Milwaukee Pays Big Fee.

HELENA, Dec. 26.-When the Chi.
csgo, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
company paid to Secretary Of State
T. M. Swindlehurst today the largest
filing fee iu thelhistory of.the secretary
OF states Office, it accompanied the
check with q protest, and notice OF its
intention to attack ss unconstitutional
the Montana statute under which the
fee was collected.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
recently took over the property of the
Puget Sound, increased its own capital
stock of 1922, 623, 100 to take care OF
the absorption, and then prepared to
file its articles Of incorporation 10 this
state. The fling fee. under the
statutes, is based on q gradua ted scale,
amounting In the case OF the ST. Paul
to s23, 452 81.
The protest AYERS that section l65
of the Revised Codes IL in conflict
with the commerce clause of the federal
constitution, because the fees for filing
therein prescribe are based on the
entire capital stock; that the fee il
calculated and determined upon the
basis OF all Of the protestant's prop
erty and its business lin other states,
Is q burden upon such other property
and therefore provides for the taking

JACKETS LINE
ROUNDING INTO
GREAT SHAPE
Players Show Much Improvement
Under Coach Devore's Tute-
|age- Preas Is Star Tackle.

~ ECH'S line has improved Won
derfully in defense and Of
Tense since Assistant Coach
Devore has taken charge of the
boys. The players are rounding into
great form for the Sewanec game
Saturday.
Preas, who has been shifted to
tackle, seems to have found his place
at last, and is leading all his team
mates in the daily workouts. He is
showing great ability in breaking
through the line and stopping plays
before they get started.
Since Talley Johnson has dislo-
Gated his shoulder, Beard is being
used at end, and Cook is hacking up
the line in Johnson's place.
Beard is one of the best men for
breaking interference that Coach De
wore has had for some time. He is
not as fast nor as fierce q tackler as
Johnson, but he promises to hold
down the end position in pretty good
style. He is about feet ! inch tall
and weighs 164 pounds.
The Atlanta football fans will get
to see some real new football Satur-
day as Tech and Sewanee are about
evenly matched. Both teams will
have to open up on all-of their plays
if they expectlto win the game
The Sewanee line will outweigh
Techs line a few pounds, but it will
remain to be seen whether they can
outcharge the Yellow Jackets.
The students are having spirit"
meetings every afternoon and are
trying to put some pepper into the
players by showing their enthusiasm.

GRIND TO-DAY
Cunningham's Men to Keep Close
Watch on TayIoe, North Caro-
Iina's Star End.

a THENS, GA" Oct. S1.-This
~ afternoon will close a week of
hard work on the part of the
University Of Georgia football team
in preparation for the battle against
the University of North Carolina on
the local field tomorrow. This is
the last game Of the year in Athens
and really the only big noise of the
season locally.
What kind of a team the Tarheels
have and what will be their system
of attack is unknown to the Georgia
coaches. They have neglected to
send a scout into the enemy's terri
tory for any of the games this sea-
son and about all the information at
hand is the announcement which
comes generally from the Old North
State that the Eastern style of play
will be put into use. Whether Dog
gle" Trenchard and Tolbert Pendle-
ton can prove themselves better
teachers of football than the South
ern coaches, Cunningham and ke
iron, remains to be seen.
Much Expected of TayIoe.
North Carolina is coming with no
boasted stars of the McWhorter type,
but in Tayloe they have an end run

ranks with any in the South. His
work in the game against V. p. l.
was the sensation of the afternoon
and Georgia's ends have been coached
to LAY" for him. However. it's a
well rounded team that the Red and
Black has to face and slump from
last weeks hard battle is liable to put
crimp in the chances Of the
Athenians.
From Cunningham lineups every
afternoon it is hard to determine
what men he will use in this game,
but. at any rate, he will have an
available substitute for all the posi-
lions.
Probable Lineup.
He will probably line UP for the
kickoff with the following players:
Georgia ends, Conkiin, Logan,
tackles, Malone, Turner; guards,
Thrash, Conyers: center, Delaper-
riere: halves, McWhorter,, Thompson;
full. Powell; quarter, Paddock.
on the opponents lineup will be

THESE are rather dull days in
baseball The White SoN and
the Giants, or at least couple
of ball clubs, masqueraGing under
those monickers. are touring the en-
tire world, but haven't got out cf
the United States and civilizati to
date. And that is about all that IS
doing just now.
So we have TO pick here and there
for the winter gossip, and not all Of
it can apply to our own good little
league. For Billy Smith is away,
taking a rest at his home in Spring
field, Ohio, while he waits for the
big meeting of the minor leagues in
Columbus.
That will be November 15-and
that is pretty nearly the next mile
stone in our little baseball trail
The footballers seem to have the
floor.
9 TILL. we note some points of in
~ terest In the Grandoldope.
Here is funny point about first
base managers. for instance, com
piled by an enterpTising writer Lf
the statistical order,
First base managers of ball clubs
don't seem to have much luck 1t
is beginning to look as If the man
ager had better play second base,
like j. E,vers, or the bench, like c.
McGillicuddy.
For here is Frank Chance, to be-
gin with. summary canned from the
management of the Cubs last year,
for no apparent reason than that he
No. ,1rr Ax f@y hi p
boss.
Then George Stovall, more or less
politely removed from the Browns,
which isn't such an awful fate, AT
that.
But Jake Stahl, now, is different.
Jake had won pennant and Il
worlds championship. and it did 10 1,S
rather odd to see him on the skids
the very next year.
But the ways Of owners arc
strange, not to say devious. And
there was Harry Davis, who left
Connie Macks first base to manage
the Maps, and was fired for his pains
in the middle Of the season.
We will close with Hal Chase, who
looked after the luckless Yanks until
their career became diabol.cal joy
ride, when he was superseded and
was darned glad OF it. Now. MT.
Chance has the job, and we doubt If
he is eYulting.
It is sort OF funny, isn't IT.
y Ut why? &c.
ID one characteristic OF all these
men is that they every one were
star players Some Of them are now.
Moreover, the first baseman proba-
bly, occupies the best position from
" hich to direct a ball club in the
field; to signal his men, and to watch
The movements of opposing players.
He can tell how the pitcher is work
ing. And another point-he is OF ne
cessity right on top OF most Of the
close decisions, and is in the way Of
making a protest to the umpire, Il
he deems it necessary, without seem
ing to be officious.
And yet the place seems to be I
GOodoO.
TT may be a matter Of luck and
don't you forget that most ball
players believe pretty soiidly in luck

