BASE BALL
Fine Record Made at Home-At Dallas
Today and Play Oklahoma City Here
Iommorw.

The record made by the Pirates on
the home grounds the past two weeks
was indeed fine one. They played
eight games and won seven, one from
Oklahoma City, three out of four from
Fort Worth and three straight from
Dallas Since the new men, Garvin,
Flick and Mays, joined the team they
have played great ball and the team is
strong in all departments now. The
pitchers are going fine, and all the men
are hitting the bali hard. Shreveport is
climbing up in the percentage column,
and if they continue to play ball as they
have in the last few games they will
soon be on top. Shreveport defeated
Dallas, strong team, with ease, taking
the first game 8 to 2, and shutting Dali
las out in the other two by scores of 8
to o and to 0, the latter going ten in
nings. The pitchers did splendid work
in these games. Shreveport played Dali
las in Dallas yesterday aud play there
today. They will return home tomor-
row and play Oklahoma City three
games, then they will leave for another
road trip returning on the 21st.
The attendance has not been as good
as it should have been. The team has
been playing great ball and the attend
ance at these games ought to be better.

INCOME TAX
Reported That Governor Sanders Faces
Crisis.

The Times-Democrat's Baton Rouge
special says: According to every known
rule for Judging of the successor failure
of a political leader. Governor Sanders
will face crisis early next week in his
present attempt to form an organization
that will continue the Sanders regime
after he goes out of Office. Tuesday the
Senate will be face to face with the
question of what to do with the Houses
ratification of the income tax amend
ment.
That the Governor is opposed to rati-
ication is known to too many persons to
permit even a technical denial to be of
any weight, even if made by the Gov
ernor himself, which seems improbable.
If the Governor can hold the Senate to
the course it adopted the other day, his
purpose will have been accomplished.
If the Senate stands by its action,
both Governor and the Speaker win out
The former accomplishes his desire to
beat ratification and the Speaker shows
that he has a following outside of the
city. The only losers are the Louisiana
members of Congress, both senators and
representatives, who have used their in
fuence to have the Legislature back UP
what they did during the special ses-
sion in voting for submission of the
amendment.
But when the House concurrent reso-
luton ratifying the amendment comes
up in the Senate on Tuesday some one
is going to make a motion to have the
Senate concur therein Such a motion
has precedence over motion to refer
to committee, to postpone or to con-
cur with an amendment.
1t will be necessary for the Governor
to think up some plan to hold the Sen
ate in line Perhaps the city leaders
and the Governor are working hand in
hand and the city leaders will not un-
dertake to use influence in behalf of a
concurrence by the Senate in the House
resolution Such a plan could only pro-
fceed upon the hypothesis that the Gov
ernor believes it will be for the advant-
age of his organization to have his de-
sire to kill ratification fulfilled by hav-
ing the two houses remain in state of
disagreement and that such a way of
disposing of the matter will be of ad-
vantage to himself and the city organi-
zation.
Senator Gleason, an avowed opponent
of ratification, is authority for the as
sertion that the city leaders now in the
city have not done thing toward lining

A MANDAMUS SUIT
Filed by the Stevens Construction Com
pany of Chicago, ILL.,, Against the
City Council.

Friday night mandamus was served
on the Mayor and each member of the
Council while i'll session The man
damus was on the part of the Stevens
Construction Company Of Chicago, III,
and was intended to restrain the Coun-
Gil in the award of contracts for street
paving. The compliments. represented
by Davis, Webb & Browne, aver that
they are the lowest bidders, but the
Council has awarded to the highest bid
der. The Council on the advice of City
Attorney Butler proceeded to its busi-
ness without interruption and regardless
of the mandamus.
1t was believed that the Council would
be in contempt of court, but the pro-
ceedings were not peremptory and sim
ply suit to show cause The case will
be heard on June Q, and should the al
legation Off the Stevens Construction
Company be sustained, the action of the
Council Friday night will become null
and void. Otherwise the contracts for
paving will remain active unless inter
rupted by other proceedings in law.

up the city senators for a vote to con-
Cur i'll the House resolution. The anti
ratification leaders in the House assert
that they quit the fight against ratifca-
ton last night and made no effort to
hold their forces in line today, because
they had been given to understand that
the adverse vote of the Senate would
be allowed to stand. They conveyed
the impression that there is an under
standing that the amendment is to die
in that way.
But, understanding or no understand
ing, motion to concur when made on
Tuesday will, as before observed, put
the Governor face to face with the
question as to whether he will fish or
cut bait.

