Says Hugh Jennings: ITS a lucky
thing that the New York pitching
stan isn't in the possession Of the Ath
letics or the Tigers II 1t were the
American league race would virtually
be over before II could start. Just
think what II would mean for a club
like the Tigers we're they able to
start a pitcher like Ford, Caldwell or
Fisher every fourth or fifth day. And,
as for the Athletics, why, Ford would
make the Philadelphia bugs forget all

the other hand, II the 'Highlanders
had Crawford and Cobb or Collins

make with them"

Philadelphia, Feb. 15.-Passing in
two seemingly never ending lines,
from Logan Square into the cathe-
dral more than $4,000 persons today
viewed the body of Archbishop Ryan
as 1t lay robed In full pontifical vest
ments in front of the high altar.
The police arrangements were per-
feet and friends and admirers of the
dead prelate passed through the ca
thedral and took last look at his re-
mains at the rate of 5000 an hour. IL
was a silent assembly that composed
the long lines.
The lines were first formed at II
o'clock In the morning when $4,000
children from parochal schools and
institutions were taken 10 view the
body. It was after O'Clock before
the children's line was ended and the
first adults were admitted. From
that time until after midnight they
passed in four abreast.
Towards night the crush OF those
desiring to view the body became SO
great that many women tainted ana

BILL TO INCREASE
SALARIES OF JUDGES

Washington, Feb. l5.-The house
today adopted an amendment to the
Moon bill for the codification of laws
relating to the judiciary, increasing
the salary of the chief justice of the
United States from $4,000 to $4,000
and the salaries Of the associate JUS
tees from $12.500 to si4,5O0.
The fate of the bill as whole,
however, Is In some doubt. 1t has
been the hope 'of Mr. Moon that II
might be passed today, but the ABB
sence of a quorum In the late after
noon brought about an unexpectedly
early adjournment.
This was the last day that the bill!
had the right OF way. The house
calendar is choked with various mea-
sures and there are six appropriation
bills yet to be taken up In the lower
branch and sent 10 the senate.
A bill similar to the Moon bill has
passed the senate.

tBy Morning Journal special Leased Wire1
Washington. Feb. 1b.-After many
years of delay the bill for the creation
OF the national forest reserve In the
White mountains and the southern
Appalachians passed the senate to-
day, the vote standing 81 to ..
The negative vote was cast by sem
ators Bristow. Burton, Clark of Wyo-
ming, Cullom, Gronna and MeCum-
ber, republicans, and Senators Davis,
Paynter and Shively, democrats.
The bin passed the house of repre-
sentatives last session and as II was
accepted by the senate without
change, it lacks only the signature of
the president to elevate 1t into a
statute.
While Il is understood the purpose
of the bill Is the acquisition of lands
In the White mountains of New Eng
land and of the Appaachians in the
southern states for the creation of
forest reserves, II contains no specific
mention of such purpose. The au-
thority for this proceeding Is found in
the general powers conferred by the
bill. The carrying into effect of the
provisions of the bill is placed in the
hands of a commission to be com
posed of the secretary of war, the
secretary of the interior and the sec
retary of agriculture and two sena-
tors and two members of the house
of representatives.
The purchase of land is placed In
the hands of the secretary of agri-
culture and Is confined to such areas
as may affect the headwaters of nav
igable streams.
No purchase is to be authorized
until passed upon by the geological
survey.
Authority for cooperation with
different states is given and $1,000
0O0 year is appropriated until 1915.

CLARK SPEECH USED BY
CANADIAN OPPOSITION.

Ottawa. ont, Feb. 15.-~There was
considerable interest and some irri-
tation here today over Champ Clark's
speech, in which he said the reciproc-
ward annexation. AT the opening OF
today's session of the house, Colonel
Sam Hughes read a newspaper abb
stract of the speech and asked If il
was fair statement of the American
latitude, and If so, inquired If the
Canadian government leaders were
prepared to withdraw from the reci-
procity arrangement.
Sir Alfred Laurier's reply was nom
commital. He said~~the government
had no information on the subject;
that the Canadian government had
announced its policy and would not
change it until it had more informa-
ton.
II have not had my attention drawn
to it until this moment" said the
premier Il have only to say that
the policy of the government is al
ready settled
But" he added, If some nefarlous
intention of the kind mentioned in
this article should be put into action
and the worst come to worst ! shall
call upon my honorable friend as a
gallant soldier to dispose of it and
guard our interest
Does the prime minister place the
matter In my hands Officially" queried
the colonel smiling. IF so | shall
proceed to Washington Immediately,
Martin Berrill of British Columbia
conservative said the reciprocity
agreement would bring competition
which would result in the rum OF
the fruit industry of Canada. He also
quoted reports of the speech made
by Champ Clark, and said 1t was an
unveiing of the real intention of the
United States in making the reciproc-
ity agreement.
Hugh Guthrie, a leading supporter
of the government, scoffed at the idea.
In spite of what Champ Clark or
any one else may say the reciprocity
agreement does not imply the an
nexaton of Canada to the United
States or the severance of British
connection" said Mr.. Guthrie. He
said the development of commerce be-
tween the two countries did not In
any case lead to annexation or to po-
litical union.
This agreement with the United
States, Mr.. Guthrie said in closing,
would be good thing for both coun-
tries.
The debate will be continued next
week.
