Tyrus Cobb, rated by many good
judges as the greatest player the game
has ever produced, raised ructions in
the American baseball league last week.
The Detroit team with which he plays
was in New York when Cobb jumped in
to the grandstand and pummeled a spec
tator who had insulted him. The pres
ident Of the league promptly suspended
the star player pending an investiga-
tion. The other Detroit players, out OF
sympathy for Cobb, went on a strike
and refused to play on Saturday in Phil
adelphia. Manager Jennings of Detroit,
in order to save his club a $1,000 fine
under the rules of the league, put a
nondescript aggregation into the field
against the Philadelphia Athletics, sew
eral of the players being drafted from
among the spectators in the grandstand.
This team in Detroit uniforms was
beaten "a to in farcical exhibition.
The game scheduled at Philadelphia
Monday was cancelled on account Of the
strike, but late Monday the Detroit
players called off the strike and agreed
to play the following day in Washing
ton, on the ground that they did not
wish to see President Frank Navin of
the club suffer for any action on their
part Each of the Detroit players was
fined 800 for participating in the strike.
Cobb still remains under suspension and
his case will be settled later, probably
by the payment of a large fine before he
is reinstated. Cobb was guilty of row.
dyism and his course was wholly with
out justification. II he had complained
to the umpire the latter would have had
authority to eject the disturbing specta-
tor or to have had him arrested. Cobb
took baseball law into his own hands
and violated statute law as well in
committing an assault. 1t is fortunate for
the good Of the national game that Cobb
was severely disciplined and that the
president OF the league did not re-
treat from his position in the face
of the serious trouble which the up
rising of the Detroit players threat
ened,

Moore, a prominent vIIlisea business

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June TO-
More and more the belief is becom-
ing general among those in San An
tonic that have followed with care
the ups and downs of the various in
surgent movements in Mexico that
the star of President Madero is ris-
ing steadily. Zapata, in the south Of
the Mexican republic, is known to be
seeking terms which will enable him
to capitulate without loss of dignity,
and that it seems unlikely the terms
will be granted is merely another
proof Of Madero's confidence in his
ability to cope with the situation. In
northern Mexico, Orozco's followers
are reported dissatisfied because OF
postponed pay days, meagre rations
and repeated defeats, and many are
said to be deserting and returning to
their homes. Others of iis army have
split into small parties and are said
to be conducting a guerrilla warfare,
which is not pleasing to peaple liv'
ing in small and remote communities
or unprotected settlements.
Only a few weeks ago rumors OF
American intervention in Mexico
were numerous, but now it is not ev
en- discussed, and the possibility OF
American troops crossing the Rio
Grande seems very remote.

ly 10 be incorporated in the platforms
Of the both the republican and demo-
cratic parties demanding immediate
action on the federal government look
ing to the prevention of disastrous
foods and the reclamation of over
flowed and swamped lands under a
comprehensive plan. At meeting OF
the executive committee of the Nation
al Drainage Congress in Chicago,
June, 4, committees were appointed
to present the drainage plank to both
OF the big national conventions and
these committees have had encourage.
ment. The text OF the plank itself
was agreed upon as follows:
I'VE favor the reclamation of ths
vast swamp and overflow area in this
country and the appropriation of suf-
fcient funds to have made surveys
OF this hand, with outlined plans to
drain and protect this land to super
wise the work of construction"
Immediate action owing to the en-
ergency need was the keynote OF the
drainage mems discussions.
Within few days a bill will be
introduced in congress which has the
approval of the drainage congress, of
q practical and comprehensive plan
for earring out the drainage reclama-
tion work. The bill provides that all
moneys received from the sale and
disposal Of public lands in states Of
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, mississippi, Missouri, Ohio,
and Wisconsin since June 30, 1905,
amounting to about $5,00oO0O, be set
aside as a drainage fund to be used
for comprehensive survey for "the
construction, operation and mainten-
ance of works for protection, drain
age or reclamation" The secretary
of the interior is authorized by the
bill to begin work at once and begin
construction when prepared. Provi
sions are made for cooperation with
the War department in the case OF
drainage canals that may he used as
navigable waterways and provisions
are made for the utilization of water
power under long term leases.

HOTEL LEADS
Those OF new YORK

OTTAWA, Ont, June 10.-The
Chateau Laurier at Ottawa which
was opened as the first of the chain
Of hotels across the Dominion of Can
ada which tle Grand Trunk Pacific
is building is said to surpass in law
ish luxuriousness any hotel in New.
York, Boston, Philadelphia, or Chica-
go. Owing to the recent death Of
President Charles M. Hays of the
railway company, the opening was
without astentation. The cost of the
hotel was over $2,000,O00 and the
other hotels in the chain are planned
on similarly luxurious lines. The
first to sign the register of the Caa-
teau Laurier was former Premier of
Canada, Sir Wilfred Laurier An old
style of French architecture was fol-
lowed vita high gables and battle
ments of medieval times. The equip
ment, however, Is most modern in
cluding provision for washing the air
and for both filtering and sterilizing
the water. The new terminal of the
Grand Trunk Pacific also was opened.
It is connected with t1e hotel by a
brilliantly Illuminated subway. In
planning and furnishing these struc-
lures the purpose was to erect at the
national capital of Canada, which is
notable among all national capitals
for beauty Of it's government build
ings, lasting monuments to the thor
ougAness which has characterized
the construction of the third trans
continental system of Canada.
