TO PROTECT WoRkMEN.
Congressional Employers Liability and
Workmen's Compensation Commits
sion Reach a Conclusion.

The Congressional Employers Liabil-
tty and Workmen's Compensation COM
mission has practically decided to recon-
mend the enactment of law providing
for the insurance of employees of inter
state railroads against injury by acci-
dent by requiring the roads to make pay
ments for any injury inflicted. No vote
has been taken, however, but it was ad-
mitted by the commissioners themselves
that they were unanimously in favor of
the direct payment plan, and also to con-
fning the operation of the proposed law
to employers of roads engaged in inter
state commerce only. The plan which
the commission proposes to adopt is the
prevailing one in Great Britain, and,
while it requires direct payment by the
roads to injured employees, the instru-
mentality of the national government is
invoked in carrying the law itno effect

At the meeting of the American Prison

LAUNDRY WORKERS IN RUSSIA.

WILLING to Be Martyrs.

stated that he wished to be guillQtined
instead of murderer who had been
condemned to death. OF course the
authorities declined to do as he wished.

would give his life for some one else
later on.
A Russian peasant who was nOted
for his quiet piety offered TO be shot in
order to save revolutionary who was
awaiting the carrying out of the death
penalty. This. he said, was not duun
out of any sympathy for the accused
but merely TO show his disapproval OF
the principle of taking lives of Grim
inals.

on record was chat of Quebec citizen
who passed himself off as murderer

was found that the self accused man

Mehmet Cordareli, biggest of all
Turkish wrestlers, who recently ar

all the heavyweight grapplers in the
world, says Antoine Pierri, his man

lest grappler in Turkey, tipping the
beam at about 300 pounds. This giant
from the land Of the sultan is six feet
four inches tall and when compared
with all the wrestlers now in the
game towers over them as the oak
above the sapling.
This Turk is not versatile at catch
as-catch-can wrestling, being accus.
toned to the eco-Roman style. His
best achievement of late came in the
tournament held in Turkey, in which
about fifteen or twenty of the best
wrestlers participated. Cordareli won
the grand prize over all his competi-
tors. The tournament was held under
the rules in vogue in Turkey, being a
modification of the Greco-Roman.

DEMOCRATS MEET
Bailey and Clark Disagree
on Tariff.
BUT HARMONY NOW PREVAILS
Next Speaker Is For Schedule by
Schedule Revision as Opposed to
an Entire New 9ilI-Harmon
favorite For President.

Baltimore, Jan. 1S-The national
Democracy conference here developed
a radical difference of opinion between
Senator Bailey of Texas and Champ
Clark, speaker to be. over the method
that the Democrats shall follow in re.
vising the tariff. Otherwise it was a
perfectly proper harmony conference.
Inasmuch as Clark is to be the LEI der
of the Democratic forces in the next
house and Senator Bailey in the sen
ate the difference between them seemed
to be a good sized fly in the harmony
ointment. Representative Clark has
declared for a revision of the tariff
schedule by schedule. He suggested
that it might be necessary for the
Democrats even to tackle some things
in the Payne-Aldrich tariff law item
by item.
Senator Bailey, on the other baud,
wants to make clean sweep of the
Payne-Aldrich law. He wants blan.
ket tariff revision on a revenue basis
and believes that the sooner the Dem
ecrats can get at it the better it will
be for them. A piecemeal revision, in
his opinion, would be confession be-
fore the country of the inability of the
Democratic party to handle this ques-
ion in its entirety and would be a sad
blow at the prospects of the party in
1912.
Both, however, Joined in the general

appearing on the horizon now, they
say, are mere details soon to he

Rome at Its Worst.

It is we'll known that there is in
Roman history a period which, from
the reputation that it bears, may well
be called infamous. This extends
from the death of Sulla to the death
of Nero. including the end Of the re-
public and the early years of the en-
pier. This period has very bad repu-
tation; not only was it full of disorder,
civil war. scandalous lawsuits, but
nearly all of it's most illustrious per-
sonages were notoriously vicious, be-
ginning with the most illustrious OF
them all, Julius Caesar. All were
deep in debt, drunkards gluttons,
spendthrifts; they were dissolute,
when not accused outright of giving
themselves up to the most degrading
pollution. There is no infamy that
has not been attributed to them. Only
a very few have escaped from this uni
versal censure; and with the excep-
ton of Pompey and Agrippa, those
who did escape were of minor impor-
tance. The others were either odious
in the extreme or else depraved like

people are preparing to entertain the
bowlers or give them a golden oppor-
tunity to entertain themselves, and
the American bowling congress is pre-
pairing to see that all get a square
deaf.
The tournament building is one of
the largest in the country, and the
floor space is enormous.
Entries cover a large territory, hav-
ing been received from Vancouver to
New York and from Montreal to Mo-
bile.
To Try Out New Feature.
A new feature will be tried out this
year. In former tournaments, when
two full squads of five men teams
shot the night previous, it became nee.
essary the next day in order to take
care of the doubles and singles of all
members of these five men squads to
start bowling in some instances as
early as 1880 a. NJ, and this has caused
considerable discomfort among the
bowlers so early scheduled. There
hardly seemed any remedy for this,
but it has been found by Secretary
Abe Langtry, and he has had the Iii
nois Bowling association, also the Chi
cago Bowling association, try it out
for him in two tournaments since the
last national tournaments. and they
have found it worked to a charm.
How the Scheme Works.
The idea is to double up the indi-
vidual squads and have them shoot
their individual entry in the same
manner as they would the doubles,
thereby having on the tournament al
leys at one time two squads of indi-
vidual bowlers while heretofore there
was only one squad shooting. A great
deal of time has been lost with indi-
vidual squads In checking them in at
the paddock, and in addition to that
the greatest loss of time was when
one bowler started to lag, either wait
ing for his ball or from fatigue, as the
pace set in the individual event was
rather fast
Now, to shoot the bowlers in double
squads will give each man a short pc.
riod of rest, which will not only work
to his advantage, but to the advantage
of the tournament secretary, and in
doing so it viii save about five min
utes to a squad, and when you figure
from twelve to fourteen squads daily
you will readily see a saving of one
hour and over and the starting of the
tournament that much later in the
evening. This is surely a great boon
to the bowler who shoots the night
before, as he can snatch a few extra
winks and be satisfied. This he will
thank the American Bowling congress
for, and other tournaments win surely
follow the lead within year or two
when they see the advantage of the
system.

sgd Axworthy Will Try Side Whee

sgd AXworthy, holder of the worlds
half mile record of 59& seconds, trot-
ted over the Boston speedway, has de
cided to change his gait and invade
the ranks of the sidewheeler next sea-
son. Syd's record was made in 1908,
but for the last two seasons he has
stepped down the Hudson River drive
in New York at two minute clip, and
as matinee and speedway horse he
has been considered almost invincible.
1t is therefore surprise to many
horsemen to learn that this pure, level
gated trotter can pace just about as
fast as he can trot. and possibly when
bis muscles have become accustomed
to the new gait he will establish a new
pacing record.
