Towards version of the shooting ARRAY

PIayinE Manager wanted.


All that remains to insure Council Bluffs
retaining Its franchise in the IowaASouth
Dakota league will be the ability of the
men backing the proposition to secure n
good and reliable p-layer-manager. At the
meeting last evening In the Commercial
club rooms the committee which has the
matter in hand our tina over $500
of the required 1900 had been subscribed
and that there would be no doubt about
the financial end. The men backing the
proposition are willing to go ahead and put
up the necessary money to start the team
out again on a sound basis provided they
can secure some player who can also act
as manager OF the team.
In the event OF Council Bluffs retaining
the team and franchise. the team will
start out afresh next Saturday and the
percentages up to date will be wiped out.
This has been promised by the other towns
in the league, which are DESTROYS Of as
sistlng Council Bluffs in every way to keep
in the game.
The team which started out as the Coun-
ell Bluffs aggregation will play Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in LIE
Mars and open under the new management
II the proposition goes through, in Sioux
Falls Saturday.
As the matter now stands It will have
to be determined Friday at the latest
whether Council BLUFFS retains the team
and its franchise in the league.

MITCHELL is DISAPPOINTED
Labor Leader, However, still Expects
to Find Some Way out of
Difficulty.

SCRANTON, Pa. June 15.-The United
Nine Workers convention, called for the
purpose of taking action on the refusal
OF operators TO recognize District Presidents
Fahey, Nichols and Dettry as the miners
representatives o the Cancellation board,
was called to order here today.
President Mitchell. who was unanimously
chosen chairman, in addressing the con-
~vention, said:
1t is needless to say that the refusal Of
the mine owners to live up to the award
OF the strike commission is a decided dis
appointment to me.
We intend to live up to every letter OF
the award, and, therefore, IL is not I'M
reasonable for us to expect the other side
to live up to 1t. 1t is a grave question
which confronts us. The time Is here
when we must again decide upon a spe-
cine policy toward our employers.
l might say, for myself, hat / am hopeful
we may find an honorable way out OF the
calamity. The commissions award was not
q great financial victory for US, but II was
a great moral victory. We can AFFORD to
hear our disappointment and live up to the
aHard.

Scene of the POstOmce Scandal IL
Shifted to New York
City.

NEW YORK. June 15.-Developments Of
great interest in the Investigations OF the
postofice scandals are expected here this
week.
The many inspectors sent from Wash
ington pursued their inquiries with evident
haste all day yesterday and the signs are
many that the crisis is soon to come.
Rumors of action by the grand Jury and
Of impending arrests were heard In the
hotel corridors and wherever politicians
gathered and talked of the postofice mat
tiers, the political Importance of which they
recognize fully.
The federal grand jury for the June term
is to meet on Friday, and rumor has It that
various charges affecting the postofice will
be presented to II then.
WASHINGTON, JLne 15.-The chief post
ofice inspector, Mr.. Cochran, today re-
turned from New York, where he went in
connection with the Investigation of post

ture of his mission, but say that the pub
lished reasons for his trip are not correct.
Inspectors were busy today In the ONCE Of
the assistant attorney general for the Posts
office department., continuing the overhaul
Ing OF the records.
II 10 PROBABLE that one OF the ultimate
results of the investigation will be the
adjustment Of the Office of the postonice
physician on the ground that there is no
authority In law for the employment OF
such an officer. Their employment at
Washington and New York already has at
tracted attention. There are five postofices

CHANNEL WHARF CAN
Be USED TEMPORARILY

Captain White OF the Naval Station
yesterday received from the Navy De-
partment in Washington a cablegram
modifying the former order to the ex-
tent that the Territory is allowed TO
use the Channel wharf until further
orders arrive. The Territory will be
allowed the use Of the wharf only and
not the land adjoining the wharf. Cap
tain white will also allow shippers to
use the roadway leading to the wharf
for the transportation Of freight. While
this modification has the effect to leave
matters practically in the same state
as formerly 1t effectively knocks in the
head any proposition to erect an i'm
migration station by the wharf. No
further details were given concerning
the length Of the temporary period In
which the use of the wharf is allowed.
1t is the most probable theory that the
matters will remain unchanged until
the Quarantine people erect their new
wharf by Mauliola Island, onto which
will be removed the fumigating plant
immigration quarters, etc, which are
now on the Channel wharf II is need
less to say that the shipping world here
is considerably relieved by the lates,
development of this affair.
