Final Rounds.
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
Local Fans Are Waxing Enthusiastic
Over Prospect Of Having state
leaaue Team Next Season-Many
Are Subscribing TO Stock.

While only comparatively Few
subscriptions were secured yesterday,
the committee named at the meeting
OF baseball enthusiasts Thursday
night TO secure fifty stockholders In
the proposed Newport News State
league baseball team, is confident OF
securing the remaining necessary
stockholders today so that q. Is. A.
Rocker may 20 to Richmond Monday
tc secure the franchise for this city
from the league magnates, who VIII
meet al Murphy's hotel Monday night.
Abe Horwitz. one of the commit
teeman. was out of the city yesterday
on business and G. u. A. Booker and
DIR. II. Lee Robinson. the other two
members. were unable 10 do much
work because of business engage
ments. However, additional subscrib-
ers were secured and approximately
half OF the required $4,000 has been
subscribed up to this time.
Make Report Tonight.
BY much hustling among the bust
ness men. merchants and "thirty-sec-
end degree fans today, the committee
expects to secure enough subscribers
TO make up the remainder of the sum
needed. The committee will meet
with the fans tonight and report the
result of its labors.
Interest in the proposition to land
the league, team here has increased
since II became known that several
OF the leading Hampton fans have
stated that Newport News could not
float a State league team without
Hampton's assistance. There are
many people here who believe that
this city can stand on its own bottom
in this matter aud the statement OF
the Hampton fans has been produc-
tive of several $50 subscriptions
which might not otherwise have been
secured.
For $1,000 Salary Limit.
II he goes before the meeting in
Richmond Monday night. MIR. Booker
will fight for salary limit OF $1,000
per month for twelve players, exclu'
siye of the manager. With such
salary limit the expenses of the team
per month are estimated at approx
mately 81 800. or $4,000 for the sea
son. Owner Bradley, of Richmond. es-
Inmates that the local team will get
not less than $4,000 out of Richmond,
Portsmouth and Norfolk during the
season. these figures being based
upon the lowest amounts paid the
visiting teams in those cities. Peters
burg is paying baseball town and
the team will do as good as break
oven in Lynchburg. getting expenses
or the trips to that city. With any
kind of attendance at all In this city
il is figured that the team should, at
least, break even on the season and
with the sale OF players to thep bigger
leagues should quit the season a. lit
tie to the good even under adverse
conditions.

NATTER WITH MOON AND SUN
The Causes of the Recent Peculiar
Atmospheric Conditions.

Many people have been puzzled
about the color of the moon. For
week or so this orb was a dull
red, when the color changed to a
dingy yellow. In the early mornings
a haze has also been apparent, af-
fecting the color and intensity of the
sun somewhat.
Mr.. Mitchell, the weather fore
caster of Macon, says that there are
three possible causes for these CON
ditions. The first is the smoke from
the volcanic disturbance at Mt.
Aetna; the second the burning of
trash resulting from the spring clean
ing throughout the territory, and the
third, cometic influences attributable
to the influence of Halley's comet.
which is fast approaching the earth.
In addition there has been only lit
tie wind for the last two weeks, and
the smoke has not moved away.

DR.. Wiley, who is United States

what to eat and what not to eat,
said:
Fudge is harmful. 1t makes girls
fat owing to its excess of carbon
hydrates, which produce adipose it's

girls are round, rolly poly creatures
instead of the slender maids that the
country used to know before the
fudge craze seized the nation

girls and the high school girls eat
fudge, but it is made in vast quanti-
ties in the country where girls cannot
buy candy except of the worst grades.

.S350,OOO TO STAY IN SENATE
Report of Wisconsin Assembly Criti-
cises Methods of Aged United
States Senator.

MADISON, Wis.-The report of
the assemblymen on the legislative
committee appointed to investigate
the charge that United States Sen
ator Isaac Stephenson procured his
nomination by the fraudulent use of
money filed its report with the gov
ernor. 1t says there is no evidence
of corruption, but that excessive use
of money should be forbidden. Bills
to prevent similar cases in the flu
ture are suggested. The majority of
the committee, composed of members
of the state senate, avowedly anti
Stephenson men, does not concur in
the report, and is expected to make
a more scathing report later.
Senator La Toilette is rebuked for
using state employees at state expense
to further his personal political am
bition.
The assemblymen say the use of
money was excessive, the report of
Senator Stephenson showing that he
spent considerably more than $780,
600 in addition to large sums on re-
lated projects which do not figure
directly as election expenses. Among
these related expenses is the eXpen-
diture of a large sum, not stated,
but reported to he $250,00O, for the
maintenance of a Milwaukee news

GOVERNOR ExPATIATEs ON CORN.
An Ear Nearly a Foot Long Was

An Ear Nearly a Foot Long Was
Sent Him From Cherokee County.
From the Atlanta Georgian.
An enormous ear of white corn,
nearly a foot in length and weighing
nearly two pounds, has been received
! by Gov Joseph M. Brown from John
E. Payne of Cherokee county. In
consequence whereof when the news
paper men came in Monday morning
Governor Brown was ready to expa-
tiate on the benefits of seed selec-
ton and deep blowing. And he said:
You know, it's the general GUS
tom when a farmer prepares his
seed corn for planting he cuts off
both ends of an ear and only uses
the perfect seed in the center.
believe this is wrong. The corn on
each end of an ear. although they
are malformed and look as if they
were stunted, are just as much a part
of natures system, and a constituent
part, too, to the perfect grains.
1T has been said" continued the
governor, that the practice of cut

or less responsible for short-eared
corn. However, l believe if these
little grains were planted right along
with the perfect grains the result
would be better The pollen mixes
and the intermingling of this pollen
is one of natures secrets of the prop
agation in kind.
Deep blowing is another thing
that should be done. The blowing
that is first done should get down to
the clay and turn it up in the winter
months for the winter rains The
usual custom is to do all the plow-
ing in the spring, but the first meth
cd is best, as the period of fertiliza-
ton is longer. The production per
acre would be increased wonderfully

paper in Stephenson's interest.
Stephenson, reelected in 1909 is
now in his eighty-frst year. The
smallest expenditure by any of the
four candidates for the office was
SIS, 900.
The report of the assemblymen
says the people should not permit
the extravagant use of money in
newspaper advertising and other
such lines to affect their efforts to
pick the best candidate.
The six bills introduced to rene
dy conditions tend to limit the
amount of money any candidate can
spend.

That part of Nebraska around

According to the statement of

the crows fly over the barnyard in

COAL MAY BE HIGHER SOON, TOO
Interstate Commerce Commission
Raises Rates From Virginia.

''i - -
1t is announced on apparently good
authority that coal will be high in
Georgia this summer, owing to the
fact that the usual summer rate on
coal will be considerably higher than
usual. A majority of the contracts
of the Atlanta and Georgia coal deal
ers are with Virginia operators
The rate between Atlanta and Vir-
ginia is comparatively cheaper than
the rate between Atlanta and Ten
nessee, which has been throwing the
bulk of business to Virginia. Tennes-
see operators have complained to the
interstate commerce commission, and
it is probable that the Virginia rate
will be increased.
