HART SIIRS UP A STORM

New York, February 19-Mutual respect for contractual and reservation rights, uniform playing rules; board of arbitra- tion consisting of equal representation of the National association on one side and the two major leagues on the other side; these are the main points that the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues will insist on at the com ing conference before the association, National and American leagues, regarding the drawing of a new national agree ment
 The members of the national board of the association completed their two days session today. The members of the Amer lean association gave consent to President Hickey to go to California with M. H. Sexton of the Western league, the two to act as a committee representing the national association and endeavor to es- tablish peace. On his way west, Presi- dent Hickey will stop in Chicago and have a conference with Lennon of St. Pau regarding tue proposed new American association team in Chicago. A draft of the proposed new national agreement was carefully gone over by the board today. It was finally decided that the national association would stand close to a resolu- ton adopted at the last annual meeting of the association which is in effect that in the event of a joint invitation being extended the national associa tion at any future time, to confer with the board of directors of the American league and the National league in the interests of tri- partite agreement the national board of the National Association of Professional leagues shall preserve to the association its present form of government and it's in- dividual organization, supreme and in- tact"
 The invitation sent out by James H. Hart of Chicago asking that a meeting the joint rules committee be held In nicago on Monday has stirred up a storm in the baseball circles Regarding the matter, President Powers tonight said:
 q have sent a reply to Hart stating that it will be impossible for me to attend the proposed Chicago meeting on Mon day. Tbere is some funny business going on somewhere, and l am getting tired of this thing.
 When President Johnson was in New York, President Pulliam of the National league and myself had a conference with him and he agreed that the meeting for an informal talk over the rules and new national agreement should be held in New York on Friday, the 20th. l am tired of running after Johnson and l don't pro- pose to do so any more I expect to meet him tomorrow and so does Pulliam"

Senator Fairbanks Wants Another Conference on Alaskan Question.

Washington February 19.-It is learned |, that Senator Fairbanks addressed Sir Wilfried Laurie- respecting a re-conven- ton of the joint high commission as re- ported in the Canadian dispatches in pur- suance of the programme outlined when the Alaskan boundary treaty was ratified. Sir Wilfried and Senator Fairbanks are respectively chairmen of the joint com mission, and when that body adjourned in 1900 1t was with the understanding that it could be reconvened only by the mutual agreement of the two chairmen Senator Fairbanks was trying to effect this re convention when he addressed Sir WI fried Laurier, but so far the answer of the latter to the invitation has not been re- ceived.
 The Alaskan boundary was the rock upon which the commission split at its last meeting. However the rule in such cases is to require the commission to ad- just all or none of the questions submit

BUILDING IS NEEDED.
Mir. Hepburn Has Conference Witt Secretary CorteIyou About Matter.

Washington, February 19.-Secretary Corteyou had a conference today with Representative Hepburn concerning a building for the department of commerce and labor. Mir. Hepburn is an earnest ad- vocate of the immediate authorization by congress of suitable building for the new department.
 He maintains that as the treasury is in possession of ample funds, it would be idle to postpone the preliminary arrange ments for proper building. Other mem- bers of congress who have discussed the matter with Secretary Cortelyou are of the same opinion. It Is expected that a determined effort is to be made to ob- tain from the present congress the neces- sary authorization for a new building.

form has been banned

Hazing in every form has been banned. and condemned. To play the old tricks is no longer venial and humorous of fense, but deliberate violation of known law and contemptible breaking of promises voluntarily made. In such cir cumstances no cadet is under the slight est obligation either to submit to hazing or to conceal the identity of those who attempt it. On the contrary. it is as much his duty to resist and prevent it by every means at his command-and they are entirely adequate-as he is to resist and prevent the picking of his pockets by an unworthy comrade. Haz- ing and theft are, indeed, on an equal moral ievel in both academies now, and certainly no cadet would feel himself dishonored if he brought to deserved punishment a thief who. by some strange chance. had strayed into that bright company of real gentlemen. Therefore, the boy who lets himself be hazed. who does not instantly report any attempt at 1t. lays himself open to the charge of sympathy with a disgraceful crime. and is himself not a bit better than his tor mentors.

