that the farmers generally stood by

SUMMER VACATIONS

How can any one rail at the incon-

It a sweeping reform. But the excite
ments of country life can never be TOO
many. Take bathing, for instance
In the city it is merely a part Of ones

NEW RULE ADOPTED
Interesting Question Over Salaries of
Baseball Players.

CINCINNATI, o.. June 24.-In re-
jecting the claim of player Jerry Z.
Donovan for salary alleged to be due
him from the Philadelphia National
League Club the national baseball
commission today made a new rule
in cases where players make claim
for salary provided for in their major
league contracts when they are re-
leased to minor league clubs. The new
rule provides that no major league
club has a right to release a player
at any time unless they give him 10
days notice of such release. If this
notice is given 10 days before the sea-
son commences the major league clubs
having title to the player need not
pay him any salary. If the 10 days
notice covers any part of the playing
season. then the major league club re-
leasing the player Internationally must
pay him for the number of days such
notice covers of the playing season,
and if the player is released by q
major league club TO minor
league club by sale or otherwise tho
major league club will in such case
be required TO pay the player the dit
ference in salary between 10 days pay
under his major league contract and
the amount the player could have earn
ed during the time had he reported
promptly to the club securing his SER
vices.
Donovan contended that he signed
a contract with Philadelphia for 1908
calling for $500 per month, and that
at the commencement of the season
he was released to the Johnstown Club.
of the Tri-state League, and that the
latter club offered him a contract call

unsatisfactory to him, and, therefore,
he did not report TO the Johnstown
Club. He requested that the Phil

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The nine

PUT BAN ( N
FIREWORKS
Adams Express Company An
nOunCeS Il viii Not
Accept Explosives

The Adams Express Company has
just issued a stringent order to all It's
agents not to accept fireworks for
shipment over any of the lines Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
served by it. This becomes effective
at once.
1t is further said that the same rule
may be made TO apply to the Southern
Express Company as well. This com
pany is controlled by the Adams and
operates chiefly in the Southern states.
The reason for the order is TO lesson
the danger to express messengers OF
the trains and TO merchandise, which
is usually handled in large volumes at
this season. Makers of fireworks, il
is asserted, are constantly producing
high grade of explosive, which has
become somewhat of a menace when
crowded into close and constantly mo p
ing cars. The order is not a new
one, but those in charge of the COM
pany's service have seen fit to call
especial attention to It at this time
Pennsylvania Railroad officials say
the order in no way applies to their
service. They are willing to accept
and handle fireworks or other explo-
sives i'm the freight cars provided for
the purpose. They do this constantly
| frequently moving train loads of dyna-
mite and powder. The care with which
this is handled reduces the danger 10
a minimum.
The United States Express Company
which chiefly uses the lines of the Bal
timore and Ohio and its allied proper
ties. has not issued any such special
order However, there is a standing
rule with this company not to accep.
highly explosive material at any tim J.
This makes a special order on the
subject at this season unnecessary
This company will receive and haul
what are known as common fire
works" as usual
