BOSS.

Chicago, Jan. S.-Friends of Frank
L. Chance today were inclined to the
opinion that he would affix his name to
Q contract to become manager of the
New York American league baseball
team before night. He was scheduled
to meet Frank Farrell owner OF the
New Yorks and renew negotiations be.
fore noon today. Farrell appeared
confident that he would land the for
mer leader of the Chicago Nationals az
his new manager although he declined
to state what terms had been ofiered
the Californian.
The reports are the salary offered
Chance ranged from $4,000 to $4,000
a year with Ave per cent Of tho clubs
net earnings, One authority thought
that Chance also would be q share
holder In the club If he signed.
When Chance arrived from his ranch
in California yesterday he said that
he had decided to retire from base
ball for at least year but after three
hours talk with Farrell he said the
inducements offered for him to go to
New York were SO alluring that ne
might change his mind.

WHITE SHAVER is
TAKEN IN CUSTODY
Alleged vioIator Of Mann Act Was
Arrested by Detectives While
Hiding In Basement

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 's.-Joseph Mil
Ter, an alleged white SLAYER was
caught by detectives yesterday in a
secret room in the basement of his
residence ending three years chase.
He Is held with his wife on warrants
charging them with being unlawfully
in the United States.
Detectives found where the Millers
lived several days ago, but were I'M
able to find Miller. Yesterday they
raided the house and after arresting
Mrs. Miller one OF the detectives saw
a rug move. Under it he found trap
door leading into secret room where
Miller was hiding. Miller had three
pistols and three rifles in his hiding
place but made no effort to use them.

money is going to be even greater this
year than ever in the past.
Members of the Legislature this
year are more disposed to take com
Portable rooms in good hotels than Ar
the past This is probably owing tc
the fact that this year the pay of leg
islators for the session has been ma
terially increased. Whereas in former
years they were paid $3.50 for the SEES
sion they are now to get the munln
cent compensation of $1,000 for the
session. Hence there is less DISPOSE
ton on the part of members to hunt
for cheap rooms.

1t is possible the legislature vii
provide for some sort Of state
license fee for persons who manage
public scales or weighing places. The
legislature will undoubtedly provide
for uniform weights and measures and
for more thorough inspection than q
present But the problem OF how tc
keep the scales when once tested IN
right condition is hard one. In
fact. under the present law there II
no way to maintain scales so they viii
weigh right. II a license was ISSUED

HOG CHOLERA
IS DANGEROUS
Dubuque Veterinarians Say That

SariousnosS

Dubuque, Jan. S.-The loss from hog
cholera in Dubuque is serious, accord
ing to both Drs. Haggerty and Ken
nedy, veterinarians, who agreed that
cholera might have been greatly less
ened had not the hog raisers been SO
slow to accept the fact that 1t actually
is hog cholera which Is doing the work.
1.-THE symptoms Of hog cholera are
not uniform and are rather misleading,
causing some stockmen to believe
some internal parasite is causing the
trouble" said DR.. Haggerty. They
take no precautions, but leave their
herds OF fine swine open to Infection
