1t is significant of the value of the spe-

that not one of the deaths was in a
team of the first class, either East or
West. Internal injuries in mass plays
where players piled on top of each
other, dislocated spines, wrenched
necks and kicks on the head were the
principal causes of death. In several

friends who left the Hole in the Wall
yesterday, bent on releasing O'Day
from the Jail here since they passed a

friends were captured hundred miles
northwest of here this morning, with
ten of the horses stolen by O'Day.

The Atmosphere is Not Healthful for

Police.
At police headquarters it has been
unusually quiet for some time past.
Aside from the efforts to suppress
some of the disorderly places in the
city and the running in of a few plain
drunks every day. there is little for
the minions of the law to look after.
The police patrol their beats at night
and their presence has the effect of
keeping would-be violators within
bounds.
An officer who has been on the force
for some time, said Friday night that
the city has not been as free from
crime for long time. There has been
some little petty thieving, but no au-
thentic holdups or burglaries. The
fact is that for some time past the
toughs have given Canton wide
berth, and those that reside in the city
If there are any, go to other points to
ply their trade.
Since the breaking up of the motor
ious gang that operated from Canton
as a central point several years ago
there has been very little burglarizing
in the city or even adjacent to 1t. The
most of that gang are in the peniten-
tiary and the balance of them are scat

deniel that laws are violated in the city
but compared with other towns of its
size, Canton is freer from depredations
than any place in the state.

has been prepared by the president
showing the rights and obligations of
the United States in the isthmus, I'M
der the treaty Of 1916 with New Gren-
ada, to which the so-called Colombian
republic has fallen heir The brief
disclOses some very interesting facts.
It shows that the United States has
always maintained what might be
termed the right Of eminent domain
in the isthmUs, and that the treaty Of
1916 is in effect a concrete expression
OF that principle. The isthmus is al
ready under American hegemony so
far as means of transit and communi-
cation are concerned, and it is Sc
riCus question which President ROOs-
evelt will inquire into, if this country
does not possess the right to open &
canal through Colombian territory.

TORRAAt'n fDa YlUE PRESlDENT

Washington, Sept. 22.-Tha propo-
sition Of Kansas Grand Army men to
urge the nomination Of Judge Eli Tor
rance for the vice presidency next
year as a representative OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic is attracting at
tentiCn in the east and among mem
bers Of the organization it is meeting
with unqualified approval. The Wash.
ingtOn Post, however, the only indie
pendent paper published here, does
not regard the suggestion with favor,
not because Of any ill-feeling toward
Judge Torrance, but because it does
not believe in the Grand Army, as an
organization, having any candidate for
any office.
An editorial today says in part:
Can it be possible that the G. \. r.
in that part of the country where as
in all other sections, it is declared to
be a strictly nOn-partisan Organiza-
ton, is in a scheme like this? Have
the beloved and honored citizens who
compose the G. A. r. and all OF their
companions in arms in that great
struggle for the lite Of the republic,
any reason for segregating themselves
from ether Americans and setting up
as a separate and distinct element Of
electorate? Have they not learned in
Ihirty-eight years that have elapsed
since the curtain rung down Oh that
majestic drama that the great, loyal
heart Of the nation needs nc prOmpr-
ing to grateful remembrance Of them
and is it possible they cannot see that
a movement looking TO a demand for
hOnOrs rather than to cOntinue their
trust in the people would be extreme
" impolitic?
1t is not General Torrance or his
political aspirations that we are dis
cussirg. We could not If We would,
r0r would We if We could, question
any OF the eulogie5 that his comrades
are giving him. But it would be to
the last degree, ineXpedient to run
the Grand Army Of the Republic into
party politics. As individuals, old sol
diers have the same rights and duties
in parties as other citizens; as pa
triOts who saved the union they have
been recipients of more grateful rec
ignition than was ever given to any
other citizens in any other age or
country. They still hold the firmest
ground in the esteem and Warmest
place in the hearts of their country
men. But there would be no more
propriety in their going into politics
banded together. going in as dis
tinct entity, than there would be in
such action b. a church or by any
one OF the great fraternal bodies.'

PRESinEXT ROOSEVELT
Carries a Formidable SO in His Hip
Pocket Wherever tic-
Goes.

New York, Sept. 11.-When Presi-
dent Roosevelt jumped to the wharf
at Ellis Island from the immigration
cutter H. B. Chamberlain and ran for
ward to shake hands with Commits
siOner General Frank P. Sargent a
powerful gust caught the skirts Of his
frock coat and whirled them against
the back of his head
Those standing behind the president
saw sticking out Of his right hip
pocket the handle Of a big revolver.
One of the secret service men quickly
restored the skirts of the presidents
coat to their proper place but the mo-
mentary glimpse the spectators hau
convinced those familiar with such
matters that the handle indicated a
weapon OF heavy calibre.
Those unfamiliar with the presl-
dents custom wondered why he
should go armed when on mission
so peaceful as an inspection Of Ellis
Island. It was explained by one Of the
secret service men however, thai the
president invariably carried a revolver
when he went to a public place. The
president has carried g pistol ever
since he took the oath of Office. after
the assassination Of Mckinley. He
has the greatest faith in the ability
of the dozen or more secret service
agents who guard him, bat prefers to
be armed himself in case of emergen-
cy. This most intimate friends have
known of his practice of carrying a
six-shooter, but some of the secret
service men looked surprised when
they saw the handle protruding from
the presidents pocket.

The Same Old Gun.

The pistol is the black handled
blue Steel, s. caltl"e revolver wlica
he carried when with his Rough Rid
ers IN Cuba. It is the same vita
which he shot q Spaniard, as he telIs
in his history Of the Rough Riders.
When in Cuba he practiced faithfully
with his revolver until he became an
eHcellelt narkeman. Since nat
time, both III Westinghouse in Oys-
ter Bay, the revolver shooting Las
been continued, until the president
can score the bulls eye at nearly ey-
cry shot.
When riding about the country
roads of Washington and Oyster Bay
the president frequently dismOunts
and practices shooting in company
with a secret service man or Ser
geant Mcdonald, one OF the best re-
vOlver shots in the army, who is the
presidents orderly on all such rides.
The presidents ammunition is fur
nished him by the ordnance bureau OF
the army. 1t is especially inspected
and loaded, and the president knows
he can depand upon it in an emer
gency.
The president is not entirely depan-
dent upon his revolver and the secret
