BURLINGTON, Iowa, July 21.-
when Central Association directors
adjourned from executive session at
the mid-season meeting today it was
announced that arrangements had
been made whereby Hannibal, Mo-,
would finish the present playing sea-
son. Hampered by pressing financial
conditions the Hannibal representa-
tives came to the league meeting pre-
pared to throw up the sponge, but.the
Central Association came to their as
sistance and solved the problem in
such manner that the circuit will
remain intact. 1t is not to be con-
strued that the league is backing Han
nibal financially, but conditions will
be met in such a way that Hannibal
will not need to give up it's fran
chise. Hannibal was the only city
which appeared to be in a condition
financially that was alarming.
The meeting was called to order at
10:45 O'Clock in the Burlington Hotel
bv President M e. Justice with rep
resentatives from every city in the
circuit present. President Justice sub
mitted financial report showing that
the league has the sum Of S4,201.20 to
It's credit OF this amount $1,301.20
is cash on hand and $4,000 is out on
interest.
The matter of renewing the articles
of incorporation which will expire IN
January of 1912, was postponed until
the annual meeting, a Lotion Of
Sterne of Keokuk to this effect being
carried.
President Hayden Of the Burlington
club proposed an amendment to the
constitution which would make 1t pos
sible for the clubs to pay salaries OF
disabled players. The league rules
provide that a player when disabled
must be suspended without pay. The
motion was lost by vote of to 2,
Keokuk and Kewanee voting against
II.
Lynch of Ottumwa moved that all
protests must be filed within three
days OF the game The motion was
carried.
At this point the league retired TO
executive session and the matter OF
Hannibals condition was taken up
and argued over thoroughly. thor
Ough investigation of the conditions
was made and it was decided that the
best thing the league could do was
to keep the circuit as it Is.
The delegates were entertained al
luncheon at the Burlington hotel and
will attend the baseball game this al
ternoon Before adjournment the mat
ter of protested games and the alleged
violations of the salary limit as
charged to Ottumwa will be taken up
Those present as representatives a

twent;four PLAYERS shall qualify for
the championship.
Owing to the large number who
played last Saturday 1t was not pos

opportunity to use the ground, so
another opportunity will be given to-
morrow and the committee hope the
full number will qualify. 1t has been
decided that there shall be consola-

should Not Remain n Joke.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
5 The determination of mosquitoes
seems to be the foundation of numerous
large, but yer in the newspapers. The
writer, through the Evening STAR.
would like to voice his opinion on this
matter. Does it not seem that the
problem of "squelching'' the mosquito
has been a joke long enough?
In these days Of science and research
we all know very we'll now these pests
not only annoy with their singing, but
arc carriers of disease and death. There
is no law which limits the persons
animals, places and things upon which
the mosquito may rest and work. From
refuse dumping places his next stop is
liza Bile to be the room of healthy people,
or worse yet. the hand or neck of a
healthy person.
1t is only a matter of luck that this
person escapes with only a sting. Very
often he becomes i'll with a fever OF
some kind and attributes 1t to the
weather or anything but the real cause,
Then there is another aspect of the
matter which should eliminate the joke
part of it. Grown-up persons usually
have brains and means enough to keer
the pests away from them, but little
babies have neither. When an insect
bites them they can only cry a little
louder than usual,
If mosquitoes in New Jersey can be
abolished it should be done, and this
would be one of the greatest works ac'
complished. Nothing will be gained
however, by making a joke Of the stu
alton. All should cooperate in making
an earnest fight to put the pest out OF
business. STUNG.

Watch Fireworks Merchants.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star.
The STAR prints a story stating
that all major details for the Fourth
of July celebration were consummated
Thursday night by the members of a
special committee of the Common
Council which had been appointed for
that purpose. 1t is clearly stated that
the city this year will not have a dis
play of fireworks. 1 wish to con1pli-
ment the committee on this stand, and
know that we may now have a true
celebration.
In the past there has not been a
single celebration of the Day of Inde-
pendence that there has not been "A
serious accident. This yea we may
look forward and almost feel that
there will be no calamity of any kind
here. In my opinion, the committee
has chosen the pest way to celebrate
the great day of the yea Speeches
and concerts viii do more good than q
great outlay for expensive fireworks
which are liable to cause loss Of life.
1t is we'll to remark, too, that a close
watch be kept on the INSCRIPTIONS

nance. The longer the children are

llent of prison labor where it COM
petes against free labor of the skilled
class. n are doing away with the
contract labor system.
I hope that the STAR and other New
Jersey newspapers will oppose this
proposition and / would suggest that
prison labor be employed largely for
road making, as 1t is in the South and
many places in the West. The labor
could also be used on public works
where free skilled labor is not neces-
sary.
l believe that the prisoners them
selves would prefer this plan If they
had any choice In the matter, which
they have not, but it seems to me
that 1t was not the intent of the law
when depriying a man OF his liberty to
also shut him up between foul walls
where he is deprived of air and sun
shine.
Why not use this labor for the good
purpose of building roads which are sc
badly needed, be it county or State
work? The counties pay out a large
lot of money for road building and for
the most part foreign labor is en-
ployed, labor that is transient, and
the returns from. the labor is of little
use to u citizens. ". ]. MORGAN.
