TRAVEL IN STYLE

will cover 4,641 miles before they
return 10 Chicago to open up the
American league season on April IA.
No bali club ever went out of Chi
cago in such style as those Sox are
going. The special train secured
from the Rock Island road will be
the finest that can be put together.
That was the proviso insisted upon
by President Comiskey, which made
the railroads shy away from the
contract. To carry the baseball par
ty Of about fifty people, including
players, their families, club officials
newspaper representatives and a
few rooters, the special will be made
up of six cars-library, diner, two
sleepers, combination buffet and OBJ
servation and a baggage car. In
fact the train will be a duplicate of
the Golden State limited, except
that 1t will carry one car less.
The Sox party will leave Chicago
at 9 o'clock in the evening from
the LaSalle street station, and will
go via Ell Paso, arriving at Los An
geles March 3 at Z O'Clock in the
, evening.
President Comiskey intends MAX
ing the trip a personally conducted
affair, his plan being to accompany
his players over the whole route.
About thirty players will be taken
on the trip, large number Of pur-
chased and drafted stars being sched-
uled to vie with the veteran men,
bers of the team for places on the
regular payroll.
In order to give the youngsters Il
fair chance to show their mettle,
they will be given positions on the
second team along with several of
the regulars, and will play with
separate list of exhibition games,
the master of the Sox taking charge
of that squad to get line on the
new fellows, while Manager Jones
goes along conditioning his veteran
players.
The entire squad will be kept to-
gether at Los Angeles only long
enough to give all hands enough
practice to play good ball, aad then
the divisions viii be made, he reg
ulars being lett in the C;rv of An
gels, while The recruits hit the rail

w. 3. Farrar, who recently APP
peared in the district court and
pleaded guilty to having embezzie
$25, 900 from Lev Fowlet. MAS D
day sentenced to serve three years
in the state penitentiary says the
Shreveport La.) Journal. Judge
Bell, who imposed the sentence.
stated that Farrar's term would
really be two years and five months,
as lie would be given seven months
for good behavior. The court also
stated that if prison life Impaired
the young mans health, certificates
to this effect would be considered
by the board of pardons.
Farrar, along with dozen other
prisoners, was taken from the Jail to
the court house this afternoon for
the purpose of receiving sentence.
It was known by some of Farrar's
friends that he would be sentenced
and they were in the court room
He was accompanied by his wifi"
and they were seated apart from
the other prisoners
When called before the court, the
prisoner was asked If he had anv
statement to make before sentenc"
was imposed, but he simply replied
that while at first he was advised
that the indictment against him
would not stand, it had later been
decided to plead guilty. He asked
the judge in considering his sem
tence to recognize the fact that this
was his first tive up.
Judge Bell said the details of tn"
embezzlement had been related t"
him by men in whom he had CONT
derce. The court claimed to bo
thoroughly acquainted with tho
facts. The JUDGE stated that ne had
learned that when Farrar discover
ed the shortage was 50 Great he had
called Mr.. Fowler to this city from

Kansas City for the purpose Of lay
ing the matter before him. =. am
familiar with your rehearsal .: con-
ditions 70 your employer" said the
judge. Mr.. Fowler agreed for Far
rar to continue in charge Of he
business and said there would be no
prosecution, but later causet; he
arrest. The court stated tina: the
law provided for sentence O. sew
en- years as the limit for ambeZZle-
ment, and this impris on ment, is was
said, would be justified in the case
of man who would willingly EN-
bezzle and spend the money IN riet-
Gus living. or bank it away .or the
future, then run away AMI be
caught. These facts were missing
in Farrar's case. Considering all
phases of The case, Judge Bell sail
ne believed three years imp"lson-
ment would suffice.
Farrar will be taken to the peri
Tertiary tomorrow morning, accord
ing to the present plans of tie
sheriff. There is but one penit"n-
tiary convict in Jail at this time. the
two cases resulting from the crinl~
inal term Of court which closed Sat
urdav.
Tn the cell room of the parish Jail,
the sentenced man stated; 81 expect
to come back to Shreveport after get
out. l have been offered three differ
ent positions. My wife and children
will remain here"
The prisoner has scores OF friends
and from the way they stand by him 1t
is given out that they know the facts
of the case different from what has
been given the public. They claim
that on the face of Farrar's plea OF
guilty he is to appear in light much
worse than he justifies, and hat
while he did a wrong, the prosecution
has the marks of debt collection act.
When he was arrested last December,
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1908-02-29

