CLEANUP

| wish TO advise all to have the
tin cans and rubbish collected in
sacks or boxes and placed on
park ways in front OF residences
bv Z o'clock Thursday morning
as the wagon viii begin collecting
it at this time, and those who fail
to do so will have TO move them
at their own expense So don't
wait until Friday on Saturday 10
clean up.
And, | want TO again call at.
tention OF the merchants and ten
ants Of buildings in the business
districts that Friday, March 4,
is the day to wash and scrub up
the sidewalks, the stained walls
adjacent TO sidewalks and the
stairways. These are in very
unsauitary condition and until We
prevent splitting we shah have TO
frequently wash and scrub them
as protection to the public
health as nothing is more danger
Gus than is ndiscriminate spbtins
However, TO clean these places
up is discourlging to those who
spit recklessly since they are not
so apt to spit on a clean surface
and if they do it is more notice
able so that they viii not feel
like they are justified because
some one else has preceded them.
And / am asking the police de-
partment to arrest every man who
violates the splitting ordinance.

ALTHOUGH DISSATISFIED WITH
NEW LEGISLATION MINORS BE-
IIEVE IN JUSTICE or lASDiS

Chicago, Mar THE minor leagues
are far from being satisfied with the
new baseball legialation that makes the
draft optional with the leagues. but
the tact that Federal Judge lands
is the supreme mead or their Interests
they believe that justice will be done.
according to A. y. Tearuey, president
o. the Western and Three-t leagues.
In statement issusd here today.
President Tearney considers the
drof, the greatest evil that confronts
the minors AMI prcdicts that all Of the
larger minor leagues viii vote to deny
the privilege Of The major leagues to
draft players. The American asspcis-
zion Pacific Coast league. the lnterns-
tlonal minor league and the Western
que are among the larger minor
organizations that have voted to reject
the DRAFT.
after three years Of anti-dr,,ft IN
which t.me the national association
experienced ia greatest prosperity
the leagues arc now confronted with
legislation that makes the draft op-
t.ona." President Tcarney said.
up to this time the majors have
failed 10 offer logical argument In
favor OF The draft other than advance
ment Of the ball player in his pro-
fesstcn. Those OF us who are famil-
lar with the situation. know that when

The action recently taken by the
board OF city commissioners in let
ting the contract for the paving OF
Sixth avenue, northwest, was rescind-
ed by unanimous vote last night at an
adjourned meeting Of the board. More
than 12 citizens owning properly on
the street were present and several
OF them expressed their views on the
matter. G. p. Selvidge, one OF the
property owners, read 10 the mayor
and board a petition signed by more
than 30 per cent Of the owners, ask
ing that the action Of letting the con-
tract be rescinded in thai the price
asked was TOO high.
r. l.. Disney, local attorney, then
presented what were believed TO be
legal phases Of the procedure in Sc.
curing the paving OF the street, and
which in themselves tend 10 show
that the contract had not been let in
legal manner and was not in accord
ance with the statutes Mr. Disney
stated that the resolution which was
published declaring the necessity foT
the paving specified that the material
posite natural asphalt paving block
and that the second resolution pub
/ lished, ordering the paving, said moth
ing Of the material to- be used. and
referred back TO the first resolution
| The contract had been let, he stated
| not for the asphalt paving, but for
/ brick. Mr.. Disney admitted on be
/ half Of the clients whom he repre-
scented that the time limit for regis
tering protest against the acceptance
/ OF the contract had expired, but never
! theless, the fact that it had not beer
let in legal manner was sufficient
for the abrogation OF the contract.
The mayor remarked that the time
limit for registering protests had eX
pired, but that If the contract hac
been let in any other than lega
manner, then it should be rescindet
and there was in reality no eontrac

the minors for as much and in a
great many instances, for more than
the purchase price, with an addition
al boost in salary, which is a hard
ship to the minors.
However this procedure does not
work as serious a handicap on the
small leagues az the draft, because
OF the fact ulat the players are taken
under this rule by the wholesale-the
majors have no idea Of keeping them
but II is their intention to get a
claim and then farm them out to the
minors so that they may be schooled
on AN option for as much money as
was paid the player II me improves,
he is recalled and on the contrary,
il he proves 20 be of no value, he
becomes the property OF the minor
leagues, which Is the curse Of the
draft With this situation prevailing
the minors are slowly but surely los
ng their independence.
Il am satisfied that the affection
shown the minors at the Kansas
City convention on the part OF the ma
jors was not sincere and the best proof
Of this opinion is the spirit they dis
played at the Chicago meeting when
attempting TO effect a Major Minor
agreement The minor leagues have
for three years shown disposition
to perfect an arrangement that would
be satisfactory 10 all concerned since
there are some OF the minors In favor
OF the draft, il was the decision Of
those OF the minors who We're at
tempting TO handle il. to bring about
law that would give any minor
league the option VI accepting the
draft and also give a league that did
not desire the draft, the same oppor-
ttnity. Nothing could be more fair
than the spirit shown by the minor
leagues at the Chicago meeting and
in view Of certain agreements made
by the majors in New York when
this matter was thrashed out, and
their sudden desire TO alter certain
parts OF the agreement, convnces me
that the present major agreement is
nothing more or less Man a military
wedding and will find itself IN the
divorce courts within year
However, the minor leagues feel
thoroughly satisfied with their arrange.
ment in view OF the fact that judge
Lands has the final say ON any mat
ter that Interests cur organization and
We are all satisfied that when the
facts are put before hin, that justice
will be done. ana with that in mind,
the minor leagues have reason to feel
that the new arrangement will work
perfectly satisfactorily.
"It IS my opinion, however that the
draft Is the greatest cvll that confronts
the minor leagues az this time ana
lts dpngor is doubled by the recent
legislation one ~ the major leagues
enacted. taking the bann OFF tbc mum
her OF rarmed and optional players
