subcommittee at Work on De-
tails of the Purposed Change
in Representation.


Washington, Dec. 16.-The Repubii-
can National Committee decided to-day
not 10 hold a special national conven-
ton. but itself TO adopt rules providing
for the recognition Of state primary
laws IN the selection Of delegates to the
next national convention and for the
curtailment Of Southern representation.
A committee, including Chairman
Hiles as ex-officio chairman, was ap-
pointed to work out the details OF the
reorganization and to report TO the
national committee at a session called
for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The plan for a special convention was
defeated by a vote Of 35 TO IA, after
which a referendum, by when lhe
change Of representation is to be ratl-
fed by Republican voters in all the
states. was unanimously adopted.
William Barnes. jr.. said to The Trio-
une correspondent, after the defeat OF
the convention plan:
that a convention 10 be held IN me
near future was the wisest plan. u
was nv conviction that such conNen-
t,on would have demonstrated that
there was 10 material difference be-
tween the progressive and the con-
seryative wings of the Repuphcnh
marty. OF course. there is material
difference between the extreme pro-
eressivcs and the Republicans regard
ing the recall Of judicial decisions, but
so far as l can observe there are no
Republicans who believe in such re-
call.
There has been a great deal Of talk
in the newspapers regarding the radi-
cal differences in the party and men
here have insisted that a convention
would serve only to emphasize those
differences. In my judgment that Is
nonsense. believe those differences
are wholly ephemeral and that II the
Republicans had come together In
convention they would have demon
strated 10 the entire country that they
were practically Of one mind. How
ever the national committee has de-
cided, and ! shall abide by the results
like a good Republican. despite the fact
that I believe mistake has been made
in not ordering a convention"

BROOKLYN CLUBS
COSTLY BALL PARK
President Ebbets Says Some of $500,
900 Spent Must Begin to
Flow Back.

President Ebbets of the Brooklyn
team, who with his two partners, Steve
and Ed McKeever, has spent something
like 100000 to provide one of the fin
est, if not the finest, baseball parks in
the country, says that some of the mon
ely spent by the club must begin to
come back. While there is a clause in
the league constitution requiring that
each club shall provide some ascent
seats there is no penalty provided for
failure to comply with the rule and
Ebbets has said that if he puts in any
they will not be noticeable in number.
For our box seats, of which there
are 1900, we viii charge a uniform
price of $50 each, - he says. eve
will reserve 5000 seats downstairs and
each. The grand stand at old Wash
ington Park accommodated a trife
more than 5000 persons at rs cents
each, but we have 5000 seats at the
same price in the lower tier of our new
grand stand Doing things on a big
scale means increased business. We
have spent big money to get big results.
| Profits will enable us to spend money
for first-class players and that means
more profits if we have a winning team.
Baseball is the public : luxury. 1t
is an entertainment provided at cheaper
rates than other forms of money-mal-
ing amusements. If we can afford the
finest accommodation at Ebbets Field
to see National League championship
games we will expect a better quality
in patronage. The two New York clubs
will play at the Polo Grounds to a great
er capacity than the Brooklyn club can
provide, vet it is true that the prices OF

FABULOUS wealth. Located In Earth OF

came known in Milwaukee recently
with the arrival in that city of Frank
K. Henzel Of Prairie Du Chen to close
arrangements for the transfer OF leases
on an enormous tract of land to a local
representative OF some Of the biggest
iron mining operators in the United
States.
The great tract is in the southwest
ern part of Wisconsin, extends over
parts OF three counties, and the dis
coverers believe that an area sixty
miles long and forty miles wide is
largely underlaid with ore OF rich per-
centage in metallic iron.
Assays range from 81 per cent to
over 60 per cent metallic iron, most OF
it non-Bessemer, but with possibilities
Of developing Bessemer quality at a
lower depth.
The ore is near the surface, being in
places only twenty feet beneath. while
in the best explored tract the mineral
is eighty feet below the surface and
has been tested through a depth OF
forty feet One area tested out con
tains approximately 100000 tons OF
ore, valued at about $S.0OO.O00.
