delphia.-Senator Hepburn, of
Idaho, Speaker Cannon and Represen-
tative Champ Clark were among the
speakers at the anniversary banquet
Of the New Jersey Society of Penn
sylvaEia.
Mr.. Cannon in his address caused
a sensation by his severe criticism Of
Woodrow Wilson, Gavernor-elect of
New Jersey, for the attitude he has
taken in the contest for the United
States senatorship IN New Jersey.
He deplored the undue activity of
newly-risen leaders, who, he said,
usurp, without authority, the right OF
the legislature to choose whom they
see fit to represent the state in the
National Congress.

CANADIAN FARMERS
MAKE BIG DEMANDS

Ottawa, Ont-The delegation of
5000 Canadian farmers presented
their demands to the Canadian gov
eminent and received their answer.
The reply made by Premier Sir Will
frid Laurier did not come up to the
expectation of the delegation.
The farmers asked for the immedi-
ate revision of the tariff downward;
for free trade on agricultural nipple
ments, cement, lumber and natural
products Of Canada and the United
States; for a larger measure of pref
erence to Great Britain and a pro-
gram that would lead to free trade
with England in ten years, and finally
to direct taxation.
They asked for government owner
ship and control of terminal eleva-
tors; for a government-built and op-
Grated railroad to Hudson's Bay; for
the establishment by the government
of chilled meat industry in western
Canada; for amendments to the rail
way law which would tend to lower
rates and compel companies to pay
for stock killed on tracks under any
circumstances

Baseball Time Record.


Mobile and Atlanta broke the world 8
time record for a baseball game in
Atlanta recently when they played a
full nine inning game in thirty-two
minutes, Mobile winning to 1.
This remarkable record was made
possible. by the two teams. going on
the field and coming to bat on the
run. Invariably the first ball deliv-
cred to each batter was struck at and
usually hit without any effort to
place it. =.
Thirty-five assists in the field tells
the story. Nevertheless there were
some sensational stops and throws as
well as some clever catches by the
outfielders. Only one base on balls
was recorded and only one strike out.
There were four stolen bases, one sac
rifce hit and one wild pitch, three two
baggers, one three-bagger one triple
and one double play. 1t was snappy
game

Power House 10 Wrecked.

New York.-Twelve persons were
killed, two of them women, and 30
were injured in double explosion of
gas and dynamite in the new electric
power-house of the New York Central
Railroad Monday morning.
The power house, which is built OF
stone and brick and is six stories
high, took fire after the explosion and
the interior was practically burned
out. Fortunately for the thousands
of commuters on the New York Cen
trails lines, the force of the dyna-
mite blasts was directed in an pppo-
site direction from the railroad
tracks.

Two Hundred Thousand Motorboats.
It has been estimated that there are
at least 100000 motorboats in this
country. These figures were not guess
ed at, but were reached through cen
sus made by an association of builders
Of these craft not long ago. The asso-
citation tried 10 find out just how many
craft there were in addition to those
detailed in the yacht register, which
takes into account only vessels Of a
certain size. The figures rather sur
prised the manufacturers.
There is not piece Of water navi-
gable by a small boat that has not
some motorboats on it, and, as many
Of these craft draw only a few inches
Of water. it can be seen how they
have developed yachting everywhere
When sailing craft only were at the
disposition of the yachtsman he had to
limit his cruising to known navigable
waters, because a sailing craft needs
room to work in and cannot be sent
through shoal narrow channels But
the motorboat can go wherever it can
float, and consequently it can be used
on any small piece of water.

Stanley Ice Hockey Cup.

The Stanley cup for hockey compe-
tition has been placed in good condi-
ton by the trustees of the Ottawa
(Canada) Hockey club. 1t has been
decided that all clubs holding the
trophy shall supply bond for the
return of the cup in good condition.
The cup had become badly battered
during the years it has been competed
for, and the world championship tro-
ply for hockey required a new base
and some extra room for shields and
bit of new silver.

Can Cy Young pitch 1000 games in
his big league career? This is the
question, since Cy has won his five
hundredth game and bids fair to con-
tinue winning as frequently as do the
majority Of good pitchers in the Amer
lean league.
In his twenty-five years Cy has pitch
ed 300 games, or about that number.
To pitch in 1000, to use round figures,
Cy must work in 200 more contests.
Give him an average of fifty games a
season, which the old boy can stand
and stand well, and it will take four
years to finish the mark.
