STATE W|DERS
UP IN THE AIR
PATTERSON STILL
HAS BILL AND THOSE WHO
KNOW HIM DECLARE HE
WILL VETO 1T.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 17.--Nearly
all the members of the legislature
were ort of the city today, and there
fore there was little or no polii
gossip about the hotels However,
there is an air of expectancy among
the business men and the few poll
tlcans here as to what Gov Patter-
son will do with the statewide ti'l,
and when he will do it, Most of the Sc
who know the governor and his rec
ord on this question: are convinced
that he will veto the bill AMI that
he will accompany the veto with a
strong message. The state-wids con
tingent are also much concerned.
They assert their perfect confidence
of enough votes to override the veto
in each house, and their confidence
appears ot be well based.
The effort to push through the
manufacturers bill on Friday failed
so it is alleged, because some of the
senators who voted for the companion
bin refused to vote for this bill unless
the opposition was given reasonable
time to present argument AS it IS,
however there is no chance for out
siders to appear because the bill has
been reported out of the committee
and is now before the senate as
special order for $3.50 O'Clock next
Tuesday This latter bill the wise
acres say, may MT pass, and If
does, and is vetoed by the governor,
will hardly pass over his veto. 1t is
likely to be amended to become ef-
fective Jam next, even the state
widers conceding that distillers and
brewers should be given little more
time.

long time to his listeners.
Dr Walker painted bright pr
ent and brighter future for the ne
groes in Georgia.
This report Taft regarded as most
encouraging; it gayo him an illustra-
lion for the cft-expressed belief that
the race question must be settled by
TIE negroes themselves, by beeomi &
indispensable to the community In
Which they lived 1t was hts belief
that y NJ c. A. had brought about
in this country more tolerance be-
tween the various religious denomE-
nations, and the speaker remarked Il
think a pretty good example of this
tolerance is the fact that ! am elected
president Of the United States.

nent of the Y NJ. G, A. work on [
lsthmus of Panama TAFT II mar c /;

His feeling of satisfaction that the
X. NJ. G. Al. work had found a place
among the negroes of the sonthcon-
stifhted the concluding thought "a Ahlsas
address which ended with the state
ment.
III the negro will be respected, he
must make himself worthy of such
respect"

from Taft that no person has author

that ever wore Newark uniforms" This
is what Harry Wolverton, manager OF
the Tigers, said this morning at his
office in the Union building.
Wolverton dropped in to see To- the
contracts are coming in and when
President Tommy Martin showed him
eight John Hancocks lying on the table
the newtleader of the Bengals appeared
pleased There are few of the men
holding out for more money, but their
demands are SO moderate that the mat
ter will be easily adjusted

present taking occasion to congratu-
late him IN his excellent showing in
the ring.
The ball was a success from every view
point. There were hundreds of Kline's
friends who did not go TO the ball, because
they knew the chances of tripping the light

PRES. PULLIAM
READY TO QUIT
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Executive Head of Body Says He
Is Tired of Squabble
Among Magnates.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1s.-There is plenty
of trouble brewing in the ranks of the
National League, and President Harry
Pulliam has openly declared that there
is opposition enough against him to de-
pose him as leader. Pulliam says ~
is ready TO quit any time. At a dinner
last night President Pulliam said:
My days as a baseball man arg
numbered. The National League doesn't
want me for president any more. 1t
wants to go back to the days of deal
ing from the bottom of the pack, hid
ing the cards under the table and to
the days when the trademark was the
gumshoe. I can't afford to quit or
would resign now from my position
which pays $4,000 a year. But ] will
have to quit at the end of this year
While the whole banquet room Vas
thrown into a state Of panic by the re-
marks, President Johnson, Of the American
League. jumped to his feet and said,
W refuse to believe that there are any
grounds for these statements. Pulliam has
been under a strain in the last few days
But Pulliam persisted. saying that Il,
while he was IN San Francisco, anybody
should offer him a job at $500 a year he

leagues have recognized the new "A claFsl-

ern and California leagues. Then, too. some
slight additions have been made to the
National League playing rules.
Yankees Sell Conroy.
One of the biggest deals arranged here
was the selling of Wild Conroy, the ALI
around star of the New York Americans. to
Washington. where he will hold down third
base. IT is thought that this move Is only
a f~orerunner to the trading of a pitcher and
outfielder by Joe Cantillon's team TO Man
ager Stallings's club.
Another big deal was when
the champion Detroits sold Utility Player

The alleged attempted bribery Of UmpireS
Klein and Johnstoue last fall was not re-
ferred to, and in all probability nothing
more will be heard from 1t.
The National League umpires will only
have power TO order a player off the field
next season, but no Jurisdiction to fine him.
Another rule is that a pitcher will have 10
stay on the firing line until there is at least
one out.
Neither the American nor National League
will be allowed to carry over twenty-fye
players after May Is, and the limit will be
thirty-fve In the off-season.
According to the schedule announced, the
New York Americans win open their season
team will not play at home till April -,
when the Washlngtons will be the attfae-
ton.
On July Fourth they will play two games
with the Athletics at Waship gton Heights.
