CLUBS INDIGNANT
News That There Will Be
Be No More Dismissals
at the City Hall
Anglers the G. @.
P. Grafters.

It has been given out that but few
more changes will be made in the Street
and Water Department employees. This
must be cheering news to the place-hunt-
ers who have thronged the assembly
chamber since the Republican appoirkive
Board came into power The army of
disappointed place-hunters all say they
were promised places. Mayor Pagan in
sists that he is not in the habit of making
any promises of jobs. But these men, no
matter BY whom they We're promised
places, look to the Mayor and they are
sore. Already there are threats of get
ting even. A great many of these are
men who deserted the Democratic ranks.
The soreness, however, is even greater
among the disappointed Republican place
hunters, who claim that the Pagan Dem
ocrats are getting more than their share
of the plums.
The appointments as rule have not
given satisfaction to the workers of the
Republican clubs who have stood by the
organization and fought its battles
through many defeats Each ward or
ganization too, is claiming that some oth-
recognition that it is entitled to. Influ-
ential Republican organizations of the
character of the Fremont Club in Hud-
son City section are riled and consider
they have been slighted.
Patronage is not always strength and
while there are some who predict that
when all appointments and fixing in of
places formerly held by Democrats is
completed Mayor Pagan will have Re-
publicanized the city there are many
others who predict that the next Mayor
atty campaign will show that the Repub-
lican-Fagan Democrat combine has been
weakened rather than strengthened.

Contest for the Eastern Lea
que Pennant Will at
Last Begin Crowds
Expected.

From the streets and from windows of
office buildings, stores and many resi-
dences could be seen all the women,
youths, and maidens casting dubious
plances at the sky.
"Oh, Lord, can't we have baseball. to-
day." has been almost the universal
prayer.
The sky kept people guessing all the
morning, but the preponderance of opin-
ion was that the odds were in favor of
at least endurable baseball weather this
afternoon. Word went forth that the
opening game of the season at West Side
Park, postponed for two days, would at
last be played and look of cheerfulness
displaced that of disappointment in the
faces of all local baseball enthusiasts.
The appearance of the sky had been re-
fiected in their faces all the morning.
The indications at noon were that there
would be very large attendance at the
game. 1t was proposed to carry out the
elaborate arrangements made for the
opening, and unfurling of the penant, in
Guiding the decorations, the band CON
cert, etc. It was said that Mayor Pagan
would pitch the first ball over the plate
The ground is somewhat soft and sloppy
in places, but was in better condition
this morning than was expected after the
two days and nights of almost incessant,
drenching rain. The seats in the grand
stand and bleechers We're drying. sign
in itself that promised fair weather.

Big Concern They Pro-
pose Without the
Concession.

During recent conference between
Mayor Pagan, Corporation Attorney
Robert Carey and representatives of But
Ter Brothers, notion dealers, of New York
over proposition of the firm to locate
million dollar plant in this city the May
or was told that it was the desire of the
firm to erect plant that would cover the
the block bounded by Washington, Bay,
Steuben and Greene streets and that it
would require several hundred men to
run the plant. The representatives of
the firm said the plant would be of no
use to them unless they were allowed to
lay spur railroad track through Washz
ington street and across Bay street, con-
meeting the plant with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company's freight yards. One
Of the Representatives of the firm stated
that the firm would ship no less than
three carloads of noions day and that
the spur was absolutely necessary.
There appeared at the conference a
representative Of the American Tobacco
Company, whose plant covers two square
blocks, and who, hearing that Butler
Brothers application for a spur was
to be made, asked that the proposed
spur be extended to the tobacco plant
Butler Brothers representative objected
to this on the ground that the tobacco
company would be apt to block the
tracks and interfere with the business of
the other plant.
The arguments put forward by both
parties fayorably impressed the Mayor
and he promised to advise the Street
and Water Board to pass an ordinance
giving permission to lay the proposed
spur. The ordinance has been introduced
and will be put through at the next
meeting of the Street and Water Board.
