Prownwta Season Will Ojhu May 4tU. The choice' of Winston-Salem or Haleish as the Birth city In the Carolina Inter-State Baseball League was paramount at the meeting yester day of the officials of the association, which vu held In the Solwyn Hotel. IV.th of thet cities are clamoring tor- admission, and after a lengthy airing of the merits and demerits of t ach. It was voted to leave th de cision with President J. H. A ec.rn. of Charlotte, and he is authorised ti announce his choice by next Monday. The meetlnir was enthusiastic nrvl v.j 11 attended. Charlotte wat repre sented by MeKsrs. " T. H. arn. It. C. Carson and others; GreenilMiro hp Mr. G. 11. West; Greenville. S. C, by Mr. Furman Smith; Anderson, R C. bv Mr. A. 11. Wells. and Spartanburg. S. C, by Mr. F. D. MiEowen. Mr. I J. prandt was the )cal representative from Oreens lwo. but he was detained and deputized Mr. Went to servo In his stead. The meeting was called to order by President J. J I. Wearn. and Mr. Furman PmitTi van appointed secretary. , Mr. R. C. Carson stated that ne had received a telegram from the .nthuslasts at Winston asking Mm to present the claims of that city for admission Into the leaBuu. Mr. King Kelly, well known in ba-wiiall circles, upheld the contentions irom Italeigh and urged the offlciuls to Jt the capital come In as the nlxih ity for the completion of the league. He argued that Raleigh was cqiiallv as large as Charlotte or Greensboro and could support a team Ju-it on welt as either . of these cities. He wa: serious and made a strong ap peal for the city he represent 1. The directors found out early in Ihe meeting that it would be im possible to come to any concl'inion In this matter, hence its reference to President Wearn,' who will f.nly weigh the merits of the rompotlns cities and make the decision. It was decided that the neason would open May 4th and. covering n period of 14 weeks, would close August 29th. This Is considered . II.. i...,rtv.u acinuin for the I.UIllt-I'Ul-'J' I l,Pv.? .- - liist year of the league and ample time to ascertain what will 1 the hances for its continuance" In the ytars to come. BL'SINKSrt TRAXSACTKD. Mr. C. L. White, representing the Ppuulding Company, manufacturers of basebslt fupplles. waa present at the meeting and given a hearing. It was agreed that whito uniforms would be used on the home grounds o each team. Mr. White was given r' hearing In regard to furnishing the supplies for the league and this matter was given a thorough dis cussion. Mr. C. IX llines. of Cin cinnati, also was present and uavn Information on subjects pertaining to tho league and its organization when requested. Many applications were read from prospective umpires, but tho selection of these was left open until a luter flute. The men who are being signed for the several teams are en Joined to submit their names to the 7Vut.onal Association of Basebalt Jxagues, of New York, before any contract Is signed. This will largely ineiire capital men for tho league. There Is- no longer any . doubt , about the club making good. The directors present yesterday spoke of the prospects for the season as leing nattering arid each city Is anxious for the miring to com and the "dope" of tho fun to be handed ' out. " It is of local Interest to note that Mr. Jesse Reynolds, who Is manager of the Charlotte team, is leaving nothing undone to put this city on a firm basis In the matter of players, lie is making every possible effort to secure tlnrt-c-lass men who have si-.ilicient experience to bo known 1n thj realm of the bat and tho ball. Th other managers are doing the hAtnc thing, and fust getting together nyitcrial for the organization of tho "Jviral teams. ' Several men have Rlready been signed and others will be booked In a few days. The geographical condition of the rllles composing tho league is such a to put operating expenses at a Minimum and this will have a great deal to do with the success of the undertaking. HOCK HILL MAN JAILED. XV. . WI1-h.ii, Charged With Un tiring Iialtorera From Charlotte to Kock Hill. H. C, fcrnt to Jail In Itefaull of 9100 Homl. Confronted by a charge of violating tho law which forbids the enticing of Immigrants from one HUte to an other, except on payment of $100 license to county and 1100 license to Mute, an1 failing to give the SI00 bond required by Magistrate H. II. Hilton. W. W. Wilson, of Rock Hill. H. C, was committed to Mecklenburg Jail last night shortly after ti o'clock. 