CONGRESS NOT TO CHANGE LAW
Will Not Be Asked to Alter Regula-
tions for Carving Infammables.

Congress will not be asked to change
the law regulating the transportation
of infiammable commodities. This was
decided upon at conference here be-
tween Secretary Redfield and other Of
ficials of the Department of Commerce
which grew out Of the burning of the
steamer Congress on the Pacific coast
several months ago.
Ofiicial reports in the case of the
Congress showed that the fire was due
to quantity of sheathing tin between
which cans Of paint, soaked with BEN
zine. had been stored. Secretary Red
field proposes that attention shall be
called to the danger of storing excelsior
shipments in the lower holds of ves-
sells. The facts established In the case
Of the Congress will be published later
for the Information Of navigation ia
terests.

Colored Men Are Arrested.

SOlOIeQ ASu are AITSSICQ.
The fact that they think the crimes
were committed by colored man is
shown in ten arrests of colored sus-
poets. Two colored men have been ar
rested. but in neither case were the
detectives able to show any connec-
ton with the hold-ups.
Inspector Grant this morning told a
reporter for The Star that his men are
up against serious proposition in the
case of Mrs Scherer and the colored do
mestic. The absence of definite infor-
nation as to the color of the robbers.
he stated, is serious handicap to
them. and if the robbers are appre-
hended it will be difficult matter to
fasten the crimes on them unless the
detectives are able to force a confession
or recover some of the stolen property.
Policemen and detectives are under
special orders to exert themselves in
the robbers. Mai Pullman going so far
as to suggest certain methods that
should be employed to get Information.

Kid Gleason Pulls
Deep Stuff on Hugh

Kid Gleason, formerly assistant
manager and general factotum OF the
White Sox, is noted for the sharp
ness of his repartee on the ball field.
Manager Jennings Of the Detroit II
gers had occasion to feel the sting OF
Gleason's tongue just before the vet
cran left the Chicago club. Jennings,
it must be remembered, has been in
volved in two serious accidents, each
of which nearly terminated his career.
First he dived into the swimming
pool at Cornell when there was no
water in it, breaking bones innumera-
Bile and having to stay in bed for
weeks while the doctors patched him
up. Later he drove his automobile
off a bridge near Scranton and hurt
himself so badly that he was in hos
pital for a couple OF months. Glea-
son, of course, knew all about these
two accidents and when the time
came he reminded Jennings OF them
in a way more pointed than polite.
The Detroit manager was coach
ing one afternoon and had taken oc-
casion to make a number of extreme
" personal remarks to the Chicago
pitcher, He plainly was getting
the sIabmans goat" and Gleason was
quick to come to the rescue,
