Grafton of states and municipalities

He bases his whole work upon the
interstate commerce power of the
constitution and states that the pow
er of the nation to engage in the
consideration of these questions rests
entirely upon the navigability of the
stream which, of course, includes
the possibilities of making them nav
igable. The report is very sweeping
and the Endorsement of the bill, with
the suggestion of afew slight amend
ments, emphatic.
This bill was introduced by Sena-
tor Newlands before the preliminary
report of the inland waterways com
mission to the president was made,
and was regarded as forecasting the
views of the commission. The report
of the commission was practically
upon the same lines, and the secre-
tary of war refers to this afct.

The David GarriCk Club.

Some of the students of Trinity
University have formed a dramatic
organization to be known as the Da-
vid Garrick club. The club gave its
first public performance at the uni
versity last night, presenting that
well known play, David Garrick. .
The students who were cast for the
different parts acquitted themselves
excellently, and pleased a fair sized
audience.
The production, David Garrick, -
comedy in three acts, is based upon
a supposed incident in the life OF
that great orator.
The four leading characters, Mr.
Ingot, Garrick, Ada Ingot and Dick
Chivy, were presented with special
force, and the minor parts were all
well formed.
The efforts put forth by the mem
bers of the "Garrick club in getting
up this play were certainly not il
vain, as last nights performance
showed. To Miss Spencer, director OF
plays for the club, is also due the
highest credit for the success of the
play

BRYAN NAMES IDEALS
GOD LIMITS BADNESS OF MAN
TO ONLY A FEW
YEARS.

New York, April 23.--It was half
past one yesterday morning when
William J, Bryan reached the Grand
hotel, where he was scheduled to
speak to the Missouri Society. In
opening his speech he said he was
glad so many Missouriaus had come
to New York, as he knew they had
carried with them the ideals of the
western state, Continuing, he said:
The strength of the nation is in
the Missouri life, the simple life of
| the country, more than the complex
life of the city. The strength of our
life must not be lost in refinement

| hands of the people of the country
and that no honest industry need be
alarmed over a law that may be
passed. The patience the people of
this country have shown under ex-
tortion and unjust laws ought to be
sufficient to show that they can be
trusted.
I'VE have lesson to learn in this
country and an important one--that

on the age, so that some would make
them perpetual

Washington, April Ex-senator
Newlands of Nevada is prepared to
press his bill for the appointment of
a permant inland waterways COM
mission, for the creation of a water
way fund and for the improvement
of the inland waterways. He is great
ly encouraged by report from the
war department which was received
Tuesday by the senate commerce
committee, Which approved of the
bill.
Secretary 1uf, has aligned him
self in favor of the Newlands bill
senator Newiands said he believed
the senate commerce committee
would make favorable report and
that he was hopeful congr ess would
pass the measure this session. He
regards the matter of proper con-
troll of the inland waterways as one
of the foremost questions before the
public at this time.
He is particularly pleased that
Secretary Taft, a republican, should
approve bill introduced by dem
ocrat. Mr.. Newlands says the control
of the waterways is not a partisan
question, that it is first, last and all
the time a question of business, OF
economics, and that it is gratifying
that republican secretary of wal
should see it in that light.
Mr.. Taft submitted to the senate
commerce committee an exhaustive
report approving the main features
of the bill as involving comprehen
sive plans for the development of the
waterways, the coordination of for

in this state are with me. OF course
some of them are not; there are Con-
federate conscripts and deserters,
who are not on my side, but 9S per

TALK NEW GO If R ULEs
IN GAMES COUNTRY,

Al Glasgow, Sept, 23.--The proposed new
rules of golf, which have; created much
discussion during the last feW@nonths,
came up for consideration at ~ extra,
ordinary general meeting OF the Royal
: and Ancient club, held a few days since
at st. Andrews under the craftsmanship
OF Lord Stair This meeting WAS arr
ranged 50 that amendments to the
draft rules, drawn up by the rules Of
golf committee, could be proposed be-
fore the formal acceptance OF the code
at the usual half-yearlyfibusi meet
Ing of the club8on Sept. %.
One of the most important recomrnen-
Adatiors OF the committee was that the
penalty for "out of bounds should be
loss OF, both stroke and distance and
to this the meeting agreed. Both John
Graham Jr,&the Scottish international
golfer, and G. a. Palmer, the we'll
Known Birmingham player. had given
notice of amendments to the effect that
the penalty should be the same as in
the past, namely. loss of distance only.
The view found considerable favor
among golfers, because it was felt that
an Increase of punishment Would lead
y to ra-careful play when there was II
$cllance3$of a competitor hitting a ball
out Of bounds; but the argument OF
the committee that a ball struck out of
bounds ought to be as heavily penal
lied as Il ball lost or. lying nnplayabie
on the&coui.se, met with the meetings
approval. IF the rule is accepted on
SEPT. 20, as no doubt 1t will be, it will
lead to An apprecia Bile heightening of
scores on some courses When Harry
5Vardon made his record of ~ ut Holy
foke in the open championship of 1902.
he drove twice out of bounds at the
first hole. He did precisely the same
thing at Prestwick this year. RI
An important amendment was that
of ]. Il. Inglls: IF a ball on the put-
ting green be in casual water. or. if
there be casual water between 1t and
the hole, the ball may be lifted without
penalty, and placed by hand either di-
8rectly behind the spot where the ball
lay in water.or in the nearest position,
which ffords n put to the hole with
out water intervening, but such posi-
ton must not be nearer to the hole
than the spot from which the ball was
lifted. w This also was accepted. The
committee themselves proposed in 1904
"a rule to the same effect as the above,
but 1t was rejected.
The committee recommended that
the lost ball penalty should be the same
in both match and medal play This
official announcement preslma bly,
means that the penalty for lost bail
in match should be stroke and distance
3(the9 same is for a bali out of bounds).
instead of the present penalty of lost
hole.
In regard to section 3 OF rule four,
which reads: When playing through
the green or from a hazard, player
may have the line to the hole Indicated
to, him, but no mark shall be placed
nor shall any one stand on the proposed
line while the stroke is being played
B. Hall Biyth proposed to delete every
thing after the words indicated to
him. and to substitute by his caddie,
his partner. or his partners caddie."
This was. after discussion, defeated.
