DAWSON IS SOLD BY
 NEW ORLEANS TO
 ANNISTON MODELS

Charley Frank, manager of New Or leans, announced yesterday that he has sold Outfielder Dawson to the Anniston club. Dawson was sold to make room for Outfielder Butcher. who has been bought from Cleveland. However, all though Frank will make no state ment, 1t is understood that there has been a hitch in the Butcher deal and that 1t is probable that there will be some delay in Hanks reporting.
 Should Butcher not report, Frank will probably secure Outfielder Stone. Besides the outfielder, Frank is to get another pitcher and an infielder Bunt- ing is slated for the can, while it is probable that Fritz will be the twirler to go. Frank will not give anything out about his new men. He declares that there Is nothing definite.

B|G CEL.EBRAT|ONOF WATERLOO PLANNED All Europe to Join in the
 Centennial PIGEON SHOOTING Becoming Very Popular Sport at Hamburg = German Discharged
 and Loses Case Because He
 Posed as an Englishman
Nv MALCOLM CLARKE

Berlin. June 22.-(Special.) )-While San Francisco is celebrating the opening of the Panama canal with the worlds great est worlds fair the nations or Europe will be marking the centennial anniver- sary of the battle of Waterloo Upon all sides the hope is expressed that June
 of 1915 will find the world at peace and notable Prussians have taken the lead
 in proposing a peace monument to stand
 as a symbol of the horrors of war and the
 blessedness of amity between civilized
 people. The suggestion is well received,
 distinguished French publicists noting
 the better understanding which now pre-
 vails between the republic and descend-
 ants of the victors at La Belle alliance
 and Gravelotte. Headed sby M. and
 Madame Adolph Brisson. about 100
 French peace advocates visited Waterloo
 recently and laid wreaths at the foot of
 Cerone's 'Wounded Eagle" M. Jean
 Richepin, in the very house which the
 Duke of Wellington used as his head
 quarters throughout the battle, voiced the
 hope that France. England and Germany
 would for the future use their cannon
 only against common enemies of civili-
 zation.
 
 Pigeon shooting is becoming the most
 popular sport of Hamburg. The Inter
 national Pigeon Shooting club was recent
 ly founded and the traps are being attend ed by many notable German shots Broad lawns surround the clubhouse, which is
 one of the very finest in the Fatherland. Among the charter members are the American ambassador, MT. J. G. A. Leich- man, Prince Albert of Sehleswig-H and the Grand Duke Michael Mikhaylo- vich of Russia.
 While the governments of Great Britian and Germany are trying to get along on terms of brotherly love and friendship it does not follow that Germans are eager to change their eagle and tri-color for a part of the mane of the British lion or cross or diagonal in the Union Jack. Respect for the Fatherland still ranks high among Berliners.
 A fashionable tailor advertised for a city solicitor to look for trade amoung the summer visitors. The successful ap-
 plicant introduced himself as Theodore Smith of London. He had good luck in getting new clients, but his discharge came quickly His employer had discov- cred from his police papers that he was Schmidt not Smith. and Berlner in- stead of Londoner. Smith, or Schmidt sued for wrongful dismissal, justifying his subterfuge on the ground that as "an' English gentleman. and Theodore Smith of London,' he could do much better than as plain Meyer Schmidt of Berlin. The court punished him for hus lack of pa triotism by throwing his case out of court.

q Commenting on conditions in New

7oes and the police scandal. Cardinal
oibbons said:
II have read ali the newspapers have

and I hope the the situation will be
/. sifted to the bottom. that the guilty per-
sons will be found and punished II
ought to be done sauarey and defin-
itely. to the credit and glory Of our

Asked about the Bull Moose party.
Cardinal Gibbons replied that he let no.
body know his politics.
Socialism was another subject that the
Cardinal would not discuss.
II fnd there are SO many things called
socialism" he explained. that | rever
will discuss It until know just wha,
kind OF thing the questioner is talking
about. I find some very good things
called socialism. and l find some things
that l wouldn't call good"
But what about the great unrest
that the sociologists talk or so much?'
THAT unrest is more imaginary thar
real 1t comes from the exuberance
Of liberty. The American people are
20 free that they talk about the i'm
mediate bother. and there you get the
lOo- called unrest But really there is
10 country In better condition than ours
in to-day. None enjoys so grea,
degree of material prosperity None
Z Enjoys so much personal liberty. And
Il 4hat is why one hears complainings
