the salary limit may be ignored may
account for the lack of news, but these
players are now near the end OF their
wait and the jump or play problem
must soon be decided.
The threat to thump the springboard
is not bothering the managers and the
players are beginning to realize this.
Too many spangle wearers have re-
ceived offers from the coast league to
make the scare go through, and per-
chance when Johnson and Hart get
through in the West there may be no
mattress out that way to break the
force of the performers fall.
1t looks like-accept the best terms
offered or back to the winter position
for the association ball player. Short
stop Marcan, known as the human
checker, is one Of the players who
may not resign his present position.
Marcan was moved about the circuit
last season until he was able to boast
Of a speaking acquaintance with a
boarding house in almost every town
In the association, and, more than that,
the little fellow made good the major
portion of the time. Now he has de-
clared himself. He is claimed by st.
Paul, but if Marcan's name gets on the
score cards Marcan will be getting the
money If his demand Is refused he
declares he will remain out of the game
and continue holding down his present
berth in Milwaukee.

VANDERBILT MAKES
ANOTHER RECORD
New Yorker Covers Fifty Miles
In Less Than Forty-One
Minutes.

ORMOND, Fla, Jan. 30-Fifty
miles, with four turns, in 40:49 4-5 was
the record made in the Ormond- Day
tona Beach course today by w. K.
Vanderbilt Jr. The event was for the
American Automobile association
championship at that distance, open to
all. The pace figures out seventy
three and one-half miles an hour, the
best record ever made in America, and
almost as good as any straightaway
record for that distance In the world.
In this long race Mr.. Vanderbilt man
aged his machine admirably. In the
four turns necessitated by using the
ten mile course, he displayed great
skill and daring making the turn. On
completing the twenty miles his ma
chine left its tire marks just four feet
nine inches from the stake, going at
good speed. His record for every ten
miles of the fifty was the best, that of
H c. Rowen being second. These two
records break any previous time made
In America, as follows:
-Vanderbilt-10 miles. 7:25; 20 miles,
1902; 80 miles. 24:11; 40 miles, 1889
Us; so miles. 40:49 45.
Bowden-1O miles, $780, 20 miles, 17:O5;
80 miles, 24:29 2-5; 40 miles, 1928 2-5;
so miles, 42:44 2-5
There were nine entries in this race.
In the ten-mile invitation race open to
gentlemen amateurs only, Mr. Vanderbilt
again smashed all previous records, MAX
ing the distance in six minutes and fifty
seconds. The best previous record was
made by Barney oldfield, 1892 1-5, at Den
yer last year. There were five to start
In this race.
The three motorcycle machines which
raced a mile yesterday went ten miles
straightaway today. G. H Curtiss won,
with the record time of 1854 2-5. He rode
his own machine. Oscar Hedstrom and
w. W. Austin came in second and third.
Between the races scheduled for the day
Barney Oldfeld tried ten miles against
time but did not lower the record
There was fiuke in the ten-mile free
for-all race, the timing apparatus getting
out of order after the start. Vanderbilt,
Bowden and Stanley were the starters,
and they finished In that order
Bowden and Stevens at scratch won first
and second places In the twenty mile
handicap out Of seven starters. In this
race M. w. Ehrlich was thrown from his
machine and rendered unconscious. His
ENniuries consisted of dislocated shoulder
and scalp wounds, which will not prove
fatal.
The time for this, the twenty mile hand
| leap, was as follows:
Rowden. 18:40; Stevens, 1850 20;
| Christie, 23:19; Shanley, 29:16 2-5. Ehrlich
upset. La Roche started, but his machine
would not speed and he returned before

horsepower machines came together al

basketball team Of the st. Paul Central
high school was defeated by the girls of
the Hudson high school yesterday after
noon to the tune of IL to 4. The st. Paul
girls played first class article of ball
while they were on their feet, but owing
to the very slippery floor Of the Hudson
armory, they were sitting down a good
part of the time. The Hudson girls, who
were used to the floor, kept their feet
much more easily.
The Hudson team obtained good lead
in the first half which ended to / in
their favor, the / representing a free
basket thrown by Miss Raubischung. The
Hudson girls started well in the second,
when they threw two field baskets, max
ing the score 10 to 1. but the visitors
were now accustomed to the slippery floor,
and free basket and field basket by
Capt. Goodenow was the result. During
the last part of the second half the ST.
Paul team kept the ball in its opponents
territory most of the time, but they had
to devote SO much of their attention
to keeping their balance that they were
unable to throw baskets with any de-
gree of accuracy.
After the game the st. Paul team and
the twenty rooters were entertained by
the Hudson team at the home of Mrs.
Crary. The st. Paul team will try to
arrange a return game In st. Paul for

A Trust That Taxes Knowledge.

