No Representation Desired.

1t was decided that the fraternity should
not ask for representation on the national
commission. 1t was thought that there
was nothing to be gained by this, as 1t
would mean little actual power or voice
in the proceedings. In view of the fact,
too. that the commission deals with many
questions in which the players are not
vitality interested, it would not be fair
to demand right to vote on such mat
ters
Several other things Of moment in the
internal affairs Of the organization were
taken up. but no announcement was made
of them yesterday. Several suggestions
pointing toward the better relations be-
tween the owners and the players were
will be made during the winter.
The dues will be SIS a year. Many
OF the players were in favor Of making
the assessment higher. but it was felt
that If it was raised some might hest
tate to enter the movement. The en-
tire playing strength of the two leagues
was desired rather than a few choice
spirits. No objections have been raised
to the nominal dues fixed.
The fraternity has been incorporated
under the laws Of New York state, and
the members OF the association are pro-
tected financially. as the officers are I'M
der bonds. According to the bylaws no
large expenditures in the running of the
organization are allowed without the
consent of the advisory board. No effort
into the minor leagues as yet. although
this is a proposition which will come up
for consideration in the future. Only
players in the two major leagues, the
American and the National, are men,
bers. The managers are left out in the
cold. The fraternity is in no sense a
secret organization, but merely a protec-
tive association.

Andover Theological School and a former
roommate of Fred Snodgrass of the

that the manager refused. Beal says he
fears his friend will be released by the

Root Out Tax Title Sharks

According to Deputy Land Commits.
sioner Glen X. Munshaw, the land de.
partment is determined to root out the
land and title sharks. The tax title
business has been one Of the most col.
'ossal CRAFTS of any in the state and no
legislation has ever been aimed at II.
Those who know say the business com
pares more favorably, as short cut
to riches, than medical taking and
usury. The sharks have their largest
CRAFTS in the big cities, especially
Detroit, where many 'slivers exist.
"Sliyers" are the strips that are left
on either side of newly opened street
where the ROAD is run through lot
and does not occupy the entire width
of the- piece. In i've years this prop
erty falls into the hands OF the state
for non-payment of taxes. Ii is then
sold at the tax sales and IS usually
Oobbled up by the sharks. The con-
tingent owners are then notified 10
discontinue trespassing on the strip
under penalty OF arrest This shuts
the enjoiniug owner off from the
street entirely and IL is up TO him 20
meet the demands OF the shark.

mary school funds This money had
been collected by the auditor general

Wright has been paid some OF the
money and that only ii6. 900 still
remains. This money Is IN the gem

claims II and he cites several
supreme court cases and an opinion
from the attorney general to back HE
claim.

HAVE VALUABLE
new INVENTION

Devils Lake. N. D., Jan. S.-Bernard
jacobson. engineer at the electric
light plant and Knute Nygord, of
Mackenock, N. D., have recently made
application for a patent on a threshing
machine shaker which bids fair to
revolutionize the future construction
Of various machines for that use. The
application has been made at the pat
emit office in Washington in proper
form and 1t is hoped that a patent
may be issued In the near future on
the new idea.
The invention which they have beer
working on is said to be a great inn
~provelnent over the old shaker as it
will do away entirely with the old form
'of building the interior of the separa-
tor and will work over the straw bet
ter, run SO much lighter and lengthen
the life of a machine from five to
eight years. The new invention has
been tried out in a practical manner
and did it's work most successfully.
