BUDGET SYSTEM AND TARIFF
CHANGES AMONG RECON-
MENDATIoNs MADE
By A. B. Gilbert.

( -.a + =. = : "a = Z ~
WASHINGTON, G.. Probably the
most inconsistent message ever delivered
to congress is a fair Characteristic Of
the presidents advice to the session which
began on December 1.
Some of the politicians allege that
it was composed by members Of the
cabinet rather than by the president,
and the moons .sncy may reflect the
differing views ..abinet members.
It is also marked by generalities
which can be interpreted in many ways
and by few specific recommendations.
At first congress is told that unrest
is superficial matter to be remedied
by passing the peace treaty, doing
something to abate profiteering and
shutting up radicals Then there is a
magnificent passage which goes to the
very root Of the matter and showing
that fundamental changes are needed.
Urges Palmer Bill.
"a The freest discussion Of, our prob
lens is advised, and on the other hand
congress is urged to pass the vicious
Palmer substitute for the espionage
bill which would close the mouths Of
progressives as well as the voice Of
radical opinion.
Freer trade is Urged to bring about
better international conditions and at
I tie same time new protection plans
for several lines Of trade
Labor's right to strike is upheld and
also the plan Of denying the workers
the right to strike through court, In
functions.
The president refuses to say any
thing about the railroad issue or the
Mexican situation
Recommendations Made.
Among the things recommended by
the message are:
The budget system Of government
bookkeeping.
Changes in income and excess profit
taxation evidently looking toward re-
duction.
Tariff changes to conform to the
fact that the United States is the great
est capitalist in the world z
\ The Lane plan for putting soldiers
on the land and the providing OF en-
.ploynent service for the returned men.
Better regulation Of cold storage.
IS More democracy in industry
Passing Of peace treaty
III view Of the fact that the republicans
control congress the presidents mes
sage viii probably have little effect,
The Republicans in the senate threaten
to lay the peace treaty on the table and
take up domestic issues unless the
president offers some basis for compro
mise. He has not as vet receded from
his position Of take it o. leave which
he declared for fron the beginning.

|BABC0CK IN FAVOR
OF new CROSSING.
IA GHWAY MISSIONER
HEARS ARGUMENT FOR
ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
DELEGATIONS FROM COUNTIES
AND CITY AT HEARING
II IN ST. PAUL.

Z State Highway Commissioner Bah
lock is very much in favor Of the new
silver crossing at New Ulm as proposed
! by the road committee Of the New Ulm
Commercial club. His views were made
known by him at a meeting held last
Friday in ST. Paul and which was at
=, tended by delegations from Nieollet
County, Brown County and the City
{ of New Ulm.
Mr.. Babcock was very emphatic IN
/ his statement that the Minnesota river
/ crossing at New ,Ulm is one OF the most
4 important in the state Of Minnesota,
1 according to Judge l. M. Olsen, chair
:, man of the Commercial club committee.
, Mr.. Babcock realized the fact that
! at present it was in bad shape and agreed
with those advocating an improvement
that something should be done to elimi-
\ nate the obstacles which are caused by
every recurring flood to the traffic be
tween the counties Brown and Nicollet.
He assured those present at the meet
ing that his department would do all
D they could to get this crossing in such
Ss-~shape that it cam be used all year
round
Promises Federal Aid.
b So far as federal aid is concerned the
! State has money on hand now that can
be applied to the road leading to the
river bed in Nicollet county, he stated.
The proposition as made by the club
committee concerns itself solely with
this approach to the river crossing: But
there is certain limit to the appropria-
ton from. this source. Provision has
been by Congress that no more than
$4,000 from the federal funds will
be allowed for one mile Of road. This
sum may be obtained if the local author
tiles, either Of the county or municipal
ity are willing to pay the same amount.
State Aid.
| The representatives from Nicollet
| county made an application for special
4 state aid. In response to this request,
itM4. Babcock stated that he could not
make promise as to definite amount,
but he would see to it that some money
would be allowed from this source also.
In regard to the engineering question
which also was discussed at the meet
ing the question arose who should get
up the plans Mr.. Babcock stated
in answer to this that in his opinion
this work should be done by his de-
partment.
q Engineers to Make Survey
He agreed to Send one Of his engineers
ito New Ulm in week or ten days to
make the necessary survey. AS soon
as this is in his hands and the estimate
of the cost of, the Improvement made
he will be able to tell how much the
state and federal aid will be, he said.
Those present at the meeting with
the Highway commissioners were: three
members of thes Nicollet County Board;
Senator Benson and Representative
oscar OWdhSoh 4oi %. eCSi SiIlisc I'll
zen and Fred Behnke of the New Ulm
f,saN. Council; Herman PolkoW. and Hen
! ~ Meyer OF the Brown County Board,
and Judge l. M. Olsen and A. L. Book,
members of the Comm Club COM
mittee. They all expressed their salts
faction over the outcome Of the dis
cussion.

NEW BOILERS FOR MILL.

