The leading role that OF Merely

Of the audience. Yet there were

NEW YORK. Feb. king Cole
has jumped the Federal league and
will pitch for the New York Ameri-
cans the coming season. Cole veri-
fed this statement by appearing at
/ President Farrells office tonight.
having come direct from Chicago with
the clubs scout. Arthur Irwin. Cole
was induced to sign a Chicago Fed
eral contract several weeks ago by
Joe Tinker after he had named SAL
airy terms, which President Farrell
had accepted. Farrell had made up
his mind to appeal to the courts, in
asmuch az he had been advised by
counsel that the acceptance of Coles
terms, with documentary proof.
would be recognized as a contract In
the courts.
Cole said that his lawyer had adj
vised him that the acceptance of his
terms which were named on Decem-
Der 23d by Farrell. constituted fe-
gal contract and that he had come
here TO fix the matter up. He de-
clared that the Federal contract he
signed in Chicago on December 30th
did not contain ten days notice OF
release clause, for he made Weegh-
man strike 1t out.
That Charles Weeghman. who Is

!. Gilmore and other promoters regard

E, there the lawyers will go to Pitts
burg, after which he will make a re-
port to the Chicago lunch room man.
which may have an important bear
ing on the future of the Federal
| league.
Big Ed Sweeney. pespite reports to
the contrary has not signed with
the Federal league. Sweeney is back
in Chicago, evidently expecting to
hear that the New York Americans
have raised his salary. The matter
was put up to Frank Chance recently
and he declared that he didn't care
whether Sweeney returned here or
| not. Chance thinks that Gossett Is
| Sweeneys superior behind the bat

forgetting the date. everyone OF them
will be anxious to again see this
famous play. This play. it will be
remembered. was here at our opera
house some two years ago and played
to large and enthusiastic audience.
If you did not see it at that time. ask
anyone who was fortunate enough to
have been there, and they will assure
you that it was one of the best it not
the very best entertainments ever
given here, and will inform you that
they intend seeing it second time.
In fact, it is one of those plays which
can be even better enjoyed from see
ing it several times. Remember that
Saturday night is the date and that in
order to secure good seats you should
get them at once. This is not one of
the so-called problem plays, but a
clean refreshing rural drama of the
New England hills and New England
people.

RECORD FOR THE SEASON
Orleans has played eleven games
this season and has won nine of the
eleven. a mighty good record of itself,
more than that, the team has been
wholly se]f-supporting and not one
cent has been collected by popular
subscription, by entertainments or
any method except the gate receipts.
Except during the fair games Orleans
has played almost a purely local team,
having the assistance of Murray Pike
of Irasburg and Ted Lee of Barton and
no other outside assistance The score
stands:
Island Pond VS.. Orleans Orleans
wins both
Newport VS.. Orleans-Orleans wins
all three
North Troy VS.. Orleans-Orleans wins
one and loses one. with one game
forfeited
Lyndonville VS.. Orleans Orleans wins
both
st. Johnsbury VS.. Orleans Forfeited
to Orleans
Irasburg VS.. Orleans-Orleans wins
A record that goes to show that a
good deal of real baseball may be had.
without the added expense of several
hundred dollars in subscriptions, and
with practically local makeup.
This will probably end the game for
the season unless a series of three
games can be arranged for between
Orleans and North Troy.

GEORGE HOOPER
CANNOT RETIRE
WEST END CITIZENS INSIST THAT
HE REMAIN AT HEAD OF
PROGRESSIVE CLUB.

