REVOLT IS THREATENED
IN THE BIG BALL LEAGUES
NEW YORK, July 20.—The Na
tional and American baseball leagues
are now tottering on the verge of dis
solution as the result o* a serious
quarrel which has taken place be
tween the players ana the managers.
President Fultz of tne players’ fra
ternity called today on the players to
go out on strike and fixed the day for
the walkout as Wednesday.
The chief cause of the orders to
strike is what the players declare to
be injustice to individual players,
who they say, are eften treated most
shamefully by the bosses, lhe speci
fic case now under consideration is
that of Infielder Kraft who was firsv
drafted from New Orleans to th»*
Brooklyn Nationals ai d then trans
ferred to the Newark bunch.
When the call for a strike was is
sued by President Fultz Ban Johnson
went into a towering rage.
“I will close down for the rest of
the season rather than yield, he
cried, and there are those who believe
that Ban will keep Ks word and de
stroy the prospect fv>r the whole sea
son.
Most of the fans all over the cour
try say that the conditions of the
game must be very much altered or
that the best days of baseball are
gone. The players themselves declare
that they will insist in future on
greater rights than thej have pre
viously been able to secure. If the
present strike succeeds in bringing
the owners to time i* is sure to be
followed by others. Other managers
besides Johnson are determined to
fight the organization of the players
to a finish and the question might
have to be decided one way or the
other here and no v.
In the meantime the papers are giv
ing the fight more . pace than they
are leaving to Mexican affairs and
this threatened baseball revolution is
giving more troub’e to people here in
the east now than any revolution of
any other kind could bring about.
COUNCIL HAS
LONG SESSION
(Continued from Page 1)
Councilman Crawford moved that
consideration of the plans be post
poned until next meeting and that the
mayor should act in conjunction with
the school committee.
Then the council paused long
enough to buy a saf«* and Councilman
Noon moved that the bids formerly
presented for printing be rejected and
new bids be called for. The mayor
appointed the finance committee t«*
look into all printing business.
The governor \\r.*te asking for a
census and city valuation report ami
the city treasurer’s new bondsmen
were accepted. The five bondsmen
now are Mayor Boe, Messrs. John L.
Ballaine, Tecklenb.rg, Gus Borgen
and Brosius.
Carl Almy was appointed city as
sessor at a remuneration of $200.
Then came the bids for the con
struction of a city sewe r but after the
opening of them it w as decided to call
a meeting of the council for next
Monday to award the contract.
The following are the bids ottered:
Sixty-five cents per running foot hy
E. S. Jordin.
The Whitehead Kcalty and Invest
ment company, $1,400.

D. A. Quinn, 85 cents per foot.
Ed Murphy, $1.25 per foot.
Harry Welkerc. $81>9.
The question of the new franchise
for an electric power company came
next and the ordinance was read
through once more. Mr. Chamberlain
moved that it be referred to the city
attorney and the lighting committee.
Mr. Noon believed ♦here should be a
special committee and Mr. Craef
agreed with him. Mr. Patten moved
that the mayor xopeint three mem
bers of the council on such a com
mittee, himself to be included, to re
port at the next meeting and the mo
tion of Chamberlain being withdrawn
the mayor appointed Noon and Pat
ton with himself. Mr. Noon believed
that all the members of the council
should have a hand in the matter. He
declared that he only wished a com
mittee to be appointed so that atten
tion should be concent rated.
Judge J. Lindley Green, city attor
ney, then read a written opinion on
such franchises generally. The ker
nel of the judge’s opinion seemed to
be that the present company has full
rights to what it holds at present but
that in the event o* another company
coming in and supplying the wants of
the city a change .night occur in the
standing of the present concern with
respect to the people.

NEWS NOTES
Frank Reese is the authority for
saying that platinum is to be founq,
as an alloy in gold and that prospec
tors should be careful in future when
they get their ore assayed to have it
searched for platinum. The informa
tion that platinum exists in that man
ner has been discovered recently b>
German scientists and the discovery
opens a wide field. There is now here
a printed disquisition on the subje. t
that ought to be sufficient to get all
prospectors interested in platinum.
Frank B. Carlin who has been here
for some time says that he intends o
settle in Seward. He is a business
man and seems to be fully convinced
that this section has big things ahead
Uncle Joe Wilson, Sr., came in iast
night on the car from his property in
Moose Pass and reports that the
ground is showing up in good shape

From two boxes he took a trifle over
$f>00 and is well pleased with the
showing made. Mr. Wilson will be
in Seward for a few days getting sun
plies and will then return to Canyon
creek.
Within the next few days the gov
ernment engineer’s camp at Mil» 25
will be moved to some place in the :i
cinity of Mile 45. The work has been
completed at 2C, or will be in a few
