CAMP HAS BROKEN
UP THE ANXIETY
PICKS OUT A TYPICAL EASTERN
"ALL AMERICAN" TEAM.
Minnesota Not Given Recognition Until
the Third Team I ReachedThorpe
and Harris Named for Their Posi-
tionsThe Choice Will Cause Amuse
ment in the West.
By O'Loughlln.
Walter Camp has spoken. The anxi
ety is all removed and the football ora
cle of the east has made his selections
of an Ail-American'' team. As had
been expected Camp made up his team
largely from men whose play has come
under his personal observationin the
east. I might be more accurately
termed an All-Eastern team.'' Yale
gets three places, Pennsylvania three,
Princeton one and the remainder are
f*ven
over to West Point, Chicago,
ichiganand Harvard.
Following are the selections as pub
lished this week In Collier's "Weekly:
FIRST ELEVEN.
EndShevlin, Yale.
TackleCooney, Princeton.
GuardPiekurski. Pennsylvania.
CenterTipton, West Point.
GuardKinney, Yale.

While this is interesting, in a way,
to the followers of football in the west,
there remains a grim humor about the
selections that will cause smiles. No
one questions the right of Heston to a
plnre on the "All-American" aggrega
tion, but right there the matter stops.
Eckersall is flipped around from behind
the line to the end as a counterbalance
for the prowess Tom Sh.ovlin. Not a
Minnesota, Wisconsin or Nebraska man
gets a place on the second of these "All
Americans.''
It would be highly presumptuous for a
western football writer to attempt to
pick an "All-Eastern" team without
invaclinsr. the east and. watching the
teams at play. The same is true of an
:eastern writer picking an "All-Ameri-
can'' team without journeying to the
west to watch the various games in
progress. If Walter Camp saw Michi
gan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Chicago or
Nebraska play this year the fact has
not come out, and when the dean of
eastern football scribes comes west on
football business beat''the fact i gener
allv noted. Next week the publication
announces that Mr. Camp will pi ci an
I' All-Western Team.'' This feat will
be awaited with pleasurable expecta
tion.
To "get down to brass tacks," there
is a growing feeling that just as good
football is played by the "big four"
of the Big Nine," as is played on
"any gridiron of the

Governor Yates of Illinois threatened to call
out troops to prevent a prize fight In Belvldere
last nl~ht. For Rome montba the Crescent Ath
letic club has lee giving exhibitions. A tne
last show there was fierce fighting and one or
two knockouts.
A mass meeting of citizens was held and a
law and order league formed. Alderman Earl,
president i the league, advised Governor Yate%
that a priae fight was advertised .for last night.
Governor Yates wired back that, he would call
out troops to prevent the fight if the sheriff did
not act. After this threat, the. promoters, of the
exhibition met a committee composed of seven
members of the city council and agreed to call
off the' boxing bouts ir no objections -were offered
to having a wrestling contest.
BASEBALL
Chicago, Dec. 81.Trouble is brewing among
the minor baseball leagues of the country and
It is not improbable the meeting of the na
tional commission in Cincinnati, Jan. 9 will
have an open quarrel to settle.
From minor league sources it beoame known
today that the proposition submitted by Attorney
Griffiths of Jersey City for an Increase in the
drafting price to $1,500the proposition which
the National league approved at its December
meeting in New orkwas unauthorized by the
National Association of Professional Baseball
leagues, the governing body of the minor leagues
of, the country.
It ts asserted that Griffiths' action was
prompted and is backed by Ned Hanion, owner
of the Baltimore club, and George Tebeau, who
is interested'in the Louisville, Kansas Oiti and
Denver clubs In the west. These minor league
magnates, with Griffiths, are accused by minor
leaguers of having personal axes to grind. They
have acted contrary to the opinion of many
other minor league officials, as well as without
the authorization of the National association.
All thiB Is creating a split among the minor
leagues,.
r*
iX,-Iias
VoiateiL otit that Hanion, Tebeau and
trritritns lost jear covered up more minor league
players wanted by the big leagues than any
other magnates. The entire Baltiraare club was
covered up by Hnnlon thru his connection with
the Brooklyn National league club.
It is expected that a compromise will result
at the meeting of the national commission in
Cincinnati. The proposition submitted by Grif
fiths to the National league differs from that
submitted by the minors to the Americans, The
American league, and .apparently many of the
minor leagues, are unwilling to approve of this
plan. Hence there will be out and out war
or a compromise, and the latter seems the
more probable.

