4 NATION-PROOF SALOON
The Scheme of a Kansas Man to
Defeat Crusaders.
Arrangements Made for . Boiler
Iron Joint on Wheels That VIII BE
Drawn From Place to Place by
Mules - Towns Where Smashers
Have Been Active to Be Visited.

WICHITA. Kan. Feb. pa small loom
has been ordered from an Eastern ma
| chine company by John Webster, refugee
''jointist" of Kansas. He will use the
iron room as joint.
Webster was the part owner of one OF
the joints smashed by Mrs. Nation, early
in her career. and he proposes TO give the
crusaders something they cannot smash.
Webster gays he intends TO locate the
joint at Florence, Kan, where he owns a
lot that is suitable for the purpose.
He will have a trap door in the on
floor of the room. and it will connect With
an underground passage leading 10 a
stable several hundred feet away. Through
the underground passage he will smuggle
liquor into the joint and take away the
empty kegs. 1t will also afford safe means
of exit should the crusaders build a FIRE
under his house on wheels. or attempt to
blow 1t up.
If Webster carries out his present in
tention he will buy four mules after the
joint has been completed, stock the house
on wheels with liquor. and go overland
over Kansas two months before he goes
to Flo. ence, selling as he goes. He be-
lieves that the novelty OF such an action
will carry him through in safety except
from the attacks of the crusaders, and
once inside the house he says he will not
fear them.
He has written to several Of the county
officials on the route apprising them of
his plan, but has received no responses
from them. II he is assured that he Will
not be arrested he will try the plan.

mean the death of prohibition in Kansas.
Inside of three months there will be
joints like this one ali over the State.
Crusaders will have nothing but dull
hatchets."
The boiler iron room will be constructed
for Webster just as he has ordered it. 1t
will be mounted on iron wheels. with wide
tires, and can be drawn by four mules.
Tho driver will handle the lines through
portfolio in the front end. When all tho
openings are closed the iron roOIn will
Withstand the attacks Of all the crusaders
in the State.
Work on the boiler iron joint will be
started within q short time. He has had
some trouble before, but nothing so seri-
Gus as when his place was attacked by Mrs.
Nation He believes that the great major
ity of people in Kansas do not sympathlze
with Mrs. Nation and her followers. He
owned joints In several towns.
Mrs. Nation is insane" he said, but
she has people following her and trying
to initiate her. She has succeeded in
stirring things up over there and nothing
but n Nation proof Joint will settle them
again into the old routine"
Webster's joint. wrecked by Mrs. Ma
tion, was located at Enterprise, and he.
lost several hundred dollars by the raid.
He was here today arranging his over
land route over Kansas, which will in
clude all places where raids have been
made by crusaders.

MACNATEs ORGANIZE
BRAND-NEW LEAGUE,
Minneapolis, st. Paul, Kansas City,
Omaha, Milwaukee, Indian

St Joseph, Mo-, Nov. ga new baseball
league, to take in Minneapolis. ST. Paul
Kansas City and Omaha in the West and
Milwaukee, indianapolis. Columbus and To-
ledo in the East, was formed here to-day
and the revolt of the Western League was
ended, an agreement having been reached
between President Hickey. w. T. Van
Brunt. owner Of the st. Joseph club. and
George Tebeau of Kansas City.
President Hickey will resign at the an
rual meeting of the league. to be held next
week, and his successor will be appointed.
Van Brunt will give up his st. Joseph fran
chise, since st. Joseph is to be placed In
the minor league. and Tebeau. it is said.
will go with the Denver team. Tebeau
agreed to sign a pledge not to employ a
single Kansas City player.
Distinct From Western.
The league formed to-day will be distinct
from the new Western League, as now
planned. and which is to comprise Denver.
Des Moines and probably Lincoln.
Messrs- Hickey, Van Brunt and Tebeau
were in conference for some time here to-
day. President Hickey said:
This new organization must not be con-
fused with the Western League, as il IS a
distinct organization entirely. A meeting
of the Western League will be held next
week, at which time the business of last
season will be closed up and my successor
elected
President Hickey said he would certainly
resign as president of the Western League
next week, but refused to say where the
meeting will be held. So far as he knows,
and so far as can be learned here to-day,
this ends the revolt.
Van Brunt, who headed the revolt, said
he would not stand in the way of President
Hickey's advancement, but seeing no op-
portunity to get st. Joseph into the larger
league, said he would have nothing more to
do with baseball.

"Young Corbett" Says McGovern
Is Only Human and Can Be
Knocked Out.
SAYS HE IS SURE OF WINNING.
Finishes His Training at Hartford,
and Weighs 125 Pounds
McGOyern in Excellent
Condition.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 26-Down TO night
ing weight, 125 pounds, and looking fit to
battle for his life, Jack" Rothwell, better
known as Young Corbett," of Denver, who
aspires to the feather-weight champion
ship of the world. finished his training to-
day in the Coliseum annex at Hartford for
Thursdays contest with Terry McGov-
ern. Stockily built, well muscled and with
a determined get-there way about him, the
little Westerner impresses one as a very
likely pugilist
In his sparring to-day, Corbett showed
that he has a thorough knowledge of the
finer. as well as the ooarser. points OF box
ing. He can fight scientifically if the occa-
sion demands. and In roughing tactics he Is
not found wanting. Built very much on the
order of McGovern. his general fighting
tactics suggest the Brooklyn Whirlwinds''
ring methods. He is aggressive, full OF con-
fidence and self-possessed. To-day, in speak
ing of the coming contest. he said:
When 1 strike out with either hand at
an opponent l always have my eyes open
and know just where l intend TO land
blow. / do not say that my aim is always
accurate, or that my opponent cannot
parry the lead. but l do know what 1 am
about.
Il am confident will win. have fought
and defeated every man that Terry has
scored victory over and in quicker time
than did McGovern.
.In almost every battle Terry has been
knocked down. and, In one or two in
stances. almost placed in a groggy condi-
tion- My record will not show many mar
row escapes knockdowns against me-
The conclusion is clear that McGovern can
be f1oored. He Is only human, and II bit
on the right spot with sufficient force, can
be knocked out Now, / believe that / can
strike a harder blow than any man that
McGovern has yet met: am also con-
vinced that at some period during Thurs
days battle he will leave an opening that
will permit of a demonstration of the cor
rectness Of my theory, and that will be
equal to the occasion"
Asked for an opinion as to the probable
length of the battle, Corbett said:
IF he fights me cleverly It may go the
limit; if he decides to rough it. L don't
It lasts there will be plenty of fighting and
any man who bets on me Will get run for
his money"
