District. it may be doubted whether II
fact its interests would be rendered
| thereby more secure; and certainly the
Constitution does not consider theil
want of a representative in Congress as
| eNempting it from equal taxation"
! The Washingtonian needs access or
| equal terms with other Americans tt
the federal courts: the same right tt
! sue in federal court as that enjoyed
by the citizens of state.
| 1t is no longer hopeless task to at.
| tempt amendment of the Constitution
except as the aftermath of civil war
1t has recently been twice amended ir
quick succession.
This constitutional amendment which
| urge was first suggested in substance
| by A. B. Woodward in 1901.
Mr.. Chaplin Brownie was not q
member of Congress?
Mr.. Noyes-No; he was not men,
| ber of Congress.
! 1t was advocated by me in The Star
in 1883. was proposed formally in Con
gresS by Senator Blair in 1883 and in
| 1889, and subsequently was ably cham
Diened by him. 1t was renewed with
verbal notifications by Senator CALM
ser.in later years, and is now in sub
stance pushed by the special suffrage
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
and by other organizations of WASH
| ingtonians.
In this year Of our Lord 1916 genuine
American representation for the Dis
of a state. and not on the lines of
| territory. Until 1850 the District was
entitled by it's population only to treat
ment as a territory.
The demand by Washington for ter
ritorial representation in Jackson S
time. and the territorial representation
granted it in the seventies of the last
century measured up fully to the re-
then be fairly asked oragiven. But since
1880. or certainly since 1880. the Dis
trict has had the population which en-
titles it to voting representation in
Congress. And it's representation by a
voteless territorial delegate in 1916
would be as much an anachronism as
full voting representation in Congress
under A. B. Woodward's constitutional
amendment would have been in 1901.
Our proposed legislation destroys
nothing. 1t is supplementary to exist
ing law. adapting the latter better to
the conditions and needs of today. 1t
is thoroughly constructive. 1t is not in
the smallest particular destructive.
1t leaves undisturbed and confirms
the national control of the nations city
and the corresponding nationa! obliga-
ton of adequate financial participation
the National Capital. The organic"
act of 1878 and the exclusive legisla-
ton clause of the Constitution are
alike untouched.
1t makes American c1tlZens OF the
people of this community. giving them
effective representation in Congress,
their local and national legislature,
which may deprive them of their prop
erty by taxation and of life or limb by
sending them to war. Such representa-
ton is not inconsistent with the eNclu-
sive power of legislation concerning the
District possessed by Congress. On the
contrary. such representation is the
more essential since Congress is not
only washington's national legislature,
but its municipal and state legislature.
Senator Hollis-Can you state how
many states there are in the Union
with less population than the District
of Columbia?
Mr. Noyes.There are six Census 1870.

CORTEZ CONFIDENT
OF TRIMMING HOUCK

Andy Cortez, OF New York. who is
slated to battle Willie Houck, the Mount
Airy wild cat, at the Maryland Athletic
and Social Club, Of Ardmore, Nd. on
Monday night sends in an interesting
statement in regards to his condition.
Andy claims that he is sure that he can
hang the kayo wallop on his Quaker
City opponent. He Is in the best of
shape and weights 135 pounds, which is
two pounds over the lightweight limit
As there is no weight limit required for
this contest Cortez will not attempt to
make the limit and believes that he
will be in the best Of shape to give the
Philadelphia mauler a real trimming
Nothing definite has been heard from
Willie Houck since the signing of the
articles. but as the Quaker City lad is
battler who is always in shape the
local fight fans can expect one Of the
best fights that has been held at the club
recently. Both boys are sluggers from
the word go, and should put up a rafting
good bout.
Matchmaker Freeman has finished ar
rangements on his card. Jack Moran
will battle Sailor White in an eight
round semiwind-up, while Joe Black
burne and Turk Smith will go four
rounds, with Ben Conroy and Young
Duvall going the same route in the open
ing bout Of the evening.

GRANT SLATED TO
MEET LOUIS ZEREGA

Louis Scroggins, the local heavyweight
grappler. proved tough customer for
Joe Grant, the popular middle-weight
wrestler. in the bout at the Gayety The
ater last night. The headquarters de-
tective succeeded in pinning the shoulders
Of Scroggins to the mat in fourteen min
utes in the handicap match. after one of
the hardest-fought bouts witnessed here
in a long while. Grant used toe hold
and half Nelson.
Tonight, Louis Zerega. the local Italian
demon, who is considered the equal of
any grappler in the world at the rough
house game, is slated to meet Grant in
a handicap match. Grant agrees to throw
Zerega once in fifteen minutes or forfeit
the purse. Many of the followers of the
game believe that Grants successful
progress will be halted when he tackles
the local rough-house king.

