Takes in the Rockefellers.

Smith began his operations on a
small scale at Teal's marsh, Nevada, In
1874. He found he could make con.
nereial use of the vast borax and salt
deposits Of Nevada. But II took money
TO prepare to work these deposits. The

evap0ratlng tanks. Finally he was able
to get a team and some lumber, and
constructed wooden evaporating tanks
in which to expose the saline waters of
the lake TO the torrid sun, that licked
up the water so rapidly that II could
sit beside the watts and almost see the
water level lower. Then, in 1852, in
the Calico district, in San Bernardino
county, California, w. T. Coleman, in
the employee of ''Borax' Smith, dis
covered some great deposits of a pure
white, striated rock, which, it Was
found, could be crushed and treated and
would yield borax in ever more paying
quantities than the saline waters of the
marshes. This new mineral was called
Colemanite, after the finder. Extensive
prospecting work showed Smith and his
men that Colemanite (borate of lime)
abounded in and along TIE great saline
marshes that cover thousands of acres
in Esmeralda county.

 "We have been asked why we could not settle with the New Haven com pany regardless of the action taken on other roads. TO that question we have replied that all the New Haven road has to do is to satsify the demands of it's men and there will be no trouble. even if things should turn out badly on other lines. We can negotiate d settlement here, no matter what hap pens elsewhere. Our national officers will not interfere and from what has developed thus far we are anticipating nothing but friendly conferences and eventually a satisfactory settlement Of this trouble"
 The New Haven was one of the east ern lines to advance wages in 1907. The schedule of that year went into effect May 25.
 Saturday there was another confer ence of the employees adjustment board and General Manager Higgins. The arguments of the adjustment board have been concluded and 1t ix now said that the representatives of the company are explaining in detail what changes the wage advance would make in the operating account of tff company.

BATCHELLER TEAM
 PREPARES FOR 1910
Charles Smith Resigns as Manager and is Succeeded by His Brother, Al.
 Smith,

The members of the G. c. Batcheller baseball team held a meeting Friday afternoon and issued a call for candl- dates. The meeting was well attend ed, bringing out squad of forty can- didates. and from present indications they expect to turn out one of the fast est teams in the Factory League. The resignation of their manager, Charles Smith, was read. Manager Smith has in a good many ways proven his worth to the Batcheller boys. Besides hay ing successfully mana ged the team for two years he has promoted some of the biggest social gatherings, outings and trolley rides ever held in the city. His decision, he said. was final. Man ager Smith has well earned the title his friends claim him to be. one of the most successful managers of any Fac tory ball team in the city.
 The election of a manager followed, and Al. Smith, a brother of Charles Smith, was the unanimous choice. Byron Batcheller was elected secre- tary and treasurer, and Jack Curran was chosen chairman of the commit tee of arrangements for the dance which is to be held by the team in the near future.

UMPIRE NOW HAS FULL
 SWAY ON THE DIAMOND
Amended Rules of Baseball of American and National Leagues Joint Committee Give Him Clearly Defined Duties and Absolute Power

The revised playing rules of baseball as amended by the Joint Rules com lnittee of the National and American Just been given out in pamphlet form hy Secretary John A. Heylder of the National League. The most striking feature of the revised rules is the im- portance given to the powers and du- tles of the umpires. This season more than ever before in the history of the game the umpire will be the reigning power on the diamond. This innova- ton was brought about mainly through the efforts of President Thom- as J. Lynch. of the National League, who used to be an umpire himself and is thoroughly familiar with the flandi- caps under which the indicator holders worked
 The new rules establish a double umpire system for all games, with an umpire in chief behind the hat to Judge balls and strikes and certain de- 7 Sclsions at third base, and a field um- plre to judge base decisions. The umpire in chief will have full charge of the game, and will alone have au- thority to declare a game forfeited. The field umpire has fuil authority in removing and fining players. The two officials must work i'll harmony, and Tn case a point is raised on a decision based on @ point of rules, one umpire may ask for information from the other. But one umpire will not interfere with another's decision un- less asked to by his associate.
 The players are prohibited from dis putlES the accuracy of the umpire's Judgment. and not even the captain or team can call the umoire's atten- ton to what he believes to be a vio- lation of the rules. This makes it mandatory on the umpire himself to note all violations of the rules.
 Hereafter, when a player is elected from the game for violation of the rules he will not be allowed to 1oiter about the grounds or grand stand, but Is deciSively banished to the club house. and must stay. there or leave the grounds, and if he doesn't the um- plre is given the power to forfeit the game. The umpire can also fine a player $5 for discoloring the ball; for refusing to be seated on the bench one minute after ordered to do so; if he violates the coaching rules, and if the captain fails to notify the official of a change in lineup
 The revised rules give the umpire absolute power over the players on the bench and to do away with all the rowdyism which has started at this quarter in the past. The umpire is given power to fine substitute players for yelling disapproval from the bench $l0, and if the unsolicited conversation continues he is given power to clear the bench and send the whole crew of substitutes to the club house, and nave them come out only as they are

