The fourth round contained plenty of
action, although no damage was done.
With one retired BOdie slapped out
swat that took a bad bounce just as II
reached Delmas, and the first hit of the
game was recorded. Ping tried to
pinch the next pillow and was nailed
by the wayside. Madden secured his
second pass of the game, and for the
second time successfully scooted 10
second when no one was looking.
Berry sent a hot grounder toward
third that looked good for hit, but
Hallinan was on the job and made a
pretty throw to first to retire the side.
In the fifth it looked very much like
Los Angeles, and only poor head work
stopped the locals from slipping one
over on their enemies. DelmaS tOl-
lowed Hallinan's out with single over
short and made a break for second
when he saw a chance. Stewart threw
to first and Del would have been
dead one had not Tenant overshot
Mohler on the toss to the B bag, Del
mas keeping on to third before he
dared stop for breath. With Smith up
the hit and run signal was given and
everything looked to be lovely, and
might have been-only for Smith. He
missed his third strike, and before Del
mas, who had taken big lead off
third, could return to the bag Berry
winged the leather over and completed
a double.
Tozer slipped a cog in the sixth in
ming and the Seals were quick to grab
their chance. Tenant singled to right
and Bodie drove a sharp one Halltnan-
ward which was too hot to be called
anything but a bingle. Madden slapped
one out to left and Tenant scored.
That was the only run of the game,
for although it looked close a couple of
times thereafter the bell boy was al
lowed to do no work.
The Angel twirler tried to win his
own game in the eighth but his mates
refused to help. Waring was sent in
at the opening of the inning to bat for
Smith, but the best he did was to slap
at three bad ones. TOzer raped out a

CAIRO. Egypt, March 24,-Colonel
Roosevelts visit excites such interest
| here, not only among the Americans
| who have arrived at Cairo purposely
TO see the eX-president, but among the
natives generally, that he is taking
measures to avoid demonstrations.
Great crowds gathered about the en-
! trance of Shepherds hotel, where the
| Roosevelts are staying, and twice to-
| day Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt were
compelled to leave the building by the
| garden entrance to keep away from
| the enthusiastic people.
| Half an hour was spent this after
noon in conversation with Abbas
Himli the khedive, who showed the
| keenest interest in Colonel Roose-
velts hunting tour. There was an eX-
change of views on irrigation and as-
riculture also. The conversation was
conducted in English.
In the meantime the khedivah re
| ceiVed Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel
with many marks of distinction COT
| fee was served in gold cups encrusted
| with diamonds. The khediVah began
the conversation in French and it was
carried on in that language. She was
particularly interested in the position
of women in America.
The khediVe returned the ex-presi-
dents visit at the American agency,
where he remained some time The
exchange of visits has given the great
est pleasure to both.
In the evening the Roosevelt party
went by automobile to the Mena house,
which is close to the Pyramids, to see
the Sphinx by moonlight.
The train from Luxor bearing Col.
Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt, Kermit and
Ethel drew into the station a few min
utes after o'clock this morning, and
the visitors first view of the capital
was across a sea of faces that appeared
to surprise the former president, accus-
toned as he is to waiting crowds.
Col. Roosevelt was received formally
by Major l.. O. f. stack, British agent
in the Soudan and director of intelli-
gence. who expressed the regrets of Sir
Reginald Wingate, the sirdar, that the
! latter, owing to indispostiOn, was un-
able personally to meet the city's guest
With Major Stack were American
| Consul General Iddings, Mrs Iddings
and Miss Iddings. The latter present
ed Mrs. Roosevelt with a bunch of VIC
! let's.
After greeting their acquaintanees
and acknowledging the cheers of the
! throng, the Rooseyelts, accompanied by
the Iddings family, entered motor car
and were driven TO Shepard's hotel. The
| Roosevelt car was escorted by squad
of mounted police.
Arriving at the hotel. the visitors
/ found another crowd in waiting, and
another noisy demonstration was re
ceived. The guests at the hotel include
many Americans and from every flag
/ staff on or near the building the stars
and Stripes were flying.
Col. Roosevelt and Mr.. 1ddngs had
/ luncheon with Major Stack at the Brit
| ish agency Afterward the state coach
called for Mr.. Roosevelt and conveyed
him to the palace, where he was re-
! ceived by the khediye. Col. Roosevelt
was accompanied by Mr. Iddings. The
| two then returned to the agency,
where the khedive soon afterward made
a return call. after which the Roose-
yelts returned TO their hotel.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The SEN
ate today passed the bill making APP
preparations for the support of the leg
islative, executive and judicial branches
of the government. The bill carries an
appropriation of more than S34, 1000, 900.
The only item in the bill which
aroused any discussion was one APP
propriating $1,000 for the payment of
a masseur to officiate in the marble
bathroom in the new senate office
building. AS the committee on APP
preparations brought in the bill. it
provided a force, clerical and other
wise, for the care of the building. in
Guiding a masseur and many other at
tendants of the bath.
Senator Brstow proposed to strike
out that entire provision, but specified
the baths in his remarks. He did not
know about the bath and h wanted
information.
Discussion developed that the bath
rooms had been ordered a long time ago
and the superindent of the building had
provided attendants for them. Some
senator's spoke of them as necessary.
Manicurist Proposed
Mr.. Bailey had doubts as to whether
the senator from Kansas would have
any need for them. Senator sutherland
said he did at home the little bathing
he did, and he thought that if there
was to be masseur, there also should
be a manicurist and a valet. After
much comforting and general debate
Mr.. Bristow changed his amendment
so as to cover only the three atten-
dants in charge of the bathroom.
Strike 'em all out" he said. THAT
will leave a janitor in charge and
that's enough"
Two vain efforts were made at a
vote. Messrs. Hale and Scott by a
combined effort, then knocked out of
the bill the masseur provision.
Reports of Corporations
The subject of reports required from
corporations under the corporation tax
also received consideration.
According to the terms of the bill
these reports will not be made public
except in special cases. The senate
adopted the committee amendment
that the reports shall only be made
public under the order of the president
when he deems it for the public in
terest.
At the suggestion of Senator La
Toilette a provision was added requir-
ing the reports also to be made public
on call of the senate or house of rep
resentatiVes.
The bill makes an appropriation of
800, 600 to cover expense of collecting
the tax. Under the tariff law reports
made by corporations would have to
be made public and the treasury de-
partment estimated $4,000 would be
needed for this purpose. The limita-
ton placed on publication, it is said,
will keep the expense within the sum
appropriated
