COMPROMISE SEEMS TO

FROM TIGERS THREATS

Allow His Dignity
To Be Hurt
TIGER OWNERS HARD HIT
While Theirs Is Not the Fault At
All, They Stand Most
Punishment
TIGER OWNERS HARD HI
BY RALPH L. YONKER.

Some sort OF compromise seems 10
be about the only thing that caa re-
suit from the Tigers declaration that
they will not play until Cobb is rein
stated That is, that is the only re-
suit that locks possible from the con-
fiict between the Tigers who threaten
TO strike and Ban Johnson, president
OF the American league.
The Tigers are too much in earnest
they have too much OF the right
with them in the eyes OF the general
public--to allow Johnson TO force
them into submission. Furthermore,
they are too closely organized 10 be
frightened into returning.
With the name OF every Tiger at
tached TO the telegram sent Johnson
informing him that II Cobb were not
reinstated, they would not pla" to-
day or any other day until he was
restored to good standing. there can
be no backing down. Everybody knows
who is in on the affair-the man VINO
welches will have a hard row TO roe.
The fact that all the teams in the
American league are apparently with
the Tigers and that they threaten TO
get together on their off-day tomorrow
will also help to strengthen the force
OF the Tigers demands.
On the other hand. Ban Johnson has
shown that he Is leader not to be
trifled with. He has shown that he
is very wise and shrewd In handling
ticklish situations and getting oul of
them so that he appears to be on top
of the heap.
II he is forced to accede to the
Tigers demands now, 1t will be
the first time he has had TO suffer
such humiliation.
No doubt Johnson realizes that the
affair is serious, and that IL demands
an immediate settlement. He is no
doubt ready to patch things up SO
that the Tigers will play II there be
any possible way TO do SO. and retain
his dignity. N
Now Hughie Jennings has wired his
explanation OF the Cobb incident to
Ban. This is an excellent peg on
which to hang a reasonable excuse
for a compromise.
Ban didn't understand the situation
clearly until Manager Jennings clear
ed II UP. He thought this and that
and the other thing until Hughes ex-
PLANTATION arrived. Oh, yes, that
changed matters.
AS far as Cobb and the players are
concerned Piffie, Ban wouldn't pay
any attention to them. He wou!tn't
deign to listen TO Cobb. But this ex-
PLANTATION of Hughie-yes, Cobb can
play, IL he never does anything like
assaulting a spectator again.
II looks as II Ban would like some
thing to hang a compromise on. This
explanation OF Jennings Is such peg
and it may be that Johnson will rake
advantage of II. allowing Cobb to go
back into the game, with some pro
vision that will hold up Bans end OF
the dignity.

In this Cobb affair. the men who
are likely to be hit the hardest, are
the owners Of the Tigers who are not
at fault at all In the matter.
II the Tigers refuse to play and
Hughie Jennings can get no players
to take their places, the Tiger man
agement must forfeit $1,000 day or
give up the franchise in the league.
Besides the loss from the forfeiture,
there is the loss of receipts from the
games.
President Navin Is thoroughly in
sympathy with the Tigers, but as a
matter OF business, must prepare to
put another team on the field II the
Tiger strike situation develops into
walk-out In case he did put new
men in Tiger uniforms, 1t would be
only temporarily, until the differences
between Cobb's associates and John
sen could be patched up.

no appeal from the action of the board of revenue of Jefferson county in matters of tax assessments, 1t would not be better to allow the state commission to make all raises in Jefferson county rather than the county tax commissioner. It is believed that this plan is approved by members of the state tax commission, as 1t Is gener- ally understood that 1t would result in saving to the state of something like S3O,000 or $40,0O0
 It Is expected that the raises in Jeffer- son county this year will be considerable, enough to allow the county tax commis- sion a princely salary if they are all left fin his hands. Those who are acquainted with the situation, though not in direct touch with the matters under consider alton by the governor and the members of the state tax commission, contend that the state should realize this enormous profit rather than the county tax commissioner, as that official Is able to realize a neat sum from his commission on escapes and delinquent taxes.
 J. V. Allen, county tax commissioner of Jenerson county, was in conference with the governor and members of the state tax commission on yesterday. and while nothing of a definite nature was given out 1t is understood that these matters were considered at the meeting. Cover nor O'Neal declared this afternoon that there was no controversy between MT. Allen and the members of the state tax commission and that only matters are being considered which will result to the good of the state
 The governor will probably make some announcement within the next day or two relative to the situation and it is expected that his conclusion in the matter will be if general interest.

Guards Patrol Levee

Hickman, Ky, March 29.-Armed guaros are patrolling the levee here tonight 10 prevent any attempt to cut 1t and all available men in town are engaged In an all night task of strengthening weak places in the barrier against the flood waters of the Mississippi. Levee tracks of the railroa dhave been abandoned.
 A disagreement arose today over a sug- gestion that the levee be cut at the lower end of town to permit the surplus water to flow off gradually. This was urged as a means of protecting the main part of town and vigorously opposed by factory owners and residents of that section, who said their property would be inundated The levee board refused permission and guards were stationed to enforce the order.
 Twenty miles below Hickman water is flowing over the levee and forming a lake many miles in extent
 News of the first drowning in the flood in this vicinity reached Hickman tonight. While a family was being moved from their home in a row boat the mother dropped her infant in the water. The body was found lodged against fence.

Took the Court at Its Word

From The New York Sun.
 Col. Winter Wimberly, of Macon. Ga. enjoys a wide reputation as story teller in Georgia, that land of story tellers, says the New York Sun.
 Col. Wimberly was once engaged in a cose in which the plaintiffs son, lad of eight years, was to appear as a witness.
 When the youngster entered the box he wore shoes several sizes too large, hat that almost hid his face, long trousers rolled up so that the baggy knees were at his ankles, and to complete the pie ture, a swallow tail coat that .had to be held to keep it from sweeping the floor.
 This ludicrous picture made the judge laugh. and he asked the boy his reason for appearing in such clothes.
 With wondering look, the lad fished in an inner pocket and hauled the summons from it. pointing out a sentence with sOl- emn mien as he did so. ''To appear in his fathers suit it read.
