Maxwell held long conference in an
effort to get together" on suitable
plan for levee protection of the Mis-
sissippi river.
The Ransdell-Humphreys bill and
the Newlands bill were discussed at
length, and those features of the New
lands bill to which there is objection
in louisiana were thoroughly gone
over.
As Senator Ransdell is chairman OF
the Senate subcommittee on COM
merce, 10 which will be referred the
annual river ard harbor appropriation
bill, the conference was of great i'm
portance insofar as the fate of the two
big. levee and river regulation bills,
w,ich have been bone of contention
in louisiana, is concerned.
Both sides showed a willingness to
compromise. Senator Ransdell made
proposition, it was stated, to Senator
Newlands to take concerted action fol
the Improvement of the Mississippi
river and levee extension and flooc
prediction, and Senator Newlands re
ciprecated by declaring that he woult

Baton Rouge-The city council OF
Baton Rouge, at a special session call
ed by Mayor Grouchy, authorized the
appointment of committee of three
to enter into formal contract with
the board of control for the sale to
Baton Rouge of the state prison walls,
in the heart of the city, for $4,000,
and the payment of this sum in cash
TO the board when the board is in
position to give title to the property.
Under the terms of the agreement,
made during the administration of the
late Mayor Jules RouX, the city is TO
pay the board of control $4,000 for
the penitentiary site in Baton Rouge,
but the legislature provided for the
sale of the property to the city for not
| less than $4,000 and twenty acres or
ground. The board of control held
| that it did not want the twenty acres
of ground, and agreed on the total OF
$4,000 in cash, the board to purchase
its own land.
At conference with Governor Hall,
the committee urged that the state
board sign the agreement to sell to
the city at the price fixed, delivery Of
title and cash paid when the legisla-
ture passed a bill authorizing the sale
for $35, 900. Governor Hall thought 1t
was best not to enter into such an
agreement, but to allow matters to re-
main as they are and to await the &C
ton Of the legislature in the matter.

FRED CLARKE. PIRATE CHIEF, WILL BE
 42 TOMORROW

Frederick c. Clarke, who has been the pilot of the Pittsburgh Pirates as long as the average fan can remember, will pass his fory second milestone to- morrow Sir Frederick is a. Hawk eye by birth, a Jawhawker by adop- ton, and a buccaneer chief by profes- sion. Which is to say that he was born in Iowa-in Madison county, to be precise-and now does his voting in Kansas where he owns a. flock of farms and is rated as one of the veal tIiest and most influential of the citi- gems of the Sunf1ower state. The skip per of. the Corsairs has held the man ager1a1 helm longer than anyZother man in the business, having. piloted the Pirate craft since he joined the club
 Hastings In the Nebraska State league in 1892. St. Joseph, Mo, was his next stop, and from there lie went to Mem pI1is in 1908. It was twenty years ago that he broke into the main circuit with the Louisville Colone1s tn en in the National league. He was one of the star swatters and outfe1ders of the league, and in 1897 he broke into that select company of thirty-one big league players who have ba1ted over 400.
 Before he adopted baseball as a means of livelihood Clarke drove a grocery wagon in Des Moines. When he was a mere kid Fred tramped through Des Moines looking for a ojb He was turned down at many places but O. H. Thomas, a grocer in the Iowa. capital, hired him at $50 a month on the strength of Fred'S state ment that he was first class ball player. The grocer's son was pitcher for the Mascots. an amateur club, and the old gentleman was an ardent fan Mnd anxious to bolster up the team Fred was given Saturday afternoons off to play ball, and he made a. hit with the Mascotssk covering second base in grand style. He did so well that he was offered $3o per month to play with with a semi-pro fessionaI club When he heard that Hastings, Neb, areguIar 1eague club needed a catch CT, Fred applied for the job, and was hired at $50 a month. In the Nebras- kas town he became a popular hero, and his fame spread to St. Joe, where he played the following season at a salary of $125 a month. Then he went South, with another boost in salary and in 1894 he landed in Louisville. a big 1eaguer. Then he went to Pitts burghs where, as manager of John Henry Wagner and the other Pirates, he landed penna.nts in 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1s09- This year the Pirates have been both at the head and the foot of the class, and at times have looked like sure pennant winners and hope less tail-enders.

YOUR SICK CHILD IS CONSTIPATED!
 LOOK AT TONGUE
If cross, feverish or bilious give California Syrup
 of Figs"

No matter what ails your child, a gentle, thorough laxative should all ways be the first treatment given.
 If your little one is out-of-sorts, ha1f-sick, isn't resting, eating and act ing naturally-1ook, Mother! see if . tongue is coated. This is a sure sign that it's little stomach. liver and bowels are clogged with waste. When cross. irritable, feverish, stomach sour, breath bad or has stomach-ache, diar- rhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give a teaspoonful Of California Syrup of figs" and in a few hours all the con stipated poison, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of its little bowels without griping, and you have a well. playful child again.
 Mothers can rest easy after giving this harmless fruit laxative because it never fails to cleanse the little ones liver and bowels and sweeten the stom- ach and they dearly love it's pleasant taste. Full directions for babies, chil- dren of all ages and for grown-ups printed on each bottle.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups- Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "Ca1ifornia Syrup of Figs;'' then see that it is made by the "Ca1ifornia Fig Syrup Company.''-Adv.

BOXING NOTES.

Abe AtteH. one of the greatest little ring generals who ever stepped into a ring, is going to try and make a comeback on October 18th, when he is scheduled to meet Johnny Kilbane, feather weight champion, in a 20 round contest at Los Angeles before Tom McCarey's club. The weight is to be 122 rounds ring side. which will suit both of the boys nicely. As to whether Atteu will be able to make a. comeback successfully. there is some doubt. Abe was a great ring general In his time, and a. great fighter, but since he lost the championship to Kill bane over two years ago, he has gone back considerable. Like all former champions, Abe thinks he can fight as well as ever. and this is probably true, but theF9 is one thing that he over1ooks. and that iss his inner con- ditIon. It is stannfa that counts in 2. long battle, especially between two clever boys, and it is not likely that AtteI will be able to battle along even hnaM in that respect with his younger

 Willie Ritcite, who has been hunt ing In the mountains around San Francisco since his return from Ear ope, is beginning to feel the necessity Of getting back into the ring Willie writes me that he will be ready for business the latter part of October.

We had all kinds of sport. and the enclosed pic lures will show how we enjoyed our selves while hunting bear and other same Aside from getting enough deer meat to keep US going in the camp, landed a big black bear and have dandy trophy in 8 fine large hide that am having prepared for a rug to put in my home.
