After much dickering the location
for the deciding game between Will
mar and Morton for the championship
Of the Seventh district has been de-
cided on. Cottonwood will be the
scene of strife Friday evening of this
week. An attempt was made to have
the game played in the Seminary
gym, but Morton would listen to none
Of that. They held out for neutral
town, as well as floor, and in spite
of the fact they stand to lose some
where around $50, they get their
point. Failing in the attempt to bring
the game to this city, it was suggest
ed the managers draw lots, the win
ner to stage the game at home, and
to pay all expenses OF the travelling
team. Morton wouldn't even agree to

With Judge ScuIIy, States Atty

trail of crooked politicians, the pub
lie should soon get a great deal of
light on how vote frauds are worked.

The Trib and the News are not
much interested in the investigation.
They only get worked up when the

UNIONS WANT a-HopR DAY, BUT
NOT BY LEGISLATION

NOT BY LEGISLATION
Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 16.-Leaders
of the four railway brotherhoods will
address the American Federation of
Labor convention here next week on
the 8-hour principle. Their appear
ance is expected to inaUgUrate a con-
certed fight for recognition of eight
hours as working day for all class
es of employees.
At same time the appearance Of
brotherhood leaders - Warren S.
Stone of the engineers, A. B. Garrett
son of the conductors, w. G. Lee of
the trainmen and w. s.. Carter of
the fremen-is expected to hasten
the coalition of the brotherhoods
with the federation.
Labor leaders hope to force ans
hour day, not through legislation,
but through the power of organized
labor.
I'VE are afraid of legislation" a
high federation official, who revealed
the above plan, said. What is done
by legislation can be UndOne. We
want to put through an 8-hour day
principle by direct negotiation with
private employers, through the force
of organized labor.
I'VE want, if possible, to extend
8-hour day to all industries. It is I'M
disputed that it makes for efficiency.
A man can do more and better work
in eight hours, when results are tab
ulated, than he can in a longer day.
At present the shipbuildtng trade
comprising machinists, boileTmakers
and other unions-has no standard
day. The government navy yards
work their men eight hours a day.
Private shipbuilders work their en-
ployes nine or ten or more hours a
day. We are going to try to obtain
recognition of the 8-hour day in this
trade and also in the iron and steel

ARTIST OPPOSES CAT TAX
Mrs. Gardner Says y. J. Bill Would Be
Hardship to Many Families.

Pitman. y. j.. Feb. 27.-"Every home
where there are children should have a
eat, and t would be a mistake to drive
the pets from humble thresholds by
placing a state tax on these animals"
This is the opinion of Mrs. T.. VI. Gard
ner painter Of 1000 cats. on bill now
before the New Jersey Legislature
which provides for licensing and tag
ging all cats. The cat painter thinks a
81 tax would be a hardship to many
families in lowly circumstances.
The cat is a pretty good sign of what
the home is like" she said, land often
expresses the amount of kindness or
the lack of il. When we see sleek,
we.l-fed cat sleeping contentedly on a
doorstep, we can pretty safely guess
that if it could talk it would say: Yes,
this is my home, and Pm not afraid OF
being kicked out Children seem TO
take to cats and kittens more quickly
than to any other pets. | have come
to believe more and more that every
child should have a cat or pet Of some
sort 10 love and care for. so as 10 i'm
press upon his m nd what kindness is,
instead OF being told about such a
virtue By parents or teachers"
Mrs. GardIer isn't sure that a sta.e
license tag on a cat will keep il from
catching birds and small wild game.

HOSPITAL TURNS AWAY
800 PERSONS A MONTH
Ear, Eye and Throat Officials
Need S1l5,000 for Buildings.

In making q public appeal for funds
for the Manhattan Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital, DR.. Arthur 3. Duel
and DR.. Walter F. Chappell stated yes
terday that the hospital, due to made
quate fac lities, turned away each
month between $50 and 500 patients,
with the result that there developed
several cases Of total blindness and
cancer Of the larnyx which could have
been prevented.
The physicians said it was planned
to increase the facilities by 80 per
cent. necessitating an expenditure OF
S29O.OOO. They had received an anony-
nous gift of S125,OOO conditional on
the raising Of the balance by the end
Of 1916. Other contr buttons have in
creased the fund to $4,000, and the
appeal is for the Sl15,OOO balance
we have been forced to turn away
between 25O and 800 patients each
month";" Dr.. Duel said, including
cases Of mastoid resulting from tom
sill and adenoid trouble, where imme-
diate operation was imperative. 1t is
needless to say that permanent blind
ness and other serious sillictions re-
suited from simple cases that could
have been cured had thsy been treated
in the beg nning."
The crowdlng az the hospital, Dr..
Duel added. was 50 serious that the
nursing force gaze up their quarters
10 make room for patients.
"This has resulted the doctor con-
tinued, "in the nurses being housed IN

which prevent our getting the high

sible otherwise il they were housed IN

II is planned TO make some changes
