TRI-STATE men
in IMPORTANT
MEETING SOON

The meeting Of the Tri-State Lea
que magnates at Harrisburg on jan
uary 3. will settle some things
that seem to be worrying the fans
over the circuit these days. 1t has
settled, firstly, the meeting place.
Some days ago it was said that cities
were bidding for the meeting, but
Harrisburg seemed to suit the presi-
dent and he called the meeting for
here. despite the so-called claims Of
Allentown and other places. The
Columbus Hotel will be the meeting
place.
AGvices from Altoona, the presi-
dents home. bring the news that no
less person than the president HIM
self, has said that the league would
open with fairly bright prospects and
he anticipates that with d shorter Cir
cult will make a more successful sea-
son financially. and success financial
ly means succgss, for what other sue
cess is there IN baseball. The presl-
dent goes ON to say that the circuit
will be the same as at the finish last
year
II such is the case that settles some
other important things, namely that
one or two of the cities are on the
verge of dropping out because the
owners are not assured OF sufficient
patronage. Reading, Wilmington
Trenton and possibly one more are in
+ that class and it is well that the presi-
dent states that all viii be back again
The shorter circuit will. without a
doubt, save money. The trips to AL

of money that can be put TO better
use than carfare Hence the predic-
ton that a compact circuit viii work

doubt that the league will start mex
year with brighter prospects than last

ROAD REPORT
UP TO NEW COURT

This was the day set for the re-
turn of the commission appointed by
Resident Judge Herert L. Rice to
condemn the Philadelphia turnpike
and assess damages. When the time
came for the return TO be made
Phillip L. Garrett representing the
Levy Court asked for an extension of
time. While there has been no OBJ
jections by any one to the condem-
nation yet Il was deemed advisable
to let the new Levy Court decide as
to the purchase Of the turnpike. The
five and a half miles of pike can be
purchased for $4,000 and as Il
connects with the piece of improved
road from Claymont to the State line
the pike will be a very beneficial
highway. especially when no more
tolls are charged and the turnpike
becomes a free road.

OPPOSED TO THE REPEAL
OF THE SHERMAN LAW
Ciciy Federation Makes Public an
Analysis of Sixteen Thousand
Answers Received.
Associated Press Special.


New York, Jan. 31.-The Nation
al Civic Federation made public an
analysis of 10000 answers received
| by it to a series of questions con-
corning the Sherman law. The
analysis of the answers is summed
up by the federation as follows:
THE replies indicate little senti-
ment in favor of the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law On the
other hand it is shown that there Is
practically no desire to abolish large
com binations. The public have no
desire for government ownership,
on one side, or unrestricted and UNI
regulated private or corporate coli
troll on the other. They will accept
large combinations adequately regu-
lated"
The questions were sent to ed1-
tors, political economists, lawyers,
publicists, statisticians, manufactur-
ers, merchants, bankers and the
officers of commercial, labor and
|other organizations. AS an intro
ductory to the questions it was
pointed out that tthe Sherman Anti
Trust Act has now been Interpreted
by the Supreme Court to mean, as
to interstate commerce, thai any
combination in restraint of trade
with the purpose of controlling
prices and sitting competition is
unlawful"
Going into the detail regarding
the replies the Federation says;
Eighty-four per cent. of the an
swers pronounce the Sherman lew
neither clear nor workable, or work
able without being clear; but only
some twenty per cent. declare in
favor of its repeal. OF these latter
The larger number add that If not
repealed, it should be amended etc.
substantially, the usual phraseol-
'gy of suggestions for amending the
Sherman law make it so that
business men can understand it.
