ting souvenirs will be presented this year
as usual to the members of the Chicago
club In recognition of their victory In
the worlds championship series, but the
players will not be consulted cbout them
as they have been in past years Few will
forget the blase manner in which those
Cubs stood right up in meeting before the
series of 1906 and insisted on ha"ing cuff
buttons for theirs, so absolutely confident
were they of winning the series They
lost. and since then no advice has been
given to the commission by either of the
contestants previous to the games. 1t
has been customary. however. to ask the
winners what they would like TO have in
the way of a permanent remembrance OF
the occasion. This time the commission
will decide on its own hook, without any
advice from the athletes.
Medals have had the call heretofore,
but a change will be made this season.

for small inscription. Some of the pins
are set with diamonds, others with emer-
aids fancy sapphires and black opals. All
are neat and handsome, but not gaudy,
and the selection of the commission
should appeal to the aesthetic tastes of
the athletes.

BURNS Is GETTING
READY FOR JOHNSON

NEW YORK. November 12.-Reports
from Australia say that Tommy Burns
has already begun training for his COM
ing fight with Jack Johnson, the elongated
Ethiopian. who is bent on wrestling the I'll
tie of heavyweight champion from Thorn
as. Perhaps that is the reason Burns has
neglected to send along his regular press
notices of himself and his doings in the
land of the bushwacker. Let's see, Burns
is scheduled to fight Johnson at Sydney
December 20. so il looks as IL Tommy is
not going to take any chances of not be-
ing IN condition for the battle. Up to
date Burns has neglected his training
most shamefully. for he figured that all
the men he would be called upon to meet
in Europe would be easy for him without
any preliminary work And they were:
but Johnson is different And. besides,
they are matched to fight to finish.

chance with Burns but when ii comes to
finish, well. it looks as If the odds are

Court Acts in Case Of Thomas Veney

Criminal Court No. 1. Veney pleaded
guilty of manslaughter in connection
with the killing of Thomas E. Russell, a
white peddler, last June.

murder, but on his statement that he
struck the blow with a shovel and had
no intention of killing Russell. his plea
Of manslaughter was accepted. Veney
told the court that Walter Johnson. a
friend. was engaged in a struggle with
Russell, who had thrown him to the
ground. Johnson called to Veney that
Russell was killing him and asked We
ney to hit the peddler with the shovel.

NOISE DUE TO LIGHT RAILS
REPORT ON CONNECTICUT AVE
NUE. CAR LINE.
Complaints Received From Many
Sources by District Electric
Railway Commission.

That there is justification for the COM
plants Of the noise and vibration caused
by the street cars on Connecticut avenue
was shown by the report of Secretary
Eddy to the District electric railway
commission at it's meeting yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t also appears that this trouble
is largely. If not entirely, due to the light
rails, which are badly worn. especially
at the joints, and that 1t Is intensified by
the character of the underground con-
struction used in the Washington rail-
ways.
The railroad officials have promised
that new rails of the sixty-foot heavy
section type shall replace those now in
use early In the spring. and this, 1t is
believed. will largely remedy the trouble
complained Of.
Secretary Eddy reported that all the cars
of the newer type in use in the District
are equipped with electric headlights.
There are some of the old cars, however,
which are not.
In connection with a complaint from a
local fish merchant Secretary Eddy will
report at an early meeting as to the lack
of early morning service on the It'll and
9th street lines and the one running to
the bureau of engraving and printing.
east Washington Citizens Association OF
lack of cars on the Columbia line and
also on the City and Suburban line run
ming out c street northeast, and 1t was
directed that they be investigated and
the matter taken up with the respective
companies If the complaint is warranted.
A letter was received from the general
manager OF the Tampa and Sulphur
Springs Traction Company Of Tampa
Fla, saying the experience of his COM
pany with both kinds OF car led them
TO be very much in favor OF the two
step car as more convenient and comfort
able for the general public. He stated
that all their cars are equipped with two
steps now.
The general subject OF overcrowding was
discussed Mr.. Eddy made q partial re-
port upon the subject, but will continue
his Investigations and report further later
on.
Complaints have been received concern
ing the high speed of the cars on Con-
necticut avenue between IL o'clock at night
and / o'clock in the morning: the clouds
of dust raised by the cars; the closing of
the waiting room at the junction with
lack of cars on the Columbia and the
City and Suburban lines. the latter run
ming on C street northeast, and the con-
duct of conductor and motorman Of a
certain car toward prominent local ply
sician. They will all receive proper at
tentiOn, 1t was declared.
The consent of the commission that
the inventor of a device to prevent the
starting of the car while passenger is
on the steps be allowed to experiment
with it on local car was granted
