Wanted to Visit New Orleans

MT. Farrell, in answer to d question a bout the interview attributed to him from New Orleans as printed yesterday afternoon said that he was perfectly familiar with the harbor facilities at Galveston, Mobile and Pensacola and was not until within the past few days ae- quanted with New orleans.
 q simply went there to see what they had in the way of harbor facilities, sad MT. Farrell. Being acquainted with the ports Of Mobile, Pensacola, Galveston, was naturally interested In looking over the facilities at New Orleans. I was very much pleased to see what had been done there recently.
 Mir Farrell said that he would look over the plants of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company today with President Crawford and would try and close up soon some negotiations that are bending for rails which will result in steadier operations at the steel plant here.
 We are interested very deeply in Bir- mingham,' said MT. Farrell, and l want to tell you that Birmingham is not any worse off than a great many places that could name However, have returned here to see these plants and look over the situation I hope to be able to find some orders which will insure the operation of the local plants even more steadily than in the past

A SURE WAY TO
 END DANDRuFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching Scalp
 At Once.

There Is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it. then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain. common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need) ap- ply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glos- sy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 If you value your hair, you should get rid of dandruff at once, for noth- ing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes 1t stringy. straggly. dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it.

MAY SELECT HOUSTON
 TO REPLACE OlNEY.
Secretary Leads Choice for ctv'
 trnOr of Federal Reserve Board.

Washington, May 6.-President Wilson is again searching for gov ernor of the Federal Reserve Board. After four months of painstaking ln- quiry he had determined on Rich ard Olney, former secretary of state, as the man to head the board which will regulate the nations system or twelve regional banks, but the latter has now declined, being unwilling at his advanced age to undertake. new responsibilities.
 Many administration officials were disposed to believe that Secretary Houston of the department of agri- culture, would be the man finally chosen in MT. Olney's place.

 It is an open secret that the presi- dent has wanted to appoint MT. Hous- ton to the Federal Reserve board, but did not wish to make any changes in his cabinet, which he refers to as team
 It is known that since MT. Olney' s declination the president is looking over the field for another member of the board. He is said to be anx- ious to get a New England man, so that all sections may be represented.
 Colonel William A. Gaston and Jos eph O'Neil, both prominent Boston bankers, have been suggested as pos- abilities for the board, but it is be- lieved the president will choose a business man with legal training.
 MT. Olney in a letter to President Wilson formally declined the proposed appointment.
 V1ndar fha f6n president is Ito have due regard for 8 fair representation of the different commercial, industrial and geographi- cal divisions of the country"
 Many Districts Available
 In selecting MT. Olneys successor the president is free to choose from District No. 1, New England; District Mo- 8, comprising New Jersey, Dela- ware and Eastern Pennsylvania; Dis- trict No. 4.

 Fell, who was believed to be al- most penniless, went to the home of the Smiths several days ago and asked for shelter. He said he was friendless, that he felt i'll and believed he was going to die.

MURPHY OF CUBS DE-
FIANT--TAFT NOT TAX
ING CONNERY OFFER

The Chicago syndicate headed by
John L. Connery, which has the moral
backing of President John K. Tener
of the National League, still is at
tempting to obtain control of tn eChi-
cago Cubs. President Tener has made
a tentative offer of $500. 900 for the
club to Charles P. Taft. and the be-
lief at Chicago is that in case he
should be able to purchase it he would
turn it over to the Connery syndicate
at the figure which the Chicagoans Of
fered for the property, $40, 900.
President Thomas has assumed a de-
fiant attitude and declares it is be-
yond the power of the National League
to GUST him.
Baseball has been an excellent in
vestment for the Chicago owner. It
is known that he originally advanced
100000 to Murphy to buy the Cubs
and the books have showed a good
profit in several years The story that
Murphy controlled Sc per cent. of the
stock and received s503,000 to get out
of baseball is not generally credited
by those who should know. Well post
ed men say Murphy owned few
shares of stock and worke don a sal
airy just as Horace Fogel did in Phil
adelphia. Mr.. Taft's move in putting
Charles H. Thomas in charge of the
club also is viewed with some suspi-
oion of being a move to force the Ma
tional League into taking a hand in
buying the club. 80 1870

SPORTING NOTES.

John B. Fitzpatrick of ST. Paul, one
of the leading candidates for the Yale
crews, was taken seriously i'll Monday
from a nervous breakdown. Some doubt
is expressed as to whether or not he
will be able TO row again this year.
The documents necessary to obtain
credit for two worlds records made
last year by California athletes were
mailed Monday from San Francisco by
the records committee of the Pacific
Athletic Association to the similar
committee of .the Amateur Athletic
Union. The reason the two athletes
have been so long in getting official
credit for their achievement is that
the original afiidavits We're lost and
new ones had to be drawn. Fred Kelly,
of the University of Southern Cali
fornia. ran the 120-yard hurdles in Is
seconds flat at the Pacific Conference
meet at Berkeley. ON May 10 last, set
ting a new American record and equal
ling the worlds record made by For
rest Smithson, of Portland, Ore, at
the Olympic games in London IN 1908.
The other missing mark was the in
door record for throwing the 90 pound
weight for height, made by Pat Dono-
van, of the San Francisco Pastine
Athletic Club last year. His distance
was j. feet II IA inches.
At the opening of the five days ath-
letic carnival of the Spcrtsmen's Club
of America at Chicago Tuesday pick

DR.. Ben F. Roller won from Karl
Lemle Tuesday night at Springfield in
a mixed match. Lemle took the first
fall in Graeeo- Roman style with a fly

U. s. To SEND ENTRIES
TO LONDON HORSE SHOW

The tentative program for the In
ternational Horse Show. TO be held at
London beginning June 4, indicates
that the coming exhibition will be con-
Quoted upon more elaborate lines than
in the past.
Close to, $4,000 will be offered in
prize money, cups and plate. The
trophies include the King George V.
and King Edward VII. cups, two of
the most valued horse show prizes in
the list, Both France and Russia have
two legs each on the King Edward
Cup and rivalry for this prize is ex-
tremely keen, since a third victory by
either country will give permanent
possession of the trophy.
Entries are assured from all parts of
the world. The United States and Can
ada will be represented, as well as
Australia, Argentina and Continental
Europe. The coaching marat hon, which
has been won several times by Ameri-
can entrants, will again be feature
of the exhibition.

Reaeh,s 1914 Baseball Guide.

The 1914 Reach American League
Guide-the official handbook of the
great junior major league presided
over by famous Ban Johnson-has just
made its ever welcome appearance
thus ushering in one more base ball
season: a function which il has fulfilled
each spring for 80 consecutive years.
This long continuation of publication
alone has served to make the Reach
Guide. the standard annual publication
of the base ball world, without con-
sidering the merits of the contents of
the book. But, combining time and
quality, we have a publication which
simply stands alone in it's chosen field
in every way, including the literary
contents, official records, illustrations,
quality of paper, serviceable binding
and general typographical excellence.
1t contains concise histories of the
season of 1913 for the American and
National Leagues, with the Worlds
series and stories of the multitude of
other leagues. Special chapters are
given upon deceased members of the
baseball world, the Players Fraternity,
the new Federal League, College base
ball, new records and many more sub
jects.
The 1914 Reach Official American
League Guide also contains the most
important requisite to give it official
stamp and public value, namely, the
revised and correct new uniform Play
ing Rules Code for 1914 with all
changes noted in statistics for instant
recognition), together with the 1914
championship schedules of the Ameri-
can League, National League, and va
rious important minor leagues. The
