NOTES

4NO4AO
Eddie Plank says he may keep right
on pitching until he is fifty years old.
Neither is George Sisler hitting as
he was booked before the season be-
gan.
With Hank Gowdy gone to be SOL
dier, the Braves will be weaker than
ever.
Art FrOmme, after being out for a
month, looks like a winning pitcher
again.
In st. Louis they still refer to the
Cardinals as prospective pennant
winners"
To make room for Stuny Stewart
the Denver club gave Tom Stanley
his release.
Jack Murray, lately a Giant, is play
ing with an independent team In Pat
tersOn, N. J.
Jack CoOmbs, Brooklyn pitcher, has
beaten the New York Giants IL times
In succession
Wilbur Davis, pitcher-Outfelder,
sent to Memphis, is only loan to help
out crippled team.
In Walter Johnson another of the
great ones may pass along without the
glory Of wOrld-series game.
Hans Wagner, a Pittsburgh institu-
ton, is the only ball player owning
stock in major league club.
The great pitching of Carmen Hill
has been a leading factor in the ad-
vance of the Birmingham Barons.
Cleveland is accusing Walter John
son of using the "shine ball." Cleve-
land always has to find an excuse for
losing.
If the Senators could get up another
notch, it might be well to publish the
likeness of Walter Johnson under the |
same heading.
Billy Rafter, the Syracuse university
player released by the New York
Yankees to Utica, is the son of the
Old-time catcher.
Umpire Gentle has been released by
the Southern league. How could a guy
with that kind of a name expect to get
by as an umpire?
Quite load has been lifted from the
minds of American leaguers. The Red
Sox have failed to make a runaway
race for the pennant.
=
Joe Dugan, the Holy Cross man, who
is filling in at short for the Athletics,
has been playing excellent ball since
he joined the tailenders.
Jack FOurnier, the former flrst-sack-
er Of the Sox, who is now with the
Los Angeles team, predicts that his
former mates will win the flag.
Judging from the way Little Dick
Kerr is pitching for the Milwaukee
Brewers, he might be of some help to
the st. Louis Browns these days.
Jack Lellvelt has been doing some
hitting for the Kansas
City team, but he is so slow that in
] pinch runner Is sent in for him.
Ty Cobb is hitting again in his old
,orm. From now until next October it
will be Cobb's great ambition to out
,at Iris Speaker every day he plays.
The wonderful record made by Eddie
Collins for playing in consecutive
games is one reason why the White
Sox are out In front in the fast race.
Roger Bresnahan's "Iron Men"
nave justified their name and sunk to !
he bottom. Iron men are all right

STRIKE PROBE SCOPE
OUTLINED BY SENATOR
Opposing Counsel Discuss Investigation
with Senator Pittman.

Counsel for the striking car men
and the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company met Senator Key Pitt
man, of Nevada, yesterday and out
lined the scope of the investigation
which the special committee of the
Senate will conduct at the hearings
beginning at 10 o'clock this morning.
James H Vahey and NJ F. Mangana
represented the Amalgamated Associa-
tion, and John S. Barbour, George p.
Hoover, and Brainard H. Warner, jr.,
represented the company.
The committee suggested certain
points in dispute on which they would
like to hear evidence of both sides
at length.
These include the matter of collect
i've bargaining, the open shop and the
various agreements between the men
and the company.
1t was explained. however, by Sem
ator Pittman, who is acting chairman
of the committee, that there was no
disposition to curtail either side in
the presentation of witnesses on other
matters.
District Commissioners Newman and
Brownlow will be the first witnesses
called by the union this morning.

GOVERNMENT employees
URGE RETIREMENT LAW
Federal Union. with 10000 Members.
Will Back Wadsworth-Dale Bill.

Retirement legislation for government
employees before the adjournment Of the
present session OF Congress is the goal
for which the Federal Employees Union
Is now striving.
H. NJ. McLarin, president Of the union,
which now numbers close to 1000 mem
bers' has urged all government employees
afiliated and unafiliated with organized
labor, to throw their support behind the
wadsworth-Dale retirement bill for Fed
eraI workers.
The Wadsworth-Dale retirement law,
which the employees support, provides for
compulsory retirement at 70 years OF age,
and voluntary retirement at IS years:
retirement for disability after fifteen
years OF service; annuities not to exceed
5000 per annum and graduated. on the
number of years in the service and aver
age salary for the preceding ten years;
deductions OF 2 per cent per annum from
salaries to create retirement fund; ad-
ninistration of retirement law in the
hands Of government departments keep
ing cost Of administration at a minimum
and the payment OF annuities monthly.
On the basis of the present force OF
employees it is asserted that at the end
Of five years 1O.15O annuities will cost
S, ,255, 900 and that the available surplus
and contributions from employees In that
period will figure s.. $4,000 leaving sur
plus of $675,0O0

FUNDS COME In SLOWLY
TO ENTERTAIN VETERANS

With 5000 still needed to meet the
amount required to carry out the plans
for the Confederate Veterans Reunion
which opens here June 4. the committee
headed by H. F. Cary is employing every
energy in a campaign for funds by cor
respondence and personal solicitation.
Fifty dollars was contributed by Joseph
Bradley Tuesday. but the committee has
not succeeded in materially boosting sub
scription to the fund. Large contribu-
tions will have to be made within the
next few weeks, as the $4,000 already
subscribed falls far short OF actual ex-
penses.
Milton f. Allies. vice chairman of the
public comfort committee, intimated that
in dealing with the crowd OF visitors who
would swarm into Washington reunion
week. the Home Guard probably would
be asked to cooperate with the commit
tee.

DRAFT CONFEREES
Still HAGGLE POINTS
Senate and House Insist Upon Points
Demanded in Differences.

The conferees on the conscription bill
haggled throughout yesterday over their
numerous differences without coming to
any conclusion or without indicating
either on the part of the representatives
of the Senate or the House the slightest
likelihood OF any agreement.
The points in controversy are the same
as heretofore. The Senate is holding out
for its provision for the enlistment Of an
overseas force of four army divisions OF
volunteers in addition to the army of
10000 to be recruited by conscription.
The. Senate also is holding out that its
maximum age limitation Of q years is the
more scientihc and the more desirable In
every way than the House provision for
a maximum of 20 years.
On the question Of the four volunteer
divisions the House conferees are thus
far even unwilling to compromise
Meanwhile, within the House itself
there is certain amount of shifting on
the point of the Senate's proposed volun-
teer force.

The Enemy of Uric
Acid Is Anuric
(By L. H. SMITH, NJ. D.

In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part of the human ma
chine is liable to become out of order
The most important organs are the
stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers, and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood Their sig
nails of distress are easily recognized
and include such symptoms as back
ache, depressions, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
twinges, dropsy, gout.
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty of pure water and obtain
small amount of Anuric, which is
dispensed by most every druggist
Anuric (double strength) is mex
pensive and should be taken before
meals. 1t is much more potent than
lithia and many find that Anuric dis
solves uric acid as water does sugar
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa-
slonally. The kidneys are an elimina-
tive organ and are constantly working,
separating the poisons from the blood
Under this continual and perpetual ac-
ton they are apt to congest, and then
trouble starts. Uric acid backs up into
the system. causing rheumatism, neu-
ralgla, dropsy, and many other serious
disturbances. 1t means that you are a
victim to uric acid poisoning. Then
ask your druggist for Anuric, which
was first discovered by DR.. Pierce, of
the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, and
which. is dispensed by nearly every
drugglst in the land.-Adv.
