JESSUP UM THE FENCE

CHANGED-HAS TWO OTHER
GOOD OFFERS.

w. A. Dugan, who was president OF
the Marion. Ind baseball association
last year, is anxious to break into the
Central league and in case franchise
is open he will try TO get it, He has
asked Clarence Jessup of this city, 10
captain his team, in case Marion gets
in the Central League. Jessup has
as yet not consented to accept the Of
fer. as he hopes to land Richmond a
franchise in the same league in case
the managers at their annual meeting
this month, decide to change the cir
cult.
Jessup thinks that some of the towns
will be dropped and circuit of towns
in easy distance of each other will
form the new league. He says that
ne has been approached by at least
twenty-five business men who are will
ling TO take stock in a baseball assO-
citation and want him TO promote it.
Baseball will employ Jessup's time
for the coming summer, no matter
whether it be in Richmond Marion, or
elsewhere. AS the popular little
catcher puts it, money talks. Jes-
sup now has offers from the minor
league teams at Sioux City and
Shreveport, and is promised try out

Statement to Palladium from
Red Cross Tells of Terrible
Suffering.
HUNDREDS ALREADY DYING
THERE IS NO HOPE OF RELIEF
BEFORE THE RiPENING OF THE
NEW CROPS NEXT JUNE-HELP
SOLICITED.

Ine following statement in regard te
the terrible conditions in China, has
been received by the Palladium from
Washington:
Reports from Shanghai lately re
ceived by the Red Cross tell of the
terrible devastation along the Grand
Canal caused by the heavy summer
rains. In July much of the country
was already under water from knee
deep to waist deep, and in some piac-
es the people had to wade through
water up to their necfs. West OF the
canal, what was formerly fertil3
plain covered with good crops and
prosperous hamlets is now a vast lake
extending so Ii at the narrowest point
and stretching 100 Ii out toward the
southwest. Here and there are
groups of cottages which rise above
the sheet of water, and can only be
reached by boats. The people are in
an absolute state Of restitution, not
only their crops, but also the reeds
which constitute their fuel, being de-
stroyed by the floods.
''In district about 200 miles in
length and 100 miles in width on each
side of the Grand canal, total area
of 10000 square miles, the crops have
been almost totally destroyed and IL
the country beyond only partial crops
have been saved. 1t is certain that
one-half or two-thirds of the popula-
ton of 100000 or 100000 of the
affected region will be on the verge of
starvation during the winter and tens
of thousands must perish unless nelp
is given.
Thousands of houses have also
been destroyed, and men, women and
children have left their homes to beg
Some throw their chill
dren into the water and then commit
suicide: others are selling their chill
dren for almost nothing. Farmers are
forced to sell their work animals to
buy food, and have no wheat to plant
next years crop Hundreds are al
ready dying from famine and fever III
their desolate and foodless homes.
There is no hope of relief before the
ripening of the new crops next June,
and the conditions of these millions In
the flooded country will be indescr,5-
ably awful during the winter. The
need is so urgent that the response for
I'd should be generous and prompt to
the sufferings of these starv-
ng multitudes.

IPub1ishers, Iress

New York, Jan. cit became
known tonight that the condition of
E. III. Hartman has changed for the
worse within the last day of so. His
friends are now seriously alarmed
about him.
Incorporation which Mr.. Hartman
underwent about a week ago and
which was expected to give him re-
lief. has proved TO have been not
altogether successful, and his condi-
ton at this time is as bad if not worse
than it has been at anytime pre-
vious
Mr.. Hartman had been expected TO
appear before the Interstate Com
merce Commission either Friday or
Saturday, but at the opening of the
hearing counsel for the Union Paci-
fic Railroad declared that its presi-
dent would be unable to testify.
The commission will sit in Chicago
on Tuesday. John c. Milburn, who.
with ex-Judge Robert S. Lovett, is
representing the Union Pacific inter-
ests at the hearings, was asked if it
would be possible for Mr. Hartman
to appear before the commission
there. Mr.. Milburn's reply was not
hopeful. He said that Mr. Hartman
would certainly not be able to ap-
pear in Chicago in the early part OF
the week, and he added that is was
unlikely that Mr.. Hartman would be
able to testify for a week at least
Reports tonight confirmed the i'm
preston that Mr. Harriman's condi-
ton is really more serious than has

The Week Alter.

It's the week after Christmas,
And up to your neck
With feelings impatient
You wade through the wreck.
The CHASTITY remains are
As though they had had
A railway collision
Or something a bad.
The toys that were gaudy
And painted and gay
When Santa Claus dropped them
And fastened away
Now lie in disorder
All scattered about
The brave soldiers wounded
The armies in rout.
The hobbyhorse, once
A high spirited nag.
Would now at the races
Be left at the flag:
A runner most useful
Has gone from the sled:
The drums in commissions
Though minus a head.
The dolls and the dishes
Are battered and bent
And not like the ones that
Dear Santa Claus sent.
Already the children
Have given them the shake
A ] stand around longing
For new ones to break.
