CONFUSION COMPOUNDED
 BASEBALL MUDDLE THICKENED
MT. SemmeS Wires Judge Kavanaugh That He Will
 Stand on Palmer and DinkinS Report

Yesterday morning there seemed to be a rift In the dark, dismal baseball clouds that. like a wet blanket. have for several months past folded the local fans and by its clinging sog- giness taken all the baseball heart encour- agement and enthusiasm out Of them. The visit of Judge Kavanaugh to Montgomery Wednesday and his efforts to straighten out the local franchise mudde came like the glint of a wee beam of sunshine struggling through the angry storm, and things seemed brighter with decided fragrant whiff of olive branches lowering over the unsavory atmosphere. It seems now. however, that any mention of the word ''peace'-an article of raiment thor oughy unknown in the present baseball annals of Montgomery-would be a piece of sarcasm of purest ray serene.
 Judge Kavanaugh stated to The Advertiser that the report signed by Palmer and Dink- ins was not legal and would not even be con- sidered. The letter from Judge Kavanaugh to MT. Palmer, which was published in yester- days Advertiser explained in full Judge Kav- anaugh's reasons for his decision on the H. read by everybody in Montgomery interested in baseball affairs-it was clear and concise and is so fresh in the minds of the public that there is no reason to repubish it at this time Judge Kavanaugh also stated to the parties interested in the local franchise and to The Advertiser that Mir. Dinkins was not eligible under the New Orleans agreement to serve as a member of the Arbitration Committee.
 During a conference between Judge Kava- naugh and Messrs. Semmes and Ragland Judge
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-02-13

kavanaugh submitted a proposition as follows: Mir Semmes to select an entirely dis interested citizen of Montgomery. MT Rag land to do the same and those two to select third disinterested Montgomery man. their de- cision as to where the games should be played this Summer to be final MT. Ragland agreed to this proposition, but Mir. Semmes told Judse Kavanaugh that he could not give an answer right then and would telegraph his answer ne- fore o'clock Thursday afternoon. Last nisht The Advertiser asked MT. Semmes II ne nah answered Judge Kavanaugh's proposition.
 Yes" said Mr. Semmes, T telegraphed my answer to Judge Kavanaugh at clock tnls afternoon, telling him that after consuita- tion. we had decided to stand on the Palmer Dinkns report" Continuing MT. Semmes asked where the information came from m The Advertiser yesterday morning that IL looked pretty certain that unless there was an agreement soon the franchise would be taken away from the present holders and other dis- position made of it. MT. Semmes was told that the statement was merely a personal opinion of the writer. framed on the common sense view of the matter. and was by no means an official statement or opinion of anyone in au- thority.
 Just what will be done now 1t is impossible to even surmse. Judge Kavanaugh mas ai- ready stated that the Palmer-Dinkins report not valid and would not be considered and MT. Semmes telegraphs him that he would stand on that report Some interesting devei- opments reasonably looked for today-some- thing that will be extremely interesting to all parties concerned Squire Brown.

utive session.
 The Governors message recommended legislation looking to the establishment of uniform system of text books for the schools of the State. and action enlarg- ing the powers of the Railroad Commis- sion.
 University Trustees Confirmed.
 The Senate also confirmed the appoint ment by the Governor of Hon. T. M. Stevens of Mobile, and Hon. E. W. Cole man of Anniston as Trustees of the State University.
 On reconvening in regular session Sen ator Thomas of Barbour, delivered a forcible speech against the salary in crease bill. He was in hearty sympathy with the proposal to raise the salaries of the judges, but in view of the provision of the Constitution touching the matter. he said he could not support the present bill. He was at a loss to understand why the Constitution-m makers should not have incorporated in that document the words necessary to make such action legal If they had 50 intended. He assailed wig orously the arguments put forward by Senators Morrow, Blaokmon and No Smith.
 That section of the Constitution" he said, "limits the power of this body in this matter. It says clearly that we shall not increase the salaries of these officials while they are in office. When these of ficers entered upon their offices they did so with the salary expected fixed, and the purpose of the clause in question was to prevent a horde of hungry officers from forever lobbying at the Capitol for an increase of salary. It is better that they should now go without increased salaries than that we should commit our selves to an unconstitutional proposi- ton"
 Lone Populist Speaks.
 Then Senator Hurst of Etowah. the lone Popuhst spoke.
 There is something wrong either with the Constitution, the English language or these lawyers" said Senator Hurst, in explaining why he would be compelled to vote against the measure
 Senator Hogue spoke at considerable length against the bill, but the Senators, fat:gued already with too much debate were little inclined to listen.
 Senator Powelrs amendment was with drawn and Senator Bullock's amendment was tabled. The vote was then taken, the bill passing 19 to !.
 After announcements of various com mittee meetings for the afternoon the Senate adjourned until 1O:so o'clock to- day.

Kocian Wizard of the Violin.

Says the New York Herald: Herr Kocian charmed New York concert geers. and his debut before an audience of great size stamped the new virtuoso as an emphatic success. It needed only five minutes to establish for him sympa- thetic relations with his hearers who listened to him first dispassionate tely, then with growing attention. and finally with enthusiasm. His success was the tri- umph of still, small voice which speaks from his violin with quiet insistence and great purity of things, poetic and intellec- tual.
 There can be no doubt of the pleasure the musical public will derive from the appearance of Kocian here on Thursday evening. February 19, at the Montgomery adv
