DEMOCRATS
Bailey and Clark Disagree!
on Tariff. ;
BUT HARMONY NOW PREVAILS
Next Speaker Is For Schedule by
Schedule Revision as Opposed to
an Entire New Bill Harmon )
Favorite For President. i
I
Baltimoru, Jan. IS. The national
Domocracy conference here developed
a radical difference of opinion between
Senator Bailey of Texas and Champ
Clark, speaker to bo, over the method
that tho Democrats shall follow In re
vising tlio tariff. Otherwise It was a
perfectly proper harmony conference.
Inasmuch as Clark is to bo the lei tier
of tho Democratic forces in the noxt
houso and Senator Bailey In the seii'
ate tho difference between them seemed
to be a good sized fly In tho harmony
ointment. Itepresentatlve Clark bus
declared for a revision of tho tariff
cliedulo by schedule, no suggested
tfiat it might bo necessary for the
Democrats even to tackle some tilings
In the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law item
by Item.
Senator Bailey, on the other haudi
wants to make u clean sweep of th
Payne-Aldrlch law. Ho wants a lilaii'
ket tariff revision on a revenue basis
and believes that the sooner the Dem
ocrats can get at it the better it will
be for them. A piecemeal revision, 111
his opinion, would bo n confession be
' fore tho country of tho Inability of the
"Democratic party to handlo this ques
tion in Its entirety and would be a sad
blow at tho prospects of the party in
1012.
Both, however, joined In the general
harmony chorus. Any little difference-!
ppearlng on tho horizon now, they
say, nro mere details soon to be
merged in the harmonious whole.
With tho possible exception of Sen
ator Bailey's "break," everything was
.avoided that could possibly start trou
ble at the gathering. It would have
been regnrded as high treason to have
turned loose tho smallest kind of a
presidential boom. William Jennings
Bryan was not mentioned once.
The nearest approach to tho buzzing
of the presidential bee was the taking
f a poll on favorite candidates by u
Baltimore newspaper. This count was
taken on the special train from "Wash
ington which brought about flOO repre
sentatives, senators and other guests
Judson Harmon led by a good sized
margin ns the favorite candidate and
Woodrow Wilson came next.
Tho Democrats were not at all back
ward about flaying tho Republicans,
particularly Colonel Roosevelt. They
dragged out the Ossawatomle speech
and held a postmortem. Former Sen
ator Blackburn of Kentucky declared
that tho doctrine of now nationalism
was "treason deeper and darker than
any charged against the south front
'01 to '05."
CUT FARRELL'S SALARY.
New President of Steel Trust to Re
ceive Only $50,000 a Year.
Now York, Jan. 18. Fifty thousand
dollars a year will be paid as salary
to James A. Farrell as president ot
the United States Steel corporation.
Charles It. Schwab and William 10
Corey got $100,000 a year when th
held tho same post.
When Farrell was announced as IV
new president of the steel trust there
was much surprise, as Klbort II. Gary
ehairman of tho corporation, had mad,
a statement tho company would g.-,
along without a president. The cut Id
salary, however, did not come entire, ,
as a surprise, because the undorsmuil
lug is that the presidency hns beeoni'
subordinate In importance to tho dial
manshlp.
The finance committee, of win I
Gary Is chairman, fixes salaries, anc
the reduction is regarded as being ii
line with Its plan of subordinating thir
office, a proc-coss which recently ha,
been carried out to a large extent u

BOWLERS READY
FOR TOURNEV
St, Louis Plans to Make A. 0, 0,
Event Best Ever Held,
NEW WAY TO HANDLE SQUADS
Idea Is to Have Men Shoot Individual
Entry In Samo Manner as Doubles,
Thereby Having on Alleys Twe
Squads of Bowlers at One Time.
The eyes of tho bowling world will
be turned toward St. Louis during the
last week of January and tho first in
February, when the mighty tourna
ment of tho American bowling coil'
cress will be on. Twenty thousand
games will be rolled during tho twe
weeks of the tournntnent on the six
teen alleys used for that purpose.
Not one other ball than a ball to count
scores in this tournnment will be roll
cd in this building or on the alloys to
be built. It places all on an equal
footing, and it guarantees to the vis
itor a square denl in the game he has
traveled a long way to support.
The foundation of the game is laid
In sociability and squareness, and St
Louis will furnish both. The St. Lotili

