"MODERN HIAWATHA'


From the land of the Manhattan,
By the laughing Big Sea Water,
From the land of Lights and HOLSTERS
And the home of Knickerbocker
Came the tribe of Mugs Magrawaw.
Came the warriors of Old Gotham;
Skilled were they in craft of bunting,
Learned In all the lore of balloon
Came they to the westward hunting
For the Sacred Belt of Wampum.
In the drowsy, dreamy sunshine
In the never-ending summer
To the wigwam of Old Shibe,
To the land of the White Jumbo
Came the chieftain Mugs Magrawaw,
Came to seek the Belt of Wampum.
And the maiden W%innaghama,
Wooed and loved by Connimackie
Wooed and loved by Chief Magrawaw,
Whom he sought and found at Polo,
Came to visit Shibe wigwam,
Came to see the Gillicuddies.
Now the mighty Connlmackie
Sighed with passion as he saw her
Sighed with longing heart and pa ssion
For the maiden of the prairie ..
For the lovely Winnaghama. +,
Then the Big Chief Gillicuddie
Called and beckoned Eddiplankis.

Called and beckoned all his warriors
Painted like the sky of morning.
Take your war-clubs, Puggawaugun.
And yeur mittens. Minjekahwun.
Go and smite the mighty Giants
From the land of Coogans' quarry
From the Gotham baseball prairie.
Then began the greatest battle
That the sun has ever looked on,
That the war-birds ever witnessed.
Straightway from the shining wigwam
Came a strong armed ~Gillicuddie,
Raised his mighty bow of ash-tree
Hard against a ~quivering pellet
Till 1t rose above the lowlands
Far beyond the baseball prairie
And was lost from view forever.
Then the earth shook with a tumult
And confusion of the battle,
And the air was full of shoutings
And the hunder of the bleachers.
Softly rose sweet Winnaghama,
Tall and slender dark-eyed maid en-,
Smiled with favor on the mighty
Strong armed sons of Gillicuddy.
Back retreated Mugs Magrawaw,
And the tribe of Old Manhattan
Back they went to Gotham's prairie
Back among their home and people.

Vote On Lorin1er Case
 Split Alabama Delegation
BY WATTERSON sTEALEY

Washington, March 1.-(Special) )-The biggest split that has occurred in the Alabama congressional delegation since the Alabama senators lined themselves up against the House members on the confir- nation of Oscar R. Hundley has arisen over the votes cast in the Senate today by Senators Johnston and Bankhead in favor of Lorimer of Illinois Most of the Alabama House members take position opposite to that of the two senators, and state that had they represented the state in the Senate they would have voted to throw MT. Lorimer out of the Senate, in- stead of securing his title to the seat. It was general talk at the capitol today that Senator Johnston would be opposed for reelection in the primary three years hence as a result of his vote, and several members of the states delegation in the House were mentioned as being likely to enter against him.
 Representative Taylor, Clayton, Rich ardson, Hobson and Hefin stated emphat- ically that they would have voted against Lorimer.
 Representative Taylor said: q would have voted against Lorimer if he would have compelled me to leave the Senate. This vote of the Senate will cause po- litical revolution"
 Representative Hefin said: q most cer-

COX COMES BACK
 AT JUDGE GORMAN

Cincinnati, March 1-George B. Cox took the first step in his fight against the indictments charging him with per court of common pleas an affidavit charg- ing Judge Frank M. German with "bias and prejddice."
 Judge German has been directing the work of the grand jury which has inves- tigated public affairs. indicting besides Cox two city officials, county employe, three contractors and a saloonkeeper.
 Prosecuting Attorney Henry T. Hunt announced few days ago that he expect in fortnight. In that event the case would have come before Judge German, whose term as judge of the criminal court expires April 1.
 The object of the affidavit is to swear the judge off the bench" Recent Ohio de- cisions make 1t mandatory upon the judge so sworn against to vacate.
 Alleged "protection to saloonkeepers seemed the subject of today's session of the grand jury in the personnel if the wit hesses could be taken as a criterion In Addition to men who owned or managed places in the wicked strip" in the north west section of the city, propretors of several road houses out in the country were on hand It was also expected that Thomas J. Davis. cashier of the First National bank. would be admitted as . witness today. He was summoned yes terday and told to bring various account books with him. Except for the fact that George F. Cox used to have an account in the First National bank there was nothing on which to base . eurmise as to the significance of the Davis subpoena.

tainly would have voted to unseat him. l do not desire to criticize those whose conscience and judgment led them to vote to keep Lorimer in the Senate, but 1 will say that l regard the failure to unseat him with serious concern"
 Hobson also gave expression to opinion along the above line.
 Representative Clayton also has doubt about the attitude of those senators who voted against the constitutional amend ment providing for the direct election of senators because of tie addition of the Sutherland amendment MT. Clayton said 1T do not like the Sutherland amendment to the proposition to amend the constitu- ton directing the election of senators by the people, but in view of the democratic platform in the subject and the fact that the House has passed the joint res outon three times. I would have waived any misgivings about the Sutherland amendment and voted for the resolution as amended. The states would have lead whether they wanted to adopt the amend - ment in the form presented, and they would have rejected 1t If they deemed it fraught with danger. 1 think the demo- cratic record in the House and in the party platform would have bound me to have voted for the amendment. I believe that if the amendment lead passed the Senate, the House would have stricken out, the Sutherland amendment and the Senate would have accepted the change"

RAILROADS WILL
 NOT MAKE APPEAL

Chicago, March 1.-Thirty-fve western railroads decided today to make no ap- peal from the recent decision Of the in terstate commerce commission denying the roads the right to increase freight rates They will accept the decree of the commission as final.
 The decision was reached at a meet ing today of representatives of the roads at the Western Trunk Line association headquarters here. The opinion was ad- vanced by many that the roads would be unable to make any stronger show ing before the commerce court than they had before the commission and that once the new court had ruled, its decree would be binding for two years
 It was also argued that if the roads comply with the decree without objec- ton and withdraw the advanced tariffs before March 10, there will be an oppor- tunity at later date to submit advances on certain rates, some of which may meet with favor.