needed.
 The new code provides for several changes in relation to ground rules. In case of an overflow crowd, if the captains of the teams cannot agree on ground rules, the umpire will have full authority to make special rules. If a thrown ball goes into the spectators or through fence surrounding the field or into the players bench, the runner will be entitled to two bases. The umpire must be certain that both teams have agreed to special ground rules before the game commences. The umpire. before each game, shall call the two captains together and lay down the law to them, and must give them to understand that the rules are to be strictly and irnpartially enforced. The umpire must announce the bat terleS before the game, and also an- nounce any change in the l ine-up. The umpire, as well as the offending captain, is subject to a fine of $5 for violation of this new rule. Unpires who fail to keep their engagements will be fined a days pay.
 Under the amended rules, if a fielder stops or catches a batted ball with his cap, glove, or any part of his uniform, the runner or runners on the bases will be entitled to three bases. If a thrown or pitched ball strikes the unn- pire on foul ground, the ball shall be considered in play and the base runner shall be entitled to all the bases he can make. A base runner will be declared out if he passes a. preceding base runner before such runner has been legally put out.
 A new rule gives the base runner the privilege of turning either to the right or left after touching first base. where heretofore he was compelled to turn to the right. If. however, after run ming over first base he should at tempt to go to second before returning to first base. he shall forfeit exemption from liability to be put out. Addi tions have also been made to the rule governing when a base runner may return to his base without liability of being declared out. In case the um- pire declares an illegally batted ball, he may go back also if the umpire is struck by a fair-hit ball before touch ing fielder and in which case no base shall be run unless necessitated by the batsman becoming a base runner. and no run shall be scored unless all the bases are occupied. The runner may return to his base also if the un1- pire declares the batsnnan or another base runner out for interference.
 A few slight changes are made in the scoring rules. A player will get an assist when he handles the ball in completes the play by making a put out. Wild pitches and passed balls are exempt from the error column, as prior to the year 1909. In the event of a double or triple steal where either runner is thrown out, the other Or others shall not be credited with a stolen base.

GAELIC ATHLETES
 CONVENE HERE
Movement on Foot to Form National
 Body.

About 75 delegates representing near ly every city in xthe State attended yesterday afternoon the meeting held in this city of the State Gaelic Foot ball clubs. An important action ar rived at was the decision to form a national body in other States. particu- 1arly Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This action was taken at the request of clubs in the two States mentioned. It is hoped that @ nucleus has been formed which will attract the Gaelic athletes from all over the country. A special committee to which the matter was referred made @ favorable report, and later elected officers.
 At the meeting reports of State committees were read and the general good of the organization talked over. President George H. Wood of this city appointed a number of committees.
 Following the meeting a banquet was served in Arlon hall, the women friends of the local Gaelic club mem bers being invited to join in the fes- tivities.

