Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Denver, Colo, April 11.-Coliseum
hall has been transformed into a
bower of beauty for Denvers annual
automobile show, which opens today
and will last through tomorrow and
Saturday. The promoters announced
that the Denver show would be the
most elaborate in its decorations Of
any local exhibition held in the coun-
try this year. and their promises have
been more than made good. The prin-
cipal effect is made by pleasing COM
bination of spring blossoms and
sprays with thousands of colored cleo
trio light bulbs, giving an atmosphere
of spring to the big hall. The color
scheme Is purple and white and is
modelled after the Boston show. Prac-
tically all of the automobile dealers
of the city have placed their latest
models on exhibition, the demand for
floor space being far in excess of that
available for the show. In point of
the number and variety of new models
the show is a record breaking one for
the Rocky Mountain district. Agents
and motor car enthusiasts from all
parts of the west have been invited
and will be in attendance. The show
will be a social as we'll as a trade
affair and local swelldom is prepar-
ing to turn out in force to inspect the
new styes in motor cars and wear
ing apparel,

EVERYTHING LOOKS
GOOD FOR A
LEAGUE
Minot Man Arrived Last Night
All Towns Are Enthus-
iastic About Baseball.

At continuance last night of the
baseball conference called on Wednes-
day afternoon at the Commercial club
rooms, the name prairie league" was
suggested as title for the propos ed
circuit, comprising Of Bemidji Crooks
ton, Grand Forks. Grafton. Devils
Lake, Minct. Fargo, Jamestown and
Bismarck. A. circuit committee con-
sisting OF w. s. Lycan OF Crcokston,
w. j. Price of Fargo and James Dim
ME OF Grand Forks was appointed.
Q. +. Leonard. representing the
Minot Commercial club, arrived last
evening after delay along the road.
Minct wants in tho league as was
stated by the Minot man in no uncer-
tain terms. why" he said to an
Evening Times man in the Dacotah
last evening. the business men got
together yesterday afternoon and
pledged anything up to $4,000 and it
didn't take more than a hall hour
either" Last evening Mr.. Leonard re-
ceived a phone message from Presi-
dent L. NJ. Davis of tho Minot CONNER
cial club. stating that the Minot man
ayers had just got hold OF lease on
a centrally located ball park.
Mr.. Leonard went west this morn
ing and is in Devils Lake today trying
to get the Lakers to fall in line. The
only drawback at the lake seems to be
in the Chautauqua team, but it is
stated that DR.. Sweetland NAV desire
to get into tho league.
1t has been argued that unless
Devils Lake and jamestown get into
the game, financial success would be
a a
Jumps. However. a glance at the map
discloses that the jumps will not be
SO great as to seriously handicap man
ayers. From Minot to Bismarck 1t is
only 1873 miles going by way of Drake
and Max. There is short gap be-
tween the roads which could easily be
covered in rigs.
1t is very probable that East Grand
Forks and Grand Forks will unite on
one team with the playing grounds in
East Grand Forks. A park in that
city would be close to the business
section OF Grand Forks, and team
would receive the undivided support
O.. both cities.
Bemidji phoned again last night that
$1,000 had been raised in few min
utes, for the backing OF team.
AT the meeting last evening the
salary question was disposed of, the
limit being set at 5000 per month. s25
Is to be put up for a visiting team and
$25 in case of rain. A deposit of 5000
will be required from each team as a
guarantee of finishing out the playing
season.
The conference was adjourned sine
die, the next meeting time and place,
to be subject to the call of w. ]. Price.
The playing season as proposed yes
terday, will open on May 80, and con-
tinue until the middle of August, maxi
ing schedule Of two and one-half
months.

