1 believe that the Sherman law Is bad.
It should have told business corporations
how they could do their business and not
now they could not do It. But it Is fair
to suppose that. It is now not being inter-
preted in the sense which Senators Sd-
Xnunds and Hoar, who wrote it, meant
that it should he. They were men of
rood understanding and. as the law now
la interpreted and used, it is destructive.

Open Within IVo Weeks.

AUSTIN, Tex.. Nov. 16.—That another
revolution In Mexico Is in th6 making and
the likelihood that plana revolutionary in
character are conceived In Texas by refu-
gee Mexicans was the tcimr of a report
made by the State's senl<P Ranger cap-
tain, J. R. Hughest in a lengthy confer-
ence this evening with Governor Colquitt.
It was also suggested by tne captain's
evidence that other plans are maturing
In Texas to this end.
While the details of the conference
were not, of course, made public. Gov-
ernor Colquitt said if these conditions
exist he will at once inquire into the filt-
ration and the part that Is being played
in Texas. His proclamation of neutrality,
issued when the late revolution was at
its height, enjoining Texans from inter-
fering in the Mexican troubles and de-
manding the neutrality laws be enforced
by State police along the border, will be
considered with attorneys -with the view
of deciding whether It is sufficient to
keep citizens from mixing in the affairs
of any juntas that may be working here
and the Federal Department of State
also may be communicated with to cover
the situation.
The Ranger force Is stationed aJong the
Rio Grande and its recently recruited ad-
ditions are fully mounted and equipped.
Thirteen Rangers who were sent to Cold
Springs early this month to act as guards
in the trial of negroes charged with mur-
der of a white man will be sent at once
to the border patrols.
Captain Hughes, Just returned from
Ysleta, has even suggested th$.t the dis-
turbances may open within two weeks.
Three Rangers are stationed in the local-
ity where it is reported President Ma-
dero Is getting busy, forearmed for a
renewal of the Insurrection, and the re-
mainder of the three companies is con-
centrated at points along the river where
hostilities this side the border might be
likely.
Nothing has developed as to whether
Captain Hughes' information concerns the
presence in San Antonio of Gen. Ber-
nardo Reyes at any time since his arri-
val.

General Reyes Believes Discord Will
Spread Throughout Entire
Country
"All of the trouble that has developed !n
lorreon a:,<! other places In the Republic
of Mexico in the last few days is the out-
come of promises made and yet unfilled,
said General Bernardo Reyes at his home
on San Pedro Avenue last evening.
"Torreon and that viclntty ar* not the
orly portion* of the country that will be
affected. The discord will spread through
all of Mexico. It is all because of ths
many promises that have been made and
In o great muuy Instances cannot or will
not he fulfilled."
This wns sll Onersl Reyes would *ay

public. The neneral had an extremely
busy day.
All through the day there ws* n con-
tinuous striiiK of callers. The general re-
ceived a givMt many of them, if only for
a minute, and then returned to the toll
of replytug to a great stack of communi-
cations. He has had a great deal of corre-
spondence. and much of this he hns an-
swered personally. Ills secretaries were
Jrst es busy as he in meeting many of the
cs Iters.

