SAN DIEGO, March 16.-Only one
game was played in the polo tourna-
ment at Coronado today, the Ranelagh
team of England contesting' with the
Burlingames in the round-robin for the
Spreckels trophy. 1t was very one
sided affair except In the first PERIOD
and Ranelagh won by score OF IL
20 1. The Burllngame second team
was composed of men who had never
played together before, either IN tour
nament or in practice. As result
they depended mainly upon Individual
effort and there was little team work.
The Ranelagh players showed much
better form than in their contest with
the Burlingame first team on Satur-
day. The Improvement In team work
was especially noticeable. The Bur-
lingame second team players showed
to best advantage at the beginning Of
the first game today. They started
with a rush and forty seconds after
the ball was put in play Parsons sent
in between the posts for Burlingame's
only goal of the contest.
After that feat, Burlingame rarely
had an opportunity to score, being al
most constantly on the defensive. OF
Ranelagn's eleven goals, Mackey got
five, Gill four and Rotterdam two.
FOR BurllnS&Ine, an bH6iishiidh' zap
tain u. N. Guest, did the especially
fine work.
Interest in the tournament now
seems conferred in the contest for sec
ond place in the round-robin for the
Spreckels trophy. The Burlingame
first team is generally conceded to be
sure of first honors. For second place
Ranelagl1's chances are thought to be
Increased by the improved showing
that was made today, and as a re-
suit the Englishmen and Bryn Mawr
seem to be the favorites for the sec
ond honors.
There are yet to be played ten games
in the round-robin. When these are
completed there will be three days of
play in the all-American tournament
There wf1l be no polo tomorrow, but
members of the visiting teams will
play golf. Three games in the round
robin are scheduled for Thursday.

Southern California and surely will
make good in the company they are
about to be associated.
''If they but show In their work in
the Texas league the same article of
ball they have dispensed on the dia-
mond about Los Angeles their making
good will not at all be doubtful. AL
though sorry to lose them from our
ranks, we congratulate them on their
good fortune in securing berths which
are more lucrative and which we hope
will be but a stepping stone to the
highest ranks of major leagues"

APPOINTS WHITE MAN TO
SUCCEED NEGRO COLLECTOR
Or. crum of Charleston, S. c., Who
Has Caused Heated Contro-
versy, Retires

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The con-
test over the appointment OF a collector
of customs of Charleston, S. c., which
was waged for so long a time over the
selection of DR.. w. ID. Crum. was ter
minated today by the appointment by
President Taft of Edward w, Du-
rant, jr.
Mr.. Durant is a white man, and as
the only objection to Crum was based
on the fact that he is a negro, it is pre-
sumed Mr.. Durant's nomination will be
confirmed.
DR.. Crum's nomination had been be-
fore the senate at each session since
January 5, 1908.
While he had been in office all this
time, he was never but once confirmed
by the senate.
The selection of Mr.. Durant is gem
orally accepted as the fulfillment of Mr..
Taft's announced policy of appointing
white men to federal positions of re-
sponsibility in the south.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The sec
ond days session of the house found
the members in a much calmer MOOD.
The question of the amendment or the
rules having been settled yesterday,
the tension was noticeably relaxed ana
q feeling of general good fellowship
was apparent.
The drawing of seats was the first
business to be transacted, and this
proceeding, although rather monoto-
nous to spectators, commanded the In
tense interest of the members.
AS a special compliment Messrs.
Bingham of Pennsylvania, the father
of the house; Sherwood and Keifer OF
Ohio, Payne of New York, Clark Of
Missouri, Tawney of Minnesota, Liv-
ingston of Georgia, Sperry of Connecti-
cut, the Oldest members of the house,
De Almond of Missouri and Talbot OF
H. aryland were allowed to select their
seats without reference to the result
of the drawing.
Some of the old members were espe-
cially fortunate in procuring desirable
seats. Messrs. Dalzell of Pennsylvania
and Mann of Illinois got their former
seats. Messrs. De Almond of Missouri
and Hitchcock of Nebraska were
among those equally lucky in their To-
cations.
A storm of laughter at the expense
of Mr.. Clark of Missouri was created
when he suggested that the Democrats
who were forced to occupy tht so-called
Cherokee strip" to the extreme right
of the speaker be allowed to choose
seats in the last tier and not be COM
PEELED to mix up" with the Republic
cans.

SUGGESTION Humorous


In view of the alliance of the Re-
publican insurgents and Democrats on
the question of modifying the rules
the humor of the suggestion became
at once apparent, but it nevertheless
prevailed.
Forty-four Republican and eleven
Democratic senators were in their
seats when the presidents message
was read before that body. 1t re-
ceived careful attention on the part of
senators, many of whom laughed when
the presidents suggestion that no leg
islation except that in relation to the
tariff be considered at this session
was read.
President Taft's message to congress
follows:
''To the senate and house of repre-
sentatives: l have convened the con-
gress in this extra session in order to
enable it to give immediate considera-
ton of the revision of the Dingley tar
iff act Conditions affecting produc-
ton, manufacture and business gen.
orally have so changed in the last
twelve years as to require a readjust-
ment and revision of the import duties
imposed by that act. More than this,
the present tariff act, with the other
sources of. government revenue, does
not furnish income enough to pay the
authorized expenditures. By July !
next the excess of expenses over re-
ceipts for the current fiscal year will
equal $100,O00,000.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-17

in this session be chiefly devoted to the
consideration of the new tariff bill,
and that the less time given to other
subject of legislation in this session
the better for the country
WILLIAM H. TAFT.
'The White House, March 16. 1909"
Republicans Cheer
When the presidents message was
read in the house the Republicans
broke out into loud and prolonged APP
plause. The message was referred to
the committee on ways and means.
Speaker Cannon announced the ways
and means committee and rules COM
mittee. The new members of the ways
and means committee are Cushman of
Washington, Republican; Harrison of
New York and Broussard of Louisiana,
Democrats.
Discussing the personnel of the COM
mittees, Champ Clark, minority leader
of the house, said:
"Originally the speaker had the power
and exercised it to appoint all commit
tees both the majority and minority
members.
"Under Speaker Reed, when Bailey of
Texas was the minority leader and
under Speaker Henderson l think that
the minority leaders were consulted q
good deal regarding the appointment of
minority members. When Cannon was
elected speaker and Williams minority
leader the speaker conferred on the
minority leader the favor of appoint
ing minority Numbers on committees
with one or two reservations.
"Now, the speaker resumes the pow
err of appointing the majority and NIL
nority members on committees for the
purpose of Furnishing me because had
the courage to fight certain things he
wanted done, He has perfect right
to appoint the majority and minority
members, and / am not complaining,
