tice games as soon as the ball park at
the east end of State street Is in
shape after the winlor molBturo. He
declares that if a man makes the team
he will have to do so by a strenuous
competition. While there will be
some players hanging around the dia
mond from abroad they will have noth
ing on the local boys, unless they arc
there with better line of goods, llaker
steadfastly refuses to say just now
that any man has a cinch on any po
sition. New Suits Coming.
New suits will be ordered for tiio
team In a Bhort time. The color to be
adopted has not yet been decided up
on, but Baker has a retinue of tailors
and benuty parlor experts arranging
designs to be submitted to the man
agement from- which the choice can
be made. There has been talk of a
cerulean hued suits with yellow trim
mings. Another color that Is popular
with the boys Is a deep vermilion with
white pockets, and stripe and stock
ings. One thing Mnnager Baker is sure
of, and that is that the team Is going
to be a winner, if the bo;"B have to
play in their plow clothes.
Old Team Together.
Mot.t of the members of lost season's
aggregation are still In town, and will
be on hand for the tryouts. McRac,
who played first baao, shortstop and
other positions last season, will prob
ably contribute himself to one of the
places on the team. Mao is big and
good looking, and makes a hit with
the fans, as well as frequent hits with
the bat. Jones, who played a nifty
flint bnse Inst season, can be seen
around town moBt any day with the
Dascball feeling creeping onto his
frame like a disease.
The llaker brothers, Ray Bnd Earl,
will try for the battery force. Kceno,
the child wonder of lost senson, Is go
lug to high school right here in Salem
arid will be in the harness at tho first
trumpet. Humphries, tho rapid-fire
third baseman, Is bcglnlng to coax
his wing Into shape.
Prom Ix8 Angeles a chap by the
name of Joe Murphy soundB like a
uaseball name has written Manager
Baker that I e will be here for the
tryouts. He didn't ask permission to
come Just said he was coming, and
Ttaker grinned, and gave In.
Kansas Youth Here.
Schott brothers a brace of twins
from Kansas, arrived early In the
winter, and say they know something
of the national pastime. Baker says
they look good, and he has Invited
them to tog up In suits and show up
at the earliest practice.
Coming nearer home, there Is Vol
ney White, of Mt. Angel, who has a
reputation all over the vatley. Jack
Bush, of Hopewell, got Btuck on the
Senators style last season having met
up with them a couplo of times, and
has decided that he wants to cast his
fortunes with Bakers bunch! Jack
plays most any position.
George Wlldhrldge, who played on
the Ttlcheeter team In the Eastern
league, has taken up his abode In Sa
lem, and feels the neceBlBty of get
ting Into the game again, He used to
have his picture In the Rochester pa
pers every Sunday.
Shlefer, the local lad, Is aching to
get hold of a bat and mitt, and show
what he can do again this year. Baker
says he will have a chance now very
rthortly.

led a band of girl plekets Id the garment workers' strike In New York. But
the fact that tbe talented and attractive dnughter of so dlslugulshed an Amer

rest gave Miss I.'n Pollette all the prominence she wanted. Being formerly
an actress, she didn't mind It She even took It as a juke. Here you have bet

Under Same Circumstances Again,
Mayor Says He Would Veto Or.
dlnuncc for Extra I'ny.
Although of tho opinion that the
present salary of the city attorney
Is not too large In view of the duties
ho Is required to perform for the
city, Mayor Sleeves declared yester
day that he Is now sorry ho took
such quick action in signing the bill
for tho ordlnanco providing for the
raise of $300 a year and that if the
matter was to come up again under
tire Bame clrcumstnnces he would
veto the bill promptly.
"I do not believe It right and I
don't approve of any public official
seeking a raise In the salary of an
office established when he accepted,"
said Mayor Sleeves. "I bolieve that
when a candidato accepts the office,
he should also accept tho salary that
goes with it and not the first thing
upon entering upon his duties ask for
a raise In salary, I did not approve
of Mr. Page's action from the start,
but upon seeing every councilman
with the exception of one vote to
raUe that salary and that my veto
would have been overridden without
doubt, I simply signed the bill,
Page Must Act Alone.
"Now that Mr. Page's salnry has
beon raised to $1500 per year, I shall
expect him to do the work required
by the city, and he nuiBt do this work
himself. No matter what the case
may be, or how difficult the 'work, I
shall Insist that the cltyi attorney act
alone and any attempt to hire out
side counsel hereafter will be opposed
by me.
"There Is no doubt but what the
duties of the office of city attorney
are many and that some tough legal
nuts are to be cracked frequently.
The salary as It now stands is not
too high in my opinion, but I repent,
the procedure followed by Mr. Page
in securing the raise in salary Is not
In accord with my views.
Councilman Waring Explains
According to Ouncllmnn Waring,
a member of the old oouncll who was
elected to the now body, the budget
contained an extra $300 for use by the
city attorney, but he says that at the
time he voted for the additional
amount he was not under the im
pression that It was necessarily a

