nounced that he has assurances from IA
Dor leaders of weight throughout the
South to the effect that they would sup
port such a radical step The Southern
branches Of the decorations complain that
their brethren in the North and East are
suprcmely indifferent to their fate. after
fees and fines have once been covered IN

Another prime factor in the movement
is the color question. Under the rules OF
the National organization negroes are adj
mitted on an equal footing with the whites.
The recent troubles from this source all
over the South have intensified the feel
lngs against affiliation with negroes. and
an association is demanded which domi-
mates white men solely. The relations OF
the races In the South make any other ar
rangement impossible. For some time
lowering, who is Northern man. has been
communicating with heads OF labor unions

are the negotiations that a convention for
the organization of the projected ass0cia-

few days. The convention Will be held In
this city, and delegates from every white

tioally left to the press and public. for de-
clsion The stockholders of the club have en-
deayored to be wholly guided by these fac
tors in the disposition of the case. IL is the
desire of the club to do that which the public
desires, and the opinion of the majority Of
the stockholders is that the patrons of base

of that belief the directors have decided not
to renew the contract which Arson has just
terminated.
Arson has served the club long and faith
fully and 1t is with a feeling of the deepest
regret that circumstances are such that he
will sever his connection with the club. Per-
sor.ly. have the highest regard for him.

character in the sporting world. | consider
HIN the best individual sportsman in the

with the fullest'measure OF success in any en-
torprise he may engage in There is not now
and never has been any friction between Cap
tain Arson and myself. have conducted my
end OF the business without interference from
him. and he has conducted his end of the
business without interference from me. The
