ENTER new HOME
Reception and Banquet Arranged
for Day Taft Is In
augurated

While William H. Taft, the republl-
can of Washington, is moving into new
quarters at the White House Thursday
next. the Union league club of this city,
representing the republican element OF
clubdom, will also be performing
moving scene which, while not fraught
with national consequences, will do
very well in its way. On that day the
club will move into its new quarters in
the building at the southeast corner or
Powell and OFarrel streets. The
house warming will be celebrated with
a BANQUET and a reception.
Since the fire the Union league club
has been installed at Sacramento and
Franklin streets. But for two years
they have been busy with the plans
and construction of their new club
house. The building has been particu-
larly arranged for housing the club
and the interior appointments are such
that full opportunity will be afforded
the politicians who resort thereto to
carry on heir important traffic prefer
ment and slate making.
The banquet room will be finely ap-
pointed, the library will be an attrac-
five retreat and the other apartments
will be conducive to comfort and en-
tertainment.

WANT TAB KEPT
ON THE ASTEROIDS
Scientists Say There Is Danger
of New Ones Being Lost

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Feb. 2s.-An
appeal 70 astronomers to cooperate in
following the movement Of newly dis
covered asteroids or minor planets has
been issued by Prof Edward c. Picker
ing OF the Harvard observatory. and
Rev. Joel Il. Metcalf, the eminent Taun-
ton astronomer. The latter says:
7 now have about Is new asteroids
which have been discovered sufficiently
long to assure good orbits. It was sup
posed these were being computed at
the naval observatory at Washington.
But a recent letter from the acting SUI
perintendent shows such is not their
intention"
Professor Pickering says:
The discovery Of the asteroid Eros
Of the group whose mean distance is
approximately that Of Jupiter. and Of
the variation in light OF several as
teroids, has given a status TO this
department Of astronomical research
which it did not have previously. For
two or three years much useful work
was done by the naval observatory in
following the asteroids found by Mr..
Metcalf, and IL is hoped that the aban-
donment by the naval observatory is
only temporary It is eminentiy f1t-
ting that such work should be carried
on by the government as is done in
Germany, since il can not be main
tsined at private observatories. Mean
while some OF the asteroids mentioned
above VIII soon come to opposition.
Unless ephemerides for them are com
puted they can not be found. and there
Is danger that they VIII be permanently
lost"

UNCLE JOE" FLAYS
CRITIC OF "RULES'
HurIs Hot Reioinder at Pub
Usher Who Attacked
House Methods

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-Incensed by
an attack made upon himself and the
rules of the house by Edward E. Hig-
gins, president of Success magazine,
Speaker Cannon tonight made public
a letter vigorously defending the rules.
The rules may~not have been ideal"
he writes. but they have stood the
test among those who know them. in
spite Of half century of denunciation
such as Mr.. Higgins puts forth. The
foundation principles were laid down
more than a century ago under the
leadership of Jefferson and Madison
They have been perfected from year to
year to meet the needs of a growing
representation of a growing nation.
Il receive letters from men who de-
nounce the legislative. the executive,
the judiciary, the law, the church and
the rules of the house. One publisher
makes it point to denounce the mar
rowing influence of religion on our CIV
ilization. and demands legislation that
viii destroy this influence; and de-
nounces the fundamental law of the
land. and would destroy the constitu-
tion and the statutes; a clever stock
broker sends out bulletins attacking
the executive, and another advertises
his attack on business. Mr. Higgins
employs the same methods to attack
the speaker and the rules OF the house.
He attacks the present speaker as
representing the Observation-Disclosures
that may mean. 1 confess I do not
know, but have noticed the use of the
expression by those who, while ready
to attack men in public, still have a
regard for the libel laws and seek to
discredit without assuming the re-
sponsibility for simple and direct ac-
cusations which they might have to
prove OF suffer the consequences. Mr.
Higgins has the same respect for the
law, while he apparently makes free to
insinuate unworthiness against law
makers.
''As to the criticisms Mr., Higgins
makes Of the rules and the administra-
tion of them by the speaker, ! need
but say his letter shows he knows
nothing Of what he writes. That will be
evident TO any one who has ever
studied the rules or observed carefully
and honestly their administration. A
man who. without having studied the
law or practiced in the courts, should
criticise and denounce unfortunately
the law and the courts. simply because
he had heard the complaints of law
yers who had lost their cases, would
receive from the community the atten-
tion to which his ignorance and his
presumption fairly entitle him.
But it seems that any one, after
having sat at the feet of persons dis
satisfied with legislation, or dis
gruntled because of the failure of pro-
posed legislation. may become a patriot
and a molder Of opinion by denouncing
the rules which adjust the rights and
relations and secure the efficiency OF d
body of 391 members, representing the
complex interests of 90.000,O0O people,"