Su Antonio ..... Texas
WASHINGTON, D. C-, Nov. 16.-Satis-
fled the decree entered In the Circuit
Court at New York today providing for
the disintegration of the American To-
bacco Company into fourteen corpora-
tion! will terminate a monopoly and sub-
stitute actual competition Instead, At-
torney General Wickersham will not ap-
peal the case lo the Federal Supreme
Court He will accept the Circuit Court's
decision, although the Government pos-
sesses the right to carry the plan of dis
solution to the highest tribunal at any
time within a year.
The Government's approval of the
plan was made known by the Attorney
General in an official statement issued
today. The size of the corporations into
which the company will be separated
constitutes no valid objection to the
court's decree, in the judgment of the
Attorney General.
"Some of the representatives of the so-
called Independent retailers' association
urged th e distribution of the business
among seventy corporations Instead of
fourteen," says Mr. Wickersham. "The
suggestion might as well ».ave been fifty
or two hundred. For the Government to
have supported any such contention un-
doubtedly would have resulted in a re-
ceivership and enormous and widespread
injury to the general business conditions
of the country."
FARM LABORERS ARE NEEDED
Immigration Officials Plan to Work
Together on Supply.
•WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 16,-There
is great need for labor on the farms of
the United States offering opportunity to
the immigrant and the native unem-
ployed. This condition was emphasised
by State immigration officials here today
at a Joint conference with the Federal
in migration authorities, called to find a
means of co-operation between the Gov-
ernment forces for the distribution of Im-
migrants, settlers and th© unemployed to
localities where they are needed.
Practically every State in the Union
was represented. A number of resolution*
were offered and a committee appointed
to evolve a practical method by which tne
division of information of th© United
Slates immigration service and the State
Immigration otfleers may work in har-
mony.
Charles Harris, manager of the free em-
ploy men t bureau of Kansas, asserted col-
lege students afforded the best help on
the farms. Four-fifths of the Tanns of
Ol.lo are In need of labor, according to
A. P. Sandier, sccrctar<J ot agriculture
of that Stat*
OTHERS PLEAD GUILTY TO AT-
TACK ON SCHOOL TEACHER.
Throw Themselves on Mercy of Court
at Lincoln Center, Kan.—No Le-
niency Has Been Agreed To,
Says Prosecutor.
LINCOLN CENTER, Kan., Nov. IB.—
Sherrill Clark, a wealthy merchant; A.
N. Slmms, a mill worker, and John
Schmitt, a farmer, were placed on trial
late today for "assault and battery" In
connection with the tarring of Miss Mary
Chamberlain, following Judge Glover's
denial of their application for a change
of venue.
Before court closed twelve ,1urors, sub-
ject to peremptory challenge, were in
the box.
Earlier In the day Everett G. Clark,
president of the Shady Bend Milling
Company; Watson Scranton and Jay
FItzwatcr, farmers, unexpectedly en-
tered pleas of guilty and threw them-
selves on the mercy of the court. Previ-
ously Edward Rlcord. a barber, had en-
tered the same plea. Judge Glover to-
night said he would pass sentence after
hearing the cases begun today.
That no leniency has been agreed to
was asserted by N. Hawkea, Assistant
Attorney General of Kansas, In charge
of the State's case. The ISOO fine and a
sentence of one year In Jail is the maxi-
mum sentence^
The only excuse for the act, according
to the attorney, was that a number of
suspicious, meddling women hail whis-
pered evil of the girl and Incited their
"men folks" to punish her. Investiga-
tion convinced the county attorney
that the allegations made against the
young school teacher were untrue.

SOME EXPRESS SURPRISE
PEIQIN, Nov. 16.—Premier Yuan Shi
Kal's new Cabinet was named In an im-
perial edict today, but it Is questionable
whether it will stand. One of the mem-
bers expressed amazement at his ap-
pointment. It is believed few of the
new members have been consulted and
it Is expected several will decline to
serve.
The Cabinet comprises curious appoints
ments. Liang Chi Chiao, appointed vice
president Board of Justice, is the great
Chinese reformer, who was exiled by
the late Empress Dowager at Yuan Shi
Kal's suggestion.
Chang Chien, apolnted president of the
Board of Agriculture and Commerce, Is
a member of the new government of
Kiang-Su. He signed, with Wu Ting
Fang, the demand for the throne's ab-
dication which the reformers sought to
have delivered to the Prince Regent
through the American legation. Several
others are known to be strong sympa-
thizers with the revolutionary move-
ment.
To Make Attack on Pekin.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.—An jrttaca
on Pekin In the immediate future Is con-
templated by the revolutionists, ^cording
to a cable received by the Chinese Free
Press. The dispatch came from Hong
KoDg and said the revolutionary govern-
ment in Quong Tong Province had re-
ceived from Gen. Li Yuen Hen orders to
tend reinforcements to Vu Chang, there
to concentrate in preparation for the at-
tack on Pekin.
United States Cruiser to China.
VALLEJO, Cal.. Nov. 16—The cruiser
Cincinnati. Commander Samuel S. Robin-
son, left Mare island Navy Yard today for

