was
abolished We are believers in real, not
theoretical. temperance and fanaticism. 1t
is also our opinion that those who are
petitioning Congress by the thousands for
the restoration of the post exchanges or
canteens know exactly what is best for the
army. of which they have been members,
while many of those who petitioned for
its abolition did not know what was meant
by a 'canteen.' y
This officer of the club also gave 1t as
her opinion that the absence of the can
teen at the military posts near Browns
Vile, Tex, resulted in all the trouble there
and caused the colored soldiers to shoot UP
the town. II was her belief that had
there been a post exchange there the SOL
diers would have been satisfied and would
not have gone 10 Brownsville, where they
are said TO have been required to patron
lie Jim Grow" bar rooms, where vile
decoctions known fighting firewater'
was sold TO them.
The ladies composing the Washington
Army Canteen Club have adopted a minia-
ture tin canteen. after the model of those
worn by Uncle Sans fighting men, as
badge and emblem, and declare they have
the courage of their convictions and will
fight for the restoration of the canteen
until victory perches upon their banner.

three feet The athlete had an enormous
hand. lined with skin almost thick and
tough as cowhide. But when about 300
drops had fallen there was a change of
opinion, and at the 420th drop he gave up
declaring that he could no longer endure
the torture.

HUGHES TO BE Baked
RAINES-ODELL COMBINE TO
CHECKMATE PLANS.

NEW YORK, JanuaryS.-State Senator AL
fred R. Page and other republican senators
were greatly interested last night as to the
makeup of the committees to be an
nounced by Senator Raines, president pro
tenn. of the senate, on Wednesday night
1t has been printed number of times how
Senator This and Senator That wants to
be head Of this or that committee. B. B.
Odel, jr, has not yet turned up at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel to establish his winter
quarters, as his political friends two weeks
ago said he would. Mr.. Odell was to have
held forth from the fifth Avenue on the
day after Christmas, but 1t was learned
last night that he was advised that this
was too public a program. 1t was made
known last night that instead Of attempt
ing to blaze the path by which he hopes to
return to political life from heaLquar-
tiers at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, he is to
undertake the job through. Senator Raines.
and that the method to be adopted will be
the organization Of the senate committee
pretty nearly after the fashion directed by
Mr.. Raines and Mr.. Odell.
Against Hughes Policy.
The leading republicans who talked about
this matter said that Mr.. Raines and Mr..
Odell were to make up the committees for
no other purpose than to keep intact the
old lines Of organization without the slight
est regard to public sentiment as expressed
at the polls in November. The senate thus
organized would not be particularly friend
~ to the recommendations of Gov. Hughes
In his message. according to the best in
formation last night. 1t Is to be Raines-
Odell senate and when inquiry was made If
Gov Hughes recommendations as to WHIP
ing out the railroad and the gas and cleo
tricity commissions were to be accepted the
Raines- Odell men said, Not for a moment;
not on your life"
This brought up a statement to the effect
that George W. Aldridge is not at all afraid
that he is to be shunted as one Of the rail-
road commissioners, but he is more actively
at work than ever in endeavoring to induce
Gov. Hughes to appoint his man, Winslow
NJ Mead, to be superintendent of public
works.
Senate and Correspondents:
For half a dozen years Senator Raines
has been greatly nettled by newspaper
criticism, and on one or two occasions he
has failed in his efforts to have newspaper
correspondents expelled from the senate.
This year, however, Senator Raines, ac-
cording to the best information last night,
intends at the outset to have the senate
leave with the committee on rules the
power to expel newspaper correspondent.
Indeed 1t was said that such a resolution
is to be introduced in the senate within the

Fever From Apes to Man.
From the Youths Companion.

Sir Patrick Manson, In his recent lectures
on tropical diseases, although accepting the
theory that the only mode OF transmission
of marsh, or malarial fever Is through the
bite of the Anopheles mosquito. adds the
statement, which will probably be new to
most readers, that the mosquitoes are cap
able of becoming infected by absorbing the
blood not merely of human patients, but
also Of anthropoid apes, and perhaps even
of various other mammals, which, in an
evolutionary sense, are related to man.

UMPIRE CONNOLLY WOULD

CHICAGO, February 9.-Tom Connolly,

want any more authority than. he has for

Tom has to say about his experience last

'I had very little trouble last season-sure-
ly less trouble than l have ever had since

The American League ranks first in regard
to umpires, to my mind, because President
johnson has taken such a firm stand in the
matter and supports his umpires to the let

more to him than to any one in the country
for he took hold of matters when things
were in bad way. Rowdyism was rampant
in the National League and the officials
were powerless Now the example of the
American League has compelled an entire
change, and the prospects of the game were
never better. Unless the umpires are sup

DRAFTING MINOR LEAGUERs.
Rules Changed by National Base Ball
Commission.

CINCINNATI. Ohio February s.-Im-
portant changes in the rules for drafting
minor league players were announced by
the national baseball commission today.
At the request OF the Pacific Coast
League the national agreement is to be
changed so that hereafter the drafting
period in that league shall begin and end
at the same time as the drafting period
In all other minor leagues, to wit Sep
TENDER to October 10 of each year.
In order fully TO protect the property
rights OF minor league clubs and to pre-
vent the drafting of players contrary to
the spirit Of the national agreement, the
following new rule was adopted:
Rule 40. Whenever major league club
has secured 4 minor league player by
draft il shall not be permissible for such
major league club within one year after
having secured such, player by draft to
release the player to any other club in
the same class out of which the player
was drafted until il shall have first given
the club from whom the player was draft
ed an opportunity to repurchase the player
at the drafting price paid by the ma jor
league club. This rule. however. shall
not be retroactive--that is to say. II shall
only apply 10 drafts to be made in the
future.
In submitting lists of purchased play
ers. as required at present. all major
league clubs must hereafter file with the
commission copies OF the agreements en-
tered into relating to such purchases: 1t
being the intent and desire of the commits
sion TO make close inquiry into all agree
ments providing for purchase, In order
that all the transactions may be bona fide
and not made with the view of protecting
clubs retaining players. thereby pre-
venting the players developing in their
profession and enabling them to secure
ness. as is provided by the national agree
ment. Copies of agreements referred to
in this rule may be filed with the COM
mission by any interested minor league
club
1t is required in another new rule that
the secretary of the National Association
furnish the national commission the full
name and address of drafted players, and
his salary when drafted. so that prompt
Information can be given the club drafting
such player
