washington, April 24.--Begin-
ming the debate in the house today
on the Democratic tariff revision
bill, Representative Oscar w. Un-
derwoood OF Alabama, the majority
leader, predicted great relief for the
nation through the passage Of the
bill; Representative Augustus P.
Gardner OF Massachusetts, voiced Re-
publican skepticism for the coun-
try's future under such tariff sys-
tenn, and Representative Clyde Kel-
Iiy of Pennsylvania expressed the OPP
position OF the new Progressive par
ty to all tariff bills framed under
the present system.
Mr.. Underwood, In outlining the
bill, severely criticised the protec-
tive tariff theory based on the cost
Of production differences at home
and abroad and praised the COM
petitive tariff theory, declaring Il
would strengthen American indus
try and send American products In
to the worlds markets.
Representative Gardner admitted
that the people Of the national had
repudiated the Payne tariff and that
the Republican party had been dis
lodged from power, because It had
Ibeen too slow to recognize growing
evils and permitted "far too pow
erful oligarchy" to run the govern
ment its way instead Of the peo-
4 pies way. Hhe cautioned the DEM
ocrats to live up to their promises
to the people, declaring he believed
that If they did not the people would
turn to the new Progressive party.
i In presenting the views Of the
Progressive party, Representative
kelly criticised the present method
Of tariff legislation. He said that
the Underwood bill, like every other
bin in the history of the country,
was framed on basis Of insuffi-
lcdent information and political and
non-partisan log rolling"
Il Representatives Hayes Of Califor-
MIA declared that free sugar meant
destruction of the beet sugar in
Idustry without any substantial BEN
eft to the consumers of sugar. He
said the cutting of tariff on lemons
would injure that industry. and
that the proposed revision would
ruin olive oil. bean and dry fruit
industries in California, turning the
market for these products over to
: foreigners. The tariff debate will
be resumed tomorrow.

CITIES MUST BE KEPT CLEAN
New Law Makes Dirtiness Next tt
Lawlessness.

The legislators in their session
last winter passed law relating to
cleanliness OF cities Of the first and
second class based on the scriptural
text that. cleanliness is next to God
liness. They framed their law on
the opposite statement OF fact that
dirtiness is next to lawlessness and
have fixed severe penalty for the
aforesaid dirtiness. The law reads:
1t shall be unlawful for any per-
son to throw, place, deposit or leave
or cause to be thrown, placed, de-
posted or left, in any Of the public
streets, highways alleys, parks OF
thoroughfares Of any city of the

Henderson lIattin Butts In On the
Appointments.
srATn ADanNIsTRATIoN N. TOo
Chairman Fought Him I'm Primaries
and IL FightiHig Him Now
--wilsOn May Turn
Down Senator.

Washington. April 24.-Senator
Thompson Of Kansas is going to have
opposition over the patronage ques-
tion. This became known when
Henderson Martin, the Democratic
state chairman, arrived from To-
peka and filed protest with the post
master general against Capt. J. H.
Shields, whom Senator Thompson
had recommended for office.
Henderson Martin prefers James
Jacques, but is willing to accept Jer-
ry Fitzpatrick, a Wilson delegate to
the Baltimore convention, or any
one else whose appointment would
be q rundown for Senator Thomp-
son by the Wilson administration.
The state chairman wants to over
rule the custom long established OF
federal appointments being determ-
ined by the United States senator.
He has purpose in wishing sena-
tor Thompson'a Endorsements to be
ignored.
Chairman Martin was not an orig
inal Thompson man. He even dis
paraged the western senator's candi-
dacy, and showed his unfriendliness
on several occasions. After the SEN
ator received the party nomination
Henderson Martins friends demand
ed Of Senator Thompson that he
pledge his support to Martin for the
appointment of United States dis
trict attorney. Senator Thompson
refused, stating that under no cir
! cumstances would he recommend
Henderson Martin for United States
district attorney.
Therefore, the fight is on between
the state Democratic chairman and
the Democratic United States Fena
tor. II Mr.. Martin can overrule tbs
senator ON postoffices he may bt
able to do SO United States distric'
attorney.
4 The fact that President Wilson Il
said to be seriously considering thii
very action, has introduced new
element OF uncertainty in all ap'
6ointment matters and makes any
prophecy possible. It is said thai
in his fight against Senator Thomp'
sons appointments Henderson Mar
tin has the support of Governor
Hodges and an effort will be made
l to make Mr.. Wilson believe tina
| Henderson Martin and not Senator
Thompson represents the Democrat
ic party Of Kansas.

MAYOR
BEGINS REFoRMATIoN'
Council Gives Him $500 20 Hire
r. SIeuths.