BASEBALL LEAGUERS
ARE ENTERTAINED
A T UNIQUE DINNER
Splendid Banquet at St. Anthony Hotel With
Clever Arrangements Delights Five Hun-
dred Guests.
DAY'S PROGRAMME ENJOYED
Governor Colquitt and Judge Ramsey Send Greet-
ings to the Convention—President Allen of Texas
League Is Toastmaster of Notable Gathering of
Baseball Men.
Men who attend the annual meetings of the National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues have been shown many courtesies of many
different sorts during the decade in which there has been such an organ-
ization, but they will treasure in their memories the banquet given them
by the Texas League at the St. Anthony Thursday night. It was not only
more enjoyable than such affairs usually are, but it was absolutely unique
in the history of the association.
Imagine tables set for 500 guests and arranged in the form of a dia-
mond, with central tables marking the pitcher's box and a wire screen be-
hind the toastmaster and guests of honor. Conjecture the appearance of
these long banquet boards loaded with flowers and fruit and many another
good thing to eat, with lots of San Antonio water, etc., to drink. Then re-
flect on half a thousand good-humored and happy individuals, each one bent
on seeing to it that everybody else present "had the time of his life." All
this and more every person who attended the banquet experienced. And,
unlike bad ballplaying, it was contagious. Guests at the hotel came to the
doors to listen to the speeches, the jokes, the songs, to feel life vibrant
with cheer and enthusiastic with promise.
BASEBALia FOR BOUVRNIRS.
There were souvenirs provided for every
guest that will cause joy in many a San
Antonio and outside household. They may
also cause broken window panes and
short flights of provocation, nut the
future ball players will be thankful to
the Texas league, regardless. These
souvenirs consisted of a boy's ball and a.
boy's glove. They are made In exa< i Imi-
tation of the ones used by the profes-
sional players, but are fashioned to suit
boyish palms. There was an eager de-
mand for them.
In all probability the next Governor of
Texas was heard from while the banquet
wa.H in progress. Oscar B. Colquitt sent
MISTMEA C)a» o
a telegram conveying his regrets at his
Inability to be present, and William F.
Ri msey, pitted against uovernor Col-
quitt for his party's nomination, and tne
man who decided in a notable opinion
that Sunday baseball in Texas Is lc*al
sent a letter, the reading of which
aroused cheers.
The telegTain from Governor Colquitt
follows:
Austin, Tex., Nov. 16.—W. x\ Allen,
Banquet Hall, St. Anthony Hotel, Han
Antonio, Tex.: Your several telegrams
urging my presence tonight were re-
ceived. I had hoped until late this even-
ing I might be able to go. (.Jive my re-
gards to Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Washington and California, and say to
them and all of the delegates to your
convention that I would have enjoyed be-
ing present very much. They have my
best wishes for a good time and I hope
that they will leave Texas with a good
opinion of all our people. 1 wish each of
thcin a pleasant home run.
O. B. COLQUITT, Governor.
Justice Ramsey's letter was listened to
with profound Interest. His decision has
b*eome very familiar to baseball mar
sgers and owners and fars Throughout
the Nation. His letter:
JTDOE RAMSEY'S BASEBALL DAYS.
Austin, Tex., Nov. IS —Hon. W. P. Al-
len, San Antonio, Tex.: My Dear Mr. Al-
len—If the banquet had been called tor
tonight, as I understood, I should have
been in the game and should at least
have made a short stop with you and the
talent. But I am drafted to be In Wax-
ahachie for Thursday and that night I
shall umpire a Masonic function In Dal-
las, so that not even a home run would
bring me to Ban Antonio in time for even
the last inning. I should, if at all pos-
sible, both out of personal regard for you
and out of respect to your friends, have
been glad to have het;n with you. When
time was very young 1 was an enthusi-
astic, if not efficient, first baseman. In
those days we played ball. Many a time
and often when the nine Innings were
ended the score stood 42 for one side
and for the other, and we didn't at
that time know Homerun Baker. Wasn't
that going some? But our games were
clean anri straight as for the most part
baseball is everywhere.
As I said wlille yet a member of the
Court of Criminal Appeals in the case of
ex parte Rogenmore, 131 S. W., 1101: "It
Is known, of course, that baseball is the • i
most generally practiced, patronized and
approved of all the games of exercise,
and that it Is the cleanest and fairest
of all manly spirts, and excites rivalry
in the youths or our land, and that every
village and hamlet has its favorite nine,
and that in every village and hamlet
many ambitious youths dream of the
day when they shall equal, If not excel,
Mathewson, Speaker, Cobb, Napoleon
Lajoie and Hans Wagner." To retain
this interest and patronage it is indispen-
sable, and the far-seeing business man In
the baseball world will not, I am sure,
overlook the fact that the game must be
kept clean, rowdyism discouraged and
commercialism not be allowed to dwarf
the human interest of tne sport. Dmle
Gear and his men in Texas last year
were a conspicuous demonstration of the
