Robbery Reported.

John Helwig 613 Fulton street re-
ported to police headquarters that he
has had stolen from wood shed a cop
per wash boiler. An Investigation is
being made.
It is thought that an attempt was
made to rob the residence of G. R.
Joy Friday evening while the family
were eating dinner between the hours
of 6 and I. In the house at the time
was hundreds of dollars worth of
valuables, including diamonds and
iewelry, but they were not touched. 1t
is thought that the robber became
frightened while in search of the
plumber. In leaving the house he was
seen by the girl, as he was going
through window. The police we're
notified and visited the house, later
making a search through the city.

ABOUT THE LITIGATION
A Point In Favor Of the Central Asso.
citation is Lack Of lncorpora.
tlon-Will Need Money
to Fight.

Here is point in the legal fight in
to which the Central Association has
been thrown as a result of the league
meeting Tuesday: The Central Asso-
citation is not incorporated under the
laws of any state, but the various
league is forced to rely upon its con-
stitution and bylaws and, unless they
can be enforced are of no use. The
constitution gives the leagae power
and it is doubtful if any Judge of the
district court will hold that the asso-
citation has not that power. Again Wa
terloo has voted on several occasions
Manager Frank Belt of Keokuk has
figured that it costs more than 81 900
to have Waterloo in the league more
than it would to have Galesburg.
Strong reason. Ell? AS for Jackson
Vile, taat town is far in arrears of
the times, the fans are weak and 3d.
600 adult admissions would be about
the limit for an average season. About
Jacksonville going into the Three-Eye,
we'll that is all bosh. Jacksonville and
Waterloo also seem to have crouch
on for President Justice, but they fail
to remember that the league executive
has turned several tricks for them
during his time. A vote was taken at
a league meeting in Quincy to disfran-
chise Waterloo. The vote was a tie.
Who did Justice vote for? Why it was
Waterloo and that city's life was ex-
tended for two years longer.

About Monmouth.

There seems to be tendency about
the circuit to put a damper on Mon
mouth because that city cannot play
Sunday ball This is mistake and
a grave one. If Monmouth will guar
antee the league an attendance of go
600 adult admissions during the sea-
son, or guarantee the minimum figure
of $4,000, why not take the city into
the Central Association. 1t is true
the schedule would be one hard to ar
range. but then it would give the 9TH
err cities of the league extra Sunday
games, and that is what is wanted.
If Monmouth will guarantee the above
figure. either of them, 1t would be to
the advantage of the Central Associa-
ton to make that city the eighth club.
The otaer cities would surely profit
by the additional Sundays at home.
Think it over, for the circuit would
be very compact.
1t is likely that the Central Asso-
citation litigation will be heard before
Judge Withrow, who has been holding
court in Keokuk for the past few
weeks. Taere is not better judge
in this section. If big legal fight
ensue,, the clubs will be assessed FOR
: funds to carry on the battle.

'DOLAN WELCOMES
GREENE ON BALLOT
Sheriff Will Not Contest Right
of Democrat to Place
on Ticket
Sends Letter to Registrar Ze-
mansky Setting Forth
His Attitude

No effort will be made TO prevent Ed
ward NJ. Greene's name from going on
the ballot as a democratic candidate for
sheriff. Although Frank H. Gould.
backed by Gavin McNab and Tom
Hickey. was inclined to question the ac-
tion of the registrar in giving Greene
the benefit of the doubt when 1t was
found that his petition lacked one of
the necessary number of names, he
changed his mind when Sheriff Larry
Dolan issued orders that Greene was
not to be interfered with Dolan an
nounced that If he could not beat
Greene in the primary without the aid
of a writ of prohibition, he would bow
to the popular will-which is mighty
good politics.
Registrar Zemansky pointed out that
the law required him to disregard any
name appearing on a nomina tion paper
which was not on the great register
and asked: What about republicans
and union labor men who are on the
great register and have signed for a
democratic"
Gavin McNab, in discussing the mat
them this one: IF 500 republicans who
had signed Byron Mauzy's petition were
induced to change their registration TO
democratic, would Mauzy lose his place
on the ticket?"
But Larry" Dolan is not interested
in academic questions. He likes a good
fight and welcomes a worthy oppon-
ent. So he wrote the following letter
to the registrar, which puts quietus
on the dispute:
San Francisco, July %, 1909.

Despite the federal statute and the
constitution of California, Kwong

army up and down the Mississippi.
That this Chinese-American was no

breast, one in the left leg. one in the
right foot and a she'll wound in the

The Chinese appeared at the regis

he was entitled TO register. After hear

that he was qualified The Chinese ac-

The announcement made yesterday

secretary of state. that he would en-
ter the race for governor next year
has drawn attention to the state
election far in advance of the usual
time. Curry holds that under the
new primary law a candidate should
give the public ample notice of his
aspirations.
There need be no surprise at my
action" said Curry Il have given
Governor Gillett the opportunity 10

While Curry is clearing the decks

| friends are taking careful look over
the political sea Curry's announce
ment caught Gillett by surprise. The
state executive was preparing for a
rest and outing and was not in a
mood to enter into fresh political
controversy. He reached San Fran

home in Eureka, where he will spend

Curry has held the Office of secretary
of state for three consecutive terms.
He has a large following in southern
California as we'll as in San Francisco.
where he received his political training.
Curry was born in Illinois. in 1855. and
spent the early years Of hs life in
Wisconsin and Washington territory.
He came to San Francisco In 1875, and
in 1885 was elected to the assembly

acted as superintendent of station B
of the local postofiice. resigning in 1894.
when he was elected county clerk.
Four years later he was elected seere-
tary of state and has held the position
ever since.
1t was a trip through the southern
part of the state that gave the crown
ing impulse to Curry's ambitions. He
has many friends there who urged him
to make the race.
I want 10 be governor" said Curry
bluntly. My friends in the southern
part OF the state have urged me to get
into the fight. / have thought the mat
ter over carefully and have taken their
