Part in Accord.
Senator Kern would not discuss de-
tails Of te long conference further
than to say that the whole matter was
thoroughly talked over, every sena-
tor participating in the discussion.
Senator O'Gorman said he thought the
senators and the president had parted
in accord as to the general program
of legislation to be undertaken. Sen
ator Thomas Of Colorado when asked
how long congress might be detained
by the legislative proposals said:
IF everything proposed is to be
passed we will be here until Deccm-
ber.'
Senators Of both parties were in
formed during the day Of the general
outline of legislation which Is being
worked into shape for submission to
congress in conferences between Sen
ator Newlands, chairman of the in
terstate commerce committee; Assist
ant Attorney General Todd; Judge
William l.. Chambers, commissioner
of mediation and conciliation, and
Edgar T.. Clark and other members of
the interstate commerce commission.
Senator Newlands is consulting in
interstate commerce committee, but
will not summon the committee in
formal session until draft is COM
plcted of a bill covering the proposals
which the president and his advisers
have in mind. Deliberations ON this
subject will be resumed tomorrow.
I'VE have undertaken the framing
of a general bill" said Senator New
lands tonight, regarding various
phases of legislation that will be nee
essary to meet this railroad situation.
In conferences begun today we
reached no conclusion except as to
the general scope of legislation that
will be required The purpose is to
take as "A basis for this legislation the
bill to enlarge the interstate COM
merce commission. To meet the
emergency we are considering also
legislation fixing an eight-hour work
day for railroad employees; an increase
in revenue TO the railroads to meet
greater expense of operation due to
adoption of the eight-hour day, and
amendment to the existing arbitration
laws.
1--WE are considering applying to
the arbitration law the Canadian
principle which would prohibit a
strike or lockout pending negotia-
tions and for a period of sixty days
following a decision in any contro-
versy.

Washington yesterday had power to
recall the order
In his conference with the members
of the senate Democratic legislative
steering committee, President Wilson
not only asked advice regarding the
deslrabllity of his laying the whole
railroad situation before congress i'm
a personal address. but discussed with
them problems of legislation to pre-
vent nation wide strike OF in the
event of strike, TO keep the roads I'm
operation for national necessities. He
disclosed to the committee the essen-
ual points in the protracted negotia-
lions he has conducted for two weeks
with railroad presidents and managers
and the representatives Of the brother
hoods.
The president reached the senate
office building a few minutes before
o'clock. He was ushered down one
of the long corridors to a committee
room where the committeeman
awaited him. Senators present were
Kern of Indiana; Martin. Virginia;
Chamberlain, Oregon; owen, Okla

Colorado; Reed, Missouri. James.
The conference continued for two
hours and a half. As the president
left the committee room he passed
group of newspaper correspondents
and was about to leave the building.
He turned suddenly, however, and
summoned the newspaper men.

he said, "and | might just as well tell

Will Take Over Roads.
In addition to this proposed con-
structve Legislation the president
and his advisers also have under
consideration the problem of legis-
lation in event Of a strike to keep
the railroads in operation.
''The problem involved in legis-
lation to insure operation of the
railroads in case of a strike" said
Senator Newlands. 'is how far con-
gress shall go in authorizing the
federal government through the
president to act. This legislation
will give the president authority to
draft trains and trainmen to operate
them under federal control The
question is shall the president he
authorized to draft trains merely for
military necessity and the transpor-
tation of the mails, or shall we go
further and provide for their opera
tion for general commercial trans
portation? This is a grave question
that has not been determined.
Opinion is divided in congress on
nearly all of the proposed enact
ments. Some Progressive Republi-
can leaders today said they doubted
the wisdom of enacting an eight
hour railroad law in the midst of a
threatened industrial crisis in which
the aristocrats Of labor attempt to
dictate to the railroads without re-
gard to the shippers and the public"
They also expressed the belief that
compulsory arbitration never could
be enforced in this country.

HEAvIEs DECEIVE FIGHT FANS
Hard to Pick the Good Ones Among
 the Biq Fellows.

Although Fred Fulton may not be anything like the wonder his packers would have the public believe, it is rather early to pronounce him a fail- ure. It is a difficult mater to predict correctly the future of a novice and heavyweights in particular are decep- tive in the early stages. For some unknown reason the big fellows never do acquire as much skill and science as the lighter men. Even Champion Willard would be no better than a third rater if he were chopped down to lightweight proportions. Because the heavies naturally are slow and clumsy they look particularly bad at have not been badly fooled by some dub who looked like a champion or some real fighter who failed to inn press at the outset of his career.
 Even the veteran Tom O'Rourke, who is one of the best judges of fistic material in the country, has made some bad blunders. A few years sTtyn. when the hunt Tor a man to beat JaCS Johnson was at its height, O'Rourke spent much time and attention in de- veloping a heavyweight capable Of winning the big prize At that time
 O'Rourke had the pick of all the young giants who headed for New
 York in search of fistic fame. Yet

