 WAUGH. Houston, Galveston and Dallas Tex az and Mobile Have Applied for Franchise Tut Circuit Will
 Remain the Same.

Memphis, Tenn. Nov. n.-(Special. J. W. M. Kavanaugh, president of the Southern Baseball League, has given out information, semi-offlcial in character which indicates that aplications for fran chises in 19O4Southern League circuit from parties living in Houston, Galveston and Dallas. Texas. and Mobile, Ala, will be tabled for future consideration. Presi- dent Kavanuagh states that there will be no change in the present league circuit next year, and those applying for mem bership will be forced to wait till the 1905 baseball season for any encouragement The annual meeting of the Southern League will be held next month in New Orleans. There was some talk of Dallas and Houston, taking the places of Little Rock and Shreveport in the west, and Mobile replacing Montgomery in the east ern wing of the league, but according to the presidents statement today there Is no possible chance for a change in the membership as 1t stands until another season ends.

A BEAR ONSLAUGHT
EFFORT TO BREAK DOWN COT.
 TON PRICES
Holders Can Fix the Values Here after if They Choose to Do So-Explanation of Move
 ment Yesterday.

New York, Nov. i1.-(special.)-A bear combination here which has been aggres- sively selling since the market was two cents lower, made up a pool to break the contract market just before closing today, the purpose being to weaken Southern spot holders and demoralize Liverpool. It remains to be seen whether this cote rie can dictate the price to those who made the crop. This substantially is the situation at the moment and we feel 1t our duty to apprise the South of the fact herein stated. All Southern markets are one-eighth to one-fourth higher, but this onslaught on contracts here, notwith- standing, has been made to give a bet ter average for them because of heavy sales at very much lower prices. Those South who own the unsold portion of the crop can fix the price hereafter. The question Is, will they allow a few men here to fix 1t for them?

policy on their part to remain quiet for

lhe revolution, he said, was caused by
the advancement of modern police
methods. The very Municipalities of
specialtles to which attention has
already been called, like one man being

Dagger, another housebreaker, and
so on, leads to the detection of crime.
lhe inspector explains it in this wise:
III a clever piece of forgery has been

SO the first thing we inquire is: Who
are the expert forgers out of the peni-
tenharles" There are only few of
them IN the country, and we easily To-
cate those that were near the scene of
the crime at the time it was committed.
linen we fit in the clues So it is with
other kinds of crime. You see police
methods have become science and we
are now in such close touch with the
police forces of other cities that all the
rogues are known, and it is pretty hard
1or them to escape. For instance, every
counterfelter has his own peculiar
style OF execution, just as an artist
mas and the moment a bogus note gets
INTO circulation the experts know who
made it.
IF you will look over the criminal
records you will find not only every
crooks picture, but you will see full
report OF his speciality and his methods
OF work. We know them all like books,
and generally can put our hands on
them when we want them. So, you see,
under the circumstances it does not
pay for good men to remain in the busi-
ness. The kinds of crooks, however,
VINO have not degenerated, are the
wire tappers-that is, the men who tap
the wires and get race information, so
as to beat the poolrooms-and the
steerer' to the brace faro games.
Ihis crook is of higher type than the
old style confidence man. He must
dress well and hang about the hotels so
as to create the impression that he is
gentleman of leisure in order to en-
snare the real gentlemen into little
private game But even he finds it
necessary to keep on the move, for
every large hotel keeps its own detec-

Il will tell you of one class of swim

who is very difficult to dislodge, and
that is the 'get-rich-quick' man. He es-
