ADMITTED BY MAGNATES
Cincinnati Manager Turning Down Large Offers From Outlaws
Defends Organized BasebaILPus Principle and Honor
Before the Call of the Dollar.
By JACK RYDER.

BOSTON, Aug. 10.-."Charlfe'
Herzoe, manager of the Reds, who
refused the biggest offer made to
any ball player by the Federal
League, has come out hatfooted on
several occasions of late in a declar-
alton to the effect that he will play
no more ball if the Feds are favored
to the extent Of taking them into
the fold of organized baseball.
Herzog insists that he puts prin-
cirle and honor before the immedi-
ate call of the coin. lie could have

bit he turned the proposition down
so quickly that the agents head
swan.
Htrzog recently expressed himself as
follows on the subject:
II have made good in organized
baseball and have saved my money. and
am in a much better position now than
played ball. My success has come from
strict attention TO duty. under the aus
pices of organized ball. without which
l would not have had the chance to
make good.
In my experience Of seven years
with three different clubs in the Ma
ticnal League l have never seen an
honest and conscientious ball player
get the worst Of II. In fact many Of
them constantly get the best of it.
There can be no legitimate kick
coming on the treatment Of the
players by the powers of organ
ICED ball The Federal League mas been
an expensive thing for baseball this
year. and no one has profited by il
except a very few players. most Of
whom did not deserve any benefit.
Compromise with this organization
would be the height of folly, in my
Judgment. II should be fought to a
finish and wiped of the map. Then
we can return to baseball and cut poll
tics out of the sport, and we will have
some real ball teams again"

Herzog certainly recognized merit and
ind lstry among his players. He pre-
scented each of the winning pitchers
with q twenty-dollar note for beating
the Giants. and had the Reds been able
to take both games OF the double-head-
err and thus make a clean sweep of the
Giant series, he would have given every
man on the club a ten-dollar bill This
money comes out OF Herzog's own poe
ket-a fact which shows that Herzog
is in earnest about managing a ball
club.

Although Cole lasted for seven innings

 ingtOn. .'.a Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 3.-Tax Commissioner David A. Gates and Epps Brown have returned from Washington, D. C., with their special counsel, Henry Rec tor, where they appeared before the supreme court. The fran chise tax case of the Cotton Belt involving a claim by the state of about $30,0OO for taxes, interest and penalties, is involved in the suit, which was submitted on appeal.
 Upon the outcome of this suit depends the right of the state to collect a franchise tax from corporations doing an interstate business, and a considerable an- nual revenue is involved. The Cotton Belt has been the only one that has resisted it. Arkan- sas is said to be the only state that has just such a law, al- though other states secure prac- tically as much revenue by other means.

 A mass meeting will be heio at Vilona Saturday afternoon March IA, at 2:3O o'clock. Com 1nittees will be appointed to take up the matter all along the route and at Conway. It is estimated that the road can be built for a. bout $1,OOO a mile or probably not more than $15,00O for the road. One of the committees suggested that it might prove cheaper to change the road from it's present location and run it on top of the ridge, which ex- tends entirely across the county east and west, as the expense Of transporting the rock would be less.

School For Negroes.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 3.-There is in Phillips county a thriving school for negroes, that was founded in 1864 by the Society of Friends. Leo M. Favrot, as- sociate supervisor of rural schools, has just returned from an inspection of the school, known as Southland College, To- cated ten miles from Helena. It was originally organized as an asylum for colored orphan chil- dren in Helena, but in 1866 it was removed to the country.
 At the suggestion of Con. Bentzoni, of the 56th Regiment U. s. c. l., each private soldier and officer of the regiment do- hated one days pay for the pur- chase of site. With the S4OO thus raised, twenty acres of land was purchased, and this has been we'll improved since.
 Harry c. Wolford, president of the school, and most of the fac ulty, are white. The present at- tendance is more than 400, of whom more than 200 are board ing pupils, some of them con- ing from Mississippi. A thir- teen year course of study is pro- vided, including a normal course and manual training.
