WIND AND SEA MODERATE
Little Trouble Experienced In Saving
kentucky's Crew.

Key West, Fla, Feb. 9.-The mem.
bers of the crew of the ill fated steam.
ship Kentucky were landed here by
the Alamo of the Mallory line, which
rescued them from watery grave off
the Carolina coast short while before
the Kentucky sank.
"Providentially, upon the appearance
of the Alamo, which rushed to our as.
sistance Immediately upon receipt of
our wireless call, the wind and sea
both moderated and the transfer Of
the crew of the Kentucky was made
in two of the Ken. .lcky's boats, with
out the assistance of the boats of the
Alamo" said Captain Moore. "Six
trips were made from ship to ship
without the slightest mishap, but IL
the wind had not subsided necessarily
some of the Kentucky's crew must
have met watery grave"

LAND COMMISSIONER WRONG
Federal Laws Cannot Be Set Aside
by His Decree.

Federal Laws Cannot ee Set Aside
by His Decree.
San Francisco. Feb. 9.-That the
clear intent of the federal laws cannot
be set aside by decree of the land
commissioner was the decision of the
United States circuit court of appeals
in overruling the appeal of the North.
ern Pacific railroad against the revoca.
ton of certain land grants to that cor.
poration in Montana.
When certain claims belonging to
the railroad were included in the
Mount Rainier forest reserve other
nonmineral bearing claims to be Sc
lected by the railroad were promised
by the government in their place. The
railroad selected claims patented by
the land commissioners as nonmineral,
but known to the company to be min.
eral bearing.
Suit was brought to compel the rail.
road to relinquish these claims and the
government was given judgment. This
judgment was affirmed.

cI1Y's COAL BILLS PADDED
Experts Say Chicago Paid Too Much
for Fuel.

Chicago. Feb. 9.-'In the last two
years the city of Chicago has paid
$3OO,O 900 more for coal than it ought
to have paid"
This is the substance of a report
submitted to the city council by coal
experts employed by the Merriam COM
mission, which recently has been in
vestigating charges Of graft, in the
city administration. The report says
that specifications were so poorly
drawn up that it was difficult for an
Independent dealer to have chance
in the bidding for the city's coal sup
ply. The city annually uses about
$5OO,O00 worth Of coal and the annual
waste, according to the report, has
been about $150,O00.

Proposed Legislation.

President Does Not Relish Ways Of
Some Of His Interviewers and 10
Not Inclined to ReIinquish Any Sub
stantial Part Of His Plan-Hirted
That Mondays Liquidation on Wal,
Street Was Engineered" by the
"Interests."
Washington, Feb. 9-President Taft
is considering whether he will have
to put his back to the wall and mix
it, with the big financial interests as
well as with congress in order to put
through his legislative programme.
From the beginning of the present
session there has been a tremendous
amount Of advice from the interests
in the matter OF administration pro-
gramme and the president has had
hard work in his efforts to prove that
his measures are destined ultimate
ly" to benefit capital. Every financier
and railway magnate who calls at the
White House to discuss legislation
drags forth that fearsome bugaboo-a
financial panic-and tries to show
that any radical legislation will ruin
the country.
At some points this has approached
almost to threat, which the presi-
dent does not relish. He clings tena-
ciously to his outlined programme and
is not inclined to relinquish any sub.
stantial feature.
But, II Wall streets temporary cpl
leptic of Monday was the result of the
Introduction of the presidents federal
incorporation bill in congress, Wall
street has reached point where 1t
is frightened by shadows. The presi-
dent does not intend forcing the fed
eral incorporation bill to passage this
year.
The things that are worrying Wall
street most, however, are the inter-
state commerce law amendments rec
commended by the president and the
possibility of further trust prosecu-
tions If the supreme court upholds the
verdicts in the Standard Oil and to-
bacco trust cases. It has been pretty
definitely settled that the president
contemplates a campaign under the
Sherman antitrust law IL that law
holds good in the pending cases.

Fresh Persecu lions In Odessa.

