ANTHONY ON IST
Republican and Democratic
Members of the House
Meet on the Diamond of Ameri.
can League Park.
TEN MEN on A SIDE
Are Held in Reserve to Replace
Disabled Players.
Vice President Sherman viii
Umpire the Game.

Washington. July 16.-The rival
baseball teams selected with great
care for the Republican and Demo-
crat members of the house are
primed for this afternoons contests
at the American league park and
each is confident
The conference on the tariff, the
urgent deficiency bill, and in fact all
other legislation has been forgotten
for the nonce. PIastered all over the
lobby, back of the speakers desk and
in the cloak rooms, are big notices
that the game will be played today.
1t is a rare event indeed when the
sacred precincts of the house con-
tain a notice of anything except to
keep off the grass or to stay out of
the private elevators, but in this case
all rules have been swept to the
winds.
The approaching game is regarded
by the respective sides as a national
event.
Ample provision has been made for
substitutes in case of accident or
shortness of breath in rounding bases.
Not less than ten men on a side will
be in reserve and it is limited in some
quarters that there are likely to be
some ringers but this is denied
vigorously by Captain Tenner 6Penn-)
of the Republicans and Captain Kin
kead On. j. for the opposing side,
each of whom insists that the game
will be on the square.
It Is reported that every player
except representative Ollie James OF
Kentucky. will be in uniform and that
because of his immense stature he
will be compelled to wear pair OF
old trousers with suspenders of extra
strength.
If efforts now being made are sue
cessful, Vice President Sherman will
umpire the game. at least part or
the time. The proceeds are to go TO
the Fairgrounds association.
The Lineup.
The lineup will be as follows, the
second name for any given position
being one of the many subs:
Democrats.

Republican Congressman From
Doubtful Districts
Storm the President in the
White House.
POLITICAL EXIST ENCE
Is in Danger They Say Unless
Raw Materials
Are Kept ON the Dutiable List
of the Tariff Bill.

Washington, July 16.-The White
House was stormed today by a dele
cation of % Republican congress-
men who spent an hour and a half
with the president, telling him that
their political lives depended on the
protection of raw material. 1t has
become pretty generally known about
the capitol that the president favors
the free entry of hides, oil and coal,
and material reductions on lumber,
etc.
Many of the congressman who com
posed the delegation represent
southern districts. They told the
president they had been elected on
the theory that they would protect
raw materials in which their people
were interested and that if the party
failed to do this, their districts would
return to the Democratic column.
Mr.. Taft listened patiently to all that
was said. He chaffed the congress-
men good naturedly at times. Repre-
sentative Hayes, (Cal.), made a
speech in favor of protecting iron
said he suspected Mr.. Hayes of being
chiefly interested in lemons.
The range of the discussion cover
ed every variety of raw material and
when it was all through with, the
president stated his position. He
said that he favored protection
where protection was necessary and
that where projections no longer was
needed. he was in favor either of
greatly reducing the duty or remov-
ing it altogether.
cit is merely a question of facos, -
the president said to the congress
men, ''and in the light of facts we all
want to try to do the right thing"
The spokesmen of the visitors were
Representative Young, CMich.) who
dwelt on the necessity of placing a
high duty on iron ore; Mondell,
CWyo.). who is particularly interested
in coal: Gaines, CIV. Va.), speaking g
for coal and iron; Largely. (Ky.), for
coal and lumber; Cowles Of North
Carolina. for lumber; Austin. (Tenn)
for coal, iron and lumber, and Hayes
of California.
Mr.. Langley put tbsz matter square-
Iy up to the president as ques-
ton of political expediency.
1--WE come from Democratic states,
some of US" said Mr.. Langley. but
we are elected as Republicans who
believe in the protection of the raw
materials. If we fail to protect our
constituents we will be revised
downward'-into private life
President Taft remarked dryly that
he was as much interested In Re
publican success as any one could be-

THEIR CHANCES GONE.
Carelessness Puts Thousands OF
Homeseel<ers Out of Contest.

Spokane, Wash. July 16.-Five
seconds of carelessness threatens to
cost hundreds of homeseekers every
chance to win land on the three In
dian reservations for which the
drawing occurs August 8.
Some failed to put postage stamp
on the envelopes; some filled the
blanks but failed to take the oath; in
other cases notaries have neglected to
attach their seals to the affidavits and
not a few over prudent applicants are
writing their return addresses on en-
velopes before mailing to Superin-
tendent Witten. Even an initial
marked on the envelope in addition
to the printed address is sufficient
cause for throwing it out of the draw
ing. So careful is the government to
avoid distinguishing marks on the
envelopes that the Spokane postoff1ce
removes the date and hour from the
machine when the stamps arc can
celled.
The rush continued today though it
is not expected the registration here
will be so heavy as on Thursday.

HAS FOUND A MAN.
President Taft Decides on Crane for
Chinese Minister.

Washington. July 16.-President
Taft has decided to appoint Charles
r. Crane of the manufacturing firm
of Crane & Co, of Chicago, as
minister to China.
Crane. of Chicago, whom President
Taft has selected for minister to
China. is young, wealthy. man of
the world, scholar and an extensive
traveller. He is one of the foremost
American authorities on the politics
and business of the far east.
Mr.. Crane has never held a
political office. He supported Grover
Cleveland. but was found with Mr..
Taft in the late campaign. He was
the mainstay and one of the founders
of the Municipal Voters league of
Chicago which entered Chicago
politics when the need of reform was
urgent and which has been a factor
in a marked improvement in the
citv'S government.

CURRAN LANDS PLACE.
Former Topeka Man Now on Mis-
souri, Immigration Board.

Jefferson City Mo. July 1s.-Gov-
ernor Hadley has determined to ap-
point J. H. Curran of St. Louis
president of the state board of immi-
grafton commissioners, created by the
recent general assembly The names
of the two other commissioners will
be announced later.
The present outlook is that this
board will have but little to do until
after the next session of the legisla-
ture. The commissioners cannot or
ganize until they have been con-
firmed by the senate. The senate
does not meet again until January,
1911, and Attorney General Majoh
has ruled that lack of confirmation
will make the law imperative.
The appropriation Of $4,000 car
rfed by the bill has also been attacked
on the ground that it was passed by
the assembly before the general ap-
propriation bill and therefore out of
the order prescribed by the constitu-
ton.
J. H Curran was for many years
a resident of Topeka and was one Of
the leaders of the populist uprising
in Kansas in the early COS.

But Edward Parks Had to Commit
Suicide to Do 1t.

Denver. July 16.-Because he could
not control his appetite for whisky,
Edward Parks, aged so years. a steel
worker of Pueblo. committed suicide
here yesterday by drinking poison.
In a letter to his wife, indited at
intervals during the last three days,
Parks explained the reason for want
ing to shoot himself and referred re-
peatedIv to the revolver he had pur-
chased for this purpose. which lay on
the table as he wrote the letter It is
thought his nerve failed him and to
make his death painless, he took the
