A showman who had the bears in charge explained that he had taught them the lunguase -of man. that they could "think as quickly, speak as rapidly and spell as badly as the President of -the United States." The trainer was a.ked whether the bears had any friends in the United States Senate, tho reply being: "No. Their lives have been simple, their habits correct. They own no Stand ard Oil stock nor have they .fenced in the public domain." Mr. Berryman, with the aid of bis beant. made a number of cartoons. One of the bears requested that he draw a picture of the man whom the Senate loves most and a striking likeness of the President appeared. A picture of Senator r'oraker showed up when the cartoonist was asked to draw a picture of the Senator whom the President loves most. The picture of the next President of the I ii 1 1 i ll States was a composite one. start ing with David B. Hill and being changed into Fairbanks.

FAMILY QUARREL IS DENIED Mrs. Thaw Vpliolds faithful Jr'rlend. .ury Practically Prisoners, JCFJV YORK, Jan. 26 One of the re ports in circulation today dealing with Thaw's motive for shooting Stanford White was to the effect that on th ntsht before the shooting Thaw called on "White and exacted from him a promise that he would never try to communicate with Evelyn Thaw again. It was also reported . that while at dinner in tho - Cafe Martin, four hours before the trag edy. Thaw intercepted a note from White asking Mrs. Thaw to meet him. Rumors of differences between Mrs. I Jirry K. Thaw on one side and Mrs. "William Thaw and the Countess of Yar mouth, mother and sister of Harry Thaw upon the other, continued to be Circulat ed today, despite a denial by Thaw's counsel that any such 'differences existed. It was reported today- that I. p. xej- liias, the San Francisco lawyer, who came East to defend Thaw, went to. the iiotel Iorralne, where the relatives of Harry K. Thaw are staying, -in the hope of reconciling any differences which lnlKht have arisen between the women. It was said that Evelyn Thaw made the first step to placate her mother-in-law ami sister-in-law and that Mr. Delmas only consented to try to amooth over their misunderstanding upon the agree ment that Mlvs Mackenzie should discon tinue her appearance in court. Harry Thaw is said to have discussed the matter with Mr. Peabody. of his counsel, when Mr. Peabody visited him in tho Tombs Prison today. Afterwards Mr. Peabody said: "I don't believe that Mr. Delmas knows that Alles Mackenzie Is in the courtroom He is there to work, and I don't behove he gives the woman a thought. "iiarly last Summer when Evelyn Thaw: wa3 practically all alone Miss Mackenzie was with her most of the time. It is only natural .to suppose that 2drs. Thaw wants to have Miss Mackenzie with ber HOW." Mr. Peabody said that Miss Mackenzie had proved herself one of the best friends Mrs. Kvelyn Thaw ever had, and that she took care ot Mrs. Thaw last Summer when the young wife was "suffering ag ony greater than that borne by any wom an in New Ifork," and has been devoted ever since. "Is it 'to be expected tbat now Mrs. Harry Thaw would cast her friend aside just for the sake of appearances?" asked Mr. Feafcody. lie declared that there was no truth In the report that other rel atives of Thaw have Quarreled ' with Evelyn Thaw because, of her friendship tor Miss Mackenzie. He said that Mrs. William Thaw and her daughters have never had any. objection to the Intimacy of tha Talr. Air, Peabody said that the report that Mr. Delmas had delivered an ultimatum that he would withdraw from the case unless Miss Mackenzie was kept out of the courtroom is absolutely without foun dation. Mr. Peabody also -declared that the re port tbat .Harfy Thaw and his wife were contemplating a divorce if Thaw Is ac quitted Is also false. He- said that Thaw and his wife "are mora Inseparably bound together than before the tragedy." Rooms are reported to have been en gaged in this city for eight Pittsburg wit nesses for Thaw to be brought to this city under the care of a Pittsburg detective. The Thaw Jurors were kept under Close surveillance at their hotel today. The wives of two of them called last night, but their Boards only permit conversa tions in the presence ot another Juror and ol the wards. About the on! v nhvslcal exerctso the Jurymen "elected enjoy now or aro nicely to enjoy for some weeks Is the imie ivaiK twice daily, accompanied by court officers, to and from the Broad way Central Hotel nl the Court-- o u ni The mt n are practically prls- oners. Every letter that 13 gent to tho Jurors Is opened and read by I 'ill I ii Captain W. J. Lynch, who has 1 t,i in -i 1 in t ... personal charge or tho Jurymen. Thia Is not done with the mall of rrisoners in the Tombs. No newspapers that have In them any ref-- erenee to the trial or tragedy are per mitted. Captain Lynch cuts out those parts of the newspapers that refer to the case, and the Jurors tiave to be content with bis censorship. Even the booKs and magazines are subjected to the same sort of scrutiny. The plans of the defense, while they 'nave not definitely developed, are still believed to be those which have been generally prophesied