RICHMOND WILL BE FORCED INTO THE OHIO LEAGUE

Managers of Ohio Cities Petitioned for Richmond's Protection Under Organized Baseball and Got It. UNLESS THIS CITY MEETS DEMAND, NO LEAGUE BALL 'Manager Jessup Attended Columbus Meeting Tuesday And Was Not Favorably Impressed With Outlook. CLACK OF INTEREST SHOWN. SEVERAL OF THOSE CITIES THAT WERE EXPECTED TO JOIN THE CIRCUIT HAD NO REPRESENTATIVES AT SESSION. COMMERCIAL CLUB ASKED. If Richmond Meets the Big Salary Limit in the New League, It Will Be Necessary That Business Men Back Local Team. At a meeting held jepterday in Columbus. )., to organize the Ohio "State 'league, promoters of the organization wttemiited to force a. Richmond franUdiise onto Manager Clarence Jessup j hut he refused to pledge this city as a member of the new base ball circuit until the prusnects of the league were shown up in a better light than they were yesterday. Ite.sides the managers of the Mansfield. Newark, Lancaster and .Marion dubs, who iire the promoters and directors of the new 1 :igue, tlx- only one of the "prospective" cities counted upon to complete the circuit who was represented was Richmond. Hamilton ignored the meeting' completely, Lima sent a letter in which it was stated tnai city would be glad to join the -league providing that some out of town man took the franchise andj backed the club. The Springfield rep-i resentative arrived too late for the meeting. He stated that he had no au-j thority to apuly for a franchise. j Sandusky, O., which was not counted upon as a member of the circuit.) was represented at the meeting but the representative of that city objected to the proposed salary limit. $!.MMI per month. This salary limit the promoters insisted upon. Manager Jessup joined with the Sandusky man in protesting- against such a high figure. The Richmond manager was not im pressed with what lie saw. After the. Mansfield. Marion. Lancaster and! Newark magnates had asked him a; thousand ami one questions concern-! ing Richmond. Mr. Jessup started a1 cross-examination of his own. lie; wanted to know whether he could he I guaranteed that a league would be for-', jned. "Why certainh replied the! promoters. .les.mp then said that l,lnia. Hamilton and Springfield did! not appear to be breaking their necks' to secure franchises and that he would not accept a franchise for Richmond until the circuit had been definitely: completed and alt club.? IihcI placed ; their forfeit money, guaranteeing to finish the season. He vlso informed the promoters that there would he a meeting of the Indiana-Ohio league in Richmond next Monday and unless the Ohio State league bad been definitely Organized by Saturday of this week he would apply for a franchise in the 1. o. league. Toe Mansfield. Ma1 ion. Lancaster ftnd Newark managers then sprung a surprise on Malinger Jessup by stating hey had applied for and secured from Secretary Kartell of the minor leagues association, protection for Richmond and that this city cannot be included In any circuit except, the Ohio State league. If this is the case Richmond ill he forced into th Ohio State league if the local team plays organized hase ball the coining season. If Richmond is included in the Ohio State league this season it will be up to the local fans to loyally support the club. The salary limit is exceedinglyhigh and to meet the additional expense of maintaining a team lie re it means that the business men of Richmond must come to the financial assistance of the Richmond Amusement company. It. is quite probable that the matter will be brought to the attention of the ommercial club. Inlike last season Richmond will be cut out. of a large number of Sunday and holiday dates if the city is included in the new league. This will mean a heavy loss in revenue. 1:. has been suggested that the business men of the city, back the club financially by purchasing season tickets, which would start the season with the cluh treasury in a healthy condition. Another expense the club musi antics pate if the city is included in the r.evt circuit is the rrnve"'Tvr expenses. On some nips the team wouM he awat ivom home twelve or fi'ifen .!;,.

SHERITFS Are Enforcing the Law With Care and Dispensing Drinks Charily. SEEM EARNEST IN MATTER. Mtincie, Ind.. Jan. L'k Kvcry saloon keeper in Muncie is a deputy sheriff, and each was presented a. badge yesterday afternoon with the inscription "Deputy Sheriff on it. Ir was on this condition that the civil and military authorities consented to the reopening of tne saloons that had been i-lo.-od for thirteen days. Most of the saloon keepers had been sworn in during the street, car riots as deputy sheriffs, but those who escaped were sworn in yesfrday afternoon. Now it is "up 10" the-e men not only to arrest any violators of the- law on sight, but also to see that they observe the laws. A perjury charge hangs menacingly over the head of any saloon keeper who disobeys the law himself or connives at t he disobedience of it. As a result of this ingenious idea, the saloons last nicht closed promptly at 11 o'clock. To give the saloon keepers full credit, they seem in earnest about the matter for the most part, especially those in the uptown district. They realize that the moment conditions revert to the riotous stag-' their business is doomed and it is their pocketbooks thai are appealing to them.

The campaign being; inaugurated among the physicians of Richmond for better dairy conditions is not the only one in the state. The county hoard of health of Porter county has begun a crusade for pure milk, according to a letter received by Dr. J. X. Hurt v. scent ary of the state board of health. The health board, the letter says, will look after the question of dairy inspection and will see to it thai all dairies are kept in a cleanly condition and that the milk old is pure. Dr. Hurty says there is no particular reason for this action on the part of the board any more than that clean and pure milk is desired. A number of counties of the state are giving consideration to this quest ton now. A letter from Gary says that the authorities tt.ere are starting a movement for pure milk and pure water. Dairies will be inspected and an effort vill be made to have all improvements that are necessary to a pure water supply.

Schmitz, whose conviction on the charge of extort ion was reversed last Wednesday by the Appellate Court, which declared that he was iilegally convicted. The fate of Abraham Ruef and the future policy of the graft prosecution will be determined at a conference to be held between himself and District Attorney Langdon. If the prosecution grants the demand of Ruef for complete immunity, it can proceed with the trial of the other alleged bribers with the aid of Ruef's testimony which is said to be to the effect that he was employed by the corporations as an attorney. If Ruef's demand is refu.-ed ir is probable that the prosecution will have to proceed with the cases without his testimony. If the prosecution should decide to accept Ruef's proposal if is likely That, it will demand more definite testimony than he lias yet given in return for the concession.
