Reform School Scandal.

The Legislature will doubtless ap.
point a committee to investigate the
charge of uncomfortable practices
among the pupils at the State Reform
School, at Chehalis. It is said that such
acts have been made possible by the
"job-system," the entrusting OF care OF
the younger inmates to older boys
whose terms were soon to expire, under
pay, to afford them some means OF sup
port on going out into the world, until
they might be able to secure work OF
some kind. 1t also saved the expense
of hiring extra employees. This plan,
however, virtually removed the wards
from that strict surveillance contem-
plated in all reformatory institutions.
1t seems that the matter was, some
time ago, brought to the attention OF
the Board of Control, and enough evil
dence was obtained to sustain the
charge. The job system" was then
discontinued, and the offenders were
severely punished by use OF the rod and
confinement in the dungeon on bread
and water diet.
1t is said that majority OF the rep
resentatives present from Lewis coun-
ty, where the school is situated, do not
favor investigation by a legislative
committee. They seem to think that
all has been done which can be reason
ably required for suppressing the evil.
The practices complained of are,
however, a crime under the law, and it
seems specially desirable that the full
truth should be uncovered so as to
provide rigid means of enforcement Of
adequate penalties for transgression Of
divine command as we'll as earth-m
laws.

PROGRAM, IS VARIED.
Number of Interesting Events Will
Be Seen at Y. M. G. a.
Carnival Tonight.
Mallett, the Fencing Champion, Will
Meet Five Amateurs in Hand
leap Bout.

The gymnasticr carnival to be held at
the Y. M. G. A. this evening promises
to be well attended. AS number Of the
events scheduled for the evening will be
competitive, great interest is being taken
in the carnival and DR.. Weston the ply
steal instructor, is confident that snug
sum will be realized for the summer camp
fund. ~
In the fencing contests, which will be
one of the fea lures of the evening, some
Of the best amateurs in the city will try
conclusions with Arthur B. Mallett, the
northwestern champion, who has agreed
to meet any five amateurs in the twin
cities and scoring three points against
each adversary before his opponent counts
once. Already six men have accepted the
challenge, but as Mr.. Mallett has agreed
to meet only five, one Of these challenges
will be thrown out. -."s -. 20
H. c. Hirschey, the champion wing
shot of America, knight, Tanner, Hughes,
Corson and Newton comprise the six
fencers who wish to try conclusions with
the champion. One of the recent additions
to the already well fined program will be
a thrce-round sparring bout between De-
tect1ve Gallagher and DR.. Weston. AS the
latter will be handicapped by over, fifty
pounds in weight, the chances are that the
physical instructor will be decisively out
pointed by his big opponent. l. = 80:
Another event which promises to prove
Of considerable interest will be the tug
Of war between the Y. M. c.. A. team of
giants and the Metropolitans, who won the
championship in a rent competition. Club
swinging by class of girls from the Y.
w. G. A. and the appearance Of Miss Hull
da Sweet, the st. Paul expert, in the
fencing events, will be appropriate num-
bers for the women members of the au-
dience. The carnival will be held in the
auditorium. -~

NO MORE HIGH SALARIES
Baseball Stars May Expect Big Cut
When Their Present Con-
tracts Expire. .

The present season will put an end to
the era Of big salaries for baseball play
ers. Those players who were fortunate
enough to have made three or four-year
contracts before the baseball war was ter
minated will continue for a time to reap
the profits of their thrift and foresight,
but all who make new contracts from
now on will have to submit to radical cuts.
Some Of the salaries to be paid this year
are up In the five figures. The $4,000
which were necessary to secure Willie
Keeler for the New York Americans from
Brooklyn is without precedent in the his
tory of the game. It is not only the high
est salary ever received by ball player,
but is, in fact, more money than was paid
out in salaries to entire teams twenty
years age. ...
| Patsy Donovan, the star outfielder
and captain of the st. Louis Cardinals, is
another player who was lucky enough to
get his name signed to a contract calling
for $4,000 for the season. Third in the
| list of player plutocrats comes John
Chesbro, the crack twirler of the Pitts
burg National league team of last year,
who will play with the New York Ameri-
cans this year. If Chesbro pitches an
average of two games week he will re-
ceive $333.33 per game. ~. .=
Dave FutZ, who was the Philadelphia
Athletics outfielder last season, has made
a good contract with the New York
Am orleans for this year. He Will receive
a salary Of $4,000 for his work. La Joie's
contract with the Cleveland American
league club has two years to run at $4,000.
Wallace win get only $500 less from st.
Louis. .Delehanty, who Is now In the base
ball lirnelight by reason of his breaches
Of contracts, viii get $4,000 for his SEASON
with Washington If he keeps his contract.
| President Hermann Of thes Cincinnati
National league club to-day said that Gin
cinnati will refuse to play with the New
| York National league team if Delehanty
and George Davis, both Of whom were
awarded to American league clubs at the
peace conference, appear on the field with
| the Gotham aggregation. f.-.
IF Delehanty and Davis do not live up
to the provisions Of the peace compact
we will get together and blacklist then1."
said Hermann. :.
It is currently reported that there is a
movement back Of Delehanty and Davis
| that seeks to break the peace agreement
of JAM 81, which assigned players, fixed
circuits and made other provisions.
| The New York American league club
Is so anxious to secure the services Of
Delchanty that it Is willing to pay the
81, 900 Delehanty owes the New York Ma
tionals, and then pay an additional bonus
to the Washington club, at the same time
assuming the players contract at a sal
airy of $4,000 for the coming season. In
other words, the New York Americans
stand ready to put up close to SIC, 900 for
Delehanty's services without releasing

affair
A dispatch from Caracas says that
New York financial syndicate, head
ed by Severe Mallet-P Provost of that
city, has offered to advance money
to the Venezuelan government to meet
pressing obligations, including the legit-
innate claims of foreign governments.
The syndicate proposes that control Of
the custom houses shall be given to it
as the guarantee Of the loan.
Sharp competition exists, as the firm
OF Speyer Brqs. of New York, through
Its New York branch, offers to finance
this country, promising to furnish all
the funds that win be needed to settle
the foreign claims and convert the
Venezuelan debt
Active correspondence on the subject
is now being exchanged between Presi-
dent Castro's government and the finan-
ciers
A dispatch from Willemstad throws
a new light on the reported victory of
Castro over the revolutionists.
According to the reports, the govern
ment generals took advantage Of the
armistice and attacked the revolution
airy leader, who was in command in
Barquisilneto, hoping to win by sud
den coup. The result was that they
were disastrously routed losing 300
men.
Port Cnmana is again in the hands
of the rebels.
President Castro is seriously crippled
in his military operations because he
has no warships to transport troops
to aid his land forces.