emotional in sanity and an appeal to' the so-called "higher" law. Only the faintest indi cation in this direction has appeared in the trial so far, and that was yes- terday, when Clifford W. Hartridge, chief counsel for Thaw, asked a pros pective Juror this quention: "Would you take Into consideration all tho evidence tending to Show the condition of this man's (Thaw's) mind at the time of the killing of Stanford White?" It was said today that evidence would be put before the jury to prove that ever since the Madison-Square Garden tragedy the entire living expenses of May Mac kenzie have been paid by some one con- nected with the Thaw family, The Dis trict Attorney is said to have copies of bills paid) on Miss Mackenzie's account at the Hotel Lorraine. Miss Mackenzie will appear as a witness for the prosecution, having been subpenacd by the District Attorney. IxblAXA BILL DESIGNED' TO i PROTECT COMPETITOR. With Companion Bill, Will Force Rate-Cutting Companies to Make Ilvduced Rule Permanent. IND1ANAPOSJS, Jan. 26. (Special.) Possibly one of the most radical de partures that have ever been suggested In legislation Is represented in two bills in troduced in the lower house of the Legis-la-ture this week, one of them being de signed for the alleged protection of a local gas company, just organized here. and the other, which takes its cue from the former, so enlarging? the scope of leg islation that it will be state-wide and necessarily affect every public-service cor poration doing- business In Indiana. Recently a Citizens' Oas Company was organized here under a franchise which limits the price to be charged for fuel and illuminating- gas to 60 cents per thousand cubic feet. The present service is rendered by a company which charges 90 cents per thousand. Its charter will expire In 'two years and a. new contract wjll then have to be made with the city. The first bill provides that the local au thorities shall not grant any franchise for furnishing- gas to the people here at a greater cost than 60 cents per thousand, the object toeing to prevent the old com pany from reducing Us. product below the franchise price of the new company. The second bill applies to gas. water, telephone, electric licrht. and In fact to all corporations having franchises from cities ana towns and engaged In a public serv- ice. Under the bill every reduction must be permanent, no matter what circum stances have combined to bring It about.

Four -troops of cavalry and the Thirteenth Cavalry band escorted .the body to the station. The services were unusually- simple, consisting merely of a brief eulogy end prayer by Dr. Wallace RadcJifte, pastor of the New York Avenue Pres byterian Church, and a short tribute and prayer by Rev. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the Senate, and a warm personal friend of the late Sen ator. Tinar Del Rio Tobacco Saved. HAVANA. Jan. 26.

Western athletics received a tr- mendouH Mha-keuD today when tho "Bis Nine combination 01 col,e5e? vs practically ratied and mere sprang up from its ruins the new "Fti& Pour." Analyzed, this means that Chlcajro, Michigan, Wisconsin and Mlnne- ota are the aristocrats nf Wpstpm otK. letics, that the smaller fry must herd by themselves and that MlchlKan -will not breaK away and Join tho Eastern confer ence. By the authority of a "peace" contract signed by the official representatives of the Universities of Michigan. Chicago Minnesota and Wisconsin and made pub lic today by the Chicago Senate, the "Big JSine complications. hanging fire mroug-nou-t me lootball "reform" agita tion of the past year, are, to a great ex- tent, swept away. Under the terms of the new treaty, the "Big Pour," with all its quarrels burled and football relations re established, rises into power as the leader or western football. Schedules of games among: the four schools for the next four years were an nounced with the agreement, and the Ac tion is considered tho most important taken since the memorable "reform" con- ference of last Winter. Chicago is to re new its old-time rivalry with Michigan and; Wisconsin. A&ichigran buries the hatch- et with Minnesota ana the several other results of the antt-champlonship ruling are abolished. Miclilgan ana Chicago lienef it. The agreement is an undoubted vk-tory for the liberals of the schools concerned, michlgan. on the one hand, apparently sets full satisfaction out of the new con dition, wbich she has been loudest In ad vocating, and Chicago has the pleasure of benefiting- . from the "big game" agita tion pursued continually by Coach Stagg, since the no-championship movement was passed. Minnesota, although taking a firm stand against the changes proposed by Chicago and Michigan at the "Big Nine" conference in Chicago January 12, has al ready formally notified the Maroon au thorities that she approves fully of the contract. Michigan's, position Is equally firm. While the Wisconsin facultv as vet as not sent Chicago a statement of views, it is stated tbat Dr.