CONGRESS FACES UNPREcEDENT.
ED ESTIMATES TO MEET Ex.
PENDITURES FOR THE
YEAR 1916.
CALENDAR OVER-CROWDED
WITH new LEGISLATION
Railroad Reforms and High Cost Of
Living Are important New Issues
Speed Up Program Advocated
by Speaker Clark Likely to
Be Adopted.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Congress has
reconvened for three months ses-
sion with calendar over-crowded with
general legislation, facing railroad re-
forms and the high cost of living as
new issues and confronted with un-
precedented estimates aggregating
1864, 819,654 to meet expenditures of
the government for the fiscal year
1916.
Both houses adjourned early as
mark of respect to the late Senator
Clarke. Of Arkansas, and Resident
Commissioner Rivera of Porto Rico,
both of whom died since the Septem-
Der adjournment.
Presidents Message Heard.
There was a joint session in the
hall OF the House to hear the address
of President Wilson, which contained
recommendations for legislation
sought by the administration before
the sixty-fourth congress dies March
4. Railroad legislation to supplement
the Adamson act was urged by the
President as the most important prob
lem before the Congress at this time.
How to expedite their work is the
problem which the leaders Of the
House are endeavoring to solve and
frequent conferences for the purpose
of planning a program will be held.
To Curb Food Prices.
Besides railroad legislation, there
Is strong public demand for some leg
islative action to curb the soaring
prices of food And in addition to
appropriation measures which always
take time and must be passed, there
are other issues to be dealt with. The
Senate has the immigration BILL the
corrupt practices bill further to limit
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures, the Webb bill to grant author
fty to domestic corporations for main
tenauce of collective foreign selling
agencies, conservation and other
measures.
Then an investigation into expendi-
lures Of the recent national campaign
Is proposed and Senator Owen of Ok
lahoma will introduce a joint resolu-
ton directing that such an inquiry will
be instituted at once
Hasty conferences of House leaders
convinced a majority that a speed up
program advocated by Speaker Clark
will be adopted only with slight
changes at the most.

BATTLE BOYDMEN
Worlds Champion Lady Base
Ball Pitcher Feature in Novel
Contest in Morris

Manager j. B. Boyd of the indie
pendent ball team in this city is going
to give his men a chance to fight the
women who have invaded the base
ball world and are dividing the honors
which have been regarded the exclu-
sive property of masculine clouters.
He has signed up for game with the
All-American Girls base ball club,
of Chicago, which is touring the coun-
try and which has defeated some of
the best league teams in the east and
south. The game will be played on
the Morris fair grounds diamond We'd
nesday afternoon, Aug. 9. Some of
the local players have been up against
all kinds of base ball lay -outs but
have never played ball with uniformed
women. They are considerably puz-
zled to know what to do or how to
act, and they are blinking at the
prospects. Manager Boyd has or
dered that the diamond and field be
cleared of all snakes, mice and frogs,
in order that the fair battlers from
Chicago have an equal chance.
The All-American team which
cones to Morris has the distinction
of having Miss Elizabeth Pull,
worlds champion woman base ball
pitcher, with them. Miss Pull has
established a record in several games
when she pitched the full! nine in
nings and appeared in condition to go
several more. She is supported by
Miss May Fay, spit-ball artist. and
Miss Anna Mccain who is noted for
speed and curves. Miss Carrie Ma
ton, a first base woman who is known
to base ball fans, will pay in the
game. Some of the 9th ers on the
team known to fame are Harriet

boom and Bessie Bennett. The girls
have been touring the country and
are returning from the Pacific coast
where they CLAIM: to have won two
thirds of the games played.
The independents have been getting
reports concerning the girls and know
they are up against an usually fast
as we'll as novel aggregation. They
feel that to defeat the girls they will
have to Ego some" and they are pre-
pairing accordingly. The game will
be called about five o'clock p. m.
and an effort will be made to have
the stores close in order to let the
salespeople have a chance to enjoy the
game,

Want lights Dirnned

Many of the automobiles IN the city
are equipped with powerful lights and
some have added the "spot" light
to their machines which throws it's
rays all directions if necessary. The
lights are very powerful and the glare
at night is sufficient to blind drivers
of machines passing in the opposite
direction. Pedestrians, too, are often
confused by the light striking them
squarely in the face as they cross the
streets. 1t has been suggested that
these fights be dimmed for the safety
of auto drivers and the public in gen
eral as well.

of mules, team OF horses and 1, $50
pint bottles of beer were taken. All
the beer except one barrel, which will
be used for evidence, was destroyed.
At the time of the raid when both
drivers on the wagons were arrested,
the officers also captured Otto Sail
strom, fugitive on the charge of sell
ing liquor to Indians, who broke away
from the officers three weeks ago
while being taken to Bemidji. Sail
strom spent part of one day handcuffed
to tree while the officers attended
