Tearney and Hayes Discussed
Three-Eye League Diff
culties at Peoria.
LATTER FOR TEN CLUBS
Believes That Best SOlution-South-
ern Clubs Stand Pat and a
Deadlock Seems Sure.

Peoria. H., Jan. 2o-(Special)-
The adjourned meeting of the Three
Eye league will be held at the Palmer
house in Chicago Thursday, Jan. 26.
according 10 an announcement made
by President Al Tearney here last ev-
ening.
Tearney arrived at Peoria at noon
yesterday from Chicago about the same
time that ]. T. Hayes, vice president
of the league, arrived from his home
city, Davenport, and the two went
into a conference over present league
difficulties. There was nothing secret
about the meeting. and aside from Mr..
Tearney and Mr.. Hayes there were no
other baseball men present.
TALK 1O-CLUB CIRCUIT.
The agitation for a 1O-cIub league
proved to be the real cause of the little
confab. Hayes apparently liking that
scheme better than the dismissal of
Waterloo and Dubuque from the league.
Teaney argued the matter with Hayes
at considerable length in order to get
at the bottom of the 10-club plan.
Later Tearney stated that he was not
opposed to anything the majority of
the league magnates favored, asserting
that the 10-club plan advocates would
have a fair hearing in the coming
meeting.
1T is not what we are going to do;
it is how quick we do it," declared Mr..
Hayes. The fans are tired of the I'M
certainty OF things and are anxious for
a glance at a baseball schedule once
again"
SOUTHERN CLUBS STAND PAT.
Information at hand here is TO the
effect that the four southern directors
are prepared to stand pat on ousting
Waterloo and Dubuque and taking in
Quincy and Decatur. Should Rock Is
land and Davenport decide to stick to
Waterloo and Dubuque a deadlock
would ensue, both Waterloo and Du-
buque being entitled to vote on the
question, according to the decision OF
the Chicago court in dissolving the
Waterloo injunction Who will be the
first to give in and break this deadlock.
should it develop in the meeting. is I'M
known, but it will be here that the fu-
ture formation of the league circuit
will develop and not before. unless
either Rock Island or Davenport sides /,
in with the southerners from the very
start of the proceedings in the meet |

New York, Jan. 2O.-David Belasco
and the David Belasco company were
made defendants in two supreme court
actions, in which Lee Shubert and ia
cob Shubert seek to recover a total of
$3.50. 900 damages. The Shuberts as

contract with Belasco by which he
agreed for period Of five years TO
produce his dramas in their theatres
for the same percentage of profits that

Before the meeting adjourned to

that special addresses would be de-
livered by William Williamson and
DR.. Wilcox.
After these preliminarles were got
ten out of the way Robert H. Ander-
son, manager of Nahiku Rubber Co.,
took the foar and partially read and
partially delivered a running address
on the subject of rubber culture and
rubber machinery. In general, his
remarks tended to show that the
growers now had a pretty fair mas
terry of the subject of rubber growing
and were in a good way to obtaining
all the newest ideas for working the
product. He recommended that a de-
legate be sent to a convention of
rubber machinery manufacturers to be
he'd shortly in London, with view
TO finding out what growers in other
parts of the world were doing.
The speaker explained in detail
much of the work being carried on
at Nahiku, most of his remarks being
of a technical trend. In the course
of his address he was frequently piled
with questions, which were answered
promptly as they came out. Mr., An
derson's address, while of little in

valuable addition to the literature Of

GOVERNORS Plain
TALK ON LOCAL
GOVERNMENT

Governor Frear in an interview this
morning outlined some interesting
views on the local municipal govern
ment which views, it is assumed, will
be embodied in his message to the le-
gislature next month. The governors
ideas include abolition of the Office of
mayor and practically a government
by small elected board of supervis-
ors, or commissioners. Governor Frear
said:
"Of course, a great many bills on all
sorts of subjects will come before the
legislature. One of the most import
ant groups of bills will doubtless be
that relating to County and City and

EXPERTS NEXT
IN THE M'QDAID CASE

The McQuaid case is now reaching
the stage of expert medical testimony.
The defense has prepared a lengthy
hypothetical question, setting forth
the various facts of the case, which
question is to be put to a number of
medical experts with a view to getting
before the jury their opinions as to
the sanity of the defendant at the
time when he shot Driver. In the
further cross examination of Nc
Quad this morning the prosecution
sought to show that long before the
shooting he had declared his inten-
ton to shoot Driver but McQuaid
denied recollection of any such threat.
Detectives McDDuf1e and Lake gave
testimony which showed that for
some time before the shooting they
were both kept busy by McQuaid,
and both feared a tragedy.

