new CABINET OFFICER
EFFORT BEING MADE TO CREATE
NEW PORTFOLIO FOR PROF.
WILEY
MOVEMENT SAID TO BE BACKED
BY THE AMERICAN MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION

Washington, May There is a
powerful movement on foot to make
Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist of
the department Of agriculture, mem
Der of the presidents cabinet The
advocates of new portfolio would
place DR.. Wiley at the head of a. de-
partment of public health. The move
ment is said to be backed by the
American Medical Association, which
has enlisted with it pure food advo-
Gates and those who believe in the
general government taking charge OF
quarantine and inspection regulations.
It is regarded as likely that the
American Medical Association, which
is a power in politics and public af-
fairs, will begin a crusade for the
selection of DR.. Wiley at its annual
convention to be held in Atlantic City
this summer.
DIR. Wiley, as chief chemist for the
agricultural department, has carried
on for years almost single-handed the
fight for pure food legislation The
interests arrayed against him were
powerful, and he was forced to main
tain q continuous warfare with the
strongest lobbyists that Washington
boasts. The credit for the passage OF
a comprehensive pure food measure is
due almost entirely to DR.. Wiley's ef.
forts, for he declined to acknowledge
defeat and babe defiance to those who
| sought to obstruct the introduction OF
his bills.
| The advocates Of the new depart
| ment of Public Health contend that
| there is nothing more important than
the proper execution Of the various
statutes framed for the conservation
Of the Well-being Of American citizens
At the present time the enforcement
Of existing laws is scattered among q
number Of departments, with the re
suit that nothing like concerted action
lis possible. The treasury, the agricul
Itural and the department Of com
merce and labor have to deal with
cases coming under certain laws
while even the war department is EN-
powered to enforce certain statutes.
There is certain to be decided
fight made by the whiskey, drug and
lother interests that have been fight,
Ing Or. Wiley. This fight will begin
| Just as soon as some definite action ia
taken looking to the launching Of the
boom OF the chief chemist, and it VIII
be prosecuted vigorously. All of DR.
Wileya battles before will seem like
summer picnics in comparison and d
bitter warfare probably will break out
with quiet but determined skirmighina
as soon as the sixtieth congress con
venes.

POSTAL RATES
NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS ARE.
AGREED TO BY U. s.
AND CANADA.

Washington, D. c., May To-day
there goes into effect the new arrange
ments as to postage on second-class
matter, negotiated by Postmaster
General Meyer and Postmaster Gen
eral Limieux, of Canada. The agree
ment as reached, amends the postal
convention between the two countries
in SO far as it effects the transmission
of newspapers and periodicals known
as second-class matter, between the
two countries. Canada accepts the
tentative proposal of this country that
second class matter mailed in one
country and addressed to the other be
subject to rate of one cent for each
four ounces of fraction thereof on
each bulk package, prepaid by stamps
affixed
Under the previous arrangements
this matter has been transmitted to its
destination in either country on pay
ment Of the regular second class rate,
no fiscal statement being made on ac-
count of difference of volume of the
mail received by one country over
that received by another. Because of
the large preponderance of mail mat
ter going from this country to Canada
over that received from that country,
the agreement has operated material
" to the advantage of this country.
The Canadian postal authorities last
I November gave notice that after the
7th of May the paragraph Of the ex-
listing convention relating to the one
cent a pound rate at the Office Of
origin would be abrogated, but later
offered compromises. These appeared
to be complicated, and were; therefore,
rejected by the UnitedStates postal
authorities, who submitted the pro-
Z posaI which was agreed to and goes
into effect today. h.
The rate agreed upon is substantial
4 ", the transient rate for second class
matter which the individual citizen OF
the United States now pays, the ex-
ception being that the publishers OF
the United States have an additional
privilege Of mailing in bulk packages
at the rate named, separately address
sed, newspapers and periodicals in
tended for delivery to subscribers of
one postofice, and the cost to the pub
fishers OF the United States will be at
least 30 per cent less than il the pos
tai union rate should be applied.
I Postmaster General Meyer endeaYor-
cd to- secure continuance Of the agree
n1ent on the question OF second-cIass
& postage, as contemplated BY the ap-
pointment OF the postal commission
to investigate the subject. but it did
not appear to be possible to maintain
! the statue quo, and the new agreement
was therefore entered upon for the
protection OF American publishers

.CHAS. RANDALL
MADE MANAGER
Part Of Next Years Base
ball Team Has Already
Been Picked.
BILL JONES IS TO PLAY
Donohue and Mcmahon VIII Be On
the Team Next Summer and
Prospects Are Bright.

