BALL TEAM Is HERE.
Efforts Being Made to Secure Arm
strong for Manager.

If events can be pulled off as planned
by Manager Herman Grow of the local
baseball team there will be a decided
change made within a very few days.
The plan is to bring Louis Armstrong
of Joplin here to manage the local
team 1t has been announced from Jop-
lin that Armstrong is to be released as
a result of the change in ownership of
that team and that he will be out of a
job. 1t is not known here as yet
whether the release has been given him
or not.
Manager Grow has been trying all day
to get Armstrong over the long distance
telephone but as yet has not been sue
cessful. If Grow can get into communi-
cation with Armstrong and If the latter
is free to sign little difficulty is expected
in bringing the Joplin manager to To-
peka.
His presence at this period of the race
would fill a double want in the local
team. Armstrong is a fair catcher and
could work behind the bat and as a
directing general he is about as good as
they make them in this brush. His
career as manager in the Western as
sociatio has been successful. With
players of inferior quality he has al
ways succeeded in running close race
for the rag and should he take charge
OF the locals he could be depended upon
to bring the Champs up to the second
place in the race.
No news which would be welcomed
more by the local fans could be printed
than e DEFINITE announcement TO the
effect that Armstrong would be here in
a few days. The fans are not pleased
with the showing which the team is
making at the present time and are not
disposed to favor the games with much

to turn up, negro resorts in the bot
toms, and was doing just enough spot
ting work to keep in the good graces
of Eaton.
Monday pie was released to go to
work at the brick yards. with the I'M
derstanding that he should pay IS per
week on his fine. He spent both Mon
day and last night in sneaking around
the Jail, and passing liquor to prison
ers inside. Day, the prisoner who
was caught saving out of the Jail, was
bowling drunk at the time, and his
clumsy work, which. called the atten-
ton of officers to the affair, was due
to this jag. Prisoners have been sup
piled with liquor whenever they had
the medium of exchange to induce
trusty "Pie" to deliver the goods.
"A bad negro, Arthur Walden, who
ing his sweetheart, was in Jail earlier
in the day, but had been removed to
the county jail about o'clock for
safe keeping. 1t has been learned by
the officers that Walden told his
sweetheart that he killed a freight
brakeman in the Newton yards in
1905 andsthe officers wanted him kept
safe Until dheysccould investigate his
record. Itsis believed by some of the
officers that t'PieR had made arrange
r1fents to help Walden to escape and
did not know his friend had been re-
moved to the county Jail.
This is but another illustration OF
the undesira bility of unmatched
TRUSTEES around the Jail. and the Of
ficers will be glad when the city

ranged for Boyd the deposed guard.

"PIE" IN DISGRACE.
Notorious Negro Fastened to Ball and

The beauty of the "trusty'' system

Ross and Detective Hutton caught

away, and it is suspected that pie
passed the saws into the cell. The
negro had been seen standing on
pile of beer cases under the window
before the attempted Jail delivery was
discovered. The saws were taken
away from Day, and another one was
found in the cell room this morning.
In all, there were four saws, one of
officers threw pie into the dungeon.

About a month ago "Pie'' was fined
so days in Jail for larceny. He es-
capped four times in less than ten days

OBJECTS TO SLAUGHTER HOUSE.
DR.. Sturgis Makes Protest Against Prospec.
tive One ct Greenpoint.

Dr. Elizabeth StuTgis. of Brooklyn, bespoke the
good Offices of the Womens Health Protective AS
sociation at its regular meeting in the Academy
Of Medicine Monday afternoon TO prevent the
erection Of slaughter house in Grenpoint. DR..
Sturgis is physician in the employ Of a rope and
bag factory said TO be the largest manufacturing
concern in greater New York, and IL is on account
Of the 2.200 patients, including 1900 women and
girls, that she is strenuously opposing the ab-
sttor.
The abattoir is not only Objectionable on sanl-
tary grounds" said DR.. Sturgis, but there is 4
moral objection forcing such sights upon the eyes
Of young people who have little that high or ele-
waiting il their minds And reports Of conditions in
New York abattoirs show that the killing of
the animals is not always screened from the sight
OF the public One of Investigators found the
people and children in the neighborhood of a West
Side abattoir watching the killing from an alley
leading down to the water. 1t considered one
Of the sights Of the neighborhood, and they had
come there for the express purpose of seeing IL"
The president OF the association, Mrs. Ralph
Trautmann, inquired particularly about the loca-
ton Of this slaughter house. she said that such
publicity unlawful The association then voted
cooperate with those opposed the erection Of
& slaughter house in Greenpoint. AT present, how
the matter is in allegiance, the city has en-
Joined the Board Of Health from issuing permit.
The tTiennial report of the association, which was
read by Miss Florence Guernsey, also dealt with
the slaughter house question. and stated that after
eighteen years experience the society was OF the
opinion that, under circumstances, should
slaughtering be done in the city. and that the final
solution Of the problem be the killing of the
animals the ranches.
