! WHAT PEOPLE SAY !

Marshal Grant, am told by the city
officials that dumping" ground will
be provided in a very short time. When
this is done then shall proceed to clean
up the city of the rubbish that filters
the streets and alleys. AS long as there
is no place to dump this refuse 1t will be
impossible to enforce the law. The
situation is just such that if John Jones
sweeps his own doorstep there is no
place to put the sweepings but on the
doorstep of his neighbor. With the
refuse of this town, everybody, almost,
have notified us to "keep Off" We
could burn the paper, of course, but
loose paper on the streets gives the least
concern. As soon as the ground is
secured, which will not be long, l shall
push the work just as rapidly as possible.
The city needs a general cleaning, and
after it is once done the property own
ers must do their own "renovating.
So
G. 5. Holmes-The price of potatoes
is still going up. For first-class tubers
1923 per ton is being paid. don't look
for any drop until some time after the
new potato has been put on the market.
There Is still a steady demand, and as
the supply decreases of course the price
increases, and those who are still holding
will get the top notch price. The Cali
fornia new potato will be ready for ship
ment about May /. This will not reduce
/ the price much at first, because old
spuds will be in demand for some time
after the new ones are put on the market.

though the son of Crown Prince would even
outdo Dan Patch's performance. The pace,
however. was too much for Ana conda and
Prince Alert came home an easy winner In

likely that he would have come pretty close

old figures The Kenner stakes were the
feature Of the days racing, which was wit

Pentecost, Whskey King, Arsenal and

the favorite, with Mr. Follansbee's KEY

GRAND CIRCUIT CYCLERS.
"Major" Taylor outrode Kramer in
Chief Event.

The national circuit championship BIZ
cycle races at the Hartford Avenue Coli
seum Baltimore, last night attracted about
1900 people, despite the threatening
weather, which showed that cycle racing
is still popular.
Last nights program was made up en-
tirely of sprint races, the racers being the
crack sprint riders of the country.
Major Taylor, the diminutive negro rider,
won the big event of the night and de-
feated his strongest rival for the national
championship, Frank L. Kramer. The race
was at two miles.
Taylor qualified first in his trial heat,
first in the semi-fnal and won the final,
Kramer won first in his trial heat, second
In the semi-final and was second in the
final
The heats, as well as the final, were rid
den slowly, except in the final spurts, which
were not more than two or three laps long.
The next event in Importance was the
halfmile championship handicap. 1t was
won by ]. p Jacobson who had a handi-
cap of forty-five yards. Taylor looked to
be winner in this final, but the other
eight riders succeeded in keeping him
pocketed, and the best he could do was to
finish in fourth place.

"Pop" Anson on the Situation.

Brush and Freedman appear to be the
only old league magnates who are adverse
to peace said the veteran Anson in Chi
cago recently. Brush loves to have a
fight on his hands, and as it is no longer
costing him anything since he sold out the
Cincinnati club he will be better warrior
now than ever before.
But he has no assurance of success, for
the internal fight in the National League is
again bobbing up, and who knows what
may happen ere next spring? 1t would not
be at all surprising if Mr.. Brush found
himself ousted from the league committee,
for he will have more opposition than ever
before, and 1t will be of a more deter
mined and stronger nature.
1t Is not violating any secret to say
that several of the National League cluo
owners are much pleased with the exit
of Brush from Cincinnati, as are Cincin-
natians. If one could peep into certain
letter files evidence to this effect could be
produced. But to get back to that peace
talk Peace is bound to come ere next
spring, but it will have to be secured along
honorable lines, and any scheme calculated
to crush the American League out of exist
ence is bound to fail. That organization
is established. II has a large following
and has done much good for base ball,
which will show itself more forcibly after
the war than at the present time"

C. ]. ALLEN AND WIFE SHOT.
Prominent Citizen of Tampa Killed by

and his wife were fatally shot Today by
Manuel Chavez one of the weaIthiest and
most prominent young members Of the Gu
ban colony here. Allen died this afternoon
and Mrs. Aliens death is only a question
of time.
Many conflicting accounts Of the tragedy
are current, but the one generally believed
is that Allen returned home Unexpectedly
and found Chavez in his home and that he
assaulted Chavez. striking him a terrific
blow in the mouth. Chavez then drew a
pistol and began to fire. One bullet struck
Allen in the left side, another in the mouth
and the third in the abdomen after passing
through the body Of Mrs. Allen who rushed
between the men in an effort to separate
them. The shooting Of Mrs. Allen is be-
lieVed To have been entirely unintentional
Immediately after the shooting Chavez
rushed from the house bareheaded and dis
appeared in his buggy that was standing at
the back gate. He subsequently surren-
dered to the sheriff.
An effort was made to get him released
