The team Of the New Jersey c. c. still leads
the league with q clean record Of victories
and appears to be safely ensconced in first
place. In the association the Brooklyn
team divides first place with the West Indians,
while Columbia Oval has an almost equally

nifty opposed Willis on that occasion the
Bostons made four hits and were shut out.
Winning a game with only two hits is rather

ST. LOUIS, MO-, May 29.-In making
It's final report. the April grand jury re-
views the evidence concerning legislative
boodling. and, among other suggestions,
strongly recommends that more stringent
laws be enacted for punishment of lobby
Ing at the State Capitol, and that the
statute Of limitations be extended to
seven years. It recommends that fran
chises obtained through boodlng methods
be forfeited.
The report says in part:
The testimony we have heard has
We have listened to the confessions OF
State Senator's. and were we at liberty
to make known all they have told the re-
cltal would appnl the citizens Of this
State. Tho venality existing among the
makers of our State laws Is alarming to
those who believe in free government.
Our Investigations have gone back for
twelve years. and during that time the
evidence shows that corruption has been
the usual and accepted thing in State
Legislation, and that, too. without inter-
ference or hindrance, The tendency has
been to hide or to ignore. rather than to
expose and punish this Infamous crime.
Laws have been sold to the highest
bidder In numerous instances that we
have evidence Of We believe that laws
should be passed making 1t unlawful for
lobbyists to ply their profession In the
manner that some of than now operate.
and providing for the forfeiture of fran
chises procured by corrupt methods.
