Then fob lowed shadow boxing, rope Skipping and bag punching for an hour and a half. '' Jeffries explained that his prolonged ses sion with the chest weights was to limber up his neck and shoulder muscles to avoid any future attack of the cramp which suddenly stopped him Friday In the-mlddle of a boxing bout with Bob Armstrong;.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-U looks, after all, as If the house will, beat the senate In passing the administration railroad bill, notwithstanding the faot that the latter had a start of two pr three weeks In tak ing up the measure. About the only advantage in this priority Is found in the fact that the new law for the control of - transportation lines, while prepared almost entirely by Attorney Gen eral Wlckersham, will bear the name of Representative Mann of Illinois Instead of Senator Elklcs of West Virginia- Preparations have been made In the house for the early closing of debate on the measure, Mr, , Mann yesterday secured the adoption of a motion by. which night sessions, may be held tomorrow .and TUP- day. It Js expected,, that by next Thurs day general debate, will have been , con cluded and that on Friday the bill will be placed before the house for amend ment under the five-minute rule. .Repub lican leaders believe It can be passed by Saturday. . Several days will elapse in all probability before the . railroad bill Is taken up again In the senate. Consuls ration of the rivers and harbors bill will be resumed Monday, and Senator Mewlands will speak In advocacy of a more complete co-operation on the part of those responsible for the various im provement projects. When he concludes the bill will be considered. Tremendous pressure is being brought to bear on President Taft to take some part in deciding the claims of rival cities for the honor of holding an exposition In 1915 n commemoration of the completion of , the Panama canal. During the latter part of next week he will receive Governor Glilett and a large delegation of San Franciscans to urge the selection of the Golden Gate city. New Orleans and San Diego citizens have been here already and Washlngtonians are shouting their bids on every occasion when the opportunity offers. The confidence of the delegations that the canal will be finished In 1915, and that the government -will take part In the cele bration In soma, selected city Is sublime. All of the cities named apparently are go ing ahead with their plans, for that date without a thought of what will happen If the canal la not. finished them. Thus far. the president has given nothing, but kind words to tbe exposition boomers. ' Now that the Standard OH and the Amer ican Tobacco company cases - are to- be reargued, the corporation ' tax cases move up into first rank among those In which decisions may . be. expected In the near future. It Is not Impossible that decisions may be handed down In these cases when the court meets tomorrow. Secretary Wilson expects to set an. ex ample for cabinet members this year. He Is now planning his vacation to make It serve some purpose for the advancement of the Department of Agriculture. There are several big problems confronting the de partment, among them the forestry Ques tion, and It, is ILkely that he will make an Inspection of the forestry servjoe. Secre tary Dickinson will spend his vacation visiting the Panama canal and other In sular possessions, and Secretary Meyer Is talking of going to the several navy yards, making leisurely visits. Major General J. Franklin Bell will sur render ihe office-of chief of staff of the army on Friday next to Major General Leonard Wood. General Wood Is en route to Buenos Ayres, however, and the office will be. conducted until July by General Tanker H. BUss, .assistant chief of staff. , ii.

Roman Catholla churches In Omaha on Sunday celebrated the feast of St. Joseph, the patron of the' universal church, with fitting ceremony. Pope Plus the Ninth, during his reign aa head of the church, recommended that St. Joseph be selected as the patron of the churoh, as well as the head of the holy family. Rev. W. F. Dooley, a J of St. John's Cathollo church, spoke of St. Joseph at the 9 o'clock mass. He said that scrip ture Is strangely silent concerning the life of Joseph and sums up his character In the phrase that he was "a Just man." Father Dooley said that this was a very high tribute, as the virtue of Justice contains within Itself all of the other virtues. "A man to be just," he said, "must be Just to God', his neighbor and himself." 1 ' Persistent advertising la the road to Big Returns. . - v FTP ii HIS SHIRTS Look in the windows as you 1.50 and more Every Cluett shirt bears a CLUETT label The LanpTpiflllkpr ' of the ni ajw-. k 4 of this hat Xi&-Ti , " uuraiiuuy.v, brim, f founj I '-' Iear4.pf i wearer T'J' "'"'lJM-T' Hats ALWAYS 1SA" FOR IT.