At the request of City and County
Attorney Cathcart, McQuaid was re-
called, and asked whether he had told
j. H. Mackenzie, either late in Octo
Der or early in November, that he
would kill Driver.
McQuaid replied that he had not,
and also denied that in February last
he had told Murray Mackenzie that
he would kill Driver.
Chief of Detectives McDuffie testi
fed that he knew McQuaid. In 1910
McQuaid visited witness on four diff
ferent occasions, and complained with
regard to Drivers attentions to de-

MAYOR HAS new
NAMES, BOARD
CLAIMS MORE POWER

Mayor Fern will probably submit to
the board of supervisors tomorrow a
new list of appointments, to take the
places of those turned down by the
board. A somewhat delicate legal
question has been raised as to wheth-
er Road Supervisor Wilson and 9th
ers in the same class, who were not
confirmed, are still in office.
According to one view of the mat
ter, Wilson and others hold office, un-
der their former appointment and con-
firmation, until their successors are
appointed and qualified" According
to another view, the action of the pre-.
sent board, in voting that they be not
confirmed, killed the old combinations
and created a vacancy in every Office
regarding which the present board so
voted.
The matter has been passed up to
the city and county attorney, but a
settlement of the legal question may
not be necessary. AS far as Wilson is
concerned, his Office is to be practi-
cally abolished anyhow, by cutting the
salary to very small figure and CIV
ing the work to the city and county
engineer. In the cases Of the other
road Offices, it remains to be seen whe-
ther the mayor will submit names
which the board will confirm. 1t is
said to be possible that compromise

Thanksgiving Day Nov. 80.

President Taft will designate Thursday
November 30, as Thanksgiving Day
this year. 1t always has been the Gus
tom to fix the last Thursday in the month.
This year there had been some doubt
because November happened to include
five instead of four Thursdays. The
White House has been besieged by
theatrical managers and those in charge
of college football games to settle this
doubt so that definite arrangements
could be made for the usual array of
special performances and sports that
mark the day.
Bankers throughout the country were
said to be anxious that the President
should designate November23 as Thanks
giving Day. They claimed that the
making of November 80 legal holiday
would seriously interfere with their
work, inasmuch as the law requires
national banks to make their statements
to the Treasurer Department on the first
day of each month. and holiday falling
on the last of the month would be most
inconvenient.

To Form a Chapter Here

Miss Lilan E. Latimer, State Organ
izer of the Maryland Association of
Workers for the Blind spent several
days in Snow Hill this week.
She will call mass meeting on Sept
ember 7th. in Snow Hill at which
two most interesting addresses will be
delievered. The one will set forth what
has been done for the blind in Maryland.
and the other what is proposed to be
done, and how all the local chapters and
the general public can aid in the work.
At this meeting there will be an exhib-
tion of work executed by the blind. An
interesting program will be rendered.
Miss Latimer has no eyesight what
ever. She has been blind since she was
sixteen years of age, but she gets around
in such manner and addresses one with
such perfect ease that 1t is hard to
realize that she is blind woman.
She stated that the chapters. such as
it is proposed founding in Snow Hill, are
of great value in finding blind persons.
But for the local chapters many might
remain forever INDICATED and unbene-
fitted.
Miss Latimer says the blind want
sympathy and not pity, and it is not
desired that they be made subjects of
the latter.
The Maryland workshop for the blind
is in Baltimore. The institution says
that the loss of sight does not mean the
loss of everything. but the blind are
taught so well to do something's that
they become as expert as those who can
see. At the meeting in Snow Hill pic
lures will be shown of the blind people
at work. There will be no charge for
admission to the lecture.
