(By Hal Sheridan) In the unconditional release of “Big Ed” Reulbach by President Charley Ebbets of the Brooklyn Dodg- ers many persons interested in base- ball politics profess to see a direct | slap at the Players’ Fraternity. They also profess to sight in Ebbet’s ac-| ition a general policy that is to be' adopted by all magnates toward play- ers who become too active in the, ranks of the “Union.” Reulbach is secretary of the Fra- ternity and with his former team mate, Jake Daubert, was one of the| most active men in Dave Fultz's or- ganization. “Big Ed” will be remem- bered as one of the committee that presented the players’ claims to the| National Commission last winter, and he was also one of the leading figures in the threatened strike in the Kraft case last season. He was one of the very first to announce he would walk out. And he had the support of his team-mates in the announcement. In explaining why he had released the veteran, Ebbets said he did so on advice of Manager Robinson, who thought several recruits could do more and better work. He also said that Reulbach’s last season’s record was partly responsible. ‘While the old Cub star was not a howling success last year he did more work than he has done since 1908. His record shows he worked in forty- four games, winning eleven and drop- ping eighteen. He allowed 2.64 earned runs a game, which is not an awfully bad showing. When one takes into consideration that Dodgers did not stand very high in the percentage table when the cur- tain rang down on the season his rec-| ord doesn’ look so rotten—at least not ‘“unconditionally” rotten. Only one Brooklyn pitcher, Jeff Pfeffer, had a better record. 5 Reulbach probably will hook up with a Federal league team this sea- son as no organized team seems to be exactly pining for his services. Reulbach’s passing, if he has pass- ed, marks the further disintegreation of the famous old Cub machine of world’s championship days. Reulbach was one of the famous old trio, Overall-Brown-Reulbach, which was in those days what Ru- dolph, Tyler and James is mnow. Overall has just been released by the San Francisco club in the Coast league and it Brown is about to get the gate by the Feds. Frank Chance got his re- lease and has retired to his orange groves. Johnny Kling has gone back to his billiard emporium, Jimmy Sheckard, who last year managed the | Cleveland American Association club, MUCH ADLER-I-KA USED IN BEMIDJL 1t is reported by French & Com- pany that much Adler-i-ka is sold in|Mr. Bemidji. People have found out that | the | is said that Miner | has been released; Harry Steinfeldt died last summer and Artie Hoffman is now with the Brooklyn Feds. Reulbach came to the Dodgers in the season of 1913 when Johnny Evers, then manager of the Cubs, traded him for pitcher Eddie Stack. In 1906-07-08 “Big Ed” was one of the best hurlers in the business. With Overall and Brown he pitched the ‘(‘,ubs to several pennants and world’s | championships. His best year was in 1906 when he jworked in 34 games, winning 19 and dropping 4.

This brings the total amount of the road’s construction to $113,344, ap- proximately thirteen per cent highet than the engineer’s estimate. County Pays a Quarter. Under the Elwell law, under which the road is to be built, one-quarter of the cost will be paid by the coun- ty, one-quarter by the owners of land adjacent to the road, going back a distance of two miles, as recommend- ed by the viewers, and one-half is to be paid by the state. A large por- tion of the road runs along the banks of the Rainy river. Law is Big Advantage. Beltrami county, as are other coun- | ties of northern Minnesota, are great- ly benefited by the placing in use of the Elwell law and two other roadsare now practically completed, heing Nos. 19 ana 12. No. 9, which is three—fuurths com- pleted, runs from the town of Grant | Valley to a point six miles east of | Blackduck and is about 20 miles in length. | No. 12, which is also about three- quarters completed, runs from Farley, through Blackduck and Kelliher to the Tamarac river, being about 50 miles long. Viewers at Work. The viewers are now at work on still another Elwell road, which will run between Blackduck and Cass Lake. This road will be about 35 miles long. Farmers in Beltrami county are greatly in favor of the Elwell law |and they are anxious that it not be |repealed in consequence of an effort { which is now being made at St. Paul. i Unclaimed Letters.

