AFTER GULL MEET
OWNERS GO HOME

New York, Dec. 15-After a week
of discussion about the necessity Of
clean uniforms and the release OF
pop bottles forever, the major league
club owners were on their way home
today.
The most important event of the
annual coneiave of the men VINO make
their living out of baseball was the
failure OF Ban Johnson's bomb TO eX-
plode.
The president of the American
league some weeks ago told al with
ears that he was going TO say some
Trims at the meeting OF the moguis
that would knock them of their chairs.
AS far as is known, however, all ths
magnates retained their positions.
The magnates did take one con-
structive move 10 stop the talk III the
sticks about "pennant buying" They
decided that after June 10 no trades
or sales can be made between major
league clubs. Satrs can be picked
out of the minors, however, without
violating the rule.
AS was predicted, there was no
big deals at the conclaye. All the
club owners and the managers wanted
infielders, outtielders, pitchers and
catchers but in thcir CHARACTERISTIC
way they wanted them for nothing.
Miller Higgins, manager of Babe
Ruth and Company, said today ne
would l.ke to have Eddie Collins on
second next year but because of the
rules he would have to have eight
other men in the batting order and
the White SoX wanted every player
he had.
The Cards, She Tigers, the Reds and
the White SoX want Joe Boley, alleg-
ed star shortsto9 from Baltimore but
Jack Dunn say he will not sell him.
The Brooklyn club wants seventeen
ball players bat Squire Ebbets is off
TO Europe today and the deals can't
be made until spring.
Judge Lands won another decis-
ion from Ban Johnson before the gas
sessions ended. The moguls decided
that a joint session OF the major
leagues would consist Of any number
Of delegates thai answered the call
Of the conference TO gather
If the commissioner and only one
club owner meet next year in the an
nual joint session it will be = Quor-

While the Glib owners were battling

gether and passed a resolution that

and that he should not go in the rec

Prices OF clothes, food, and other-
things are broadcasted daily. Radio
is used 4 lot at the stock exchange
on Wall street in New York City to
tell whether the stock has gone up or
down.
The current news or items are also
sent out. Sermons are sometimes
broadcssted Ut not very often. Po-
litical addresses are heard over radio.
President Harding's address which
was made at Arlington on Armistice
day, 1921, was heard in New York and
San Francisco as plainly as in Arl-
ington. Anacosta is the nearest RAJ
dio-phone broacasting station to Alex

and Friday nights. Communication
has, for many years before wireless
was thought of, been carried out by
Aether Waves in the form of light
waves by using searchlights and SIM
liar apparatus, but this method has
the disadvantage that the range Is
small and ether objects interrupt COM
munication. These and many other
uses have been made out of radio.
In time we hope that many other uses
will be made cut of the great and
price less invention, radio.

BOZ ENSAIE. 81 YEARS
AN UMPIRE, is RETIRED

New York, Dec. 15.-Robert D.
Emslie, who has served as umpire in
the National League for the past thir-
lyons years, has been appointed in an
advisory capacity to the president of
the league. Only in extreme emer-
gency will the veteran umpire be call
ed upon to take his post again on the
field.
In MS new position, Elnsiie will aid
not only in the development and in
struction of young umpires, but his
experience as a playing rule expert
will continue to be OF service to the
league and to base ball generally.
Emslie umpired his first game in the
senior league at Cincinnati, August
90, 1891, and for thirty-one consecu-
tive seasons he has been rated as the
past master Of patience and diplomacy
among base ball officials.

GREAT RECORD FOR
FIRST FISCAL YEAR

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The con-
summate skill with which the nations
finances have been handled is reflect
ed in the report Of Secretary Mellon
the condition Of the treasury on
June 80, the last day of the fiscal
year, 1922. An estimated deficit of
$24,0 900 has been turned into an
actual surplus CT $4,000, 900. In
addition the public debt has been re
duced by $1,01A, 100000.
1t is probable that never before in
the history of the country has a fiscal
year shown such a tremendous reac-
reaction in favor of economy and
sound financial policies. The gross
extravaganza that had featured the
former administration gave way to a
program of rigid economy when Presi-
dent Harding took office on March
A, 1921. 1t has been impossible, how
ever, to estimate accurately the full
effect of Republican retrenchment
until the completion Of the first fis
cal year under Republican rule. The
actual figures made public by Secre-
tary Mellen are an ample reward
to the voters who put their confidence
in Republican policies and candidates.
Equally important, also. is the man

transaction would be had the state government
been but one man. The man, to accommodate
his good friends, the employees at the state cap
itol, goes to the bank and borrows $4,000 on his
note at six per cent. He buys coal with the
money, and sells it to the employees on credit,
without notes from them or even z book account.
In the course of two years the coal buyers pay
the man back, without interest, all of the $4,000
but $500, leaving the accommodating gentleman
to take up his note at the bank or continue pay
ing interest. Then, when somebody remarks
that this was a rather one-sidedN transaction,
along comes Mr.. Choate, and retorts:
"Why, $500 is not an excessive balance due
on over $4,000 Of credit transactionsr
The accommodating gentleman in the illus
~tration is the people of this state, and they paid
the interest on the note at the bank, lost that
interest, are still out $500, and are told that they
ought to be pleased it wasn't more. Perhaps
some of the taxpayers would like to ask Mr.
Choate why the Is state house employees were
entitled to such kind treatment, and why the
taxpayers have been made the goat.

OF THE ROAD

Most every traveller has had experience at
one time or another with the road hog the
person who drives in the center of the road and
refuses to give up a bit of it to allow some one
to pass, whether going in the same direction or
not. This specie does not exist among those who
do not drive automobiles alone, for it is regret
table to observe that too many of these seem to
have the idea that the public highway is con-
Structed for their own personal benefit.
One kind of driver who seems to have an
idea that hogging the road is a clever trick,
often does so for no other reason, apparently,
than to annoy and harress other drivers. Such
an instance occurred last Sunday on the Gallatin
Highway, when a heavy truck from Bozeman,
driven by a man whose age should have given
him better judgment, prevented a number of
automobiles from passing. The truck was going
up the canyon, there were several men in it,
and these all seemed to enjoy the discomfort of
those in the autos who were not permitted to pass.
One of the sufferers in this case was a state
official, who accompanied by his wife, were
driving to Karsts camp to view the wonderful
scenery of which they had heard so much about.
Never having been in this section of the state
before, it was their desire to see as much of the
Gallatin Highway as time would permit. Just
before reaching the canyon they came upon the
truck going in the same direction. There were
not many places along the canyon road where
their car could pass the truck and when an op-
portunity came they attempted to do so. Their
efforts were f~orstalled by the driver of the truck
deliberately holding the road in such a manner
as to make it impossible for them to pass it.
In addition to holding the road, the driver
and his companions expressed their delight il
the discomfort of those in the auto in sneerine
laughter and otherwise conducting themselves il
a distinctly ungentlemanly manner. A good shar,
of the trip up the canyon consisted in repiti
tons of this conduct. The ride for the visitor
was practically spoiled for them.
= Such conduct upon the part of any driver O
any vehicle, deserves to be censured severely
Tourists, as well as those who live in this vale
cannot De h~arressed oy drivers of such a kline
without the local community receiving a shar
of the discredit. These occurances should /
brought to the attention of county officers, wher
ever they occur so that those who deliberatel
bring discomfort to others may be given sue
IS punishment as they rightly deserve.