Bids for a new equipment to be placed
in the power plant at the Eagle Roller
mill were opened during the course Of
the week The plans call for the re-
placement Of the present eight boilers
by three 4OO-horse power upright boil
ers. The improvement will cause an
outlay Of between $4,000 and $50, 900.
1t will necessitate the Tightening Of the
building by some fifteen feet. The
contracts for the work were not yet
awarded when going to press.
( Alteration work isgoing on in the old
Schmucker brewery building. It is ex-
.pected that the transform alton of the
plant into an ideal centralizing station
for milk and cream will be con- pleted
shortly after the first Of the new year.

PLEASURE BOAT
SETSFAST PACE
in SPEED Event
MOnOpIane Type Of Water Graft
With Room For Eight People
Makes As Miles per Hour.

Worlds records for express
cruisers and open boats were set
by the two boats owned by Gar"
Wood of Detroit, who gained fame
in 1917 and 1918 by driving the
gold cup winners, and speed here
tofore hardly thought possible for
boats of this type was made in
actual competition at the Inter
Lake Yacht association regatta IN
der American Powerboat associa-
ton rules.
Powerboat enthusiasts had been
informed of the great speed pos
sessed by these craft in three trial
runs but only a privileged few had
been given the opportunity to see
ly developed and besides, the trials
were not official.
Now all doubts have been remov-
ed by the wonderful work of the
two craft at the inter lake regatta,
Putin Bay, the week of July IA.
The Gar Jr., which is a new design
in the cruiser class, called a non
sinkable sedan cruiser, set a mark
VI O0-tO n4llCS al uOuI III the llLidl
race without being pressed by other
contestants. The boat is a 35
footer with foot beam, cabin for
ward and weather protection aft
and has sleeping Accommodations
for six aboard with conveniences
for cooking.
The monoplane type is a 26 footer
which can carry eight passengers
comfortably and has shown Sc
miles an hour in the final 20 mile
heat of the l. L. Y. A series after
slipping the mark of the Hoosier
", set during the Miami regatta
last spring. Both boats were built
by the C. G. Smith Boat and En-
CINE company, holders Of speedboat
championships for the past eight
years.
Wood expects to race the mono
plane in the gold cup race in De-
troit Aug. 80 and Sept. 1 and 2, and
her speed is such that there is
splendid chance for her to win the
gold cup. The express cruiser Gar
Jr. will be raced in the cruiser
races under the auspices of the
Cleveland yacht club in August and
in the new trophy cruiser event
at the gold cup regatta.

REPORT CURRENT
COOMBS WANTS TO
BECOME MAGNATE

Jack Coombs, who recently re-
tired from baseball after brief
and very unsatisfactory fling as
manager of the Philadelphia club,
may return to the game as a mag
nate. From the Quaker City comes
a well founded report that Colby
Jack has 100000 of his own to
invest in the National league club
in that city, and that he may head
a syndicate to buy the franchise
under which William F. Baker is
now operating.
Coombs first made it known that
he sought to obtain a financial in
terest in the club Immediately after
he was deposed by Baker to make
room for Gavvy Cravath. He told
a number of his friends that not
only would he put 100000, into the
club, but that amount to get play
ers who would strengthen the Phil
lies and make them pennant con-
tenders. At the time little heed
was paid to Coombs' remarks, but
a day or two later Baker was ap-
preached by a person who said he
represented a syndicate that was
willing to pay $350,0O0 for the con-
trolling interest in the club, and
the fact that Coombs had set that
figure as the value of the club at
this time led many to believe that
it was he who inspired this offer
There are 5000 shares of stock
in the club outstanding at present,
the par value of a share being
500. In view of the fact that the
club is badly shot to pieces in
baseball sense at this time Coombs
declared that a share is worth only
$50 in his opinion and that $780,
900 was a very fair price for the
club.
Baker admitted that he had re-
ceived an offer from a syndicate,
but intimated that he had spruned
it. Furthermore, he does not seem
to think that Coombs is a member
of the clique which opened negoti-
atoms with him.

CUBS FIND GOING
ON TRAIN ROUGH

Cleveland, O., July 25.-Compe1l-
ed by Barney Dreyfuss' curious
schedule to cross five of the United
States in one jump, Chicago's Cubs
spent a tedious but busy day yes
terday trying to get from Brooklyn
to St. Louis in time to play the
Cards today.
The only way the administration
would handle the haul was by a
route that called for three connec-
tions. The Cubs made the first one
at Albany all right, but were held
up by a freight wreck that tore up
three of the famous four tracks
west of Syracuse.
That caused them to miss their
train out of Buffalo, but the kindly
trainmaster sent the Mitchell war
riors along on a fast mail and wired
the folks in Cleveland to hold the
train for st. Louis until the special
Cub sleeper could be annexed to it.
The combination made the trip
wearisome for all except Secretary
Seys, who was kept busy chasing
railroad officials and making sure
the Cubs uniform trunks get to st.
Louis on time. Where the rest of the
party's personal baggage will cacch
uD nobody knows.

