Augusta, Ga, April l7.--"Mr. Navins
opening statement in which he says dis.
cipline and not money is the important

to queer his whole vicious attack upon

Outfelder Tyrus Cobb made this dec
laration last night in reply to state
ment by the president of the Detroit
American league team, yesterday. In
the written statement, Cobb terms as
final his answer regarding his differ
ences with the Detroit club. Cobb's
statement continues in part as follows:
ut seems that Navin has shifted
around in his position. For several
weeks past it has been matter OF
money, OF not being able to pay what
ask. All Navin has offered me. is a
contract calling for the same amount
received last year He has certainly
made me no other offers. In this con-
nection | wish to deny the statement
that ] am the best bah player in the
world"
In regard to his failure to report for
spring practice, Cobb says: "Navin told
me not to report for spring practice, as
| was holdout. Had / reported |
would have been required to pay all my

DAILY REFUSE COLLECTION.
Is Desired by Barre Merchants Who Con
ferred with Aldermen.

Representatives of the Barre Retail
Merchants association, the health de
partment and the fire department met
in conference at the council chamber last
evening with the aldermanic commit
tee of the whole. The subject under dis
cussion had to do with proposal where
by a system might be established fol
removing garbage and refuse from the
rear OF the stores in the business sec
tlon. The agitation was started by the
Merchants association and it was the
opinion of its members that the desire
ends would be obtained in more !
isfactory manner if the city were
supervise the system. The merchants
expect to carry the expense of the sys-
TEN, but it is believed that the city.s
interest in the matter would aid material
ly in its successful operation.
Among those who appeared in the in
terests of the association were NJ. 5.
Charles c. Kenyon and A. $. Martin,
Chief Gladdng and i. NJ. Robin, second
assistant engineer, represented the fire
department and Dr.. j. H. Woodruff APP
peared for the board of health. Most Of
the visitors. as well as the aldermen, eX-
pressed their views during the evening.
Alderman Patterson questioned whether
the city could legally 90 into the refuse
business and the question was
brought to the attention of the city at
torney. He will make an investigation
and render an opinion later.
The merchants thought the time had
come when the back door aecumulations
Df garbage and refuse should be removed
daily. They were willing to assume the
burden of expense but believed that the
,ity's official sanction and continued in
-erest in system would lend much
weight. The city attorneys opinion is
'xpeeted to be followed by more definite
letion.
