FRENCH AND SMITH
VOTE WITH MINORITY
tCopyrightl

Washington, April 6.-Represen-
tatives French and Smith of Idaho,
voted against the repeal of the law
allowing free passage thru the PAN
anna canal of coast-wise vessels.
The former participated in the de-
bate on the question, and during
the course of his speech he called
attention to the understanding of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty by those
who had part in its framing and
Interpretation, including former
Senator Turner of Washington,
Theodore Roosevelt, President Taft
and and others and also pointed out
that the republican, progressive and
democratic parties all bound them
selves to support the policy of free
tolls in their last national platforms
and that he made the same promise
to the people of Idaho in his last
campaign.
He pointed out that when the bill
was passed two years ago he stood
for preventing the use of the canal
by the railroads of the United States
and favored free tolls to coastwise
trade in order that there might be
the greatest competition possible In
freight rates between the northwest
and the markets of the east. Mr.
French believed then and believes
now that the Panama canal vii
mean millions of dollars in prof.
saved from freight rates to the peo
| pie of the northwest annually anC
that free tolls would mean still fur
ther for their advantage.
Mr.. Smith did participate in tn,
debate, but in commenting in regard
to his position on the question h
said.

dition would arise which would pre-

and NOW
THEN
(By Associated Press.)

Seventy-nine years ago today the
Liberty Bell tolled for the last time.
On that day it was proclaiming the
nations grief over the death of Chief
Justice John Marshall, whose body was
being taken from Philadelphia to its
final resting place in Virginia. Sud.
denly, the tone of the bell changed,
became muffled as with grief. The
bell-ringer hurried to the tower of the
| State House. He found great
crack in the side of the bell In the
circumstance many professed to see
fitting climax to one of the most i'm
portant epochs in the nations history.
Fifty-nine years before the bell had
run out the glad tidings that the
Declaration of independence had been
signed and adopted-this day it's
tongue forever became silent during
the funeral services of Chief Justice
Marshall, the last of the Signers of
the Declaration and the last of George

associates. Once before
the bell had cracked. Made in Eng
land at the order and expense of the I
Colony of Pennsylvania in 1853 where
it was given its first test for tone.
The first blow of the clapper made
wide crack in the bell. A Philadelphia
firm offered to recast it and rather
than wait for its return from England
the Colonists turned it over to them.
The foundrymen thought to increase
the sweetness of its tone by increasing
the proportion of copper, but they
deadened the tone so that it could
hardly be heard. Again the bell was
recast and it proving successful this
time it was rung in the State House
steeple where for the following eighty
two years it's tongue heralded every
important national event.

UMPIRES TO have
their own FRATERNITY

II had to come. In line with all
other organizations for mutual pro-
lection. etc, the poor umpires are or
ganizing a fraternity. Bill Brennan.
chief of staff in the Federal League, is
the organizer, and the st. Paul Adonis,
expects to enroll every arbiter in the
business, whether he be a Fed" bush
Lacquer or hireling of organized ball.
Brennan's organization will be fra
ternity pure and simple that will aim
for the protection of the umpires and
a fair adjudication of differences. The
organization will make no attempt to
regulate salaries, but will insist on a
square deal in matters that are just as
important.
Concerted action will be taken to
protect umpires against silly abuse,
and appeals will be made to club own
ers for the punishment of players or
others whose misconduct interferes
with an umpire in the discharge of
his duty. The organization also
would aim for strict uniformity in
the Interpretation of the written and
unwritten rules of the game.
Such an organization would help
the game" said Brennan. "Umpires
would be better enabled to adjust
their grievances if they worked to-
gether in a fraternal way. II is inn
portant that umpires be shown more
respect, not entirely for the sake of
the umpire, but for the good of the
game"

FUTURE IN DOUBT

MEETING
TO BE HELD SOON

In view Of the way in which the clubs
in the Iri-Statc League limped through
the 1914 season and the various degrees
of failure which characterized the make
mp of the organization last summer and
fall il is pretty hard TO determine the
future of the league or 10 say what will
be- done at the annual meeting this win
ter That the league will continue is
not at all certain.
Tho bad year in baseball hit the minor
leagues hard throughout the country ana
took a mighty good whack at the era
ham organization in passing. Some
minors did not finish their schedules at
all, while the number Of Individual
clubs 10 disband were many The Iri-
State played out its schedule, but lost
a great deal of money. No announce
ment of the date for the annual meet
ing of the league has been made by
President Graham, but it will probably
be- held in Philadelphia some time next
month.
Things are in n pretty bad way in the
Tri-State. York's franchise has been
seized by the league and what was left
of the team struggled through few
hard weeks in Lancaster until the ter
mination of the schedule let Eddie
Hooper and his men down easy. VIII
mington was in Just as bad shape and
win not be in the league another year.
These are the only clubs which
actually had to throw up the sponge
last year Some Of the others, how
ever. will not be back in line under
present conditions. Trenton, so Bill
Morris says, will be for sale at the
league meeting, and It is not alto
gothor improbable that Reading will
be willing to drop out, especially II

Tri-State baseball magnates seem
to think that the only salvation there

present war is knocking the spots off
the majors and minors, too, is to
