 BASE BALL LEAGUE
Phoenix Figures in PIaBs of Former National League
 Manager

Albuquerque, Feb. 2l.-Forced to re- main in the Southwest for consider
 able time for his health, Frank G. Sc lee, for three seasons manager of the pennant winning Boston National League team. has turned his attention to baseball in the local field, and is moving for the organization of league to take ir three of the larger towns in
 New Mexico, Fl Paso, Texas, and a
 Phoenix team. Plans for the forma-
 tion of this proposed league are still
 in a formative state, but with man
 of the executive ability of the former National League manager at the head of the movement, something of def nite and satisfactory nature seems very likely to come from 1t.
 For several days past correspond. ence has been passing between Mir Selee and Albuquerque and Fl Paso men, who are interested in baseball and this correspondence has led to a definite understanding that MT. Selee lis to look over the field very thorough ly in the immediate future. He will come to Albuquerque within the next ten days, and it is probable that he
 will make his headquarters here. Be fore coming to Albuquerque MT. Selee will go to Fl Paso, where he will take up the aIl1mportant question of rates
 with the division passenger agent oi the Santa Fe, the road which will be
 used chiefly by the teams in the pro posed league.

FIREMAN'S SMOKER I,FAREWELL TO NEMICK
Fire Warden Highly COmpIi. mented On Good Work
 For Department

A farewell smoker was given last night by the fire department in honor of William J. Nemick, who recently resigned his position as fire warden on account of leaving the city. A vote of thanks was rendered him for his faithful service during his association with the fire department. Several short addresses were made. each one commenting Mir Nemick for his good work for the department, and express ing regret that he was soon to leave the city.
 Mir. Nemick was elected fire warden by the. City Council on recommends. ton of every member of the fire de partment. He has filled the position with great credit to himself and the entire. satisfaction of the department, and City Council. During his asso. citation with the fire department he has not missed attending a meeting. and has always stood for what would make the department more proficient. He is to return to Joliet, H., in two weeks, where he has secured a good position and will make his future home.
 At the meeting of the fire depart. ment, it was authorized that five spe- cial policemen be sworn in to act of. ficially during a fire only. Their du. ties will be to keep the crowds from congregating around the firemen, pre- venting them from performing their work, and to keep anyone from driving over the hose when laid across the road. This quorum of special police. men was found necessary during the burning of the city pound, when sev. eral hacllmen disregarded the signals and drove over the fire hose, damag ing them greatly.
 Those recommended for deputization are I, W. Wallace. Jake Smith, NJ Newman, Jim Kreigbaum and James Nichols.
 Two new members were elected to membership. They are Jim Kenney and Ernest Rogers.
 c. NJ. Henkel, chief of the fire de partment, addressed the meeting, in which he told of the good work per formed by MT. Nemick during his posi- tion as fire warden, and highly compli. mented him upon his good work.
 Certificates were received to be is sued to the members of the fire de. partmnt who have served two or more years. They are handsomely engrav ed, being bordered with series oi pictures, showing the firemen in des peraie struggle with disastrous fire Among those who will receive these - certificates are Jake Smith. I. w. Wal lace, Jim Kreigbaum, c. L. Beckwith S. w. Ciawson, George Towles, Peter Johnson, Joe Muheim. Henry Hennin ger and Dan Walsh.
 It was recommended that the City Council order two more hose carts one of which is to be placed on Dual fly Hill. Suggestions to the Council concerning the extension of mains are to be presented at the next meeting oi the Council.

