BIG leagues ENDS!
National Commission Says
It Leads To Injuries
to Players.

CINCINNATI, March 1o.-The ma
tiona1 baseball commission yesterday
issued notice approving the recent
Legislation by the two major leagues
abolishing transforming trips. In its
notice the commission says:
adequate penalties on all major
league players. who. after the pro-
mitigation OF this notice. may engage
in games not conducted by their re-
spectiye clubs. will be imposed.
This action Of the National ana
American leagues is predicted on the
opposition OF their respective clubs
to practice that has been abused
from the standpoint of craftsmanship.
and has resulted IN injuries to players
that have impaired ability and earn
ing capacity.
"As the vote in each league was un-
animous application for. permission to
engage in such transforming games
cannot be granted by cubs to their
players while the Legislation referred
to remains in effect"
The commission also issued no.
tice that the number Of players who
have been recalled under optional
agreements and who may be releas-
ed again under optional agreement Is
increased to five. Formerly the num-
Der was limited to two. This change
was made to meet the changed condt-
tons in baseball owing to the signing
of the pease agreement recently. 1t
will be in effect only during the sea-
son of 1916.

INDIANS "RECALI" CHIEF


Pierre, May 9-The question OF
attaching Washabaugh county as the
part of some organized county has
not only stirred up a contest between
Jackson and Bennett counties as TO
the right OF the territory, but has
started Indian politics boiling in
Washabaugh, with the result that
the Indians have used the right OF
recall" on Jack Red Cloud, n OF
their chiefs, and the situation prom
ises a well mixed muddle coming TO
the next legislative session, with
Jackson and Bennett counties both
seeking to annex the Washabaugh
territory. The Indian factions, with
varying degrees Of opinions of what
should be done, range from the rad
teal antiannexationists 10 the parti-
sans OF each Of the counties which
want the territory.

Six years ago the country rang
with the accomplishment Of the most
brilliant and efficient transconti-
mental railroad building Of history.
This year the eyes OF the nation
are turned to an even more notable
achievement-the placing Of 440
miles OF main line across the CONT
mental divide under electrical opera
ton.
Both achievements are work of the
same railway-it was the Chicago,
Milwaukee a. st. Paul that set a new
record i'm railway building, by con
structing I'm less than three years a
splendid steel highway across the
plains. mountains, uplands and val
leys that lie between the Missouri
river and Puget sound. With a Sc
ries of brilliant engineering triumphs
this new steel highway was laid di-
rectly through the heart of the
Rocky, Bitter Root and Cascade
mountains.
The result is that the Milwaukee
today is the shortest line to the Pa
cific north coast, with lowest grades
anu thNAtNA ~ NFNy I'LL i1Ai9 ttAAF
through the greatest extent of noun
tain scenery on the continent.
Again it is the Milwaukee that
definitely ushers in the new era in
railroading-the era of the electric
locomotive. Already the Olympian
and the Columbian are being oper-
ated electrically over the first com
pleted unit Of lis miles, and soon
they will be so operated Over the en-
tire electrified district. extending
from Harlowtown. Mont, TO Avery,
Idaho, a distance of 40 miles.
II has always been the aim of this
railway TO furnish service better than
the best obtainable elsewhere. Every
travel delight and comfort is yours if
you travel on the Milwaukee to the
Pacific north coast.

ton, apply to local ticket agent of

FOR JOINT DEBATE AND
NAMES PLACE.

Viborg. May 9.-Lieut. Gov. Nor
beck, candidate for the republican
gubernatorial nomination in South
Dakota, today took c%ogniZance of
newspaper statements on a debate
challenge issued by II. o. Richards.
The alleged challenge has not been
received by Mr.. Norbeck. but he Is
willing TO meet it. He objects to
combining the debate 10 any one or
two issues outlined by Mr.. Richards,
but desires to take up the various
campaign claims and statements be-
ing made by the Huron candidate.
Mr.. Norbeck said
This is the first | have heard of
this matter. Ii is a well known fact
that / favor rural credits and Mr..
Richards is opposed to it. He makes
the excus that the constitutional
amendment now submitted TO the
voters is not satisfactory, that il Is
too broad, but he declared himself
as opposed to this plan two years
ago, before this amendment was
drafted. He is also opposed to the
tax amendment submitted TO the
voters. III this amendment is adopt
ed, it will be possible to levy an in
come tax on the express companies
who practically escape taxation now,
because they have little physical
property although large earnings.
Unless this amendment is adopted
the same unjust system OF taxation
will continue by which the home
builder will have to bear the heavy
burden. and the holder of idle land
is the beneficiary.
Mr.. Richards favors certain
changes, but wants to write the pro-
posed law himself, and said ii should
be carefully drawn" just like his
primary law, whatever that means.
II shall accept his challenge for a
joint debate, but will not agree to
his unfair conditions by which he
would limit the discussion to the pri-
mary laws and to constitutional
amendments. which propositions

ton in the November election and
