MAY DISPOSE OF SEAHAWKS
 TO F,PATRICK
Holder of Seattle Fran chise, Phil Lycette,
 Willing to Sell

SEATTLE, May 26.--Frank Pat rick, dean of the Vests hockey men, is interested in buying the Seattle franchise, and Phil Lycette, who owns the Se.hawks, is interested in selling.
 The former Vancouver, B. c. own CT spent couple of days here dis cussing the deal with the head of the Seattle team, President Lycette admitted. He said:
 Frank Patrick was in Seattle talking hockey I told him I was willing to dispose of the hockey franchise to anybody who made a reasonable offer. Patrick seemed mildly interested in the Seattle club, and also discussed the possi- bility of hockey in Tacoma"
 Likes West Best
 It is known that Patrick is anx- ious to return to the West, after spending several years on the East Coast. One of the outstanding fi- gures in hockey for quarter cen tury, he won many championships as owner and manager of the Van couver, B. c. club before accepting an offer in the National League.
 Franks brother, Lester, is man. ager and part owner of the most valuable hockey franchise in the world-the New York Rangers. An other brother, Guy, is pilot of the Vancouver Lions.
 Lycette made sensational sue cess during his first year in hockey, his Seahawks winning the cham pionship when Hugh Caldwell had turned over the club to his former law partner.
 Last Year Bad
 Last year the team did a foldup and it is no secret that the club lost money. Lycette is anxious to retain his interests in the skating concessions, but frankly admits he will sell the hockey team to Pat rick, if he is given fair price
 Hockey has been booming in the East and Middle West in recent years.
 Seattle is the first American city to adopt professional hockey and the game has been feature of the winter sports progoram except for a brief period when the league didn't operate

(By Associated Press)

Seattle opened the home series against San Diego yesterday with a new manager, Johnny Bassler, who replaced Spencer Abbott, who has been fired
 The home folks gave Bassler a zig hand but the home team lost, apparently from force of habit.
 Despite yesterdays loss, the In- dians are expected to play a better brand of ball under Bassler who is 3 professional of 26 years and quite reserved. Abbott was noisy arm waving type and gave the players loud criticism.

Agricultural extension officials in
Georgia, Alabama and several other
States warned farmers against picking
cotton while it Is wet, citing damage
to lint and deterioration Of seed In
storage.
j. C. Holton, Mississippi agriculture
commissioner, said continued rains
were doing serious damage to open

the grade.

weevil damage increasing considerably,
especially In Southeast Arkansas. Rain
also Is hurting the crop In East and
Southeast Arkansas.
J. E. Mcdonald. Texas commissioner

NEW YORK, September AL
though higher than the aggregate for
the preceding week, bank clearings for
the current period fell below the COM
parative 1885 period for the first time
IN six weeks. The drop was due
largely to the fact that in the 1895
total two days Of first-of-the- month

year there was only one day.
Total clearings for % leading cities
for the week ended September /, as

$5,254,337, 900, as compared with S.
842 2,270,000 for the like week a year
ago, or 4 decrease of 10.1 per cent.
This contrasted with a gain of So
per cent for the similar comparison
last week.
The clearings turnover at New York
amounted to $3,2l6,859, 900, against
$3,S7l $4,000 for the corresponding
1896 week, or a loss Of 1863 per cent.

ing period last year, or . gain of 34

NEW YORK. September 2.-The

states, again focuses attention on pos-
sible additional utility expenditures
for generating equipment and sug-
gests that despite the increased capac-
ity added this year continued peak
power demand may force the utilities
to expand their facilities further. In
the first 81 weeks of the current year
power output has shown an average
increase Of 11.7 per cent over the pre-
cedtng year.
Reserve Margin Small.
In addition to the $4,000, 900 kilo-
watts OF capacity existing At the close
OF 1895. the Electrical World esti-
mates that about 1878 900 kilowatts
OF additional capacity will have been
added by the end Of the current year
While this will undoubtedly take
care Of peak 1887 power requirements,
facilities are likely to be taxed to the
limit. Furthermore. it Is generally
acknowledged that the industry is now
operating with . smaller margin OF re-
serve than before the depression, and
that much of existing equipment is
obsolete. Thus it appears probable
that orders for new generating and
transmission equipment, already tax
ing the present capacity Of the heavy
equipment manufacturers, will con-
tinue to increase during the remainder
Of this year and in 1898, In anticipa-
ton of higher future power require
ments."
In commenting on the prospects of
heavy equipment manufacturers the
service states that profits for these
companies are likely to continue to
record substantial improvement for
