too carefully observed. If the Demo-

responsibility of government. it will adj

Il have always had friendly regard
for the Manhattan Club and its MEM
bers. My name has been upon its rolls
for long time, it having paid me the
compliment years ago of election to hon
orary membership. The club has exerted
a wide influence in Democratic circles
and rendered valuable. service to the
country and the party. Its roster is a
list of most of the prominent Democrats
of New York and the country, and it
honors itself in honoring Judge Parker.
/ hope to join with its members in re-
joicing over the result of the election on
the eighth of November and in the fact
that New York and West Virginia con-
tributed to make it Democratic tri-
umph. Very truly yours,
H. G. DAVIS.
When Mr. Murphy came along the
Judge spied him and had his hand out.
.sYou see, I'm in line as usual, Judge
said the Tammany Hall leader.
"oh, no. replied the Judge, you're
usually right at the head of the line, Mr..
Murphy.
When District Attorney Jerome came
along Justice Herrick got hold of the
District Attorneys hand and pumped
and pumped on it.
Say, jerome" he said, I'VE ought to
make good team"
sHitched together, do you mean,
Judge" said Mn jerome.
Justice Herrick said that that was just
what he meant, and asked Mr.. Jeromesto
be sure and call on him this morning. 1t
was whispered about the club that JUS
tice Herrick was going to have a heart to
heart talk with Jerome in the hope of
inducing him to join in the Herrick
stumping tour.
Mayor Mcclellan and Mr. Grout came
along together and seemed to be getting
lots of enjoyment To mention the
names of the Democrats who shook the
hands of the candidates would be to go
over the names of practically every
well known Democrat of Manhattan, at
any rate.
The Misunderstanding began at 8:45 O'Clock.
and lasted two hours. Tables We're
spread then and a light luncheon was
served 10 those who remained. Judge
Parker and Justice Herrick, with the re-
ception committee, had supper in pri-
waite dining room on the fourth floor.
There were no speeches.

the New York State convention has had
upon the States in the West. While
our party has been thoroughly aroused
from the start in Wisconsin. the example
set by the Empire State Democrats in
bringing about such absolute harmony
out Of what looked from a distance as
absolute chaos caused the Wisconsin
| Democrats to redouble their efforts and
what is true in my State is equally true

the dining and reception room and Shook
hands with 5000 odd people. Inciden-

lily take to pass by, because he had a
kindly word or two in, addition to the
smile and handshake to say to each man.

MEMBERS CLINGlNG TO
j OLD PLAN FOR SEEDS,
Well Enough Pleased with the Way
They Send Them Out.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Mr. Sheppard,
Democrat) of Texas, one of the young
est members of the. House, made a
determined and persistent effort to-day
to bring about a reform in the mat
ter of the distribution of seeds by the
government. He contended that the
present system is bad.
Mr.. Sheppard's first move was to
have struck from the agricultural ap-
preparation bill certain sections pro-
viding the machinery for the distri-
button of the seeds authorized to be
purchased under the bill In this he
was successful, his point of order be-
ing sustained by the chair, but by an
overwhelming vote the House prompt
of amendment. Only three members
voted in opposition to the restoration.
Mr.. Sheppard's further effort was to
secure an amendment to the restored
sections, which would provide for the
purchase of rare, and untried seeds.
but despite his earnest appeal for this
amendment it failed, and the bill was
left just as the committee brought it
into the House so far as seeds for free
distribution were concerned.
Mr.. Maynard of Virginia urged that
provision be made for the publicatio
of statistics relative to rice, tobacco
and trucking products of the same char
acter as are now published concerning
other agricultural products.
The bill was passed, and the House
adjourned until Monday.

TROUBLE AROSE AT MACON OVER
POSSESSION of GROUNDS.
MERGERS UNREASONABLE
DEMANDS THE CAUSE.
MANAGER KOHLER SAID HE
WOULD GIVE UP FRANCHISE

If the City Sustained the Claims of
the University Baseball AssOcia-
tiOn-PrOpOsitiOn Was Made by
Mayor Bridges Smith which Was
Accepted by Both sides and Now
the Dove of Peace HOvers over
AII-Parl~ Will BE in the Possess
sion of the south, Atlantic Club
at the Central City.
The dove of peace now hovers over
the camps of college and professional
baseball factions in Macon, and the diff
ferences that threatened the existence
of the South Atlantic Baseball League
have been set at rest.
The differences rose some time ago
when the Mercer Baseball Association
made application to owner Kohler, of
the Macon team, for terms for the use
of the ball grounds to be used when
Mercer plays other colleges in the Cen
trail city during the coming season.
Mr.. Kohler made the Mercer associa-
ton an offer of $25 for each game, as
he would have to go to about $500 ex-
pense in getting the grounds in shape.
This the Mercer team promptly refus-
ed, and stated that under an old agree
ment with the city authorities they
would push their rights for the use
of the grounds, and would charge $l5
for each game played thereon.
AS the Macon professional team VIII
play sixty games there, it would cost
the management 5000 for the use of
the grounds, and this was objected to,
Mr.. Kohler saying he would give up
his franchise rather than meet such
requirements. A conference was held
between the warning factions at the
City Hall in Macon, day before yes
terday, at which time all matters were
settled The following from Macon
will be of interest:
The Macon Baseball Association and
Mercer representatives have met, and
smoked the pipe of peace together.
What was at first thought to be the
breaking up of the local team turned
out to be a peaceful conference in
which all differences were settled in less
than half an hour. Now the minds of
the fans can be at rest as league ball
is assured and there is no more any
chance of further disagreement be-
tween the two factions, that but a
few days back were looked upon by
the public in general as hostile.
The meeting was attended by Mr..
Smith, Mr.. Kohler, vice president of
the South Atlantic League, and owner
of the Macon franchise; Mr.. Peyton
Jones, who is to erect the new bleach
ers. Aldermen Massee and Damour
and Profs. Holmes and Ragsdale of
Mercer University. Mayor Smith stat
ed that as d citizen and not in an Of
fetal capacity, he advocated both col
lege and professional baseball and
wanted to see them both, and more
than all wanted to see perfect harmony
between the two clubs.
AS proposition. which he thought
fair, Mr.. Smith added that the Macon
management take the park for moth
ing, put $500 worth of improvements on
the grounds, grand stand, etc, and that
Mercer pay them 500 for her schedule
of games. Alderman Massee was the
first to break the silence after hear
ing the proposition set forward by the
Mayor. He asked Mr.. Kohler what he
thought of the proposal and was assur-
ed by that individual that it was per-
fectly agreeable to him.