Recent information from Odessa
shows that persecution Of the Jews in
that city. at the instigation Of the gov
ernor. Tolmatchef. is unabated. The
governors latest move Is against the
Jewish hospital Of that city. the best
and largest institution of its kind In
southern Russia. 1t was created and
has been maintained by Jews. For
1fty years past 1t has been conducted
by a Jewish board Of directors and
Jewish physicians. Recently Tolmat-
chef without warning prepared new
articles of Incorporation. which are
now being put into effect. Though
this is strictly a Jewish hospital. the
new articles Of incorporation. provide
that there shall be two Christiaps on
the board Of directors. one to be ap-
pointed by the governor Of the city
and the other by the city council.
The governor has appointed one
skuridin, well known as an enemy Of
the Jews, and the city council has ap-
pointed Helliakan. one Of the arch
anti-Semites Of Russia and the de fac
to leader of the Black Hundreds in
Odessa. In addition the appointment
Of the hospital physicians has been
taken out of the hands Of the board of
directors and put into those Of the
governor, who is expected to appoint
Christians. The Jews of Odessa. who
have suffered so much. are in despair
now that their splendid hospital has
fallen into the hands of their enemies
and detractors.

RAILROADS May
ENJ0IN STRIKE
New Interpretation Of the
Erdman Act.
EMPLOYESFAVORWALKOUT

Ninety-seven Per Cent Of the Men En-.
gagged in Chicago Terminals Vote for
Suspension Of Work Unless Demands
Are Granted and Companies Propose
to Seek an Injunction In the Fed
eraI Court.
Chicago, Feb. 9.-If members of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen en-
ployed In the yards of the eighteen
railroads having terminals in Chicago
attempt to strike because their de-
mands for a wage increase were re-
fused the railroads expect to apply to
the federal court for an injunction re-
straining the men from going out
This was the statement made by an
official of one of the roads affected
following an announcement of the
brotherhood that returns from the
referendum taken by the brotherhood
on a strike proposition were over
whelmingly in favor of strike. The
declaration by the railroads, the union
officials say, has uncovered the Joker"
in the Erdman act, which was designed
for the settlement of labor troubles.
Thirteen railroads have already
agreed to submit grievances with the
switchmen to the Erdman act
New Interpretation Of Act.
The railroads now contend that it
also protects them from interference
by any organization with the operation
of trains whose crews have invoked
the Erdman act. Inasmuch as the
Switchmen's union has already in
voked this act the railway officials
declare that strike by the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, which
would call out all the yardmen who
are members, would constitute inter-
ference and should be so considered.
Union officials assert that If the fed
erar court Sc interprets tie Erdmans
act that law will serve as powerful
weapon for employers against labor
unions and will render the latter abso-
lutely helpless.
The strike vote was ordered after
the railroad and brotherhood commit.
tee had failed to agree So far 1000
votes, little more than half of those
to be cast, had been counted. Ninety
seven per cent of these votes were in
favor of authorizing the officers Of the
brotherhood to call strike whenever
they see fit.

James J. Jeffries is about as popular as a tax collector or a book agent in and about Lomond where Rowarden- nan is situated.
 One goes to Rowardennan expecting to find decrepit old man fed out of a spoon as he trains for the worlds championship. The truth is, Jeffries is training faithfully and too vigor- ously, if anything. His unpopularity comes from the fact that Jeffries abso- uteIy declines to be a hero.
 Probably no other big fighter ever trained under similar conditions. The hotel at ROwardennan consists of flock of bungalows scattered in among the pine trees. In the most remote of these lives Jeffries. It is well under stood that visitors to the camp are to keep away from the Jeffries cottage. In it's privacy he and his wife entertain their personal friends.
 Very few of these friends are con- neCted with the ring. In the family group that gathers there are Mrs. Jef- fries and Mrs. Jack Jefrries and Mrs. Jack Ripper the wife of Jim's business partner. Waiter Kelly, the vaudeville actor, and Dick Adams, an old friend of the family, complete the family circle. Any one who tries to butt in gets a chill that will last him for the rest of his life.

