COBB AND FIREMAN DIDN'T GO.

It has just leaked out why it was that Tyrus Cobb of the Detroit Americans and the premier batsman of the American league, nor Jerry Freeman of the Washington club did not go to Japan with the team that Manager Mike Fisher took to the orient last week. It appears that both Cobb and Freeman insisted that, in addition to their transportation and salaries, tickets should be pro- vided for Mrs Cobb and Mrs Freeman respectively This concession Mana ger Fisher promptly declined to make with the result that their places were quickly filled.

: 'POLOCAMES
Old John Roberts is Playing the Same Tactics of Cover
 Point.

Bridgeport, Nov 12.-Bridgeport beat the polo leaders last night, to 6, in the hottest contested game seen here this season. The visitors were headed by Pierce and Cunningham, two warm favorites In Bridgeport, and played fast game. Had it not been for the superb defense put up by Carrigan and Canavan in block ing drives and taking the ball away from the opposing rushers, the Paw tucket score would have been much larger The work of these two play CTS together with the fast goals made were the features of the game.
 Pawtucket played pretty team game, but against such defense their work was almost fruitless of results. Bridgeport, on the other hand, played somewhat different game than usual, but in case it Is to be followed in the future, Roberts has to practice driving in order to make it success. Last night he was not only slow, but was very wild in his driving. He played what is known as the cover point game, that is, he remained at or near the opposing goal all of the time in order to help along the drives, instead of rushing with the ball, this duty devolving upon Lewis. Art
 The game broke up to certain ex- tent the team work of Bridgeport, since Roberts could not be at both sides of the rink at once. But taken as whole, the game was not so fast as the one with Providence last week
 Pierce and Cunningham were as fast as ever and were full of new tricks with the ball. The lineup and sum- mary: prfI Do ot

PAPER TRUST INVESTIGATION
CANNON RESOLUTION ADOPTED
BY HOUSE.
De Almond Says Commission Is At
tempting to Delude the
People.

Under suspension of the rules the House
ton introduced by Speaker Cannon in his
capacity as representative from Illinois.
providing for the appointment Of select
committee Of six to investigate the paper
pulp and the manufacture of printing "a
per.
In explanation of the resolution Mr.. Dali
cell OF Pennsylvania said it was a matter
of public nOtoriety that there had been
large increase in the price Of paper.
Never, he declared. had there been such
an agitation as had been aroused by the
newspapers the last few weeks. While
there was a consensus of opinion he said,
as to the increase. there was no consen
sus as to the cause Of that increase. IL
was he, said capable OF mathematical
demonstration that the increase was not
due TO the tariff. and he contended that IL
would not be cha- ged by a removal of the
tariff.
However that may be, he said, there
were those who believed that the in
crease was due to combination or trust.
and it was necessary to get the facts
upon which to base bill to meet the
case.
In the opinion OF MI. "IiildWS. the rise
in price was due both TO the tariff and
the combination and the combination is
due to the tariff If. he said. it had
been intended to kill the combination it
could have been done by putting wood
pulp and print paper on the free list.
Mr. De Almond. Missouri, declared that
the resolution was but another attempt
of the republicans to delude the people
and make believe there is an attempt
to do something when the direct attempt
is to do nothing

ACHARGEs AGAINST JAN1roRs.
Alleged They Are Careless in Super.
vision of Apparatus.

In a report made to the Commissioners
by II. r. Coburn. assistant inspector OF
buildings. it is alleged that some of the
janitors Of the the public school build
ings are careless in the supe rvison OF
the apparatus in their care Several
weeks ago the superintendent of the
water department reported to the Com
missioners that upon examination he dis
covered a leak in the water flow at the
Addison school amounting to more than
1000 gallons a day. The Commissioners
called the attention of the board of edu.
cation TO the matter and stated that
water is being wasted in large quantities
in other schools
In response to a request from the board
of education the Commissioners TODAY
forwarded a list of buildings which they
consider not properly cared for ~ the
1anitors. According to the report made
by Inspector COburn the janitor at the
Morse school has had no instruction in
gas engines i'm two years: the janitor
of the Twining school has had none in
four years: the janitdr OF the Cook school
has received very little instruction in the
handling Of gas engines; the jan!tor OF
the Hilton school has had no instructions
whatever and has Informed the assistant
building inspector that it was by the
niereSt accident that he started his en-
CINE at all the first time he attempted it;
that the gas engine at the Morgan school
has suffered considerable damage
AS a result of these conditions a COPY
of instructions will be furnished janitors
instructing them i'm the use Of gas en-
gines and other mechanism and appara-
tus under their care.
Regarding the waste Of water at the
Addison school. Snowden Ashford build
ing inspector. informed the Commission
ers that this Is not an isolated case. as
he knows of number of cases where
the water in the lavatories is permitted
to flow long after the school sessions. and
sometimes run all night and on holidays
He said that the Addison school is in a
group of three buildings, including the
Curtis and Hyde. and that the care OF
these schools could be greatly improved
on. He declared that the principal in
charge of these buildings has been fire.
quently appealed TO. but that he does
not appear to realize the Importance OF
such matters.
"For long time Mr.. Ashford said.
not provide himself with a key for turn
ing off the drinking fountains. and left
them running constantly day and night
for several months.
Capt. William Kelly. assistant engineer
commissioner who has supervision of the
building plumbing and water depart
ments. in a report to the Commissioners
contends tina: the waste of water men,
toned by the superintendent of the water
department and the building inspector is
due either to carelessness or Ignorance
on the part of the janitors. and it was
principally upon this report that the
Commissioners made the investigation to
determine the amount Of knowledge pos
sessed by the janitors relative to the care
Of the apparatus under Them and which

tablished himself in Philadelphia, where
he married Josephine Fritz and where
