Startling Story About Hart and John

Baltimore. Feb. 12-It has just leaked
out here that Ban Johnson has had a
conference with Jim Hart of the CHI
cagO National league team for the pur-
pose of devising a modus vivendi be-
tween the two leagues, Hart having
been officially authorized to meet the
American league president. The two
magnates after an extended conference
came into an agreement and the terms
upon which the two associations are to
live in comfy have been put in writing.
Mr.. Hart is to present them at the
league meeting for confirmation, and one
of the purposes of Ban Johnson's propos-
ed swing around the circuit of the Amer
lean league clubs has been to explain the
terms to them and get their approval
McGraw and Connie Mack have had
little conference OF their own and Mack
seems to be well disposed toward the ar
rangements.
All of the clubs of both associations
have typewriter copies OF the articles
but are jealousy guarding the terms W.
til they have been acted upon. 1t is N
dersfoods however, that they are in mary
respects similar to the articles of agree
ment between the league and old asso-
citation, except that the American league
is tc be on an equal footing practically
with the National.

STREET CARS FOR LAWRENCE,
L N. Erb Promises to Put IN a
Trolley Line.


Lawrence, Feb. 12.-The question of
granting a franchise to L. M Erb, of
New York, for constructing an electric
street railway, was before the city coun-
ell last night. The proposed franchise
was read and seemed quite liberal max
ing, Of course, the usual Stipulations for
the protection Of streets, pavements ard
all public rights. A definite time limit
was also made.
TIE work must be begun by August 1,
1901, and line connecting the Union Pa
cific depot to Haskell and the Santa Fc
depot to the university must be compile
ted within g. year from that time The
franchise seemed to meet with the ap-
prevail of the council and q special meet
ing was called for next Monday evening
at which definite action will be taken.
Mr. Erb was called upon for q speech
and his remarks had good effect on the
council. He said that he had had the
matter under consideration for some
time and would have begun operations
several years go If he could have maGe
suitable arrangements with Mr.. Bower
sock for the removing of his mule car
tracks. Mr.. Erb said that he had the
money ready to invest as soon as the
franchise is granted and that there viii
be no bonds mixed up in it. He said
that he had everything in shape before
coming to Lawrence as he knew that h.
would not receive any encouragement
unless he did.
Mr.. Erb will stay in the city until the
next meeting of the council after which
he says he hopes to return with the
franchise in his pocket.
