NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON

SO far as can be learned in the
House there is little ground for the
reports that Speaker Cannon and bis
advisers intend to make the present
session one Of idleness. The predict
ions of the Democratic that the
Speaker desires to pass only the APP
preparation bills and adjourn seem
to eorroborats the adage that the
wish is father to the thought There
is little doubt that the Democrats
wouId like nothing better than TO see
a 'do-nothing" Congress, the Odium
Of which they could throw on the
Republicans and Speaker Cannon.
The Speaker has made no announce
ment as to the legislative program
he will seek 10 have adopted at the
present session not even to his inti-
mate friends. The fact Is that the
Speaker has not yet decided what a
majority of the Republicans want in
the way Of legislation as he has had
but little opportunity to consult with
them. There are, as yet, but few
important measures before Congress.
From close friend Of the Speaker it
is learned that he will not allow him
self to be placed in the attitude Of i'm
peding legislation which is desired
by a majority of his party in Con-
gress, no matter what his own con-
victlons may be. Mr.. Cannon
realizes that the next Congressional
campaign wilt be a serious one and
that a ,do-nothing" Congress would
give the Democrats a tatical advan
tage which might result disastrously,
He realizes further that a Democratic
House would mean repudiatiOn OF
the Payne tariff law, the House rules
and the conservative policies for
which ne has long stood. He feels
that a retention of the Republican
majority would be a vindication of
his administrations as Speaker. For
these reasons, it is maintained. he
has made up his mind to permit the
passage of those measures which
have the backing of a substantial ma
ljority Of the House and the indorse
ment Of President Taft. His friend:
Insist that ne has no objection tC
amendments to the Interstate Com
merce Law or Postal Savings Banl
Legislation.

amount paid in 1909 for fertilizers.
In 1899 the average for the United
States was only $40 farm. A new
question for the coming census calls
for the amount paid in 1909 for hay,
grain and other articles not raised
on the farm, but purchased for food
of domestic animals and poultry.
Four facts are required regarding
each principal crop grown on the farm
in 1909, namely the number OF acres
harvested. the quantity produced, the
value of the product and the number
OF acres sown or planted, or to be
sown or planted, for harvest in 1910.
Corn Crop Worth $3.50, $4,000.
The statistics of the last census
in 1899 was 10l ,7SS 900, the produc-
tion 1901 900 bushels and the
value OF the crop 81 610,145,OO0. The
wheat acreage was Asst, 900, the pro.
duction 100000 bushels and the
value of the crop $610S26.000. The
acreage of oats was 32344,000, the
production S97. 10000 and the value
1881 III, 900.
The livestock statistics of the same
year show that in the United States
there were 2O,64O,OO0 horses, valued

J. JOHNSON KNOWS HIS PLACE.
Swell Hotels Never Have Chance to
Turn the Fighter Away.

Turn the Fighter Away.
Fight fans who take keen delight in
reading of Jack Johnson's 10y rides"
and frequent arrests for breaking
speed limits, often wonder how 1t
is that he, the negro pugilist, is never
barred from swell hotels, as has been
the fate of Battling Nelson and Jack
OBrien, white fighters, says the Chi
cago Journal.
The answer Is this: Johnson knows
his place. He knows the prejudice
that exists in many quarters concern
the black man. Outside of that he
knows that many exclusive hostelries
do not care for the patronage Of
prize fighters. Therefore, he never
puts himself in the way of trouble
He never seeks the Accommodations at
these hotels and is, therefore,
never turned down. When he
travels he makes it a point to ride
on the best and fastest of trains, but
seldom shows himself to the passen.
gers. Reservations are usually made
through his manager, and he takes
stateroom or drawing room to him
self. There he Is served with his
meals and it goes without saying that
he receives every attention possible
from the beaming and admiring por-
tiers and colored walters. At stations
where stops of five or ten minutes
are made the black fighter quietly
steps out to the platforms to stretch
his elongated limbs, and just as I'M
ostentatiously goes back to his apart
, ment.
When staying in Chicago the fighter
seeks quarters in the home of some
well-to-do black brother in the "black
belt" He seldom invades the down.
town district, and can only be found
in places where he is assured of a
welcome. He never makes himself
conspicuous, and when in the pres.
ence of white men he conducts him
self in most unassuming manner.
Prize fighting, like politics, makes
queer bedfellows at times, and by
staying in his place" Johnson Is
warmly welcomed by all with whom
he comes in contact. He prides him
self upon being a gentleman" and
boasts that he has always acted in
a manner to which no one might take
exception.

