SALVATION ARMY'S NEW
COLONIZATION PLAN

The coming fall will witness the inau-
guration of a new colonization plan by
the Salvation Army. says the philadelphia
Record. Deserving families from the
large cities will be directed TO carefully
selected districts in the northern part OF
the south, where landowners are willing
TO provide not only land and houses. but
also implements, horses and even seed,
and where advances for necessary grocer
les can be obtained on the security OF the
tenants share of the crops. thousand
families are now ready 20 go from the
cities into the south as fast AS the army
can arrange for them.
In locating families In the south two
plans will be followed. In every instance
where possible the arrangement will be
such that at the end of a certain number
of years the tenant shall have the option
Of purchasing the land upon which hs Is
located. Where this is not possible the
newcomer will locate on the strictly ten
ant plan. without option of future pur-
chase Even In this case he has the ad-
vantage of beginning as a farmer. and
with what he can gather together as
tenant ne will be able to buy some land
on his own account.
The part Of the south In which the
new colonization work is TO be carried
on will be largely In the Carolinas ana
Virginia These sections are compara-
lively near the congested east, and good
farm land is cheaper In the south than In
any other part OF the country. Z
The arrangement which can be made
with landowners, who also furnish houses,
implements, horses and seed. is usually
that the tenant shall keep one-half of all
he produces. An officer OF the Salvation
Army will meet all families upon their
arrival In thu different districts and for
a time at least will visit them each week
10 give advice and help them to get start
ed.
The slogan of the Salvation Army in all
its great colonial work is The landess
man for tho maness land"

Railroad Presidents Do Not Censlaen Themselves Asked to White Heuse.

Railroad Prcsidents Do Not Conalaen
 Themselves Asked to White Heuse.
 NEW YORK, March 16.--It is under. stood that four railroad presidents whose visit to President Roosevelt was suggested by J. Pierpont Morgan have decided not to go.
 These presidents were McCrea of tho Pennsylvania. Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, Newman of the New York Central and Hughitt of the Chicago and Northwestern. Having failed to receive an invitation to participate in White House con- ference, they held a conference of their own in this city.
 Mir. Morgan's departure for Europe has left them in very embarrassing situation. Mir Roosevelt in conversn. tion with Mir. Morgan last week refer red to the railroad situation several times. In reply to a question by the president as to the technical conditions MT. Morgan said:
 T am not railroad man, Mir. Presi. dent and cannot discuss intimate de- tails of railroading satisfactorily. am banker and am conversant only as to the banking end of railroads. Why don't you meet some representa-. tive railroad men and go over these matters with them?'
 While they understand that their names were given to the president as the men best fitted to talk on the sub ject, they do not consider that they have been formally invited. and they do not wish to place themselves in position of seeking such conference on their own account
 Governor Deneen and Attorney Gen. eIal Stead of Illinois, who were in- vited to Washington by President Roosevelt are here and will call at the White House today. While Governor Deneen refuses to discuss the object of his conference with the president, It can be authoritatively stated that the Chicago and Alton deal and other dis closures brought out at the recent Har- riman investigation will be discussed, and the situation in general will b. gone over.

RIVAL POLO LEAGUE.
Baseball Managers Had a Quiet Meet.
 ing in Hartford Yesterday.

Hartford, March16.--A rival polo league was launched in this city yes- terday at meeting of baseball mag mates who find that time hangs heavy on their hands in the winter time. Some of the magnates thought it would be good scheme to be in sport all the year round, playing baseball in summer and polo in winter.
 The scheme was talked over by the baseball managers when they met at the schedule meeting in New Haven but they did not care to have any thing said about 1t at that time. The meeting here yesterday was sort of gumshoe affair, the managers gath ering quietly and there was no salute of seventeen guns when they left.
 The managers are not yet ready to announce their complete plans but they have decided that they will not start the new opposition roller polo league until next winter About all their time is taken up now with base ball work as 1t will be but short time before the teams report. It is expected to have everything in run ming order by the early part of next winter and then there will be polo war that will equal some of the brigand fights in the Gilbert & Sul- liyan operas. t#s
 Hartford, Springfield, Holyoke, Waterbury, New Haven and Bridge port are the cities that are to have franchises in the new league.
 At the meeting yesterday the scheme was talked over more exten- sively than at the New Haven gath ering. The present polo managers have been making a good thing out of the game and the baseball people think there is plenty of room for another association.
 All the six cities were represented at the meeting yesterday, James H Clarkin of this city having proxy for Cornelius J. Danaher of Meriden who owns the New Haven baseball Il club. Holyoke sent down Manager Tommy Dowd and Fred Winkler Daniel O'Neil is to manage the Springfield polo team and James H O'Rourke will have charge of the one in Bridgeport. Clarkin is to run the game at this end, Danaher will have the New Haven franchise and it is understood that Harold R. Durant will stand for Waterbury. The Wa. terbury Athletic association will ge, the franchise and the Holyoke Base. ball association will have the fran chise there.
 ! The present roller polo league is in a good position to fight of any new association, as there are capable off. cers at the head of it and the man agers have had experience. The managers went into the game this winter when it was question wheth. CT there was anything in it and now that they have succeeded it is not ex. pected that they will give way to a new set of men. Some interesting developments may be expected soon
