LUMBER TARIFF
Up IN SENATE
SENATOR SIMMONS TAKES TWO
HOURS FOR SPEECH.
1e Wants Tariff to Remain and Would
Not Yield to Discuss the Demo-
Cratic Platform on This Important
Question.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-An ex-
haustive treatment of the lumber
schedule of the tariff schedule by Mr.
Simmons, of North Carolina, was the
feature of the session of the Senate
today. Mr.. Simmons spoke for three
and a half hours in support of the re-
tention of the present tariff, which,
he maintained, was but a revenue
rate. Several times the National Dem
ocratic platform of 1908, which de-
clared for free lumber was injected
into the discussion by Republican
Senators and Mr.. Bacon, of Georgia,
remarked that he was not bound ~
declarations written into a platform at
midnight by a few interested men.
Mr.. Burkett, of Nebraska, whose
home city is Lincoln, sought to state
when and where the Democratic plat.
form actually was drawn, but Mr.. Sim
mons refused to yield time to pre-
long that discussion. Mr.. Brown, of
Nebraska, advocated a constitutional
amendment for an income tax, thereby
placing it beyond the pale of the courts
to further hold that such a tax was
not constitutional. After a brief ex-
ecutive session the Senate, at 3:52
p. m, adjourned.

While playing near large hole of
water which had been up against the
railroad embankment, near River ave-

May Hogan, aged about z years, fell
into five feet of water, and had gone
down twice in her struggles when she

at the time and saw the little girl
fall.
Mr.. King was coming up the Missis-
sippi Central railroad, and noticed a
little girl standing on the embank-
ment. He looked off, and when he
turned his head, the little figure was
gone. Pretty soon he heard screams
and saw the little form come to the
top of the water. He ran and sprang
into the water to his waist, reaching
down , pulled the little one out, and
soon had her all right again, and sent
her home

against him. Montreal was sore over
the Bumpus Jones deal and Toronto
was boosting Barrows.
Buffalo was swaying in the balance,
as it were. and his friends went ia
work on Stein. with the result that
p. T. secured the five votes which
We're all that were necessary to insure
his reelection. When the result Of the
vote was learned IL was resolved to
make the vote unanimous, but McGin-
nifty refused to vote.
1t was decided after the schedule
question had been discussed at the con-
ference of the Eastern League mag
mates to open the season Of the league
on April 20 and q. The season will not
close until September 25. 1t was de-
cided that the first game should be
played at Baltimore on the Goth and the
other six clubs will not get into ac-
ton until the following day, at New
ark, Jersey City n Providence. II
has been the custom of the league to
open the season in the east, but the
idea of opening at Baltimore On the
goth and starting the season in the
other cities on the following day Is a
departure from the usual custom.

the magnates as he thought. The
Eastern League is growing all the time
and it needs the brains of an I'M
tramelied executive.
1t is understood that Jacob Stein, of
Buffalo, MAJ be the leader next year.
1t would be well for all the owners to
get busy right now and build their
fences. Pick out a good man n elect
him. 1t Is evident that all think there
should be a change in the leadership OF
the league. p. IT. Powers knows the
game well enough, if he wished to give
the time to the league, to make the
organization far more fiourishing than
1t is. But 1t would be worse than doing
nothing 20 elect a man who would not
len dignity and brains to the league
to succeed Mr.. Powers, who, when all
is salt and done, is at least capable.
There are several men who would
do well, notably Congressman Eugene
F. Kinkead and Fred Tenney, the
Giants first-sacker, whom McGinnity
proposed.

iioto.
We will not add further to our criti-
League leader since this is to be his
last year in the league, but hope that
he will prove by his administration that
he is willing to give more of his time
to the Eastern League than has former
ly been the case. That's the great oh
lection to Mr.. Powers.
One thing was proven by the result,
and that is the pull of Mr.. Powers is on
the go. The Eastern League needs
somebody patriotic enough to watch
out for it's interests all h time.
Mr.. Powers, by virtue of his many
sporting investments, cannot, if he
wants to, attend to them like another
man. The league is not what it should
be by a large majority. 1t is at the
mercy of the big leagues, and the lit
tie leagues, too. It's growth will be
hindered If there be nc man in charge
of things who can by his undivided at
tention take care of every opportunity
for the leagues advancement.
If the owners who opposed Mr..
Powers are sure that they can get
clear of him next year, they have the
hearty approval of all in voting for
Mr.. Powers this year. 1t may teach
Mr.. Powers that the league is bigger
than he is, and it will be a lesson to
future presidents.
If 1t be true that Mr.. Powers signed
an agreement not to run again next
year., certainly his election this year
is one OF the most remarkable things
that has ever happened in baseball. 1t
proves that he was not so strong with

hollow victory over his enemies
yesterday, when he agreed that
if he were reelected for the coming sea-
son he would not seek the honor for
the season of 1911. His election was
made possible when President Stein, of
the Buffalo club, cast his vote for the
Marathon king" after Powers had
made the promise recorded above. 1t
seems that the Buffalo president is
anxious to secure the presidency of the
appears that his ambition to secure
the presidency was the cause of his
finally voting for lowers.
During the long deadlock which was
the result of the first caucus for votes
many suggestions were made in an
effort to compromise between the OPP
posing factions. One suggestion which
the Powers supporters would not con-
slider was to the effect that the position
be split between Powers and Barrows,
the present incumbent was to have
been the president and Barrows was to
act as OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Another
proposition that met with the same fate
was that Fred Tenney, the late Giant
first-sacker, should be made a compro
mise candidate. The Toronto club was
the reasons that the election OF Powers
was delayed. Montreal, Baltimore and
Newark were against Powers, and the
Marathon king realized that the man
to go after was Stein, of Buffalo. He
knew that McGinnity would not yield.

of Colonel Barbour, the millionaire
thread manufacturer, and socially
prominent.
Barbour, who say he has challenged
Biddle for a finish fight before a select
audience of their friends, happened
into the gymnasium here while Jeffries
was training, and the professional
pugilist induced the amateur to box
and wrestle with him. Barbour. who is
6 feet az inches in height and weighs

showing that Jeffries declared that
