FAIRBANKS FOR SECOND PLACE.
Representative Lands Says Indiana
Wants Him to Head the Ticket in 1908.


Representative Charles B. Landis of In
diana believes that the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the railroad merger case
will tend to eliminate the trust question
as a political issue in the forthcoming pres
idential campaign. Incidentally he says
that the decision, taken from fundamental
point of view, lends emphasis to the fact
that the federal government and not the
states is the supreme power of the nation,
and that not since the close of the civil
war has this fact been more clearly demon
strated than by the courts decree.
Mr. Lands, in discussing the reported
candidacy of Senator Fairbanks for the
republican vice presidential nomination,
said:
II believe, as do many of Mr.. Fairbanks
friends in our state. that Mr.. Fairbanks will
make great mistake if he should consent
to allow his name to be presented to the
convention in Chicago as a vice presidential
candidate. We do not want to see him close
his public career with any such honor
What we do wish to see is his nomination
for the presidency in 1908. We believe that
he should remain In the Senate until that
year, when his name can be placed at the
head and not at the tail of the national
ticket. Let the party look to other quar-
ters for a vice presidential candidate. There
is any quantity of timber available. l be-
lieve however. that a middle western man
should be selected, and L point to Secretary
Taft of Ohio, Secretary Shaw of Iowa or
Senator Quarles of Wisconsin as likely men.
Any one of them would be acceptable. Sem
ator Fairbanks would add strength to the
ticket in Indiana and other quarters. but
do not think we need him in order to carry
Indiana. Any of the other gentlemen have
indicated could do the same thing. Out In
Indiana the people want Mr.. Fairbanks to
hold aloof from the vice presidency. They
want him for President and believe that for
him to become Mr.. Roosevelts running
mate next fall would impair his chances Of
securing the big nomination four years
hence.'

Were Trying to Get Into Warehouse
On Bryan Street.
An attempt was made at l o'clock
this morning by four young white men
to rob the warehouse of the Peacock
Hunt and West Company on Bryan
street, just west of Abercorn.
The men broke lock on a door in
the cellar of the building, but found
that the door was also locked on the
inside. They were pursued by Patrol
man Cohen, who saw them at work,
and a bank Waterman. The men got
away before the arrival of half
dozen uniformed men, and Mounted
Sergeant Murphy, who were notified
from headquarters of what was going
on.
Patrolman Cohen had gotten wind of
the fact that the men contemplated
robbing the warehouse, and watched
them until they started to work. He
slipped into an adjoining building, and
telephoned headquarters for a detail
of men, expecting to be able to catch
the burglars in the place, and realiz-
ing that single-handed he could not get
all four. While the officers was us

the men attracted the attention of a

crHEDULE OF GAMES NOW BEING
PREPARED BY PRESIDENT BOYER

srlctch the Central City aggregation
will be right in the lead" Mr.. Koh-
Ter has left all matters in the hands
of Manager Smith of last years Cot
ton States League. His men will re-
port for practice about April l.
Con Strothers has signed eight men.
and is negotiating with the rest of the
men that will don the blue and gray
on Memorial Day. Con is getting mat
tiers in jam-up shape, and it will do
to watch this willy old fox of the dia-
mond. He has conducted many a hard
fought campaign, and nothing escapes
him in the way of an opportunity to
get a winning team together.
Kelly Has Signed Nine.
King Kelly, of the Jacksonville ag-
gregation, has signed nine of his men.
Kelly is now North looking over a
lot of material that he will import.
into Jayland. Nowhere in the circuit
has more enterprise been manifested
than in Jacksonville. The very best
men in the Florida metropolis have
entered into the game with heart and
soul, and when they have done they
will own one of the finest parks in
the South. They have purchased their
own land, and will erect a handsome
grand stand and bleachers. They have
a car schedule that will be unsurpass-
ed for carrying baseball crowds.
Ed. Ashenback, who got together a
team last year that broke up the Vir-
ginia League because it won so many
straight games that the race was one
sided, has only signed three men, but
he has put a number on the reserve
list and is going slow. Ed is as foxy
as ever, and proposes to give the na-
tives of the Sleeping City some of
the fastest stuff they have seen since
the earthquake.
Jim Grimm has gone to Cincinnati to
line up some of the old Western League
stars and bring them into the South
land. Grimm is a. manager of unques-
toned ability, and with the right
kind of spirit behind him in Columbia
he will set rafting pace.
Savannah in Good shape.
Fears for Savannah's prospects for
good ball team, clean sport and a
manager who knows the game, and
every item of public comfort, and en-
joyment, can be set at rest. It has so
happened that Savannah was able to
fall far enough behind to capture a
manager who is recognized as one of
the best informed baseball men in the
country, Mr.. Charles w. Boyer.
Mr.. Boyer was treasurer of the At
lanta club last year, and has served
various cities in the South as owner
and manager of teams. Mr.. Boyer
said before leaving Savannah that he
believed that he would get the support
of the Savannah people.
Il do not expect to make money the
first year." said Mr.. Boyer. There
are too many expenses to be met, but
I intend to do all that is possible to
build up the game, and present an
article of ball that no city need be
ashamed of. If 1 lose everything 1
have, 1 will see that Savannah has
nothing, but the best. OF course, I
came in rather late, but there is an
abundance of good material floating
around now, some waiting until the
last minute to sign up, and I will put
team out that will equal any in our
little lea oIIe -