OFFICERS HAVE CLUE
 TO STORE BREAKERS
Believed To Be Trio of Mexican Boys In Red
 Light District

Officers believe they have located the store breakers who have commit ted so many of the burglaries within the past three months. They have the information which leads to the belief that it is three Mexican boys who live in the Red Light district.
 Two weeks ago Officer Jack White suspicioned one of the boys whose father he knew The officer told the falher- that the next time be caught the boy down town after dark he in- tended to arrest him. For two weeks the Mexican boy stayed off of the streets, during which time there were no burgiaries committed. Monday night, however, Gus Hickey's store was entered and several articles stol. en- The entrance was made through a window which had been broken with . rock
 Officer Doyle, when he heard of the burglary, went direct to the Mexican boy and told him to get the goods.

gave him $500 to help him in the fight
and $3.50 to reimburse him for his ex-
penditures already made.
Since that time Mr.. Jesup has taken
deep interest in the Comstock cru
sades and has given his money free

house in 1873 by prominent citizens,
the New York Society for the Sup
preston OF Vice was formed and Mr..
Comstock was engaged as its agent at
a regular salary.
A determined attack on the pub
fishers and vendors of obscene litera-
ture and pictures was at once begun,
and at a fitting time, for never had
there been so many and such brazen
violations of the laws of the land and
decency as at that time. Advertise

pers and thousands of circulars were
distributed by the dealers, many of the
circulars being placed in the hands of
children as they left school. An in

After the law went into effect Sena-

to take a position as postoffice inspect

cepted the position. but declined the
salary, on the ground that he might be
placed under obligations to politicians
and on March 9th, 1873, was made a
special agent of the department, which
commission has been renewed each
year since then.

to have the law repealed, and in 1887

by unlimited money and the most
adroit lobbyists, was presented to Con-

agent without pay. He is allowed five
cents per mile mileage and 81. so per

his physique did not require a very

company of the force. Its members
were all athletes and it had to its
credit an unparalleled record Of bril-
liant and impossible rescues.
At these words of the old man, grim
smiles broke over the faces of the half
dozen men present. A young fireman,
one Of the most powerful and athletic
Of the entire department, replied:
"Why, grandpap, We have to do
things here when the bell rings. Chill
dren aren't allowed on the force"
Il know they are not, sonny, but
after all, I judge that age isn't the
only thing that counts In this game"

back with scorched hair and blistered
hands.
A cry from the crowd to the right
attracted the attention of fremen and
spectators, and all held their breath,
as little old man was seen. climbing,
with the agility of cat, the galvan-
lied waterspout on the corner of the
building. Reaching the top and grasp
ing the cornice, he rapidly worked
himself along until he was directly
over the open window. He must have
had a wonderfully correct eye, for as
he seemed to expect, his left foot
reached just to the top of the scaling
ladder below him. Placing his foot
firmly upon the slight support, he re-
leased first one hand and then the
other, sliding them along the rough
brick side of the building, as If
grasping an imaginary rope. Cau-
tiously lowering himself to a STOPPING
position, he suddenly threw himself
inside the open window, as the ladder,
burned near the middle, fell to the
ground with crash. With scarce a
moments loss of time he reappeared
and piled several thick books upon the
window sill. Then with the child
strapped tightly upon his back, he bal
anced carefully upon these, reached
up and again grasped the cornlce. The
firemen at once realized what a des-
perate plan he was about to attempt
and quickly placed another ladder just
around the corner of the building, not
yet reached by the flames. Slowly and
carefully the old man, with his pre-
cious burden clinging to his shoulders,
worked his way along the insecure
gutter, his progress at times painfully
retarded and the distance seemed
great Would he heat the flames IN
the race? Would he be able to hold
out, encumbered as he was? The great
crowd below held its breath. Finally
he clutched the projection at the cor
ner and swung his feet upon the
rounds of the ladder. Long tongues

the heavy weights as If they were hol-

The men looked sharply at one an
other. Not the best of them could give
such an exhibition of strength. The
sergeant was just growing, "Old man,
who might you be, anyway" when the
alarm gong sounded, the firemen
sprang to their places and the little
old athlete was temporarily forgotten.
A close observer, however, might have
noted him dart out Of the door and
vanish around the corner with the
speed of trained runner.
The fire was in a lately finished
apartment house and was well under
way when the engines arrived. Lad
ders were quickly placed against the
building, and the brave firemen made
many trips, up and down, rescuing the
frightened occupants. Finally all the
inmates appeared to be saved and ef-
forts were directed toward extinguish-
ing the fire or preventing its spread.
Suddenly, everyone was startled by