and its influence good or bad.
Or in two of the instances, it may
have been due to injury. Hal Chase
was beaned a couple of times and
lost his grip for a while, and Stahl,
spiked in one foot, was crippled 50
badly that he could not play for a
long time. In both cases the club
owners wanted playing managers

HICHWAYMEN, IN
TRAP, FIGHT, AND
z ARE WOUNDED

New York, Jan. IA squad Of de-
tectives baited a trap for highwaymen
today with a 60-year-old bank messen-
ger named Peter E. Plunkett and a
satchel containing $1,000. The high
waymen, two in number, took the bait.
One detective was shot and may die;
the messenger was beaten senseless
and probably has a fractured skull,
and pitched battle peppering houses
like hail was fought on the east side.
One of the highwaymen escaped. The
other, Frank Moran, 19, was captured.
Plunkett left the bank with satchel
and a cloud of detectives, disguised as
laborers, trailing him. AS Plunkett
stepped into a darkened hallway of a
factory to leave the money for the
weekly payroll, two men sprang up
from nowhere beside him. One of
them knocked him senseless before he
could cry out. The other grabbed the
satchel and both darted away. Detec-
tives blazed away with pistols at the
fleeing highwaymen. One thief fired
as he fed and kept the pack at his
heels. He darted down a side street,
into a hallway, out of a back door,
over a fence, back into the street and
disappeared, leaving behind bullet
pierced overcoat The satchel, drop
ped in the fight, was found intact.

LEPERS SHOT IN
PIT And BURNED

Shanghai; Jan. 11-Thirty-n lep-
ers were put to death recently in an
atTocious manner by order of the pro-
vincial authorities of Manning, prov
.nce of Kwang-Si.
Letters from the Catholic mission
at Manning say the missionaries
sought permission to build a lazaretto
for the lepers, who lived in the woods
near town. The authorities, pretend
ing TO consent, dug pit in which was
placed wood-soaked kerosene. At the
point of the bayonet the lepers were
driven into the pit and shot and the
pyre lighted.
Afterward the authorities offered re-
wards for other lepers. This resulted
in the shooting OF one more man af-
ficted with the disease.
The governor tried TO justify the Of
fetal action by proclaiming that the
lepers had been guilty of lawbreaking
but the mission denies the charge.

oimally committed toNa private sani-
tarium in Yonkers Big Tim" rs he

tarium several months recuperating,
it is said, from a nervous breakdown.
The court action seems to involve the
probability of a special election for a
congressman to succeed Sullivan in
the Thirteenth district One OF the
most popular features of Sulliyan's
career has been the charity work
which he conducted on the east side.
Every Christmas he distributed thous-
ards Of pairs of shoes and other sub
stantial gifts, as well as spreading a
great dinner for the poor.

dinner tonight he will make the prin-

He may be asked to use his influ-
ence in breaking the deadlock in the
Illinois legislature over the election Of
a speaker. Leaders Of the different
factions of democrats admitted that if
the president-elect woyid speak on the
subject his words would have great
weight with members of the Illinois
general assembly in the present crisis
Unless Wilson consents TO act in the
interest Of peace. leaders fear the
deadlock will continue indefinitely
Leaders of the two warning factions
were busy throughout the morning dis
cussing the situation and considering
plans TO bring the question to the at
tention of Wilson.

CHANCE FOR TICE TO WIN.
A possible solution of the difficulty
is the election of Tice, who has had
the 80 republican votes throughout the
deadlock. The republicans are making
no trades involving Tice's election, as
their only desire is the election oi
Sherman as senator. The theory Of
TIE possible election of Tice is baseC
or the supposition tha< q democrats
desiring to break the deadlock, may
eventually go to Tice without a bar
gain of any kind All factions anC
parties then would take their chance!
on the election of the two senators.
In view of the fact that Tice ha!
twice as many votes as any other can
dldate it would be easier for him t
pick up q scattering votes than fo
anyone else to do so.
break of this sort might b'
brought about partly by the anxiety o
some of the members to draw their sal
aries to meet hotel bills. Members ar
permitted to draw the entire amount 0
their $4,000 salary at the start OF tn
session. They cannot get a cent anti
a speaker is elected.
