Her Dream Como, True.

Last Saturday night Annie Smith
dreamed about a red horse.
And, according to certain Sooth-
sayers and astrologers, a red horse
means that Old Man Trouble is COM
ing around with bells on.
And sure enough, he did come.
Annie had a row the next morning
with Marshall Barnes. from whom
she rented rooms.
The trouble started about q COM
munity hall not being cleaned.
Barnes said ii was Annie's place
to clean it. Annie said she would
when she felt able.
Finally Barnes wife and Annie
husband got mixed In the affair.
There was a whole lot OF rough
talk, but no one was hurt. Barnes
was arrested and charged with
threatening to kill Annie.
II appears that he had given
Annie and her husband orders TO
move and they were due 20 move
out yesterday.
But her bringing Barnes to court,
sort OF put that aside. something
which aroused the suspicious of the
court.
She couldn't prove that she was
threatened. although she and her
husband both said that Barnes came
after her with a knife.
Barnes wife was a witness for
him and she also denied that her
husband did any harm.
Judge Mcmahon didn't think very
much of the case and allowed
Barnes to go.

NEWARK Is GIVEN
FRANCHISE In NTS

New York., March N12.-Officials OF
the International League attempted
today to arrange matters for the ap-
preaching seasons jump-up, but difii-
culties were encountered. Some OF
those who attended wereAin favor of
going ahead with only six clubs, but
the idea met with general opposition.
The seventh franchise has been
awarded to Newark, but nothing. def
mite was done IN regard to the eighth
franchise. The matter still rests be-
tween Montreal and Syracuse. with
the odds In favor of the latter city.
President F,ultz said the Canadian city
had put in a good bid. but the chief
objection is that a club in Montreal
would entail long jumps.

BE A GRIFFMAN
Old Fox Postpones Trip
:South Because of Hopes
=" of Landing Davy.
By JOHN A. DUGAN.

Clark c. Griffith has once again
changed his active mind and will not
make the trip South on Saturday with
the advanced squad OF battery candi-
dates who are to leave here for the
Augusta training quarters Grifr $ sud
den switch yesterday was caused
by the fact that Davy Robertson may
yet Become a member Of the Nationals.
: This is the truth on the inside move
of Grin staying away from the early
training OF his battery candidates, as
Davy Robertson. who is at present
attached to the Department of Justice,
is IN and out OF Washington at vsri-
Gus intervals. and on each visit con-
vtnces the Old Fox that there is still
a chance of him landing in the attire
OF the Nationals.
Robertson is not the only worry that
Clark c. has on his mind. as Lieut..
Johnny Lavan. of the U. S. navy. may
yet drop the uniform OF the navy and
slide back into the toys of professional
baseball Johnny was never built as a
sca-going athlete. and his love for
the pastine may yet bring him back
to the Nationals. Only time can tell
these facts whether or not the Michi-
gan Collegian will hold down the pivot
Job.
Jimmy Shaw. one OF the stars of
the hold outs in the American
League, still whimpers pleading
words, but with salary raise and
bonus offered by the local club they
cannot convince him Of his mistake
Ia Joining this red flag" organ
izstiOn. Hal Janvrin is still on the
outside, but a verbal agreement has
been reached between Grifr and
himself This Is the fourth big rea-
son why the Old Fox is not making
the trip with the advanced squad,
but by the time the gong rings
for the Nationals to reach their
destination. IL is a sure fact that
some definite arrangement will be
" Wsde on this trio of holdouts that
win place the Nationals in the pen
nant running.
Walter Johnson, the smoke ball
King OF the American League, ar
rived in the city yesterday and is
fit as a fiddle. He dropped in to see
the Old Fox. Walter is the picture
OF health from his outdoor life on
his farm in CoTeyviIle, Kan. say
ing he Is ready to start work as
soon as Grir gives the world.
Walter is very little il any over
weight this spring. and should have
no trouble in getting down to weight
by the time the bell sounds for the
opening game.
The Nationals pilot received the
signed contract Of Sam Rice while he
was talking to johnson. Sam says he
is lonesome and has started light eN-
ercise and will be in shape when he
reports at the training quarters.
GriH also received the signed con-
tract OF F. r. Ellerby, one OF the new
inhelders. who will be given a thor
ough try-out during the trip in the
South. Ellerby is at present coaching
the baseball squad Of Wofford College
at Spartanburg. S. C., which should
put him in good shape for the coming
campaign with the Nationals in the

Building Operations in
London at Low Ebb

London, April 11.-With the sign

that building operations in London,
suspended by the war, would be
quickly resumed. But so far there
are no signs of a renewal of work on
a dozen or more huge unfinished
structures in various parts of the
city.
Labor unrest is the cause assigned
by one big contractor for the state
of affairs "If it were not for the
labor unrest" he said, II believe we
should be so busy that we could
employ the services of every man
available. The unrest is not confined
TO the building world. Manufacturers.
banks, insurance companies and other
large corporations which have been
thinking of rebuilding are for the
present holding their hands"
