greatest improvements ever secured

"When our government reaches

half Of one per cent of the people
of the country, passes legislation
without investigation, and in to-
tai ignorance of the facts, then
indeed government by the people

batting.
Unless Bans mind has undergone
a remarkable reversal, Stovall would
not be acceptable to him, and Ban
has large say in who's who in his
circuit, even when such a powerful
man as President Comiskey is one
of the interested parties.
All of which isn't saying that Sto-
vail would not be a good manager.
He had an opportunity in Cleveland
and st. Louis with the American and
in Kansas City with the Feds. In all
three cities he made an excellent
record, taking teams that were not
highly regarded and giving the oppo-
sition a tough and successful fight
every step of the way.
He is a fighter and driver, the
direct opposite of Rowland, and
knows a whole lot about baseball.
With the material on Comiskey's
payroll Stovan would make himself a
power in the American league.
Nothing would please US better
than to see suffering George head
ing the South Siders, but the chances
are against him.
In the interest of success on the
North Side the boys have appointed
Jack Hendricks of Indianapolis man
ager of the Cubs. This was fine bust
ness until Pres. Weeghmans stepped
up with the announcement that he
hadn't seen Hendricks and didn't ex-
pect to in an official way.
Also Prexy Charles declared he
was the fellow who would appoint
manager when the proper time came.
And he added that the proper time
will not be next Monday, when the
stockholders meet. At that session
only routine matters will be TAX
en- up.

WEEGHMAN AND COMISKEY GET
HELP FROM DOPESTERS

HELP FROM DOPESTERS
BY Mark Shields.
With election over, French Lick is
due for an increase in population.
New managers for the White Sox
and Cubs remain in the doubtful
columns. Great claims are advanced
for various gentlemen by their back
ers, but President Comiskey Of the
Sox and Weeghman of the Cubs, who
have the final say, have so far declin-
ed to concede the election of any GER
tain men.
Until last night the dopesters had
not been taking liberties with Com
my's property. But now they are ap-
pointing George Stovan to handle the
crew. Comiskey is out of town, so
the yarn is safe for the present.
Analysing the StoVaII yarn, shows
there must be some radical changes
of opinion by governing men Of the
American, league if George is to get
a pilots license in that organization.
1t was not so long ago that StOvall,
with St. Louis, used Umpire Hide
brand as cuspidor and was given
a long-term suspension by Ban John
son. He was finally put back to
work.
But at the beginning of the Federal
league war Stovall skipped to the
third circuit and was one of the most
active men in that organization in
inducing athletes to leave the Ma
tional and American leagues and
affiliated minor bodies.
He did some excellent missionary
work in the Coast league, and was
successful in Turing a number of good
players from that division.
After StoVaII's activity in the Feds,
Ban Johnson let it be known that

Chiefs Work
To Avert Strike
Counter Proposal to Settle
Dispute
AS TO ARBITRATION
1t Is Reported That Proposal Has
Been Made Granting Some of Mems
Demands and Offering to Arbitrate
Others.

The ranking railroad executives OF
the nation, who have been confer
ring with the president for week i'll
efforts to avert nation wide strike
of their employees, are understood to
be working on a proposal granting
some of the mems demands and Of
fering to arbitrate others.
Although the executives apparently
continue to maintain their position in
opposition to President Wilson's plan,
granting the employees Il basic eight
hour day while Il commission investi-
gates. administration officials cX-
pressed the hope that ultimately they
would decide in favor of the preSi.
dents proposal.
The only outward development in
the situation was the declaration by
President Wilson that, instead of en-
dangering the principle of arbitra-
ton, his plan would strengthen it.
kilograms urging the president to
insist on arbitration arrived in large
numbers at the White House. Most
of them were sent by business men
and firms and organizations. Copies
of many were sent to the railroad
executives. Administration officials
said the kilograms would have no eff
feet on the president, since he had
tried to bring about arbitration, had
failed and had no way Of forcing it.

5 Negroes Hanged

MutiIated Body of Fioridian Found ir
River.


Indignation is rife in the section
about Caryville, Fla, over the muir
der of p. II. Clemmons, whose mutt
lated body was found in the Chloe
tawhatchie river.
Mr.. Clemmons' body was discov-
cred as the result of a search insti-
tuted by relatives and friends when
he failed to return home within three
days after leaving on a fishing trip,
which usually took only one day. His
boat was discovered overturned in a
drift, and nearby the mutilated body
was found. A bullet wound in the
mouth, crushed place in the skull
and knife wounds across the back and
stomach gave evidence that murder
had been committed. When found
the body was clothed in only rough
fishing shirt.
The murdered man was an aged
and respected citizen of West Flor
ida. He is said to have had large
sum of money on his person when he
left home, and robbery is believed to
have been the motive for the crime

why women
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkhann Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia L. Finkhan
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" Are they truthful ?"
" Why do women write such letters?"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts Of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