The West End Citizens association
last night would not accept the resig-
nation of President George Hooper. for
mer potentate Of the Mystic Shrine,
and now candidate for the board OF
aldermen from Clay ward. Mr.. Hooper
offered his resignation, because he felt
that it would not be polite 10 hold
the office of president and be cam
didate for the board of aldermen at
the same time.
The members OF the association did
not think the same way and the resig-
nation of Mr.. Hooper was not &C
cepted.
The members of the club practically
endorsed the candidacy of Mr. Hooper,
which means that he will have to fight
both Aldermen Mitchell and Paul, the
two aldermen from Clay ward, who
come up for reelection at the next
election.
Il do not think that a man should
hold one Office. no matter how mental.

change It's course toward the Mex
lean situation.
He expressed the opinion that Huerta
is losing ground in Mexico and that
the revolutionists are making progress.
He deprecated all talk OF Intervention,
and suggested that IL the United States
went into Mexico it would probably
find the country united in defense.
Mr. Bryan went before the COM
mittee primarily to discuss the Ainey
resolution. which calls ION the presi
dent to forward to the house all in
formation in his possession bearing
public" Mr.. Bryan opposed action
on that measure. He likewise ex-
pressed the hope that all public de-
bates on the Mexican situation would
be discouraged, in order that the ad-
ministration might work out the
Mexican problem without the embar-
easements that would attend a par
tisan discussion Of the question in
congress The secretary of States
gave the committee to understand
that II the resolution were passed
that the president would reply that
he was unable to comply, ON the
ground that compliance would be In
compatible with the public interests
Diaz Seeks Information.
The most important development IN
the Mexican situation today was the
arrival In Washington Of General
Felix Diaz. for the purpose of seek
ing light as to what the attitude of
this government would be toward a
movement which he proposes to
launch to depose Huerta, and make
himself temporary ruler OF the re-
public of Mexico. The nephew of
the former president of Mexico has
been in New York making plans to
finance this new movement. which
is to be a military one, il undertaken.
1t became apparent Immediately
that Felix Diaz can hope for no sup
port from the administration in such
an undertaking. For President Will
son, or his advisers. to take hand
in helping to initiate any revolution
airy movement OF this character,
would, of course, be out Of the ques-
ton, but Diaz has been bold enough
to come to the national ca pital in an
effort to promote his plans.

Professor Won Glatvel says that the
selenium method of Prof. Aired Korn,
OF Munich. for sending photographs
by telegraph has been so perfected that
1t may be possible within year to
transmit pictures across the Atlantic.
Some time ago It was announced
that Prof Korn had made such prog
ress with his invention that excellent
likenesses had been sent from Hunich
to Nuremberg distance of about 100
miles He asserted at the time that he
expected to be able to transmit a pic
ture to New York which would be plen-
ty good enough for newspaper use In
80 minutes. His machine looks a great
deal like the one that transmits hand
writing by telegraph.
The method of telegraphing photo
graphs Ia very complicated. but II Is
based on the theory that light produced
by the electric current may be made
to vary In strength and intensity by a
variation In the strength of the cur
rent The conductivity Of selefiium. the

rent varies with the amount Of light

WIN Probably Fall Far Short of Es-
timnted $50 600, 900.
A deficit in the estimated revenue
from the income tax Is feared as the
result of confusion over the operation
Of the law and the unfamiliarity of the
public, and even government officials,
with it's provisions.
Democrats who handled the income
tax legislation estimated that the law
would yield revenue of about $780,
5000 from 100000 persons, but 1t
seems inevitable that the actual col
iections will fall far short OF that es-
innate, and probably result in big
deficit in the governments annual rev.
enue. That the income tax will not
offset the reduction Of tariff revenue
made by the Democrats Is the conten-
ton of many of those competent to
estimate.
Grave fear is entertained by those
responsible for the finances Of the
administration that the party has been
precipitate. not to say foolhardy in
ruthlessly exchanging tariff duties Of
q known revenue producing power for
an income tax of purely estimated rev.
enue potentiality. In fact. the sug-
gestion is heard in inner circles that
1t would have been far wiser to enact
gradually diminishing tariff rates,
somewhat after the manner in the
sugar schedule, 30 that the administra-
ton could have determined beyond per-
adventure the revenue producing ca
pacity Of the income tax before the
finaf reductions Of the tariff went into
effect.
