GET GOOD CLUB,
SAYS IRWIN
Tells Wilmington Baseball
Club Owners How To
Make Money

-Four years ago Wilmington had
good baseball team and the owners made
lots Of money and this year If you get
together another good club you can an
your grandstand and bleachers again.
This is what Arthur Irwin told the ows-
ers Of the Wilmington A. A. at last night
conference and was about an that took
place
Just at present the owners of the VIII
mington A. A. are between the devil and
the deep sea. Things ia the Tri-state are
not as smoth as they might be and any
thing Is liable TO happen. For instance II
there should be a. coal strike there will
be no club in shamokin Then the Tri-
State magnates can do either of two
things, get another club IN shamoxin's
place or throw Wilmington into snow
drift
The owners Of the Wilmington club are
very anxious that the Tri-statc should
get protection as they realize that with
no limit on salaries and each club out,
bidding each other for men big losses viii
be the result If the league cannot get
protection then they would like the Tr-
State clubs TO go together themselves ana
agree on a salary limit say $500
II this agreement cannot be made and
the rri-State does not get protection il
would not be "a big surprise If this city
would not be represented In the outlaw
League the coming season.
The club owners realize what Arthur
Irwin told them last night is true and that
they must either get together winner
OF throw up the sponge
1t is a well-known fact that at least two
franchises in this league can be had
and that as they must spend good mon,y
to be successful no matter what way they
turn.
-Four years ago Arthur Irwin spent
three days IN this city looking over
things and before leaving called on ine
owners Of THAI team and coaxed them
TO go into the Eastern League. but his
pleadlngs We're IN van This year he
comes here again and in about so many
words tells the new club owners about
the same thing. Whether his advice th
time will be taken remains TO be seen.
Not until after January 3 will anything
definite be known.

in evidence. Main street was

CANNOT COLLECT CLAIMS.
Care of Insane Properly a Loca
Expense.

SIOU CITY, Nov. 4.-Copies have
been received here of decision by
the supreme court of Iowa, in case
that went up from this county, ruling
that counties of Iowa cannot collect
from the estates of insane for their
maintenance.
The decision was given in the case
of the state of Iowa against James Col
ligan. a patient at the independence
hospital for the insane during twenty
wears. The county here brought suit
to recover from $4,000 to $4,000 from
the South Dakota estate. The coun-
ties of Iowa have been making prac-
tice of doing this and tens OF thousands
of dollars have been recovered for the
care of patients.
In this particular case, the man was
a resident of South Dakota and the
supreme court first says that the state
established hospitals for the insane
and these are largely charitable msu-
tutions provided in the interest of hui
mainly and for the protection Of socie-
ty. When a man has property in one
state and is incarcerated in an insane
hospital of another, the latter state
nas no right under the common law
to recover from those who receive the
benefits of such public charities
The court further says that the uni
form rule seems 10 be that there is no
liability on the part of the person who
receives such benefits or on the part
of mis- relatives, to make compensation,
save as such compensation may be ex-
plicitly required or provided for by
statute. No such obligation is to be
| implied
The state, however, cited statute
in support of it's position, and it is as
! follows, being section 2297. THE pro-
vision herein made for the support OF
ne insane at public charge shall not
De construed to release the estates OF
such persons nor their relatives from
liability for their support

About A years ago Ray was
knocked down by a wheelman,
sustaining injuries which resulted
in curvature of the spine. Other
complications followed, and about
10 days ago he was stricken with
brain fever. The physicians worked
untiringly to save the little fellows
life, but the odds were too great to
be overcome. Indications Of i'm.
provement appeared at times, only
to be followed by reactionary spells
Ats o'clock Tuesday afternoon he
appeared to be better, but at II p.
N. he suffered a sinking spell from
which the doctors revived him,
and at o'clock Wednesday morn
ing he passed away while the ply
sician was being summoned from

On account of the peculiar ma
ture of this case the physicians

disclosing an immense tumor on
the brain. In addition to this the
heart was seriously affected.
