ON A BUSINESS BASIS
w. II. Lucas q Baseball Magnate. Now
in Salt Lake, Promoting the
Scheme.

w. HI. Lucas, one of the baseball mag
mates who hav been casting their eyes
Salt backwards for the past few weeks,
arrived In Salt Lake yesterday from
Portland. and started quietly to work en-
the league proposition hat is planned for
the dedication of local fandom the COM
ing summer. His plans says the Salt
Lake Herald are yet largely in a forma-
tive stage. but there is enough certain to
give the fans the assurance that they will
see far better baseball his summer thai
they have for many years.
1t will be baseball of the kind tina is
played by all the minor leagues through
out the country, and, as the plans are laid
at present, it wll be a little better than
many of the leagues furnish.
For some years the baseball seasons To-
cally have mot been as satisfactory as
they might nave been. There have been
good players and good mines, but there
has been no organized system to it, and
the playing has, consequently, been err
ratio.
Mr.. Lucas plans to change all this. His
league is to be organized on a business ba-
sas, under the national agreement, and
players of reputation are to be put on
the mines. The result is bound to mean
better baseball for the fans, and more en-
th.siasm for the sport among the general
public. There will be a stability about
the game guaranteed by the national
agreement that will raise the sport con-
siderably in the eyes Of even the most
lukewarm enthusiasts.
With affairs in the present uncertain
state, Mr.. Lucas does not care to disclose
his fun plans. but he wants 1t understood
that he is not antagonizing any of the
local railroad mines. 1T is far from my
Intention to antagonize anybody" said
he. Mr.. Sullivan and I merely desire to
form a league that will insure good base
ball for Salt Lake and for the other
cities concerned in the propositions. We
will begin our season about May Is, and
will play throughout the summer. We
will have all of our players flrst-class
men, and will give as warm an article OF
ball as is played in any of the minor lea

Strained Relations with Turkey.

The bill which the United States has
against Turkey for the outrages of its Off
Gals upon our missions and missionaries,
will have to be settled in short order or
diplomatic relations between the two
countries will be broken off. That course
viii not be likely to produce the one hun
dred thousand dollars which the Sultan
has repeatedly promised to pay; but it
may open the way TO some further action
which might possibly bring Abdul Hamid
to terms.
We c5u,s shell his port of Smyrna, and
take posse ssion of the custom house at
that place, by way of collecting the debt.
England probably would not object nor
would Russia. After we landed we might
have some trouble, because Turkey has
a remarkably good army and might attack
us. There is one other consideration which
would affect our course in the matter
People at home here perhaps have not yet
begun to realize that the United States
is Mohammedan as well as other kinds
Of a power. The Philippine archipelago
comprises many islands inhabited by fol-
lowers Of the Prophet, and it might be
possible for the Sublime Porte to raise
them in rebellion against our Government
by declaring a holy war; against the
Outstanding and missionarying Yam
KEGS. 1t would not do for Mr.. Hay to ex-
plain to the Sultan that Sulu is not part
of the United States. The Sultan would
laugh him to scorn.
In these circumstances it is doubtful
if the Administration can do anything
beyond making faces at Turkey. On the
their hundred thousand dollars. and it
is desirable that they should get the
money. This is Presidential year.
Obviously there is an eligible opportunity
for the display of some splendid diplom-
acy."

A MOVE TO GUST GATES.
Steel md Wire stocks MAY He Taker
on the List.

CHICAGO. April 1S.-A movement IL
under way it is stated to GUST John W.
Gates from the management of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company. The prin-
cipa step in this direction according to re-
ports. is petition to the governing COM
mittee of the New York Stock Exchange
asking that the wire securities be taken
on the stock list. unless John ". Gates Ia
deposed as manager of the trust. Accord
ing to private wire advices the petition Is
now being circulated and Is receiving
many signers- Brokers are indignant over
what they call the "scandalous manipula-
ton" of the wire securities
The special meeting OF the stockholders
OF the American Steel and Wire Company
VIII be held the latter part of this week
in Chicago. Upon official information /. Is
stated notices have already been mailed.
The purpose of the meeting is not known.
but IL is believed the management and
policy of the company will be under con-
sideration, and the recent shutting down
OF the mills investigated. The calling OF
a special meeting OF the stockholders at
this time is deemed significant
Reports of division of sentiment among
the officers OF the company continue
President Lambert Is quoted as SAYING
that the company made sl3.cHo 600 in net
profits last year and stood a good show of
making s2o.eC0co0 this year Yet Mr. Gates
is quoted as saying that the iemand for the
products of the wire company is not within
80 per cent Of What 1t should be. 1t was
reported today that ]. W. Gates yesterday
wired several Chicago friends to buy wire
certificates. few acted on this advice.
but today the wire stocks again showed
weakness.
President John Lambert Announced that
probably all the mills which the American
Steel and Wire Company has shut down
will be reopened soon-possibly within
fortnight From other sources it is limited
that the plants will resume operations az
early as next Monday. This but goes to
confirm the suspicion that there is nothing
serious the matter with the steel business.
that the closing down was but part of a
stock jobbing deal.

can suggest Joking aside. there Is no reason
why women should not have athletic clubs,
and there Is every reason to suppose that, on
general principles. they will be beneficial.
No one will deny that an active out-of-door
life is good for women as well as for men.
Even in the days when it was not consid-
cred ladylike to do many things which the
modern woman does without question,
ladies INDUCED in riding on fox hunts.
though hampered by the unwieldly riding
skirt, which made injury in case of a fall
almost certain. There is nothing whatever
in the exercise of the modern gymnasium
which will be as injurious to womankind as
running a sewing machine all day and half
the night, or carrying a heavily-loaded
tray. or dancing in over-heated rooms for
hours after the nerves demand rest. II
woman can do all the things they have
done without question. and survive 1t with
out absolute wreckage of their health. they
can surely take reasonable amount of ex-
ercise, under scientific guidance and not
lose either health or beauty.
There is no reason, either. why a woman
is obliged to be out late at night in dan
gerous neighborhood. No girl will be less
feminine for being able TO run away from
ruffian or resist his attack without fainting
until assistance arrives.
The fact is that there is a great deal of
nonsense talked in discussing this ques-
ton, especially on the anti-athletic side
NO one need fear that women's colleges
will form football teams or train pugilsts
or acrobats, or that the feminine athletic
club will be the scene of sparring matches.
But a knowledge of gymnastic exercises
will be of inestimable value to those who
are engaged in sedentary occupation. and
need more diversion than they can get in
walking to and from an Office, or doing en-
broidery and dressmaking at home.
woman need not be a semi-invalid in or
der to be woIlanly, and if the home makers
and mothers of the present generation are
strong. active. and full of life and spirits,
the American people in the coming century
will be stronger, saner, and more ener-
getic people. Melancholia, nervous excita-
bility. and half the perverted morality and
intellectual decadence of the day can be
traced to physical disorders of one kind or
another, most of them due to unnatural
conditions of life. Nobody can be perfect
ly healthy cooped up in building which
is not well ventilated and lighted. and lead
ing sedentary life which makes ceaseless
drains upon the nerves and vitality. 1t is
inevitable that many occupations of mod
ern life should involve this strain upon the
