ROUTINE WORK W LL TAKE ATTENTION
Election of Director and I'resldeat
the Chief Dnnlnna to Come
Itefore the l.eaffoe at
Thla Session.
All roads within the Western Base Pall
lfas i" l.'.rHory and iiot a few outside will
lend to tlia Gato City on Thursday, when
the iinni.il meeting; of the Western lcafrje
will bo held. The sessions will be at the
Pcxton hotel, and It Is believed the delib
eration will be concluded Thursday even
ing, although the magnates may not be as
expeditious as some of the wise onei
think, and, again, matters not now on the
tapis might be brought "V and thus cause
the captains of the national game to tarry
over until Krlday or Saturday. Suffice It
to say the mcefinff will be one of Im
portance. Those who are expected to be here Thurs
day are the Brothers C'antlllon, Joseph and
M. E., who own nearly ull of the Lies
Moines franchise. Joseph being also man
ager of the Milwaukee team; George Te
beau and 11. K. Burke. Joint owners of the
Denver club; W. F. Imncan and Mr.
Graves, two of the owners of the Sioux
City team; Tommy Burns, who has a few
shekel Invested In the Colorado Springs
team; Percy Chamberlain, the moving spirit
In the base ball world at St. Joseph;
Tapu" Hill Kourke, the popular manager
of the Omaha pennant winners, President
W. II. fVxton of the Western league, the
"little boy" who sat on the' Vinton street
fence last season and helped to win the
flag for the Rangers, and others yet to
be heard from. Each team la allowed one
vote at the annual meeting, but may have
two representatives in .the, deliberations.
Candidates for the Presidency.
Probably the most Important part of the
work before the meeting on Thursday will
1k the election of a president for the
Western league. One and all realize the
Importance of electing good timber for this
responsible position. At present writing
there are about as many names in the
presidential field as there are teama in
thn league.
Taking the entries one by one, there Is
Tip O'Nell, for Instance. Some call him
Norrls ONell of Oakland. Cal. He is said
to be groomed by Joe Cantillon and may
receive the support of Tcbeau and Burns,
who, according to one report from the
front, have cancelled their entry of OUo
Kioto as a presidential candidate. Be that
as It may, Mr. Kioto, who writes the sports
for the Denver Post, is said to be in the
running. Coming right home, there is
"Sandy" Grlswold, who has the avowed
support of Mr. Rourke and a few others.
Doc Shively, president of the Western as
sociation; W. W. Sears, formerly secretary
of the Des Moines club, and Mr. Norton,
president of the Iowa league, are the other
possibilities.
Circuit Will Mot Be Chsncrd.
It is the consensus of opinion that the
league will remain the same as last year
so far as the teams are concerned. The at
mosphere at St. Joseph and Sioux City has
been clarified and taking Into further con
sideration the expiration of the league con
tract with the close of next season, It is
considered inadvisable to change the teams
for the season of 19o5. There are now five
towns knocking for admission to the league,
but judging from present Indications none
of these will be acted on at the coming
meeting. ,
Manager Rourke is In favor of 160 games
In the 1M days of the playing season, the
same as last season, and that the season
run from April 26 until September 25.
At the coming session of the league there
will be the regular routine reports from
committees, possibly changes In the con
stitution, a 1905 schedule committee ap
pointed and business of a miscellaneous
character transacted.
The schedule will be approved at the
spring meeting to be held some time In
March. One of the duties Incumbent on the
league members next Thursday will be to
ofilclally notify Manager Rourke that the
Omaha team won the pennant last season.
While, as a matter of fact, It will not be
news to Mr. Rourke, ho will rise to his
feet and say a few words and look pleased.
It Is noteworthy that there was not one
suspended player In the league last season,
which will relieve the league members from
acting on that part of the order of busi
ness. NATIONAL BASE HAM, COMMISSION
Minor Uskifi Finally Air roe to Ac.
ceiit the Dl' puled Kind I nun.
