 The National league may take sim liar action, and if it does so, the day is coming when the McGraW- MathewsOn brand of fake will dis appear from the newspapers and baseball will be described by men who write the stuff they sign.
 Johnson's decision to put an end to the farcial syndicate system was reached after aIengthy correspond ence with the club owners in his organization, practically all of whom went on record as opposing the use of their players names by neWspa- pers.

INVENTOR OF CORN BROOM

Although It Is not generally

brooms, "the house broom, such as
the housewife uses. Is comparatively
recent invention, dating back to
1856. Before that time husk brooms
were used to sweep out the ovens and
splinter brooms, made of birch, were
used for everyday use. The present
broom industry might be said to have
had it's beginning in Connecticut In
1876, when Levi Dickinson, a native
of Weatherfeld, went to Hadley car
rying with him a new kind of corn
seed which he showed his friends, say
ing that when full grown 1t would
make better brooms than ever had
been made. The Hadley women
laughed at him, but despite this. Dick
inson was not discouraged, but har-
vested his first crop of broom corn.
managed to scrape the seed from the
brush with . knife and q hoo, after
which he made his brooms. He made
the complsts broom, including the
handles. and grew his own max for the
Irvine, the whole costing him little.
Believing that his neighbors would re-
fuse to buy the new kind of broom.
Dickinson In 1898 peddled his brooms
in Williamsburg, Ashfeld and Con-
way. The next year he carried them
to Pittsburg. The new brooms took.
for as soon as housewives found how
much better they were over the old
husk or birch broom they would buy
no other. Other men went into the
business and new industry was born
in Hadley. Dickinson lived until 1843,
long enough to see the Hadley or corn
broom in use all over the country,
and the same broom. with improve

AS the cold weather ap-

not forget:
That tuberculosis is a house

That tuberculosis is painful,

dangerous disease.
That tuberculosis is needless

That it thriyes on dirt, dark

That it dies Of cleanliness,

That is preys upon those

of nourishment and foul air,

That it is far easier, as we'll as

Bird Conservation

Probably in no other way could
Mrs.. Russell Sage have done so
much for the bird life of this
country as she has done by the
purchase of Marsh Island, IN
Louisiana, as refuge tor
migratory birds. In that great
tract of wood and swamp lard
they will feed and nest, and
freed from the attacks OF market
hunters, poachers and plume
gatherers, game birds song birds
alike can breed and recruit their
yearly dwindling numbers. There
will be difficulty, Of course, IN
mixing this a genuine refuge.
There will haye to be strict
patrol against poachers and mai
ket hunters, and perhaps 1t would
be well if this matter could be
put in the hands of the federal
government. But in any case
the establishment of the refuge
will be great thing tor the
birds and for the country-a
great thing as to sentiment and
a great thing practically-as the
ornithologists with their torml'
dable array of figures concerning
cutworms, grubs, locusts, ciinch
bags, weevils, gypsy moth and
similar pests destroyed by some
varieties of game and song BIRDS
can testify.
It was high time something
decisive of this nature should be
done to protect the migratory
feathered creatures. The beau-
titul wood duck is almost as
nearly extinct as the wild pigeon,
whose flights darkened the skies
of this state within the memory
of men now living. In western
states the prairie chicken IS 60
ing fast. Sportsmen who te"
years ago used to find quail anG
partridge in plenty in the north
now make yearly pilgrimages to
the more remote districts OIL
southern states for their favorite
shooting. Snipe and some of the
choicer varieties Of the duck
family yearly grow more scarce
Song birds even, though protect
ed iu most places by more rigor
on laws more vigorously enforo'
ed than those as to game birds
need better protection and a bet
t.r chance to breed unmolested.

WANT PENSIONS FOR
MEMBERS OF FORCE
Petition May Be Presented
to the City Council
Very Soon.

Richmond is as free from graft as
far as the police department is con-
cerned as any city in the country. This
statement concerning the strong arm
force was made this morning by police
officials when discussing a proposition
which may be submitted to the city
council petitioning 70, a pension for
policemen after they have spent a
specified number OF years on the force.
II is contended in official circles
that the guardians of the public peace
are so poorly paid that after they have
spent most of their life in the service
and are no longer competent TO serve
on the force. they are incompetent TO
serve in any other vocation In life. A
pension for them will be agitated. 1t
is believed.
According TO the oldest members OF
the force the Richmond police force
has always been free from graft So
stringently have officers refused graft
when il was offered that there are no
law violators who now attempt TO lure
them with filthy lucre.' he says.

NOT FOND

Kingdom of Belgium Bars
Fighting to Keep johnson
From Coming.
fNational News Association

BRUSSELS, Aug. Jack Johnson
may soon be without a country to
fight in. England does not want him.
He cannot return to America because
of the sentence for white slavery hang
ing over his head. France harbors him
but not enough to allow him to mix
with the guests in first class hotels.
Now Belgium has put the ban on him.
Following the announcement that
the champion was to give boxing ex-
hibitions in Belgium, the minister of
justice yesterday issued an order that
all boxing contests in the future
should be investigated. This move
was made to prevent taking in match
es. The hue and cry against John
sons exhibiting in Belgium became
so great, however, that the minister
of justice was forced to issue another
edict. Today he put the lid down on
all boxing. No further matches, wheth-
er between blacks or whites or mixed,
will be allowed to be staged in the
Kingdom.