called Concerning People Who Carry Weights in Life" The author went on to show that it was the extra weights some had to carry that made them lose the race of life. And it is these extra burdens which we can cast at the foot Of the cross and that make us labor and heavy laden Will you not accept the invitation of my text? Will you not live in the faith of that blessed promise and die in the hope as did the beautiful Princess Ellz- abeth. the daughter of Charles I. of Eng land. Upon her marble monument In New port church. erected by Queen Victoria, Is recorded the fact that she was one morn- ing found dead. with her head pillowed upon the open Bible and her fingers point ing to the simple words "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and l will give you rest" Today l urge upon you this wide invitation, with it's glorious promise. Christ bids you come with all your burdens and trials. and he will bear them for you. He offers you rest in this life, rest in death. and eternal rest beyond the grave Come unto him all ye who la bor and are heavy laden, and he will give you rest

One View of Hazinu.
he New York Times

From the New York Times.
 While the navy department authorities and President Roosevelt are considering the cases of the three Annapolis cadets just tried for hazing members of lower class, it might be worth while for them to give il thought or two to the question whether the time has come for dividing the responsibility. whether omenses of this sort come 10 light in either of the governments schools. and. instead of placing il all on the hazers. to give the hazees the full half that certainly be- longs to them. In other days, when the inficton is not too immoderate degree. of torture and humiliation by experienced upon inexperienced cadets was held to have some good effects. and. therefore. had official tolleration, if not a sort of official recognition, the newcomers were, of course. perfectly helpless in the hands of their tormentors, and there were fair ly good reasons why they should be held bound in boyish honor-a very different thing from real honor-not to reveal their sufferings. But all that is changed now.

When he was very sick some one came to him and said: My brother, how happy you ought to be that you may soon associate with the angels" Yes" an- swered the sick man, that may all be true. but as far as I can make out I would on earth for a little while at least rather associate with one woman of flesh and blood. called my wife, whom I know and love. than with any twenty angels with whom at the present time l am un- acquainted.
 The second ambition which nearly ev- cry healthy. normal man has Is not only to live long in all earthly sense. but some day to own a large home. in which he can gather all his children and grand children and friends and loved ones about him And If a man longs to have an earthly home. where he can collect his loved ones. how much more must the Christian long that in his heavenly home he may be able to collect all his dear ones. his children and brothers and sisters and narents and friends-those who are bound to him by ties of love as well as of blood There is not a true Christian man or wo- man who has not felt at heart the heavy burden of an unsaved child or relative or friend An. that is a heavy burden to bear, If would throw this meeting open to ask for requests for prayers from all

SALVATION ARMY

General William Booth, founder of
the Salvation Army has been making
converts during the last twenty years Of
his life, at the rate of 5000 year. For
the thirty-eight years prior to this period
it has been calculated by leading Saliva
tion Army authorities that the General
by his personal efforts alone, averaged
1000 converts each year, making total
of $4,000. This added to the converts
secured during the last twenty years,
gives grand total Of 13S, 900 converts to
the Generals personal credit.
"Of course these figures in no sense
cover the number Of converts secured to
and through the Salvation Army. In
the last ten years alone the Army has
recorded $4,000, 900 conversions through
out the world. In a sense il may be
said with truth that all these are General
Booths converts for they have had their;
religious feelings awakened and moved
by the organization he started and has
kept in an active state Of warefare for
nearly two score years"

NO PROSECUTIONS

The Grand Jury decided to
ignore the bills of indictment
which the Attorney-Ge had
laid before it charging seven cit
liens Of this county with partici-
pating in the rioting incident to
the lynching Of George White on
June 23d last, and one other citi-
zen with murder in the same con-
nection. This result was reach
ed after two days listening to
witnesses and full discussion
of the matter by the members of
the Grand Jury and must be TAX
en- as their mature judgement.
No one except the Grand Jury
knows what that evidence was
and all comment upon it's action
is therefore in the dark. The
Court and the Attorney-General
presented the matter to the
Grand Jury and SO far fulfilled
their duty. The Grand Jury is
entitled to the view that the mem
bers acted strictly upon the evi-
dence submitted and with a due
consideration of their oaths.
The case is now probably closed,
and it is to be hoped that the fu-
ture has not in store for this
county or state second such ex-
perience.
