Ed Lafitte ha sthe chop suey out oil

After two strenuous years OF diet
ing, the graceful young Tigerette has
shaken the digestive difficulty which

Is very easy TO argue that the Tigers
would never have lost the world $
series to Pittsburg or the 1910 pen
nant TO the Athletics.
The story of the chop suey has
never been told but It is one with
which every member OF the Detroit
squad of 1909 is familiar.
The Champs were on their way
northward and had gotten as far as
Kansas City. LATTE had looked like
a winner, had twirled part OF the 81,
Louis series. which the team had
played at Dallas and was 'in good
as the ball players say, with Manager
Jennings, his mates and the war cor
respondents, all OF whom had hailed
him as a most promising prospect.
At that he had been working under
difficulties. as an attack of malaria
had materially impeded his develop
ment at the San Antonio training
camp.
A Fatal Dinner.
In Kansas City the hotel fare did
not appeal to some of the party and
suggestions were in order. A news
paper man suggested a visit TO 4
gaily decorated chop suey joint across
from the hostelry. II being the hour
OF dinner, a party was made up. La

struck his fancy and he partook
freely.
That night, after the return to the
hotel at an early hour in the even
ing, LATTE was seized with violent
stomach trouble. Trainer Tuthill
opened his medicine chest and gave
the writhing Tigerette several kinds
OF dope. Temporary relief was the
best LATTE could get. For the re
mainder OF the trip he was sick

Tiger crew. He wasn't quite at his
best yesterday Cobb and Moriarty
stung him for three blows apiece.
Gainor and Stanage got couple.
Everybody on the club except Davy
and Jlmdel took a poke at one and
landed. The Sox were bit nervous
with the big crowd looking on. and
the Tigers took chances on the sacks
and got away with them Two double
plays by the Tiger int1eld assisted
materially in keeping down the score
OF the Sox.
When IL was all over. about the
only satisfaction left 10 the home
rooters was the fact that they had
pried the lid of American league
baseball In their town. Aside from
that. the glory had all been swiped
by the visitors and their sensational
kid twirler.

department for the removal of officers
and the closing of any and all tribal
offices when circumstances warrant.
Very important, too, is a provision
that would recognize all persons who,
under ordinary rules of descent and
distribution would be heirs to enrolled
citizens of the Seminole tribe. TIL Sc
people, according to the department,
should be permitted to have their
shares whether they as heirs are en-
rolled as Seminole citizens or not. A
conflict between the Arkansas statutes
which were extended over the tribe
and the old Seminole law of inheri-
tance is assigned as the reason for this
legislation. While the provisions con-
tanned in the bill are in the most part
considered with favor by members of
the Indian affairs committee of both
houses, the shortness of the session
probably will cause the postponement
OF the administration of the legislative
program of the five tribes until con-
gress convenes again next December.

TOO LATE BABIES
GET ALLOTMENTS
Decision Handed Down BY Supreme
Court, Dismisses Famous Muskrat
Case for Want of Jurisdiction.

A message today to J. c. Starr, says
the "Muskrat case dismissed for want
of jurisdiction, leaving Curtis act en-
tact" by the supreme court of the
United States.
This is a victory for the too late"
babies as the Curtis act referred to is
the act of April 26, 1906. authorizing
the enrolment of all Cherokee babies
born between the time the allotment
treaty became effective and March
I, 1906, for participation, equally with
all other Cherokees, in the division of
the lands and moneys of the Chero-
KEGS.
The result of this case has been
watched with much interest as it in
volved the title to much valuable lands
in Oklahoma, now held as allotments
by the so-called too late babies"

REPUBLICANS GAN
ONLY FOLLOW SUIT
Caucus Plan of Democrats Meets With
Favor And Republicans Have
Been Put in Corner.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-Now
that the democrats have set the fash
ion in caucuses there seems to be moth
ing for the republicans of the house
to do except follow suit. The demo-
Gratis have named the big end of the
ways and means committee, and the
committee is going to work on the
tariff at once and keep it up until the
sixty-second congress meets, when it
will have bill ready to submit If the
republicans desire to take a hand in
this work negotiations must be opened
for the appointment of the minority
members of the committee.
Republican members have admitted
that the action of the democrats puts
them in corner. This is particularly
true in the case of the progressives.
When the new congress meets they
are very apt to find their old enemy,
eX-Speaker Cannon, minority leader of
the house, and in the ordinary course
of things the minority leader makes
the recommendation for committee ap-
pointments for his party. If that power
falls to Cannon the progressives need
only one guess as to where they will
be. But as the democrats bound them
selves in their caucus Friday night to
permit the republicans to select their
own minority members in any manner
they choose, the plan of doing it by
caucus naturally has found favor with
members who can expect nothing from
Cannon should he become floor leader.
"The progressiyes are not worrying" :"
one of their number said this after
noon. 80 far as committee places go,
am not in favor of making any trade.
expect to see the democrat, with all
their big majority, bidding for the sup
port of the progressives before the next
congress is very far along in its work.
The signs are that they are going to
have a revolt on their hands. When
they need support, and are in the
right, they will get it, but the progress
sives do not propose to put themselves
under any obligation to become thick
and thin allies as the acceptance of
committee places might imply. |
would rather not have any committee
place at all and be free to act inde-
Ipendently"
The new ways and means commit
tee is not worrying about the republi-
cans either. To be precise, it is not
a ways and means committee, it is only
Ia band of volunteers going out to
spend the summer hunting tariff fac
on its own responsibility. 1t rather
hopes that the democratic national
committee or somebody will dig up
funds for it to hire experts and other
luxuries with, but it has no assurance
that funds will be forthcoming from
anywhere.
There is no hurry about the repub-
lieans getting on the committee" said
a western democrat today. "The dem
ocrats intend to frame the next tariff
bill just as the republicans framed the
last one. There will be very little for
the minority to do
