Moguls Wise to Recognize Fultz
Brotherhood Lesson for Owners

jeopardize their present positions as
players / should think not, but as long
as they have chosen President Fultz
as their leader and spokesman and
have shown that confidence in him, 1t
would seem to me to be very foolish
for the magnates not to recognize him
and to listen to his arguments with
utmost courtesy and attention.
Commission Is Friendly.
And again il 1t is as published that
certain players have fears of losing
their jobs by reason OF being too
prominent in this crusade am of the
opinion they wofully misunderstood
the members OF the National Com
mission
Chairman Garry Hermann. Of the
commission ha- frequently told me
that he is DESTROYS of having players
come to him and talk over any griev-
ances they may have. He wants TO
have heart to- heart TALKS with them,
so that a closer, better and more
friendly understanding can be had be-
tween the players and magnates.
There is no more approachable man
than Garry Hermann. nor one who
has the best interests of the players
more at heart.
President Fultz says some OF the
itlOl MS Nlltl no anu lllt payers al
vocate may appear too drastic, but
that he has worked conscientiously to
assist the players in their demands
and will not be unreasonable. He Is
willing to listen TO arguments and is
open to conviction; but he also de
sires, as Is perfectly natural, to intro
duce some arguments of his own, and
the National Commission will, with
out doubt, on sober second thought
and Influenced doubtless by Ban
Johnson's statement that he sees no
objection to the commissions receiv-
Ing President F'ultz as the Players
Fraternitys authorized representa-
tive, receive the players demands at
the hands of President Fultz in due
and proper form.
There is no doubt that several OF
the demands will be turned down, ow-
ing to the complications they would
incur II granted, and constitutional
changes that would be necessary: but
| will predict that the Baseball Play
ers' Fraternity, President Fultz and
the msgnates will be eminently salts
| fed with the outcome Of the meeting.
II will result in the employers and
employed becoming much better ac-
| quainted a more friendly feeling es-
| tablished, and end in a love feast

The point is. Hermann owns the

the case in his own favor. The Com

THIS isn't by way of saying the

TT ERES funny thing coming up
I'll in National League politics:
It seems that Garry Herr
mann, official goat getter of the Big
Show, is about to lose some of his col
lection.
Garry went to work and got sore
on Tom Lynch, and had another guy
all picked out to succeed Tommy next
year as president o. the league.
And now it appears Tommy isn't
going to be succeeded.
Tommy, it seems, went to work and
solidifed himself with the faculty,
and, being four square kind of a
chap, he stands pretty well with the
rest of the works, too.
And now Tommy is in a position to
do a bit of dictat ting, or rumor is away
off
NJ OW, whether Tommy's reciprocal
~ affection for Garry will lead him
to try to chop Garry's head off, is
quite another thing. There is no doubt
that a good many of the faculty don't
care for Mr.. Hermann. Some Of
them are unreserved in stating that
they think another guy would look
better in Garrys place on the Ma
tional Commission. They don't even
specify what guy.
ONE of the things that Tommy is
~ going to do, however is to stick
out for q three-year term for his next
contract, or maybe even five years.
That would be a whale of pro-
gressive step for the National League
to take, all right. 1t would nail a lot
of peanut politics and put the old cir

BEGIN TESTIMONY
IN STUDENTS TRIAL

Hillsboro, n. c., March 14.-Taking OF
testimony was concluded and argument
of counsel begun here today in the trial
of Ralph w. Oldham, Aubrey c. Hatch
and William Merriman, University of
North Carolina students, charged with
manslaughter in connection with the death
during hazing escapade of Isaac Rand,
another student. Charges against Arthur
Stryon, jointly indicted with the other
defendants, were dismissed today. This
action was taken by the jury at the in
struction of the court, who held the evil
dence against Stryon was insufficient.
Only 10 of the % witnesses for the
prosecution had been introduced today
when counsel unexpectedly announced that
the case was rested. Another surprise
came a few minutes later when the de-
fense rested without the Introduction of
single witness.
In argument today counsel Tor the pros
ecution contended that the defendants
were guilty of manslaughter in that they
forced Rand, against his will, to the place
where he met death.
Counsel for the defense asserted that
Rand's death was purely accidental.
The case probably will go to the Jury
tomorrow. Solicitor S. NJ. Gattis, will
conclude the argument for the prosecu-
ton and Victor S. Bryan of Durham for
the defense.

