APPOINTMENT BILL
PASSES IN
SENATE
RuMoRED THAT PRESIDENT TAFT
WILL VETO BILL, THOUGH 1T
HOLDS UP HIS SALARY.
(Bu Associated PreSS.)

Washington, D. c., Aug. THE
Senate by vote of thirty to nineteen,
adopted today the Legislative, Execu-
tive and Judicial Appointment bill
carrying provisions for the abolition
of the Commerce Court and the reten-
ton of its five judges as extra circuit
judges, and limited terms for civil
service employees. Some of Presi-
dent Tafts friends say he will veto
the bill, although in doing so he will
hold up his own salary and that of
every member of Congress and every
United States Judge. The President
is said to oppose the Civil Service and
Commerce Court provisions.

THE PEOPLES PLAYHOUSE.

Into the portals, aglitter with light,
Stream crowds of devotees, night af
ter night,
Seeking the newest in pantomine
play
Tragical, comical, somber or gay.
Varied the stories the long films re-
veal,
Stories of love in its endless appeal,
Stories of wrong and its tear-burdened
price,
Stories of heroes and brave sacrifice.
There is a reproduced classical play,
Here is a drama of Walter SCOTS
day,
Yonder a series of beautiful views
Showing the latest of all the worlds
news.
Rollicking comedy ofttimes holds
sway,
Followed by romance or martial dis
play;
Later, a tricky, inanimate thing
Open-mouthed wonder and pleasure
will bring.
Thus they plan on, never deignlng
to speak,
Night after night, and then week after
week;
Photoplay actors who patiently try
To teach life's great lessons by means
of the eye.

JOHNSON CHANGES HIS
 MIND ABOUT FIGHTING AGAIN

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Alderman Al Tear ney last night said that Jack Johnson had agreed to fight Sam Langford and Sam McVey in Australia under cer- tain conditions. as not yet compiled with by w. H. Mcintosh, the pro- moter.
 Johnson told representatives of Mo- Intosh that their offer of $40,000 for fights with Langford and McVey would be acceptable to him provided he re- ceived 5000 for training expenses and three roundtrip tickets to Australia. and provided that $10,O0O were depos- ited with me-" Tearney said ''He chose me as stakeholder because I had guided him in business invest ments. I have no connection with promoting the fights other than that of stakeholder.
 After Johnson had issued his ulti- matum McIntosh's. representatives came to me for references. That is the last I heard of the proposition"
 Johnson refused to confirm the re- port that he would re-enter the ring. He said he would fight if 1t would be 8 personal favor to Tearney."

SELECT DIFFERENT COURSE
 FOR VANDERBILT CUP RACE

The. course over which the Grand Prize and Vanderbilt Cup races will be run at Milwaukee isn't at all the original circuit laid out. The promot- CTS of the speed carnival announced first they had selected what is known as the Greenfield course, but only a few days ago came out with the an- nouncementi that they had dropped this on June 1 and that the Wau- watosa circuit. in an entirely differ ent part of Milwaukee county, would be utilized.
 The reason for the secrecy lay in outwitting coneessionaires who had bought up rights all along the road the moment public announcement was made in the spring of the Greenfield course as that for the race. After signing up almost all the property owners on the Greenfield line the promoters found, they said, that nearly every foot of the course would be covered with peanut stands and soda water bars"
 Just at this time the chairman of the town board of Wauwatosa. gave the promoters an offer to build a course and insure titles for three years

SAM KENNEDY WANTS MERIDEN
 BACK IN LEAGUE
! (Meriden Journal.l

Sam Kennedy. the Cleveland base ball scout, formerly manager in Mer- iden and New London, who now has been in the American league for five years, was in Meriden today to at- tend to further details in connection With his purpose of putting Meriden Tn the Connecticut league next season MT. Kennedy says the outlook is good put II there should be a slip-up he probably would buy the Waterbury club.
 President o'Rourke is said to favor having Meriden back in the fold again ana It 1snlikely that the league would then De made up of eight clubs. Nor ton F Plant, the Eastern Point in1I- !ionaire, Is willing to enter New Lon- don, and take nothing but his home receipts. As far as ample financial backing is concerned Kennedy is not worrying, and he is confident that the Meriden team will pay, as he says that when he was in Meriden before he never lost money.
 There is not a shadow of a doubt but that the Connecticut league would be greatly strengthened with Meflden and New London on the map. AS far as grounds for the games are concerned Meriden has the best ball held in the state, and Sam Kennedy knows, this fact better than any one else If Morton E. Plant puts team Tn the race he might hand out bills ln such quantities for home runs that Dan O'Neil would look like a piker.
 Kennedy said this morning that through his wide experience in dig glng up the fast ones all over the country for his team that he would be able to get some of the best young sters in the game to represent the Meriden club.