The teams were evenly matched and
honors were about even when Nor

Norfolk Bows Win the Game.

What will prevent the telegraph
companies from installing telephones
and doing telephone business?" said
]. c. Nelson of Omaha, superintendent
Of the Western Union Telegraph com
pany when asked in Norfolk what eff
feet commercial telegraphing by in
dependent telephone companies would
have on the Western Union and PostaS
companies.
I'VE have the wires, and all we have
to do is to install telephones, which
would be but little expense" continued
Mr.. Nelson. THE Bell people, OF
course, are leasing wires to packing
companies and newspapers, but they
are not doing any commercial tele-
graph work"
Some time ago the Continental Tel
ephone and Telegraph company OF
New York purchased additional lines
and it was reported they would start
doing commercial business on all their
lines. w. j. Stadelman OF the local
independent company believed IL
would affect the Norfolk Office and
telegraph work would be done here
Mr.. Nelson does not believe this will
be done. From the fact that the Post
al and Western Union have the wires
and all that is necessary is to install
telephones, Mr.. Nelson believes IL
would be an easy matter for the big
telegraph concerns to handle all the
long distance telephone business In
the United States. This, according tn
Mr.. Nelson, is a question that is be-
fore the telegraph and telephone world
today.

ant change is the modification OF Sec.
ton |, Rule s, defining running with
the ball" said Doctor Naismith after
looking over an advance copy OF the
new rules. by the change in that
rule | think long goal shooting will
be practically eliminated, and the
short 'dribble' viii be emphasized more
Il an II has ever been before. An
other thing that will be impossible
is the practice of taking the long side
step to avoid the man who is guard
ing before shooting for a goal"
The rule and the explanatory note
follow: Rule s, Section If
player shall, while having the ball II
his possession, advance in any direc
ton, he shall be considered as run
ming with the ball" Constituting
foul as formerly The note reads
1T is understood that man ma,
advance one foot in any direction, but
the remaining foot must be kept II
position until the ball has left hi
hands In throwing for a goal a ma
may jump from both feet but the bal
both feet again touch the floor
In constituting this rule some coaches
have thought that it was the inten.
ton to prevent man from leaping
into the air for a throw after moving
one foot as stated in the first part
of the note. The effect Of this con-
struction would be to seriously hinder
any goal shooting, but Doctor Mai
smith, who was member of the
committee, Is of the opinion that no
such construction will be attempted
THE only intention was to prevent
man from leaping aside to avoid
his guard and then shooting for the
floor, said he
There are several other rather i'm
portant changes, one of them, Rule
25, providing that the referee may
call foul on any man on the team
instead of the man with the ball and
his opponent, as formerly, and makes
| 1t the duty of the referee to watch
for fouls on all of the men If the
umpire seems careless or unfair The
umpire may call fouls on all but the
man with the ball and his opponent.
Section l Of Rule provides that In
"dribbling" the dribble Ia not consider.
ed at an end so long as the ball is in
motion. Under the old rule the "drib
BILE" was considered at an end when
the player stopped, and II was a very
hard matter to determine what should
constitute a continuance of motion
on the part of the man with the
ball.
There are two changes in the rules
affecting a ball out of bounds. BY
Section 9 of Rule 16: "If the ball re
turns to the court from out of bounds
without being touched by a player
it shall be dead" This prevents car
oming" the ball, and eliminates the
element of luck in such play. Sec
tions l and 2 of Rule 6 provide tha
the player or the ball shall be out
side If they touch the boundary line
instead of the floor outside as form
erly. Other less important changes
allow the use Of plate glass back
grounds for the goals, and allow {
variation of three ounces in thu
weight of the ball instead of two al
formerly.
"Most of the changes were made IL
the interests of the officials, and wer'
aimed to tighten the work Of thu
referee especially" said Doctor Maj
smith, land / believe all the changes
are good ones. The modification o
Rule will, believe, make the shor
dribble much more prominent thai
it has been. The result will be
little slower game"

A SUBSTITUTE FOR SPIKES?
Ban johnson Says This Matter Will be
Taken up at A. S. Meeting.


Chicago, Nov. 6.-The American
league at its annual meeting next
month, the exact date of which has
not been decided, will take up seri.
ously the matter of abolishing spikes
from the paraphernalia of the dia-
mond.
President Johnson made that state
ment in discussing the probable prob.
lens which will be considered by the
league magnates this winter. He said
it was hoped subtle substitute for
the spikes now in use on the shoes
of the players would be discovered
and agreed upon, for the purpose OF
eliminating at least a portion of the
accidents which have marred the sport
during the last season.