As the time for the beginning Of
the local baseball season approaches
the fans begin to get uneasy and Won
der what is the prospect. One of the
important changes for the coming year
is the election of Charley Randall to
the position Of manager of the team
Last year Randall was one of the
warmest supporters the team had and
as he is baseball man of considerable
experience. he was thought to be the
best man for the position. About five
years ago he managed the Hammond
team and for two years he was the
manager of the South Chicago team,
so his acquaintance with baseball men
is quite extensive.
The stockholders of the Hammond
baseball club have given up the idea
of playing over on the White House
grounds and arrangements will be
made to have all Of the games on the
old grounds next year.
Last year the Joe Long Juniors play
ed several games during the latter part
of the season, as preliminaries to the
games OF the Hammond baseball team
and they always proved a good attrac-
lions This year this will be made a
regular feature and the Joe Long Jun
Tors are to be relied upon to keep some
thing doing on the local grounds when
the other team is away.
The prospects for a good nine next
year seem very bright and nearly all
Of the old players have signif1ed their
willingness to sign up again If their
services are wanted.
Donohue will be with the team again
next year in his usual capacity as a
pitcher Elder will catch, while Nc
Mahon has been asked to hold down
the position at center field and will
probably agree to this arrangement.
Bargett will be captain and play at his
old position, first base. and of course,
White earned his position at short
without a question. Sherer Will play
in Their light garden and Fowler will
play second base. Bill Jones, one of
the old-time favorite on the Hammond
team will be back again next season,
but 1t has not been decided just where
he Will be put.
The two remaining positions, third
base and left field, are open. although
Bill Jones will be given one of them.
The remaining player and a general
utility man will be picked later in the
season.
The Hammond baseball team will
give a masked ball at Blissmers hall
in West Hammond on the 18th of this
month and as 1t will be in the nature
of reunion of the old baseball play
ers. 1t will doubtless bel argely at

ALL WELL AT HOT SPRINGS.

Hot Springs, Ark. Feb. s.-There
was not a trace of any trouble at the
Oaklawn race track yesterday after
noon and everything went off peace
fully as If Constable Smith and his
deputies were unheard of in this sec
ton of the country. The track Of
fetal say now that the meeting will
proceed to the finish as originally in
tended and that some good racing will
be seen If they are lucky enough to
get q touch Of nice weather. Nine
books did business in the ring yes
terday in the old-fashioned way and
while the volume of trade was not
heavy there was enough to keep this
number of pencilers going at close to

ers, however. as Jake Sanders, at the
uninviting figure of 1 to 8, was the

Heneberry is generally conceded sec

will pull away this event with a record
of six feet.
There seems to be no question about
the relay race for the Maroons they

In the long distance runs is where
the Maroons will lose out, the closest

won by May with Illini pulling in sec

STEVENS TO RESIGN NEXTs
Chief Engineer OF the Big Ditch Is
Opposed to Digging 1t by
Contract.

Washington. Feb. S.-T'he admins
ton has been brought face to face
with the alternative of rejecting all
bids for the construction of the Pana-
ma canal by contract or losing the
services of Chief Engineer John +.
Stevens. An effort has been made TO
get Stevens to change his mind, but
be has continued obdurate, insisting
on resigning if the canal is built by
contract.
This information comes from
source that cannot be doubted, but il
has created some surprise on account
of testimony given by Stevens before
the senate committee on interoceanic
canals year ago. when he said he ia
vored building the canal by contract.
Since then he has gone over the canal
plans carefully and he now expresses
the belief that the canal can be con-
structed by the government within a
period of ten years. His friends have
advised him that if a contract is let
for construction he will be robbed of
the credit of building this great water

AMERICAN ASSN TO WITHDRAW

From the east has come wild yarn
to the effect that the American Associa-
ton probably would withdraw from or
ganized baseball unless it is granted
representation on the national COM
mission. The yarn undoubtedly is spun
from the efforts the association and the
Eastern League have made in the past
to get higher representation than the
other Glass \ leagues. This effort has
taken the form of a proposition to
get a Glass IA created. but after this
was turned down the matter was
dropped. The statement that the as
ISOLATION or any members of 1t want
to drop out of organized baseball is
absurd on the face of it. Every team
in this league represents an invest
ment of several thousands of dollars
for players. They could not afford to
be raided. and they could not bid
against the National and American
Leagues for talent. The association
as we'll as the Eastern League wants
better representation, but neither or
ganization wants 1t badly enough to
get out in the cold.

The greatest western sprinter today

him is true is contemplating an in

of the town representing the east,
jamestown. This star is Dan Kelly, a
westerner from Oregon. Financial
obstacles have in the past prevented
his making the trip. Things are en-
tirely changed this year and the
changes came about in this way: He
was formerly student or an athlete
in the University of Oregon and could
run only for that college unless it was
for practice Of course the college would
not pay his expenses as the trip would
be a sort OF a personal one and such
an action on the part Of the college
would amount to professionalism.
