SAYS COST rs TOO HIGH
Justice Gives His Opinion in Letter,
which Deals with the Situation
Very clearly-EarIy Replies
Looked for.

The Gate City in yesterdays issue
stated that President NJ. E. Justice of
the Central association, would send
out letters to directors throughout
the circuit, notifying them of the mis-
understanding as regards the price
to be paid for the bulletin service at
the baseball parks, furnished by the
Western Union company. These let
tiers were received today. The trst
reply came from Mr.. A. g. Brown Oh
Monmouth. who in telegram said:
Cost is too much"
Later in the day Galesburg and
Monmouth replied, stating that they
thought the price higher than the
league could stand.
The following letter sent out covers
the situation very clearly and gives
the opinion of President Justice:
Directors:
There has been a misunderstanding
with the Western Union Telegraph
company In regard to the bulletin SER
vice. NV contract with them reads as
follows: Fifty cents per game IN
ming service, to be posted at all
grounds while clubs are at home. -
which l figured would cost US Sou
day, fifty cents for each city Where
games were played
The local manager of the western
Union understood it the same, but
the Chicago office of the Western
Union claims that this means nifty
cents for each game posted in each
city, which does not include home
games, in other words a game being
plaved in Keokuk would mean a cost
to the league of $15U based on fifty
cents per game from the other three
cities from which the bulletins were
received.
This office made no mistake In this
contract as it was figured out with
the Western Union representative at
the time although l did think it was
extremely cheap for the service but
they advised me today that they viii
not be able to furnish US this service
on this. basis.
Now the question is whether you
consider this service worth $50 per
day Figuring on this basis and if
we play the schedule in June, It
would cost us S1T250 and would mean
an expenditure for ahis season OF
from $4,000 to 100000. Do you con.
slider the benefit that you get from
it worth this amount of money?
am frank to admit that as far as per
sonal observation goes, the expense
is not justified | have not considered
the service extra good in any of, the
cities that have been. and Ind that
there is very little attention paid to
1t by the attendance at the game.
My own opinion Is that we can put
the money to good deal better use
at the end of the season than paying
it out for this Western Union service
It is true that in every city the cigar
stores get all these scores direct from
the telegraph company for their bulle
tin SO that anyone DESTROYS of getting
this information can get it from those
places.
Oo. receipt of this letter l wish yo,
would wire me Immediately if yo,
think that We should continue to re
ceive THO service at the increased
prices, OF course this would not in
terfere with any city who wanted t
make their own arrangements in re
gard to continuing the service but
must notify the Western Union tomo,
row in regara to it.
Yours very truly,
NJ. E. JUSTICE.

CHARGED WITH MURDER,
WILL DEFEND HIMSELF

st. Louis, Dec. Son trial for his
life, Austin Graves arose in court here
today, and. announced he would defend
himself Against the advice OF tho
trial judge and an attorney appointed
to defend him, he questioned the men
impaneled to serve on the Jury.
Graves shot and killed his boyhood
chum. Alfred n. Hunter. four months
ago. Because of Graves poverty Atty
August Walz was named to defend
him.
Tho first ~ of the panel had taken
seats when Graves said:
II don't want any lawyer. i don't
know anything about law, hut l know
what is right and l can prove my inno-
cence."
Graves asked two questions of each
of the jurors.
"Wil you give me n square deal"
was the first. "Will you treat me the
same as II l could afford to hire an at
torney?" was the other.
Each venireman answered both ques-
tons in the affirmative.
Atty. Walz says he will remain by
tho prisoners side during the trial to
make necessary objections and to save
exceptions for the record.
