NEW YORK. Dec. 14.-There has
been a big demand among the baseball
magnates here for Hal Chase, who
recently resigned as manager of the
New York Americans. Clarke Griffith,
the Washington leader, is said to have
offered Walter Johnson for Chase, and
jimmy Callahan, of the Chicago Amer
leans, has also made a definite propo-
sition. Thus far all proposals nave
met with a cool reception from the
New York leaders. Chase declares
that he stepped out of the managerial
office voluntarily, and is willing to
stay with the team as first baseman.
Both he and his employers state there
is positively no friction in their rela-
tons.

that he shall do nothing else but that.
Powers was quite put out about the
thing.
For about an hour last night Lapize,
Fred Hill and the rest of the all-star
cast were playing a little comedy. La
pie. from last position, would ride up
to about sixth from the outside, and
then he would jump and finally pass
Hill. who was leading. Hill would put
on steam and take the rest of the field
past the Frenchman, until he was abb
solutely last again. This was repeated
about a dozen times.
Everything considered, the perform
ance of Mr.. John Bedell is truly as
t%onishing. We fans in Newark are ac-
customed to see this gentleman trail
ing one of the top notchers across the
tape. generally in the money. He never
starts much. He hung on very well,
thank you, with Brother Menus. Since
Menus dropped out and he was
coupled with Hill he seems imbued
with some of the youth n spirit Of
his teammate, and he goes out all by
himself occasionally at the most I'M
expected moment and tries To steal

Early this morning Brocco started a
sprint. When he had gone two laps
he rode high, intending to let some
other man take it. The field slowed

BY DOC LEVINE.

Everybody at the track who goes to
see the race, and not the spectacle, is
criticising the scoring and the referee
ing. Errors of commission and omis-
sion have been made so frequently this
week by the referees and scorers that
some of the spectators were disguised
and showed 1t plainly last night and
early this morning.
At 1906 Calvin started a sprint
which was cut short after q lap when
Stein fell as he was rounding into the
stretch. The bell stopped this sprint.
Twenty-Five minutes later, at 0:30, Pye
started a jam that was not only the
most exciting of the race so far, but
one that has rarely been equaled for
speed n duration. After three or
four had been Tapped and the sprint
had lasted twenty-five minutes a spill
stopped it. To the surprise of the
spectators and riders it was announced
that the lost and gained laps did not
count because the bell had not rung
for the resumption of the race after
Stein a fallen.
This was not the only time. Some at
the track say that after the sensational
spill which caused Root and Menus
Bedell to retire from the race the bell
was not rung at all. Another griev-
ance that the spectators and riders
have is that some rider who has Il
pnneture goes off the track and neither
he nor his mate resume the race for
five minutes, when they have wheels
to spare, without being penalized. Nc

WHEN PRES. TAFT COMES
Arrangements Being Made to Care for
Big Crowd.

If the press of the state is a criter-
ion, Topeka may expect a record crowd

and semi-centennial ceremonies. The
Kansas newspapers are full of men
ton of the big reunion, and their local
pages tell of the meetings and pre-
parations in fifty or more towns and
cities for the trip to Topeka.
Generally the soldiers through the
local grand army posts are organizing
to come in a body. Special cars wiz
be assigned to the veterans at several
points Where forty or fifty will COM e
from one town or city they will ar
range, if it is possible, for an extra
coach, and others will come on special
trains. A special train will bring q
record crowd from the towns OF
Marysville, Blue Rapids, Onaga and
other points along the Marysville Tn
ion Pacific branch.
Clay Center. Manhattan, Junction
City, Abilene, Salina and the Union

towns will send the entire membership

The reunion association is going to

600 sons of soldiers. Besides the mem
bers of the Sons of Veterans, it is
hoped that every son of a soldier in
Kansas will come and pay tribute to
the old veterans in this, their last
statewide reunion. That sentiment is
growing, and Topeka may expect a
big attendance of citizens from every
section of the state.

the contention will doubtless be Wig
orously urged that the laws of these
states or the orders of their boards of
railroad commissioners are uncOnstitu-
tiOnal because, by fixing rates for
transportation within the states, inter
state commerce is directly burdened
and affected.
The importance and the far-reach-
ing effect of the decision that will be
rendered upon this point can hardly
be over estimated. If the right of reg
ulation of the rates of transportation
in intrastate commerce shall be denied
the several states then there will be
enjoyed by the railroad com panies the
right to fix intrastate rates of trans
portation free from any supervision or
regulation. And they will thus be en-
abIed to levy a tribute on the people
Of the several states, the amount of
which will be limited only by their
own necessities or desire for gain.
Further than this, the denial of the
right of the several states to regulate
the rates of transportation in intra-
state traffic will, as an inevitable and
logical result, result in the denial of
the right of the states to regulate or
supervise the conduct of any business
interstate in its character if thereby
the conduct of that business in inter
state commerce is directly affected or
burdened.
Many Difficulties Ahead.
That there are many difficulties in
cident to the present situation, is ap-
parent. To adjust the rates of the
great transcontinenta1 railroad COM
panies to the changing. conditions incl
dent to the changes in sentiment and.
administration in 4S states, is, indeed,
a difficult problem The whole prob
lem of railroad rate regulation in this
country is in a confused, complex and
unsatisfactory condition. No yard
stick has as yet been discovered by
which either to esta bIish rates or to
measure the reasonableness of rates
charged.
Some people see in the present
situation such difficulties that they
contend that government ownership
and operation of railroads is the only
practical solution. I do not believe
that government ownership AM opera
tion of railroads is the only practical
solution. I do not believe that govern
roads is either a necessary or advisable
solution. But it will doubtless be
necessary that we should ''cut and
dry many times before we finally de-
termine upon the correct policy for
dealing with this important and intri-
cate problem. In view of the marked
" different conditions existing in this
and in other countries, the experience
of other nations in dealing with this
question is but of limited value. We
must work out our own problem for
ourselves, but we must at all times
adhere to the fundamental principle
that a railroad company is common
carrier and a public highway: that it
must be open to all upor fair and
equal terms and that the right to
charge for the transportation of per
sons or of property is a right to tax
which, in order to be defensib1e, must
be reasonably and equally imposed,