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING. SACRA-
MENTo. Feb. 2s.-Having had the rec
orcs OF the state board of railroad com
missioners searched, Senator Campbell
OF San Luis obispo is in possession Of
a mass OF material bearing on the Of
fetal actions OF Commissioners A C.
Irwin and Theodore Summerland. Camp
bell is taking counsel with his demo-
cratic colleagues to determine when he
shall spring his findings on the SEN
ate. A definite course will be decided
on tomorrow.
The recent appearance before the
senate committee on corporations of
Commissioners H D. Loveland and A
c Irwin did not by any means put an
end to the movement for an investiga-
tion OF the railroad commissioners.
WHITEWASH BY COMMITTEE
Following their unexpected appear
snce, Senator Campbelrs resolution
calling upon the three commissioners to
appear before the committee on cor
porations bringing with them the rec
Ords OF their official actions. was re-
ported TO the senate with an adverse
recommendation.
This action of the committee was
widely regarded as an intentional white
wash OF the commission, but II did not
6tshearten Campbell. He dispatched an
expert TO San Francisco to examine the
records Of the commission since H. D.
Loveland was appointed a member. The
investigation was not directed at him.
but TO determine what Irwin and Sum
merlsnd had done since Loveland's ap-
pointment--to find out whether the ar
rival Of a live" commissioner had
QUickened their mOribund energies.
One stumbling block in Campbelrs
path IS the unwillingness of the COM
mittee TO assume the burden of inves-
Vigating the commission.
LOVELAND NOT ATTACKED
If Campbell cares to make public
what he has learned about Irwin and
Summerland he may persuade the sen
-1e TO Overturn the action of the com
mittee- Campbell Is unwilling at this
time 10 tell what the records show. He
does say, however. that the frank state
ments made by Lovelaad before the com
n1ittee on corporations convinced Camp
bell and his associates that Loveland
has done his best to overcome the iner-
tia that has characterized the commits
sion for many years.
Travelling always IN the wake Of
Cempbels activities is Senator Can't
~--stti Of AmadOr with q. resolution call
ing for the Impeachment of the railroad
commission. Then there IS also Caup-
bells constitutional amendment provid-
ing that the railroad commission shall
be appointed by the governor. The ma
terlal which Campbell has gathered will
be invaluable in aiding the adoption of
this amendment, II IL fails in all other
purposes.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 2S.-While the Los An
geles delegation is attempting to hold
UP the Islais creek proposition until
after the Los Angeles consolidation
bill has been passed, their implied
threat to block the proposed San Fran
cisco improvements unless the consoh-
dation scheme goes through is not be-
ing seriously considered
A majority of the San Francisco del
egation in the assembly is now favor
able to the Islais creek measures de-
spite the peculiar tactics of Dominick
Beban, chairman of the delegation An
effort to force the delegation to stand
with Senator Savage of San Pedro in
opposing consolidation because OF a
reported pledge and thus prompt the
Los Angeles delegation to knife the
San Francisco inland harbor project
seemingly will come to naught.
DELEGATION DENIES PLEDGE
Several members of the San Fran
not bound to support Savage in his
fight to prevent Los Angeles from
absorbing his town. The row between
the two adjoining cities of the south
land does not interest them and they
are prepared to vote for the consolida-
ton bill rather than have the 1slais
creek bills jeopardized.
Speaker Stanton is using all his in
fiuence to force the consolidation bill
through the assembly. 1t appears that
the Southern Pacific organization,
through Walter Parker, has withdrawn
its opposition to the merger and thus
permitted Stanton, with his ambitions
to succeed Gillett as governor, to ad-
vocate consolidation.
SAN PEDRO VOTERS AGREE
Stanton has received a telegram to
the effect that AS of the IT'S voters
in San Pedro are willing to accept
the Los Angeles proposition, having
signed a petition.
With Savage undermined in bis home
town it looks as though the con-
sclidation bill as drafted by Los An
geles will be :passed without the San
Francisco delegation and the Islais
creek project becoming involved
The San Francisco delegation will
meet tomorrow, and Charles A. Nell
son, who is looking after the Islais
creek project in the lower house. feels
confident that majority of the mem
bers will vote to recommend the pass
age of the bills, despite the pernicious
tactics of George McRae, lobbyist for
the lumber interests that are trying
to have the bills amended so that only
A blocks instead of So will be con-
demned.

all sat down to light refreshments
which was fitting climax to the
pretty affair that will long form a
theme of happy thoughts to all who
were there. The guests present
were: Dorothy and Alice Schibroska,

P. H. S. VICTORIOUS.

Last Saturday afternoon the Per
Iysburg high school foot ball team
defeated Grand Rapids by score
of to 0.
The teams were evenly matched
and the game was one of the pretti-
est contests ever pulled off on the
local gridiron and but for a sensa-
tional run by Powell, the score
would have been 0 to 0. He caught
punt and ran nearly the whole
length of the field for touchdown,
and Finkbeiner kicked goal.
Perrysburg succeeded in keeping
the ball a greater part of the time in
Grand Rapids territory and several
times had it within a short distance
of the goal, but each time the visitors
succeeded in gamely holding the line
and preventing the home team from
scoring.
The game was marked throughout
by clean, sportsman-like playing, and
the Grand Rapids team created fa-
vorable impression, and will be well
coined again, should they ever visit
our village.
Next Saturday the Perrysburg
high school team will play the strong
Maplewoods of Toledo, one of the
strongest aggregations in the city,
and the contest promises to be very
interesting.
The game will be called at 2:3o p,
m. Admission 10 cents.
