JUSTICE RECEIVES
CLINTON MONEY.
Final Step In the Closing Deal With
New Central Association
Member Taken
Today.
OUTLOOK IS PROMISING
corIns Year Promises to be the Best
the Central Association
Has Ever
Had.

The final step In making Clinton a
i fuil fiedged member of the Central
Association was taken today when
M- E. Justice received from Bert
Hough, manager of that club. the $500
guarantees for the coming season. This
seals up the Clinton business, it not
being necessary, as some papers on
the circuit declared, for the directors
to vote on Clinton's admission. The
committee appointed at the Burling-
ton meeting recently was given the
authority to admit or refuse any city
seeking admission to the league
Justice this morning was much
pleased oyer the receipt OF the Gin
ton guarantee, and the consequent
closing up of that deal, and is opti-
mistic over the outlook for the 1914
season of the league. Although no
definite action has as yet bsen taken
in regard to the admission of a city
for the remaining vacancy in the
league, he is in touch with baseball
men of several towns that are CON
sidering the proposition of applying
for admission to the Central Associa-
ton and believes that the circuit will
soon be closed up.
The coming year promises to be
the best the Central Association has
ever had. With the admission Of
Clinton and the consequent rivalry
that should grow up between the
northern cities in the league, finan.
ciaI success seems already assured.
Practically all the cites now in the
league will soon be ready for the
opening of the season.
The outlook for winning team at
home is better than it has been
for years Abbott should make one
of the best managers that has ever
handled a Keokuk team, and he at
present is busy signing up recruits.
In a letter received from him here to-
day he announces that he has just
received the signed contract OF Juhn
Summers, a young semi-pro pitcher
for tryout, and that he is expecting
daily to receive contracts from other
IiEu III " AcUi HS LIDS SSAL COitt ais.
His success with Clinton will make
Bart Hougs more popular than ever.
His sane presentation to the people
there of plan of campaign to get
into the Central Association was SO
successful that it was quickly accept
ed and he was made manager at ono :
under the best OF circumstances. Thus
the Central Association will still re-
tain hold Of one OF the best managers
it has ever had. There is no ques-
ton as to the action Of the directors
when the question OF Clinton's mem
bership comes up. They will vote that
city and Bert Hough in unanimously.
Clinton will make the third city
which Hough has brought into the
Central Association circuit 1t was
entirely through his personal efforts
that Hannibal was admitted, and he
afterwards had large part in the
movement to land a berth for Gales
burg, which he had successfully man
aged after he left Hannibal.

FARMER NEAR BISON Is SHOT
AND WOUNDED BY
HIS son.

Bison, April 15.-George Hen
ley, a farmer near here, is confined
to his home with two bullet wounds,
one in the right leg above the knee
and the other in the left leg below
the knee, inflicted by his 19-year-old
o in a family quarrel. According
to a statement of members of the
family to county officials, Henley OBJ
jected to the young man who was
counting his ~17-year-old daughter
and forbade her to go with the
young man. Notwithstanding her
fathers orders, the young girl went
to the home of a married sister,
Mrs. Herman Kraft, and there met
the young man. The next day her
father heard of the matter and be-
came violently angry. The girl.
frightened, started for her sisters
home, and her father, seizing a pick,
started after her, bringing her back
to the house, where he again began
abusing the girl, when her brother
interfered.
At this time, fearing violence on
the part of her husband, Mrs. Hen
ley is alleged TO have handed the
boy a 38-caliber revolver that he

CONTINGENT FUNDS.

Pierre, April Is. - The supreme
court in an opinion by Whiting, de-
MED the writ of prohibition asked
for in the case of the state ex rel
John Longstaff VS.. H.. b. Anderson,
state auditor. In this action, the
question of the constitutionality of a
number of appropriations known as
contingent funds" such as the
game fund, the dairy fund and va
rious expense funds, was raised as
was the validity of their appropri-
atoms.
The court holds in effect that there
is no constitutional regulation of the
language required in making In ap-
preparation. Any language showing
that to be the legislative intent is
sufficient.
Further, there is no constitution
al limitation on what appropriations
a legislature may make, and the only
remedy is to secure a constitutional
amendment to that end.