DAVE ROBERTSON rs
SIGNED UP BY CUBS

Chicago, July 25.-Dave Robert
son, who shook the dust of baseball
off his heels after the worlds series
between the White Sox and Giants
in 1917, now is a full-hedged mem
Der of Mitchell's Cub troupe. Fol-
lowing several days of dickering,
the one time star of the Giant out
field yesterday signed a two year
contract with the local team. This
took place at Norfolk, Va, where
President Bill Veeck of the Bruins
went for just such a purpose.
The signing of Robertson clinched
a deal with the Giants whereby
Phil Douglas goes to the league
leaders. This swap was arranged
several days ago, but was condi-
tional in view of the fact that Rob
ertson has shown considerable in
dependence about where he plays
ball. His acceptance of Cub terms
was all that was needed, and after
obtaining the desired signatures
Veeck hustled back to New York,
informed McGraw of his success,
and the deal then was officially
completed.

IN SECOND DAY
st. Louis Player Turns In Score Of
20 at Western Amateur Open
Championship Play.

Cleveland. Ohio, July 25-PfHy-
ing a superlative round Of 70, with
in one stroke of his course record
of the previous day, Jim Barnes Of
Sunset Hill, St. Louis, again topped
the field in the race for the west
ern open championship Of the May
field Country club yesterday. The
long Cornishman was given an
added incentive to make a low
score, as T. B. Wadley, the Tex
arkana amateur, promised to pay
his expenses to the Canadian open
championship if he shot 20 or bet
ter.
Barnes, with a total Of 13s, has
a four stroke lead over Walter
Hagen, national and metropolitan
champion, who reported with a
finely played 70. 1t looks as If the
80 hole struggle today will be a
title duel between these veteran
campaigners. and it seems hardly
possible they can maintain the
pace of the first two rounds.
Fred Mcleod the North Berwick
Scotchman, from Chevy Chase, who
had a card of "A, tied for third
place with Leo Diegel, the Michi-
gan open champion, who also had
"A, their total being 145. Bob Mac
Donald Of the new Evanston Golf
club was in his best mood, and a
round Of II elevated him to a tie
for fifth place with Otto Hack
barth OF Cincinnati at 146.
MacDonald's play up to the green
was superb, and coming home he
set a new mark of 80 for the IN
coming nine On the home green
he had a 10 inch putt for a 70, but
played 1t carelessly and missed.
His mark of 80 for the last nine
was tied later by Harry Hampton,
the Scotch professional at Hamp-
ton, the Scotch professional at
Richmond, Va, who formerly was
located at Long Island.
]. Douglas Edgar Of Atlanta, who
holds the French open champion
ship, was another stellar perform
er. his round of II being fine eX-
hibition OF sound golf.

CICOTTE TWIRLS
SOX TO 10 Win
OVER ST. LOUIS
Game Il a Pitchers Battle Between
Opponents Of Shine Ban and
the Skin Ball

Chicago, July 25.-Did you ever
hear Of the Skin ball7" Well, that
was what Allan Sothoron was fling
ing at the White Sox at Comiskey
park yesterday and that was why
it took Eddie Cicotte 10 innings
with his celebrated "shine ball" to
defeat st. Louis, to 0, in one Of
the prettiest pitchers battles OF
the season.
The Skin BAH" Is very similar
to the shine ball." 80 far as can
be learned in the fact that they
are exactly opposite. The former
is supposed to be prepared for
deadly action by peelins q bit OF
the hide of the ball with ones
finger nail while one is bluffing at
fixing the ball for a spitball de-
livery. The "shine ball" is sup
posed to be prepared for action by
filing the seams OF the ball with
parafin while one Is blufing at
throwing the spitball.
II all those thsories are true, Ci-
cote and Sothoron were combating
each other during the ball game
with bluf, for they are blufing
more than half Of the time when
they are supposed to be throwing
the deadly splitter or the unhitta-
BILE shine ball. This blufting went
along until the tenth round when
Cicotte, first mp, called the bluff
by swinging at one OF those sup
posed Skin bali" filings Of Mr..
Sothoron. It wasn't Skin ball"
fling at all. Instead 1t was a SIM
pie fast ball which Mr.. 5othoron
was trying to sneak over on Mr..
Cicotte for q strike, but Cicotte
being q wise fellow on this freak
stuff took a guess that this was no
freak and swatted It for a single
to center field.
Memo Liebold followed this with
= hunt down third base way that
caused Cicotte to be forced at sec
ond base, but when Gerber made
q wide heave to first Liebold got
to second. Memo was trying to put
Cicotte on second with his poke,
but as It turned out, Cicotte was
out and Liebold, fast base rum
ner, was on the middle bag.
In this pinch Eddie Collins wasn't
given anything he could hit, so he
walked to first base; then Weaver
bounded one to Sisler that was
turned into an out only because
the clever Mr.. Sisler was playing
at first base. This moved Liebold
to third and Eddie Collins to second
and Joe Jackson was the next hit
ter. Joe was purposely passed as
every one expected he would be,
and it was up to Hap Felsch to do
something. Felsch didn't wait even
to look 'em over. He just took a
healthy clout at the first pitched
ball and knocked it out for base
hit that sent Liebold home with the
one run Of the game and the only
