WHO WILL CAPTAIN

Boiled Down. 1t Looks Like Ganley and Unglaub Are
Only Logical Candidates-Hall Backing

By THOMAS S. RICE.

There is something doing I'm the Wash
ington ball club. but nobody seems to
know what it is.
The gossip centers mostly around Gan
ley. left fielder and captain last year,
who hit Bill Burns, the star scuthpaw,
with a bat and otherwise was much in the
public eye. Although President Tom
Moves said yesterday that he knew
nothing Of a proposition to make Bob
Unglaub captain, and although it Is
certain Cantillon would not close q deal
with Unglaub to lead the team without
the manager first consulted the owners,
the fact THAI Uuglaub isl under the i'm
preston he VIII be asked TO take the
captaincy looks like somebody aas been
sounding that worthy and laxative
young person
A director and big stakeholder in the
club was shown the story yesterday
that Unglaub would accept the cap
taaincy-ifr given $500 extra-and two
physicians are still working over him.
AS a talker, Unglaub is the goods. but
when he talked ali OF $500 I'm a bunch
in these hard times, he made a noise
ike an explosion that scared the stock
holders nigh unto death. They knew
Unglaub would exude words without
any extra compensation, and the idea
Of his charging was more than they
can stand.

National League pennant last season.

Weimer during the time that waivers

The company suffered the loss OF

destoyed the smelter plant some time

GOTH CONGRESS
ENDED AT NOON
YESTERDAY
(By Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The
sixtieth congress ended at noon to-
day and the final act, though unof-
fetal in so far as the house is con-
cerned, took place in the senate
chamber, where both houses wit
messed the incoming of the new adj
ministration. The senate will meet at
noon tomorrow and consider Presi-
dent Taft's nomination, but the house
will not convene again until the ex-
ira session begins on March Is.
During the sessions Chairman
Tawney of the appropriation commit
tee of the house declared the expen-
diture of the government had at no
time except in war increased as rap
idly as during the last eight years.
This condition was caused, he de-
clared, by popular and excessive de-
mands made upon congress for ap-
preparations for exercise rights, for
functions belonging exclusively to
states and by the abnormal unneces.
sary war expenditures during time
of peace. Senator Culberson sub
mitted statement covering the last
eight years. showing the appropria
items had increased in that time 6;
FER cent. or 1915. 100000.

after the style of those in the larg-
est mines in the country and will
have five compartments, two for
handling ore in five-ton loads, and
two for handling men. The cages
for the latter purpose will be large
enough to accommodate forty men at
time and will be double-deckers.
Owing to the fact that the work
ings on the Alpha will be for the
most part 1000 feet deep, it will be
necessary to have large shaft and
be able to drop the men down and
pull them out of the shaft in good
sized punches in order to save time,
as with smaller equipment the
amount of time required for that
work would take too much from the
hours of labor that a man could get
inand would make the mining cost
appreciably higher.