CINCINNATI. Jan. SJ.-At a long session
of the National Base Ball commission to
day various pending differences with the
National association ami the organization
of the minor leagues were Mettled, making
possible the settlement of other points
of difference which had Iwen discussed but
never yet brought regularly before the
commission. The serious illness of Pres
ident Pulllam of the National league lor
n time threatened to compel a postpone
ment of the meeting for an indefinite pe
riod, and then, when all had agreed to
accept his proxy, us presented by Chair
man Herrmann, the failure of the National
association to acquiesce in four derisions

I clubs seemed about to head off any action
ty tne commission on matters or interest
to the minors.
Chairman Herrmann presented his report
when the meeting was called to order.
During the sixteen months covered by
the report 110 cases had been adjudicated,
all but four of which had been accepted
by the parties interested, and eight case
ere Hiiil pending.
it whsi announced that any demands that
were to be presented by the National as
sorlati' n would not be heard until that as
sociation had first agreed to the decision
of the commission In the four cases which
have not heretofore been acquiesced In.
One of these, the claim of Player David D.
p.r.iin ngilnst the Buffalo club, the Na
tional -isso lation asked and was granted
a rehearing. In the following cases rulings
of tie? commission were accepted:
'Application of the Chicago American
league club to strike the names of cer
tain players1 from National association
bulletins; the claim of trie St. Louis Na
tional league c!ub against Providence club
on a "count or Player loses, ami tne con
tention of the Cleveland American league
club relative to the names of certain play
ers carried on reserve lists of national as
sociation clubs."
Two decisions ware announced during
tbe afternoon. Catcher Sullivan was
awarded to Detroit and Jones to Wash
ington. In the Koach case, affecting that
player's connection with the Butte, Mont.,
club, the minors finally today acqui
esced In the decision of the National com
mission that the player had signed a non
reserve contract and therefore was sub
ject to draft.

OMNIBUS CLAIMS BILL PASSED
Seoat ApproTdg tha Mtaatire Which Gar
net Nearly Threa Millian Btllara.
INAUGURAL BALL IN PENSION BUILDING
llonae Finally Votes to Allow l of
That Structure After an Arrl
moaiona Debate Nomina
nations Continued.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9 After the pas
sage of the omnibus claims bill and a few
minor measures and fixing January 28 for
the delivery of addresses in memory of th
late Senator Hoar, the senate devcted the
day to the statehood bill. Mr. Morgan
spoke for two hours against the bill.
When the senate convened Mr. Mallory
presented the minority report of the Mer
chant Marine commission. It was referred
to the committee on commerce. A resolu
tion was paseed providing for the printing,
of 6,000 copies of the proceedings of hear
ings had before the commission, and the
same number of copies of the minority re
port. The omntbus claims bill wa then consid
ered.' Several committee amendments were
adopted and the bill was passed. It carries
direct appropriations amounting to about
12.800,000.
Other bills were passed as follows:
Authorizing the secretary of the inte
rior to acquire for the government by ex
changes of public lands the ownership of
the private lands within certain public
parks in the slate of California; for the
relief of wandering American born Indians
of Rocky Boy's band, Montana.
At 2 p. m. the statehood bill was lala
brfore the senate and Mr. Morgan spoke In
opposition to the bill.
Mr. Morgan spoke particularly of the
character of the population of New Mexico
and Indian territory. He declared that
the frnmers of the constitution were of
the white race and that it was not the
Intention that Mexicans, Indians, negroes
and aalfbrceds should be brought Into citi
zenship. He said that If Arizona and New
Mexico were admitted Into the union this
class of citizenship would control the elec
tions and said bribes and whisky might
control them.
At 4:05 p. m. the senate went Into exec
utive session and at 4:23 adjourned.
PROCEEDINGS
OF
THE
HOUSE
Use of Pension Itulldlnar Granted for
the Inaas;nral Ball.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The house today
adopted the senate resolution providing.
among other things, for the holding of the
Inaugural ball in the pension building. On
a viva voce vote the provision was lost,
but a roll call enabled those favorable to
the pension building proposition to muster
their strength and pass It. Speaker Cannon
and several of the republican leaders re
corded themselves as opposed to the idea of
the employment of the pension building for
the purposo of the Inaugural ball.
