COUP TIBBIES TELLS
Argued Against Plan' for
Harpers Ferry; "tails. to
' Convince
OMAHA. (AP) Had John
Brown taken the advice' of a
young colleague, a 'student at
Mount Union college, Ohio, he
would not have raided Harper's
Ferry and his fame would have
gone with his body to the grave.
The student was Thomas H.
Tibbies, now 86, and one of the
few liivng survivors of the battles
of "bleeding Kansas."
"While I was in college," Tib
bies relates, "Brown, who had
taken a fancy to me, sent a note
asking that I meet him. He
showed me a constitution and set
of laws and divulged a plan to
capture the arsenal at Harper's
Ferry, arm the negroes, and set
up a new government.
"I argued against the plan, and
when we parted I thought he had
abandoned it."
Tibbies learned later that he
had not dissuaded Brown, but his
advntures with the abolitionist
crusader were only on chapter in
his tumultous youth.- He ran
away from home at the age of six
laaded in Kansas on an immigrant
train, and joined the anti-slavery
band in the border wars. Several
times ha, was captured and des
tined for hanging, but he escaped
to become a missionary after the
Civil war. and to edit The Omaha
Herald after 1876, espousing the
cause of the Indian. His editor
ials attracted such attention that
the Populist party nominated him
for vice president In 1904.

New York Teams, Cards and
Reds Hard Hit by Absence
of Players
NEW YORK, ' March 1 2 (AP)
The ' major league training
grind came to the end of its third
week today in a drum fire of con
tract wars which already have
pierced the . fortifications of at
least a half dozen club treasuries.
The New York clubs, the St.
Louis Cardinals, and Cincinnati
Reds annear the, most seriouslv In
volved in fighting off the assaults j
of the "holdout league.. i
Qf this quartet, the Yankees
seem likely to suffer most damage.
Three of their stars. Herb Pen
nock, crack southpawr Urban
Shocker, veteran right hand pitch
er, and Outfielder Bob Meusel, are
battling for big pay increases.
Each is said to demand a $20,000
salary.
Salary Jumps already have been
conceded many of his regulars by
Colonel Jacob Ruppert. Yankee
owner. Babe Ruth extracted a
$210,000 contract for the next
three years after asking $100,000
for the 1927 campaign. Outfielder
Earl Coombs was next to fall in
line after a long pen-and-ink duel,
while Tony Lazzeri, Mark Koenig
and Joe Dugan also were listed in
the holdout brigade for a time,.
Critics- consider as even more
serious the salary differences of
Eddie Roush with the Giants. The
former Red outfielder, obtained
in a deal which sent George Kelly
to Cincinnati, is perennial holdout,
but this year his fight appears
more serious than usual, for base
ball men hear he is demanding
$30,000 and a three year contract.
President Stoneham's original of
fer to Roush was $19,000 on a'
three year basis, which was the
figure Eddie demanded from the
Rejis. -
Tommy Thevenow, brilliant
shortstop of the Cardinals, de
mands considerably more than the
$5000 he received a year ago, and
refuses to accept a three year con
tract calling for a sliding scale of
increases. The club's figures,
starting at $5500, do not strike
Tommy as being sufficiently gen
erous. Hughie Critz, Spark Plug of the
Cincinnati infield, asks a three
year contract paying him $60,000v
to which President Hermann thus
far has declined to yield.

Ex-Coast Leaguers
May Join Senators
Jerry UoMman and Ralph Cole
man Likely Candidates
" Two former Coast league ball
players who may sign up with the
Salem Senators for the coining
season are Jerry Goldman, out
fielder, and Ralph Coleman, pitch
er, according to information di
vulged Saturday by Manager
"Frisco" Edwards.
v Goldman played professional
ball for the first time with Ed
wards in 1919 in Canada, and
later was with the Oakland club
in the Coast league. He has play
ed with Spokane in the Northwest
league, and last year was one o!
Longview'B heaviest sluggers In
the Timber league.
Coleman's ability needs no de
scription here, and he indicated
while in Salem this week officiat
ing at state tournament basket
ball games, that he would like tc
wear a Senator uniform.
The squad will hold anothei
workout this afternoon at 2
o'clock If the weather is favor
able, and next Sunday Edwards
will have his out of town player
all here and probably will stage p
game between the "regulars" and
the "yannigans." 'A practice gam,
may be played with an outside
team the next Sunday, and the
week after the City league seasor
opens.

