HOW wAsHBURN LOST.
Thought They Had an Easy Thing
With Emporia, and Began "Play-
ing Horse, and Were Defeated.


The team from the Emporia Normal
took a ragged game from Washburn
Saturday by the score OF II to II. The
Blues had read the score of st. Joe vs..
Normals and thought they had a snap.
The first exciting point in the after
Moons performance was when the En-
poria team attempted to play Page at
short. Page is a negro who lives in
Topeka, but who had Registered at
the Normal. The visiting team with
drew him and Washburn went on with
the game. The Topeka players started
in to play ball and in three innings had
scored nine runs and held the visitors
down to two. Then the fireworks and
balloon plays commenced. Washburn
scored no more for five innings and
Emporia kept pounding the ball out into
the field and over the fence until the
score stood at an even dozen. Both
teams played ball in the field like
children. Wild throws and punches
of a half dozen errors in succession
on the part of both teams kept the ball
rolling round the field and the runners
crowding each other to run the bases.
1t looked as if the ball might roll out

WELL RECEIVED BY LUGAR.
The Railway Manager Promises to
Give Attention to Requests
Made by Employees.

General Manager John G. Lugar, of
the Wilmington City Railway Company,
made solid hit with the emplooes OF
his line by his courteous treatment of a
committee representing them in con-
ference on Thursday evening. The COM
mittee consisted of George Hall, Nelson
Craig and Horace Grouff. Their business
with manager Lugar was to ask him Tor
an increase of three cents an hour in
wages and to submit to him certain
grievances.
The committee was received by the
general manager in way that was a
pleasant surprise to them.
Mr.. Lugar listened to the committed
requests and complaints. He assured the
men that it was a surprise to him to
know that such an unsatisfactory state
of affairs existed. He promised the COM
mittee to lay the matter before the
directors OF the road at an early date.
While Mr.. Lugar did not promise the
men an increase Of wages, he promised
to investigate the many grievances ofthe
employees and take steps tending. toward
an adjustment of the unpleasant
points.
The members of the committee left the
office feeling that they had been treated
as gentlemen by their employer and feel
assured that he will assist in the redress
of some of the grievances.

there were no established laws binding
all maritime powers on the subject of
the rights OF neutrals to carry on trade
with belligerent countries or on the rights
Of belIigercnts regarding the trade Of
neutrals.
1T has been repeatedly proposed that
the points of international maritime law
now in dispute should be settled by inter-
national agreements, but attempts in this
direction haze always failed owing to the
difficulties arising from the divergent
views OF the powers. As recently as The
Hague conference an attempt was made
to consider these questions with the re-
suit that 1t was ultimately decided to en-
deavor, through international confer
ences, TO regulate on the one side the
rights and duties of neutrals and ON the
other the question Of private property at
| sea.
"The German empire will not withhold
It's concurrence and support If, with the
cooperation OF the others powers, it
would appear possible by means of an
international agreement to get nearer a
settlement OF the disputed points of mari
time law. At present the interpellator
is only too justified In saying that the
maritime law is still very flexible and
elastic, is very defective and has numer'
Gus gaps which, in critical moments, are
| only too often filled up by the applica'
tion of naval force. In word, in the
domain Of maritime law might has by
no means yet been conquered by right

case. Secretary Wigglesworth quaran-
tined the house,
1t will probably be couple OF days
before the nature OF the disease is fully
determined.
In casting around to find out where
the woman caught the disease it is
thought that the contagion may be
traced to DIR. d. /. McColley.
1t is surmised that the woman caught
the disease while undergoing an opera
tion at the Delaware Hospital in which
DIR. McColley assisted DIR. j. A. Draper
in performing it.
At the time that the operation was
performed DIR. McColley was attending
smallpox patients on Conrad street, and
il is thought the germs OF the disease
were carried into the clinic in the phys-
clans clothes.
While OF course, the above is only
supposition and theory, yet it is said to
hold good.
From his house DIR. McColley con-
versed over the phone last evening. He
said that he assisted in the operation on
the Taylor woman, but could not ac-
count for her catching the disease from
him.
The sick woman has been in i'll health
for several weeks. She returned from
Delaware Hospital about ten days ago,
after having undergone an operation.
Last Wednesday she was feeling badly
and went again to the hospital. The
physicians there tod her that they could
find no we'll defined trouble, but gave
her some medicine. She returned to her
home and grew gradually worse until
yesterday afternoon at O'Clock, when
DR.. Stubbs was called in. He found her
suffering with all the symptoms OF small
pox.
DIR. McColley is greatly worried over
the circumstances in the Gaze and requests
that all patients he was treating while
he had the smallpox case under treat
ment will get vaccinated without delay.
DR.. McColley's wife is suffering with
the contagion, but her case is of mild
type. The crisis OF her disease will be
next Monday.
1t is a great misfortune for DIR. Nc
Coley. It was the busiest time since his
residence in Wilmington.
Annie Krautter, of No. S06 Conrad
street, who was one OF the first OF the
smallpox victims, continues to improve
every day, and it is expected that she
will be entirely well in week or go.
The latest report from Mrs. Krautter,
who is at the pest house at Farnhurst, il
that she is getting along very we'll.

tncse rights had been changed.
The action, the speaker continued, ap-
penred arbitrary, and II was Germany's
duty TO demand security for her ships in
the future from all maritime nations.
Germany, he pointed out, was SO neutral
that even her arms factories had been
prohibited from supplying the belliger-
ents. The present case afforded q rare
spectacle Of the unity of all parties.
Great Britain had not always maintsined
the neutrality marking Germany's pres
ent attitude, and Englishmen should take
care not TO draw on themselves the ha-
tired Of the civilized world. This state
ment was greeted with loud cheers.

marks, had justly pointed out the feel
ing Of annoyance which the seizure OF