through Adamana and Navajo, the latter 30 miles from his nights rest ing place, before noon. Eastward he swung along the ties, accompanied by his secretary and an employe of the Santa Fe railroad mounted on one of the company's gasoline track tri- cycles, until he had passed 30 mile stones more. Then Weston stopped for the night at Allentown, only 30 miles from the New Mexico line.
 Perhaps the prospect of leaving Ari- Zona'S alkali and desert vastneSseS pleased him and caused him to hit up a. swifter pace. At any rate, regard less of the reason, Weston arrived at Manuelletta, the last stop in the sage brush territory, before noon, and then pushed on to Gallup, New Mexico. Here he lunched, having done some 33 miles that morning. He reached Thoreau, 32 miles further, almost at dusk, and rested there that night.
 Friday and Saturday saw Weston clean up just 101 miles. He went through Grants, McCartys, Laguna and Sukanee like some hunted thing, having achieved the miraculous, an almost all night walk through high and hil1y country, with ever-changing barometric and tenperatic pressures. Seemingly these did not bother him, although. many an Fastener has suf- fered in this country from the damp chill of the night, which alters so quickly and, apparently, without req son. to dry warmth.
 Weston reached Albuquerque early this morning, and will now strike for the Colorado line, which he hopes 60 reach by Sunday, despite the fact that his next Saturday nights resting place is over 300 miles to the northeast. Should he accomplish this he will have increased his lead over his scheduled time to almost six days. From Timpas, Col, on walking will certainly be easier, and there is every reason to believe that. barring acci- dent. Weston will reach New York in 10 days less than the 90 he has all lowed himself

M'CANN GOES FORTH IN
 SEARCH OF NEW MEN

Manager McCann of the local base ball team is in Pennsylvania today in conference with one of the big lea que managers. He left last night so that he could be on the job the first thing this morning. He was tipped off during the day that a few men could be landed. He has found out that per- sonal application always goes a great way in landing the men he is looking for It is said that one of the crack second basemen secured from a minor league club is to be turned loose for further trial. If McCann lands this man, he will have every position on the team filled. But he will not stop at that, knowing that competition will get more baseball out of a player than or dinarily.

PEDESTRIAN WESTON IS OVER
 1000 MILES ON HIS WAY EAST
Reaches Albuquerque Early This Morning and Strikes Out at Once for the Colorado Line - Now Four Days Ahead of His Ninety Day Schedule and May Arrive in New York in Eighty Days.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, Feb. 28. Edward Payson Weston was rest ing quietly yesterday at the little rail road siding of Sandia, On the main line of the Santa F'e, 23 miles west of this city. The veteran pedestrian, !, who will celebrate his 71st birthday next month, has undertaken to tramp the breadth of the United States in 90 days, is now four days ahead of his schedule,and a message received from him here intimates that before anoth- CT week has gone by he will still fur ther have increased his lead on his previously planned time.
 A week ago he was at Hubbard, Azi- zona, which is some 300 miles west of this city, so that in six walking days Weston has averaged almost 50 miles every "A hours. The magnitude of this feat is too apparent to require much comment, but that man well along in his Fist year should be able to accomplish what few people of less than half that age could do is so re- markable that it does seem to war rant special attention.
 Weston was not due in Sandia un- til March 8, according to his schedule. But since Feb. l, when he left Los Angeles, he has Ntramped 1,044 miles over railroad roadbed and through deserts at a speed that has landed him there with 96 hours to spare should acicdent or delay overtake him anywhere, and yet it finds him in per- feet physical condition.
 Starting from Hubbard early last Monday morning Weston put AZ miles of sage brush and alkali behind him before he decided to rest for the night at the home of a railroad man near the little town of Holbrook. He con- tinued the next morning at daybreak and reeled off the 20 miles to Hol- brook without quiver, pushing on we'll along toward Adamana before nightfall.
 With the rising of Wednesdays sun he tramped onward and passed

WORLD'SRECORD AT ALGONQUIN
 CLUB IN POOL
Jerome Keough Made 100 Points With Only One
 Miss.

Ore hundred balls with but one miss was the record hung up Saturday ev- ening at the Algonquin Club by Jer- ome Keough of Boston, who holds the pool championship title of the world in a game with DeF'orestA B. 4ounS, who is recognized as one of the most skillful pool players in the city. MT Keough thinks that his 1eO balls with but one miss is the worlds record, but is not sure It certainly is a record for hereabouts. The contest started with Keough losing the toss, therefore having the break. He did not pockee ,le,5 a. ball on his first shot. Young then ran off 20 and stopped. Keough went through the set up for 37 balls and missed, but leaving the one ball in such a position that Young was unable to make a shot. Keough then ran off 67 without stopping, complet- ing his 100 points.
 In a previous game Henry Osborne was .swamped 100-33 by MT Keough, but the game was not as remarkable as the other, no runs of any particular length being recorded.
