Minor League Gets Players Services
for Half the Season.

Cincinnati, May 4.-President's Pulliam
and johnson of the National and Amer
lean Leagues met here today with Chair
man Hermann of the National commits
sion. the three constituting that body, and
acted on number of matters that mad
been appealed to the commission. Be
cause of case called up by the Toledo
American Association club a new rule was
announced to the effect that when
minor league club has purchased or draft
ed a player, and such player does not re-
port to the minor league club the player
shall not be subject to draft by a major
league club until after the minor league
baseball club drafting or purchasing him
has secured his services for at least half
of a season. The rule was suggested by
the case of Player Calhoun of the Havre
Hill club who refused to report to the
Toledo club, after having come to terms
for that club to draft him from the New
England League, and has since played
with Independent clubs.
An additional rule is announced regard
ing the playing of games with clubs not
under the national agreement. National
agreement players are to be permitted to
be played only with clubs having con-
tracts for their services, they must not
play with or against outside clubs during
their contract period. and club owners are
forbidden to grant permission to players
to play contrary to this provision.

The Greatest Bath Towel Made. "Ruh
Dry We have Sold Thousand
Already

The "Rub-Dry' Bath Towel con-
tributes luxuriousness to the bath.
The "Rub-Dry" is made by pat
ent process, it's made of Egyptian
cotton, the most absorbing of all
cotton in the world, and SO drys
the skin after the bath as does no
other towel. But absorption is
only small part-while the skin
is drying it is set aglow, circula-
tion is promoted by friction
needed to start the blood. There
is a certain exhilaration in rub
bling with the "Rub-Dry."
Then again, this towel will out
wear the ordinary kind, for Egyp-
tian cotton Is noted the world
over for its long fiber and extra
ordinary strength and the warp
and welt are there to stay-it
don't fragile.
The "Rub-Dry" washes best,
and the easiest of all towels on
the laundry, for it needs no iron
ing.
The water runs up the loose
fibers of the cotton in the nubs
OF the Rub-Dry and is instantly
absorbed. You do not use piece
of hard finished writing paper to

up That is capillary attraction.
The nubs in the Rub-Dry gives
the friction.
The RuD-Dry is the product of
American brains and Egyptian
cotton.
The Rub-Dry towel is made in

Rub-Dry Towels are made with
nubs which give exhilarating fric-

In connection with the discussion of
the Anglo Cuban treaty. the suggestion
is made that 1t would be possible for
Canada to establish a trade with the
island republic which would very shortly
injure ours to a serious extent 1t is
said that many persons have been won
dering how the Plat amendment would
give this government any ground for in
reference with Cuba, based on the claim
that her economic relations with other
countries were unsatisfactory to us. 1t
is pointed out that there is nothing in
the Plat amendment which would war
rant interference with Cuba on CONNER
clal grounds. The advantages given to
British vessels, however, in the pending
treaty do justify interference on the
part of our government The Plat
amendment provides that ''the govern
ment Of Cuba shall never enter into any
treaty or other compact with any foreign
power or powers which will impair or
tend to impair the independence of Cuba,
nor in any manner authorize or permit
any foreign power to obtain by colonial
ton or for military or naval purposes
or otherwise, Judgment in or control
over any portion of said island"
Obviously there is nothing In this
which would warrant interference on our
part with any commercial agreement
that Cuba might make with Canada
If strictly confined to trade we could
not reasonably make any objection to
1t, for manifestly such an arrangement
could not impair or tend to impair the
independence OF Cuba. II is highly
probable that Canada will see her oppOr-
tunity in this respect and take advantage
of it. The people Of the Dominion are
ambitious to increase their foreign trade.
Already Canadian capital is invested
in Cuba. The island is certain to grow
in population and to become a valuable
market Its imports are now considera-
bic and viii steadily grow. It is alto
gether likely that the United States
viii have in Canada an active competi-
tor for Cuban trade.

rRE POL1cE JupeEsnIP

Among other offices to be filed at the
coming election is the police judgeship
for the city of Omaha. People whose
memories go back to the days Of Judge
Gordon and recall the numerous abuses
which crept in under his administration
parchment trial and several years of
seemingly endless litigation will hest
tate above all things to risk a repetition
of that dismal experience.
What is needed in the police judgeship
is a man of firmness and mercy, who
can distinguish between the habitual
criminal and the accidental unfortunate,
who will put the brakes down tight on
law-defying vice and professional
offenders, while extending reasonable
leniency to poor wretehes who have fal-
len simply through ignorance or weak
ness.
The republican candidate for police
judge, Bryce Crawford, has shown what
kind of police magistrate he will make,
having acted as police judge temporarily
for some little time Immediately after
the death of Judge Learn, with a record
Of efficiency and painstaking attention
to business that will compare favorably
with that of anyone else who has occu-
pied that place.
Mr.. Crawford is a man of good habits,
In the prime Of life, of exemplary repu-
tation and physically equal to the la
borious duties involved in the admins
tration of the police court. He has
sound ideas upon the punishment and
reformation of criminals and he has the
discerning ability to tell the difference
between an old-time chronic and cas-
ual Jail boarder. Republicans made no
mistake when they gave Bryce Craw-
ford the nomination for police judge and
the voters will make no mistake when
they endorse that nomination at the
polls.
