Former Burlington Manager in Tilt at
Yesterdays Session With Bur
Iinston Directors Over
Ownership.
WHO OWNS THE THING?
Right to Operate Franchise is Vested
in Association or Individual Con-
Quoting the Baseball
Club.

Who owns the Burlington franchise
This question was asked by T. II.
Hume. Burlington director. at the
Central Association meeting yester-
day
Ned Egan says he owns it. The
Burlington Association has a claim on
it. Other magnates contend that it is
controlled by the Central Association
and can be operated by whomever
President Justice may see fit to give
it 10.
Mr. Hume started the argument
rather abruptly by asking the above
question 1t seems as though when
Egan went 10 Burlington in 1905 he
paid to the Burlington association the
sum of sl,400 for the franchise, grand
stand. bleachers and all of the assets
OF the association. In the contract
the word franchise is used in sew
eral instances, implying that it was
thing owned by the association and
could be sold to Egan. Since that
time Egan says he has never given
up the franchise Last season he
leased it to Phil Geier.
Now Egan wants to sell the fran
chise back to the Burlington Asso-
citation along with the other properties
which he owns in that city, and there
has been some hitch regarding the
matter
The matter was left with President
Justice and there is but one solution
OF it. The franchise, it would seem.
rests with the association or individ-
ual operating the baseball club in
Burlington at the present time. which
is the Burlington Baseball Association
or Mr.. Hayden, whatever the arrange
ments there are Whether Egan will
be allowed something for his claim is
not known.
Harry Hofer of Quincy, who prob
ably attended his last Central Asso-
citation meeting yesterday, did not
leave without getting into a little tilt
with other directors of the associa-
ion II was on the question of dis
tribntion of the Galesburg and Mon
mouth fines because of attendance
shortage There was some misunder-
staining on this score Hofer was en-
titled TO the money. but it took him
q long time in making the directors
believe So

OF course, there are some men who

Some have installed gas stove al

GUARDING THE KING.
Old English Methods When the Mon

The law raises peculiar safeguards

ereign in case of sickness. They are
mere survivals in the present settled
order Of government, but at one tine
the opportunity which the kings in
capacity afforded aspirants to the
throne or treason makers to shorten
his days at a minimum of risk of de-
lection made the precautions reason
able.
"If the king be taken SICK" says
Coke in his Institutes" there ought
to be warrant issue from the privy
council, addressed to certain physi-
clans and surgeons, authorizing them
to administer to the royal patient po-
tones, syrupos, laxitavas, medicinas,
etc. Still, none of these should be Civ
en- except by consent and advice of
the council, and they ought to set
down in writing everything done and
administered, and they should com
pound all drugs themselves and not in
trust their preparation to any apothe-
cary"
Coke wrote thus Of precedent in the
year 1910, and today the law is practi-
cally as he found it, although at the
present time in practice the privy coun-
ell simply hears reports Of the progress
of the kings malady and leaves actual
treatment entirely to the physicians in
direct charge of the case.-Exchange.

In reply to n query from a London

the following cablegram:
Charges mentioned I'm your tele-

Polygamy is forbidden by the Nor

GIANT TREES OF JAMAICA.
They Shed Masses Of Beautiful Silk
Cotton Every Year.

The silk cotton trees Of Jamaica are
one of the most striking natural fea-
lures Of this beautiful island, and Wis
itors express much curiosity concern
ing them. The fiber Of the cotton is
too short for textile uses, but its quail
ity Is delicate and fine.
The trees are most interesting in
structure. They reach height Of 20n
or 800 feet 1t is the largest tree OH
the island, and the branches often over
hang more than an acre Of ground.
Some Of them are centuries old, dat
ing back to the landing Of the Span
iards. They have withstoOd the trop-
adaptation of their structure. The
leaves are very few, and there are
heavy masses of roots.
This giant tree flowers once year
1t bears a number Of pods much the
size and shape Of cucumber. These
pods dry and burst, and out floats the
beautiful cream colored silk cotton,
covering the ground and sailing in the
air for some distance. The seeds, Of
course, are borne on the silky fila
ments. This cotton is used at present
only for pillows. Its use as guncotton
has been spoken Of.
The trees are often felled by the ma
tive Jamaicans and hewn into canoes,

COOK WITH GAS

Quoted by the Pacific Light & Power
Co. 1t was written by G. A. Robbins,
who was awarded a prize of IS for
his effort:
Nowadays nearly everything is
measured from the material. or dol
lars and cents standpoint. Such be-
ing the case one should consider the
merits of the cheapest fuel.
The ordinary cook stove will burn
match, turn knob and you have a
wood in twelve months, which at
eight dollars per cord will amount to
forty dollars. This does not cover
the cost of splitting. carrying into
the woodshed and later into the
house, or the removal of the ashes
and SCOT. Neither the backaches and
pans caused by the necessary clean
ing up that is an everyday occurrence.
nor the man or woman who may be
an orderly household.
To be sure, you may do all these
little things yourself, but your time
could be more profitably spent other
wise and Is therefore worth more to
you than you are getting ont of 1t by
such methods.
