 N. Foley's assistant wheeled around from the forge holding aloft a sizzling redhot horseshoe, and there was trouble on the brow of him as he exclaimed with a threatening swing of the redhot shoe: "Gwan!"

Open River Shippinu.

Pittsburg, December 29,-Withn q few days the large river shippers in the Pitts burg district will have use of the great est inland harbor in the world. Only two or three days work remains to complete the system of locks and dams built on the upper Ohio river, between Pitts burg and the mouth of the Beaver river at Beaver, and by the time the low water season comes, the entire chain of six dams will be ready for operation. The harbor of Pittsburg, which has here tofore been confined between Davis Island dam and Lock No. 1, and one on the Monongahelia river, will be extended to Merrill, or Dam No 6, on the Ohio river. a distance of over 70 miles from Pitts burg. This will enable river shippers to take millions of bushels of coal that must needs to make a wait for freshets to move coal and other products to south- ern ports The improvement cost the government close to $5,000,000.

TEBEAU AGAIN CHARM AN

Chicago, December 29.-The matter of the proposed invasion of the Chicago baseball field by the American association will be taken up at Cincinnati January 6, between President O'Brien of the Amer ican association and the national com mission, which meets in the Ohio city on that date.
 MT. O Brien was appointed as a commit tee of one for the purpose of taking up territorial rights with the national com mission at the annual meeting of the American association here today. MT. O'Brien said that the meeting was a highly satisfactory one, that the presi- dents of all clubs in the association were present. Other business accomplished was the reelection of George Tebeau of Kansas City as chairman of the board of directors and of M. c. Cantillon of Min neapolis, vice president of the organiza- ton.
 A schedule committee, composed of Te beau and Cantillon and President Bryce of Columbus, O., was chosen to draw up a schedule of 154 games for 1908. The 1907 pennant was formally awarded to Co., lumbus.
 Leaders at Loss.
 Baseball leaders are at a loss to in- terpret the action of the associat tion re- garding the Chicago question. President Ban Johnson of the American league, who is member of the national commits sion, asserted tonight that the latter body had no jurisdiction over the ques- ton, and had already refused to act in similar case when the Western league attempted to take Topeka from the Vest ern association.
 "The matter concerns only the National and American leagues" said President Johnson. "The American association can be granted the right to establish a club in Chicago only by the unanimous vote of the Is clubs comprising the two ma jor leagues. I do not see what the socation can gain by appealing to the na- tional commission. It must not be for gotten, either in this connection that the American league has already instructed me to oppose any attempt to place a third club in this city"
 C. A. Comiskey and c. W. Murphy, presidents of the American and National league clubs of Chicago, refused to dis cuss the situation.
 The American association club owners themselves referred all inquiries to Presi- dent OBren. The latter said that there was no publication to be given out. Other saction taken today was interpreted as Fan attempt to gain time, the time being considered scarcely ripe for so radical a move as invading the territory of the major leagues in the face of almost cer- tain opposition and it's consequences.

Governor vardaman of Mississippi jour- neyed with me from Vicksburg to Jack son. He has pursued a policy upon this entire question that in my Judgment is more advanced than that of any other governor in this country, though it IS little known and understood outside his own state. His messages to the legls- lature upon prison reform, embodying as they do an advocacy of everything per- staining to the juvenile court and proba- tion system, are equaled nowhere In all the literature of the subject
 Both candidates for governor of Louis jena have publicly expressed views sim liar to those of Governor Yardaman.
 Governor Haskell of Oklahoma ex- pressed to me the keenest appreciation of the entire subject The system ef courts in Oklahoma, especially in it's provision for a county court in each county, equipped with sufficient chancery and criminal Jurisdiction to do all tile work of the juvenile court, both as to children and adults, makes this state in- solar as it's constitutional system of courts is concerned, admirably adapted for a statewide and effective system of juvenile courts. The system is so estab- lished that the school law, child labor law, law forbiddng the sale of intoxi- cants, tobacco and firearms to children, and substantially every other law that pertains to their welfare may be en- forced in the same court before the same judge-an advantage that has made for the efficiency of the Denver juvenile court
