The president sent to the senate
the nomination of Edmund K. Bill
lings to be- collector of customs ut
Boston, Mass. The nomination had
been vigorously opposed by organiza'
ton Demoerats Of Massachusetts on
the ground that Mr.. Billings had not
been an active Democrat.
President Wilson upheld National
Committeeman A. Mitchell Palmer
in the matter of the appointment OF
a collector Of internal revenue foI
the eastern district of Pennsylvania
when he sent to the senate the NOM
nation OF Ephraim Lederer, an at.
torney Of Philadelphia, for the posi-
ton. Representative Dohonoe had
Endorsed for this place John o'Day.
but Mr.. Palmer. held that Donohoe's
Democracy. as exemplified by his
vote against the Democratic tariff
bill, is not such as to entitle him to
much consideration at the hands Of
u Democratic administration. The
president upheld that view by mani
ing Mr.. Lederer.

A young lady visiting her relations
on a farm went out in the yard to
watch her young cousin play with

chicken were to lay an egg what
would you do with it," He looked up
surprised. then said: "Oh, I'd sell it
to a museum. That chickens roost-

CONSECUTIVE WINS

Let the eagle scream. Frank Marshall's
victory at Havana. even though he f:ll-
tered in the last round and lost to Ja-
nowski. concluded one of the most mar
velous winning streaks in the annals OF
chess. Thirteen games at New York aad
thirteen at Havana without loss-"cAn
you beat it," That Kupchicks draw with
Capablanca in the last round enablet
the great American to stand alone nt
the top of the column carrnot detrsct
from the brilliancy of such a record:
but Kupchick, by holding off the Cubsf.
when a win would have given him. q
tie for first money. is deserving OF AL
most as much praise as Marshall HIM
self. When 1t Is further considered that
the New York tournament was the first
master event In which this young player
had ever taken part, that the excite
ment. when it was known that Marshall
was losing, must have been at white
heat, and that Capablanea must ha'ns
strained every nerve to win, this feat
OF the newest American master Will 40
down as one of the gamest exhibitors
in the history of tournament play. Chii-
jes, who was of color during the early
rounds, hit his true stride when neil
the finish. and tied with kupcaick foi
fourth place. Blanco and Corzo played
excellent chess in spots, but the spoi
were too far apart.
