ADOPTS
WORKING RULES
FIVE MEMBERS DIRECTING CAN
KILL ANY BILL FOR NEXT
TWO DAYS.

Ono hundred and twenty nine
House bills are on the Senate calen-
dar. Most of them will still be there
when the Senate adjourns Saturday.
Fought out in committees and thresh-
ed about on the House floor, dozens
OF measures, meritorious and dan
gerous alike. are about to suffer
ignominious death. Death from neg
lect viii he their fate.
A resolution adopted by the Senate
yesterday makes 1t almost impossible
to call UP bin unless favored unani-
mously. Offered by Mr.. Echols, il
allows only bills to be considered
against which less than i've members
raise objection. Five objections pass
IL by.
The resolution met with strong
objection from MIR. Wendenburg, who
wanted the Senate to take up the
calendar and consider each bill for
five minutes. skipping none and vot-
ing upon all. This was voted down
Mr.. Paul and others spoke for the
Wendenburg substitute, declaring that
although a majority wished bill
passed five was sufficient to kill q
measure no matter how important.
The Senate will convene this morn
ing at 10 o'clock. An hour later the
reuislFicunB Dill considered last night
by tho Committee on Privileges and
Elections will be taken up. 1t will
consume all of the day and IT is like
~ a night session will he held. This
leaves one day to consider other bills.
All special orders have been dispos-
ed OF. but many important bills re-
main.
Besides the large number OF House
bills on the calendar there are many
Senate bills, whose patrons have
given up hope. Even If taken up and
passed they could never be shot
through the House now. which will
today adopt n rule similar to the one
the Senate will work under for the
remaining two days.

SENATE REFUSES TO
RAISE LICENSE TAX

Supported by every wet in the
Chamber and by many Of the dries.
Messrs. Hart and Lesner yesterday
had the Senate frown down an amend
ment to a bill of theirs which would
have raised the liquor taxes Their
bill was to put home hreweries on
the same footing as foreign In regard
to license taxes.
Under a recent ruling Of the state
Supreme Court breweries with home
Offices in Virginia may be charged
additional licenses for branch storage
and distributing houses.
When the bill went to the House
an amendment was added raising all
license taxes. This was voted down
in the Senate yesterday Authors Of

home breweries be taxed double

hence is given foot ball accidents than to
| those encountered in base ball. 1t is SIM
| ply this-that the majority of people are
fairly familiar with base ball and, know
ing the game. as they do. realize that
while there is always present an element
OF danger, it is reduced to minimum by
knowledge of the game, it being plain
that In the majority of incidents when &C
cidents occur in base ball they are due
mainly to some awkward position in
which the player has contrived to place
himself.
In foot ball the majority of people do
not know the game as they do base ball
and it is impossible for them to know
what is going on. They do not know
that the same conditions exist in base
ball and foot ball and tibet accidents in
each are due in the majority of instances
to inability on the part of the players to
meet situations as they should.
Another instance of the light in which
the two games are held may be mention
ed in the case of Marmion, another lad
who sustained a broken bone Yesterday
in a ball game. Last fall the same young
ster was slightly injured in a back lot

devoted to the matter on the front page

safe at all its stages.
Business and Technical High will meet
tomorrow. Which will win is question,
but it is likely that Tech will get away
with the winning end of the score. Bust
ness has very far team, though, and is
likely to upset all ideas concerning Il con-

AGGIES ARE EASY,
Mount Washington Wins Lacrosse
Game Under a Pull

BALTIMORE, Md, May o.-The Mary.
land Agriculture lacrosse team was easily
downed by the Mount Washington SQUAD
yesterday at Mount Washington. 10 to 1.
1t was the first game of the season for
the College Park lads, and lack of work
told on the visitors. The aggressive
Mountaineers went after the Aggies from
the start and took things easy later on.
The first goal for Mount Washington
was scored about 1--WE minutes after the
game started. Five more were sent
through the net in the first half The
Mountaineers' stickwork was up to the
mark. while the passing and work of
the visitors were deficient. The Aggies
tried to score in the first half, but the
superb work of the entire Mount Wash
ington team prevented it. Gray and Pow
ell played well for the visitors, but the
other players could not cope with the
fast work of the Hillmen.
In the second half the Aggies struck
their stride, and during the early portion
scored their only goal. Several times
they threatened to tally. but poor pass
ing resulted. In the latter half the Hill
men slowed up trifie. but managed to
get four more tallies. Briscoe started the
game at goal for the Mountaineers, but
retired later in favor of Blank.

YESTERDAYS RESULTS.
Sherwood, &: Ingram, >.

Ingram was taught a Very good lesson
yesterday, as the team went into the
field without bit of fielding or batting
practice, which was undoubtedly the
cause of it's first defeat.
1t is certainly too bad that a league
was not formed with the teams from
the East Washington Sunday schools,
made up of Metropolitan, First M. r.,
Nativity, Lincoln Avenue, Ingram and
North Carolina, as they would be
evenly matched and it would be great
race, and the interest would have been
intense all through the season.
Gish of Ingram should develop into a
great pitcher. This is his first season

This was the opening of the season
for the Sunday School League on their
new grounds at 14th and streets north

the popularity OF the old circuit.

o'clock.
Big Bryant of Virginia League fame
was the whole show i'm the Car Depart
ment-Adams game yesterday. and it was
not until the final round that the last
years champs were able to send a tally
over the pan. In the seven innings Bry-
ant whitfield fourteen men and only one
went to first on balls. Bell was the re-
cipient of some weird backing UP and
throwing, but allowed Adams only six
hits.
1t is not often that Sullivan miscues in
piuches, but yesterday he contributed
two to the error column and each helped
Adams considerably. Sullivan has been
playing in this circuit since it's organ
fzation as member of the Car Depart
ment and Shops team, and Is surely one
of the stars of the league: A sensational
fielder, good batter and moreover is
very popular.
Manager Gibson switched his team with
good results yesterday and sent himsE.
to left field. A walk, clean single and
a long fly were his contributions to the
box score.
Violet, who cavorted around short for
the Adams aggregation. was a member
of the team which Won the pennant in
this league two years ago. Shortstopping
is new to "Reds, but he threw out two
nicely apd errored on one chance which
was excusable.
Seven innings yesterday and the man.

Although the Bumpers won out. they
used two pitchers, while the Gunners.

two innings were too much for him.

for both teams, the bumpers being the
winners of pair. while the Gunners
have lost two.
o. Clark of the bumpers did some fine
work on the bases, stealing three by his
daring.
Steele made the longest hit of the
game, which was long triple. o. Clark
was really the batting hero, though. with
two hits out of two times up.
Martin. who started for the bumpers
