Many new things are proposed

to adopt or to reject. The street cor

public questions are acute.
THE coming millions that will

EXPECT to be fed cheaply. Commerce
will look to the soil for trafic. The

these movements"

MRS. sTETSoN ExoNoRATEp.
Charged BY Christian Scientists With
mental Malpractice"

New York, November 5.--Mrs. Augustus
E. Stetson. formerly head reader of the
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in this
city, was exonerated today on charges of
mental malpractice in the report of a
special board of inquiry presented to a
congregation of 200 persons at a long
stormy meeting. The exonera ton was in
dorsed by the members of the church, but
a portion of the boards report, which
concerned Virgil o. Strickler, her sue
cessor as first reader, who had appeared
in Boston as a witness against Mrs. Stet-
son, was referred back to the board of
inquiry for further consideration. The
congregation began consideration of the
case at o'clock this afternoon. The SEES
sion lasted for six hours and 1t was only
after a heated debate that the congre-
cation voted its Endorsement by a close
margin of the report in Mrs. Stetson's
favor.
Twentyelght charges had been made
against Mrs. Stetson at the instigation
of the board of directors of the mother
church in Boston. Thereupon the inquiry
was ordered by the trustees of the New
York church, at the request of Mrs
Stetson. who meanwhile was deposed from
her position authorized reader
Among the charges the most important
were, in effect that Mrs. Stetson's teach
ings had tended towards disoyalty to
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder and
leader of the section, and Mrs. Stetson had
been guilty of mental malpractice in
bringing Christian Science to bear upon
people who did not welcome It "by
hypnotism, mesmersm and similar meth

BOOST THE LIMIT

That Robert Fl. Baugh, president OF the
Birmingham Baseball association, is OPP
posed to the movement to reduce the
Southern league salary limit, will prove
good news to the fan colony of Birming-
ham.
Not only Is Mr.. Baugh opposed to reduc-
ing the present figure, s27OO, but he is in
favor of increasing that figure to s325o.
Mr. Baugh's position Is the correct one.
1t Is understood that President kav-
anaugh will advocate the reduction of the
salary limit because one or more of the
clubs failed to make money last season.
The club in the Southern league which
cannot make money when it gives the pa
irons good sport should be kicked out
bodily.
The reason why some clubs failed to
make money last season is because some
clubs failed to entertain the people.
Never get it into your head Mr.. Base
ball Owner, that you will lose money in
baseball IL you deliver the goods
1t is true that in baseball you get in
money what you give in sport.
Keep your team in the running and you
will get rich.
Mr.. Baugh, in'taking the position that
he has, realizes the above facts.
He knows that Birmingham will sup
port a winning team faithfully, and he
knows that were Birmingham to finish in
the first division next season there will
be dividend to be declared at the con-
clusion of the year.
1t is not the monthly $2700 which pre-
vents the magnate from getting rich.
Never get that foolish notion into your
head.
There are some clubs In the league
which draw better than Others of course
A little city which proves expensive to
forced out when that little city's room is
moro to be desired than it's company.
No team which not only fails to make
money, but which keeps eternally the
noses Of the others against the grind
stone, should be allowed to continue "in
Office" when another club which will
boost the leagues gate receipts is ham
mering for admittance.
Reduce the salary limit and you have
little war with the players land with
the patrons.
Increase the salary limit and enforce it.
Then we will no longer regret that each
of us Is in violation OF our agreement
every day of every season, and we will
not be ashamed of ourselves
But, Mr. Director, take no step which
will cut the speed of the game in the
south.
Give the patrons their moneys worth.

NEW SOCIAL RULES.
Adopted in the Northwestern Univer-
sity at Chicago.

Chicago, November 5.--Fraternity and
sorority rule of the social life at North
western university. and the expense drain
on students to keep in the social lime
light are to be curbed through joint ac-
ton of .he university faculty and the
fraternity board of the institution.
To relieve this situation the faculty
and members of the alumni board propose
that instead of formal parties being given
each year by each of the fraternities all
all shall combine and be divided into
groups and that each group give formal
party in which students who do not belong
TO Greek letter societies shall be recog-
nized upon an equal basis with members.

