out, and Levan was given a base on

The call of the diamond and the
Bradley Hogg, premier National
league baseball pitcher Of LAST season
and young Americas lawyer this sea-
son, that he was unable to keep the
pledge he made himself at the close
of last season to forsake the game for
ever and stick to his law books, so
few days ago when certain telegram
came from Philadelphia, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hogg caught the first train for the
east, where they will remain until the
end of the baseball season.
When the manager sent Mr.. Hogg a
contract this spring it contained a
small raise in salary in the form of
shorter season for the same money he
was given last year, which was said to
be not far from $3.50 per month. He
refused to sign, however, and remain
ed true to his resolve until few days
ago when the wires between Philadel-
phia and Americas became hot, and he
was finally told to name his own terms.
Which he did, and they were immed
lately accepted. Under the arrange
ment by which he agreed to return to
the game he receives $575 per month
and all expenses, salary to date back
from March Is, the beginning of the
season, and to continue until Sept. 29.
When Mr.. Hogg left Americas he
had not tossed a baseball since the
last game in Philadelphia last year,
and he will have to go through pc
Rod of training before being able to
resume his place on the mound in the
big league.

NEW ORLEANS, May 13.-(By AS
sociated Press 1.-THE proposed plan

talized at 500 200, 900 to be paid large
ly in Liberty bonds.
The corporation would be empower
ed to accept wide variety of foreign

country, or issue bonds of its own. 1t
could also acquire control of cotton
manufacturing plants and lend money
to dealers and shippers on security of
warehouse receipts. Thus it would
finance the entire export transaction.
The draft of the proposed powers
for the corporation will be submitted
later this week to the entire confer
ence and its adoption without mate
rial modification is expected The cor
poration will be authorized to begin
business when the amount of capital
stock subscribed reaches $4,000, 900,

organizers to act in any part of the
United States or any foreign country,
both on its own account and as agent,
trustee, broker or consignee in deal
ing in cotton, cotton yarns, cotton
goods, seed and seed oil, providing the
articles are meant solely for export
trade. The organization will be barred
by the antitrust laws from operating
in domestic tade within the United

through at the annual meeting of the
chamber to be held tonight at $3.50

report will also show the chambers
financial condition to be better than
ever before, it is understood.
1t was talked about the city today
that an effort will be made tonight to
finish the job in the auditorium pro-
ject by throwing the whole force OF
the Chamber of Commerce behind the
movement to finance a structure to
cost approximately $15O,OOO. The pro-
iect now is understood to embrace the
building of a 5O-room hotel in connec-
ton with the auditorium. Men who adj
vance this proposal say that the grow
ing transient population of the city
warrants the erection of such struc-
ture without in any way infringing up
on the patronage of the present hotel
facilities of the city. The whole pro-
iect is to be undertaken purely as a
business proposition, the profits upon
which are expected to pay a, reasona-