When the house convened today Mr. Van
Voorhls (O.) from the committee on appro
priations reported the pension appropria
tion bill. At the same time Mr. Underwood
(Ala.) submitted the views of the minority
in reference to It. ,
The house then went into committee of
the whole for consideration of measures re
lating to the District of Columbia. For the
third time during the session the resolu
tion granting temporary occupancy of a
portion of the monument lot lor an Ameri
can railway appliance exhibition In connec
tion with the meeting of the International
Railway congress to be held In this city
was callod up. Favorable action on It pre
viously was prevented by the opposition of
Mr. Mann (111.) Today the resolution was
passed In spite of Mr. Mann's objection.
The attention of the house was then
directed again to the resolution providing
for the Inaugural ceremonies. Opposition
again developed to the proposition to
hold the inaugural ball in the pension
office.
Mr. Cowherd (Mo.) criticised the peo
ple of Washington for lack of civic pride
and enough energy to build a hall where
such functions could be held, but said It
was hardly the proper thing for the dem
ocrats at this time to express too pro
nounced views on the subject of where
the ball should be held, that question be
ing "up to the republicans."
"Does not the gentleman think it up to
him?" interjected Mr. McCall (Mass.) to
see that the public Is not Invited into a
fire tr:i?"
Mr. Baker (N. Y.) said It was a pre
posterous proposition for the republicans,
"who say they are the soldiers' friend,"
to delay action on their pension clnimu by
giving up the pension building for a week
or ten days. The city of Washington, he
said, ought to commend Itself to the
czar of Russia, because It was where
autocracy ruled. The beneficiaries of gov
ernment improvements in Washington
were not the people of of the city, "but
those who own the land values which you
(facing the republican Bide) are mnking
by your constant presents of money."
He intimated that some of those bene
ficiaries are members of loth houses of
congress.
Declaring it would be discourteous to the
president of the I'nited States now to shut
the door In his face after all arrangements
had been made for the presence of all the
governors of all the states and their wives
and the various organizations which would
participate In the inauguration Mr. Gaines
(Tex.) said he favored the pension building
this time, but gave notice that never again
would , he vote for the proposition. Mr.
Gaines said he favored the measure be
cause the president was trying to do right
"and give teeth to our Interstate commerce
commission that will haul up the railroads
that have been robbing the American peo
ple." He said he was "with" the president
and did not care how long the teeth were
that were put Into the law. He commended
the president also for "trying to unhorse
the trusts."
Referring to the White House conference
on Saturday last Mr. Gaines said the presi
dent might have called in a few more and
asked them "if it was not right to tear
down the robber tariff."
The resolution was read for amendment,
among those adopted being one by Mr. Wil
liams (Miss.), requiring the inaugural cord
mlttee to give bond to restore to Its former
condition any public building or reserva
tion used for Inaugural purposes. By ayes,
64; noes, 40, the resolution was laid aside
with a' recommendation that it pass, but
when put on Its passage In the house It
once more had to run the gauntlet of criti
cism. Mr. Charles B. Landls (Ind.) called
attention to the danger of destruction by
fire of the records of the pension office and
had read a letter from the secretary of the
Interior on that subject. Mr. Landls de
clared that the secretary's letter, in which
it was recited that at the last ball, three
fires broke out In the building, should serve
as a warning. The house, on a rising vote,
refused to pass the resolution, but recon
sidered, when the yeas and nays were
called, passing the resolution finally by 136
to 90. Political lines were not drawn In the
voting.
Several measures of a atrictly local char
acter were passed.
Resolutions were passed calling on the
secretary of commerce and lubor to In
struct the director of the census to furnlfli
to the house certain reports on which ths
census bureau based its recent cotton
glnnliifj reports, and authorizing the admis
sion aa cadets at Wast Point ef Leuls
1 i
Bogran of Honduras and Frutos Tomas
Plaza of Ecuador.
A bill was .passed providing for the con
struction and maintenance of roada, the
establishment of schools and the support of
insane persons In Alaska.
At 4:23 p. m. the house adjourned until
tomorrow.
PRIVATE CAR I.1SE MOSOPOI-T
Merrbant Tells of Effect of Armonr
Company Aareemeat.
WASHINGTON. Jan. . The Interstate
Commerce commission of the house today
continued Its hearings on bills to further
restrict the carriers.
