Want New Policies, if There Are to

Making Plans.

The stockholders of the Rock Island
Baseball association last night held
their annual meeting at the New Har-
per house, and though they were in
session three hours they accomplished
very little and failed to even select
their directors for the coming year. 1t
was The concensus of opinion of those
present that the club should not take
any Steps towards settling its policies
for the coming year until the league
has had its annual meeting. Differ
ent scmtions of the financial troubles
which all the clubs have to face year
after year are to be presented at the
league meeting and it is probable that
that the Three Eye will take some
measures looking towards a more
economical management In this event
the teal club stockholders and pros
pective directors wanted to be free to
start with such an end in view. The
present officers OF the club will remain
in charge until after the league meet
ing Then President W. H. Reck will
call another session Of the stockhOld-

be selected and the work of getting a

1t is our duty and our desire to

He practically controlled the
committee of st. Paul business
men which was appointed to rep

Hill was not on any of the COM

sions with them.
Easier Grab.
Hill wants state control" OF
water powers. 1t is easier to
grab" from a state than from the
federal government, especially in
these latter days of national pro-
gressiveism. He didn't like the
program because there was too
much of Roosevelt's federal con-
troll" on 1t. He proceeded to
change 1t, using the local COM
mittee as tool. He worked both
underhandedly and openly.
He tried to get open anti-conser-
vationists on the program. Such
men as Congressman Mondell and
Senator Tom Carter, open enemies
of the Roosevelt and Pinchot poll
cies, were suggested by the local
committeeman, speaking for Hill,
for places on the program.
A demand that five western
governors be placed on the pro-
