BASEBALL

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Trouble is brewing among
the minor baseball leagues of the country and
it is not improbable the meeting Of the ma
tonal commission in Cincinnati, Jan. 9 will
have an open quarrel to settle.
From minor league sources 1T became known
today that the proposition submitted by Attorney
Griffths of Jersey City for an increase in the
drafting price to 81, 1,5O0-the proposition which
the National league approved at its December
meeting in New ork-was unauthorized by the
National Association Of Professional Baseball
leagues, the governing body of the minor leagues
of the country. : =.
PROMPTED and is backed by Ned Henion, owner el
of the Baltimore club. and George Tebeau, who
Is Interested in the Louisville Kansas Oity and
Denver clubs in the west. These minor league
magnates, with Grifiths, are accused by minor
ieaguers Of having PERSONAL to grind. They
have acted contrary to the opinion of many
other minor league officials, as well az without
the AUTHORIZATION Of the National association
All this Is creating a split among the rninol
| leagues.
+ was pointed ont that Han1or. Tebeau ant
PLAYERS wanted BY, the big leagues than any
other magnates. The entire Baltimare club wa!
covered COW up by Hanon thru his connection will
the Brooklyn National league club.
1t Is expected that a compromise will result
| at the meeting of the national Commission II
Cincinnati: The proposition submitted by Grif
hths to the, National league differs from ,tha
submitted by the minors to the Americans. Th,
American league, and apparently many Of th,
minor Leagues, are unwilling to approve of th
| plan Hence there will be out and out wa
| Oh a compromise and the latter seems til,
| more probable.

MAY GET CENTRAL !.
AT STREET CORNER
Cleveland Company Tries Expert.
ment with Street Telephones
!. III =. Affixed to Lampposts. 81. i.

! Z. Cleveland Dec: 31.-The Cuyahoga
Telephone company has established, two
telephones on lamp posts on Euclid ave-
nue.. One is at the corner of Euclid
and East Madison avenues and the other
at the corner Of Euclid and Bolton ave
nues. Street telephones are known to
only one other city in the United States
Bridgeport, Conn. In speaking of
the innovation yesterday afternoon,
General Manager French Of the Cuya-
hoga company said: Between Olive
street: and Doan street, on Euclid, there
is no store or any public place where a
person could get at telephone. II an
accident occurred or there was any emer-
gency, one would have to 90 to a pri-
Vate residence. We have decided to
try an experiment. Bridgeport, Conn.,,
has worked the idea to good advantage,
and we ought to do the same here. We
have decided to permit the public free
use Of these street telephones until
Jan. l.. After that, except for ambll.
lance, fire or police calls, they will be
regular pay stations. If these tele
phones pay, we will esta blish others as
the need may be. .s5s,s IS
These street telephones are in boxes
Ito protect the instruments from the
elements, but they are readily accessible
to, the public at all times. Mr.. .Frencf
says he believes that Cleveland vii
make the service pay, and he expects
u1tin ately: that these street telephones
will be spread all over the city.

fremen" are likely to become as i'm
portant part Of the fire department
as any other and Chief Croker's favor
it project may therefore be soon real
ized. The civil service commission has
already started an examination for fire
men of this sort. Chief Croker himself
has been furnished with a Columbia
gasolene touring car and an official
chauffeur, as has also Deputy Chief
Lailly of Brooklyn.
Chief Croker leaves Great Jones street
every morning that he is not called
away on some big fire and goes to fire
headquarters, in East Sixty-seventh
street, where his caf leaves him and re-
turns to Great Jones street. If he
needs it for inspection duty during the
day it runs up to fire headquarters for
him.
He still uses his horse and buggy, but
for quick work he finds the gasolene car
indispensable. 1t is fitted with a large

The use Of the motor car for fire fight
ing purposes seems to have been found
the most practical, but nevertheless in

carts are still rushing their vehicles to
the front, and it is not unlikely that
New York will in the near future see
some kind of a horseless engine in use.
Steam is ahead Of either gasolene or
electricity in this direction, and if any
thing is tried soon it will undoubtedly
be propelled by steam.
Ever since it's creation the automobile
has been trying to break into the fire
| departm Various forms Of motor
cars, gasolene, steam and electric, have
been patented and tried to some extent
in the art of fire fighting. At first it
was supposed that the first form
which would come into general use
would be the electric engine. A light
electric pump was made and tried, and
it met with little favor.
| The idea was to draw it to a. fire by
horses and then attach it to an electric
plug. This might have worked if every
fire. plug had originally been
equipped with electric current, but as
this was not done the expense of laying
cables was found to be too great
Several storage battery fire engines
were built but none of them have beer
put into use.
In spite of these repeated failures
however, the leading fire fighters Of
New York and other cities have never

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
a Word to the Building Inspector.


The writer has come to the conclusion
that it is a difficult matter to solve the
problem to what it is best to do in re-
gard to brick wallis or stone walls, after
fire such as we have passed thru. In
reading the evidence Of the coroner's jury.
it took me backFto the time Westminster
church was destroyed by fire in September,
1896. The high gable wall facing Nicollet
remained standing after the fire, and our
building inspector: and contractors gen
orally considered it safe, and finally the
"signs of danger" were removed and
sidewalks opened to the public. Finally
communications came to the officers OF
the church, warning them what the result
would be if the walls were not properly
cared for; so, at request of the trustees,
E. F. Pabody and myself visited our build
ing inspector and explained our mission.
We said we were not quite satisfied as
to the wall, and did mot care to run any
risk of damage. We were assured 1t was
all right; that we might go home and
lose no sleep over "a wind Of from forty
to sixty miles an hour would not bulge it.
etc. We departed relieved, for we realized
what the expense would be to take 1t
down. Well, it was mot long after that
till over went the wtll onto Nicollet ave-
nue. It happened about noon, with no
wind, either. Fortunately. no one was
hurt. ~

Attorneys say that the constitutional
provision quoted by Mr.. Arnold is only

not hamper the states in enforcing state
laws. The fourteenth amendment includes
limitations on state authority, saying nor
shall any state deprive any person Of life,
liberty or property without due process
