The letter Of Joseph e. Cunningham

that were It IN his power to abolish
the saloon in the District Of Columbia,
it would be done In short order. and
believe he will use his influence TO
make Washington a dry" city. The
whole country is aroused over the
liquor question. and States like Ken

Editor The Washington Herald:
An old advertisement Of the telephone

no longer deserves that position.

President Morton Is using great
discretion In the appointment OF
umpires for the coming season. lie
is being besieged with requests for
appointments and trials" and up
to the present has received about 100
letters from men. both old and
young. who aspire to become arbi-
traitors.
President Morton intends going
outside the league cities as much as
possible In naming his appointees
and to date has secured two able
men. William List, who proved
himself the best umpire in the
league last season. signed con-
tract a week or ten days ago and
it has been forwarded to Secretary
Farrell The other man who has
accepted terms Is none other than
Arlie Latham. the old time ball
player, who Is now officiating as
referee in the Interstate Polo league.
Latham came to an understanding
with President Morton few days
since, and he will undoubtedly sign
his contract within few days.
Another man whom President
Morton hopes to land is Bill Ban
non, goal tender for the Canton
polo team, Bill Is an old time
ball payer, being member of the
famous Bannon fami OF players.
He is a big fellcw, a quick thinker
and has all the requisite qualities
Iof a god umpire. Should Morton
be fortunate enough to land him,