the Michigan Chicago controversy by
declaring Michigan's desires to be-
come a member of the eastern ath-

the united action of the eight other
members of the conference group.
Capps state that Chicago. together
with seven other members of the big

withdraw from the group for failure
to accept and abide by its laws. The

Memphis. Tenn, April 11.-Members
of the eleven ChCristian Endeavor So
cieties of Memphis are giving hearty
welcome to the numerous delegates ar
irving here today for the eighteenth
annual state convention. Over 200 Wis
itors, including several distinguished
religious workers from other states,
will take part in the four days ses-
sion. The Court Avenue Presbyterian
church, where all sessions will be held,
has been lavishly decorated for the &C.
casion in blue and gold, the official
colors of the Christian Endeavcr socie-
ty. Among the we'll known speakers
who will address the convention are
William Shaw of Boston, general Sec
rotary of the Christian Endeavorers of
the World: Dr.. Ira Landrith of Nash
Vile, the Rev. Neal Anderson, the Rev.
Cary Morgan and the Rev. VIM. P.
Thurston. A chorus of 1875 voices, un-
der the direction of d. Frank Erwin,

New York, April 11.-Under condi-
tons most suspicious. the two big
leagues today enter upon what should
be a season of unalloyed enjoyment
for the fans. since there is every pros
pect of an exciting race and many
surprises. Many changes have taken
place since last year in the line-ups
and management of the teams and as
a result it is likely that some of last
seasons second division clubs will be
found fighting for championship hon
Ors.
In the American league five teams,
those of Chicago, Cleveland, New York,
Philadelphia and st. Louis, are looked
upon as having a chance to win the
flag. Despite their glorious victory of
last season, the Chicago White Sox
do not enter the race as favorites.
Many fans look with disfavor upon
the exhibition put up by the Sox in
the games played this spring, but it
must be remembered that the cham
pions were always slow starters. Nap
Lajoie's Cleveland bunch is picked as
a winner by many baseball experts,
and If hard swatting can earn the
bunting the Clevelands should bring
it home. New York is almost GER
tainly first division contender. and
Philadelphia should also finish among
the first four. St. Louis and Detroit
are likely to fight it out for the lead
ership of the second division, with
Boston and Washington the probable
contenders for the ignominious posi-
ton of tail-ender.
The Chicago Cubs remain the best
bet in the National league race, but
not the eloquence of a Demosthenes
could convince Muggsy McGraw of
that. 1t Is a cinch that the Giants
will be in the race from the start.
The New Workers are never cutters
and they will be the players the Cubs
will have to beat to get the pennant.
1t is conceded that Pittsburg, Brook
Ign and Philadelphia will put up a
hard fight and have a possible look
in for the championship. Brooklyn
is more than likely to be the sensa-
ton of the season and many dope ar
lists pick that team to finish well to-
ward the front Cincinnati and Bos-
ton are second division certainties
and st. Louis already has the BOBBY
prize put away.
In the American league this year
three clubs, those of Boston, Wash
ington and Detroit. are under new
management. Stahl is we'll qualified
for the position through his close al
lance with Jimmy Collins, the for
mer manager of the Beaneaters. Great
things are expected of him by the
Boston fans. but the tail end again

EAT ALL KINDS
OF MILEAGE
While Roaming Around Coun-
try, Houghton Will Spend
Lots Of Money.

The fan with penchant for figures
may dig some interesting facts out of
the schedule of the Northern Copper
Country Baseball league published in
Tuesdays issue of the Evening Times.
The scattered circuit of the Northern
Copper Country league has made that
Organization the butt of the efforts of
the funny" men who handle the
per. But the "Grasshopper" league
has lived through more trying yicissi-
tudes than being subjected to ridicule
by the pens of the jokesmiths and it
promises to live through the present
season.
When one comes to look over the
Northern Copper Country league cir
cult, 1t certainly is shoestring affair.
With but four teams in the league and
I'll miles from one extremity to the
other, there Is more truth than poetry
In the term "Grasshopper" league.
The teams will have to do some jump
Ing to each play ITO games in seven

