DAVIS DALY IS PAYING TIE
 FREIGHT

' BOSToNLF A. Heinze's flyer into the Porcupine camp has ap- parenly been started with assess ment funds recently levied from the stockholders of the Davis-Daly Copper Co. We understand that tbe board of directors did not an- ihorize tho payment from the Davis Ualv treasury O; s60,0ao as first option money, but rather the exc c1tiye committee which is comprised of MT. Heinze, W, c. Shaw, secre- etrv of the company and an em- ployee of Heinze, and Maurice Levy, who is father of Mir Heinze's New York counsel.
 The Davis-Daly Co. has not ha1 full board of directors since q Mason Raborg resigned, there benz but four members. Ge0rge Baglin formerly MT Henze's private secre tary, is the only member not on the executive committee
 In calling the SI assessment on Davis-DaIy last June.

This was attempted some time ago. but Heinze won ont over. the combined efforts of two former directors-Erb and Jarvis-but in the settlement be tween the two interests it was agreed that Heinze would allow the large Boston stockholders to name two members of the direct. crate, but this has never been done. and the board has been coinpIetely un1er Heinze domira ation.

lJohn Temple Graves.l

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. IT, A revolution of far reaching import ance to American statesmanship was wrought in a two-hours' debate and a vote on Thursday in the house st Washington
 The house, by a majority ballot mostly democrats. but some republi cans, and a number of progressives, voted to increase its membership from 39l to f33
 The increase Of forty-two members in the lower chamber of our national parliament. beyond the enlargement of popular representation. has also overshadOwins significance.
 But the increased numbers on the floor render ft now absolutely imper atiye that there should be a change in the han and in the arrangement of the seats.
 The revolution is embodied in this change.
 If there should be no extra session of congress after the Fourth of March acting under d resolution already passed gaHd under plans already drawn, will proceed to spend two or

 Paradoxical as 1t may appear, the new house. although intended to ac commodate forty-two more members is by actual measurement smaller than the present chamber in which the senate holds its sessions at ,ne ether end Of the capitol.
 The dimensions of the present sen ate chamber are 113XS0. The dimen sions of the new house will be SSx6I
 The press gallery. under which the big pillars in the new arrangement will. be placed, will run the entire rear length of the hall, and will Dc larger and more commodious than the present quarters Of the newspa per correspondents
 The revolutionary change in the new structure is in the aTrangemen' of the seats and desks. Str8igb. stationary arm chairs joined together in rows behind a circular desk witt just space enough for the few nee essarles which each congressman re quires for the days debate or deIb eratlOn. No lost space, no lOung ing room, no opportunity for disOr der.
 Every congressman now. in 2ddit ion to his committee room, has in the congressional annex an ample and luxurious room of his own for the transaction of business. He needs little room in the house of represen tatives.
 The new house will be almost a replica of the English house of com mons. which has $50 members.

BASE BALL TALK BEGINS IN
 EARNEST
cDouglas Internationall

What has the coming season in store for the fans is the kuestion that is beginning to stir fandom Of the Cactus Belt. First the query was heard in Fl Paso, then in Cananea and next in Bisbee and now it is commencing to agitate Douglas fan dom. Fl PasO papers tell of plans along the same lines as those of last year. for a team of about the same strength as that of 1910.
 In the Sonora News is a summary of the last years players who will form a probable nucleus for the Quien Sabes this year. The Bisbee Review speaks of a popular subscrip ti0u of $500 per month, which with expected gate receipts would support a team strong enough to success Miners. but here in Douglas baseball affairs appear to be aviating and es- tabiishing a record for height. Nc definite plans have been advanced It is uncertain whether a definite at tempt will be made to get together a tea mstrong enough to success fully compete with the Mavericks Miners and Quien Sabes or whether the game will be confined to meet fngs between local teams.
 It is out of the question for Doug las to attempt baseball on the scal' that she did last year. It is not tha the fans do not want that class o ball for they naturally want the bes obtainable. It is merely that tho city is unable to support the ex pense. Fl Paso, with her mucl greater population ran up a beavl deficit. Bisbee did the same. Il Douglas the maintenance of a tean fell upon the shoulders of a compari lively small number who contributes at the outset and afterward respond ed to call after call for the main tainance of the team. That few ar not willing to contribute to the e1 tent they did last year. There cal be no S120O to $500 salary list.
 At Cananea. where amusements ar few the difficulty has been solve by the employment in the big con

