Chattanooga, August 31.-(Special )-The young son of Governor Cox, who has been so anxious to get where there was a chance to fight passed through Chatta- nooga today en route to Tracy City from Hartman.

 The efforts of Private Cox, who Is only 1b years old to get to the scene of trouble and the efforts of his mother to keep him away have formed one of the most amusing features of the Tracy City incident. Mrs Cox is now said to be satisfied that there Is no chance of trou- ble at Tracy City, but Private Cox hopes that something may yet start

SLAGPILE NOTES

Fred Moore, who has tried to 'ball' Harry Vaughan out since the former nection with the Birmingham club. Moore nectoin with the Birmingham club. Moore wrote to Vaughan last winter, asking for trial on the Birmingham team. His terms were s125 per month and little later in the season Vaughan voluntarily raised Moore's salary to $50 per month On the morning of July last, Moore approached Vaughan, when there was about 5000 people in the park and de- handed another raise in his salary, say- ing that he would not play without his salary was raised. Under coercion Vaughan agreed to raise Moore's salary again.
 Frank Smith, the former Birmingham twirler. pitched a wonderful game against Washington yesterday. He allowed only twenty-eight men to come to bat, only one hit being made and not a base on balls. The score was to in favor of the Chicago team.
 Harry Matthews, Brminghams hard working catcher, was given a check yes terday for $S7.50, the exact amount of his fine when he assaulted Umpire Pfen- nnger early in the season. The check was made out to ''Matty' for his man. agement of the Barons on the recent trip to Nashville, when the badly crippled team captured two out of five games.

Failed to Show Up.

"The very next day the six men who struck failed to show up. It was then that I suspended Miller for five days and fined Hafrord $25 It was Miller's second offense and Hafford's first. The other four men, Moore, Hennessy, Dele- hanty and Ragan were fined $ each. report at the park in the morning. I told each player individually that l would en- force the fine If they did not appear at the park, and everything was lovely for two weeks. No protests were made then The next pay day, August 16. all the players showed up at the park and re- ceived their checks. Five of the men found their checks shy $5 worth. -A.ller had suspension of five days and Hafford on the same day that the strike took place. About ..-.ven or twenty minutes before the game was due to start l saw the striking ball players sitllng tn the grand stand and I sent one of my loyal players to them with request that they come to the club house. They all came there and l asked them s-.ey intended to put on uniform. Miller and Hennessy spoke for the crowd and said they did not intend to put on uniform unless the fines were remitted. l asked Miller and Hennessy in particular if they. thought they had been mistreated They replied that no matter what they had done no one had any right to take their money from them
 'I then told them that they had better reconsider as such action on the part of ball players was serious matter in the baseball world.
 T either had to enforce some discipline or let my players rule me. and decided to enforce the rules a final proposi- ton. It was up to me, as a manager, and I was forced by my players to take the final action.'

Causten Claims Interest in

Seattle papers chronicle the arrival
on Puget sound Of James Fl. Causten,
formerly special deputy collector oil
under Capt. d. Il. Jarvis, for the pur-
pose Of bringing suit against Capt
BArnette, mayor Of Fairbanks, for q
one-third interest in all his property
Mr.. CSusten is DOW collector of customs
at Porto Rico and he came west for the
specific purpose Of protecting his IN
te-ests in Tanana metropolis.
Mr.. Causten claims he assisted Capt.
Barnette when he made his first trip up
the Tanana, the time he located the
town Of Fairbanks. At that time he
says Capt. Barnette entered into a writ
ten agreement with him providing that
he was TO have a one-third interest IN

ment. Mr.. Causten says, is Of record at

Even II nothing of a tangible nature
is accomplished, a convention OF this
kind must result In good. II will be
the means OF knitting the different por'
lions Of Alaska more closely. There
can be an interchange Of thought, and
the needs and requirements OF each
uortion can be considered intelligently
The time has come when Alaskans
should "get together" Sectional and
other differences must be laid aside ii
the best results are ~ be attained.
Each section must be treated literally
and the idea Of mutual and common in
terest must be developed. The bar
riers Of isolation must be torn ssunder
and the people united for a common
purpose. Under existing conditions
the people Of Alaska are strangers to
each other. We Of the northwestern
norton know but little OF our brethren
of the southeastern section, and vice
versa A gathering such as is proposed
will draw the people Of all portions OF
the territory closer together and Undue
them with the idea Of working together
for the common good. The develop
ment of Alaska Is growing apace. II
will assume greater proportions from
year to year. Thedistrict win be given
representation in congress; 1t will have
a territorial government for all Alaska.
By and by it will be divided into several
territories, and ultimately several
states will be carved out OF the whole.
II would have been much more pleasing
to the Nugget IL the legislative con-
veution could have been held at some
point in Alaska, but this was found to
be impracticable this year, The build
ing railroads, however, will, within a
short time, enable the people OF Alaska
TO meet on their own ground for the
discussion Of all questions appertaining
to Alaska's welfare. In the meantime,
We must make the best Of conditions as
they arise, and in order ito do this We
must, take counsel, one section with
another.
