with me for an hour or more. He was
an absentminded man and had habit
of catching hold of button of my

May Have Auto
Polo Game Here
Plan to Hold Event At
Athletic Park.

Richmond people NAL have an
opportunity to witness the latest
development in the automobile
line, known as auto polo.
Plans are being made by a 10
cal automobile dealer to stage a
game of auto polo at Athletic
park, South Twenty-third street
some time this summer.
A game of this new type of
sport was staged before hundreds
of people at Wichita, Kas., recent
ly. Thrills that are missing in
most of the present-day games
were to be found there, according
to the spectators. So successful
was the first trial of this game
that another is being planned for
the same city on July of this
year.
The game was played on field
LOO feet long and 500 feet wide.
The goals of the respective teams
were placed at the ends of this
oblong space. A pneumatic ball,
about the size of the ordinary bas-
ket ball was made the object of
the mallets in the hands of the
players, the object of the game be-
ing to drive the ball across the
goal line of the opponent.
Two teams took part in the con-
test. Each team consisted of four
men. Two automobiles were used
d by each team, one being used as
forward" machine, and the
other as a goal tender" One
of the players in. each machine
drove the car while the other held
in a precarious position to a tapped
iron bar. Each mallet man was
provided with a heavy mallet with
a long handle, much the same. only
greater in weight, as the ordinary
croquet mallet. Because of the
likelihood of spills" a curved
arch of iron pipe was placed over
the drivers head and attached to
the sides of the car.
The referee placed the ball in

President Favors Taking 1t Up Sched-
ulc by Observation-Disclosures
Feels Different.

WASHINGTON, April THE
Democratic party in full possession
of the executive and legislative bran
ches of the national government. to-
day turned the wheels of legislation
toward a revision of the tariff.
Leaders of the house presented to
the country tariff bill voluminous
in detail, and radical in its proposed
reduction of existing duties. As a
whole it was the product of debate
and study by the democrats from the
time they came into the majority in
the house two years ago but 1t repre-
sented particularly the conclusions of
the house ways and means committee
after several months of work. 1t car
ried also the approval of the presi-
dent.
Seven OF the ten democratic mem
bers of the senate finance committee
early in the day, had by Chairman
Simmons, told the president that an
attempt to put through a single bill
would be hazardous. The president
said he did not believe any OF the
democratic senators would seek to
shoulder the responsibility for defeat
ing the program Of the party. He.
nevertheless, heard in detail the ar
guments advanced for a schedule by
schedule revision and decided to con-
suit again with Representative Os-
car Underwood, leader Of the house.
who favors the single bill process.
Mr.. Underwood said the caucus OF
house democrats tomorrow would be-
gin to consider Items and that the
question OF reporting single bill
from the ways and means committee
or segregating those portions around
which opposition centers would not
have to be decided Immediately.
The Louisiana senators afe being
urged by their constituents to oppose
ultimate free sugar and are said to
have the support Of other democratic
members Of the senate.
Just what opposition to the bill
might be expected from those who
are against free wool was not appar-
ent today. Senator Ashurst, who had
been reported as ready to vote
against the bill because 1t provided
for free wool, denied on the floor of
the senate that he had any such in
tention.