Washington, d. C., June 4.-Last bull
letn gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent 2 to E, warm wave
/ to 5, cool wave a to s. This was pre-
dicted to be the most important dis
turbance of the month and warning was
given of dangerous storms.
The next disturbance win reach the
Pacific coast about 8, cross Pacific
slope by close of 9, great central valleys
10 to II, eastern states 13. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about 8, great
central valleys 10, eastern sections IL.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope about
II, great central valleys I3, eastern
states IS.
This wilr not be very important dis
turbance. Its greatest force will be de
veloped on the Pacific slope and in AT
lantic coast sections Most rain will fall
from great lakes northward. Not much
rains in the States west of the Missis
sippi and not much rain in Southern
States.
The third disturbance of June will
reach the Pacific coast about II, cross
Pacific slope by close of IS, great cen
tral valleys 10 to I8, eastern sections 10
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about IA, great central valleys 10, east
ern sections 49, Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about II, great central val
1eys 10, eastern states 81.
This will be next to the most import
ant disturbance of the month and severe
weather will prevail as it crosses the
continent Some rains about and north
east of the great larkes, but not much
elsewhere in the States.
Some indications of too much rain
for spring wheat in Canada during
June. This, however, may not injure
the crop as it will be in that stage of
progress when rapid growth is neces-
sary A little too much rain will be
better than drouth. These excessive
rains will not cover the whole month
| am expecting a shortage of rain in the
cotton belt and in Cuba during June
except at few points near the coasts.
Precipitation will be from about to
above normal on the Virginia and Caro-
lima coasts and in the vicinity of Hous-
ton. Some heavy rains will occur about
the great lakes. In some sections Sc
rious drouths will prevail
Temperatures of June win average
much above normal and--where mois-
ture is sufficient-this will make ideal
corn and oats weather. But in those
places where rainfall is deficient the hot
weather of June will hurt the crops.
There are two prominent features or
conditions that radically affect market
prices, particucularly during the sum
mer months. Crop weather is one of
these and must always be reckoned
with. The other comes from the manip-
ulations of the great SPECTATORS. They
are somewhat difficult to understand but
a long experience enables us to follow
their tracks fairly well. One potent
influence with these great spectators is
the fact that American grain has been
too high for foreign markets This has
prevented expectation. The big specu-
lators want an outlet for their grain and
therefore they have made long siren
uous bear campaign to get our prices
down to where grain can be shipped
abroad ! saw this months ago and ad-
vised readers of these bulletins that a
bear campaign on grain was coming.

SLUMP IN THE AUTO BUSINESS
Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts
of Manufacturers.

New York-Indications point to the
bottom having fallen out Of the auto
mobile business. The manufacturers,
IL is reported in trade circles, are
making strenuous efforts to keep up
a show of continued prosperity, but
it is also said that they are not sell
ing their product, but are storing ma
chimes throughout the country at their
various agencies to prevent the pub
lie realizing the true conditions of the
market.
Several large concerns are laying
off men and giving all sorts Of rea-
sons for so doing except the statement
that they are overstocked. Two or
three of the largest factories re-
Gently closed entirely, ostensibly for
the purpose of taking inventory, but
the workmen were not given any def
mite time at which to again report for
work, and 1t is not expected that
these factories will again be in oper-
alton this year.
A well-known automobile agent OF
this city said recently that all cars
would undoubtedly be selling at from
% per cent to so per cent less than
present list prices within the next
two or three months. He added:
"The trouble with the automobile
business is that the farmers and peo-
pie of the smaller cities and towns
have not taken as kindly to the idea
as was anticipated. The farmers find
that the cost of keeping them in re-
pair and operation is more than the
cost of keeping horses to perform the
same work, and while there was, for
time, tendency among the farmers
to invest in the machines, the demand
for cars from this class Of buyers has
practically stopped, and l venture to
say we will not again sell to the farm
ers to any extent until prices are ma
terially reduced"

CURE Also Implicated as Having
Unrest in Indian Contracts.

Muskogee, Ok, Aug. 5.-Vice-Presi-
dent Shermans name was brought
into the McMurray Indian lands con-
tract here.
Senator T. P. Gore, who was the
first witness in the congressional in
vestigation which was begun here as
result of Cores charges made in the
senate, named tie vice president as
the one who has been referred to
heretofore as 1.-The man higher up" in
the government.
Senator Gore after declaring that he
with an offer of bride of $4,000 to
remove all congressional opposition to
the contracts, asserted that Hamon
had said man "higher up" in the
government was interested" in the
contracts. Senator Gore at first said
he was reluctant to name the man
mentioned as higher up" but later,
on being pressed by Congressman
Burke, chairman of the committee, de-
clared that Hamon has used the name
of Vice President Sherman.
when l scoffed at the offer of a
bride, even if it were raised to $780,.
600, as Hamon suggested it might be-"
testified Senator Gore, my visitor
(Hamon) in my office at Washington
went on to say that other members
of congress were interested in the
contracts. He said Senator Curtis was
interested and Congressman Mcclure
of Oklahoma was interested.
The bribery offer, Senator Gore ex-
planned, followed his opposition to the
approval by congress of what are
known as the McMurray contracts
with the Choctaw and Chickasaw
tribes of Indians.
By these contracts, he said, ]. F.
McMurray, an attorney, and his as
sociates, were to receive 10 per cent
of the profits in the sale of 100000
acres Of coal and asphalt lands, be-
longing to the Indians.
"As a New York syndicate stood
ready to pay $3OOOO,OOO for the lands
the 10 per cent to the McMurray in
terests for attorneys fees would real
lie $3,OOO,OOO," said the senator.
