! ISpeelal Correspondence Ia Morning JOurnalI
Socorro, n. NJ, July lS.-A meeting
was held here Monday night for the
| purpose Of organizing a baseball and
| athletic league. Hon. II. O. Bursum
occupied the chair. Several speakers
were enthusiastic In their remarks,
among whom were w G. Hammell,
who strongly supported league Of
this character and it was proposed to
invite the towns Of Magdalena, San
Marcial, Carthage, Kelly and San
Antonio to join in this county baseball
and athletic movement
1t was further proposed that at the
end OF each season n silver cup be
awarded the winner of the league
pennant.
Mr.. Bursum appointed a committee
on arrangements to get busy immedi-
ately and named the following;
w d. Newcomb, chairman; Or G.
G. Clarke, Fred Howell l.. r. Lewis
and George Sickles.
The committee on arrangements
will solicit members in Socorro and
other towns and endeavor to create
interest throughout the county.
George Cook was elected president
OF the organization. Edward l.. Price,
Of the Socorro State bank, treasurer;
and Fred X. Howell, secretary Three
directors will be elected from each of
the towns entering the league and for
the town of Socorro Hon. II. O.Bur-
sum, Judge NJ. c. Meehem and Hon.
W. C. Hammwell, were elected and
have consented 20 serve,
This is the most important athletic !
undertaking that has been started in
Socorro county and with six good |
teams in the baseball league the in |
terest in the national game will be
greatly enlyened. One Of the feat
ures of the movement viii be to ell /
intimate from the league games all
professionals ana in this way encour-
age home talent entirely. There is
considerable good material hidden be-
hind a bunch IN some of the towns and
by this means it is expected 10 un-
earth good players ana have inter-
csting metches.
Socorroites request the "rooters' Of I
the other towns in this county to boost |
this proposition for all it is worth and /
help make it success. Amateur
leagues arc not by any means common
and communities not able to support |
the professional class OF players, by
combining together in this manner, I
can provide interesting contests and /
healthfui recreation for the young /
men who would otherwise seek injur
ous pleasures.

Business Methods Making Big Hole in
the Postal Deficit.

Washington, April 11.-Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock predicted today that the
first year of the present administration

in the deficit of SIT, $4,000 handed down
from the preceding year. The deficit for
the first half of the current year was
81 OF, 900, as against $l01S2,000 for the first
half of last year, a reduction of over &c.
100000 in six months. The recent publ
cation of the auditors returns for the
quarter ended Dec. 81 disclosed an actual
profit of $2115,OO0. the largest surplus re-
corder it is said. for any quarter in the
history of the department.
Postmaster Gems, al Hitchcock express
Ell the belief that the final figures for
the quarter ended March 81 also would

The final quarter of the year. that end

expenses of the service will fall, is like

but as expenditures are now running he
expects that deficit Nill be exceptionally
small.
The officers of the department attribute
the extraordinary reduction shown in the

rate of expenditure to certain radical re-
forms that were introduced at the open-
ing of the year in the conduct of the
postal business. Mr.. Hitchcock said fur

in another year to place the postal SER

standing the tremendous losses resulting
from the low rate of postage on second

great control. In Jack Allison OF
Augusta he has a worthy opponent
and in several match games played be-

AN entire DA'
Passed by Roosevelt and

Neither Will Divu|ge Word Of
What Passed Between Them.
Mayor Of Porto Maurizio Praised
BY President Taft.

Porto MauhiziO, Italy, April l1.-Gif-
ford Pinchot. the former chief forester
of the United States department of
agriculture whose interview with eX-
President Roosevelt has been looked
forward to with great interest, spent
the entire day today with Mr.. Roosc-
welt, hut what passed between them is
still q secret
Mr.. Pinchot arrived at the CareW
villa before 8 o'clock in the morning.
He remained for lunch apd accompa-
MED Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss
Carey on a fivc-hour excursion into
the mountains. They had dinner to-
gethor also, and the former forester
did not return to his hotel until short
ly before midnight.
Mr. Pinchot when seen at the villa
just before dinner, declined to say
what he told the eX-President, and Mr.
Hooscvelt's prediction q few days ago
that neither would have anything to
say publicly concerning the meeting
proved entirely correct. Mr.. RoOsevelt'S
secretary. however. gave to the anxious
newspaper men n long and graphic ac-
count of how the party drove through
the olive orchards Of picturesque Ca
ramaga valley and then climbed six
miles up the winding road to a famous
little chapel: also how enthusiastic the
Villagers were as the party was re-
turning. crowding about the carriage
and fairly deluging it with wild flow
ers, but when pressed about the SUBJ
ject of the long conversation between
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Pinchot. the
odd bnnt q smile
that it consisted largely of reminis-
cences and hunting stories and he
sravely confided the information that
Mr.. Pinchot was almost as good shot
as his former chief
Mr.. Pinchot will see the EX-Presi-
dent again tomorrow and expects to
leave here in the evening for Zurich
where he is to meet an old forester
friend From there he will go to Eng
land to visit Sir Horace Plunkett, of
the department OF agriculture in Ire
land. He will sail for New York on
the steamer Baltic, April 80.
When Mr. Roosevelt got back to the
villa this evening he found two Fran
ciScan friarS in long brown cOWlS, who
had come 70 present their respects.
Ex- Mayor Phelan, of San Francisco
telegraphed from Monte Carlo today
that he will call on Mr. Roosevelt to-
morrow. The latter, when informed of
the exchange Of kilograms between the
mayor Of Porto MauriZio and President
Taft, said that he appreciated highly
both the municipalities expression and
the Presidents reply.
Shortly before dusk. secret service
police who were detailed to guard Mr..
Roosevelt arrested Il suspicious in
dividual prOWling about the villa. At
the police station, where he was locked
up, pending an investigation. he gave
the name Magagno and said he was a
native of Bologna. He explained that
he was n barber mad been working in
Nico, where he learned little Eng
lish. A letter found in his possession
was addressed to Mr.. Roosevelt ask

demented and will hold hIm until the
story of his identity and record can be
established.
