a boat harbor. The petition will be
presented to the city council at its

OPINIONS DIFFER

SITUATION is STILL HOPEFUL
Both Sides in Controversy Seem San
guine of Peaceful Outcome
of the Struggle.

Opinions appear to differ as to
whether the Three-Eye magnates
were in contempt of court in taking
up the ousting of Dubuque at the Chi
cago meeting Wednesday. The Rock
island contingent acted under the be
lief that the restraining act secured
by Dubuque still covered the case.
On the other hand President Holland
and those supporting him had care
iully cut and dried program, arranged
with the aid of attorneys in the pay
Of the league, and this was carried
out, whether it was legal or not
The situation seems to be very
much as it was before the attempt to
transact business Wednesday. There
may be a slight alteration of align
ment, but all the elements of a dead
lock still exist However. the hopeful
feature of the situation is the op-
|timism which seems to prevail in the
inner circles in both the north and
south ends of the circuit President
Holland himself says he believes that
either side. if defeated. will eventually
accede to the will of the majority
and forget the ante-seasOn troubles

Took Only Course Possible.

The Rock Island delegates, II. f.
Casteel and NJ. II. Sexton, returned
last night from Chicago, where they
participated in the Three-Eye league
meeting Wednesday. They state that
they could not have consistently done
otherwise than they did in refusing to
participate in the meeting Wednesday
evening after it was apparent that no
business could be transacted. The
feelings of everybody concerned had
reached the explosive state, and it was
deemed wise to allow all parties time
| to cool off. 1t is cOntended that the
action taken in rejecting Holland
when there were but four cities rep
resented was illegal, because it takes
| five to do business i'll an eight-Club
circuit. In fact, the regularity of the
voting out of Dubuque is seriously
doubted, for the reason that the regu-
lar order of business where it was left
off at the previous meeting was not
taken up, nor was the order as speci-
| fled in the league rules followed. Mr..
Holland apparently recognizes the lack

he is quoted as saying he will again
be a candidate before the meeting that
he expects to call within a week or 10
days. He is also said to have declared
if elected by the vote of five clubs or
more, he will serve the full term in
stead of resigning, as he had offered
Ito do during the meeting of this week.