The city council at Herington this
week voted to give the mayor . fund
OF 5000 for the purpose Of hiring
sIeuths to find the cracks In the hd
AZ that place. The beer party IN
which the ..higher" set participated
last Saturday night and which was
given a generous airing gave the
reform program an impetus.
The Herington Times says:
Herington will employ a detec-
tive to stamp out bootlegging. At
the meeting OF the council Monday
night, an appropriation Of 5000 was
made by the council to use In en-
ploying sleuths to ferret out the
bootleggers, this fund to be at the
disposal Of the mayor.
The matter was brought up Dy
Mayor Kuntz who said a woman had
approached him recently, saying that
someone was selling whiskey to hel
husband. The mayor told the coun-
ell he though Marshil Krieger wal
doing everything he could to fino
out who was distributing liquor Du'
the offenders were careful to ply
their business when he was MOI
around. The mayors position wal
that a detective would secure evi
dence much easier than q knowr
officer.
The question was discussed a
length. Some OF the councilmeI
said they thought the city was no
in position financially to make tn
| appropriation. The council as
whole thought that there was SOM
Liquor being dispensed here but no
great deal. Some objection wa
made to "spotter" evidence but whel
the motion was put, 1t carried almos

DENAREE MAY BE
PITCHING STAR OF
COMING BIG SERIES

Al Demaree, the Giants young hurl-
er. looks like a pitcher whom the Ath-
letics have real cause to fear in the
worlds series.
Demaree has a very battling motion,
unusual speed and a fair curve ball.
Looking at him for the first time, one
would get the impression that he is
bothered by a very sore arm. His
motion is that of a shot-putter, rather
than a pitcher, and some of the New
York scribes have dubbed him Ralph
Rose on account of this extraordin-
airy delivery.
But much as Al seems to suffer in
separating himself from the ball, he
gets something on it, and any batter
that faces him for the first time is
certain to be badly deceived. If he can
keep his fast one away from the left
apt to be very effective, but Collins
and Baker, who love speed, when it is
over the plate, have nothing to fear. If
he gets in a hole and has to give UP
working the corners.
George Burns, another young Giant,
is a very good ball player and a, dis
tinct addition to McGraw's club.
The idea that New York has any
cast-iron circh on the worlds series
does not obtain with some of the
newspaper men who have been follow
ing the Giants. Says one of the scribes,
whose reputa ton as a clever writer
and wise critic is national:
81 am by no means sanguine that the
New York club will win the worlds
SERIES There is nothing in the dope
to indicate that McGraw's men should
be favorite over the Mackmen. Phila-
delphia certainly will beat some of our
pitchers and may whip any of the rest
of them, while I am very much afraid
of Bender and believe that Eddie Plank
will be able to make US a lot of trou-
ble. The veteran southpaw may not
have as much stuff as he once boosted,
but his head is just as good as ever
and in a series where so much is at
stake, you may depend on him to pitch
some great ball.
IF Connie Mack starts Bob Shaw
key or Carroll Brown, against the
Giants he will be making a big mis-
take, for they will beat either one of
the men easily; in my opinion. Neither
has the class to hold the New York
club in series Of this Importance,
and it is a question whether either
has the necessary knowledge and ex-
perience to equip him for the task

NEW YORK FIRST
WON WORLDS FLAG A
QUARTER CENTURY AGO

1t was just a quarter of a century
ago, in October, 1888, that the well
known New York Giants won their
first National League pennant and
followed UP that victory by copping
the bunting symbolic of the world s
baseball cham pionship.
New York was a comparatively late
conner in professional baseball While
the National League was launched in
1876, many years passed before a
franchise was granted to Gotham.
The big town opposite Hoboken broke
into modern professional ball in 1881,
with a club in the Eastern Associa-
ton. This circuit however, was no
relation of Jim O'Rburke's present
league of that name. In 1883 the Ma
tional League dropped Troy and Wor-
cester, and put clubs in New York
and Philadelphia. The same season
the New York Metrop olitans joined
the American Association and cap
tured the pennant, but were defeated
for the worlds flag by Providence.
Five years were required to build
up the Giants into a. pennant winning
aggregation. William Ewing, common
ly called Buck was the McGraw of
his day who led the Giants to victory
In the 1888 worlds series the Giants
were pitted against the st. Louis club
which for the fourth consecutive year
had won the American Association
of them went to Ewing's. men, while
Conniskey's Browns won four. The
fans paid $24,362.1O to see the ten
games, or a daily average of $2,436.21,
which would be considered mighty
small pickings nowadays.
There were sure enough Giants in
those days. Buck Ewing, the pilot,
was as able a diamond general as the
game has ever produced. The Giant
lineup also included such immortal
players as Johnny Ward, Tim Keefe,
Roger Conner, Dannie Richardson
Mike Herman, Smiling Mickey
WEIGH, George Gore, Arthur Whitney,
and Jim O'Rourke. Jim is now presi-
dent, secretary, treasurer and chief of
umpires of the Eastern Association,
and has behind him a playing record
of thirty-six years Tim Keefe and
Smiling Mickey twirIed the Giants
to victory in the worlds series, Tim
winning all four of the games he
pitched. During the series of ten con-
tests New York scored sixty-four runs
to sixty one for st. Louis.
