Forced to Accept Parcels Post.

'The Democrats were forced to
agree to a parcels post, which only d
short time ago they insisted they
would not agree to. They are enti-
tied to no credit for it. Outside Of
money expended for the Panama ca
nal which cannot be considered as or
dinary expenses, the appropriations
for this session Of congress exceed
those of the last Republican session
Not only is this so, but the Democrats
have appropriated money in many
places where it was pure extrava-
gance, and where tt e money was not
needed, and have refused to make ap-
propriations where they are absolute
ly essential for the conduct of good
government"

AT SHANGHAI WHARF

Shanghai, Aug. 27.-The United
States transport Liscum sank here
today alongside the wharf, where she
was lying in forty feet of water.
The cause of the accident has not

well as the shipbuilders are of the
opinion that she can be raised with
ease.

An Idle Boast.

1T is a constant boast that the
Democrats at this session passed a law
providing for publicity of campaign
contributions. Such is not the fact.
They only passed an amendment to
the law, which had previously been
passed by Republican house, and
the principal part is one relating to
primary campaign expenses, and that
was considered by the Republicans of
the house against the protest of the
Democratic side of the house. Some
what similar is the bill relating to
eighthour labor, which is only an
amendment of a previous law, and
only made slight change in the pro-
visions of the original act
Practically all of the laws Of any
importance passed at this session
were either bills prepared in pre-
yious congress, and left over for lack
of time to consider or else they were
bills prepared by officials in Presi-
dent Taft's administration"
Mr. Mann referred to the public
health laws, the homestead laws, the
bill creating a chldren's bureau, and
others, as being within that classified.

Milwaukee, Aug. 27.-Whether ne
gro lawyers hereafter are to be ad-
mitted as members, was one of the
subjects before the American Bar AS
sociation, which opened it's thirty-ffth
annual meeting here today.
The question arose in a. special re-
port of the executive committee. de-
claring that although it had been the
settled practice of the association to
elect only white men as members,
three negro members, including Will
liam H. Lewis, an assistant to the
United States attorney general, had
been seated by the committee in ig-
norance of their race. The commit
tee, therefore, rescinded its action
and, allowing the men to remain quail
flied as nominees for membership,
asked the entire association to vote
on the question. Attorney General
George w. Wickersham announced he
would make a strenuous fight against
an attempt to unseat Lewis and the
other negro lawyers, and declared the
committee had no power, after once
seating the men, to take away their
membership because of race distinc-
ton. :. S.. ~ --s~%~
Mr Wickersham said he was not
here to advocate the admission of
negro lawyers generally, as that ques-
ton was not involved.
Many Southern members, including
Ernest T. Florence and Edgar H. Far
rar of New Orleans and George White
lock and John Hinkley, of Baltimore,
declared their support of the commit
tees action was based entirely on a
desire not to set precedent for the
c6mission of negro lawyers generally,
as prior to 1911, when Butler R. Will
son Of Boston and William r. Morris
of Minneapolis, the other negro mem
bers whose seats are contested by the
committee, were admitted, the mem
bership was composed of white law
yers only.
and to any legislation which would af-
feet the present tenure Of judges is
expressed in a special report which
has been prepared for presentation to
the association. Frank B. Kellogg of
ST. Paul, chairman of the committee
which prepared the report, said in
vestiation showed almost every rep.
utable attorney in the country was op-
posed to the recall of judges"
Seneca NJ. Tyler of st. Louis brought
from the National Assembly Of Com
missioners on Uniform State Laws a
model bill to be offered for adoption
by various state legislatures, which
will prohibit the marriage In other
states of divorced persons who have
been prohibited from marrying in
any one state.
Owing to the length of the opening
address, it was believed the report Of
the executive committee unseating
Lewis because he is a negro, would
not be considered until late today.
Governor Francis E. McGoyern told
the 1000 lawyers from all parts of the
country that "the people were be-
coming tired of judicial usurpation
and the settlement of law cases ON
technicalities rather than merit"
The address of S. S. Gregory Of
Chicago, president of the association,
took up the later part Of the morn
ing session.

BAUM TAKES

(By United Press Leased Vire.e

SAN FRANCISCO, March 49,
Jim Hart must have a Crouch
He has been sore at the game ever
since he got out of it because
somebody is making more money
at 1t than he did"
Without mincing words. Presi-
dent AL Baum of the Pacific Coas,
league today made a vigorous re-
ply to a statement made in Los
Angeles by James A. Hart, former
owner of the Chicago Cubs, who
declared that he was In hearty
sympathy with a resolution intro
duced in congress yesterday de-
handing an investigation OF the
so-called baseball trust.
Baseball today" continued
President Baum, lis in better con-
dition all over the country than
ever before, especially in the mat
ter of the expenditure of money.
They were not building million
dollar baseball parks in Harris
day, nor were they paying the
players the big salaries. There
was Bill Lange, for instance, one
of the greatest stars that ever
played for Hart or any other OWL
er. Imagine a player of Lange's
caliber playing today for a paltry
$4,000. That's about what Lange
was receiving when he voluntarily
quit the Cubs, never returning TO
the game, and when L4ange an
nounced his retirement Hart I'm
mediately realized his real worth
and offered him $4,000 to come
back.
There's something wrong with
Hart. When he was here he re-
fused to talk baseball, saying he
was out of it forever and wanted
to forget 1t. It's rather strange
that he should be the one man, of
all men in the millions who love
the game, to make the kind or
talk he is credited with having
made"

Neither performer had keen COM

The local club ran off with the

creditable showing. The students
rolled up % points, to 48 for the

RILEY AFTER
DEEL'S TITLE:

Frank Riley is so confident
THAT he has a chance to defeat
Fred Beel in their wrestling
match here March q that he has
refused an offer Of 35 per cent
for win, lose or draw and taken
the ultimatum of 80 per cent to
the winner aud 20 per cent to the
loser. He is willing to bet this
5 per cent of a good purse that
he stands an even break with the
|middleweight champion of the
world.
When the match was arranged
Beel agreed to sign up for 60 and
80 whichever way the decision
went, but when he found Riley
was bent on trying to wrest the
title from him he reduced Riley's
to the regular per cent.
The Moose lodge last night rat
ified the action of the special COM
mittee in securing the match as a
benefit for the Moose athletes,
and preparations are being rush
ed. The Moose are planning a
strenuous ticket sale campaign
and expect to make the attendance
a record-breaker.
Riley's action has resulted in
considerable speculation on the
part of the fans. He is known to
be clever, fast, strong and scien-
tific, but the enthusiasts could
hardly imagine he would attempt
to wrest the title from a man of
Beel's standing.
If?-and let 1t be said with a
question mark because of Beel's
great record-Riley should grab
the title plum. the Beel-Coleman
match scheduled for the following
night In Seattle would be cancelled
until Riley could get himself in
shape to meet Coleman. Those
who have been looking up the
records say that Riley has almost
as good chance as Coleman.