EUD'S LITERARY
STARS IN SQUABBLE
Shakespeare, Bennet, Swln
. bourne and Others Figure
in Day's News
LONDON. (AP) Past and
present represented by chester
tpn,; Swinbourne, Arnold Bennett
and Shakespeare, figure in the
literary news of England. -
Pennett started a row in liter
ary circles when he declared
England's younger writers are too
lazy to produce worthwhile stuff,
and urged them to go to work.
Desmond Coke, who is neither
young nor old, retorted that Ben
nett might have produced better
work if he had not written so
much.
Speaking to the Delphian Co
terie, G. K. Chesterton said he
wished to contradict two legends
about himself.
"The first is that I believe that
the Middle ages were a sort of
golden age," he said, "and the
second is that I have a very vio
lent and unjust prejudice against
Jews. A great many of my very
intimate friends are Jews and a
great many of my favorite com
panions are Jews. A great many
of my favorite villains are medi
eval people."
Discovery of a long poem writ
ten by Swlnbourne when he was
21 years old, in completion of the
infi Kd fragment of "Hyper
ion tJT Keats, and the theory
that William Shakespeare model
ed Falstaff upon his own father,
John Shakespeare, are the echoes
from the past.
The youthful Swlnbourne effort
never was published, but has been
edited by Georges Lafourcade, a
professcr of the Institute Francais
in London, and will appear soon
with a new critical essay on Swin
bourne. Delving into records of Strat-ford-on-Avon.

Shakespeare was alderman, the

that he was afraid to go to church
for fear of being serVed with a

One Street or Women's Ap
parel and Another for
Men's in South
DALLAS. Texas. (AP) Wo
men and their shoping habits have
caused a revolution in store fronts
and store rentals.
Dallas has a "woman's street"
and a man's street," and the ren
tals are higher on the former than
on the latter.
A Dallas real estate firm, which
specializes tn business property
throughout the southwest, has.
completed a survey revealing that
stores catering to women pay
higher rentals than those selling
men's goods.
The south side of a certain Dal-
f.
WOMEN

M I!
LETTS fcCHUOSerPO v
las street is lined with women's
wear shop and this street draws
twice as many- shoppers as the
thoroughfare where the men's
stores are concentrated.
For this, and other reasons, the
women's street fcrings higher
rentals. There is greater profit
in the, commodities women buy
than in those which may be class-"
ed as exclusively male. Bringing
greater profit, the women's shops
are. more numerous and compete
tion for space, therefore, is keen
er, the survey discloses.
The reason for the larger pro
fit in women's wear is that wom
en buy novelties, their styles
change frequently, thefr artistic
styles change frequently, their ar
tistic tastes and temperaments de
mand greater variety and more
changes, and the caprices of trade
demand that the merchant in
these lines sell his goods this sea
son before new styles and fashions
overtake him, the survey points
out. Men's goods are more staple
and. the carry-over risk is not so
great.
Women's trade may be affected
by the slightest obstacles, the ex
perience of this firm indicates. A
step to the front entrance, a few
feet out of the beaten path, and
the merchant is lost. One Dallas
merchant went bankrupt after
moving his store because the new
location had a step at the front
entrance, and shoppers do not like
to step up.
Shopping traffic in the south
west in Dallas especially, moves in
straight lines, not turning cor
ners. The report says that shop
pers will not nass dead walls, that
they follow the store fronts.
Largest Earthen Dam

(AP) Like the ugly witch who
turjied out to be a good fairy, an
unsightly wall of dirt, the largest
earthen dam in the world, has
been a necromancer for the arid
region of northwestern South Da
Kota. Built in the Roosevelt adminis
tration, it made a garden spot of
the country it serves, and turned
range country into a garden spot
where orchards, small grain and
alfalfa have brought prosperity.
Now a sugar beet factory is going
up near here and much idle land
is being cultivated for beet pro
duction. The orman dam. one of the
early federal irrigation projects,
stretching for 6493 feet and is
115 feet high at its most abrunt
point. A milion and a half cubic
yards of earth went into it. and
cost $1,235,000. The 203.000
acre feet of water stored in tbe
basin it forms are carried through
