CROPS SUFFER BIG DAMAGE
Third Violent Storm Of Week Dis
astrous to Western Wisconsin,
Rivers Overlooking.

La Crosse. Reports of - third VIC
lent storm of a week indicate even
more crop damage than from the cy-
clones on June "a.
All railroads here suffered washouts
and flooded tracks that delayed traffic.
Fields over wide extent are buried
in sand and mud and standing grain
stalled. Rivers in the western part OF
the state are overfowing. Many barns
were struck by lightning and heavy
stock losses suffered The steamer
Sidney, on the Mississippi, with 1000
excursionists, was hard put to make
its wharf. Easements were flooded
and trees blown down in this city.
In La Crosse and Vernon counties
deep gullies are torn through the
fields, while in the valleys many a
hay crop was ruined. At Viroqua the
big La Void tobacco factory was blown
down. The parsonage of the Rev. Mr..
Holman was struck by lightning. and
partly consumed.
A dispatch from Sparta says that
heavy rains added to the already
swollen streams of that vicinity,
brought the food waters to their high
est level of this year. All mills re-
leased their dams, so the heavy rush
of water caused no damage to the wa
ter powers, but all lowlands in the
south wards of Sparta we're flooded.

BROADER GENERAL sHARPE's BIG JOB

More armies have been destroyed
by starvation than by battles. The
duke of Wellington once said that he
did not consider himself much of a
general, but that he prided himself on
being a f1rst-class commissary officer.
Many can lead troops" he remarked;
81 can feed them"
The big job of feeding Uncle
Sans fighting men is In the hands
of Brig. Gen. Henry G. Sharpe, COM
missary general of the United States
army.
In war there is unavoidable waste
of food supplies, and for this reason
it is necessary to furnish much more
than is actually eaten. American sol
diers in the field waste quite as much
as they eat. The waste of our troops
IN the Philippines fed half of Aguin-
aldo's insurrectos in a way that sur
passed their widest dreams of luxury.
The quantity of stores required
for one days subsistence of half a
million men in the field is: Hard

GIVES CREDIT TO GORGAS


America will get all the credit
perhaps for completing the Panama
canal, but In giving praise where It
is due, the work of the French engi-
neers and those engaged in the early
digging of the canal ought not to be
overlooked remarked Henri Borgia
of Paris, an engineer, recently. The
French overlooked the most impor-
tant requisite in the Panama canal
zone that of proper sanitation. Had
our engineers been supported in their
work by Colonel Gorgas, the Amer
lean nation might not have had the
opportunity to buy the canal.
Il think it only justice that some
tribute be paid the French for their
share in this great project 1t is true.

funds, as is proved by the beautiful
palace, the magnificent gardens, and

Madison AT the opening of the au-
tomobile license season, Jan. 1, 1914,
the highest estimate of the number OF
licenses for the present year was
$4,000, the total for 1913 having been
1856. The estimate was passed when
the total reached 45,O16 and the year
is only half gone. The number of Ii
censes issued during the next six
months will not be nearly as great as
during the first half year.

FEDERALs ENJ0INED.
manager Stallings Restraints All
From Tampering With His PLAYERS.

MACON, Ga, March 19.-After winning
a loose-played game from Macon Of the
Sally League, Manager George T. Stall
lings Of the Boston Nationals got busy
yesterday and took the first aggressive
step in the present base ball war. He
had drawn up. signed and issued an in
junction restraining the Federal League
or any of its agents from attempting to
induce any player on the Boston roster
to jump his present existing contract.
The paper was signed by Judge Mat
thews of the superior court of GeorKta
in the Justices home at Fort Valley, Ga,
The Braves manager had heard ru-
mors of Federal agents, especially George
Stovall coming to this direction, and ac-
cordingly he decided to take the bull by
the horns and prevent any action by the
Federals which might disrupt his team,
The paper is far-reaching and restraints
Stoval or any other Federal agent from
attempting to talk with, induce or offer
a gratuity to sign to any Boston player,
The procedure is based on the contract
labor law of this state and the peculiar
injunction system. Any violation Of the
terms of the injunction will result in the
arrest and temporary imprisonment With
out bail Of the Federal agent who at
tempts the act. The various railroad
stations are being watched for the enemy.
and the moment any enters the city he
will be served and thus restrained. 1t
covers all Of the Braves stay in Georgia.

TAFT AGAIN REJECTS
BIG OFFER FOR CUBS
Decides to Retain Club q Year,
and Makes Charley Thomas
,s President. =.

CHICAGO, March 10. Charles H
Thomas has been elected president
Of the Chicago National League base
ball cub. C. P. Taft, majority stock
holder of the club, was present at the
election and declared that he would re-
tain his stock at least a year. during
which time Thomas would remain presi-
dent of the club. Thomas was secre-
regime.
Thomas has been in base ball fourteen
years, and has been closely associated
with Charles W. Murphy during that
time. He was secretary to Andrew
Freedman of the New York Nationals
when Murphy was with that club and
came to Chicago at Murphy's request in
December, 1905 soon after the latter
had assumed the presidency of the local
club. He was appointed associate secre-
tary, which position he held until Charles
Williams resigned to go with the Chicago
Federals. after which Thomas was ap-
pointed secretary and treasurer.
The formal meeting of the club result
ed In Thomas being made a stock
holder; director, and finally being
understood. Charles Schmalsdg Of Gin
cinnati. stakeholder and business as
sociate of Mr.. Taft, was made secretary.
Other than that he was going fish
ing" Murphy declined to announce his
plans. Mr.. Taft said that Thomas would
take immediate charge of the clubs
affairs and reiterated that Murphy had
sold out. thus indicating that Murphy's
retirement would be actual.
Thomas declared he had no plans for
the governing of the club and no ambi-
ton besides bringing more pennants
to Chicago" He said he would retain
Henry ODay as manager.
Tie meeting and reorganization of the
club followed a conference between Mr.
Taft and representative of the Con-
nery-Spiegel syndicate. The syndicate
raised its offer Of $4,000 for the con-
trolling interest in the club, but Mr.
Taft declined 1t, as not being high
enough. Belief that they would have TO
make extensive improvements in the
Cubs plant. it was said, kept the bid
ders from again raising the price they
offered. but Mr.. Taft said he believed
that for time the grandstand at the
West Side Park, though somewhat Cd
fashioned. was substantial, and said he
was not expecting to make any great
changes within the coming season. II
is possible a new stand will be built
later, 1t was said. Mr.. Taft and MI,
Murphy are reported to be principal own
ers of the land on which the Cubs play.
At any rate, Mr.. Taft will retain control
Of the club. ITS a good property" he
said.
