S. B. Williamson, former Chat
tanoogan, but now chief engineer
of the Pacific division, Isthmus Of

forced concrete boat which is caus-
ing a great deal of interest in the

inforced concrete, and it weighs
about 10000 pounds. 1t is said
that the advantages of the boat

and the speed which they obtain.

APPALACHIAN BILL
VOTE IS LIKELY

Washington, June 15.-The house
rules committee today decided to give
one day each TO consideration of the
Weeks Appalachian Forest Reserve
bill and the Scott anti-option measure
to prohibit dealings in Gotten futures
unless an actual transfer of cotton is
made. This probably insures vote
in the house on these two measures at
the present session.
Congressman Austin appeared before
both the committee on agriculture and
the committee On rules on behalf of the
Appalachian park measure.
There will be four hours debate fol-
lowed by vote. Final action will be
taken in the house on Saturday. This
insures success, as the senate has pass
ed the bill III two previous congresses.

WHERE SOLDIERS
CONE OUT AHEAD

Knoxville World says:
The Soldiers are in town to line up
against the Appalachians this after
noon, and the ball club in Dixie that
stumbles across the ropes before this
johnson City bunch will be the team
that carries off the 1910 flag. You can
play this tip fifteen ways across the
diamond and then mail us the bill if
you don't collect.
There are three factors which put
the Soldiers out in front. Each posi-
is well fortified and they are playing
perfect ball, the familiarity with the
stick and the stick and the strength of
the pitching staff being exceptional.
The Dutchman manager has lined up
a good comb nation--the pitching
corps to bolster up his defense and the
outfield to slam the runs across in at
tack-that will spell victory each way.

Soldiers and the Appalachians, in
which but two safe hits were made off

ter of fact defeat for the locals was
spelled yesterday "e-r-r-o-r" for seven

JESSE ROGERS WRITES.

approved the action taken here
last week by the Republican state
Committee. Many papers over
the State published Friday and
Saturday telegram from Knox
vile purporting to be a state
ment from Mr.. Rogers to the eff
feet that he strongly approved
the action of Mr.. Sanders and
his committe in refusing to allow
the Republicans to say whether
or not they desired a straight
ticket and approved the action Of
the committee in taking the au-
thority upon themselves to decide
the question for the masses.
In view of the very prominent
part Mr.. Rogers took in the fight
for a straight ticket this state
ment came as a surprise, and
many of his warm friends were
surprised that he had changed
his iders to that extent. Yester-
day Mr.. Rogers sent to a friend
in this city statement that he
had furnished the Journal and
Tribune on Friday. That paper
published the statement in Sat-
urday's issue.
The statement in full is as fol-
lows:

To Editor of the Journal and
Tribune:
In your issue of Thursday
morning, you publish what pur-
ports to be an interview with

tion Of the State Republican Ex-
ecutive Committe, in declining to
call Republican convention, to
put out judicial ticket, and in
indorsing the Independent Dem
ocratic ticket.

resentlng your paper, nor any
other paper, has ever called upon

ence to this matter, and | have
expressed none.

nomination of a straight Republi-
can ticket as long as there was
any hope of securing such action.
| gave up the fight only after |
saw that certain element Of the
Republican party was determin-
ed to support the Independent
Democratic ticket, and that an
other element of the party was
determined to support the Patter-
son Democratic ticket; and after
saw that it would be impossible
in this condition of affairs, to
nominate straight Republican
ticket; aud after | was Convinced
that il such ticket should be nom

support.
l think the Republicans of
Tennessee have made a great
mistake in not standing as

publican ticket.
think the people, and not the
committee should have decided
whether or not Republican tic
ket should have been nominated.
The people alone have sovereign
power. The committee, has no
such power. 1t is a dangerous
precedent, one that will trouble
the party in the future, for the
committee to assume to exercise
such power. 1t has no authority
to bind the Republican voters of
the state to the support of any
Democratic ticket. Notwith-
standing the action of the COM
