He didn't want to talk baseball. He
wanted to talk farm. He thinks
farming is the greatest occupation on
earth and says that so far as he knows
he will spend the rest Of his natural
life on the farm he took up as claim
a year ago.
What about baseball? Who are you
going to play ball with next year?
What clubs do you think are the best
for Duluth to go in with? What do
you think of the Minneapolis deal? All
these questions and more were asked
the shifty duke, and all the satisfac-
ton that could be gotten out of him
was, Say, did you ever in your. life
see bigger, redder strawberries THAI
those in that window. Now do you
know I have a place up" He was
given up by the reporter, for until the
agricultural worm gets out of his sys-
tenn he simply will not talk baseball.
He did, however, say that he had
come down for some Thanksgiving
good things, and some more reading
matter He is going back at once.

Lake said he was on sick leave himself.
and was travelling principally for the re-
lief Of his invalid wife.

Sale of Electricity.
Commissioners Given supervisor!
POwer-District Electrician
to Test Meters.

Representative Smith, Of Michigan. yes
terday introduced In the House a bill
proposing to establish in the District
system OF inspection of meters used for
measuring the consumption of electricity
for light, heat. and power.
The bill provides that the District Com
missioners shall make regulations to
govern the inspection, and they are
given power TO alter such regulations in
their discretion. They are also authorized
to prescribe reasonable fees for examina-
tion Of meters. Such fees are to be paid
to the District tax collector. and the
rules promulgated by the Commissioners
10 govern meter tests are 10 have the
force and effect Of law.
The examination OF meters is placed in
the hands OF the electrical engineer Of the
District. TO be made by his assistants IN
der the supervision of the Commissioners
The bill provides. however. to assist in
this work. an inspector OF electric meters,
at a salary of 5000 a year. two inspectors
at 81 200 each. a clerk at $1,000. and Two
assistant inspectors at s720 each.
All meters are to be considered correct
WHICH DO not vary more IMAM per cent
from the true record of current consumed,
and If It should be found that any meter
records a greater variation than this
against the consumer, it is provided that
the fee paid for the inspection shall be
returned TO him. and that the company
furnishing the current shall pay the fee.
The bill requires all corporations, firms,
and individuals who furnish electric cur
rent in the District to pay according to
their business. the cost Of fitting up and
maintaining a proper laboratory for the
examination and testing OF meters, and
that they shall upon the fling of a
written request from any consumer for
an examination OF HIS meter, convey the
meter to the laboratory. and return it,
after testing. to its place. II is specific
ally provided that the Potomac Electric
Power Company shall within ten days
after the passage Of the proposed act
deposit with the collector Of taxes S7,0o0,
to cover the cost OF fitting up and main
tanning for one year the required labora-
| tory, and 20 deposit, at the beginning Of
each fiscal year thereafter, 5000 in ad-
vance, to pay for the maintenance of the
/ laboratory for the succeeding year.

GAMBLING BILL IN THE HOUSE
Senate Amendments Will Be Ap-
proved Without Conference.
Statements that Sims Amendment
Constitutes New Law Pointed
Out as Absurd.

The bill to widen the Benning road. 10
which the Sims amendment so changing
the District anti-gambling law as 20 pro-
hibit race track gambling at the Benning
track. has been reported back TO the
House from the Senate. but the Senate
amendments TO the form of the bill as it
passed the House have not yet been acted
upon. the naval appropriation bin having
occupied all the time In the House since
the anti-gambling bill passed the Senate.
It is the understanding that the bill will
not be sent 20 conference by the House,
as the amendments are merely in the
form Of the measure, and do not affect
its subject-matter. Claims have been
made in some quarters that the Sims
amendment prohibits forms Of gambling
which are now legal in the District, but
this is pointed to as an absurdity by
those who know the law as 1t now stands.
The Sims amendment makes absolutely
no change in the law as It relates to
Washington. Georgetown. and the terri
tory within one mile Of the boundaries OF
those cities in the District It simply
remove the restriction which now leaves
the territory outside the mile limit at the
mercy Of the gamblers.
It was said yesterday that the bill prob
ably would not be sent to conference,
owing TO the mmaterial nature Of the
Senate amendments, but it was added
that It all depends upon Speaker Cannon S
attitude toward the bill. He is the man
who will decide the fate of the bill now, -
said member OF the House who desires
to see the bill approved by the President
and written finally into the District laws.
