HEINEGABUBLlES PLAY
FAST BASKETBALL

The Heinegabublies played the first
of series of games of basketball with
outside teams at the Armory hall last
night. The Davenport high school
team were their opponents. The con-
test was marked by many interesting
features and it was a fast one from
start to finish. Although the home
team lost 10 to 4, they feel much en-
couraged by the improvement dis
played over former performances. A
feature of the game was the excellent
interference of the other memb bers of
the team that enabled Will Frey to
stand up straight and \unhampered
lay the ball in the basket. Another
sensational play was that made by Ed
Dunavin in long throw from center.
scoring a neat basket at the wrong
end of the hall. Ben Koch also dis
tinguished himself by knocking q
crack off the side line in throwing for
the basket on foul. Louis Rosen-
field has resigned his place on the
team to become manager. He is sue
ceeded by Will Frey.
The management is corresponding
with some of the. fast aggregations
from various parts of the country for
games this spring and a tour is al
ready being planned for next winter.

Senators VIII Take Weeks

Springfield, Ills, March 1. = When
the state senate quit business
it practically adjourned till March II.
No formal motion to adjourn till that
date was passed, because such a reso-

this it could not obtain. So the sena-
tors contented themselves with sign
ing mutual agreement that no legis-
Iative business should be attempted
by those senators who may be here
until March II.
Not many of the senators will be
here next week. Some are going to

Until 7:50 yesterday evening Ferrell
was in the company of his three

time his brothers were asked to re-
tire and Rev. Fathers O'Reilly and
Kelly entered and remained with the
condemned man until he was pro-

evening, and the rites had scarcely

gramme. saying that the ultimate
views of the party would be submit

with the principle of American SOW
ereignty. General Macarthur respond
ed that any Philippine party. under
the present circumstances, should have
the establishment of peace throughout
the islands for its primary object, and
advised the avoiding of the discussion
of other political principles until peace
should be declared. He said the situ-
alton today did not permit the encour-

INDIANA AND THE MOB.
What Will the State Do with the Lynch
ers at Terre Haute?

indianapolis, March 1.-The News
special from Terre Haute says: ''The
important question at Terre Haute is,
what will be done by the authorities
toward Furnishing the men who took
part in the mobbing ank burning of
George Ward, the negroH No one in
the hundreds of men composing the
mob made any effort to conceiT his
identity, either while battering down
the doors of the jail or while hanging
and burning Ward. No masks were
worn. There are few people in Terre
Haute who are not in sympathy with
the mob and its work. although the
burning of the fiend's body, after he
was dead, was regarded as an un-
necessary act.
The more thoughtful people of the
city regret that so many women and
children were permitted to gather on
the bridge and on the banks of the
Wabash, where they witnessed the ex-
ecution and saw all the horrors of
burning the body. There was no
sincere effort made by the police or
the sheriff to stop the mob when it
went after Ward at the jail and there
was little or no effort made to rescue
him from the hands of the men who
dra gged him through the streets.
