THE EZETA CASE.

by south America Governments.
There are indications that the Ezeta
case WILL become as celebrated in diplo-
masic history SIS the Barrundia affair. and
certainly there il reason to believe that il
will result In causing our government 10
assume a definite position in the matter Of
the right of asylum. Although the status
quo IL maintained at La Libertad and
the Salvadorian refugees. with one excep-
ton. are still safe on the L. s. g. BenninS-

statement that the Saivadorian provisional
government has determined to press to the
end its demand for the surrender of Gen.
Antonio Ezeta. the vice president of the
late government II Is likely that the other
refugees will not be included In the de-
mand So far the negotiat tons between the
two governments have been conducted with
much difficulty through our consul at La
Libertad and Capt. Thomas of the BenIing-

portance that according to reliable advices.
the Salvadorlsn government has determined
10 place II in the hands of a high diplo-
matte representative.

lions.
Accordingly IL has requested Dr. Guz-
man to assume the position OF Salyadorian
minister at Washington. and to conduct
the negotiations with the State Depart
ment relative TO the Ezeta case. DIR. Guz-
man is at present the minister resident Of
Nicaragua here. and the tender from the
Salvadorian government Is a recognition
of the high diplomatic ability which he has
shown In conducting successfully the deli
cate and complicated regulations which
have characterized the relations between
years. All of the diplomatic representa-
tives of Central and South American coun-
tries are deeply interested in the outcome
OF the Ezeta case as having a future ap-
plication to their own countries and there
fore they are gratified at the action of the
Salvadorian government In taking steps to
have their case properly presented TO the
United States DIR. Guxman, II is under

HARRY SAUTER'S SENTENCE,
The President Comm utcs the Time Of
His ImprisOn ment.

In the case Of Harry Sauter convicted
In the District of carrying concealed weap-
ons and sentenced. May 1 last to be i'm
prisoned 120 days and 10 pay a fine Of $40
and In default Of payment Of fine to be i'm
prisoned 12O days additional the President
has commuted the sentence to three
months actual Imprisonment. In acting
on this case the President says: Il desire
to uphold those charged with the execution
of the criminal law In their efforts to pre-
vent and punish the ofrense of carrying
concealed weapons, but in view of all the
circumstances of this case / believe the
lesser term to which the Imprisonment Of
this convict has been reduced is abundantly
sufficient"
Sauter was employed at the government
printing Oflce and went on a spree because
young lady named Davis refused to marry
him. She passed him on the street one day
and he produced a pistol and fourishel II
The weapon was taken from him and he
was arrested Miss Davis and Mrs. Rey-
noids (her mother) joined with others in
the application for clemency to the prisoner.

cant evidences of the revived interest
in baseball, to say nothing of the gen.
eral awakening of curiosity as to what
the duties of an umpire ought to be,
as distinguished from what they have
heretofore been supposed to be. From
present indications the umpiring in
the national league this season will be
more satisfactory than umpiring has
vet proved, circumstance which will
not fail TO raise the standard of the
umpire himself wherever baseball is
played Poor umpiring has really been
the bane Of the national game In for
mer seasons Local prejudice has been
brought in, with the result that man
might be pushed in through favoritism,
and it is superhuous to point out that
no matter where or by whom a game
is played such a situation is fatal to
respect for the umpire's decisions, be he
who he may.
In this account of what believe the
umpire's functions to be 1 Will dwell
upon the national leagues experience
in that line, because thereby the hints
implied will be more valuable than a
mere recital of my own opinions
There being twelve Clubs in the Ma
tional league, with six umpires and but
two substitutes, it has been found that
the tendency was to select pet umpires
at the instance of particular clubs.
Another trouble has been the license
allowed un1pires and the disfavor into
which they would be brought through
open criticisms of malcontents. OF
course the position of umpire is most
difficult one to be put into. Neverthe-
less in the organization of small clubs
and minor leagues too little attention
is given to the umpire question. Until
quite recently both amateur and pro-
fessional players looked upon the UNI
pire as man to be abused at will. 1t
is not too much to say that most UNI
pires have been cowed into trying to
nvoid collision with players rather
than to umpire the game justly. have
always maintained that an umpire &C.
cupies the most important position on
p nine. It looks this year as if the Ma
tional league had taken decided step
not only in insisting upon better umpir-
ing but in protecting umpires them
selves. The umpire's decision in base
ball is absolute. That is the first thing
all enthusiasts should bear in mind.
1t makes no difference what the
opinions of individuals, may be.
ANY organization which does not |
keep sight of this fact is destined to
have good sized infraction of disci-
pline on its hands all the time. The
umpire's ruling carries with it the same
force that the referees does in prize
fight or presiding judges at race
track. There is no going behind it.
of course, if an umpire renders an
illegal decision In the National league
any club may appeal against it to Mr..
Young, when the matter will be inves-

tigated and settled, and ! anticipate
much definite settlement of vexed ques-
tions through this arrangement and
the decisions in such cases as may arise
should be attentively studied. But in
ninety-nine cases out of hundred the
unpire's decision will be found 10 be
final. In very rare instances only
would the board override. Practical
baseball men look upon the appoint
ment of Harry Wright to the position
of umpire chief as one of the best that
could be made. Innovations of this sort
are generally criticised, but in creating
this new Office not one word of disap-
proval was heard. l recognize, of
course, that Harry Wright is one of the
most popular men in the baseball
world. yet am convinced that sympa-
thy had nothing to do with the general
rejoicing that has followed the honor
conferred upon him.
This move. while at present affecting
the National league only, will be beue-
fetal to all baseball men, and will GER
tainly mean the raising of the umpire
to his proper level to which he has
never yet attained. / maintain that the
office Of chief of umpires viii live as
long as the game itself. and will make
1t the game of the world. Few realize
how universal baseball is becoming in
view of its becoming popular in Eng
land and of its selection as the national
game of Japan.
a clearer idea OF what the umpire's
duties really are may be gained by
consideration OF what Mr.. Wright's
duties are. Heretofore President Young
had control not only of the uInpires
but of the league schedule. Mr.. Wright
will be OF material assistance under
the new order, for he Is a sort of travel
ing minstrel. fleeing from town to tow

do when the six championship games

umpires are told what is needed Of
them. The umpiring in the league viii
