ATLANTIC LEAGUE DIES.
After a Game Struggle Little Base
Ball ORGANIZATION Passes Away.

PHILADELPHIA. June 27.-A meet
ing of the Atlantic Base Ball League
was to have been held at Easton. Pa.
last night. but owing to the disbandins
Of the Reading team after the game
Sunday at Allentown the meeting was
not held and the league has suspended
operations for the time being at least.
Wilmington was the first city Of the
circuit to experience insurmountable
trouble and the team was kept on the
road in vain hopes Of rehabilitation
Of the club. Then AL Lawson bolted
Reading. leaving that club high and
dry A coterie Of business men rushed
to the rescue. Next the Pottsville team
threw up the sponge. and then it was
decided to cut the league down to four
clubs-Reading. Easton. Paterson and
Allentown.
AS the Reading team experienced diff
ficulties and disbanded, the other clubs
decided that efforts made to continue
at this time would be useless. The very
unreasonable weather and many rainy
days is ascribed as the reason for the
leagues failure. No plans have yet
been made for a revival of the league.

He charged those who defend and favor

the tax rate Of the District Of Columbia
with that Of other cities. The rates are

Touches Upon Half-and-Half Plan.

While he expressed a primary de-
termination to avoid direct discuss
sion of the ''half-and- half plan, sun
dry references were found necessary by
him in the course of his remarks. For
instance, Representative Page declared
that the District would not have had
as much money spent upon it in the
past had the plan been literally OBJ
served. He indicated the great expendi-
lures of money by the government
without the use of the citizens taxes
on big projects which make the Ma
tional Capital more pleasant to live in,
enhance property values and develop
the community. Among these projects
were: Potomac Park and South Poto-
mac Park. the Mall. the reclamation of
the Potomac and Anacostia flats, and
the six millions Of dollars being spent
to extend the Capito. grounds. Incl
lentally he asserted that now or soon
Congress would establish in South Po-
the world and spend two millions to
FIVE millions of dollars in the next five
or six years. All this without cost to
the citizens of the District of Columbia.
while the citizens of his own home
state would have to pay.
He told the citizens OF the District of
Columbia that they received greater
benefits for the money they pay in
taxes than are received by the citizens
This. in his opinion. should be the basis
Of civic contentment. If the citizens
are getting a fair return for their
money they had no reason for COM
plant, in his opinion, and any fair
minded man ought to think SO.

Representative Robert N. Page last
evening addressed .he members OF the
Midcity Citizens Association at its
regular monthly meeting at 1107 7e~
street and discussed the fiscal relations
between the District Of Columbia and
the national government He gave his
views on the way to administer the
seat of government, declaring he was
a friend of the National Capital and
would so continue with unabated in
terest in its development and beautifi-
cation, even though he is about to
abandon his congressional career and
devote his life to his home state.
Representative Page advocated a fair
tax rate and levy on the people of the
District to be paid into the United
States Treasury as miscellaneous re-
ceipts, then Congress to appropriate for
the annual budget without regard to
the taxes collected, but on the basis of
the development and Identification Of

Need Not Fear Congress.

He assured the people who live in the
District of Columbia that they need never
be afraid that Congress would fail to do
its duty toward the development Of the
National Capital. The nation owes it to
itself. he said, to make Washington the
greatest and most beautiful capital in the
world. No Congress will lose sight OF
this destiny. he prophesied.
The tax rate Of the District Of Colum-
bia, in the opiuion Of Mr.. Page, appears
to be fair. The rate Of 15 miles on two
thirds valuation, he declared is lower
than the rate most everywhere else.
There are always inequlities of assess
ment, and he admitted that he finds them
in his own home town. Errors are made.
and the people of the District Of Colum-
bia are not worse of in this respect than
are the people in other cities. He knew
Of the local complaint that certain classes
pay less rate than others and that GER
proportionately less than elsewhere; but
he would not attribute this to deliberate
wrong, even If fact
In speaking of his impending retire
ment from Congress. Representative
Page expressed his regret that he could
not remain little longer to aid in the
fulfillment Of the protest Of a larger
relationship between the District of Co.

predicted d Tdplu SettlHS together on
rational basis. with the friction of the
past removed.
Then. more rapidly than ever, the
National Capital will become what we
want it to be. the city splendid Of the

value"