The Winnipeg team, If the present
schedule is strictly adhered to. viii
travel but 1864 miles during the sea-
son. Duluth will go 1904 miles. The
Calumet team will cover 6,228 miles
along the circuit and the Houghton
team will be the champion travellers,
at 1oocf with & QdQ haP
That's travelling some for a four-club
league.
Here is the way the teams will
travel:
Houghton-To Winnipeg, four round
trips, 5,568; to Calumet, twenty-six
round trips. $50 miles; total, 6,34S
miles.
Calumet-To Winnipeg. four round
trips, 5,6SS miles; to Houghton, eigh-
teen round trips, $40 miles; total
6,288 miles.
Duluth-To Winnipeg, four round
trips. $500 miles; to Houghton. two
round trips, 1924 miles; between
Houghton and Calumet, twelve round
trips, 800 miles; total, 1904 miles.
Winnipeg-To Houghton, two round
trips. 1854 miles; to Duluth, one
round trip, $50 miles; between Hough-
ton and Calumet. ten round trips, 800
miles; total, 1884.
The total team mileage of the league
will thus be 21,444. At the rate of 2
cents mile, the railroads of the Cir
cult will receive from the league
$5,146.56, divided among the different
teams as follows: Houghton, $685.
90; Calumet, $1,494.72; Duluth, ST.
1866; Winnipeg. $951.36.
Add the sleeper, diner, hotel and in
cidental expenses, together with sal
aries, to those figures and it may be
seen that the fans will have to dig
for their quarters to keep the teams
on their feet. But il good ball is
forthcoming. the fans will dig and
willingly.

Artie 0'Dea Seems to Have Made a
Decision Finally.

Coy Artie o'Dea appears to have
made up his mind. at last After
flirting with the Duluth White Sox,
Fon du Lac and goodness knows what,
Artie has turned his dreamy eyes to-
ward western Canada. Jack Morri-
son, who managed the Calumet team
last year and threw few easy ones
from the south once in while, has
charge of the Lethbridge team of the
western Canada league. Artie looks
good to John and when he held out
a sheet of paper with some figures
on it. John looked good to Artie.
Artie grabbed. and Morrison is now
waiting for the signed document. The
last bulletin from Secretary Farrell
of the national commission says that
O'Dea has accepted terms with Leth-
bridge and accepting terms is about
as good as signing contract in the
eyes of the national commission. So
1t looks like the land across the bor-
der for Artie.

This association owns the old farm of 12O acres aall the little old log cabin of one room. With dirt floor, in which the great pres. ident first saw the light.
 Some years ago the cabin was taken down and carried away, being set IF, tor exhibition purposes. It has bee , seen III several states, and for time the logs were stored in Connecticut A year ago the Lincoln Farm association got possession of the weather beaten logs, strapped them to a flat freinll, car and had them hauled back to Ken lucky. Thousands of reverent patriots gathered at the towns and cities along the way to see these sacred relies of a national hero. The cabin was set un again, log for log, as it stood when Tom and Nancy Lincoln and their lit tie boy Abe lived in it on the farm near Hodgenville. Ky. For the present the cabin is m park at Louisville but 1t is to be removed in due time and placed upon its original site.

 tralization and an unwise extension 0 the federal power. In reply to thesa contentious Senator Beverdge urges that, while in some states there .a1e good laws against child labor, in otl CTS the laws are either inefficient DY poorly. enforced and that the matte, as i national evil can only be de;!s with adequately by national law.
 Child labor laws exist already r. many states, and in several new g,s- ernors inaugurated in January masia recommendations as to such legislatit.a.
 The factory inspector of Pennsyl vania ill a recent address stated that In the tobacco making establishments of Pittsburg children as young as eight and nine years could be found at work
 Missouri has an anti chlid labor law, but the labor unions are agitating for It's amendment and more rigid enforce. ment of the statute.
 Senator Beveridge illustrated his speech in the senate with photographs showing the conditions amid which children sometimes work He points out that as the result of labor under such conditions many die, while others grow up dwarfed, crooked and weak, their minds dulled and cloudeti and their souls darkened and vicious He maintains that many more children are employed in factories than the census figures show. The senator tells of d tiny girl seven years old who worked twelve hours a day in a canning fac tory in Maryland, a state having o~er 200 establishments employing children. John Spargo, author of ''The Bitter Cry of the Children" tells of a little girl in Atlanta. Ga, who said, "When work nights I's too tired to undress when I gets home, and so goes to bed with my clothes on.'' The noted writer, H. q. Wells, says: "In Massachusetts little naked boys are packing cloth into bleaching vats in bath of chemicals that bleaches their little bodies like the bodies of lepers In the south there are six times as many children at work as twenty years ago, in Pennsylvania children of ten and twelve stoop over chutes- and pick out slate. and in Illinois they stand ankls deep in blood, cleaning fiji testines and trimming neat"
