Wanted Him as a
Trustee.

A meeting of the baseball trustees
was held yesterday afternoon at the
office of Z. A. Thurston. There were
present p. Isenberg, H. NJ. Whitney
and L. A. Thurston. Mr.. Chilling
worth being absent at Eva.
The clubs constituting the Baseball
League unanimously requested the APP
pointment of J. NJ. Dowsett as a trus-
tee to fill the vacancy on the board
caused through the death of w. F..
Allen, and the appointment of Mr..
Dowsett was made by the trustees.
In reference to the inquiry made of
the Rapid Transit Company as to
whether they would sell the baseball
grounds and upon what terms, the re-
ply was that they desired to do what
ever was in the best interests of sport
and the maintenance of the present
grounds for football and general
sports. Without committing itself to
gested that as its business interests
were also served by the maintenance
of these grounds the object in view,
this of having permanent grounds
there, would be quite as well if not
better served by the retention of the
title in the Rapid Transit Co., rather
than conveying the grounds to a third
party with the possibility that they
might eventually be used for other
purposes, leaving the sport again with
out home.
1t was decided by the trustees to
take no action on the subject at
present

Glared hot and scorched my barren

So void did burn as fires of 'hel

STATE PARTICIPATION.
Vlrglnia's Call to Sister States MEETING
With Hearty Response.

f~.ss
Chief Commissioner Dunn of
New York, the head of the board
which will have charge of New
York's participation in the James
town Exposition, very APPLY
struck the key note of the James
town celebration when he said
that 'Virginia's .invitlon to her
sister States was nothing but the
call of the mother inviting her
children to celebrate the parents
birthday" That is has been so
considered. the ready presponse
which the States have made to
Virginia's invitation sufficiently
proves.
The great Empire State has the
honor of making the largest ap-
preparation up to the present time,
Wis $50, 100000.
North Carolina was the first
State to appropriate, but there
was a condition connection with
the legislative enactment, viz,
that the United States should ap-
propriate a certain sum before
North Cardinals bill should 90
into force.
The first unconditional appropri
alton came from New Jersey
S2500, was the sum designated.
Recently Governor Stokes, of that
State, accompanied by his entire
commission, visited the Expo
sition grounds, inspected the sur.
rounding territory. became &C.
quainted with the plans of the
managers and returning to New
Jersey, proclaimed that it would
be his endeavor to see that his
State largely increased her appro-
priation, so that she would make
an exhibit commensurate with the
historical Importance and com
mercial position of the common
wealth.
The commissioner from many
other States have visited the Elk
position and secured sites for theil
buildings. The first commission
came from Rhode Island.
All of the States whose legls
latures meet this year and those
which do not meet until mex
year vii be invited, and it il
hardly possible that any one vii
refuse Virginia's invitation.
The entire amount appropriated
up to this time by the various
States reaches we'll over 100000,
and this sum is likely to be in
creased largely until the fna
amount expended by the State
will approximate if not ex coed
one million and a half dollars.

A CHAIN OF MASTERS

cluCicd his testimony before the Sem

Ell up after the reports Of the board of

re said the red tape necessary to the
system involved in governmental work
compelled him to favor the contract
plan of building the canal in order to
expedite its completion. He thought the
man in charge of the work on the 18th
mus should be the undisputed head,
with the governor Of the zone second.
and the man who has charge ot the
procuring of supplies and men third in
authority.
Tho present arrangements he said,
amounted to a chain of masters with
the chairman Of the commission, an ex-
ecutive commissioner. Mr.. Crowell. Sec.
Taft and the President, grading to Mr..
Mr.. Stevens or the man in actual
charge of operations on the isthmus. He
said Mr.. Cromwell had been included
as one of tn" masters for the reason
that he seemed to have certain undis-
putcI influence which entitled him to
be classed in the chain.
Headquarters of the commission
should be on the iathmus. Mr.. Wallace
said. ana the harder the communication
with Washington the legs the work
would be retarded. He thought the en-
sineer in charge was not paid an eX-
Cessive salary.