SHEEHAN'S LETTER
 MAY BRING CAUCUS
Following Ca-:-..,ate's Ul- timatum Democrats May
 Call New Meeting

Albany, N. r., March 1.-Governor Dix Of the senatorial deadlock might be reached within a week through confer ence of democratic legislators It is known that the governor would like to see such conference develop into a caucus which would select man agree able to regulars and insurgents. but whether it will be called this week Is said to depend largely upon the wishes of Charles F. Murphy. MT. Murphy is said not to favor another caucus at this time.
 Martin w. Littleton jumped to second place in the list of democratic senatorial candidates at today's joint ballot, but aside from the shifting insurgent votes there was no change.
 Albany, March 1.-William F. Shee- hans ultimatum to the democratic mem- ters of the legislature with It's sugges- ton of another party caucus on the sena- torial situation was discussed, but 1t was decided that no caucus call would be is- sued today.
 Efforts were made today to bring about a new caucus of democratic members of the legislature to consider way out or the deadlock 6ver the United States sen atorship.
 Just how the regulars in the party will take the intimation of William F. Sheehan that he Is ready to step aside if a reconvened caucus expresses a desire that he should do 50, does not appear. It is known, however, 1t Is foregone con- cusion, that the insurgent who refused to enter the first caucus will not particl- pate in second one, should 1t be called.
 The indications are that if it is decided to act upon MT. Sheehans suggestica, I, the caucus will be reconvened tomorrow.

WALTER JOHNSON
STILL SLABKING
Twirls Potomac Army Victory In Last Game With the
Terrible Tigers Allo wing Not Score for
Seven Long Innings.
By SENATOR"


DETROIT, Mich, May 26.-Waltel
Johnson, king of twirlers, is himself
| again. For seven innings he held the
| rapacious denizens of the jungle score
less, and only at the end of the battle
| when he let down in his terrific speed
did the Tigers succeed in pushing over
two measly little runs.
The Army Of the Potomac recovered
Some Of their tattered and torn battle
flags lost during their maneuvers
through the wild and woody West,
trimming the forces of Gen. Hugh Jen-
nings by a score of to 2.
There was never any doubt as to
the result. In those first seven skir-
mishes 1.-The Terrible Swede' made
eight Tigers whiff the breezes Of Michi-
gan with no resulting good for their
outfit Johnson proved that his long rest
has about brought him back into shape,
and from now on he will take his reg
ular turn about every fourth day in
the box.
Not till the fourth did the Nationals
shove their first tally over the dish:
Then Lelivelt coaxed pass and scored
from second on McBride's sweet single
to left. Three shot over in the sixth,
though, when Edgar Willett, who used
to be known as the hoy pitcher" be-

very, very bad.
Milan opened hostilities by dashing
one out of reach of Bush, and had no
trouble stealing.
Conroy and Lelivelt died on ballooners,
but Doc GeSslUr intercepted a wild shoot
with the middle of his back. Again 1t
was the trusty Captain Mcbride. whose
artillery burned away a safety along the
right field line, scoring Milan. and put
Iing Gessler on third. The pharmaceHti-
cal phenom hustled across as McBFfde
was pilfering that second .hassock.
''Rubbershtrt BiIl'' Cunningham gave
McAleer a spasm by doubling to left,
scoring Mcbride. Somerlott breezed,
ending the amusement.
In the eighth Gessler drew a free
ticket and scooted to second when Sam
Crawford failed to connect with Cum
ninghams smash down the line. Somer-
LOFTS bunts to Willett was good for a
single, filling the corners. Henry drove
a vicious swipe over second that Bush
partly blocked, but Gess!er was. over.
Johnson whitfield and Milan died, Dele
hanty to Willett.
And in the ninth, just to show how
little they cared for those fierce Tigers,
the Nationals brought another one over.
Say, it was just as easy. Lellvelt slap
ped one at Covington that bounded to
Bush too late to nail the flying out
fielder. Gesslers resounding belt to
right put Jack on third, from where he

delphia, where the middies will have
three crews in the American Henley to-

letes away from the academy at one
time is larger than ever before In the
history of the Institution
Outside of the annual football and
baseball games against the Military
Academy. the academy has contested
away from home only once in twenty
years, the event being the Poughk eepsie
regatta four years ago.
Superintendent Bowyer was opposed to
academy teams contesting away from
home except against the Military Acad-
emy teams. Captain Gibbons, the new
superintendent, seems more literally IN
clined, and granted permission for the
first, second, and fourth class academy
eights to row in their proper group.
1t is believed that the Naval Academy
will send entries regularly to the Hen