'J'hifc action was immediately pre rtded by a trial on un Indictment lodged, by Mr. P. E. Llnnell, of Char lotte, who runs a reed harness ahop mid who alleged that the derendiint baa attempted and was attempting to entice his laborers to go to Itnrk Hill to work for a firm which Wil son represented, offering them more money. Wilson, according to the testi mony submitted for the prosecution, (tme to Charlotte and Mm asked Mr. IJnmll for a position, but th latter did not accede; to me proposi tion, reminding him that he held position In rkulh Carolina. The. luwcomer later. It in said, went to a telephone and engaged the em jiloye of the hop In conversation, ottering them Inducements to leave. The matter was brought to the t-tf-j Hon of Sheriff N. W. Wallace, who cafled upon the South Carolinian for the tax. He declined to pay this and the warrant was then aerved on him. ' The bearing was held last night In 'Squire Hilton's office, there being attorneys on either side. The termination of the trial was as afore mid. The bond was fixed at double the total tax required. City Can Issue Bonds. ' The administration is jubilant be cause the Legislature found time yesterday to officially grant, Char lotte the right to issue 1200.000 of bonds as desired by the bonrd of tilJermen. The board passed a reso lution to this effect at a late meet ing and some of the - officials were afraid that the bill might fail of pas r;it'f. owing to the busy times down tit Raleigh. The. ..bonds will be issued ciily In case it becomes necessary to hove the money. boakd is Aroused. Public Safety Officials Trying? to Act According- to Mlxlies of People Find mraiscivea in inromrortaoie I re dirameut in licgard to the Traffic Laws. , - The board of public safety la very much agitated over th complaints and criticisms that have found their way Into print and have also been escaping from the lips of the people on the streets in regard to the traffic ordinances on the square and the re sultant trouble In which Mr. John McDonald and Dr. James R. Alesan der are the offended citizens. A prominent member of that bjard stat ed to an Observer man last night that they were between the devil and the deep blue sea and' the policemen oc cupied the same sphere. "My attention has been called time after time by people on the streets to the congestion on the square and have personally been asked frequent ly to have the policemen clear the way for pedestrians," said he. "V hen acting under our orders the police men exercise this authority, you see wha trouble Is occasioned." It is all right with the majority of the people as long as .you arrest Tom, Dick and Harry, but when the officer puts hands on a prominent citizen or his friends you can hear the howl all over town. "You can very readily see what po sition the board of public safety is in and more clearly still the position the policemen occupy. They have in structions from us to see that the square is kept clear of loiterers, and it is their duty to arrest any and every man who fails to obey the law In this regard and who fails to move after being requested to move. The officers exercise this right according to the authority of the safety board under whose control they work, and the safety board issues these Instruc tions in accordance with the wishes of the people of Charlotte who are molested by the loafers. It is a funny predicament, and the sanest people will consider both sides to the ques tion before they fly off and say ugly thing about the policemen. "I don t know what the board oi public safety Is going to do with the policemen who have been reported as offending the dignity of certain citi zens, but. speaking solely for myself. I have nothing to say about them nor any criticism, to offer. I think they acted to the best of their knowledge In trying to enforce this law." It Is stated that Dr. James R. Alex ander, who claims that he was unbe comingly treated by Officer T. J?. Hen ry, Christmas nignt wnilo stanaing on the square, will carry his pretexts tt the grand jury for an Investigation. He derlares that this policeman jerk ed him by the collar while awaiting a ear arid threatened to strike him over the head with his billy. The officer denies that he attempted the blow and also that he did not give Dr. Alexander proper warning before laying hands on him. N'o Intimation Oias yet been heard as t what course Mr. McDonald will pursue in avenging himself, but the case is expected to come up before the recorder this morning, and he has retained coun- It Is pertinent to add that the member of the board of public safety above quoted was not Mr. tester Oates.
