INSURGENTS STILL FIGHTING
Bailey viii Press Demand For Income
Tax, But Admits That Many Of lta
Friends Have Been "Picked Off,"
Taft Opposes.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Beginnlng
today the daily sittings of the Sen
ate will commence at 10 o'clock in the
morning. The hour has been adVanc-
ed in the hope of expediting final ac-
ton on the tariff bill by more rapidly
disposing of the long speeches as well
as of the detailed discussion OF the
various disputed schedules. The con-
sideration of the measure has devel-
oped greater opposition on the part OF
a dozen or so of Republican Senators
than was expected, and the support
ers Of the bill feel that every possible
effort must be made to exhaust their
criticism and bring the bill to vote.
So far, however, they have received
no encouragement from the lsur'
gents" and the Republican leaders are
quite in the dark as to when the end
NAV be reached. Indeed, they are find
ing less difficulty on that point in deal
ing with the Democrats than in deal
ing with the independent Republicans,
and the opinion is freely expressed
that but for this antagonism day
might soon be set in which to decide
the fate of the measure.
The discussion this week will deal
with the various paragraphs which
have been passed over, but there VIII
be a few speeches on the general tariff
question, including one by Senator De-
new. Senator Clay has prepared and
will deliver, probably on Tuesday, an
elaborate speech cr1ticising the sugar
schedule and undertaking to show
that it is in the interest of the sugar
combination. The razor schedule will
receive first attention today and Sen
ator simmons will continue his ef'
forts to have the rate lowered.
Senator Bailey will continue to press
his demand for a vote on the income
tax as a feature of the bill, but 1t is
an open secret around the Senate that
he is not nearly SO confident of a sue
cessful result of such vote as he was
in the beginning of the agitation. In
deed he has confided to some OF MS
friends, his conviction that some OF the
advocates of such a tax have been
picked off, by the enemy
The general impression among the
supporters of the income tax policy Is
that the cause in the Senate has been
materially weakened by the decision
of the President not to press for the
tax. In any event, it is not probable
that a vote on the question will be
reached this week.
In the House an attempt Will pc
made to pass the Philippine tariff bill
on Monday and the Porto Rican bill
on Thursday. Both bills will arouse
discussion, but it is not believed there
will be any stubborn opposition to
either.

INvINCIBLE TROY
HELD THE CADETS
TO A GOOSE-EGG
RRANHAM & HUGHES TWlRLER
TOO MUCH FOR THE
LOCALS.

Nv a score of TO 0 Branham q
Hughes defeated the team Of the
Columbia Military Academy Saturday
afternoon on the Academy field Both
teams put up a nice, clean article oil
hail and either team would be credit
to any prep school, but the visitors
deserved to win. C. NJ A. got one
man TO third during the day, but with
that exception they never had chance
10 score. The Cadets simply couldn'
connect with Troy's benders with any
degree of regularity, and so perfect
was the team work Of the visitors ana
the support they gave their pltcher
that for inning after inning the Ca
diets went down in one, two, three
order. In Troy, Branham & Hughes
have the best prep pitcher seen here In
long time. He has an unusual lot
of speed. good control, displays fine
head work and has a nice curve ana
drop.
C. M. A. went into the game crippled
bv the absence of Lennie Moore, VINO
broke a finger earlier in the week
while catching in practice game, and
the team was doubtless discouraged
as a whole at the beginning OF the
game by Moore's absence. But their
uneasiness was groundless as far as
the pitcher was concerned. Kilburn
was sent in behind the bat and played
the position in excellent style. He
probably did not have the range Oh
second down to as fine point as
Moore. and didn't take quite so many
chances in that direction, but he
nipped two runners trying to steal Sec
ond and taught the visitors not TO
take too many chances.
Bonnie Nichols was sent in to take
Kilburns place at first. This was his
first championship game and he nelo
down the initial bag so satisfactorily
that from now on his course Will be
watched with interest, and the gen.
eral opinion is that he will make
capital ball player He accepted
everything that came his way, and
with the exception of a wild throw
from third, he could not possibly pull
down he did not lose play, though
he cut one man off at first when he
should have played for the runner
from third.
Herrin was in good form and never
lost control during the entire game.
He pitched himself out of several holes
with two and three men on bases, and
while he was touched up more liberal
ly than Troy, it was the two or three
costly errors made by some OF the
infield that let the visitors across the
plate in all but one instance. Rebman
came in for applause by pulling down
a long fly from Turner.
An unfortunate situation developed
in the ninth, with G. M. A. at the
bat and it looked as if the game
might be called Umpire Ayers made
a raw decision in calling a strike on
the batter and thus precipitated the
trouble. Aside from this and proba-
bly, one other decision, Mr. Ayers
gave satisfaction to the spectators,
and was as fair as any other
umpire would have been and made his
decisions as he saw them. The posi-
ton of umpire is difficult and thank
less one, and every umpire is sure to
make some mistakes Mr.. Ayers made
no more than others who have pre-
sided at previous games on the acad-
emy grounds.

country back of Virginia he saw wild
turkey focks of more than 5000; while
in the woods of Pennsylvania they
were so numerous that their eggs
were easily found by the farmers
children and carried off to be placed
under setting hens. No doubt tur-
keys were abundant enough within
gunshot of the Plymouth settlement,
