GAN
 BE APPEALED House Passes Substitute Bill to Hurst Bradham Meas. ure Killed by Senate EQUALIZATION BOARD Is Changed From Three to Five Mem. bers and Circuit Court is Given
 Jurisdiction.
EQUALIZATION BOARD

Little Rock. Ark, April 22.-That a substitute bill, largely taking the place of the Hurst-Bradham measure which was killed in the Senate Fri day, was passed by the House this appears to be the fact. as developed from an analysis of today g measure. It is a Senate bill by Sem ator Woods and provides for a radi- cal amendment to the assessment ma- chinery in the several counties of th, State
 One of the chief regrets by friends of the Hurst-Bradham bill was that the defeat of the bill left the power of final adjudication of assessment of property in the hands of the county courts. The Hurst-Bradham m ,as- ure provided for appeals from the the county to the circuit courts if the county board of equalizers did not coincide with the adjustment made by the county judge. It was contended that this fact made it difficult to get property values raised to the level that they should be brought to, as the county courts were Inclined to cut down the assessments where raised by the equalizing board.
 Under the Woods bill which was passed today, the county boards. of equalization are given the right to appear from the decision of the coun- ty court, and may carry the case 10 the circuit court if it is thought that the assessment Is not properly made. More than this, any member of the equalization board can appeal from the finding of the coun!v court Tn other words, the amendment today takes away final action hy the coun- ty court and opens q ohonnel fer ap- peal.
 The bill also provides that county boards of Equalization in counties not having population of 25,OOO or over shall consist of five instead of three members, as at present. It is also provided that the county board of equalizers shall begin it's sittiuss earlier in September in reviewing the assessments and may have fiv O. six weeks for it's work instead of two weeks, as it is now restricted to. This IS believed to be very important amendment to the revenue laws, as it Is cleimed the boards, particularly in large counties. have never heretrfcre had stuff cient time to properly review the county as essments

RECOGNITION OF A GREAT
 STATESMAN.

From the New York Sun.
 From Washington comes the news that the Hon William Joel Stone f Missouri is to be raised to great honor among the Democrats of the Senate. His talents and his shining virtues are to be used to attract and onenare the valorous insurent Re- publicans. A compact of goodness 10 to be cemented between the apostles of purity on 10th sides of the chamber, and the sp,tless shieli cf Senator Stone is to cover all of aem.
 Here is the long de.ayed and oiten postponed reward of MT. Stone's stern and unbending struggle agains. the forces of wickedness. In this unani- nous recognition of the only honest men his lifelong devotion to the higa- est ideals and the ye1,nings of pee tic nature, his uncea5;ng vigilance in the cause of purity have their crown and symbol of triumph. The fran tic cheers of Joe Folk must rcecho even through the corridors of the capitol itself.
 As Senator Stone modestly assumes his new and we'll e'l'led honors. let nobody recall the envy inspired yet admiration laden analysis of Colonel Bill Phelps, who asserted, 1t seems centuries ago, that Glm Shoe Bill ''euclcs the eggs. but he hides the shells" and Colonel Bin Phelps Is now reformer. Such is the progr ass of virtue

Bobbie played in seventy-one games at
third base during the season and dur
ing the last part he was forced to quit
and go to his home because of his
health. He writes to Beckley that he
has recovered his health and Is ready
to play ball with Hannibal this sea

understands every department of the
game. He will make valuable adj

CINCINNATI, March 29.-The Ma

an equity court to enjoin the league
from busting it until it's right in court
had been determined A Chicago court
heard the case on merit, issued tenn
porary injunction and finally ordered
the league to continue in business

The president of the league did not
disobey the Injunction, but neither did
he obey the court order. Instead he
formed plan for dissolving the
league and forming new circuit with
Waterloo left out. This plan he sub
mitted to the national board Of base

court that the circuit must remain as

of the league is appealing to the ma

to the Hawk-Eye. commenting On
the decision of the National Baseball
commission in the Waterloo-T hree-T-
Quincy case, directing that all moneys
paid by Quincy for release from the
Central Association should be refund
ed to Quincy. states that in all prob
ability the National commission would
not insist on this provision when Il
understood the facts under which the
$4,000 was paid 70 the Central Asso-
citation. He pointed out that al the
time Quincy was fighting for It's re-
lease from the Central Association.
and appealing to the National asso-
citation and National arbitration board
the Central Association refused to
grant the release and urged Quincy
not to leave the Central Association
under the idea that it was sure of a
berth in the Three-I league The
Quincy officials were warned that a
berth in that league was not assured
to them. They replied that they
wanted their release whether they
played in the Three-I league or not.
They declared they would close their

The. Conclusions.

This case comes to the commits
sion on appeal by President Tearney
representing four clubs in the Three
Eye league, from finding made in the
case by the National board
THE commission has given the
matter its most careful consideration
and we have come to the following
conclusion:
'First-The action of the Waterloo
and Dubuque clubs in commencing
court proceedings with reference to
this controversy was entirely ,,nwar-
ranted. Both of these clubs had their
redress to the National association
and if an unsatisfactory finding was
made an appeal to the National com
mission, we therefore hold that all
court proceedings must be immed-
lately dismissed.
sSecond-We find that the Water
loo club has not been legally dropped
as a member of the Three Eye
league.
