Would Feed Starving Quail.

Exeter, Mo-, Feb. 10. Following
the heavy snowfall of last week,
which covers the Ozark country to a
depth of from six to twelve inches,
appeals are being sent out asking the
farmers to put out small grain on
their farms to save the quail.
1t is feared that if the cold weather
continues much longer many of the
coveys that were left at the close OF
the hunting season will die of starva-
ton and exposure.
The unusually small number of
quail last fall was due to starvation
during the heavy SHOWS of the pre-
viOus winter.
Quail in many Southern Missouri
counties are very scarce, and sports
men are urging every protection to
pull them through the nesting season.

Why we never been able to place
an income tax on the statute books,
is the question that naturally arises.
Here is the answer: High protec-
tionists have prevented the passage
of an income tax law, because. that
the more money the government col
lected from taxing incomes, the less
excuse there would be for a tariff
tax. To take protection away from
the tariff trusts is to interfere with
their monopolies. And how could
the tariff trusts gouge consumers
without having monopolies of Ameri-
can markets?
The Cotton Tariff Robberies.
The American people are paying
annually about $50, 600, 900 more for
their cotton goods than they ought
to pay, because of the Ubiquitous
Payne-Aldrich tariff law. The o3rd
Congress is preparing to Interfere
with this robbery. There will be
big downward revision on all kinds
of cotton goods.
The cotton schedule of the Payne
Aldrich law carries an average duty
of about SO per cent. This means
that every article of cotton cloth and
every piece of cotton yarn that comes
that comes through the custom house
has SO per cent. added to its foreign
price. And on cotton goods that
does not come through the custom
house, but is manufactured in this
country, the So per cent. is added
just the same by the home manufac-
turer.
When the tariff on cotton goods is
reduced one-t third or one-half of the
present rates, this article so much
used by women and children, may
be had at the price more nearly rep
resenting the actual value of the
goods.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Washington Correspond.
ent of The Times.
Bv CLYDE H. Tavenner.

Bv CLYDE H. Tavenner.
Washington, D. C.-Few persons
realize the far reaching importance
of the fact that the United States will
soon have an income tax on its sta
tutes.
First of all it means that million.
aires will, for the first time since
this nation has stood, bear fair pro-
eertien of the burden ef taxation.
It is estimated that one hundred
million dollars will be raised annual
ly by taxing incomes. This will
mean that the amount of taxation is
to be taken off of the things that the
people must have in order to live and
placed on wealth.
Under the system of protection as
played in this country, nearly every
penny of the money necessary to run
the government, maintain the army
and navy, construct public buildings
etc., is raised by taxing the things the
people eat, wearand use. The only
thing that protection does not tax is
wealth. A man with a fortune of ten
million dollars has not been required
to pay single penny of tax to the
national government. This seems
almost unbelievable, but it is true.
The man working on the section for
one dollar and fifty cents per day,
with family Of five children, is at
the present time actually contribut-
ing more to run the government than
the millionaire bachelor, too proud
to marry and raise Z family.

Starting the Coal Industry

Dunkerly & Sons Coal Mining Com
ppaaayy have leased SO acres Of coal land
of Jeff Herndon, east of Hume, and
according to the articles of the con.
tract, must have mine in operation by
July l. Work of putting down the
shaft will be started as soon as spring
opens up. Mr.. Dunkerly says that
the mine will employ seventy-five
men by next fall, and provision must
be made for them to live in town, as
the contract with Mr.. Herndon only
calls for the erection of head house
and only necessary buildings to op-
crate the coal.
This is not the only company that
will begin operating coal in this COM
munity this year. Several small OPP
orators are figuring on putting down
shafts next summer. A number of
the big concerns are negotiating with
our owners of coal lands for leases.
And If all plans carry, Hume will be-
come the center of a vast coal mining
district Telephone.

CATHOLIC j. WINS
TWO OUT OF THREE
Beats Catholic Club and Della
ware, But Loses to st.
Johns Quint on Trip.

