FARGO FANS TAKE UP
WITH THE DAKOTA
LEAGUE
Laxdal's Plan is Favored by
the Powerful in Baseball
at That City.
Dan J. Laxdal, formerly president of
the Northern baseball league, bad a
conference with W. J. Price and other
Fargo fane regarding a purely North
Dakota league, which he urges is a
better proposition tihan the plan the
local fans had of making in some Min
nesota towns, says the Fargo Forum.
Mr. Laxdal wants Grand Forks,
Devils Lake, Rugby and Minot on the
Great Northern and Fargo, Valley City,
Jamestown and Bismarck on the
Northern Pacific. The travel would
all be on the main lines of the North
ern Pacific and .the Great Northern
except the jump from Minot to Bis
marck, which would 'be over the Soo,
the two lines of that road now being
connected. It would be an easy
proposition to reach all the towns
along the circuit.
Rugby Is the smallest town in the
proposed circuit, but the fans there
are enthusiastic and will put up a
guarantee. Part (ft the games for that
place could be played at Knox, York
and Leeds.
Such a league would be purely a
North Dakota proposition and could
be made a success with some -en
thusiastic man at the head. Mr. Lax
dal agrees wijth Mr. Price that a $600
salary limit, with a $30 game guaran
tee, would be about the proper thing.

Rochester, N. Y. Fight Fans
Expect to See a Good Bout
Tonight.
IwiHitrt Presa ta The Bralif Ttan.
Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 28.-»Fight fol
lowers hereabouts are on the tiptoe of
expectation in anticipation of the bout
between Tommy Ryan and Hugo Kelly,
which is to be pulled off tonight in the
arena of the Rochester Athletic club.
It Is the first time In ar good many
years that the sporting element has
had an opportunity to greet Ryan,
who is a native of this section, and
they are expected to turn out en masse
to see the holder of the middleweight
title in action. While Kelly is believed
to be hardly the fighter to wrest the
title from Ryan, he is a fast fighter
and .1 hard slugger, and is counted
upon to give .the champion an interest
ing argument for at least six rounds,
which is to be the limit of the fight.
Bddie McBride of Buffalo has been se
lected to referee the contest.

BOTH NEW YORK CLUBS
WILL USE MANY VETERANS
New York, Feb 28.—The representa
tive major league teams of this city,
the New York Americans and the New
York Nationals, and Broklyn will take
the field this year with few changes
in their composition. Manager Griffith
of the Americans decided' some time
ago to stand pat, but with the possible
defection of Ohesbro he may open
negotatlons with a leading club for
a certain well known left-hander to
help out in the box. Orth, Clarkson
and Hogg will be worked a great deal
this year.
didates for the place—Corcoran of last
year's Cincinnati team Mullen, draft
ed from Baltimore Sammy Strang,
John Hannifan and Danny Shay. The
pitchers will remain the same as last
year—Christy Mathewson, Taylor,
Ames, Wiltse, McGinmlty, Ferguson
and Hank Mathewson. Bowerman,
Bresnaham, Fitzgerald and Alex
Smith are the catchers. McGann'wiU
play first base, with Devlin at third
and Dahlen at short field. If ttonlin
signs he will play center field, witfe
Seymour in right and Shannon in left,
while Browns and Burke, the latter
from the Connecticut league, also will
try for places behind the infield.
Brooklyn's team also will remain
practically the same, with Jordan on
first base, Alperman on second, Casey
on third and Lewis at short stop, with
Hummel extra man. McCarthy will
be seen again in left, Maloney in cen
ter, and the heavy hitting Lumley in
right field with Batch extra, Bergan,
Rltter and Butler will attend, to the
back stop work.
Manage Donovan has secured a num
ber of new pitchers to strengthen the
corps. His regular boxmen are
Stricklett, Mclntyre, Pastorius and
Scanlon, but he expects something
from Eason, too. Bell, from the Tri
State league, is said to be a coming
twirler, while Rucker, from Savannah,
also Is well thought of.
have been drawing great crowds, and
the general opinion is that I got the
worst of the decision.
"As soon as we get back to America
I will go after Gans for' another
match. He must fight me again, but I
will not give him any the better of
the terms. I will fight him winner
take all or for a percentage and big
side bet. Our money has been up
since we left America for England.
All that is necessary to bring the
match to a hasty conclusion is for
Gans to come forward with his
money."
Nelson also writes tl^t he has takj
en on much weight while abroad and
would probably tip the beam at 145
pounds without his clothes on.
It is evident that the reported match
between Nelson and John Summers, a
featherweight, will not take place. A
meeting between these men at the
weights suggested appears ridiculous.
Nelson would not make 130 pounds for
a $10,000
MAY NOT
HAVE RAGES
Badger Athletic Director Says
$700 Must Be Subscribed
Within Eight Days.
Madison, Wis., Feb. 28.—Athletic Di
rector Hutchins has told the crew so
licitors that unless the students sub
scribed $700 within the next eight days
Wisconsin would have no crew races
this year. Already $300 has been sub
scribed, and, as $1,000 is the 'amount
that has been assigned to the students,
the athletic director refused to com
plete negotiations for races at Pough
keepsie and on Mendota until the
amount is paid into the treasury.
On account of the action of the in
terstate commerce commission, which
prohibits special rates, the crew trip
will be more expensive than formerly.
Three thousand dollars is necessary to
defray expenses of the races. Dr.
Hutchins says he will not ask. the
alumni for a cent until the students
contribute their share.
FOUR lUT PLAN
Duluth Evidently Dissatisfied
With the Arrangement Made
Last Sunday.
The Duluth Herald does not seem
very enthusiastic over the four club
plan, and would like to have six clubs.
That paper says that Fargo would like
to get into the league, but it is not
very probable that the fans in the town
up the creek will do anything this
year, as it is understood that the ex
pense of carrying the team along last
year was rather heavy. Further than
that, three of the best baseball men of
the city have expressed their determi
nation to keep out of baseball this year
as far as the Nancy league is con
cerned. Grand Forks certainly does
not want to get into. the Northern
league, the fans here being all taken
up with the North Dakota plan.
WANT BASE BALL CLUB.
Dr. Sweetland and Dan Breunan Inter
ested in Chautauqua Mine.
Devils Lake Journal: The Chautau
qua association has closed an arrange
ment with Dan Brennan and Dr.
Sweetland to furnish a ball tem for the
Chautauqua this season. Last year
the Chautauqua had' a good team, and
it was under the management of Dr.
Sweetland and Mr. Brennan, and this
year they say the team will be better.
If the business men of this city will
take hold of the matter the club will
be organized and known as the Devils
Lake club, and a series of games will
be played at Leeds, York, Cando and
Brinsmade before the Chautauqua
opens. The club will be composed

