Today six of the teams of the
Three-Eye. league meet in strife on
the diamond beginning the regular
season. The weather is propitious
and the opening in the three towns
in which games are being played
should be successful. In Davenport
Manager Hayes probably regrets that
he was so hasty in his Judgment of
the weather and postponed the open
ing till tomorrow.
Arrangements for the opening game
in this city with Bloomington next
Friday have not been completed, but
of course there will be the usual
band accompaniment with street par
ade and all the other features that
usually mark the event.
Better Service This Season.
One important thing that the man
agement has looked after this year
is an improvement in the street car
service to and from the grounds when
games are played. The Tri-City Rail-
way company has agreed to furnish
ears to run at least every 10 minutes
before and during the games. ana
perhaps oftener. This will offer an
inClucement that will be the means of
taking many to the park who with a
less frequent service would stay
away.
President NJ. II. Sexton returned
last night from st. Joseph, where he
went to dispose Of certain Western
league matters, and this morning he
departed for Rockford to be present
at the opening game in that city.

BILE. The union appointed q committee
TO settle the strikes, which are all against
the American Bridge Company. ignoring
Buchanan's decision that he must manage
all negotiations because he ordered the
strikes.
The local committee at once asked Presi-
dent Joshua A. Hatfield Of the American
Bridge Company for a conference with q
view to settling the New York strikes. and
the request was promptly granted on the
understanding that Buchanan was to be
kept out OF the negotiations. The confer
ence took place In the Broadway Office OF
the company between the union committee
and the local committee of the National
Association OF Structural Iron Manufact-
uTers. consisting Of the representatives
of three firms.
The conference lasted two hours. and,
though no decision was reached, progress
toward a settlement was made, and the
conferees will meet again In a few days.

will not be known for several days.
So far as the Government Is aware the
incident arose through Q misconoeption
by the embassy attaches Of Baron Won

did not consider him as an Ambassador,

Requires Accused Liquor Dealer
10 Swear to His Denial or Deprives
Him OF His License without Trial.
Supreme Court Justice Mccall declares
the law unconstitutional under which pro-
ceedings have to be taken for the revoca-
ton Of liquor dealers license, and he
refused yesterday for this reason to re-
woke the license issued 10 Edward p. Lehr
Of 955 Amsterdam avenue.
The State Excise Commissioner, p. W.
Cullinan. instituted the proceedings to
revoke Lehr's license. on the ground that
deputies had observed Sunday violations
in Lehr's saloon in November Last Ex-
Senator Ford was Lehrs counsel, and he
declined to put in any sworn answer to
Cullinan's petition, on the ground that II
was unconstitutional to compel the holder
Of license to put in a sworn reply to
petition which charged the commission
of q crime. entailing a penalty. Mr.. Ford
also conte ended that the provision directing
the Court, in the absence OF any sworn
answer, to revoke the license without taking
any testimony or appointing referee,
was unconstitutional In that 1t deprived
the certificate holder of his property with
out q trial by jury. He also attacked the
clause enabling the Court to restrain the
saloonkeeper by injunction from carrying
on MS business pendlng the nearing.
Justice Mccall says that Lehr's refusal
to put In a verified answer was wholly justi-
fable and part Of his constitutional rights.
The Legislature. reads the decisions has
no power to enact such legislation as is
found in Subdivision 2, section 20. of this
act, as amended"
Justice Mccall goes on to say that he can
not appoint any referee, as Dehr claimed
his constitutional privilege, and that he
will not revoke or cancel the license in view
of the unconstitutionality of the clauses
referred to. The decision is Of great inn
portance both TO the State Excise Com
mission and to saloonkeepers, and will be
taken to the Court Of Appeals as soon AZ
possible 80 that final Interpretation Of the
law may be had.
All the legislation objected to by Mr.. Ford
is contained in the subdivision referred
20 by Justice Mccall and there appears to
be no other procedure for revocation Of an
excise tax certificate.