The Catholic University basket ball
team returned yesterday at noon from
its invasion of New York in fair con-
dition. The three games which the team
played We're very hard and ii had
TO go the limit TO win the two out of the
three. Although the Delaware College
score stood 20 to Il in favor of the
Brooklanders, it by no means indicates
the kind of game played. 1t was not
until the last few minutes of play that
&C. L. was able to make the game safe At
the end of the first half il. indeed. look
ed as though the Newark boys would get
away with the contest. and in the second
half they made il exceedingly rough in
hopes of winning by these tactics.
The game of last Friday with the Cath
Olic Club ended with score of 20 to 2i
I'm favor of the Red and Black. This
team is composed of ex-cOllege players
and again the members of the c. L. team
had to extend themselves to win.
BY Saturday night when the team was
scheduled to go up against St. Johns, the
players were about all In, as the saying
goes On the way to the hall the team
lost its way and it was not until 10
O'Clock that they found the hall, and the
name started at 1890 At this time the
players were in no fit condition to start
a game against a team like st. Johns.
The hall in which the game was played
was very small and teamwork was of
no. use whatever. This was a great draw
-back to a great offensive team of the
Brooklanders' type. The hall was SO
small that the st. Johns players could
stand under c. US basket and cage a
ball in their own. The game. ended with
a. score of So to % in favor OF the ST.
JOHNS team.
The playing Of Horan and Donnelly on
the trip was OF high degree and we'll
worth comment Donnelly shot ten
baskets during the second game. Horan $
playing during the st. Johns contest was
great He was all over the floor. playing
both a great offensive and defensive
game
Coach Rice gave the men night of
last night, but will have them out again
tonight IN preparation for the game with
George Washington University Friday
night. The game is to be played at the
Arcade. Keegan, the star guard, is ex-
pected to be back at play Friday
night His presence on the team will
greatly strengthen its chances for a VIC
tory.

BY j. ED GRILLO.

There is some reason other than lack
OF ability for the asking of waivers by
the Boston club on Clyde Engel Ensel
proved himself most handy man for
the Red SoX last season. lie can fill in
in either the in or out field. and is not
poor hitter when played regularly.
There are several clubs in this league
who could make good use of Engel. and
no doubt one Of them Will refuse to waive
II may be that the Boston club figures
on using Henricsen as the utility out
fielder and Krug as the extra infelder. in
which event Engel could he spared. The
two players mentioned are real young
sters, and stand a chance 10 improve,
which would be figured an advantage.
Nowadays ball clubs do not carry play
ers who have been in the game a few
years unless they are stars. if a young
player OF ability is available. Young
sters have the call because they are not
only signed at a reasonable figure in most
cases. but they stand a chance to I'M
prove. and incidentally last longer once
they get to going.
II was supposed that when the National
League eliminated Horace Fogel that
base ball had beSI ridded of him for all
time TO come. 1t seeF>=. however that
Fogel intends to make more trouble. He
proposes to write a series of articles IN
which he promises to expose what he
terms crookedness. Just where Fogel
will find a medium for getting his stories
before the public remains to he seen. for
no man ever connected with the game in
any capacity stands more .diScredited
than the former head of the Philadelphia
club.
1t is. of course, hard to believe that
Fogel is backed by any one or any clique
of individuals identified with the game.
as is being insinuated. but il such should
be the case the powers that be should
leave nothing undone to bring forth the
facts and then make thorough clean
up of the undesirables now i'm the game.
For several years it was the general
impression that the only catcher who
could handle Ed Walshs spit ball de-
livery was Billy Sullivan. Any time one
of the other White Sox catchers was
. forced TO go behind the bat when Walsh
was on the rubber his chances for vic
tory were decreased. Barring accident
however, Sullivan will not handle Walsh
at any time during the coming season

waukee last fall. has betn assigned to do

TIGER NINE BEGINS WORK.
Thirty Eight Candidates Timber Up
in Base Ball Cage.

PRINCETON. N. T.. February %
Thirty EIGHT candidates for the Tiger
base ball team reported to Capt Worth
ington for the initial work Of the sea-
son here yesterday afternoon. The men
were put through a two-hOur drill in
Osborne cage by Coach w. J. Clarke,
who will have charge of the squad
throughout the season.
The work for the next two weeks will
be confined to the cage, and as the Tigers
start on their southern trip March IS it
does not seem probable that they will get
in more than one or two days of outdoor
practice before their opening game.
Clarke's hardest proposition will be to de-
velop battery pair to take the place OF
the Lear-Sterrett combination, which
worked In all Of the big games last year.
A shortstop to fill the vacancy caused by
the graduation of Sam White, second
baseman, and one outfielder also will
have to be developed.
