LEGATION of an explanation of what he
considers the too hasty and sweeping
statements In our article of last even
ing
In general the tone of the article re-
ferred to was such as to imply that
there is feeling of hostility between
the High school and the Y. M. G. A..
with regard to athletics. Mr. Vestal
wishes to say emphatically that no
such hostility exists. The Y. M. G. A.
has not attempted in the slightest de-
gree to in any way direct the details
of the High school athletics. The only
only way in which the Y. M. c. A. in
fuence has been felt is in impressing
there the spirit of clean athletics In
this way the High school athletic man
agement welcomes and appreciates
the Y M. c. A. In this way the two

future, to the mutual benefit of both.
There would seem to be misnuder-
| standing on the part of the writer of
Yesterdays article as to the High
schools attitude toward the Y. M c.
A. 1t is hoped this will correct that
misunderstanding.
/ The manager was reported as saying
and trutAfully, that the present situa
/ ton in the High school put some Of

/ PEELED to choose between the High
school and Y M c. A. athletics. Bu
the Interpretation which was put upor
4 those words was not a fair one, as il
implied the feeling of hostility alread,
mentioned. The managers statemen
as made was strictly true. But, as vii
be found elsewhere in this issue, 1t il
4 no longer true. The cause of the dis
pute has now been removed, pendin,

Davenport Looks Good for the Vacancy
in the Central Associa-
ton at the Present
Time.
OTHER BASE BALL NEWS
Directors of keokuk Base Ball Asso-
citation Did Not Meet Last
Evening But Viii Meet
This Week.

Although both Hannibal and Gales
burg seem to be favorites for the va
cant berth in the Central Association
and are making stronger fights, still
there is gentle wave sweeping
around that Davenport would be fully
acceptable and many are looking upon
this city as even more favorable than
the other two. The directors of the
various clubs OF the circuit have their
opinions and 1t may be said that the
opinions are much divided.
Davenport has not had baseball for
several years and for this reason is
given preference over the other two
cities. There seems no reason why
Davenport, being the large city that
1t Is, would not be able to support a
baseball team in grand style and bring
money to the league. Thus in that city
according to all reports are very eager
for baseball and if baseball is taken
up at all in that city it will probably
be done next year
Galesburg and Hannibal are also ex-
cellent cities for the Central Associa-
ton, and it would meet with approval
should the league extend a hand to
either the Missouri or the Illinois ap-
plicants However, it is possible that
this city would be in better condition
for higher league in year or more.

RAYNER MOVES IN
STEWARDS BEHALF
Scores President in Effort to
Secure Court of Inquiry for
ExiIed Colonel

WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator
Rayner again today made an appeal
to the senate for vote on resolution
authorizing and requesting" the presi-
dent to appoint a court of inquiry to
investigate charges against Colonel
William F. Stewart, coast artillery sta
toned at Fort Grant, Ariz. Rayner de-
clared his belief that the committee on
military affairs would not report his
resolution during the present session
of congress, and asked that a modified
resolution he had prepared be acted
upon by the senate without the inter
vention of the committee. Objection
being made further consideration of
the resolution was postponed. During
his speech Rayner said
1t is proper for me to remind the senate that
while this case is being thus expedited Colonel
Stewart is upon the heights of Arizona. He
is at high altitude. as high as the president
can get him, with very little chance Of his
period OF time. Being at Il high altitude he
ought not to complain. The climate Is salubrlous
and uniform, it being as cold in winter It
is hot in summer; the surroundings are all
salutary. his companions are festive and con-
vivial, consisting of caretaker teamster
and several government mules. and the society
at this fashionable center is therefore extremely
exclusive and select. The president is delighted
with the situation and therefore tic Chairman
satisfied.
If the president is satisfied everybody ought
to be satisfied Why not? What right has any
body TO be dissatisfied with anything that sat
isfed the president! Who would be guilty Of
such a reasonable actf The king cannot com
NIT a wrong, and therefore the president can
not commit wrong. Congress may make the
gravest mistakes Courts may err Human
judgment at the zenith of its strength may ar
rive at faulty and erroneous conclusions, but
the executive can never blunder. Infallibility
is of his attributes. When he has finished
with the prosecution and there has been no
testimony allowed to be, produced the other
side, he Is so wen fortified and intrenched that
you cannot dismantle him.
The omnibus public building bill was
passed. 1t carries appropriations ag-
gregating about sSS5, ,o00,0 900. A bill to
prevent dissertation of the flag of the
United States was passed.
The conference report on the forti-
f1cations appropriation bill was adopted
and partial agreement on the sundry
civil bill was reported by conferees
and approved by the senate.
