Manager John Camel, Of the Rochester
club, Is willing to dispose OF Dolly Gray
to a Pacific Coast League IN order to
glke Len Stanley, Washington boy, a
chance TO make good. according to the
following dispatch from Rochester last
night:
Camel to-day openly discussed the diff
ferences which exist between one OF the
players now owned by the club and the
local management. In all probability he
would have kept his usual silence over
the actions OF this ''hold-out" but for the
fact that there appears to be very little
chance of Dolly Gray ever coming to
terms with the Rochester club.
Dolly Gray was procured from Wash
ington in part payment for the services
OF Moeller, Spencer. and Foster, who
were sold to Washington last fall Gray
hasn't come TO the terms Of the local
club, and because Of his unreasonable
demands, the Rochester club has asked
for waivers on his services in the Inter
national League, with the intention OF
selling him to a club in the Pacific Coast
League. Manager Camel has already
opened negotiations with a Pacific Coast
League club, and hopes to sell the south
paw twirler within the next ten days.
"Gray's home is In California said
Manager Camel, 'and he says he will
stay there unless the Rochester club
agrees to his demands. We sent Gray
contract. the same as we did to all the
players. The salary clause in the con-
tract sent to Gray called for q slight
cut in the salary which washington paid
him, which was good one, and out Of
all proportion to what an International
club can afford to pay.
Gray returned the contract and de-
manded that he be given the same sal
ary as was paid him by Washington. and
in addition asked us TO pay his trans
portation from California and guarantee
to allow his return transportation at the
close of the season. Otherwise he said
he would not sign and would remain in
California
.Tn view OF Gray's demands, I have
reached the conclusion that he does not
wapt to play in the East, and have noti-
fed him that II he can find a club on the
Pacific Coast that will pay for his re-
lease We WIZ sell his release to that
club, OF IL he cares TO buy his release
himself VIC viii be agreeable. Otherwise
Gray must com- to our terms o. run
his chances OF being suspended from
organized baseball.
1T was the action of Gray that led
tine local club to buy Stanley from the
Fhillies' We have fine reports about
Stanley. and expect he will be able TO
make the stan as a regular. But II he
shouldn't. we shall try to weather along
without left-hsnder.@

becomes a serious question, and
somebody has got to account Ior it,
and the responsibility has been laid
on your Uncle Ellis shoulders,
Now cross-eyed man can see

A MUzzLE FAMINE
HAS Been LIFTED
New Supply Received in the
County and Quarantine
Can Be Maintained.

With the receipt of new supply OF
sections of Wayne county. County
Health Commissioner ]. E. King re-
ports this morning that the sixty day
quarantine ban on dogs is being uni
versally observed
County officials We're quite puzzled
over the situation resulting from the
muzzling order after it had been is
sued. The sheriff and his deputies
were ready to start on campaign to
kill off all the unmuzzled dogs, but
postponed this action when they found
that the rabies epidemic raging
throughout the state had completely
exhausted the supply of muzzles.
Manufacturers reported that never be-
fore had the demand for muZzles been
SO great as at present. and that they
were unable tC make the wire devices
as rapidly as the demand warranted
1t was feared for a short time that
to suspend the quarantine, but with
the arrival of a new supply the coun-
ty officials are again preparing to
shoot unmuzzled dogs, and prosecute
their owners in court.
A trip through the western part Of
the county yesterday afternoon
showed Dr. King that his order is be-
ing we'll observed in that community.
1t is understood that residents else
where in Wayne county are also clap
ping muzzles on their CANNES.
A report from the state bacteriolog-
ical laboratory yesterday stated con.
clusively that Gus Fryar's dog. which
bit little Jane Hawekotte some time
ago, was Enthusiastically infected with
rabies.

ASSESSORS TO-DAY
HOLO CONFERENCE
Effort to Reduce Rate on
Personal Farm Proper
ty Was Defeated.

The attempt to lower the rate Of as-
sessment on personal. farm property
by assessors who own such property
featured the session Of the township
assessors and their deputies when they
met this morning at the office Of Coun-
ty Assessor William Matthews for the
purpose OF adopting rates for assess-
ment on personal property and chat
tells. In some cases these efforts were
defeated. An effort was also made to
increase the rates on typewriters. ad-
ding machines, cash registers, pianos,
organs and automobiles, but after q
great deal of discussion the rates were
fixed at about the same as last year.
Prior to the discussion upon the
rates for assessment, County Auditor
Bowman urged the assessors to watch
their work carefully in order to avoid
mistakes. He said that a number of
errors occurred last year, although
there were not as many as in previ-
Gus years. Auditor Bowman instruct
ed the assessors in indexing the
books properly, and to assess all addl-
tional improvements which have been
made to real estate since last years
assessment. He also said that bank
statements should be given out
promptly as they are due at the audi
tors office by March 25.
Auditor Bowman stated that the as
SCISSORS should make a diligent search
for all notes. He said that notes
would be assessed at their real value
instead Of three-fourths value, as has
been done in previous assessments.
The question arose as to whether q
steam heating plant installed in a
be considered as an additional i'm.
provement. 1t was decided that it
should be so considered.
Although a law passed In 1852 by
the state legislature, and which re
mains unrepealed upon the state
statutes says that members of fire de.
partments shall be exempt from taxa
ton, the assessors today decided that
since the law was enacted for the
purpose Of encouraging volunteer fire.
men it should not be enforced any
longer.
The assessors started on their work
Immediately following the close OF the
meeting. Another meeting will be
held one week from Saturday for the
purpose of receiving further instruc.
tions and discussing points which may
arise. Meetings probably will be held
from time to time during the seventy.
five days assessing.