people arc preparing to entertain the
bowlers or give them a golden oppor
tunity to entertain themselves, and
the American bowling congress is pre
paring to see that all get a square
deni.
The tournament building Is one of
tho largest in the country, and the
floor space Is enormous.
Entries cover a large territory, hav
ing been received from Vancouver to
New York and from Montreal to Mo
bile. To Try Out New Feature.
A new feature will bo tried out this
year. In former tournaments, when
two full squads of five men teams
shot tho night previous, it became nec
essary the next day in order to take
care of the doubles and singles of all
members of these five men squads to
start bowling in somo Instances as
early as 7:30 a. m., and this has caused
considerable discontent among the
bowlers so early scheduled. There
hardly seemed any remedy for this
but It has been found by Secretary
Abo Langtry, and ho has had the Illi
nois Bowling association, also tho Chi
cago Bowling association, try it out
for him In two tournaments since the
last national tournaments, and they
have found It worked to a charm.
How the Scheme Works.
Tho Idea is to double up the indi
vidual squads and have them shoot
their Individual entry in thq samo
manner as they would the doubles,
thereby having on the tournament al.
leys at ono time two squads of indi
vidual bowlers whllo heretofore there
was only one squad shootiug. A great
deal of timo has been lost with Indi
vidual squads In checking them In nt
the paddock, and in addition to that
tho greatest loss of timo wns when
ono bowler started to lag, either wait
lug for his ball or from fatigue, as tho
pace sot in tho individual event was
rather fast.
Now, to shoot the bowlers in doublo
squads will givo each man n short pe
riod of rest, which will not only work
to his advantage, but to tho advantage
of tho tournament secretnry, and in
doing so it will save about five min
utes to a squad, and when you figure
from twelve to fourteen squads daily
you wiy readily seo a saving of one
hour nnd over and tho starting of tho
tournpmont that much later In tho
ovenlng. This Is surely n great boon
to the bowler who shoots tho night
before, as he can snatch a few extra
winks and be satisfied. This ho will
thank tho American Bowling congress
for, and other tournaments will surely
follow the lead within a year or two
when they seo tho ndvantago of tho
oystein.
Chlcagoans Take Up Javelin Throwing
Physical Director Martin Delauey or
tho Chicago Athletic association plans
to give western track enthusiasts a
novelty by Introducing the Javelin
throw as an event for his track men
to trnln for.
Tho new event has been a feature of
the Olympic games for some time past
nnd has been Included In tho programs
of several eastern meets, but it came
to tho west as an Innovation. Delaney
believes the new ovent will add great
ly to tho entries "in any meet which
Includes tho new event on Its card.

Cordarell, Turkish Giant, Wants to
Meet World's Champion on Mat.
Mchmot Cordarell, biggest of all
Turkish wrestlers, who recently ar
rived in this country, Is ready to meet
all the heavyweight grapplcrs in the
world, says Antoino Pierrl, his man
ager. Cordarell is known as tho heav
iest grnppler in Turkey, tipping the
beam at about 300 pounds. This giant
from tho land of the sultan Is six feet
four Inches tall nnd when compared
with all the wrestlers now in the
game towers over them as the oak
above the sapling.
This Turk Is not versatile at catch-as-catch-can
wr6stllng, being nccus
tomed to th Greco-Itoman style, nis
best achievement of late came In the
tournnment held In Turkey, In which
about fifteen or twenty of tho best
wrestlers participated. Cordarell won
tho grand prize over all his competi
tors. The tournament wns held under
tho rules in vogue in Turkey, being a
modification of the Greco-Roman.
FROM TROTTER TO PACER.
Syd Axworthy Will Try Side Whesl
Gait Next Season.
Syd Axworthy, holder of tho world's
hnlf mile record of 69 seconds, trot
ted over tho Boston speedway, has de
cided to change ills gait and invade
the ranks of the sldewheeler next sca
Bon. Syd's record was made in 1908,
but for tho last two seasons ho has
stepped down the Hudson River drive
in New York at a two minute clip, and
as a matinee nnd speedway horse he
has been considered almost invincible.
It is therefore n surprise to many
horsemen to loam that this pure, level
galted trotter can pace just about as
fast us he can trot, and possibly when
bis muscles have become accustomed
to tho new gait ho will establish n new
pacing record.

Rome at Its Vor6t.
It is well known that there Is In
Roman history a period which, from
the reputation that It bears, may well
bo called infamous. This extends
from tho death of Sulln to tho death
of Nero, Including the end of the re
public and tho early years of the em
pier. This period hns a very bad repu
tation; not only was it full of disorder,
civil war, scandalous lawsuits, but
nearly all of its most Illustrious per
sonages wore notoriously vicious, be
ginning with the most Illustrious of
them all, Julius Caesar. All woro
deep in debt, drunkards, gluttons,
spendthrifts; they wore dissolute,
when not accused outright of giving
themselves up to the most degrading
pollution. Tliero is no Infamy that
has not been attributed to them. Only
a very few have escaped from this uni
versal censure; and, with the excop
tlon of Ponipey and Agrlppa, those
who did escape wero of minor impor
tance. The others wero either odious
In tho extreme or else depraved like
LuculluB, Crnssus, Antony, Augustus,
Maecenas, Tiberius. Nero to say
nothing ot the women of the Claudlan
line, who, when they were not pois
oners outright, were women of evil