His rejoicing was caused by the fact
that the demands of travel had done what
the fervent prayers of the faithful rooters
of the Magic City failed to bring about.
The Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad is nosing its way into Birming-
ham and has found it necessary to run
its line straight through the grandstand.
gang of men Is at work. grading off
the ground and has a partially completed
temporary track running nearly to the
grandstand. The route of the track lies
across Second avenue and First avenue,
running in a diagonal direction across
branch at Montgomery street. The course
as laid off by crossties will take the
track through the grandstand and appar-
emily place home plate squarely between
the rails. Workmen state that they will
be ready to lay the track across the park
in few days.
Reports have been going the rounds that
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
would probably find it necessary to ac-
qlire the ball park, and it was under
stood that the matter would be straight
ened out within the next week or two.
The only way now TO keep the track out
of the park is to circle it around the
grandstand and 1t is said the railroad
company hasn't any intentions of doing
this.
Just what place the baseball association
will select for a new park is matter of
conjecture Smiths park, only two or
three blocks from the present one is be-
ing suggested the most central loca-
ton, while there is also talk of arrang-
grounds.
The present ball park with its rickety
grandstand has been the cause of untold
unfavorable comment from the local fans
for years. The sun crawled through the
cracks and blistered the backs while the
seats gave forth spinters that caused the
fans to give forth yells of pain. Then, in
case of rain, old Jupiter Puvius sent his
aquo pura through the cracks in tor
rents, adding discomfort to misery.
No signs will greet the funeral of the
ancient pile. Instead one fan has sug-
gested that 1t be torn apart piece by

burning wood let every enthusiast of the
horse hide and willow join hands and ex-
ecute dance of joy.

nized and reserved by the constitu-
ton OF the state, which In section
of Article XII provides that 'all cor
I.orations doing business in this state
may. as to such business, be Tegu-
lated, limited or restrained by law"
The right OF power to regulate the
sale and use of gas or electric lights
and power. and the charge therefor,
within the city, is therefore a govern
mental function. delegated by the
state to the city, one of It's subordin-
ate agencies. and cannot be surrend-
cred or suspended by the city, unless
that power also be granted to the
city.
Our supreme court, in the case Of
Brummitt VS.. Ogden Waterworks Co,
SO Utah 302, has said: I'm this
state no such power has been eX-
pressly conferred, nor has it been
Gone by necessary implication. The
power, therefore, does not exist. NUM-
cipalities, In this state, cannot enter
into binding contracts. with regard to
the rates for services rendered the
public. The right to regulate and fix
rates cannot be surrendered, and the
duty to exercise the right whenever
the rates are or become excessive
can be enforced at any time"
1t follows, therefore, that the city.
through It's council, not only has the
power to regulate. and il excessive
reduce, the rates charged by the Utah
Light & Railway company for lights
and power furnished to the inhabi-
tants of the city. but that IL is the
duty OF the city council to do so
whenever the necessity therefor
arises; duty which the council, no
doubt. will perform.
The council may also provide for a
proper inspection of the system and
methods of supply and measurement
of the light and power furnished by
the company, TO the end that the in
habitants may not be overcharged.
ana the council may compel the COM
pany TO furnish sufficient data or
means OF determining the rates to be
charged, which in all cases should be
reasonable as effects both the public
and the company
The power to regulate such rates
should, of course, be exercised by or
dinance, and when the council has de-
termined and fixed the rates, or the
limits within which charges shall be
rrade. the presumption is that they
are fair and reasonable both TO the
public and the company, and the
courts are reluctant to disturb them
except for grave reasons. In all such
cases the burden of proof is upon the
company or inhabitant attacking them
to show that they are otherwise.
Such ordinances may be revised or
amended. by the council, as occasion
requires.
Respectfully submitted.
