Mr. Pryor came here from Texas
armed with a resolution passed by
the Texas Cattle RaiseTs' associa-
ton condemning the action Of the
packers as unjust and ~unreason-
able"
N the packers do not withdraw
the order, the only thing for the
Texas cattlemen to do is TO build a
packing house of their own, and thai
is exactly what we shall do" Mr..
Pryor said. by assessing each Tex

cattle they own. we will have more
than $1,000, 900 to build a packing

there is in operation we will build
another one in Kansas or maybe In
Kansas City, because the Kansas
cattlemen are just as indignant at
the order as the Texas cattlemen."

These are not the thoughts of

of affairs, who see the necessity for

there are ways in which it may be

self from such misfortune by keep

present. While the session was held be-
hind closed doors, It Is said that the sub
ject Of international matches for 1908 also
took up considerable time In being dis
cussed. While nothing definite was ar
rived at In this respect. the prospect Is
good for important matches here next
season. and these will Include competitions
for the Dwight F. Davis international
challenge cup.
The matter Of the cup matches appears
to have been brought about by the inten-
ton Of the famous Doherty brothers to
visit the courts of this country next sea-
son. They have decided through the Eng
lish Lawn Tennis Association to challenge
The Australasians for the cup. With the
English challengers in this country the
Britons are DESTROYS that the Americans
also challenge for the cup. so that the
preliminary tie matches between the ma
tons may be played In this country. A
member of the executive committe point
ed out that such 4 move was provided for
in the rules controlling cup matches AS
Germany Is contemplating challenging, the
team of the German lawn tennis players
would therefore compete in this country
also.
Thomas C. Trask Of the ranking commit
tee said that the IN and out form of the
palyers this season had made the task
of rating the players a most difficult one.
Every effort was being made to accom-
plish the work in the most systematic
manEfr. The players throughout the
country had been requested to send In to
the committee brief record OF their
seasons play. Strangely enough, the less
spond. while the men who might easily
expect to make the first Ave or ten. the
real roll Of honor, had neglected to do
their part In this respect.

The resolutions recently passed by the
Pomona Grange of Montgomery designed
to change the practice existing in the
Washington markets relative to space al
lotted farmers, evoked lively discussion.
and several members of the club and Wis
itors went on record as opposing any
change. Under the present practice far
mers in Prince George county who visit
the market three times week are ac-
customed to occupy certain space in the
market. 1t appears that farmers from
Montgomery county, who do not visit the
market as frequently as those from Prince
George, have been compelled to take what
ever space they could secure. They want
to change the system. so that farmers ar
rlving at the market early in the morning
be allowed to take whatever stand they
can find. Commissioner Miller and Messrs.
John Showden and Fillmore BeaIl spoke
against any change.

SOLDIER BURNS
AFTER "KID" SULLIVAN

BALTIMORE. Md, October 21.-Soldier
(Winheld) Burns. the clever local light
weight, put in hard days work yester-
day in preparatio for his ffteen-round
battle with Billy Kolb of Philadelphia be-
fore the Nonpareil Athletic Club of High
landtown. at POllock's Casino, tomorrow
night. Burns entertained a large num-
Der of friends at his training camp at
the headquarters of the Nonpareil Club.
and his admirers were very we'll pleased
with the speed that the local man showed
in his workout This will be the first battle
of the season for Burns, who has made
a clever record for himself both in the
Baltimore and Philadelphia rings. Burns
is very anxious to beat kolb, for If he is
successful over the Philadelphia he will
demand battle with Kid Sullivan of
Washington. While many Of the boxing
fans are of the opinion that Burns is not
legitimate lightweight, Burns declares
he is ready to do 49, pounds for Sulli-
van at any time Henry Pollock. who is
again looking after the interests of Burns
Is ready to post a forfeit that Burns can
make the weight and be good and strong
Burns has been working hard for the
bout with Kolb, as in the Quaker City
pugilist he will meet a boxer who is a
veteran at the art and has won many
fought battles. Burns and Kolb will
figure IN the opening bout of the season
OF the NonpareA Athletic Club.

ARMY LIFE LOSES ITSt LURE
COAST ARTILLERY Is SHORT
10000 MEN.
Commissions Going a-Begging.
Young Men Prefer Civilian
Occupations.

There Is short cut to a commission in
the U. 8. Coast Artillery without passing
through the portals of West Point but,
strange to say, young American college
men do not appear disposed to take .ad-
vantage Of the opportunity. Nothing could
better illustrate the straits to which the
army is reduced than the fact that not
only Is 1t unable to get enlisted men to
fill the ranks. but it has been found i'm
possible to secure even officers for the
rapidly diminishing army. There has al
ways been the strongest kind of pressure
now that the way opens to secure an ap-
pointment as second lieutenant directly
and without the four-year course at the
Military Academy, no one seems disposed
to profit by it.
Capt. Hagood. of the coast artillery,
who has been specially designated to col
lect information for the War Department
as to the causes and remedies for this re-
markable situation has this to say about
it:
For the first time in the history of the
army. vacancies in the grade of second
lieutenant are going begging. The artil-
lery bill Of last year authorized the ap-
pointment in the coast artillery each year
for five years of sixty second feutenants
over and above ordinary casualties. In
vitations were sent to the presidents of
125 of the principal technical schools and
colleges requesting them to send in the
names Of graduates who desire to be APP
pointed second lieutenants in the coast
artillery. After waiting six months no
names have been submitted. Eighty-f1ve
vacancies In the grade exist today and
the only applications on file are about
twenty enlisted men and civilians The
fact Is that young men who have the
technical requirements prefer to remain
in civil life and share the great pros
perity Of the country rather than enter
the army on low pay with slow promo
ton
The enlisted force Is even worse of. for.
according to Capt. Hagood. there is need
artillery at $13 month with board and
lodgings. Some Of the facts he has COL
lected are startling. for not only Is 1t i'm
possible to recruit the army to the author
ICED strength. but the inadequate force Is
shrinking day by day. On the 18th In
the coast artillery. although its author
ICED strength is 1891 The service actual
ly lost z, 600 men in the past year. and the
non-cpmmissioned officers. particularly.
are leaving by hundreds for better jobs in
civil life. The civil employees at the army
posts are all far better paid than the
non-commissioned officers under whom
they are employed. On account of the
details for guard, the cooks. the sick. men
on furlOugh, ETC.. one company turned out
for drill with one officer and one private
As Capt. Hagood summed 1t up. the SOL
diers wont stand for 1t and they are quit
ting like rats leaving a leaky ship" All
Of which information Is to be presented
to Congress at it's next session In the hope
of remedial legislation.