-C. V. Hutch ins, who was a party to ,the contract, was fully authorized by the Cardinal au thorities. Three big games were all that were found practioable for this year. Michigan, Chicago and Minnesota, each having one big game scheduled, could not take on more ' than one other such contest be cause of the "ftve-game" rule, which will not permit of pore than two "big games," and in consequence the number of new games has to be held down. Michigan's Big 100 7 Games. The Chicago-Michigan game -was the only new one for the Maroons, as Minne sota and Chicago have had a game sched uled since last Fall. Michigan will have its hands full to take care of both Chi cago and Pennsylvania, -it was declared, while Minnesota was tilled up with its Chicago and Wisconsin dates. The Chicago-Michigan, Chicago-Minnesota and Minnesota-Wisconsin will be the high water maris of next season. CHANGES IX FOOTBAIXi JtULES Joint committee Modifies Game in Light of Experience. NEW TORK, Jan. 26. Some Important changes in the rules governing football were decided today at a meeting of the new joint rules committee. The conditions will come before the joint committee for final disposition probably In March. Among the rules is the lengthening of the Halves from 30- to 35 minutes each. The new rules in reference to the pasa pro vide, instead of .a -penalty of loss of ball on an unsucessful pass, a 15-yard penalty on the first and second downs. When a foul is committed, it counts as a down. The proposed substitute for the present forward-pass rule is as follows; ft a forward pass' before reaching the rround, or a- kicked ball either before or after reaching the - ground, goes out of bounds, the ball shall belong to the oppo nents at: the point where it crosses the side line. Another Important change is the crea tion of a new official, the field umpire. The new game. It was stated today, often made it difficult for the referee and the umpire to settle contested plays, so the new official was created to be on the field In the defending territory and close to the scene of the play. Rule 19 of Iiat year was changed so that on a kick-out after a touchback or a safe- ty, opponents may not come within ten yards of the side having a free kick. Tn the present on-side rule a provision was Inserted that a line player is permit ted to carry the ball, provided he does not leave his position In the line until the ball Is put into play. It was also decided that a player may at all times pass the ball to another of his -own side, . who is' behind him. A new section to rule S states that the player shall be considered as having op portunity to make a fair catch If he is In such position that it wouJd be possible for him to reach the ball before it touches the ground.' To the same rule was added: In- case a signal for a fair catch is made by any player who has an opportunity for a fair catch, and another player of his side who' has not sienalled for a fair catch, catches tha ball no run shall be made and a fair catch shall not bo allowed, but the ball shall be given to the catcher's side for a down, at the point where the eaten was made. .

LAS Kill I WINS IX FIFTY MOVES Takes First Game in World's Chess Championship Series. ' NEW YORK. Jan? 26. Dr. Emanuel Lasker, the holder of the title, tonight won from Frank J. Marshall the first Same in the series for the chess cham pionship of the world. . Marshall re signed after BO moves had been made. Play began at 2:30 o'clock, this after noon, adjournment beinsr taken at 6 o'clock. Play was resumed at 8 o'clock and continued until nearly 11 o.'clock. When recess- was taken for dinner 23 moves Tiad been registered. 13cu.buse !x, Laskor has net .been ,i i '-' :-i----i v.'is called upon to defend his title in more than ten years. Interest in the en counter spreads to the remotest corner ot the globe. Both masters yesterday declared themselves to be In flne shape. Just what the match means to the devotees of the silent pastime .will be readily appreciated when It is stated that, although there have been Interna tional tournaments for the leading: players of the day without number. not one contest for the individual su premacy has taken place since Dr. Kmanuel Lasker defeated William Steinitz at Moscow In 1897 for the sec ond time. In 1S94 Dr. Lasker wrested the. title from Steinitz with the score of 10 to 5 and four draws. The sec ond time Steinita was beaten by 1 0 to 2 and flve draws. The Incumbency of steinitz extended over a period of 2S years. . " Prank J. Marshall, the opponent of Lasker In the flght tor the world's chess bonors. has won first prizes in two great International masters' tour. naments in addition to many- achieve ments or- lesser magnitude. In the serious Judgment of most of those qualified to judge, Dr. Lasker is a favorite despite the fact that he ran second to Marshall in the international tournament at Cambridge Springe, Pa.. In 1904, in which contest the individ ual encounter between the two mas ters resulted in a draw. It was in 1900 that Marshall made "his debut as a full-fledged master, at Paris, and on that occasion the American worsted the champion in a most brillian game. But Lasker won the tournament, nev ertheless, this being his only reverse, whereas Marshall was tied for third place with Maroczy. Salem Defeats YVoodburn. WOODBURN, Or., Jan. 26. (Special.)