pany of good baseball blazers in va rious capacities and the ball club merely has to pay them when they take time on from their business du- ties. This has never been possible here to the extent 1t is there. Yet there is material in Douglas for a reasonably good team and that ma terial is to be found among those who are now in town. Guynup might well be selected as captain. There have been few players seen in the Southwest who are his equal. But for the management the question is more difficult It would be hard to find the man with managerial abilisy and the time to devote to it. Such a man must be found or Douglas cannot compete in anything that bears the senblance of a league. Positions might be found for Bill Harper, Anderson is on the fire de- partment: work might be given Ed Ward and with the material that has grown up locally a team superior to any team that Douglas has had, ex- cept that of the Fl Paso fair in . lINJ anu AAlhl Ol idHL year tOAlu bt formed. This was shown by the team that iourneyed to the Old Pu- eblo and trimmed Tucson last year. If Bisbee. Fl Paso and Cananea will be satisfied with similar teams there is no reason why there should not ! be a league, but if they go in for the same expensive caliber of bal that prevailed last year Douglas will i have to sit out and watch.
 If Douglas does not have a team ' to compete with other Cactus league cities there is still the possibility of an inter-city league. Last season the Y M c. A.. the C. & A. and the Copper Queen all had teams that
 would have attracted attention fir the absence of professional ball These teams could all be sfrength ened this season and possibly the
 fans would be perfectly satisfied witt
 this kind of ball.
 One thing alone remains certain
 Douslas can not and will not at
 tempt such a baseball venture as wa.
 undertaken last season.

MORE MEMBERS N HOUSE
 MEANS \ GREAT CHANGE

A com ngressman will have to go out Of his way next winter if he disturbs speaker on the floor or interferes with the business order by commo. ton
 TO this decorous and deliberatiye arrangement Champ Clark has Vstally added by the statement that those who speak in the next house will be asked to walk down the aisle and ascend the rostrum in front of the speaker, and directly face the mem bers during his remarks.
 Here. then, is the revolution. The men who wish to speak in the next congress will front two all-important changes.
 ln the first place, owing to the SUI perior quiet and order of the house and to the position of the speaker, looking directly into the faces of his fellows. every man who speaks in the next congress will be distinctly heard. If he has meat in his re marks, they will have their full weight and opportunity.
 Heretofore this has been the priv iiege of those whom nature mas bles- sed with great lungs and sonOrous voices. ollie James. the great Ken tuckian, soon to be senator, could al- ways dll thesEouse, even to the dome with bis mighty voice. R0denJurg of Illinois could be heard. And so Hob son. with his clear, ringing voice and a score of others.
 But take Howard of Georgia, than whom there is no clearer or more incisive speaker in either house. He bea r1 capacity of his thin voice. and the house, by this reason, has lost a score of brilliant and eloquent speeches within his fourteen years.
 But the Towards and the Hobsons, the Jameses and the Bennets will all be on equal terms in the next house, and then wisdom wit and eloQuence win stand to their constituents and to their colleagues as an equal and compelling force.
 The new house win be a mighty : equalizer of the human spech.
 In the second place. the march down the aisle and the mounting of that central rostrum before the en- tire congress of the United States will exercise timely repression upon lhOughtless, foolish or unneces sary speech. Members who focalize the eye and ear of that distinguished assembly will be much more likely % see to it that they have somethins tp say
 Speeches win be more carefully l considered, more deliberately pre- pared and more impressively delv- cred than the slipshod dashes of so many careless congressman out of the obscurity and turmoil of re- volving chairs about them, Of loiter- CTS nthe aisies and the feeling so promotiye of carelessness, that they / are not being heard when they speak
 submit to the judgment of thoughtful Americans that the new rule and new. arrangements ought to develop and surely and logically will develop better speaking and better speakers. better hearing and better : hearers in the popular branch oi our national parliament

EATEN, BY AN ALLIGATOR.
Watch of Missing Girl Found in the
Reptiles Stomach.

A dispatch from Forsyth, Ga, says
the finding of a valuable watch and
chain in the stomach of large alli-
gator that died in a pond near there
Monday night is believed to solve the
mystery of the disappearance OF 12-
year-old Janet Thompson from the
home of her parents at Island Grove,
Fla, two years ago. The alligator
was captured near Island Grove
some weeks after the girl disappear
ed and was brought to Forsyth by ].
M. Jackson. The little girl has never
been heard from since she disappear
ed. When last seen she was stand
ing on the banks of the lake near
where Jackson captured the alligator,
and was wearing at the time gold
watch with her initials engraved on
the back. The same initials are on
the back of the watch found inside
the dead alligator. 1t is believed by
Jackson and others that while the
girl was playing on the bau.l of the
lake the alligator came upon the
bank and devoured. The parents of
the girl have been notified and the
watch will be returned ITO them.

Senator LaFollette Tells What Will
Be Done Soon.

"Tell the people Of Georgia." says
a Washington special to the Atlanta
Journal, "that Thursdays vote on the
wool bill in the senate clearly demon
strated that Governor Smiths vote
will not be needed for the passage
OF tariff legislation at this session OF
congress" said Senator LaFollette,
the insurgent leader, Saturday night,
following the passage Of the compro-
mise wool bill.
Moreover, Gov. Hoke Smiths vote
won't be needed to put the farmers
free list bill through the senate, y
added Mr.. LaFollette.
1--WE will join the Democrats in
voting for that measure, and will
put the matter squarely up to the
President, you may rest assured, and
may inform the farmers Of Georgia
that more than enough progressive
Republicans will vote for the free
list bill to make It's passage certain,
IT, all Of the Democrats stand up as
they did on the wool bill"
Senator LaFollette's statement
concerning the attitude Of the in
surgents with reference to the far
mers' free list bill is the first posi-
tive intimation that has come from
the insurgent camp concerning this
all important measure. It's signifi-
