revenge on that rampageous Republi-

victOry-the first for some time.
incidentally American League Park

ton long before play ball" was sound
ed, and there were rooters from every
section for both sides. Because of the
fact that the proceeds are for the Play

Fate and politics are playing havoc
with the two teams. Johnny Fitzgerald.

the present session by fixing the House
rules in manner not entirely satisfac-
tory to Champ Clark. was not in the

of the best baseball players in the
House. When he attended Manhattan
College he was the star catcher OF the
varsity nine. Captain Garner. OF the
Democratic team, took Fitzgerald's
name under consideration, but when he
reflected that the impetuOus Tom Hefin,
of Alabama, waste do the pitching, ne
decided to take no chances on a riot
and ''Fitz'' can't even sit on the bench.
Hehin is a Clark follower and he
wouldn't throw a ball TO a Democratic
tnsurgent even TO get put out.
The big show on the Democratic team
is ollie James, Of Kentucky. ollie
weighs several hundred pounds and he
has been selected for first base not
because of his ability to catch ball but
because he takes up so much room that
first base will never be visible. The
Republicans are going to have John
Dalzel, OF Pennsylvania, bring IN a
special rule allowing all runners to re-
main on first base who touch any part
Of the bulky James person before he
catches the ball.

SAYS PRESIDENT
NEED NOT TELL
Senate Committee in Embarrassing
PoSitiOn-What B0naparte
Said.

Washington. Jan. 27.-That the SEN
are has no right to call upon Presi-
oont Roosevelt for information which
he may have obtained from the Unit
ed States Steel corporation when he
countenanced that concerns ABSORB
ton of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company, is the opinion of the spe-
cial committee on judiciary appointed
to investigate the matter. The situa-
ton is proving decidedly embarrass-
ing to the judiciary committee, but
regardless of this fact it has been
decided to proceed with the inquiry
and report to the senate whether the
president had authority to permit the
merger
When the committee called upor
Attorney General Bonaparte to ap-
pear before it at recent meeting, a
reply was received declining the in
vitation. This invitation was not
made public. 1t is now known that
Mr.. Bonaparte directed the commit
tees attention to the act to establish
the department of commerce and
labor and argued that it is bar to
any demand for such information as
the president may have acquired con-
corning the necessity for the absorb
ton of the Tennessee concern. Under
the act, the commissioner of corpora
tions is empowered to gather from
corporations engaged in interstate
commerce such data and Information
as will enable the president to make
recommendations to congress for
their regulation. This provision of
law concludes as follows: "And the
information so obtained or as much
thereof as the president may direct,
shall be made public"
The data supplied to the president
by Judge E. H. Gary and H. T. Frick
as to the necessity for the merger,
according to Mr.. Bonaparte, comes
within this clause of the commerce
and labor act Without this informa-
ton it is difficult for the committee
to proceed, and the steel trust Off
Gals may be suboenaed to testify be-
fore the committee.
Although several meetings have
been held, the judiciary committee
has not been able to decide upon any
course OF procedure which would not
seem to threaten a quarrel with the
president. There is a disposition on
the part of majority of the mem
bers Of the committee to proceed
with the inquiry, although no pro-
gram has been arranged.

JURY GIVES
Man z YEARS
{. L. LaMarre Convicted of Stealing
Horse and Buggy From
Clyde Gaines.

The jury in the case of E. L. La
Marie, charged with horse stealing
returned verdict Tuesday afternoon
giving him two years in the peniten-
tiary. LaMarre it will be remember
ed came to this city last summer,
accompanied by young lady, who
he claimed had eloped from Buffalo,
New York, with him, and put up at
one of the hotels and where they re-
mained for about a week when he
took a notion that he wanted to see
some of the famous Bluegrass Sec
ton of Kentucky, and applied to
Clyde Gaines for a horse and buggy,
saving he wanted to go to Paris and
several of the other adjoining towns
and that he would be back the next
day.
Time drifted on and LaMarre did
not show up and Mr.. Gaines started
an investigation about his horse and
came to find out that he had cut out
as much of Kentucky as possible
and had made line for the Buckeye
State. When found he was in Ports
mouth, Ohio, and it is alleged made
several attempts to sell the horse and
buggy.
He was arrested and brought back
here where he has since been In Jail,
and his companion was sent back to
her home in Buffalo.
Ten Days in JAIL.
Clay Robins, charged with illegal
sale of liquor, was given ten days in
Jail.

Set Aside 100000.

Forced to separate, the trustees set
aside 100000 for the benefit of the
colored people, and have been using
the income to send promising young
colOred people to Fisk, Tuskogee and
other distant schools. Now the "Ad-
justment Fund" is to provide $780,
900 to take the place of this capital
Withdrawn from the mountain work
and to give another 100000 for the
colored people so that the total
equipment shall be 100000. The
large initial pledges of Mr.. Carnegie,
Mrs. Sage. and others, and in fact,
the whole adjustment Fund" is to
benefit both races.
At the close of Prof. >Frost's ad-
dress a motion was made to have
Judge Benton appoint a committee to
solicit funds for the school here, but
the appointing of this committee was
deferred until sometime Wednesday.
There will be another meeting held
next Saturday at 80 p. M, at the
court house and every one is invited
to attend.
On Wednesday morning, Judge
Benton appointed the following COM
mittee:
Judge W. M. Beckner.

The Plan of the School.

The following is the substance of
DR.. Frost's remarks regarding the
plan of the school:
The management will be in the
hands of Berea College, until a new
and representative board of trustees
can be organized. The teaching force
will be partly white and partly color
ed. The location, yet to be selected,
will be in the country rother than in
any town, and accessible from all
parts of the State. The courses of
instruction vii lbe for the training of
teachers who shall have an interest
in industrial training and for cul-
tivating manual skill and efficiency.
There will also be scholarships to
assist students who may profit by
longer courses of study in other in
stitutions, so as to raise up an in
telligent leadership. The equipment
must include a school building, in
dustlial buildings for both men and
women, girls dormitorv with board
ing hall for both sexes, a boys dor
mitory, home for white teachers and
a home for colored teachers, barns,
and a large tract of land. Cooper
alton will be sought with all existing
schools and all the religious bodies
Of the State.
