of all. But for the fact that the Mayor
elect and the present chairman of the
finance committee differed regarding poll
cies in the last primary election, 1t is
generally conceded that Mr.. Gray would
continue to be chairman Persons who are
close to Mr.. Ward say that though Mr.
Gray will not get the Craftsmanship, he
will unquestionally be retained on the
committee. and that no matter who is
chairman, the financial policy OF the ad-
ministration will be formed and executed
in large measure by the Mayor-elect and
Mr.. Gray, both of whom have successful
banking experience. The Craftsmanship,
however, will go TO another man.
From present indications it is highly
probable, If not absolutely certain, that
the honor will be given to John w.
ONeill, alderman from the Second ward.
He will be appointed, it is said, for the
reason that the Mayor-elect highly re-
CARDS his capacity for business and feels
that MIR. O'Neil will support his policy.
The Craftsmanship of the street commit
tee will likely go to Alderman StoelSmar.
Associated with him on the committee
will be Alderman Moore, who has here
tofore been chairman. MIR. Moore will be
retained on the committee In order that
the city may advantage by his expert
enee and knowledge of matters that
pertain to the citys thoroughfares
Alderman Jones will unquestionably be
reappoihted as chairman of the fire and
water supply committee.
Alderman Fulghum will. with almost
equal certainty, succeed Alderman Thach
as chairman of the judiciary committee
The police and sanitation committee is
one that is likely to grow in Importance
under the Ward administration. 1t is re-
ported that Alderman Heidi will get the
craftsmanship, and that the membership
of this committee will be made up of
some of the strongest men in the City
Council.
The committees on parks and public
buildings and cemeteries will be merged,
and a hustling successful business man
will, it is said, be placed at it's head. The
craftsmanship of this committee, 1t is re-
ported. is perplexing the Mayor-eleet. Sew
eral members of the board have been
mentioned in connection with 1t. None
has yet been selected. Aldermen Bar
bour's name is receiving serious consider
alton, and 1t is not unlikely that he will
be given the place. The fact that Mr..
Barbour is a 5elf-made man and has
Olsen by the might of merit to be a
successful business man inclines the
mayor-elect to regard him favorab1y for
the position.
Alderman Cooper will 1t is said, be Of
fered the Craftsmanship of the mscella-
neous committee, though the names of
Alderman Parker and Alderman Klotz are
mentioned in connection Herewith, as
they are also with the parks, buildings
and cemeteries committee craftsmanship.

AMERICAN LEAGUE STANDING
IN AN OIL TOWN.
Eastern Writer Surprised. to Find
Civilized Community.

Arthur Ruhl, a writer for Golfers
Magazine, was in Independence the 9TH
er day and this is what he wrote:
There is a town in southeastern Kan
sas called Independence, the most excit-
ing occupations of which are discovering
the iniquities of the Standard Oil COM
pany and the railroads, and sending
kilograms about it to the president. In
dependence is the center of the Kansas
oil fields and of the agitation which re-
suited in the recent trust-beating. It
occupies very much the same relative
position to the oil fields further south
in Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
that an arnny'S base, where the land is
conquered and paying tribute, does to
the firing line and the sappers and en-
gineers. All the most exciting oil war
dispa tches in the papers of northern
Kansas appeared to be under Indepen-
dence date lines. On the way thither
oil derricks lined the horizon like rows
of Lombardy poplars, pipe lines ran
along beside the tracks or trailed over
the backs of distant hills, so that was
there on warm Sunday afternoon,
like any decorous Illinois or Wisconsin
town where every native male had his
best girl out buggy-riding.
All the people in independence who
don't go buggy-riding seem to come
from Pittsburg. The rush is past there,
the piped wells are pumping quietly,
and oil has become a matter of shares
ana d1VldenQS. Next TO US at the sup
per table that evening was q young
man, vaguely urban. who ate with most
excessive concentration, not speaking or
looking up. He was the sort of young
man who might spend his entire youth
doing all the unpleasant jobs which his
millionaire patron has to have some
body do for him, and at thirty find him
self held up to young America as an ex-
ample of astuteness and industry, with
a pasty complexion, nerves all gone, and
a salary Of five thousand a year. The
first time he spoke was when he looked
up sharply and in the most casual
manner in the world said. Hello to a
man who sat down at our table, and
whom he hadn't seen since they were in
Pittsburg three months before. How d
vo11 get along down there?" he asked,
looking at his plate. The other mana m,

s'Quiet Nike Issues a Statement TO
New York Fans.

New York. April 1s.-If Hans Wag-
ner is to be beaten for the batting
champ ionship OF the National league
this year, Mike Donlin, the center
fielder for the Giants, thinks he mas
a 'shunch' to do it
Last season Donlin batted at a me
clip until he fell into disfavor at CHI
cinnai and was traded to New YORK
While he was better pleased after the
exchange with his local surroundings,
he was not in the game often enough
to keep his eye we'll polished. IN
addition to that, he was a victim OF re-
morse. He felt keenly the position IN
which he had been placed.
This spring he, at least, has taken
excellent care of himself and is bat
ting the ball in fine shape. I'm not
making any fool promises or rash
am going ahead determined to do my
best and give the people in New York
all the baseball that there is in me. I
am in good physical condition and
propose to remain that way ! guess
have had my share of trouble in
this world and I want to keep out Of
it for a while. I know that am not
all in as ball player. and there is no
man on the team more anxious than
to help bring the pennant to New
York another year. I shall be right in
the game from the start and IL I don't
have any bad luck I mean to let the
other fellows know am after them.
That Pittsburg Dutchman has had a
monopoly of the batting in the Ma
tional league for so long that. I sup
pose he thinks he has got it copy
righted. Maybe I can feel him. If I
can, you bet I'll do it If things break
right with me guess I can do little
batting around the 800 mark myself. =
Donlin, like Wagner, is a free hit
ter, and when going at his best clip
showers three-ba ggers and doubles
around the strawberry patches in the
outhelds. In addition, he is a fast
base runner, a fairly good fielder and
an average thrower. McGraW wants
him for inside work

There were the papers from Pittsburg
