FEDERAL LEAGUE
IS SHORT OF CASH
RumOr Says This Is the Rea-
son League Continued War
On Outlaws
(By Hal sheridan)

New York, Nov. 2.-The Federal
league is short of cash, reports circul'
ated in baseball circles here say, and
this according to rumors, was respon'
sible fer the failure Of organized base
ball and the outlaw organization to
bury the hatchot.
Organized baseball magnates have in
slstel all along that the Federols first
suggested peace and claimed they
lought truce because OF shortage of
cash. Ben johnson, president Of the
American league, reports say, first
learned the outlaws were shy Of the
snews Of war and he turned down all
Of their peace oGertures.
1t was also reported that the sale Of
the Chicago Cubs to CHARLES Weegham,
Of the Chicago E'ederals, fell through
because Weeghnian was shy Of cash,
The moment Weegham railcd every
thing was called off, and organized
baseball announced the war would con

vos Of shells The Russians, II seemed,
had felt out and found the Austrian
battery. The shells dropped in the
courtyard of farmhouse, 500 feet
away. Across the road from us was q
camp of hundreds Of wagons, horses
and men. The sight was indescribable
as they dashed off toward hill which
had a safe lceway, For 90 minutes the
shells fell in our area, First we would
hear the very distant "burr" Of
Russian battery; then would come the
growing shriek Of the shells, and by my
watch, 10 seconds later, somewhere
around us there would be terrific ex.
plosion which produced clouds of in.
tensely black smoke.
Shells Stop Suddenly.

in turn yelled at the go men at tho

or whether the Russians Lost the range,
no one could decide but as suddenly
as 1t had begun the Russian fire ceased
IN our direction, and we ventured out
to see what holes the Russian shells
had made. We found five holes as
large as cellars and some wounded sol.
diers, but no one had been killed, that
we cCnld discover.

Owing to the unusually large num-

justices of the peace during the past
six months, the semi-annual school
apportionment has been increased
from CSC per child OF school age to
9Oc per child OF school age in each
district This apportionment was
made this month by County Auditor

made is a gain OF PC per child Of

SOME MORE ABOUT
ALL OUR WEDDING
Engineering News Investigates On
sIaueh of Cupid During Dam
Construction Days.

The Engineering News Of April 8
contains the fillowing concerning the
large number of weddings which were
reported to have followed the build
ing of the dam. The story was re-
printed from Golfers and was origin
ally written by George Fitch. The
editor of the Engineering News seems
to consider it worth an investigation
as the note will show in the follow
ing:
The inclosed clipping is from Col
liers' Weekly" I have been a sub
scriber to Engineering News for fif-
teen years and have read many arti-
cles in it relating to failures, dam
ages and benefits Of dam construction
but have never seen any discussion
in your columns about the feature OF
dam construction which Golfers"
refers to, and the engineering that IS
involved.

Oswego, N. Y. April I.
Notwithstanding the date OF our cor
respondents letter, it Is no joke but
a serious matter, as will be evident to
any reader from the clipping sent
which we reprint as follows:
In Keokuk, Iowa, an enterprising
firm Of capitalists built dam across
the Mississippi river and set the peer
less Daddy Of American waters to
work running the trolleys, lighting
the streets, and turning the washing
machines in a hundred cities and
towns. It was a tremendous job OF
work which involved the wiping out
of farms and villages and railroads.
the rearrangement OF a hundred
square miles Of scenery, and some
minor changes in climate; and, as
usual with gigantic enterprises, it pro-
duced some unexpected results.
For one thing 1t brought great num-
bers of young engineers to keokuk.
They had worked all over the world