Plank did not appear to have q
whole lot OF stun but the Griffmen
could do very little against him. A
number Of hard-hIt balls had they
gone safe might have sent the vet
srsn to the showers early In the COM
bat That Plank did not finish the
game was because Fielder Jones sent
up q pinch hitter in the eighth inning.
Finch, a young right handler, relieyd
the veteran.
Pretty Piece of Fielding.
The only hgding feature worthy Of
note was a pretty play in the Browns
half Of the seventh. when Pratt smash
ed a line drive at Boehling, the ball
shooting on toward the territory
guarded by Morgan. Dashing in like
race horse, Morgan gathered up the
flying sphere and retired Pratt at first
base
The Nationals got Foster on second
and Milan on first in the opening chap
ter after one had perished, but there
was no help forthcoming from Ron
deau and Judge, although Judge crash
ed to deep right for what looked to be
a regulation triple. Miller, however,
speared the ball after a hard run and
the crowd cheered him for making q
fancy catch.
Milan opened the Nationals half Of
the fourth by laying down a bunt
which Plank could not handle and
beating the ball to frst base. Milan
followed this up by stealing second
only to stick around on that spot while
the next three batters died in turn
Plank walked BoehlIng and Morgan
after two had gone in the fifth, but
the side was retired when Foster died
Pratt to Sisler.
The Nationals won the old ball game
in the sixth, Milan drawing a free
ticket for a starter. Rondeau flied to
Miller. Pratt threw out Judge and
on this play Milan scampered down
to second base. Howard Shanks sin
gIed to left field, Shotton fumbling
the ball a second or so, permitting
Milan plenty of opportunity to score.
Had Shotton handled the ball cleanly
IL is doubtful II he could have turned
back the speedy Tennessean.
The Browns threatened to score on
Roehling in the second, third and fourth,
getting runners within striking distance
Of the plate. but the smiling southpaw
was able to hold the enemy in check
Plank and Shotton both singled IN turn
to open the st. Louis sixth and a run

Browns Threaten to score.
The Browns eighth was thriller when
1t seemed as II nothing short Of a mir

clever piece OF fielding on the part Of
Howard Shanks, averted the threatening
disaster
To STRAIT the eighth, Fielder Jones sent
up Hank Severid, the hard hitting
catcher. to pinch hit for Plank. SEVERED
flied to Shanks. Bert Shotton grounded
to Judge and Boehling covered the bag
but dropped Judges perfect throw. John
son doubled to right putting Shotton on
third base. At this stage Manager Jones
ordered Jimmy Austin to pinch hit for
Ward Miller. Miller sent Shanks a ny
ball which Howard gathered in right be-
hind third base and when Shotton at
tempted to score on the out, a perfect
peg to Henry found the ball in the
catcher's hands when Shotton arrived
at the plate, ending the inning and incl

NEWS OF STEELTON
LEAGUE FAVORS
POLE REMOVAL
Endorses Plan to Replace Over
head Wires With Standard
Street Lights

Hearty endorsement of the plan to
remove all poles and overhead wires
in Front and Second streets and to
substitute the standard system of
lighting, was given by the Municipal
League of Steelton at its first Fall
meeting last evening.
The league members discussed the
proposition from various angles and
many of the men expressed them
selves as heartily in accord with the
plan which they declared would be
another big step towards placing
Steelton in a favorable position in
reference to other municipalities in
the State.
7. 7. McEntee, president of the
league, who was instrumental in hav-
ing the plan placed before borough
council, was attending last evening S
special session of council and was un-
able to get the league meeting until
rather late. When he did arrive,
however, he outlined the plan briefly
to the members.
The resolution passed by the league
said: Resolved, That the Municipal
League expresses it's approval of the
Idea of removing poles and overhead
wires from Front and Second streets
and the installation of light stand
ards"
The league also discussed the canal
and railroad spur projects and the
members seemed satisfied with the
offer made by the Steel Company and
railroad.
DR.. Robert MEG. Hursh and David
Morrison were elected members of the
organization.
