Newspaper correspondents, especially
those representing afternoon papers DO
not like the present hour OF the Senate
meeting as it cuts them out OF all OPP
portunity to make spread" for their
papers. The reason given for the
change is that it gives the Senate COM
mittees more time to consider measures
brought before them. 1t is thought
that the Senate will soon change back
to the old hour as the Senate base

Another democratic measure, the
farmers free list bill, took its place
on the crowded waiting list Of the
Senate today, and the House ways and

question OF wool. The free list bill

futile filibustcr by minority leader

il passed last night 236 TO 100, twenty

to be the first seriously troublesome
matter the democrats have met. There
is no doubt that ninety percent Of the

of replacing that sum. From present
appearances they will be forced to re-
port free raw wool bill from the
WAYS and means committee, where
nine out of fourteen democrats favor

until next session. Underwood and
the other leaders recognize that the

the wool schedule, and they declare

When the game was over and Evans walked toward the club house a man jeered him with accompanying oaths and struck him Evans continued on his way to the clul house.

London, September 24.-Although the worlds heavyweight championship is presumably at stake the coming bat tie between Champion Jack Johnson and Bombardier Wells, the English titleholder, Is not causing great deal of excitement in sporting circles here. Even the big purse of s40'OOo' the largest ever given for prize fight out side of the United States, has not stirred the public to enthusiasm.
 If opposition can be considered ad- vertisement the fight has received such from as widely divergent sources as the sporting writers and the pulpit. Most of the pugilistic experts writing for the sporting papers continue to criticise Wells packers for permitting him to battle against the champion. These writers agree in describing Wells as a promising but inexperienced fighter and they deplore the blight to his career which a defeat at this time would entail.
 The Rev F. B. Meyer of Regents park chapel has announced the proposed match from his pulpit as a brutal prize fight which should be prevented by the law which permits only boxing con- tests in this country. He spoke of 1t in one sermon as prize fight and said there ought to be enough Christianity in. this country to make 1t impossible. It was described, according to the min ister, as great boxing contest, be- cause a prize fight was contrary to the law; but he aded. the fact that one
