FOUND DEAD ON
LAND IN ALASKA
PETER TAUBE OF SEATTLE MAY
BE VICTIM OF ANOTHER
TRAGEDY.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 16.-Peter Taube
of this city, president of the American
Marble Co., has been found dead on
the company's property at Fox Island,
Alaska. The cause of death has not
been ascertained.
The company has had much trouble
over the Alaska holdings. Five years
ago William Deppy, a stakeholder, was
shot and killed on the company's land
by Robert Ball, disbarred Michigan
attorney, who had gained control of
a majority of the stock. Ball was given
a 12-year prison sentence and is now
in the National Hospital for the Insane
at Washington, ID. G..
The property was finally sold to the
Vermont Marble Co. Taube's visit to
Alaska was in connection with the
transfer.

ADDITIONAL SPORT
BASEBALL MAGNATES ARE
NOW TN ANNUAL SESSION
AMERICAN LEAGUE

Chicago, Feb. 16. - The flrst days
session Of the annual schedule meeting
Of the American league proved UNI
eventful. No action was taken on the
adoption of the 1910 schedule and the
adoption of a new agreement to con-
tinue the league was also postponed.
The session today is scheduled to be-
gin at / p. m. and will probably close
the meeting. The adoption of a new
agreement to replace the ten-year one
which ends in November of this year
was discussed at length and there APP
peared to be some difference of opinion
as to the length of the agreement. All
the club owners agreed that the league
should continue and many favored a
perpetual agreement. The discussion
on this question will be concluded by
Ia vote which is scheduled to be taken
at the opening of tomorrow's session.
The report of committee consisting
of President B. 3. Johnson and Presi-
dent Charles A. Comiskey of Chicago,
recommending the use Of the present
style of spikes on shoes during the
coming season was adopted. 1t was re-
ported that the committee was salts
fed that none Of the suggested devices
would replace the present style.
ITO discontinue the present style of
spikes would slow up the game" said
Comiskey. None of the substitutes
that we have examined will have the
effect of the old spikes. / admit that
they are dangerous, but think IL would
be better to adopt safeguards such as
shin guards or something like that in
stead of doing away with them. In my
mind baseball is just fast enough and
we would take no chances of reducing
that speed in any way"
The clubs were represented as fol-
| lows:
c. A. Comiskey. Chicago; Robert L.
| Hedges, st. Louis; Frank ]. Navine,
Detroit; j. F. Kilihoyl and G. w. SOM
ers Cleveland; Thomas c. Noyes,
Washington; Benjamin F. Shibe and
Connie Mack, Philadelphia; Frank J.
Farrell, New York; II. A. McBreen,
Boston.
| Six of the eight managers of the
league were present, but none of them
apparently was able to make any
trades with his fellows. 1t was expect
/ ed that the Washington and St Louis
clubs might be able to make a deal in
volving George Stone, but up to a late
hour nothing had been reported in the
trading line.
| The following managers were here:
| Connie Mack, Philadelphia; Patsy
Donovan, Boston; Hugh Duffy, Chi
cago; James McAleer, Washington;
Jack O'Connor, st. Louis; George Stal.

FOOD or COUNTRY
IN COLD STORAGE
SALVATION ARMY GATHERS SOME
STARTLING STATISTICS SHOW
ING THE CAUSE or HIGH
PRICES ALL OVER THE coUN-
TRY.

The following interesting article re-
garding the present high prices Of food
appeared in the War Cry of recent
date: No body of Christian workers is
more closely in touch with conditions
among the poor than the Salvation
army, and 1t stands to reason that the
army Is deeply interested in the agita-
tion to lower the price Of household
commodities now going on. Wherever
the blame for the terrible increase in
living expenses should or should not
be placed, IL seems that the limit with
regard to exorbitant charges has been
reached, and we shall hail any legal
and moral movement that will promise
success in bringing them to somewhere
near normal condition.
1t will be interesting to war Cry
readers to know that while housewives
are being driven by the high prices TO
boycott meat here is what the Ice and
Refrigeration Blue Book says is being
held in cold storage:
100000 cattle.
100000 calves.
25,00O,00O sheep and lambs.
100000 hogs.
According to these figures from the
among the cold storage men. there is
in storage one entire animal for each
adult in the United States, with
enough whole animals left over to give
two to each family.
This meat is being held in sos cold
storage plants. In addition 1t may in
terest the worried housekeeper to know
that in seventy eight freezing
plants in the country there are fish
waiting to be doled out that are valued
at $25,000,0O0.
In other cold storage plants during
any year now, according to the storage
mems own statistics, the struggling
wage-earner will find:
1,S00,O0O,0O0 eggs.
10000, 900 pounds of poultry.
Fruits valued at $4,000, 900.
Then, besides, there are millions OF
pounds of potatoes, onions, thousands
of turtles, cells, cases Of canned goods,
and milk, butter and cheese valued at
500, 900, 900.
At Washington a bill has been offered
in congress already forbidding the re-
tention of meat, fish, poultry, butter,
eggs, oysters or other food products in
cold storage for more than six months
Supporters of the bill assert that it's
passage would mean an immediate
ending of prices fixed to suit the food
kings without relation to natural con-
ditions.
A similar bill has just been offered
in the assembly at Albany, and 1t is
reported that a legislative committee
will visit New York to secure testimony
regarding the cold storage conditions.
In Albany there is one large storage
house from which, dealers say, comes
nearly one-half of the eggs used in this
city.

ence. He drifts also into habits that
undermine and eventually destroy any
manliness or force OF character with
which he may have been by nature
endowed" President Hutchins main
tained that the college course that i
worth while should be one demand
ing the expense OF the students best
powers; but he said: "A college
course is not worth while in this age
of activity and original thinking. in
this age OF great achievement and
great opportunities, ii it makes OF a
man a mere slave to the learning OF
others"
In other words, TO learn simply that
which is in the textbooks, TO be forti-
fed with dates and names, parrot-like,
is not an education as contemplated
in the university OF today. Beyond
this there must be developed in the
student ambition to apply the knowl-
edge and thought-training acquired at
college to present-day problems, to ser
vice and advancement OF mankind. a
students education is not finished
when he receives his diploma. He Is
then in position to begin the stud:
