ward w. Durant, Jr., for the position
Mr.. Durant is white man and it is
presumed his nomination will be con-
firmed in due course of time. Crum's
nomination had been before 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 one confirmation took
place in the Fifty-eighth Congress. The
remainder of the time was covered by
recess appointments.

Little Oliver, six years old, had
learned the song In which is oft re-
peated the refrain: GLORY, glory, hal.
lelujah," and for some time he had
been singing it with great enthusiasm
and vigor. Finally he became silent,
and after brief period Of cogitation
he said:
Mamma, what does 'halleluiah'
mean?''
AS simply as she could his mother
explained that it was religious ex-
clamation meaning praise the Lord"
He seemed rather surprised at the
information, but his next question of.
fered ample explanation of why he
had thrown so much vigor into his
singing. IF that's what 1t means" he
said, why do they throw corn and
have jack lanterns on hallelujah
night?"

ALL ROADS TO GET TOGETHER
Hartman Has Big Plan to Amend
Commerce Laws.

Pasadena, Cal.-There is report here
that E. H. Hartman has in mind a
scheme to bring about mutual under
standing in regard to traffic arrange
ments between all the railroads of the
country and uniformity of rates that
will be generally to the benefit of the
stockholders, and that the conference.
which is to be held at Pasadena while
Mr.. Hartman is here, will be concerned
more or less with the plan.
Mr.. Hartman evidently expects that
congress, at the special session, will
make some amendments to the laws gov
erning the interstate commerce commits
sion's work, which would permit of the
merger.
Mr.. Hartman was asked:
SLOW soon do you expect the railroads
to resume work on the improvements
that were contemplated before the pub
lic."
You may say" he answered, chat as
soon as an amendment is passed giving
the interstate commerce commission pow
er to allow the railroads to enter into a
mutual agreement-that is, permitting
the strong roads to extend their credit
and protection over the weaker roads
just SO soon will long contemplated i'm
proyements be rushed through to com
pletion."

WHIP TWO AND QUIT

sound beating.
Mcfarland has been talking a great
deal about my being afraid to fight
him Now have just this little propo-
sition to make to him. / will be ready
for him in November and I'll fight him
and allow him to come into the ring at
133 pounds three hours before the bat
tie I think that Packey is anxious to
get a big losing end for meeting me,
and for that reason I'll insist on a S5,-
600 side bet. Although 1873 pounds
ringside is the legitimate lightweight
limit, I'll relinquish all claim to the til
tie IL he whips me.
After I get through with Mcfarland
I'll look after this Thompson person.
I'll meet any of the other lightweights.
who can command a purse during the
coming year, but the men 1 am deter
mined to whip are Thompson and Nc
Farland. I'll return to Chicago about
Saturday and on my arrival I'll fix a
match with Packey at the terms men
toned above and deposit the $4,000
side bet"
It may be that Netherlands draw
with Bronson influenced Nelson in his
sudden determination to meet Packey,
but there is ring Of sincerity to what
he says and 1t may be that the two
premier lightweights of Chicago will
get together before they are claimed
by old age.

very promptly relieved him of his watch
and chain and then moved to another
part of the car. When nearing East

looked for his watch to see what time
1t was. but failed TO gnd it. He was
greatly excited for awhile until some
one tipped it off to him that Abe was
the pickpocket. His relief on hearing
this was as great as his excitement
had been before. He recovered his
watch all right and everybody in the
car laugh at his expense.

Battling Nelson is talking again, but
this time instead of discussing suits
against hotels or penning literary criti-
cisms, the Fighting Dane is talking
fight. The Battler in one of his per-
iodic outbursts in New York yesterday
made a noise that sounded just as If he
really meant to take on both McFara
land and Thompson and wipe them
both out of his path.
Nelson announced that he would be
fit and ready to fight in November and
informed Jimmy Cofroth of Colma and
Jim McCarey of Los Angeles that he
would entertain offers from them for
fights after Nov. /
There seem to be but two men who
are worrying the lightweight champion
and these two are Packey and Cyclone
Johnny Both these boxers have been
bounding the Dane for a battle for a
long time and If the statement credited
to Battling is true they are about to be
accommodated.

SCOTT WEAK; SOX LOSE
Isbell's Find Fails to Hold
Yankees and Game Is
Dropped by 5 to 0.

New York, Sept 22.-The white sox
fell by the wayside again yesterday,
when they were shut out in the open
lie numbers will be bright. animated and
ing battle of their series with the
highlanders by a score of 5 to 0. Jim
my Scott was far from being in his
usual form, and the fault was mostly
with his pitching, for the sox ielded
well, with one exception, Purtelrs
tumble in the second inning, which
cost two runs, but ii was Scott's wild
ness thot put two runners on the
bases ready to score on that error.
Six bases on balls were handed out
by Scott, and eight hits were mixed in
with the passes. Six hits were made
off WARRIOR. Three bases on balls were
given by him and he also hit three men.
Poor base running kept the sox out of
run column, for there were several
chances to score during the perform
ance.