Fred B. Gamble of Kewanee, one of
the most expert bowlers in western
Illinois, scored twelve strikes in suc

markable feat being performed in a

He has reported in Chicago, ready to

The wise ones who follow the game
closely pick New York and Cleveland
to make next year's American league

THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FORKS, N. D.
Washington, Feb. 28.—Well, here we
are in the last week of the official life
of the short session of congress, and
the prophecy made at the commence
ment has been fully carried out. The
appropriation bills have been put In
shape for passage, and "that will be
about all." Individual members and
minority combinations have shouted
about proposed reforms, but with little
effect. One statement of the past week
should not be taken too seriously, and
that was that there would be a deficit
in the revenue of the government of
$100,000,000.
That is a "killer" to the tariff re
visionists. Yet the country will have
tariff revision, and that all too soon.
There is no man that Rocsevelt can
place in the president's chair strong
enough to withstand the growing sen
timent for revision of the tarifE, and
within four years the matter will come
up for consideration. Then watch out!
Manufacturing today is being overdone
in many lines of trade, and with tariff
tinkering on hand the "captains of
finance" will go slow for a year or so,
and this will include the shutting down
of some factories. When the newspa
pers are giving prominence to the clos
ing of these factories, the thought
suggestion will be conveyed to other
manufacturers, and action thereon will
converge into one of the biggest panics
ever known in the country. Of course,
this is all 'bosh. The writer is an
alarmist. Anyone today who can put
two and two together is an alarmist.
Yet you paste the statement in your
hat that there will be a Democratic
president in 1912 to receive the blame
for the panic brought about by the
above conditions.
Washington has some great officials.
We have had a great postmaster gen
eral, so.they tell us. A man of tre
mendous ability. In the business world
a man is said to be a good business
man who can build up the business of
his company and at the same time hold
or increase the ratio of profits. The
expenses of the postofflce department
are the largest in the history of the
country, and who can not run any
business proposition if given sufficient
money. Having run the expenses of
the postal service to over $200,000,000,
Cortelyou is to be given the run of the
largest money box in the country—the
treasury department—where it is to be
hoped that his money sense will be
satisfied.
This matter of the pushing to the
front of a particularly intelligent clerk
stenographer is a reminder of what
Representative J. Adam Bede said at
a recent dinner of the Momus club:'
"I have long ago found out that the
cabinet officers did not run the govern
ment—indeed, 'have very little to do
with it. When I want any information
or favors I go to the 'boys' in the dif
ferent bureaus and divisions. If I
asked the secretary for the same in
formation 'he would get it from the
same source, only colored to suit the
views of the man at the head who did
not know the details of the matter."
Considerable irritation has. been
aroused this winter by the attempts to
give additional authority to Chief For
ester Pinchot a"d blanket additions to
the forest reserves of the country. It
pays to have the president for a per
sonal friend, for that would appear to
be a step to rapid promotion. Senator
Heyburn expressed himself to the sen
ate thus. "You are simply giving this
$1,000,000 as a play thing into the hands
of this splendid gentleman, who chal
lenges the admiration of this august
'body because he is a good fellow."
When the proposition to increase the
pay of members of congress was up
for consideration, it was given out to
the country that mileage and all other
extravagant extras would be cut off,
but here comes, up the matter of al
lowing the same old steal of 20 cents
a mile. This is sublimely ridiculous
when cognizance is taken of the fact
that the railroads are compelled in
many states to carry passengers for
two cents a mile. A matter which

