Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-10-07

The fans of this city as we'll as all base ball enthusiasts throughout the state would like to see Dan Shannon a magnate in the Connecticut league. What's the matter with Dan getting a franchise for Waterbury and by taking in another good city in Massachusetts the league would be made all the stonger. er.--Bridegpo Farmer.
 Meriden friends of Louis Weisbeck- CT, the popular centerfelder of the Meriden base ball club, will be sorry to learn that he is very sick again with fever at Newark. Mrs Weisbecker, in a letter to a friend here, says that last week at one time he was not expected to live, and while he Is now somewhat better she is greatly worried about him.
 The Holyoke management early last week sent an offer to Roy E. Clark. the Holyoke fielder, who played bril- liant game for his services for next season. Clark, by agreement early in the season, when he signed for this season, was not to be reserved for next season by Bridgeport. This allowed the Holyoke management to enter into negotiations with Clark.
 Edward Walsh, Meriden's star twirl- CT of two seasons. has been drafted from the Newark club of the Eastern league, to which he was sold last July, to the Chicago club of the American league. Manager Conliskey of the Chicago team has sent to Manager Bnrnham the first check. but It has been returned hy the Jersey nlagnate. as he claims That Walsh cannot be

Royalty Gives Sanction to the Plan
for an Exclusive Automobile
Course in the Grunewald.
A Pathetic Story.
A SPECIAL AUTO ROAD
BY MALCOLM CLARKE.

Copyright, 9O3.)

BERLIN, Feb 7.-Advices from all
parts Of Europe indicate an extraordinary
increase of interest In the automobile.
The news from London that Mr.. Iabou-
chere is at the head OF movement to
raise the speed limit allowed these We
hicles is echoed here in no uncertain tones.
On most country roads. With cleaS
course and no danger from side turnings,
twenty five miles an hour Is not only
considered safe, but probably now would
not be seriously opposed by countrymen
and others who have no PERSONAL inter-
ests in automobiling.
The Kaiser himself has become one Of
the most enthusiastic users Of the au-
tomobile. He has just now approved
the plan of Herr Getner for an excl'l-
siye automobile course in the Grunewald
Reservation. All through Germany this
action on the part Of the Emperor IS
hailed with delight. Automobile sports
men, who have been prohibited from In
dulglng in fast riding and sporting con-
tests because OF the numerous laws In
terfering with them and the non existence
Of a good course, are agttatlnG these
matters in every way calculated to ia
vorably influence public opinion. VI
The new course will extend from Ber-
lin to Wetzlarer, and work upon it will
be begun at once. a delegation Of
prominent German nutomobllfsts has
gone to Paris to invest igate conditions
there with respect to the Grunewald
course. 1t is well known that the En-
peror is cnyious of the high record
made in France and does not want to
sec Germany remain behind the race
with that country and England. His
Majesty has several fast vehicles, all @,
which were made in Germany. He has
0ft = f1,o nf lon 4 hat
with proper facilities. German automobile
manufacturers would compete satsfac-
toriy with those Of France and America.
1t is settled that the pavement Of the
new course will be Of the most approved
kind. and 1t is understood that the Kais-
err will endeavor to have large interna-
tional competitions take place here.
Schwab, the detective employed by the
court Of snxony to watch the Crown

a pathetic story OF that part of the

lege OF seeing her children.
1t appears that the conditions of set
Element were not general nor gently pro-
posed. The Princess received, before
she left Geneva, her whole wardrobe and
personal belongings not included in the
crown jewels. Tho ultlmatum of King
George was to this effect:

GOVERNOR SCORES PEoNAGE.
Jelks of Alabama Sends Message T.
the LEGISLATURE.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 4.-Severe
censure of the practice of peonage and
the persons concerned in the case
recently brought to light in this state
is contained in the message Governor
Jelks has sent to the Legislature. The
governor says:
'In at least one locality in Alabama
several farmers have been working
men and women under guard without
legal authority to do so. One or more
of these offenders have been sinners
for a dozen years. They have acted
without the shadow of right and have
been plain violators of the state laws
The offense has been notorious in the
community and these criminals long
since should have been inmates OF the
penitentialy.
THAT good people surrounding them
allow a persistence in this evil doing
has focused on the whole state the at
tention of malevolent critics. These
farmer contractors had helpers in com
plaint justices and constables. The
latter were more guilty than the prin-
cipals. They basely betrayed a sol
emn trust"
In conclusion the governor ex-
pressed qualification that the offenders
had been brought to justice.

ment regarding the canal treaty. The

sponsibility for every representation
Of Mr.. Beaupre to the Bogota govern

action under the canal law. This gov
ernment will not indicate what its
course of action will be in the event
the treaty is rejected.

Line of Procedure Agreed On.
Lord Alverstone, after formally an
nouncing that the commission was IN

lected as president, an honor which he
highly appreciated, asked counSei
when they desired to begin the oral
arguments Sir Robert B. F1nlay, the
attorney general, in behalf of the Brit.
ish counsel, suggested that at least
two weeks would be required for
preparation, to which Judge John M.
Dickinson, representing the American
counsel, assented, though he said the
American counsel would be ready in a
week.
Lord Alverstone asked when the
oral arguments would be finished and
Attorney General Finlay suggested

and excluding Saturdays, and TO be in
session from II a. m. to p. m. daily,
and granted permission for limited

ments. the British opening and being
followed alternately by Americans
and British, the former securing the
advantage of delivering the closing

MAY RESTORE OLD FORTS.
Posts Kept In Repair Not Sufficien
for Army.

Washington. Sept 4.-The general
staff OF the army is considering the re
habilitation OF numerous forts and
posts in various parts of the country
hut mainly in the West. which have
been abandoned for many years. Be
fore tho war with Spain the army had
run down to less than $4,000 men Of all
branches of the service. There was nc
use for many Of the posts which had
been occupied. Now that the army
consists OF nearly 10000 men 1t has
been discovered that the posts which
have been kept in repair are not large
enough to accommodate the troops
comfortably and that other new posts
will have to be established or the old
ones repaired. The latter proposition
strikes the members of the staff as the
most economical.
