planning to give baseball a "good (
'housecleaning," and continued: i

PAVING LAJOIE'S BALARY
Cleveland Club Unable to Pay $!),0(>0
Called For
That Connie Mack has not assumed
the entire contract of is a be
lief based on th e fact that the Cleve
land Club made that sort of an arrange
ment with the s>t. Louis Club, last sea
sou, but thwarted the transac
tion by refusing to go to St. Louis.
Cleveland wanted to get rid of Lajoie,
but while there were several clubs that
were willing to take him. ali balke l
when they learned the veteran wa>
drawing $9,000 a year, and that his
contract- did not expire until th>o close
of the season of 1916.
As a special inducement. Owner
Somers offered to pay $4,000 of the sal
ary. leaving $5,000* for the St. Louis
Club to settle. This wm agreed ii,on.
but when Lajoie was notified to join the
St. Louis team he refused, and the deal
ft/ through.
It is moat likely that a similar ar
rangement has been made with the Ath
letics, for there is no way to figure thai
Ui.joie at the present stage of his ca
reer is worth the salary he is drawiug,
yet he has a contract which must be
fulfilled, and as Connie Mack has been
j under obligations to Charley Somers
i lor many vears, lie is willing to help
! him out. —Washington Star.

HERO OF NEW YORK SUBWA Y PANIC AND RESCUE OF ONE OF THE VICTIMS
lu the great subway disaster in New York city sixty-thousand persons staggered through the darkened subway tube to stations, hundreds of per
sons trapped in two trains were made unconscious by poisonous smoke and a large sectiou of the city was thrown into chaos. Never has the city suffered
such a paralysis of traffic and never has there been an accident in the city with such widespread effect. Panic seized a thousand or more men or women
| packed iu two trains when great volumes of flames and smoke shot out into the subway. Those who were not trampled upon in the fight to dive out of
windows and doors were overcome by the dense smoke. Girls and delicate women fought for life and were trodden under foot. For hours police reserves
j and firemen endangered their lives bringing these helpless ones to the street, where ambulance surgeons from all hospitals and scores of volunteer physicians
: worked over thetu. One marvellous part of the whole affair was that ouly one life was lost, that of a woman.

Coal Complaints
Sometimes accidents will happen no dif
ference how hard one tries to prevent them.
Occasionally a person will order coal not suited
for the purpose intended and they will not'get good
results.
Or the driver may he careless in the delivery and
you get coal put into your cellar in a manner that
displeases you, etc.
It' you have a complaint bring it direct to ua.
Five minutes spent in our office will get results
for customers where five hours' discussion with your
neighbors will lead to nothing except toward depriv
ing us of the good will which we need in order to
serve the public to the best of our ability.
