Meeting of Shakespeare Club.

The Shakespeare Study Club met at
the home of Mrs. Hazlett on Wednes-
day afternoon, after an interval of a
month. Two previous meetings were
postponed on account of the illness of
their late member, Mrs. Helen Phelps,
who succumbed after lingering ill
ness of some two weeks. 1t was with
subdued interest that they again re-
port taking up their study.
1t might be recalled that the late
Mrs. Phelps was an honored charter
member of local club and was one who
always took great interest in the
affairs of that organization. Her loss
will be deeply felt by the entire mem
bership.
The study lesson on Wednesday
was "Othello" and was conducted by
Mrs. Angel in a most able manner.
Refreshments of an appropriate and
and appetizing character were enjoyed
by everyone present.
The next meeting of this organiza-
tion is scheduled to take place on
April 2S.

GRAND JUNCTION FRUIToRow-
ERs' FAIL ON REORGANIZATION

The plan OF the Committee OF Nine
for the reorganization OF the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers association,
which was voted on by the growers
yesterday. was rejected-not by vote
but by lack of vote. The vote stood:
For acceptance, 1860; against ac-
ceptance. 5.4S3. Total 1852.
The total lacked 464 of being up to
the 1876. total necessary to repre-
sent two.thirds OF the stock. Had all
of the votes been for the proposition
it could not have carried. II would
have taken 5.947 more votes for the
acceptance to carry 1t through. 1t
therefore stands rejected. in every
sense OF the word and for no other
reason than that the majority OF the
growers did not show enough interest.
Expressions Of regret were heard on
all sides last night. The result was
bulletined by The News and scores
of phone calls from those interested
were received and strangely enough
nearly all declared they expected to
hear that the matter had gone by de-
fault.
Last night no member Of the local
association had anything to say in re-
gard to the manner and today's after
nath of the election will probably de-
velop some opinions.
Smoke has cleared away and the
guns are back in their old place. and
the whole proposition stands just
where it did before the committe OF
nine began its labors.-Grand June

sHAFRoTH AND THOMAS AP-
POINT PARTNERS FOR BANK

Denver Apr! l4.-word was receiv-
ed from Washington that Senator
John F. Shafroth had secured the ap-
pointment of VIII Malone. his partner
in the realty business for the position
of receiver OF the Mercantile National
bank at Pueblo and at the same time
Senator Charles S. Thomas secured
the appointment of George L. Nye. his
partner in the law business, for the
position of attorney for the bank.
Thus IL will be seen that Shafroth
has not forgotten the Malone family
and that while Thomas has run out
of relatives to appoint. he is sticking
close to his law firm. The appoint
ment OF the two men is meeting with
severe criticism in Pueblo and Denver.
1t is considered a cheap piece OF work
for the two United States senators to
make appoinmentments through which
the commercial firms OF which they
are members will receive monetary
profit, especially when 1t is the failure
of a bank.
Certainly there were men in Pueblo
who could have settled the affairs OF
the bank much more effectively be-
cause they know the value OF Pueblo
collaterals.

Neither the European or Mexican

The gigantic struggle between Ger

marked advantage to either side, in so
far as can be cleaned from the daily

dictory and unsatisfactory, daily
paper often contradicting its own re-

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
SEEMS SUCCESS IN DELTA

According to the report of the ex-
pert auditor who has made examina-
tion of the city's books and accounts,
Delta has been going on in very nice
shape since adopting the commission
form of government.
The report is an exhaustive one, got
ten up in good shape and nicely
bound, giving exhibits and COM
ments in clear form and comprehen-
sive tables. 1t covers the period from
April 1, 1913 to January 1, 1914, or
to the beginning of the present year.
The treasury balance at the close of
last year was about $4,000, with
$500 in the sinking fund. A re-
mainder of $4,000 was also on hand
above the cost of the new pipe line
and water works improvements, and
there were no outstanding warrants
Considering the fact that when the
change was made to a commission
form less than two years ago, there
was a coniderable outstanding war
rant Indebtedness and no sinking fund
and with the further insurance from
Commissioner Of Finance and Sup
plies Wigram, that the income resourc-
es have not been larger than under
the old form, would indicate that the
saving to the city has been consider
able, though just how much could not

member Of the Marshalltown club In
1914 there was no protest Beard, how
ever, decided to retire from the game
to enter business, and did not play ball
in 1914. During that year he did not
participate in the game with any pro-
fessional club, and remained the prop
erty Of Marshalltown.
He reported to Manager Richords
this season, after having signed a con-
tract for 1918, and had not participant
ed in any games with any Grub prior to
coming here. His contract with the
Marshalltown club was not violated,
and no charges were made against him
by the local club. Had Beard been
guilty Of contract jumping 1t would
seem that the Marshalltown club would
have been the most injured party, and
the com plant should justly come from
this club.
The complaint is considered without
weight. for Beard remained member
Of the Kewanee club thruout the sea-
son of 1918, the year he is claimed to
have violated the rules. and must have
been considered player in good stand
ing in 1914 when his transfer from the

effort was made to swinde the local

the Marshalltown management. There
fore, it appears to the local association
that the Beard case has arisen from the
desire of some one who would like
to see him removed from the Marshall
town club. and his effectiveness against
some of the Central Association teams
in 1913 might have prompted charges
which it was hoped might be made to

OLD SOLDIER LEAVES WILL.
John Hess, Of Tama, eequeaths All His
Money to Old Friend.

An interesting circumstance in con-
nection with the death of John A.
Hess, the soldiers home veteran from
Tama, who died Monday, was that altho
he had no relatives he left will. leav-
ing some s1,7OO or $500, which he had
saved, to an old friend. Mrs. Morgan,
of Clarion. She died last December,
however, so the money goes to her son,
Clyde Morgan, who with his father,
John Morgan, was here to attend Mr..
Hess funeral.
Mr. Hess left penciled will on the
back page of his bank book, but his
legal will has not yet been opened. This
was due to the fact that there was no
one to make affidavit that Hess was
a resident of Marshall county. hence
the will must be probated in Tama
county.
Mr.. Hess had always worked about
the home from the time he first came,
in 1899. up to two years ago

BEARD CHARGES FLIMSY.
Claimed That Pitcher Jumped Contract
With kewanee Club in 1918.

Claimed That Prtcher jumped NontTaCS
With kewanee Club in 1918.
The detailed charges filed against
Pitcher Guy Beard, of the Ansons, as
outlined in a presentation of the case
by President NJ. E. Justice, are not
such as to cause any great concern TO
the local management, as the alleged
contract jumping Of the player is en-
tirely without foundation.
In the charges filed against Beard 1t
is alleged that in 1913 Beard, then
member Of the Kewanee Central Asso-
citation team. jumped his contract.
Manager Richards, Of the Ansons, was
at that time in charge of the keWanee
Club. The records show that Beard
pitched turnout the entire season OF
1913 with the Kewanee club, and that
he worked in the final game Of the sea-
son against Burlington. AS he partic-
ipated in the last game Of the season.
without any protest being lodged
against him, it Is evident that he was
considered a player in good standing
by the league management when the
season of 1913 closed.
Further evidence Of his good stand
ing in the league is furnished in the
transfer of players from Kewanee to
Marshalltown in March, 1914, when
Beard was awarded to the local club.
When Marshalltown purchased the Ke-
vance franchise the Kewanee players
were likewise acquired, and the list of
players. which passed thru the hands OF
the league head, included that of Beard.
| He came to Marshalitown, it would
seem, without any question as to his
eligibility, in March, 1914, several
| months after he is charged with hav-
! ing jumped his contract.
