CONFER ON RATES.
League Moguls Meet-More Ade-
quate Rate Is Urged BY Foun-
tain Head of Texas Base Ball.

A thirty minutes conference was
held Tuesday morning between
President Roberts of Texas League
and Judge A. S. Wells, head of Tex
as Negro League in the office of
the Texas League Mogul.
The object of the conference was
to discuss and convey the results of
the Texas League meeting held at
Houston with respect 10 the 20 per
cent gate receipt rate, required of
Negro club owners.
The 20 Per Cent Rate.
The twenty per cent rate in uues-
ton is fee charged by white club
owners for the use of their parks
and property to Colored clubs during
their absence. In detail meaning
that 20 cents off of each dollar
taken in at the gate to go to various
park owners of the Texas League.
After securing this information
the Negro managers filed complaints
in the office of President Wells to
see if more reasonable rate could
be determined; the president COM
municated with the Texas League
head and received therefrom very
favorable reply. The letters were
read before the body. The business
tone of these messages resulted in
Tuesday conference.
Mr.. Roberts in presenting the
question before the League body,
expressed himself as having had
sixteen years experience in base
ball and has dealt with Negro base
ball men all during this time and
has never lost cent; and felt that
The request made by officials of the
League was in part unreasonable
and that more suitable rate could
be fixed so as not 10 cripple the
operation of the ~Colored League.
The matter was turned over to the
club owners to adjust.
A more adequate rate is now en-
tertained as the black men must see
their men again and determine a
more suitable and definite rate.
However the Conference was
gratifying as it exhibited a spirit
of friendliness and shows sense of
cooperation between the two or
ganization.

territory by black troops, the French
Foreign Office announced on January

drawn to an investigation by the
French War Department which had
resulted in clearing the blacks from
the German charges.

FINDS BROTHERS. CHILDREN AZ
TER AN ABSENCE OF 30 YEARS
STORY OF YOUNG MAN WHO
LEFT HOME AT IL YEARS Is
BROUGHT TO LIGHT AT CHAT
OVER TEACUPS.

Portland, Ore, Jan 27.-Reading
like fiction is the story of an I'M
usually picturesque meeting of rel
atives here, after a separation Of
SO years. 1t was like this: a few
days ago Mrs. Ada McGill of sos
Kearney street invited two friends
in to have tea and chat while"
with her. These friends were none
other than Madames Laura Rose
Diamond and Matte Davidson.
Seated about the cheerful tea table
the three engaged in pleasant con-
versation. The glimpse Of an open
letter, from home" lying near by
! to Mrs. McGill, written by a friend
from whom she had not heard for
many years, and the subsequent dis
cussion of same led to a sort of
reminiscent chat. They talked of
\ friends back home and the good CID
times at school and abroad. And
then in more serious strain of long
lost friends and relatives. never once
dreaming that a pretty romance,
shaded with pathos, was at that mo-
ment existing at that "tete-a-tete."
Mrs. Rose Diamond, upon learning
that Mrs. Davidson's maiden name
was also Rose, asked her how she
spelled the name. She replied
Rose" Then Mrs. Diamond re-
marked: That the way we spell
our name, but it isn't often we meet
people by that name who spell it
like we do ours Where did your
! family come from?" she INQUIRED
Mrs. Davidson informed her that her
father came from Texas and formerly
had seven brothers and five sisters.
Mrs. Rose-Diamond remarked. isn't
that strange, my father had seven
brothers and five sisters too, and
his home was Texas. But, "she adj
ded, zone of his bothers left home
when only about II years old and
never returned. We younger children
have never seen this uncle because
/ he. left home before we we, born.
but we often heard father speak of
him." Mrs. Davidson remarked.
well, it's passing strange, my father
said he left home when he was II
years old and never returned and has
never heard from his people since"
The two turned again to their tea
neither of them, however, ever dream
ing they were first cousins. Present
! ly they grew more thoughtful and
Mrs. Diamond interrogated her friend
little further: What is your faith
er's name" Mrs. Davidson replied:
willis Rose my fathers brother
who left home was named Willis,
and my father talked much of him
before he died. said Mrs. Diamond.
For a moment they both stared across
the table at each other, wearing
perplexed expression upon their
brows which gradually melted into
smiles as they both realized for the
first time they were first cousins
After few hurried explanations
Uncle Willis was called on the
phone, told of the discovery, which
in detail he substantiated. and a
regular family reunion was the next
in order.
The two families have visited each
other since that time and over and
over they repeat the story of the
uncle who went away when boy,
who wrote back home to his people
who had moved away and because Of
that fact whose letters were never
delivered.