George F. Mead, a member of the Na
tional League of Commission Merchants
cf Boston and also of the Boston Fruit
Growers' exchange, took the stand and
complained of what he said the Inroads
made into his business by the so-called
private car lines. These lines, he said,
have grown to such an extent that the
car line company known as Armour &
Co. practically controlled the price of per-
Ishable food commodities in this country.
I No line of business, he declared, perhaps
I suffered so much "from the execution of
the abuse of private car lines' aa did
'hat which he represented. He added that
Armour & Co. were operating without
license, and he said he could not see why
they had "the right to prey upon our
business and hold us up by the throat
and demand whatever they sea fit."
The private car pirates, he said, can
break men, firms and even states by their
traffics rates.
A general discussion followed regarding
the powers Invested In the Interstate Com
merce commission to fix rates by the
Cooper-Qunrles bill. Replying to a ques
tion, Mr. Mead said that on account of
freight rates business interests of the
country were not only on the point of
ruin, but that very many business houses
had been ruined.
Asked by Mr. Loverlng if the railroads
would welcome n change regarding con
tracts for refrigerating cars, Mr. Mead re
plied thnt he believed they would, as
thereby they would be freed from the
domination of Armour & Co., who, he
said, held over the railroads the threat
to destroy their business.
"They Heeded protection against high
waymen that hold them up," interjected
Mr. Anderson of Georgia, the witness re
plying that Armour & Co. used their
monster business as a threat to force ex
clusive contracts. Mr. Mead declnred there
were many refrigerating car companies
with cars "that could do work the Ar
mour car could not do," and yet, he said,
"the shippers of peaches and fruit from
Georgia could not use those cars becauso
Armour & Co, had the exclusive con
tract." M'RMXGTOX ROAD WINS THE CASE
Stock Yards Company Cannot Recover
Money Paid Injured Employe.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9. The case of the
Union Stock Yards company of Omaha,
against the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railway company was today decided by
the supreme court of the United States
favorable to the railroad company.
The case was a claim for Indemnity grow
ing out of dumages to n. brakemnn on the
Terminal road owned by the Stock Yards
company. The brakeman was Injured when
engaged on a car secured from the rail
road company and which It was shown hnd
not been inspected by either the Burlington
company or the Terminal company. The
brakeman brought, sult against the Ter
minal company and recovered 110,000. This
sum was paid arid the stock yards associa
tion sought to rronver from the owners of
the car. The coujrt held, however, that the
negligence of th' owner did not excuse
that of the user and refused to give the
relief sought. The opinion was by Justice
Day.
INIDIAX APPROPRIATION BIIX READY
It Carries Abont Two Million Dollars
I.cbh Than Last Year.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The house com
mittee on Indian affairs today completed
the Indian appropriation bill. It carries
a total of $7,244,206. The appropriation for
the current year Is $9,878,480. The princi
pal item of decrease in the bill Is that
required by treaty stipulations, the re
duction being $2,000,000. The Item of mis
cellaneous expenses is about $1,000,000 less

tain Indians, which Is not required during

tleman." Supreme Justices Confirmed.
The last fight was waged today In the
senate, when Luther M. Goddard of Den
ver and George XV. Bailey of Fort Col
lins, who were nominated by Governor
Peabody for the supreme bench, were con
firmed after a hard fight.
The two "Wolcott republican" senators,
Campbell and De Long, who on Saturday
had voted with the democrats, came In
with tho regulars late In the morning, and
two democratic senators, Bnlllnger and
Hill, also came over. Both democrats
voted for Bailey, making the totals on his
confirmation 21 to 13. Ballinger remained
with the republicans when Goddard's name
came up ngain, and the vote then was
20 to 14. The democrats claim that. In
asmuch as the two appointments are not
effective until April. Governor Peabody
had no legal right to namo them, but
should have allowed Governor Adams to
select them. An effort will probably be
made at some later time to induce Gov
ernor Adams to appoint two men In place
of Goddard and Bailey. The appointments
confirmed today will make the political
complexion of the court seven republicans ,
and two democrats.
The Inauguration of Governor Adams '
tomorrow will be In the simplest manner.
There will, by the request of the governor
elect, be no military display, and it Is
believed that the. entire ceremony will last
but a few minutes.'
