TITLE CASH NEEDED

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Organized baseball
may have two outlaw leagues 70
fight instead of one. Formal announce
ment of new circuit to include eight
of the largest cities of the middle west
was made today by William c. Niesen,
owner of the Gunthers and John T.
Powers, he local baseball promoter The
latest circuit is not a part of the Uni
ted States League which eastern out
laws" are launching. It is to be made
up of eight cities selected from Chicago,
Kansas City. st. Louis, Milwaukee
Louisville, Indianapolis Columbus,
Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Cleveland and
Detroit. Clubs in Chicago, Milwaukee,
St. Louis and Kansas City are practi-
cally assured now.
The scheme is one which does not
necessitate the use of millions of dol
lars but can be made success with a
moderate outlay of cash The mag
mates are to be the leading semi-pro
club owners of the various cities. This
for the first season as a starter. The
best of the semi-prO players will be
utilized and any big league stars not
under contract who care to cast their
lot with the league will be offered lib
eral inducements.
Daily baseball with eight frst-class
teams, will be our aim said NieSen.
THAT the time is ripe for a rebellion
against the trust methods of organic
ed baseball is apparent. The sem1-prO
owners are rapidly being driven out OF
business by the actions of the national
commission and big league magnates.
The recent legislation forbidding exhi-
bition games with sernf-pro teams in
league territory was a hard blow at the
Independents. We must do something
in self defense
Niesen and Powers are in communi-
cation with the leading semi-pro mag
mates of the west A preliminary meet
ing will be called for the near future,
probably for next Saturday at which
the initial steps of organization will be
taken.

 sailing and a most delightful time. We made exceptional speed from Ha- vana to New York, covering the, dis tance in four hours less than four days Every one of the party has
 heen well all the time and every one has declared to me that it has been the best trip he has ever taken We
 have been travelling in. southern sum- mer.
 "I am deeply shocked at the news
 of the sinking of the Titanic with
 the loss of all those lives. We first heard of the disaster about 200 miles from New York, when the Alvina's wireless caught the message. You
 do not know how that message start led us and how anxious we all were
 to learn more of the details" three monkeys, four parrots, bundles of spears, bows and arrows, tropical
 plants, saddles, ancient pottery, paint ings and other valuable mementoes picked up on the trip.
 John Hartman sailor of the crew. was left in hospital at Para, where an operation for appendicitis was per- formed under the direction of Dr. Ar
 mold, the commodore and party re-
 maining at that port long enough to learn that the operation was success full and that the patient was on the way to recovery.

why LIQUOR MEN
FAVOR LOCAL OPTION.

The hight which the brewers
and liquor advocates are making
for local option as against state
wide prohibition this fall is some
what amusing, when we remem-
Der they have always opposed
local option heretofore, and have
always made a bitter fight against
a town or county going dry un-
der local option law. But the
proposed prohibition amend
ment places them in a position
where they are forced to choose
between the devil and the deep
sea, and it seems they are on
better terms with the devil than
with the sea; so, while they are
no friends of local option, yet
they fear it less than statewide
prohibition, and therefore take
sides for local option as against
prohibition. The following from
their own camp reveals the
straits they are in:
James Nj. Atherton, the brain
lest man in the liquor business,
says: Let the preacher and
Sunday school superintendent
advocate low license, high license
or local option, anything but
prohibition. / warn you, there
are thousands upon thousands of
voters, and practically all good
women in this country, that favor
prohibition. You can sell at re-
tail in local option territory, but
you cannot hide your distillery
and brewery. The day prohibi-
tion goes into effect, that day
your business has got to die"
Mr.. Atherton also says: THE
two most effective weapons with
which to fight prohibition are
high license and local option. l
think local option is less objec-
tionable ito the liquor business,
of course) in it's practicable oper-
alton than the extreme high
license. !"
Anassuser, of Anheuser, Busch
& Co., says: Probably local OPP
tion is the best thing for the
trade ut this time, with the pres
en9 state of public opinion.
Thus we see that the brewers
are advocating local option as the
best means of preventing prohi-
bition. On which side are you
going to line up, voter, with the
brewers for local option, or with
the people for statewide prohi
bition? 1t is always safe to take
the opposite side from the brew
ers, the distillers, and the saloon
keepers on this liquor question.
They want local option because
they know that under local OPP
tion their business is safe for
years to come in Colorado They
fear prohibition because, as Mr..
Atherton, quoted above, says,
"The day prohibition goes into
effect, that day our business has
got to die" Vote YES" for the
prohibitory amendment, and kill
the liquor business in Colorado.