STATE FIRE WARDENS

Told Douglas County Citizens to
(io to Warm Place
Tho fight of Howard of Douglas to
have tho appropriation for the, suite

$"r.,000 to $00,000, and another effort
to have tho $24,000 allowance for tho
Oregon naval militia cut out altogeth
er, wero tho only two lively spot In
an otherwise dull session of the house
today. The passing of the general ap
propriation bill, carrying about $1,
200,000 was practically tho only busi
ness tranactod.
Neither of tho two attempts to use
tho pruning knlfo In committee of tho
wholo were nuecemful. Somo members
wanted to have tho entire appropria
tion for the forestry department cut
out on grounds that the forest service
returned nothing to the stao. Also
It was arguod by Dlanchard and
Schucbel that the timber industry
should support Itmdf, and not call on
tho otlior iitalo Industries to contrlbutO
toward Its protection from Are.
'TnderBtand me," said Howard, "I
do not wish to opiose an appropria
tion for the protection of the standing
tlmlxir. But tho Are wardens that this
money goes to pay, do not protect the
timber. Uist summer wo had a groat
many fires In DouglnB county. We
called on tho state Are wardens to
help us, and they told us to go to hell;
that their business was to iBsue per
mits and nmp out tho forests, and not
to put out flres."
Tho Howard aniendincn. was lost on
a tie vote, 20 to 26,
Pelrce sartod the attempt to cut
out the naval militia approprla'loii by
asking that It be cut to 110,000. The
debato that followed was mostly on
tho merits of tho naval mlllt'a Itpelf.

ways and means committee 'bat to cut
the amount from $21,000 to $10,000
would vlr.milly do uwuy with tho mil
itia, and moved to strike out the Item
altogothor.
A hot debate ensued on til's quest Ion
some of the scandal allege! to hnve
taken place on board tho cruiser Bos

Mexican Congress Tonight Will
Consider the Fate of
Former President.
LOOK FOR AN "ACCIDENT"
Wife Is Assured That He Is Still Alive
(iovernment Treasury Shows
an Immense Deficit.
UNITED MESS LEASKD W1RB.1
Washington, Feb. 21. President
Taft has prevented the execution of
Francisco I. Madero, deposed presi
dent of Mexico temporarily at least.
This fact was developed here this af
ternoon, when it was authoritatively
stated that United States Ambassador
Wilson was notlfed fore than 36
hours ago of this government's oppo
sition to any plan to execute Madero.
General Huerta was notified, and he
advised the American ambassador that
Madero's fate would be settled only af
ter careful consideration
It was, stated that humanitarian mo
tives prompted President Taft to In
tercede In Madero's behalf. After he
had acted the president received a
telegram from Manuel Rajos, grand
master of Mexican Masons:
"Ab a brother Mason I as!: you to
Intercede In behalf of Madero."
Mexico City, Feb. 21. President
Huerta, of Moxlco, today assured
Senora Madero that her husband, the
deposed president, Is in no Immediate
danger of execution. Madero's wife is
prostrated, and is under the care of a
physician. Huarta's assurance was
given out of sympathy for her condi
tion. Congress tonight will consider Ma
dero's fate. It Is generally ex
pected that he will not be formally ex
ecuted, but that If be Is to be slain
his death will come between here and
Vera Cruz, the troops having him In
chargo reporting a "fatal accident," or
that he was killed while attempting to
escape.
It is reported the government treas
ury shows a deflci of 6,000,000 pesos,
for which Madero will bo compelled
to account.
EI Paso, Texas, Feb. 21. Francis I.
Madero, deposed president of Mexico,
and Frederlco Don Gonzales Garcia,
deposed governor-general of the Mex
ico City district, will be slain within 48
hours, according to private advlcns re
ceived hore today from Mexico City.
Garcia Is accused of grafting from
the army, and Is reported to bo respon
sible for most of the 6,000,000 pesos of
a treasury deficit.
The dispatches received here say
that President Huerta will not order
the execution, hut that Madero and
Garcia will die under tho "fugitive
law."