 The International Paper Company, which. with its allies controls the pro- duction and sale of paper in this coun- try is typical tariff-made trust, and more.
 It has the familiar trust features of "undigested securities" and lack of cash capital It exhibits the usual indiffer- ence to improved machinery and cheaper processes, while actually restricted pro- it charges in America. like other trusts, what the traffic will bear" and 1t dumps it's surplus stock in England at prices far cheaper than those charged to home consumers.
 In these respects 1t is true to its type, a corporation formed to capitalize" its corpse. But it is more than a money making trust. It is a tax on knowledge, a barrier to progress, wall against that general diffusion of information which is necessity to the very existence of a re- public.
 Hence it Is matter of public and gen. eral importance that 230 newspapers, pub lished in all parts of the country, repre- sented at the raeeting in this city yes terday of the American Newspaper Pub fishers Association. arranged to subscribe the sum of $100.000 to further such action against the trust as the public interests demand.
 The Association asks President Roose- Welt and the Attorney-General to "insti- tute a suit against any of the three paper combinations to test the legality of their existence and whether they do not stifte competition" It asks of the President and the Congress a reduction of the duties upon paper and the wood-pulp from which it Is made.

It is as pleasant as 1t is unusual for a good Democratic newspaper like The Advertiser to heartily endorse anything said by MT. Bryan, yet we cordially agree with him when he says that the platform to be adopted at St. Louis shall be one which shall honestly state the Party's position and one that shall mean exactly what it says" That is just what all good Democrats, all who hope for the triumph of Democratic principles, want. and what they should insist on. No dick ering with Populism; no lowing down to free-silverism. no compromising with un- Democratic principles. Let the platform be so plain. so unequivocal and so sound ly Democratic that all Democrats can stand on 1t and no others will try to mis. eonstrue it. MT. Bryan said a good thing, even though he may not have meant it m just the way we take 1t.

SOME SENTIMENTS.

In a recent bulletin issued by the De- pertinent of Education of Indiana, we find this sadly truthful paragraph:
 It will be a sad day for our national life when all our young farmers come to town when the small. well-cultivated homesteads give way to landed estates
 The sentiment was intended only for Indiana. but it applies with equal force to Alabama, where conditions are often such that 1t Is almost impossible for the scattered white people to remain in com fort. satisfaction or even safety. And the worst of 1t is that conditions grow a neighborhood 1t reduces the population that much and makes it more unpleasant for those who are left
 We have frequently seen the statement made, and have no reason to doubt its correctness, that a constant but limited infusion of blood from healthy country raised people Is necessary to keep up the highest standard of physical vitality among the inhabitants of the cities. The truth of this in no wise weakens the ar- gument against the depopulation of the country. There is, in the life of farmer, fruit and vegetable grower and stock breeder, more to satisfy the natural and healthful desires than can be found in any other calling or situation in which men can engage. but we admit that there are many situations in Alabama where the condition of farmers is not pleasant and where there is little to induce the young people to remain. Whether these conditions can be remedied, or how 1t can be done. we do not pretend to say. but We know that we agree with the language quoted above. and If there is a remedy or preventive the man who applies it will be a public benefactor.

 One of the many odd incidents that marked the life of the late George Fran cis Train, the noted financier, was told in the hotel corridor of the Walton hotel the other night.
 When Train was very much in the public eye a few years ago." said the the speaker, Steve Brodie the bridge jumper. had reached the height of his renown and was making money out of his saloon. He wished to increase his pile" and he con- ceived his idea to have some one write a play, the feature of which was 90 be scene wherein the hero would leap from the Brooklyn bridge
 "Brodie wrote to Train, who at the time was getting more space in the news columns Of the papers than any other person. He proposed that they form q partnership in the prospective melo- drama and that both of them appear Tn the plays as stars, dividing equally proceeds of thier venture, which Brodie told Train would amount to hundreds of thousands.
 "The encentric finencier did not know Brodie. and the unique and characteris- tic reply he sent him was shown by the bridge Jumper with an air of injured price Here 1t is.
 MT. Brodle: No. Thanks. I've al. ways been the whole show myself. TRAIN"