a month after he made the shortage
known to his employer, his acquaint-
ances were greatly surprised. HOY
ever, after he was bonded he returned
to Fowler's grain and commission
house and worked there two weeks.
His home, jewelry and every other
thing of value were sacrificed when
the matter was first brought up BY
the two men, yet he was arrested. Aft
er furnishing bond and after having
spent weeks in FOwler's place cf
business, Farrar accepted employme7
with a rival concern OF which FoW,
ner's brother is the principal owne".
He held that position until it was de-
cided for him to plead guilty, since
which time he has been in jail.
Mrs. Farrar has been a daily visitor
to her husbands cell room on the Sec
ond floor of the parish Jail. During
his confinement in Jail, Will Askew &C.
cupied quarters with Farrar and both
enjoyed comfort not to be found in
other parts Of the prison.
"Ill get along all right down there,
said Farrar, today, in referring to the
penitentiary. Il served in the army
and did not have to put in one dag OF
extra duty, so I know / will have no
trouble at Baton Rouge. AS to work
they haven't got man down there

JEFF IN JEPARDY.

Jeff Davis continues his triumphant
career, leaving a trail of fire behind
him. Having left his seat in the SEN
ate to nominate the next governor of
Arkansas, he proposes to do it. 1t
must be admitted that he has burnt up
a lot of grass, and that he has shaken
up the Ozarks until they are really UNI
safe. His sounding board is in good
order and his denouncer is working
overtime. "A few Of the public men of
Arkansas have escaped from Jeff's lin

will get around to them in due time.
Eternal summer borne on the wings
of his oratOry has set in over there,

tacle. It recalls the incursions of
Atilla and Alaric, the reign of fire and
sword in the Soudan, the deluge in Po-
land, a Chinese musicale and an In

sons of the shimmering sands would
enjoy the chaste occasion. How the
bowling Dervishes would enjoy the
powers Of the Siocco from Squedunk.
But We are getting alarmed for JEFF.
Wherever he goes he throws stinkpot
at somebody, and he is certainly &C
curing about as fine bunch OF enc
mics as one could desire. The gentle
men criticised moreover are inclined
to be FESTIVE They are tired Of hav-
ing dead cats thrown at them. They
are mixing the war paint, and when
they come out into the open, they
promise to make Sitting Bull and the
Last of the Mohicans look pale in their
paint. They will doubtless say words
and throw things. They are getting
ready to close In on JEFF as the Allies
closed in on Napoleon at Leipsig, and
we would advise him to keep clear his
canal of correspondence with Wash

English spelling is the most unsystem.
attic and therefore the most difficult Of all
systems to acquire, except the Chinese.
The French has not a complete alphabet
TO represent all it's sounds in O simple and
systematic manner, but the French use
the incomplete and defective Roman al
phabet much more consistently than we.
The object of writing is to convey thought.
An ideal system would allow Of the con-
yeyance Of thought with the least expendi-
ture of energy on the part Of both writer
and reader.
The sounds Of the spoken language
should be represented by the simplest,
most complete and most logical system.
There are in English 40 distinct sounds;
40 distinct letters are needed to represent
them. With such q system the intermina-
BILE difficulty Of learning to spell would
disappear, the time spent in printing and
writing unnecessary letters would be saved
and the learning of the language by chill
dren and foreigners would be greatly ia
silitated. There Is no valid objection to
phonetic spelling except the difficulty OF
introducing 1t. The genealogical ob1eo-
ton is unworthy of serious consideration.
The etymology, for example, Of "soph.
lsm' (Which, by the way, does not import
. wise saying) resides in the real word,
not in its spelling. Any n who knows
the history Of the word would associate
that history with it, however 1t might be
spelled. The Pathological association Ia

impossible to make 80 radical a change at
once, but it docs not follow that the bene-
fits of phonetic spelling, the metric system
or any other great improvement will come
to us in the surest and best way by simply
leaving the matter to chance. There ID o
tendency to shorten spelling, but the bene'
fits to be derived from improvement are
30 great that definite action should be
taken to secure them early and to make
the changes In the way that will be most
beneficial. Changes for better and for
worse will continue to come by chance a.