GOTHAM FIREMEN
MAY BSE AUTOS
Chief Has a Motor Car and Motor
Engines Likely to Be
Adopted.
New York, Dec. 31."Automobile
firemen" are likely to become as im
portant a part of the fire department
as any other and Chief Croker's favor
it project may therefore be soon real
ized. The civil service commission has
already started an examination for fire
men of this sort. Chief Croker himself
has been furnished -with a Columbia
gasolene touring car and an official
chauffeur, as has also Deputy Chief
Lailly of Brooklyn.
Chief Croker leaves Great Jones street
every morning that he is not called
away on some big fire and goes to fire
headquarters, in East Sixty-seventh
street, where his cat leaves him and re
turns to Great Jones street. I hetill
needs it for inspection duty during the
day it runs up to fire headquarters for
him.
He still uses his horse and buggy, but
for quick work he finds the gasolene car
indispensable. I is fitted with a large
brass bell instead of a horn and is'
painted red, to resemble the rest of the
fire department apparatus.
The use of the motor car for fire fight
ing purposes seems to have been found
the most practical, but nevertheless in
ventors of motor fire engines and hose
carts are still rushing their vehicles to
the front, and it is not unlikely that
New York will in the near future see
some kind a horseless engine i use.
Steam is ahead of either gasolene or
electricity in this direction, and if any
thing is tried soon it will undoubtedly
be propelled by steam.
Ever since its creation the automobile
has been trying to break into the fire
department. Various forms of, motor
cars, gasolene, steam and electric, have
been patented and tried to some extent
in the art of fire fighting. A first it
was supposed that the first form
which would come into general use
would be the electric engine. A light
electric pump was made and tried, and
it met with little favor.
The idea was to draw it to a fire" Try
horses and then attach it to an electric
plug. This might have worked if every
fire plug had originally been
equipped with electric current, but as
this was not done the expense of laying
cables was found to be too great.
Several storage battery fire engines
were built, but none of them have been
put into use.
In spite of these repeated failures,
however, the leading fire fighters of
New York and other cities have never
up he motor car as an auxiliary
fighting apparatus. OEcVwarcl
Croker, the fire chief of New York, has
always been an ardent supporter of the
automobile for practical use. He was
the first chief in the country to adopt
a small steam car for his own use.

^^'THE^^MINNEAPOLIS^ JOURNAL.
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE TH1KK
A Word to the Building Inspector.
To the Editor of The Journal.
The writer has- come to the conclusion
that it is a difficult matter to solve the
protlem as to what it is best to do In re
gard to brick walls or stone walls, after
a fire such as we have passed thru. In,
reading the evidence of the coroner's jury,
it took me back'to the time Westminster
church was destroyed by fire in September,
1895. The high gable wall facing Nicollet
remained standing after the fire, and our
building inspector and contractors gen
erally considered it safe, and finally the
"signs of danger" were removed 'and
sidewalks opened to the public. Finally
communications came to the officers of
the church, warning them what the result
would be if the walls were not properly
cared for so, at request of the trustees,
E. F. Pabody and myself visited our build
ins inspector and' explained our mission.
W said were- not uit
to the wall, and did
in the -jurisiJlQtion of
accused person
eatisttedany
a
:ttotq caree to run
risk of damage. Wfr were assured it was
all right that we'might go home and
lose no sleep over it 'a wind of from forty
to sixty miles an Kc-urf:would not bulge it.
etc. We departed'Relieved, for we realized
what the expense' would be to take It
down. Well, it w&T'not long after that
over went the* wflil onto Nicollet ave
nue. I happened- about noon, with no
wind, either. .Fortunately no one was
hurt.
One word in ctoVlng, to the coming
building inspector: fEnforce the' laws 'i
regard to fire limits, and business
generally when tHe city fathets come
around for special permits for 'this or
that friend (which they will)

history it was composed of sixteen

James Arnold.
Redwood county, Minn.
Replying to Mr. Arnold's request for the
author of the grand jury amendment, the
bill submitting it to the people was in
troduced by Senator George R. Laybourn
of Duluth, who probably will introduce
another bill this winter abolishing the
grand jury and substituting the system of
presentments by the prosecuting attorney.
While there is some question about the
policy of abolishing the grand jury, there
is no doubt of the state's power to do so.
tho Mr. Arnold's argument.is an interest
ing one. I has already been done in the
states of Michigan, Wisconsin and South
Dakota, and possibly In others.
Attorneys say that the constitutional
provision quoted by Mr. Arnold is only
binding on the federal courts, and does
not hamper the states in enforcing state
laws. The fourteenth amendment includes
limitations on state authority, saying "nor
shall any state deprive any person of life,
liberty or property without due process
of law." This, It will be noted, says noth
ing about the grand jury. The fifth amend
ment, which Mr. Arnold quotes, does not
apply to enforcement of state laws by the
state courts, so that "due process of law"
Is sufficient.