SToP LAND SPECULATION | State Aunditor Preus Wants Legisla- ture to Re-enact Cole Law Govern- ing Purchase From State. WOULD - FAVOR HO}fESTEADER To do away with speculation in state land, State Auditor J. A. O. Preus has drafted a bill, introduced Wednesday by Representatives C. H. Warner and C. W. Bouck, re-enact- ing the Cole law of 1905, with some changes: It makes homestead re- quirements of the purchasers, and re- duces the amount one purchaser can buy from 320 to 160 acres. It also prohibits purchases through an agent unless the purchaser himself has been on the land. Under the proposed law, a pur- chaser of state lands must inside of seven years do one of three things, |- as follows: First.—Fence at least 25 per cent of the tract for pasture and put the entire area so fenced in- to condition for grazing. Second.—Plow and raise an ordinary farm crop upon at least 5 per cent of the. tract. Third.—Build a house and ac- tually reside therein upon the land for 12 months consecu- tively. Purchasers failing to do one of these things within seven years will lose the land and all payments made on it. The bill also prohibits trans- fer of more than 320 acres to any person or corporation as long as the state holds the legal title. A similar law was enacted in 1905 but repealed in 1913 on the ground that it hampered the movement of state lands. Mr. Preus says absence of such restrictions has encouraged speculaters and has not helped settle- ment. “This bill is not in any way in- tended to discourage the sale of state lands,” he said today. “The state of Minnesota must sell its state lands: First, in order that the trust funds of the state may become as great as possible; second, in order that north- ern Minnesota, where these lands are located, may become developed by the assistance of new settlers and by placing lands upon the tax rolls. “Further legislation should favor the homesteader of state lands ahove the speculator.” CLEVELAND FEARS THE “JITNEY” BUS Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 11.—Cleve- land fears ‘the “jitney bus. Cleve- land city officials and street rallway officials alike are on record Loday against the new auto-bus competi- tion to street cars because it means the elimination of Clevelanl’s well known three-cent street car fare. The city regulates the street cars. If the earnings of the Cleveland Railway company are over a stipulated amount, fares remain three cents. If they fall below, the fare reverts to five cents. The popularity of the “jitney bus” sweeping east from the Pacific coast, already has invaded Ohio. Two plans to install the “jit- nies” in Cincinnati are now- being worked out. One promoter is said to have ordered fifty with trailers. Cleveland, it is feared, is next.

CORN STALK DISEASE RAVAGES NEBRASKA Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 11.—The rav- ages of corn stalk disease among horses this winter are the worst in the history of Nebraska, according to Dr. Charles M. Day, state field veterinarian, in a report today. Ac- cording to word received by the state veterinarian’s department from one of its field men, over two hundred horses have died in one county alone as a result of the disease. The ani- Tals affected with the disease first become affected with drowsiness and later become delirious. The disease is acute and death results within a few days. The attacks are in almost every instance fatal. A substance in the corn stalk on which the animals feed causes the poisoning. An analy- sis by government experts at Wash- ington resulted in the report that the poisonous substance is a’ species of mould. MILLIONAIRE SAYS HE ‘STOLE WATERMELONS Pasadena, Cal., Feb. 11.—Nathan Straus, New York millionaire, who is spending the winter here, says he stole melons when he was a boy in “An old dealer named Col- lingsworth,” said Straus, “‘used to sell watermelons. He’d drive up to the school and we’d all gather 'round and thump the melons. Finally we’d pick out the best one, and some -boy 'ud hand hifn-a dime with a rubber tied to it, and it would slip’out of Collingworth’s fingers. For a little bit he’d look around, thinking it had dropped into the wagon. Then he’d say: ‘All right, I'll find it when I get home. Just take the melon along.’” ‘When gold nuggets are heated over a Bunsen burner, blisters appear on their surfaces and explode, which is taken to indicate that nuggets con- tain some gas.
