It was seen early in the season that the
CUNTS from Georgetown University and
the Central 7. M. G. A. were the best in
the city. The Georgetown management
arranged an extensive trip through the
north, playing some OF the best teams in
that section, and although the Hilltop
pers lost a majority Of the games, it was
mainly on account of the poor condition
OF the players, who had not had a place
to train properly and the loss Of Regis,
the star guard of last year, who sprained
his ankle In the first game of the season
The Y. NJ. c. A. boys had shown great
they disposed of the weaker teams in the
Washington City League. but In the
games to settle the District championship
the Blue and Gray lads took two straight
games in rather easy fashion.
In choosing these teams due allowance
has been made for the class of the teams
played against during the season. The
positions of forward are not very easily
picked, as there are several good men to
choose from. However, Martin of George
town and Groghan OF Carroll Institute
are the logical ones for the first team.
The former is named on account of his
aggressiVeness and fast footwork, as well
as his ability to cage the ball VIXEN neces-
sary. The latter is a well known figure
in this city and his ability to shoot
baskets from every angle easily places
him as star and he is given the other
position.
Allen and Miller of the Central Y NJ.
c. \. are not considered experienced
enough to warrant their being placed on
the first team. and although Allen is very
fast he lacks the necessary weight.
These two are the second choices
In center there Is very little choice.
Schlosser of Georgetown and Keliher of
the Southeast Y. NJ. G. A. stand far
above the other players of that position
and the choice between them is very diff
cult to make. Schlosser was finally given
first place on account Of his long expert
ence In the game, with fine record for
clean, fast playing. No matter whether
the game IL hard or easy, 'Schlitx' Is
there with tho goods and there IL no bet
ter man in the business when it comes to
team play. Keliher did great work for
his efforts were more in the nature of
individual play, and he is placed on the
second team.
George Collifower of Georgetown is
picked as the peer OF this seasons
guards. although had George Regis re-
manned in the game the entire season he
would undoubtedly have been made first
choice. CollihoweRs height and goal
throwing ability, together with his ex-
perience. are responsible for landing him
on the first team. Walk OF the Central
Y. M. c. A. Is given the other place, ow-
ing to his cool-headedness under fire. He
10 also a good man to feed the ball to the
forwards Hoppe Of the Central Y. NJ. c.
A., and Giovannani of the Southeast
branch are placed on the second team,
and are pretty good players at that.

LEADING GOAL TOSSERS.
All.Washington Basket Ball Team
Georgetown Men Show Up Well.

Now that the basket ball season is over,
the time has come when the naming Of
an all-Washington team is in order. While
the honor Of being named on this team is
an empty one, inasmuch as no games are
played, 1t comes, nevertheless, as a re-
ward for good. consistent playing through
out the season and is an incentive to the
players to give their best efforts to the
game. The selections given below might
not meet the approval of every one and
the subject will probably be discussed by
the ''stove leaguers' till the next season
rolls around.
The teams as made up and given below
have been selected by a man prominently
connected in local basket ball circles, who
is considered an authority on all basket
ball matters, and who has in making the
selections endeavored to pick them strict
ly on the individual merits Of the players,
and has taken experience as we'll as abil-
ity. into consideration, as it is q well
known fact that often a new man who
has shown marked ability in easy games
has been completely outclassed in a game
where both teams are evenly matched.
The following men have been chosen for
the Washington team:

M exican Revolution Will Be Sup
pressed at Any Cost.
Ell Paso. Texas-Although the ex-
pected attack on the Mexican custom
house at Naco. Sonora, has been frus-
trated by the arrival of soldiers from
Cananea, the entire Mexican border,
from Cananea to Ciudad Porfrio Diaz,
opposite Laredo, Texas, is in state Of
revolutionary ferment and outbreaks
are feared at dozen places.
AL available troops have been de-
tailed along the borders, with orders to
suppress all disturbances with an iron
hand. Principal reliance is being
placed on the rurales, organized by
President Diaz himself, and recognized
as his ardent supporters and the most
efficient troops in the Mexican army.
Many citizens have been pressed into
service and armed to protect govern
ment funds at the custom houses along
the border.
At Naco, Sonora, the government
funds removed to United States terri
tory for protection have been taken
back to Mexico and the Mexican Off
cials and women and children who fled
to Arizona soil have returned to their
homes. The troops sent from Can
anea are quartered in the warehouse of
the Cananea Copper company, and are
making preparations for an extended
stay. Two hundred additional troops
are held in readiness at Cananea to
march to Naco at moments notice.
Commissario Cubillas has purchased
all available arms at Naco, Arizona,
and has armed a body of citizens to
protect the town.
Reinforcements have been received
by Colonel Kosterlitzsky, in command
at Cananea. This has enabled him to
spread details of troops along the bord-
er to intercept smuggled arms. He
has ordered the house-to-house search
for arms continued in all the North
ern Sonora villages.
Three burros were seized by masked
men on the United States side of the
border Sunday night and loaded with
ammunition, which was carried across
into the San Jose mountains. A squad
of rurales is in pursuit of the party.
Serious disturbances are reported to
have taken place at Ciudad Porfirio
Diaz, Coahulia, where the revolution
airy leaders havessfed to Eagle Pass to
escape arrest.
1t is reported by Mexican officials
that newspapers printed in Spanish on
the American side of the border have
been large factor in stirring up the
discomfort now finding expression.

