Anniversary
BOUTELL RECALLS SPEECH
In House of Representatives. Bill for
Free Carrying of Newspapers--How
He Turned the Tables on
Provincial Statesman.

Washington, Feb, 19.--0ne Of the
most dramatic scenes ever witnessed in
the House Of Representatives occurred
yesterday when Representative Henry
s. Boutell Of Illinois, chief ~Cannoneer'
in Washington, swept Taft men, Hughes
men, Knox men--iil fact all the fifty
seven varieties Of Democrats and Repub-
licans off their equilibrium and led all
alike in demonstratiye ovation TO
"uncle Joe
Boutell selected d noted anniversary
in the life Of Speaker Cannon TO test
his popularity. Just thirty four years
ago yesterday Representative Joseph g.
Cannon delivered his first speech in Con-
gress.
On that occasion a veteran congress-
man suggested to the House that Cam
non had oats ia his pockets"
Yesterday Boutell recalled that incl
dent. At first he did not mention Can
mons name, speaking Of the day as the
anniversary Of the maiden speech Of a
efellow member This member, on
February IS, 1874, had favored James
G. Blame in the Speakers chair, and
was defending bin for the free distri.
hutton, through the mails, Of public doc
uments and seeds, and for carrying
newspapers free within the counties of
their publication.
@Who was this man who handled HIM
self so we'll in his first argument in the
House and in the face OF ridicule was so
true and loyal to the folks at home, the
farmers and toilers VINO from the heart
OF this republiclp inquired Boutell. 1T
was Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, the
present speaker of the House.
Then followed scene that must have
touched the neart Of the rugged old
legislator from Illinois. From all over
the chamber came applause and cneers.
The members forgetting their political
affiliations, gave vent to their personal
feelings toward their speaker
tine oats that he sowed here thirty
four years. continued B0utell were not
wild oats, and they have yielded him
generous and rich returns. Three times
he has been elected speaker. His ca
pacity for growth seems to have no
limit And the thought that comes to
my mind today Is how gladly within
the few months the other plain people
who live on farms or work in mines or
shops will join the voters OF MS district
to reward this. their faithful servant.
who went forth in their cause thirty
four years ago, with oats in his pocket,
aud returned bringing bis sheayes with
him. by comforting upon him the ma
tion's final honor"

KNOWN AS PRINCE o. ATHLETES
Lord Desborough an Important charac-
ter in All Branches Of Sport.

Lord Desborongh the president of the
Olympic games committee, is known in
England as the "prince Of athletes" a
title earned BY long and active associa-
ton with all branches of sport. He is
above all else the great amateur. lie
was first attracted to the Olympic
games because they were designed az
the nucleus for the amateurs Of the
world. Perhaps no man in England has
had as remarkable career in the ath-
letie world as Lord Desborough He
began his public athletic career in 1878
as member Of the winning Harrow
cricket eleven, AMI as he will be one Of
the competitors at the Olympic morse
show in June his activity extends over
a period of IS years. His most note
worthy performances since 1873 are;
Winner Of the Harrow mile and other
races, member Of the Oxford varsity
eight in 1s77-7s. president Of the Ok
ford university boat club, stroke of tins
Cross-Channel eight, member Of the win
ming crew Of grand challenge cup, Hem
ley. amateur punting champion for
several years, winner of the Epee prize
a. the military tournament, and member
Of the English Epee team at Athens in
1904.
Professional swordsmen from Toxic 20
Paris have a great share OF the spirit of
ncbIesse oblige, and Lord Desborough
has done more to advance sword play in
EngAand than any other man. If any
one game more than another gathers TO
itself all that is best in amateurism, it
Is rowing. and at least TO university
men in England Lord Desborougn il per-
ancestral home at Taplow Oh the
Thames has sheltered many Oxford
crews While at Oxford he rowed in
one Of the most famous Of all Thames
races. the dead heat in the university
race in 1877. While be has no supreme
feat to his account, he mas almost every
game and sport there Is, including poll
tics, and what is infinitely more to the
Britisher, lie has done the game and
sport good He Is one Of the most fin
ished and accomplished athletes in
swimming, cricket, rowing, field and
track athletics. football fencing, snoot
ing, tennis and rackets, in addition to
being mountaineer and four. hand
whip.
Lord Desborongh twice swan across
the Niagara. He was founder and pres
ident of the Bath club and has done
nucn toward promoting the life-saving
society. Some Of the rooms at Taplow
court would at first glance give visitor
the suggestion that Lord Desborougn
was above all else a hunter There are
trophies Of many beasts from many
lands, but the hall giyes something Of
an epitome Of Lord Desborough's ath-
lttic progress. Besides the many cups
and medals are several oars, and most
distinctive Of his originality in athletic
endeayor, the pair Of scnlls with which
he seulled from Oxford to London. His
travels, his ascent Of the famous Mat
terhorn, arc memorable in the history Of
English sporting annals.
