HART Is IN FAVOR OF
RESPECTING CONTRACTS

When James A. Hart, president OF
the Chicago National League Baseball
club. heard yesterday of the letter
which President p. T. Powers. of the
National Association of Baseball
leagues, had sent out asking the Ma
tional and American leagues to re-
spect contracts. he announced at once
that he was in full accord with the
views held by Mr.. Powers.
al have always wished to respect
contracts and reserves" said the head
of the Chicago club. Il never thought
it was right to disregard other con
tracts, and the Chicago club would
have respected all such instruments
this season. 1t has always done so and
it will continue in the same way. 1t
is aways the best policy to be honor
able in all kinds of bu siness, and
baseball is no exception. If other
people do not respect our contracts
we cannot help that. but it does not
prevent us from respecting the con-
tracts of others"
Charley Comiskey, president of the
American league club, was not so
positive in his statements as was Mr.
Hart. but he said that wherever pos
sible contracts and reserve lists
should be given consideration

PIONEERS PRIZE CANE
AS HISTORIC RELIC,

Among the archives at the court
house and in the custody of the pres
ident of the interested association, is
a relic which is greatly cherished by
the pioneers of this co UNITY, and es.
Pecially so by the mem bers of the Old
Settlers association of Rock Island
county. The relic is a hardwood
cane, and valued perhaps at $500.
The cane was presented to the Old
Settlers association of this county by
BaileyDavenport. o. four gold bands
the names of the donor aud the name
of every president Of the association
since 1866 are engraved. These
bands, after the first one, have been
added from time to time, as necessary.
The cane is handsome and occupies
q conspicuous place at every annual
meeting of the old settlers.
The cane has a large gold head, the
bands serve as tablets for the names
of the lead officials of the association
The wood in the cane came from
the old residence of Col. Davenport,
on Rock Island. and the son, in present.
ing the cane to the association, caused
lasting remem brance of Col. Daveu-
port and the donor to have place
among the pioneers of this section of
the sta'e.
The cane bears the names of the
presidents of the association up to
1900. the name of Judge Searle, who
was elected 81 the recent meeting of
the body, not yet being engraved
thereon.