arrived sport come trundling up the walk with his hat jauntily cooked and the calendar following his clothes. He has come to introduce himself to the champ so he can tell the boys" about it. Jeffries rises angrily from his chair and tells the invader that his home Is private He will tolerate no rough con- duct about the camp; he keeps it fit place for women.
 With all this Jeffries is more agree able than any one ever saw him before. He simply won't stand being lioniZed. The sporting reporters count with him about like the rest. When they get in the way he is painfully frank about it. Several have been rebuffed in a way that made them furious. When re-. mOnstrated with. Jeffries replies that he isn't training to please the public. He is training to beat one John Arthur Johnson.
 Any fair-minded person cannot stay a aay at the Jeffries training camp and many of the reports about his training not being "on the level.' Jeff has a peculiar system of training-in fact, no system at all. But he works very hard. Tn fact. his trainers have been afraid he is overriding it. He has arrived in them thought; their problem now Is to keep him on edge for about month OF so more.

Ginger C0gnts' ''-Jennines

Ginger and well-cOnditiOned bunch of wide-awake ball players are bound to be pennant factors" is a strong ar gument advanced by Hughie Jennings. the hustling manager of the Detroit Tigers.
 Condition and good habits will count for more this year than ever in base ball. and will continue along these lines for years to come, for the reason that teams are becoming more evenly matched and all are playing the same kind of ball as far as inside work goes.
 The continual changing of players from one team to the other has been an education all round. The science of the game is known to all the leaders and most of the players. In fact, about ev- cry time a player is released the club must work out a new set of signals and this will often slow up a veteran team considerably. for the ball team without signals would soon become lost in the shuttle. Even the minors have the dope down nearly as fine as the major league men.
 Brains and skill. however, will never do without earnest work and perfect condition. It's hard to make a two- legged table stand, and still more diffi- cult to win ball games without enthu- siasm.
 T wouldn't waste my time with a ball team that hasn't the gumption and ginger to wake up and do something" says Jennings. Ginger is what counts

HffYacfs Tennis Players

The recent sudden departure of Beals c. Wright for England has focused the attention of American tennis players on situation of much uncertainty and no little delicacy.
 Rumors have been persistent that Wright, who will lead any American team that may compete for the Dwight F. Davis international cup, now held by Australia. hopes to bring back the pre- liminary match with Great Britain to this country. Officers of the National Lawn Tennis association denied this to-day and insisted that Wright had sailed on his own initiative, and that the association knew nothing of his plans.
 An officer of the association, who also belongs to the international team com mittee. was pessimistic fon the whole outlook The Englishmen, he said. had positively refused to come to this coun- try. On the other hand, it would be difficult to pick an American team to visit England. It would be easy to get a first class team to go to London, but if the team should win it must then continue to Australia, and few players feel that they can spare the time for the latter journey.

Yachting Season Is On

Yachting, the last of the summer sports to appear on the 1910 outdoor recreation stage, has come into its own now that the sailing season has been formally opened on Lake Michigan.
 The plans of the amateur sailors for an active campaign are about com pleted, and work on the scores of boats in the local squadrons, which has been going forward in spite of the backward weather, is about finished.
 Preparations are well advanced at Jackson park and the season could be opened to-day if necessary. There's a reason for the unusual activity, how ever. Moorings at the lagoon always have been at premium and this year the demand is far greater than the sup ply. Last season the south park com missioners made a rule that moorings not claimed by certain date would be forfeited and the same regulations obtain now, with the exception that the date of grace falls earlier than before.

Gossip of fhe Diamond

Second Baseman Mcconnell of the Red Sox was operated upon for ap- pendicitis at Boston on two occasions recently. He had been troubled all spring with a pain in his side which was supposed to be due to injured ribs, but which was finally diagnosed as ap- pendicitis.
 Owen Bush, the diminutive shortstop of the Tigers, is making a remarkable start in this years race. Not only is Bush showing improvement in his field ing, but his hitting is much better than 1t was last season, and he is already being -heralded as the star of the American league shortstops.
 Manager Duffy and Charley Comis- key have not lost confidence in Short stop Blackburne, who went cast with the team. Sir Hugh says that Black burne played on his nerve for fort night and. needed a rest. which was the reason that Tannehill was called on to cover the shortfield position.