the platform pledges largely have been
fulfilled and harmony has Z been re-
stored between the executive and con-
gress.
1t is noteworthy, too, that the most
important Legislation of the session
forms part of the much-exploited
Roosevelt policies" This legislation
was repeatedly urged by President
Roosevelt, but congress turned a deaf
ear. Yet the lawmakers allowed them
selves to fall prey to the persuasive
smile and touching entreaty of Presi-
dent Taft, and passed for him the very
bills that had been denied his prede
cessor. All of which demonstrates the
wisdom of remark made by President
Roosevelt when he declined to accept
another nomination. He then said
that some other man, in sympathy
with his views, could accomplish more
with congress than he himself.
The legislative record Of the recent
session, is ample answer to those who
charge that Taft is disloyal to the
Roosevelt policies.
Of all the legislation enacted in COM
pliance with the recommendation of
the president, the interstate commerce
bill, creating a court of commerce and
enlarging the powers of the interstate
commerce commission, takes first rank.
1t was the foremost feature of the
Taft programme, and the one on which
he spent most time and effort; collab-
Grating as he did with his attorney
general, and with the leading lawyers
of congress to get most effective law
possible to devise. Many of the chang
es made by this law were advocated
by President Roosevelt, but congress
put aside his recommendations and
waited for his successor to renew
them.
Next in Importance, undoubtedly,
stands the postal savings bank law.
This, also, was on the Roosevelt pro-
gram, but never during the former ad-
would congress pass this
bill, though all manner of pressure was
brought to bear by the executive.

Ten Brave Dangers of Long Flight
In Zeppelin Graft.
Dusseldorf, Cermany-The Zeppelin
airship made a four hours excursion
over the industrial cities of this dis
trict. The return and landing were
made without incident. The machine
took a second but shorter excursion in
the afternoon.
The Deutschland, on the longer trip,
carried 80 passengers, the largest num-
Der ever transported by similar craft.
The passengers included 10 women. At
one time, running with the wind, the
great dirigible attained speed of Sc =
miles an hour. The trip was from this
city, to Essen, Dortmund, Bochum and
return. The airship passed over the
chimneys of the great Krupp works at
Essen.
On the return the Deutschland en-.
countered a rain storm and had to fight
her way against a head wind. On
landing the women passengers said
they had not experienced moment of
discomfort.

Many Reforms Refused to Ex-Presi-

One Measure Failed.

Washington, D. C.-Through con-
ciliation and compromise, and in a
friendly spirit of cooperation, Presi-
dent Taft secured from congress, dur
ing the session just closed, more i'm
portant legislation than has been enact
ed in any other one session of recent
years. His whole legislative program,
with the exception of one bill, is now
law.
In no single session of the strenuous
Roosevelt administration were so many
important bills enacted, nor did COM
gres so nearly carry out the wishes of
the executive. In those days con-
gress yielded to the big stick, and gave
grudgingly; in the late session con-
gress met the president more than half
way and gave him all that for which
he made special plea-all save the
anti-injuction bill.
From the administration standpoint
and from the party standpoint it was
a remarkably successful session, for

DUTY ON LEMONS EvADED.
Investigation of Complaint From CAL
ifornia Is Ordered.


New York-Three special customs
officers from Washington are spending
the sultry month Of June in quiet wa
terfront observations at the docks in
Manhattan and Brooklyn at which
Sicilian lemons are unloaded. The
purpose of their visit is to investigate
reports that lemon importers are not
paying the full duties on the fruit
which they import
The duty amounts to IL cents a
pound, but the government gives re-
bate for the proportion of the fruit on
each shipment that is deemed unfit for
consumption and which the importers
are supposed to destroy. Tie investi-
gators have been trying to learn
whether the estimate of decayed fruit
is overestimated when the duties are
collected The proportion of decayed
fruit has been unusually large of late,
according to the customs returns. On
many shipments from 25 to 80 per cent
of the cargoes have been reported as
unfit and rebates to that extent have
been given the importers.
The importers say that the increased
proportion of decayed lemons from
Sicily is due to unfavorable weather
affecting the crop in Sicily. They say
that jealous California lemon growers
made the complaints which were the
immediate cause of the inquiry. The
California growers, it is said, are try
ing to put an end to the giving of re-
bates. If this could he done they
would then put up the price of lemons.

Washington, D. C.-Moses Haas, of
New York, and Frederick A. Peckham,
Of Cincinnati, after fighting for five
years against indictments returned
against them in the cotton leak in the
department of agriculture, have en-
tered pleas of guilty to the count in
the indictment charging conspiracy to
effect misconduct in Office.
On the recommendation of the de-
partment Of agriculture, Justice Gould
imposed fine of Sc, 900 on Haas and
SIS, 900 on Peckham, which they paid
and were released from custody. The
other indictments pending against
them were not pressed.
Haas and Peckham paid their fines
in 81, 900 bills. The lawyers for Ed
win S. Holmes, Jr., the former asso-
ciate statistician, were taken by sur
prise when Haas and Peckham pleaded
guilty and were not prepared to say
what course they would take for their
client.
Holmes was tried in 1906 and the
jury disagreed. Charges are still
pending in the New York courts
against Theodore H. Price, the cotton
operator implicated in the scandal.
