SPECIAL LETTER.


WAsHINGToN, January 1O.-The an
nouEcement that Representative Nit
chell Palmer, of Stroudsburg, will be a
member Of the House Committee on
Ways and Means should be highly
gratifying to those Pennsylvania Re-
publicans, who, deceived by the cam
paign of slander against the head of
the Republican ticket last fall support
ed the candidates of the Keystone
Party. AS member of that Commit
tee Mr.. Palmer will assist other Demo-
Gratis in preparing a bill that will pro-
vide the sort of tariff revision Penn
sylvania has voted against in every
campaign in which the protective prin
ciple has been even remotely involved.
Mr.. Palmer, although man of some
ability, was not selected as a member
of the Ways and Means Committee be-
cause of any especial qualifications for
the work of revising the tariff. His ap-
pointment will be due to the desire Of
the Democratic leaders to recognize
the large vote recorded against the Re
publican party in Pennsylvania in the
recent elections. Champ Clark and
other Democrats who will dominate
the House in the next Congress be-
lieve, or say they believe, that the re.
suit of the Pennsylvania elections in
dicated dissatisfaction with the pro-
tective system ard disposition on the
part of the Keystone State to attach it.
self to the Democratic party.
The candidacy of Mr.. Berry proved
entirely satisfactory to the Democracy.
In the Fifty Ninth Congress, which as
sembled in December, 1905, the Penn
sylvania delegation was composed of
thirty-one Republicans and one Demo-
crat. The solitary Democrat had been
elected by small majority in the
Berks Lehigh District, the strongest
Democratic district in the State. Since
then the Democrats have steadily in
creased their representation and in the
next House they will have a delega
ton of nine members. Throughout
the campaign last fall the people were
warned against the slanderous attacks
upon Representative Tener. From the
stump and by loyal Republican news
papers it repeatedly was stated that a
vote for the Keystone ticket would be
vote for the Democratic party. De-
spite this warning a considerable ele-
Of tho RanuhIinan oortu
ed the Keystone candidates. Their
votes did not elect Mr.. Berry. They
did, however, elect nine men who will
speak and vote against the advance
ment of Pennsylvania. The Tariff
bill the Democratic party in the House
will pass will strike blow at the in
dustry in that state. 1t may or may
not become law. 1t it should not its
failure will be due entirely to the fact
that in the Senate are loyal Republi-
cans, who are still fighting for the
maintenance of the tariff system which
has enabled Pennsylvania to attain in
dustrial supremacy. The keystone
State may congratulate itself upon the
fact that it will not be misrepresented
in the Senate. Senators Penrose and
Oliver are protectionists without
flaw. Their influence will be eXerted
in an effort to prevent the destructive
tariff legislation, which will be pro
posed by the House Democracy, to
which body Pennsylvania, as a result
of Mr.. Berry's victory" was so sub
stantial a contributor.

SCORING GAMES
NOB0NEHEAO JOB
FANS DO NOT REALIZE THE DIFF.
FIcULTY IN KEEPING TAB
FOR RECORDS.

Few bugs in the grandstand VINO
watch a ball game realize that as they
are scoring hot line drive as hit,
many others are marking the same
play down as an error for some
player. It is hard to realize what 9
difference in opinion there is even be-
tween the greatest of ball playars as
to the scoring Of hits and errors The
scoring, when sifted down to facts,
seems to be merely matter of judge
me, on the part of the person doing
1t as the following story plainly shows:
Here's dialogue which took place
on the eDtroit bench to show how fulfil
1t is for ball players CT fans to try to
agree with the scorers on hits, errors
and stolen bases:
A player hits a liner in left. The
outfielder hesitated fraction of sec
ond, after which he tore in after the
ball. 1t hit his gloved hand about
foot above the ground.
Hit" said Cobb.
"That was an error" judged Mortar

ball was bad one and low, and he
only got one hand on it anyway"
''He didn't judge it quick, did he?
He misjudged it, and he had time to
get both hands on 1t if he had started
right away, which he didn't. It's an
error with me-
"Well, 1t goes as hit here.
Later on a runner tried to steal Sec
ond. The ball reached the infielder's
hand as the runner started his slide
for the bag. The infielder dropped the
ball.
"stolen base, that" said Mo-iarity.
Error for the second baseman," join
led Cobb.
"That wasn't an error. He wouldn't
have had him anyway"

he had held on to the ball. ! make

NO EXCITEMENT
IN W HEAT PIT
FINAL DAY FOR MAY DELIVERY
DOES NOT BRING FURRY
LOOKED FOR.

Chicago, May 31-Although this was
the final day for delivery OF wheat on
May contracts and there has been
much talk of corner" the exciting
time look for on change" did not de-
velop during the early part of the SEES
sion. Only a fair general trade was
witnessed, the most Of it being local
traders and not in the May option but
as general rule, the new crop
months A few transactions in May
showed that the bulls held control Of
the market but were apparently not IN
a mood to squeeze prices in the same
fashion that many dealers had been
led to expect. A rise of half to cent
proved to be the limit of advance for
the time being, so far as the May de-
livery was concerned. Other months
actually showed a net decline. May
touched 1O4 as compared with LOB On
Monday night, but stead1ed arou,lu
103A. July opened at sSss to sSM @Ssc'
varying from As lower to non up.
sold at So, and then receded to $3.50
SSAc. Contrary to predictions most or
the business in May was in small lots
which were peddled out as required.
subsequently,, May went up to
s1.O4A, but other months showed rel
atively little sympathy. About 1000
coo bushels were delivered on con
tracts, an amount far under popular
estimates before hand. The close was
firm for May at a net gain Of 1Ac.
July finished easy, % up at s91sc.
Corn eased off because of the fine
weather and big receipts. July opened
unchanged to A@A lower at 52A 70
527s @53c, touched SO and dropped TO
$3.50.
A little rush Of shorts caused
rather abrupt temporary rise in May.