Julius Kahn.
Congressman Juliu Kahn of Cali
fornia, who is probably the foremost
advocate of a Japanese exclusion act,
was born in the Grand Duchy of
Baden, February 28, 1861. Though still
a comparatively young man he has
had a most interesting career. Prev
ious to entering public life, Mr. Kahn
had earned a somewhat high reputa
tion as an actor. He was taken to
California iby his parents when he
was but a few years old and his edu
cation was received in the public
schools of San Francisco. After leav
ing school he entered the theatrical
profession. He remained on the stage
several years, during which time he
played with Edwin Bcoth, Clara Mor
ris, Joseph Jefferson, Tomasso Sul
vini and other eminent actors and
actresses. Deciding to abandon the
stage in 1890 Mr. Kahn returned to
San Francisco and began t'he study
cf law. Two years later he was
elected to the state legislature, which
marked the beginning of his public
career. In 1S9'.» he was nominated by
the republicans and elected as the rep
resentative of the fourth California
district in congress. *He was re-elect
ed in 1903 and again in 1905.

should receive attention, however, is
the fact that in the east a passenger
must have a first-class ticket in order
to purchase a Pullman berth, and then
in the morning be compelled to enter
the "day coaches" unless you put up
another dollar for a seat in the parlor
car. From Washington to Chicago the
first-class fare is $2 extra, $4 for a
berth, and $1 extra for a seat in the
parlor car—$7 for the privileges of the
Pullman service for twenty-four hours.
Th*e railroad compels you to ride in
the same car with the second-class
tlcketers, unless you want to pay for
the hospitalities of the other public
service corporation. In other words,
the railroad renders you no extra serv
ice whatever for the extra money.
The government printing office is a
bee-hive during the sessions of con
gress, there being a
necessity
action during the closing hours of the
short session particularly. The acts of
congress are printed from seven to
twenty times, the last impression be
ing on parchment to receive the signa
ture of the president. All bills likely
to be reported are kept "standing" by
the printing office, and when they are
sent to the office the type is quickly
placed in cfhases and sent to the press
room. The large appropriation 'bills
are printed in the enrolled form in ad
vance of the action of the conferees,
and a messenger conveys the copy
from the capitol in piecemeal and the
changes reprinted. In this way the
committee frequently receives the com
pleted enrolled bill of several hundred
pages before the members of the con
ference committee have left the room
after deciding upon the last paragraph.
The government printing service is
one of the most complete and satisfac
tory in Washington. The rate of pay
of employes is low compared to the
compensation of other governmental
workers,-tout this matter will receive
attention of Public Printer Stillings
before he finishes his term of office.
He is placing the office on a commer
cial basis, installing a cost and audit
system to ascertain any "leaks," and
turning the manufacturing depart
ments into vast machine shops. With
in a few months practically all the
composition will be performed on the
Mergenthaler and Lanston typesetting
machines, the former taking care of
the straight composition and the for
mer handling all the tabular and in
tricate copy sent in by the scientific
sharps of the different bureaus. The
Lanston machine casts 140 perfect type
a minute, and has a capacity of 225
different characters on the keyboard.
The main objection is that the govern
ment pays machine operators no more
than hand compositors, with a result
of not getting the maximum product
of the machines. However, the em
ployes detailed for machine composi
tion are turning out over 3,000 ems cf
matter an hour—an advaance over the
former "stint" of 6,400 ems per day
under hand composition.
What does congress thing about pro
hibition? Last week the house voted
down a proposition to provide prohi
bition in the District of Columbia, and
a few hours later refused to allow the
establishment of canteens in soldiers'
homes!
The number of two-cent-a-mile laws
passed by different state legislatures
would appear to prove that.the average
politician did like his free transporta
tion after all.
The infamous Thaw trial in New
York is followed closely by most
Washingtonians. There is altogether
too much of the same sort of thing go
ing on here at home, and it is to be
hoped that the exposes brought out at
that trial will be the means of pro
ducing some good results.
Was it premeditated or accidental
that employes of the government living
in the home districts of members of
congress received an increase in sal
ary and those employed at Washington
received nothing? The cost of living
has increased over fifty per cent in the
last ten years in the capitol city, and
compensations have remained the

The famous Grueby ware of America
is a semi-porcelain body decorated in
conventional floral designs suggestive
of the life and art of the ancient
Egyptians, the texture of the enamel
being as soft and smooth as dressed

Most of the ornamentation is in
relief, and it is all made by hand by
young women graduates of art and
normal schools in Boston. They also
reproduce the "crackle" ware similar
to that famous in old Corea.
In New Orleans the students and
graduates of the Sophie Kewcomb
