8 ROTE IN LINE-UP AGAINST HAZLETON-BENNY KAUFF NOT WITH NEW YORK GIANTS KAUFF REFUSES TO TAKE ORDERS Is Not With Giants; Must Re port Before April 12 to Keep in Game Sptrial lo tht Telegraph New York, March 4. —New York was a clearing house for three major league clubs yesterday when repre sentatives of the New York Giants, Boston Braves and Philadelphia Na tionals gathered hero and embarked ( on journeys to their respective train ling camps in the warmer regions of this country. Notwithstanding the many reports to the contrary. "Bennle" KaulT elected mot to pay any attention to the orders to report for spring training, and therefore was not on hand to travel with the Giants, who left this morn ing. This oversight automatically costs Kauff SIOO, a tine stipulated in each contract to cover this offense. Should Kauff continue to ignore the offers and orders of the Giants until after the opening of the season. April 1, he, according to the National Eeague constitution, must be placed upon the Ineligible list. This means that Kauff will be "blacklisted" as far as organ ized baseball is concerned. Tie is con sidered part and parcel of the New York baseball club and as such it will be impossible for him to dicker with any other organization under the na tional agreement. This doss not. worr;" Kauff to any degree, according to his own state ment. At his hotel he said that he -had received orders to start, for Mar- Jin. but that he ignored these orders "hecause he. did not recognize the right of the Giants to issue any such com mands.

NO ADVANCEMENT OF STATE FUNDS Attorney General Brown De cides Against Proposed System Tlie opinion given to Auditor Gen eral Powell ' yesterday by Attorney General Brown, in which he decides against the proposed system of ad vancement of funds to departments of the State government from appro priations, has attracted much atten tion at the Capitol. The Attorney General says in his conclusion: "The act of June 2, 1915, contem plates a payment by the State Treas urer, out of the State Treasury, by way of advancement agaiust a specific ap propriation, and it cannot be held that money has been paid out of the State Treasury and is at. the same time in the State Treasury; that it has been paid out of an appropriation and has not been paid out at all. Kxcept for the act of June 2, 1915. there would bo no warrant in law for any such ad vancement. That act requires that the advancement shall bo paid out of the appropriation made to a department, bureau ,ete. If there is more than one appropriation to such department, board or bureau, the advancement will have to be made out of and charged against a particular and specific ap propriation or item of appropriation and the fund so advanced cannot be used for any ether purpose than t » particular purpose set forth in ti j items of appropriation. "You are therefore advised that the proposed method of drawing a gen eral advancement, keeping account of It in tho nature of an advancement account, and charging it against spe cific items of appropriation only when the vouchers ore returned, Is not in conformity with law. f.nd could not legally be put in force."

Haskin [Continued from Ed Mortal Page.] ers have their own ideas as to liow tho situation should be handled. Many of them do not boliovo that tho arid lands still open to entry can sup port a farmer. Six hundred and forty acres of such land will only run about forty or fifty cattle, and that is not enough for a family to live on, even in this day of high beef prices. So some stockmen hold that settlors should not be encouraged to take up any great part of tho land now available. The National Wool Growers Asso ciation recommends that the Interior Department classify all the land loft open into two classes — that suitable for agriculture, and that suitable for Brazing. Then the former should ho parcelled out in whatever size units are necessary to support homestead ers, and the latter withdrawn from entry entirely, to be leased for grazing purposes. Such a proceeding would stabilize the stock business as at pres ent constituted, for under the present system a stockman does not know when his range will be settled on by homesteaders. The stockmen say also that this course would save many a homesteader from wasting his time and his money on land that could never yield him an adequate return. On the other hand, the States with ! public land in them have a strong ! sentiment in favor of homesteading as | much land as possible. If 040 acres I will not support a family, they say, hlien give them 1280. The western | States want homes, they want taxable | property developed, and new citizens I to throw their interests in with those lof the section. All the legislation In i favor of the grazing homestead has I originated with Western Senators I and Representatives. The present 640 acre bill was introduced last, year by tho late Sir. Ferguson of Mexico, and this year by Mr. Tayloi* of Colorado—both States with ini- I niense tracts of public land. In Its relation to the emigration problem, there is little doubt that a measure by which a man could take up f>4o acres and farm as much of it. jas possible, using the rest to run j sheep and cattle, would prove very | attractive to the homesteader, and turn many eyes from Canada to our I own West. Another bill which will have tho I same effect is one to make It possible for a boy or girl of eighteen to take up a homestead. The present mini mum ago is twenty-one for anybody who is not the head of a famly. Can ada has a law setting the minimum age at eighteen, and many young Am ericans have taken advantage of the opportunity to start in life three years earlier than is possible in their own ; country. The Canadian law in this respect is particularly liberal. It pro vides that if the young homesteader is living with his parents on a sec tion of land adjoining the one he wants to homestead, he can live at home and still fulfill the residence re quirements of the homestead act. Under the proposed law in this country, the homesteader will not have to begin living on his or her claim until he is twenty-one years old, but he cannot take out a final patent and possess the land until he is twenty-four. In other words, all that he can do at eighteen is pick out his land and make sure that nobody else gets it. He can of course also live on it in the mean time if he de sires, make a home, and improve it as much as he cares to. In this way, the bill is expected to prove a strong supporter of the "back to the farm" movement. A boy with 160, or 640 acres of the great outdoors for his own is not likely to go to town and get a Job as a ribbon clerk. There Is no doubt but that the as . pects of the public land question have changed greatly in the last two or ' three decades. The public land made 1 half the nation, and it is still a vital question in the West. On its proper ; solution depends tho prosperity of a great section of the country.
