"HIS Federal League proposition
has the property of looking
more different ways in a given
length of time than any other base
ball proposition we ever remember
encountering, not even barring the
n. Y. Giants.
First, it looks sort OF feeble. Then
it suddenly bulges forth and begins
progressing SNOWFALL fashion, picking
up everything loose. And then. right
in the thick OF signing Tinker and
Knabe, and approaching" Ty Cobb
and Hans Wagner comes a story
from Chicago that the Fed League is
pluckins at the covers and giving out
other symptoms of passing on.
Wherefore, we don't know what to
think And in that we have abso-
lutely nothing on nearly everybody
connected with the situation.
Nobody seems to know what to
think.
THE Chicago eruption of grave
symptoms Is reported to have
started with Mr. Charles Weeghman,
president OF the Chicago Feds.
Mr.. Weeghman is quoted as saying
that there are exactly two ball clubs
in the proposed circuit that look like
ball clubs; to wit, Chicago and Bal
timore.
SHOW me four more ball clubs, and
I'm on" Mr. Weeghman is said to
have said, conveying the impression
that otherwise Mr.. w was decidedly
off. And 1t generally Is admitted that

league besides Chicago.

Weeghman was the hardest to sat-

NOW We look at the matter from
~ this rather simple viewpoint:
II the Federal League can get the
players and keep them, and play a
regular schedule, the public will come.

II not-NOT.
That is the history OF baseball. The
baseball public will always pay to see

Virginia Sewers
Athletic Relations
With Georgetown

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The
University Of Virginia and George
town University have severed future
athletic relations
The break came as the result Of the
communication which charged
breaches of the eligibility agreement
between the two universities which
are said to have occurred on the
Georgetown football team each year
since 1909. In consequence, the an
nusl football games between the two
upntvsrsities, which have been great
society events as we'll as all other
athletic contests, will be given up.

Houghton, Mich.-Charles Fl. Meyer
president Of the Western Federation
OF Miners. and thirty-seven other Of
ficials and members Of the organiza-
ton we're indicted Thursday on charg-
es of conspiracy in connection with
the copper miners strike.
The true bill was so worded nat
the allegations against the men con-
stitute a misdemeanor. Several other
true bills we're returned, but because
they charged felonies, John P. II,
O'Brien ordered the documents sealed
until the men named in them have
been arrested.
Warrants we're prepared for the
thirty-eight union men accused of con-
spiracy. and deputy sheriffs scurried
over the county late Thursday serving
them. More than a dozen individuals
had been arrested Thursday, and cir
cult court commissioners in Houghton
and Calumet were busy approving
bonds of $1,000 under which many OF
the prisoners were released.
So far as could be learned none OF
the sealed indictments related to the
deportation of Meyer and Charles Tan
ner on the night Of December rs. The
grand jury continued its work after
making its report to the court, but the
score or more of witnesses in the ante.

of $6250 a year. The interest
amounts to $500. Interest and
prine'oa' added make $13,75O. In
this event it would take a levy Of

sake OF simple figuring we will
take n mills, leaving the valua-

Each year the interest would be-
tome less, and each year the valu-

would be a material reduction in
the tax each year. Every piece
OF property that comes in bears a
part.
These figures give the reader
the very worst that is possible.
Every piece of land that is patent

stock of goods put in, every new
home built, every new settler who
brings in personal property, re-
duces this tax. You have had