All the leading college baseball teams in the east began to play in their real stride last week, and from this date on preliminary games will be things of the past With Harvard. Yale. Princeton and Holy Cross in the south on the annual spring training taun1s, something of a true line was obtained of the relative merits of the hines which usually fight it out for the championship in the last days of June.
 Barring the sensational play of the Columbia nine, Harvard seems to have one of the best balanced teams in the east This is especially SO when Ma han is in the box for the Crimson. game, while Yale is apparently in a bad way because of the loss of the heart of its veteran strength because of the wholesale disbarment for sum- mer baseball that took place early !. the winter.

vices as the man who actually did the fighting, so he refused to sign a con tract. If O'Rourke could have fore seen that Willard some day would be champion he would have been satis- fied with much less than 50 per cent
 O'ROuTke was not the only expert to be fooled by Willard, however. Right up to the day of the battle at Havana there were not half a dozen well known critics who thought that Willard was a great fighter. The num- Der who thought he had a fair chance to beat Johnson was considerable, but all based their belief on the fact that the negro was al in physically rather than that Willard had any great abil- ity.
 Out on the Pacific coast, where they have seen most of the big battles over a distance since Horton law days, the experts were sure that Willard was a joke. Even after he had defeated Johnson they refused to believe in hi mand freely predicted that Moran would take his measure in a few rounds. Since tine recent battle at the Garden, however.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS BULLISH.
Active Specialties Advanced One tt
 Three Points in the First Hour.

New York, April 25.-Wall Streets belief in the increasing ibetterment of the country's external relations was exemplified by a further advance of prices today, although some of this advantage was forfeited in the final hour. Overnight advices from Berlin suggested a willingness from that quarter to grant concessions and there were other signs of diminution of the strain.
 This was partly nuIIifed, however, by reports of grave disturbances in Ireland and indications of another disagreement in the British cabinet. Continued delay in the French credit negotiations with our bankers was aS- cribed to the inability of the con- tracing parties to arrive at a definite understanding regarding the charac- ter of the underlying collateria1.
 The market opened with another outburst of bullish enthusiasm and stampede of the shorts, active special ties advancing one to three points in the first hour and increasing this lead before midday. There were free of ferings on the rise but these were con- fident1y absorbed until midday, when the activity and advance came to a halt. Thereafter dealings dwindled and prices manifested some irregular ity.
 Traders were inclined to regard U. $. Steel as a barometer of the mar ket, that stocks advance of l 1-2 points in the forenoon being accom- panied by rumors of an extra divi- dend by the directors, who were to meet after the close of the market As 1t afterwards developed, the steel board at no time considered the ques- tion of an additional disbursement, al- though 1t was admitted that the rec ord earnings would have justified such action Mercantile Marines were the dominant issues, combined dealings ir the preferred and common shares, al extreme advances of 8 1-2 and 1 7-S respectively comprising over one-fiftt of the total operations. War shares and affiliated specialties were to 1t points higher at their best, but yield ed irregularly on profit taking. Rails in general were firm to strong except New Haven, which showed marked weakness, yielding l.: points on fairly large dealings. Tota | sales of stocks amounted to abou 300, 900 shares.
 Among the noteworthy railroad re. | turns was that of the Atchison sys' 1 tenn for March, disclosing a net in. crease of s1,159,o00.
 Bonds were firm, except the An glo-French issue, which changed 1 hands in large amounts at a sligh l concession. Total sales, par value | aggregated $4,240,O00.

New York, April 25.-The worlds champion Boston team retained the lead in the American league by de- feating New York in a ten inning game today, to 3. The hitting of Nunamaker, a former Boston player, kept New York in the game, as he hit two singles, a double and @ triple in four times up. After scoring both of New York's early runs, he drove in the tieing run with a three base hit in the ninth inning.
 Boston won, however, in the tenth inning when Henriksen opened with his third hit, took second on Janvrin's sacrifice, third on Hoopers out and scored the winning run on HoblitZells single. Hoblitzell also drove in two Boston runs in the sixth inning. Score:

been purchased from the Philadelphia National league team. Fish was with Manchester in the New England league last year, where his work came under the observation of scouts and he was given a trial by the Phillies. His batting average was .225 for 50 games and his work behind the bat gave him a percentage of .974- He stood eighth in the list of 16 catchers and was only topped. II points by Wal ter Ahearn. who stood second in the list.
 Fish is a trim looking athlete, young nyears and hard as nails. He has had the benefit of several weeks of training in the Florida camps and he has caught in some big league games, therefore he should be in condition to show in good form from the jump. Whitehouse, the star utility man of the squad, was informed last night that he is the father of twin boys, born Monday, and the proud little player is now sure that he will have an extra good season.
 McDoyIe in Disappearing Act.
 McDoyle, the pitcher signed on the | recommendation of Pat Moran, man. ager of the Phillies, left this city for | New York Saturday and up to Mon day night had not returned. Just now all the practice available before the opening game Friday, is needed, es- pecially by the pitchers, who claim their arms have not responded to the workouts in the cold weather so other members of the team are at a loss as | to his absence.
 l Dowd, the Providence second base man used in the exhibition game | against Toronto, was also among the ranks of the lost or strayed away. It was not known whether Manager Mo Cam let the lad go or not, but play CTS stated that he could not be found | in town last night.
 Rodriguez, the Cuban first baseman, has found a pal in Bud Wiser, the | clever left fielder. Rodriguez cannot
 speak English and Wiser cannot lan- guish the Cuban talk, but by a sort
