4 meeting of the Federal League
which is scheduled to take place in Chr
caso tomorrow will be watched with
great interest by organized base bali men.
The object OF this gathering IS to
establish the new league on a sound
basis. Every one OF the clubs has
promised to deposit s2o.oJO as guar
antee of good faith, also for the purpose
of inducing major league players TO jump
the reserve rule.
While the fund so established would
not be as much money as the avecage
ma jor league ball club has invested iii
stands. yet it would give the imp, ess:on
that the new league intends to put up
light. There is considerable doubt ex-
pressed by base ball men about the aDii
ty of the club owners in the new league
being able to put up the amount required,
and should the meeting tomorrow fail
in this respect the backbone of the move
ment would be broken.
Ball players will demand to see real
money before they will tie up with an
Organizat ton such the Federal League,
and the movement is almost certain to
be a failure if any excuse is given after
tomorrow S meeting why the deposit was
not made.
Ned Hanlon, for many years one of the
foremost base ball managers and leaders
is said to have identified himself with the
Baltimore Federal League c-ub. Hanlon
is one OF the directors OF the orSaniZa-
ton, but those who know lianlon well
are satisfied that he has not a cent IN
vested in the movement Hanlon is

servatism. He is a resident of Baltimore.

but as your editorial is calculated
unintentional I hope, to create !
a spirit of prejudice between The
citizens Of the East and West
end of the Sixth Ward, and in
justice to the twelve members of
the Police Jury who saw proper
to vote with me against Mr..
Gournay's ordinance, I deem it
proper that I should give my de
Tense for the action taken in the
defeat of the measure as much
publicity as was given by your
editorial in it's favor, hence / ask
that you grant me space that I
may submit to my good friends
of the West end of the Sixth
Ward my defense in the
premises.
Twelve or fifteen years ago
when I had the honor to be one
of the representatives of the
then Eight Ward. together with
my distinguished friends Alebe
Manuel and the late Judge Nc
Chez, the division line in the
center of the Mallet woods was
agreed upon and the member
from the East end Of the ward was
to have control of the roads up to
that division line and vice versa
for the member from the West
end, and the funds were divided
equally. My recollection is that
this arrangement gave each
member practically an equal
road milage, and everything
worked smoothly and harmon
iously. But since the division of
the parish, by which the West
end of the then Eight Ward had
quite a slice cut off of it, the di-
vision line in the Mallet woods is
by no manner of means a fair,
equitable or just division of the
ward or road milage. But on
the con srary the East end OF. the
Ward has by this division more
than twice the road milage.
This Mr.. Gournay admitted be-
fore the Police Jury. and il any
one doubts it I refer such a one
to the map of the parish, which
w. B. Robert is now making, on
which the wards and public roads
are outlined and milage is given.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you say, If
ever there was a rank and I'M

of this ward, are gull
ty," you have expressed in the
sentence the gist of my
argument for voting against Mr..
Gournay's ordinance, namely:
Unjust Discrimination against
the East end Of the Ward.
And it occurs to me that unless
I see through a glass, darkly,
all appearance of subtifuge, as
you charge, when based upon the
plea of the roads of the East end
easier to keep up than
of the West end. vanishes
as mist before the MONDAY sun.
And | think the present condi-
lions of the roads in the East
end of the ward would convince
you of the fallacy of this part Of
your argument. / thought that
the two members from the Sixth
Ward were elected 20
represent the Sixth Ward
as a whole, that is the way
commission reads, if / am not
mistaken, and hence the road
funds derived from the entire
ward are to be used on the en-
tire roads of the ward in proper
ton to the necessities Of the
regardless of which end
of the ward furnishes the most
and plan of segregating
road funds other than by wards,
unless it is based upon an
distribution of the
eyes and see what the result
would be, unless the road funds
in proportion to milage, is
bad precedent to establish,
which will cause the public roads

SAMUEL FINLEY BREEsE MORSE

An artist n portrait painter by pro-
fession. Morse became an inventor by
chance. A casual remark by a fellow
passenger on board ship when he was
returning from London in 1882 caused
him to a up the study of electricity.
That remark was: "Dr. Franklin's ex-
pertinent proved that electricity passes
instantaneously over a wire Of any
length" Before the voyage was COM
pleted, Morse had invented the Dot
alphabet. and had thought
out and planned essentially the electric
telegraph as it exists today.
But it was not until 1914 that the first
line was completed between Washington
and Baltimore. and the historic message
What hath God Wrought" was sent.
For years, he tried to interest Congress
in his project, then he visited England
and France hoping to interest the gov
ernments of these countries. but without
success. When he returned in 1889, he
wrote: 81 am without a farthing in my
pocket, n I'VE to borrow even for my
meals; and ever worse than this, I nave
Incurred a debt of rent by my absence"
But he continued to petition Congress,
and finally was rewarded for his persever-
ance by an appropriation of $50, 600 which
built the Washington Baltimore ines and

ANOTHER SIDE TO MATTER

There has been a good deal in the

for some weeks to the effect that you

wait to lay them on the coffin lid"
says Tom Thompson in the Howard
Courant. Ella Wheeler before she was
a Wilcox wrote a poem on that
theme; Chancellor Bradford at the
chautauqua dinged it into us, and
most of us have been affected by it.
But say. my brother-sister, have you
