Despite the opposition of Jimmy
McGill, the Denver mogul, Tip O'Neiil
is determined that his new plan for an
increased portion of the gate receipts
to visiting teams shall be adopted by
the league. The Denver News says:
:" The weak clubs in the Western
league are going to be strengthened
The circuit Is no stronger than its
weakest member and at present con-
ditions are not what they should be.
My plan is to raise the amount which
home teams have to pay to visiting
clubs, u cents on each ticket of adj
mission. That would make Denver
pay II u cents as against the Is cents
which other mines would have to come
through with.
AT the last meeting James c. Nc
Gill of the Denver club blocked the
plan but it will go through l don't
know Just what measures We Will have
to take but that advance is coming
and McGiIl may as well get prepared
for it
'Thus spoke President Norris (Tip)
O'Neil president of the Western
league. as he expounded his plans for
the future conduct of the league yes
terday in the offices of McGin. (That
gentleman by the way was not pres
ent. He is in Los Angeles)
''The fact that the change would
make Denver pay great deal more
than any other club in the circuit
would have to come through with was
pointed out to the executive, but it
made no difference in his statements.
That change is coming, he re-
peated, and coming quickly, no mat
ter what the opposition may be. 1t
a unanimous vote to pass
possible that McGill will not see why
he should not meet the advance.
If he doesn't, well and good. We
have another ruling in the constitution
which requires only a majority vote.
Possibly the Denver magnate would
prefer to accept that rather than the
change in the ticket assessment, but
I don't think so.
- The measure to which I refer is
that requiring each and every club to
pay 10 per cent of the gate into the
league treasury as a sinking fund. This
has not been in use under the present
system of paying on individual tickets
but it can be enforced, If necessary

HE SUES FOR THISTLE CROP.
Farmers of Cove County Interested in
Strange Suit.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 24-In an
article entitled Russian Thistle-The
Poor Mans Alfalfa" in the current is
sue Of the Northwestern Miller, Charles
| Dillon of the Kansas Agricultural COL
| lege, writes:
''One of the queerest things in agri-
culture has happened in western Kan
sas. An outlaw weed, despised by
thousands of farmers, a price upon it's
head, has become the object of a law
suit Probably two-th 'rds of the farm
ers in Kansas are interested in that
suit. The reason for it, the truth about
the weed and both sides of the unusual
case, are enough to hold the attention
of farmers anywhere
Ordinarily it would be supposed that
the only suit possible to conceive, with
Russian thistles as the cause, would be
an action to compel the defendant to
burn them or to have him fined for
permitting them to exist.
But in Cove county, which is in
northwestern Kansas, not far from the
classic precincts of Jericho, a farmer
has sued another for his share of a
crop of thistles-Russia thistles-and
the whole state is stirred up over it,
and once more, as happens every few
years, the people are divided into par
ties for or against the pest, or alleged
pest, as the case may be decided.
when the people of Kansas debate q
question, they do it with what might
thistles chance to be the subject, they
are especially fervent. Precedents
earlier decisions, analyses and other
evidence are not lacking to support
either side
''The strongest imaginable proof of
the high regard in which the particular
farmer held the thistle is shown in his
action in court. He had had an agree
ment with a tenant whereby each was
to have One-half the crop that was ex-
pected- That no crop except Russian
thistles appeared showed what a very
hot, dry year it was in northwestern
Kansas. No summer ever was so hot
and dry that this weed wiIted
1t grew and prospered on the Grove
county farm, and as nothing else in the
forage line put its head above the cIods.
Mr.. Landlord sued Mr.. Tenant for one
half, the said tenant having ev-nced a
disposition to keep the thistles for his
own livestock. The point is in part:
What standing has this weed in court:
a weed Iegislated against by several
states? Isn't it much like a gambler
trying to collect a debt?"

GIBBONS KNOCKS OUT LEWIS.
ST. Paul Fighter Sends Him TO SIum-
berland Again.

New York. Feb. 24-Mike Gibbons
of St Paul knocked out Willie Lewis
of New York in the second round of
a scheduled ten round bout here Fri
day night. It was the St. Paul well
terweight's second defeat Of Lewis,
within two months.
The knockout blow was a right to
the chin, administered when Lewis
was webbing from previous punish
ment.
Gibbons in the first round sent four
rights and four lefts to Lewis head,
staggering him. Lewis fought wild
~. but his opponent ducked and block
ed the blows. Lewis then landed two
good rights to Gibbons face. but a
right to the jaw in return dropped
him to the mat for the count of nine.
Just as he arose the bell rang.
Lewis came up weak in the second
and Gibbons let go a tornado OF rights
and lefts, staggering the New Yorker
with a short left and with a right to
the chin decided the battle.

MAY LOCATE MISSING TEACHER.
Unsigned Letter Is Believed to Have
Been Written by Jackson.

Wichita. Kan, Feb. 24.-The mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance of
Ralph Jackson, a Sterling, Kan, high
school teacher, who disappeared from
Wichita the first of last October, may
be solved in a letter received by Jack
sons parents at League City, Tex. The
contents of the letter were telephoned
to this city to Stanley Coppock, who
conducted the search for jackson
here.
The letter is dated at Tampico, Mex
leo, and is unsigned. It speaks of per-
sOnal matters, however, which Jack
sons parents deem conclusive proof
of its authorship as they were known
only to them and him. Jackson's faith
er has gone to Tampico to investigate
The letter was sent to Pond Creek
Okla, where Jackson's parents lived
when he disappeared and was for
warded to them at League City.

custom than it would be to under
take to enforce an assessment at
true and full value. A bill was ac-
cordingly drawn providing among
other things that. except as NAV
be otherwise provided by law all
property subject to general pro-
perty tax shall be valued at its true
and full value in money, which
shall be entered opposite each item
on the assessment rolls, and shall
be assessed at fifty per cent of such
true and full value. Such assessed
value shall in all cases be taken
and considered to be the value of
such property for purposes of tax
alton, and shall be the the value
upon which the tax levy shall be
made"
The bill was introduced in the
house by the chairman of the COM
mittee on taxes and tax laws, and
after the adoption of an amendment
changing the basis of assessment
from fifty per cent of true value to
forty per cent it passed that body
and was transmitted to the senate
where, after brief debate, it was
indefinitely postponed"
The failure of the bill to pass
was due not so much to hostility to
the principle involved as it was to
the inability of the members to
agree upon the per cent of true
value at which the assessment
should be made. A plurality but
not majority of the members
favored the fifty per cent basis pro-
vided in the bill as introduced.
Some favored thirty per cent, other
forty, others forty-fve, and others
sixty; and in the house one member
offered an amendment providing
that property containing iron ore
should be assessed at sixty per cent
OF its true value, city property at
fifty per cent and farm property at
forty per cent. Out of this null
tiplicity of views it seemed impos-
sible to reach common ground.
The bill landed at the end of the
session in the legislative ash heap
where It slumbered until the follow
ing session. But the legislature
recognizing the urgency of the
matter, and feeling that something
must be done, to relieve the situa-
ton, just before it adjourned sine
die adopted a concurrent resolution
requesting the commission to adj
here to existing methods until the
legislature met again,