Salem, ILL.,, March 14.-State troops were
sent to Salem tonight by Governor Dunno
to aid in quelling a mob that surrounded
the jail and threatened to lynch Frank
Sullens, white, who is held on a charge
of attacking Dorothy Holt. IA years old
daughter of Judge Charles Holt. The
angry citizens became so insistent IN
their demands for possession of the pris-
oners that Sheriff Purcell telegraphed for
militia and Adjutant General Dickinson
and a company of soldiers were sent or
a special train.
When news came that the troops were
on the way the mob dispersed but soon
gathered again.
After the sheriff and his deputies had
made repeated efforts to drive away the
crowd, many went home, but more than
200 men, who declared they would hang
the prisoner, filled the streets with angry
shouts, surrounding the jail several times,
only to be driven back by the sheriff S
force.
To aid in preserving order, all the
preachers and aldermen, and several
members, seized all the whisky and beer
they could find and poured it into the

DENIES REPORT Of
CONVICT INCREASE
Gibson Says He Is Sure Fig
ures on Upkeep Are Not
$40 a Month

The report that has reached BirminC-
ham to the effect that Examiner III.
Y. Brooke had officially informed the
governor that the upkeep of convicts
at Banner mine has increased under
the present administration from $40
s12 to about $40 per man a month, was
denied in Birmingham yesterday by W.
Asa Gibson, superintendent of convicts
of the Pratt Consolidated company
There is nothing in the rumor,'
stated Mr.. Gibson. that the cost of
upkeep has increased to such a great
extent. OF course, I haven't seen, a
copy of Mr.. Brooke's report. But !
feel certain that his report does not
s2o."
The rumor concerning the report was
also to the effect that the contract with
the Pratt company has not proved as
advantageous as the contract former
ly had by the state with the Ten
nessee company. AS is remembered
there was certain disinclination on the
part of the governor to approve the
contract with the Pratt company, and
he did not do SO until the owners OF
the company had executed bond guar
anteeing that the state would net as
large a return as was netted with the
Tennessee company. Until this latest
rumor came it was generally under
stood that the Pratt contract had
netted the state more money than the
Tennessee contract had done. The pub
lication of the Brooke report is await
ed with a great deal of interest.
Mr.. Gibson expressed the deepest re-
gret that Theodore Lacy, chief clerk
of the convict department, had de-
faulted with $150,000
James G. Oakley he said, "has my
deepest sympathy. He is one of the best
fellows in the world. and one of the

WILL GROW ALFALFA ON
LARGE SCALE IN GREENE

terested in lands near the large tract Just
purchased by Mr.. Haggin.
There are only two alfalfa belts in the
south, 1t is said. One of them is in
Texas and the other begins in east Mis-
sissippi and extends through the central
part of Alabama. The fact that SO prom
inent capitalist and stock raiser as Mr.
Haggin is to cultivate alfalfa in this state
has naturally aroused much interest here.
abouts Former United States Internal
Revenue Collector j. o. Thompson of the
Chamber of Commerce farm committee
said last night that Mr.. Haggin's pur.
chase in Greene county would be an adj
vertisement for Alabama of far reaching
value.
Mr.. Haggin lives in New York city. He
is a native of Kentucky, but practfced
law in his young manhod at Natchez
Miss. He was one of the forty miners
in California and made fortune in gold
mining. He is--now rated as one of the
wealthiest men in New York.

MAY WIPE OUT THE

CITY DEPARTMENTS
Morris Cook Tells How
Scientific Management
Succeeds i'm Running
City Affairs

Chicago, March 14--Inefficency in city
departments of Chicago or any other city
can be wiped out, costly mistakes avert
ed, slovenly management remedied and
above ALL plans eliminated by the scen-
tif1c management in the city hall, accord
ing to Morris L. Cook, director of public
works of Philadelphia, the first city in
the nation to test the usefulness of the
system in municipal affairs.
Mr.. Cook held out this hope today in
an address before the Western Economic
society, which met for two days discus
sion of scientific management.
Speaking from. experience, Mr.. Cook
said scientific management If applied to
Chicago would bring about the following
results:
Eliminate politics from the routine busi-
ness of the city.
Double the efficiency of the fire and po-
lice departments, the board of public
works and the clerical employees.
Cause employees to feel sure of their
Jobs as long as they prove capable of
holding them.
Make employees realize that promotion Is
possible, and that they will be given the
first chance when higher position be-
comes vacant.
Eliminate Politics
When first went to work under Mayor
Bankenburg to introduce scientific man.
agement In the city hall the politicians
said he would fall. said Mr.. Cook. In
spite Of that l had no trouble. 1 don't
deal with politicians. Today the men are
better satisfied, doing better work and
are looking forward for promotion.
'The board OF public works should be as
close to the people as the fire and police
departments. 1 told our employees that II
was up to them to make the board of pub
lie works as important as the other de-
partments. They have done it,,
Whenever there is vacancy we take
the name of the man who stands first
with the civil service commission. In the
case of examination for better positions
We let our employees take them. We look
after every employe individually.
Maximum Productiveness
I'm establishment of scientific manage
ment 1t is futile to consider dividends as
the object. We stand for high wages and
low labor cost and maximum produc-
tiveness for all.
''One-haf the brains of the world are
in the labering classes, and yet, accord
ing to Marshall, of this great part is
fruitless for want of opportunity.
Scientific management mar be defined
as first a definite working policy ap-
plicable wherever human efforts are put
forth; second, the introduction of lab
oratory methods into every day affairs
third, the acceptance of dictates of science
in the place of personal opinion and ira
dition. 1t is filing. not bridging, the
chasm between capital and labor"
