NEW MOVE BY PRESIDENT.
Chief Executive In Personal Charge
of Legislation He Desires.

President Roosevelt In his efforts
to secure legislation which he thinks
Is necessary to the welfare of the
country has introduced at Washington
new custom, which is very offensive
to the senate and to many members
OF the house, by taking personal
charge of legislative measures and ex-
ercising his powerful influence to Sc
cure their consideration and adoption.
Without considering the propriety of
the executive interference In legisla-
tive affairs, which always has been
and always will be done, 1t would be
great deal better to legalize it in this
country on the English plan, says the
Washington Star. Over there the gov
eminent submits certain bills which 1t
considers necessary to become laws
and on certain day in the session
the leader of the house, who Is usu-
ally the prime minister, moves the
postponement of all other measures
so that they can receive undivided at
tention. 1t would be great deal bet
ter IL the president of the United
states, through the chairman or the
committee on ways and means in the
house and the chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations in the senate,
should give the Endorsement of the
administration formally and officially
to such measures as he thinks are
necessary to the public welfare and
let the leaders of the majority In
both houses move the indefinite post
ponement of everything else, as is
done in England. That would accom-
plish directly and personally what the
president now attempts to do indirect
ly and unoc,cially and he would not
be accused of bulldozing and bribery
by patronage to secure the passage
of his pet measures.

you're on Two games.
This laconic but meaning message
was telegraphed last night by Frank
Welshons, manager of the Ely base
ball team, to Dad" Gimlin, who has
the Ogden colts this year. The Ely
team will meet the Ogdenites here
Saturday, June and Sunday, June
8, on the occasion of the investors
excursion to the camp.
One of the agreements which it
was necessary to sign was that the
expenses of the Ogdenites would be
guaranteed and Manager Welsnons
went out among the baseball fans
yesterday afternoon to do little
missionary work. In quarter or an
hour he had pledges enough to make
the games a certainty

trimming up some of the good ones

has trimmed everything in this vicin-
ity, the games will be watched with
no little interest.

SEVERAL TEAMS
ARE TRYING TO
ARRANGE GAMES
Ely Baseball Nine Will Meet Lane
City Next Sunday-Smelters
and Pilot Knobs Next.

Jack Conway, manager of the Pi-
lot Knob baseball team called at the
News Office last night in an effort to
arrange a ball game with either the
Railroad tea moi Ely City, or with
the Smelter team from McGill fol-
Sunday, June 16.
Manager Conway says that his
team is not in shape to play Deco.
ration day game and for that reason
he has made no effort to get game
for today.
Next Sunday, June 2, Lane and Ely
will play at Lane City. The Pilot
Knob team will probably be on the
ground to watch the workout of the
two teams, but will not play on that
day. as they want a little more time
TO get ready for tight game.
On the following Sunday, June 8,
however, the Pilot Knobs have a
game scheduled for the Lane City
nlayers at the Knob. The men from
nm the CANYON feel that on their own
territory they will be invincible and
can hand to the Lane men goose
egg.
The Pilot Knobs are open FOR a
game for Sunday, June 16, at Ely,
with olInor Ln0 IbdllIOCbuo vi "ASh viz
Smelter team They will play a
straight team. but will not expect the
team they meet to borrow star play
ers from any other team for the I'M
portant positions.
Manager Conway wants to get into
touch with the managers of the va
rious teams in and around the camp,
and can be reached by telephone at
the Giroux.
Manager Bob Reed of the Smelter
team wants a game with the Rail-
roads at Ely City next Sunday, but
insists that they play their own
pitcher. He says that the game is
for the purpose of lining up the Rail-
readers and getting in toucn with
their team work, but that his colts
cannot do this if they use pitcher
from another team.
Reed says that he is willing that
the Railroaders borrow Fulmer from
the Ely team for the game, provided
they do not put Fulmer in the pitch
er's box.
It is believed that these differences
will be adjusted in time for the game
to be arranged.

LANE CITY MANAGER
THREATENS A SURPRISE

Manager Joe Johnson of the Lane
City ball team, called at the News
Office last night to announce the
scheduling of game at Lane be-
tween the Lane players and the Ely
team for next Sunday
Manager johnson says that he has
a surprise up his sleeve, in the way
of a battery which will hold down
any aggregation of stick men that
the camp can produce.
He will not tell who his men are,
but declares them to be "stem-
winding wizards" who will pitch
curves around any batter that will
bold stick up before them.
The Lane team has also been
strengthened by strong catcher,
who is able. according to Manager
J Johnson, to catch a bullet from a 30

an eye. A second baseman who is

New Empire Completed.

The fihal work on the big New
Empire reservoir. under the contract
between d. A. Camtield, the builder,
and the Bijou Irrigation district was
completed last week. The reservoir
has been used some the past summer
and several bad breaks in the inlet

too much water In new ditch, but
otherwise the whole piece of work is
looked upon as one of the largest and
best In northern Colorado.
The reservoir is located partly in
Weld county and partly in Morgan
counties, few miles southeast of
Masters, on the south side of the
Platte river. 1t has a storage Ca
pacity of nearly two billion cubic
feet of water and was built at cost

This cost also includes the construc-
tion Of great deal of inlet and out
let canal. The work was done under
the supervision of Engineer L. L.

THE PUBLIC INVITED
Union Pacific Makes a New
Wreck Rule

J. L. BARTLETT was in Denver Sat-
urday, invited with other Greeley
business men, to be present at the
inquiry by Union Pacific railroad
officlals into the causes of the
freight wreck at Pierce last Thrus-
day. The Investigation showed that
of the entire train crew only the fire.
man, who had practically nothing to
do because they were on down
grade, and a student brakeman, who
had no official duty, we're carving
out their work according to the rules
of railroading.
The first rule is for the freight
conductor to receive in triplicate
the train order from the station
agent and then give copy each to
the engineer and head brakeman.
This rule was broken by the engineer
receiving the order. The rear brake
man did not go back to flag another
train known to be due in a few
minutes, although the main part OF
the freight train was left standing
on the passing switch. But the
worst part Of all was the entire
crew leaving thirty-eight freight
cars standing on down grade un-
guarded, while doing some switch
ing.
The result of it all was that the
string of cars got away and ran
down hill for nearly twenty miles
before derailed and smashed by the
agent at Pierce. The cash loss was
about $40, 900.
The Union Pacific has inaugurated
the policy of giving the widest pos
sible publicity to accidents and
wrecks on It's road and the investiga-
tion conducted last Thursday was
the first one held under the new
order.
