STAMINA SHOWN
 IN SIX DAY BICYCLE RACE

| thour-Collins record of 1909. The Swiss team of the Suter brothers was two laps behind the leaders and Carman and Loftes of the Irovidence-Jama team were one lap behind.
 The Swiss team had lost one lap early in the day and with the Carman-Loftes combination fell behind another lap in a sensational sprint just before 10 o'clock tonight. The sprint lasted for nearly 10 minutes in which time every man on the track asked for relief four or five times. Kramer and Moran and Hill and Clarke figured most promi- nently as leaders. A fast pace was kept up for the next hour as was shown by the 22 miles which the riders ped aled in 60 minutes.
 At midnight, the seventy second hour, the positions of the teams were rela- lively unchanged. the 1i still tied for the lead having travelled l445 miles six laps, while the record of Carman and Loftes was 1445 miles five laps and of the Suter brothers 1445 miles four laps.

Buckland of the New Haven road said that inasmuch as the House committee on merchant marine and fisheries already was authorized to inquire into the New Haven's owner ship of steamboat lines. he could not see that anything could be accom- plshed by having special committee go over the same ground.
 We have been investigated contin- uously for six years" MT Buckland said. and il seems to me there should be some limit fixed.
 E. II. Walker of Washington, who ap- peared at the request of Chairman Hen ny to discuss the applica ton of the Sher- man law to the case, suggested that ii the Grand Trunk had, as a result of an agreement with the New Haven, aban- doned construction of the Southern New England road, after getting franchises from the states in apparent good faith. the only way congress could afford re- lief would be by enacting a law forbid ding the Grand Trunk, a Canadian cor poretion. to do business in the United States until after it had carried out it's promises.

None Will Be Confirmed in States Where Both Senators Are
 Democrats

1 Washington, December 11.--An ami lcable agreement in tle Senate over the
 confirmation of President Taft's nom- ination for federal positions seemed
 probable today when, after number
 of informal conferences among leaders a tentative plan was agreed upon. Under the arrangement proposed ne nominations for federal offices will Dc
 confirmed in states where both sena-
 tors are democrats but in all states
 where the senators are republicans
 there is to be no opposition to con- lfrmation of these places. It was under
 stood that many democratic leaders in
 the Senate would be satisfied if the ap-
 pointments in southern states were not but through.
 1 An effort is being made to settle the ! question of president pro tenpore of
 the Senate by the selection of Sen
 ator Gallinger to serve until March 4 Senator Bacon would become perma .
 nent presiding judge in the Archibald Impeachment trial.
 l Senate leaders were not sure, how ever, that these arrangements would go through, but it is being discussed.

NEW REGISTER ON
 TIDEWATER CARS

The Tidewater street cars have been equipped with a novel cash register.
 The cars are the "pay-as-you-enter' kind and the new cash device is placed so as to be convenient to both the white and co1ored sections of the car. The passenger deposits his fare in B small hopper which drops into a. glass covered chamber and can be seen by the conductor, who, after the passen- gers are seated, turns a lever and the money drops into the box and each fare registers. It will register nickelss dimes, or five pennies. Change is fur, nished by the conductor. The new method enables the passengers in both sections to deposit their fare at the same time and it possibly acts as aS check on the conductor. The company Is also installing electric heating de- vices, IS to the car. These heaters can be regulated according to the weather.

RODDENBERRY MAKES VERY BITTER SPEECH
Introduces Bill to Prohibit Inter- Mar. riage Between Whites and Negroes

Washington, December 11--Denuncia- i ton of the legal procedure under
 which "a brown-hued. ck-sllinned. l ck-lipped, f~utal- -heatred African
 can walk into an office or the law and | demand an edict guaranteeing him legal
 wedlock to a white woman" was one l of many sensational features of T speech in the House today by Rep resentative Roddenberry of Georgia in favor of a resolution he had intro- duced earlier to prohibit inter- marriage of whites and negroes.
 MT Roddenberry prophesied that the legal sanction of mixed marriage ulti- mately might bring this country to I conflict He declared that "ao bru- tality. infamy or degradation in all the days of southern slavery possessed such villanious characteristics and atrocious qualities as the permission of that mar riage by the laws of this country"
 The measure, a direct result of the recent marriage of Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, with a white girl, did not get to a vote.
 In Chicago, Mir. Roddenberry said. not only is the white slave traffic car ried on but "the white girls of this country are made the slaves of an African brute. sanctioned by the laws of the state and solemnized by a form Of the marirage ceremony
 MT. Ro6denberry added: "We say this is great country. with it's nor als traditions, virtues and examples deserving to be emulated and envied by the other countries of the earth. But we see an African with much bru- tai force with no moral character. with no stamina, entering the office of a probating magistrate or other legal officer in that city and calling on him to issue to me, Jack Johnson, a mar riage license to wed young Amer ican woman, of our own blood, our own color"

Called on LOOmis

NIr. Loomis testified that Judge Arch bald asked him to confere with Watson, expressing the opinion that a settlement
 might be reached. The judge later called upon him to learn the progress of the ne-
 gotiatons, he said. Mir. Truesdale told of a conference he attended upon the mat | ter.
 Wasn't the conference arranged by rea- son of Judge Archbald's request?" asked Representative Floyd, one of the House managers.
 1 "I presume so but MT. Watson also asked for a conference" was the reply. AIr. Phillips told of being invited to Judge Archbalds s house to talk about the possibilities of d settlement. The railroad officials testified that Watson wanted $161,0o0 in settlement, while they were not willing to gve that much. The negotia- tions failed.
 The charge that Judge Archibald was guilty of msbehavior in office in writing to Helm Bruce, an attorney in the New Orleans Montgomery rate case, when it was before thes commerce court, was the subject of a short examination of MT. Bruce.

scribed the defendant as one of band of suffragettes who are trying 10 ter rorize London. Elsie Howey herself told the police magistrate the only way in which the government could stop the women was to give them votes.
 London, December 11.-That the suf- fragette attack on the fire alarms was concerted one is indicated by the fact that in Manchester, Birmingham and other cities similar acts were committed. All the fire stations in London were in- undated this forenoon with postcards bearing the suffragette colors and in- scribed with the words: Vote for Women" and "Extinguish you if you can"
 London, December 11.-Sir Edwand Grey, secretary for foreign affairs, in a letter read at a suffrage meeting here to- night reaffirmed that woman's suffrage would have it's chance in the government reform bill. If parliament adopted the suffrage amendment, he declared, the government would Loyalty support it, al- though the ministers were divided on the subject.
