The City League is now playing base
ball for keeps: the West Hudson
League will open the season May %, and
the public and parochial school leagues
are nov busy, hut the Intercity
League is net a-going yet. Perhaps its
none eof the writer's business whether
this last circuit is organized or moi,
but thAsfact that the more league base
ball, there is hereabouts the better the
game will, be, will let us out for our
little. hint. What brought the matter
to our mind this morning was a letter
from Joseph Raymond, manager of the
Orfentals. He wants to enter. There
have been several more inquiries as to
what would be done with the matter.
There are several good teams that
could be gotten into such a circuit as
is proposed for the Intercity League
and the proposers of the scheme
shouldn't find much difficulty in gets
ting a-going. $50 -

-HIPFEL WON HIS FIRST
in ATLANTIC LEAGUE.

Did you notice who was responsible
for the first defeat of Elizabeth in the
Atlantic League? It was Hipfel, who
jumped the Vailsburg A. 6. Tor Tommy
Golden's Pottsville aggregation.
The doughty German got a good
start. for his team got a five-run lead
on the Betsytown crew in the first
round. Wolf. who pitched part of the
early round, was responsible. Kid
Hayes. who succeeded him. and All
other Newarker, held the winners in
check during the balance of the game
Hipfel and Hayes both got a hit.

no less valuable. When the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College was or
ganized at Starkville he was placed al
its head, and throughout his term OF
service, which extended to within a few
years of his death, the progress of the
institution which has done so much for
the State was uniformly satisfactory.
Shortly before his death he was made
one of the commissioners of the Ma
tional Park where his monument has
been placed, overlooking the fields that
his valor did SO much to hallow.
The dedication occurring soon after
the meeting of the Confederate Veterans
at Memphis, it is expected that large
number of them, and especially those
from this city and immediate section,
will stop over at Vicksburg and witness
the dedication Having seen service dur
ing period of half the war in the Army
of Northern Virginia and the other half
in the Army of Tennessee, Veterans of
both armies were comrades of the dis
tinguished soldier on many stricken

will delight IN the opportunity to do a

C0NGER'S REPLY
Denies the Allegation of an Official.
Criticism

In the report of Travelling Auditor
Smith on his. investigation of tht
Shreveport Charity Hospital, submitted
to the Governor, E. ]. Conger's method
of bookkeeping is criticised He was
the secretary and treasurer of the Hos
| lpital Board He. is also criticised for
not having kept the vouchers
In his reply Mr. Conger explains that
his method of bookkeeping was the same
as that of his predecessor and was ap-
proved as being satisfactory by his SUI
periors. That his accounts were ex-
amined and certified to as being correct
when audited by the finance committee
and by an expert accountant who had
given his record a thorough investiga-
ton.
There was no. travelling auditor dur
ing the term he. held the office of sec
retary and treasurer Of the board, and
that after he had been checked and
given quittanee he did not think it
necessary to keep the vouchers when he
had no safe OF place in which to pre-
|serve them. If he thought that trav-
cling auditor would have been created
and that such an official would have
|called for those old vouchers he would
have kept them and would have had
them today
In his reply Mr.. Conger has made it
plain that he has complied with the law
which requires the publication of the re-
ceipts and the expenditures and all the
transactions of the hospital have been
made known to the members of the
Legislature the Governor and the of
fcials of the State in biennial reports.
AS to the Conger Drug Company sell
ing drugs to the hospital, he had not the
remotest idea that he was violating the
law. The drugs were sold in competi-
ton with others and at the lowest bid.
He simply filled clerical office and was
subject to dismissal at any time.
Mr.. Conger's statement is plain ex-
position of how he discharged his duties
as secretary and treasurer of the Hos
|pital Board
It would seem as if the Travelling
Auditor had been over-zealous in point
ing to discrepancies which practically do
not exist. For instance, the charge or
insinuation as to the old vouchers not
being in evidence is rather himsy.
Assuming that the State Travelling
Auditor had authority to investigate the
Police Jury, he would be astounded, per-
haps. on calling for vouchers to be told
that the vouchers have been examined
and found correct to this date and the
vouchers destroyed in the presence of
the jury
What would he do? What would he
say? What would he report?

TICK ERADICATION
Increased Interest in the Live Stock In
dnstry and Its Value.

| The Plcayune's Baton Rouge CORE
spondent says: Seventy-fve thousand
dollars is the increased value which the
tick eradication work in Claiborne and
Lincoln parishes has added to the live
stock industry of these two parishes, ac-
cordlng to the estimate of R. E. Moves
representing the United States Depart
ment of Animal Industry and in charge
of the work which the State of Louis
lana, through the Crop Pest Commits
sion, and the United States Government
are doing towards the eradication of the
cattle tick. The clearing out of the cat
tie tick has practically turned Claiborne
and Lincoln parishes into cattle-raising
sections. 1t is estimated that this year
there are about 10000 head of cattle in
the two parishes, and S. a head as the
increased value which the absence of
ticks has added to the live stock this
year is considered very conservative
estimate. The farmers of Lincoln and
Claiborne have just reversed the order
of things on their farms, and instead of
planting about 70 per cent of cotton and
80 per cent corn, they are this year
planting 70 per cent corn and sc per cent
cotton. This season will see the tick
eradication work practically ended
There will be little more to do next
year, but this will be clearing up the
small patches here and there, which are
not now free of ticks When Claiborne
and Lincoln parishes fave been declared
by the United States government tick
free territory, it will be quarantined
against all other infested territory, and
the farmers in it protected against the
importation of the cattle tick. The
farmers will be able to sell their cattle
anywhere in the Union after this year.
