Has Not Come Up to ExpeCta-
tiOnS This Season and Me-
Phillips Takes His Place.
RELEASE is TEMPORARY
McPhiIIlps, who Takes ROcheIIe's Place, ls
of Manhattan College and Is In Good
Formulas Been In This City Before
MariOns will be up Against Star A. C.
of Newark, Saturday.

The voice of the fan has been heard
by the Management of the Marions and
his counsel has been needed. Begin
ming next Saturday now pitcher will
be on the firing line and Gus
Rochelle will go into temporary re-
tirement. The work of Rochelle this
season has not come up to expectations
for the simple reason that he has not
been in condition to pitch.
He has been unable to field his posi-
tion properly owing to the weakness
of his legs and the speed with which
he used to deliver the ball has gone
because of the ravages of typhoid.
When a man reached first for the
visitors it was possible for him to
steal second and third with ease be-
cause Rochelle could not get the ball
away from him with any degree of
alacrity.
His slowness was beginning to have
demorallzing effect on the team and
change was seen to be imperative.
So it was decided with much regret,
because of his faithful services in the
past, to release Rochelle temporarily
and secure another pitcher.
This has been done and today the
management of the Marions announces
that McPhlllips, of Manhattan Col
lege, will be the regular pitcher of
the locals hereafter. McPhillips is no
stranger here, having pitched several
games for the Marions. He pitched
the game against Orange last year in
which the visitors won by score of
to l. With fair support McPhillips
would have shut Orange out that day
as he let them down with five hits
and struck out nine men. Last year
he was with the Plattsburgh team of
the Northern New York League and
this year he has been pitching fine
ball for the Manhattan College team.
He has had offers from several East
ern League teams, but he decided to
remain in New York this summer and
pitch only one game a week. The
offer of the Marions was acceptable to
him and he says he is glad to come to
Perth Amboy.
With McPhillips in the box there is
no semi professional team in the
vicinity of New York that has any
thing on the Marions. Saturday he
will oppose the Star A. o. of Newark,
Que of the oldest teams in New Jersey.
The calibre of the Stars was exhibit
ed Sunday when they easily defeated
Carsey's West New York team. They
will probably have Kinney who de-
feated the Marions last season for
Milburn, in the box, and Healey as
catcher. The Stars are playing good
ball and will give the fans lone on
McPhillip's ability as q twirling
artist.

Water Struck at the Well Being
Driven at RunyOn Yesterday
and is Very Satisfactory.
WILL BEGIN SECOND.
The Flow from the one lust compleled
does not Affect the Flow Of tie Others
and 0ffiCiaIs Of the Water Department
are Happy-May have Still More Wells
Driven in the Vicinity.

Another excellent stream of water
was struck at the depth of 220 feet at
the Runy on pumping station yeatsr-
day and from all appearances it is
estimated that a supply of 225. 900
gallons has been added to the city
water supply. Contractor Bennett had
been waiting for clear day, and yes
terday, being the first for some time,
he took advantage Of it and when the
water was struck it shot up twenty
feet in the air.
Today the water is running as clear
as the other wells. A meter has been
kept on the well closest to the new
one for the past 48 hours to see If IL
has any effect on the old one, and
since the new was tapped it has shown
an increase of one gallon minute so
that Water Superintendent Burns was
jubilant when seen this morning.
Contractor Bennett will begin to
drive the other well as soon as the
weather clears up and it is quite like
ly that Alderman Runyon will ask to
have two more wells driven at the
next meeting of the Council.

SQUADRON AT KEEL.
AMERICAN SHIPS GREETED BY
PRINCE HENRY.
Visitors Sa1uted by kaiser's Fleet
German Ships Fly Stars and Stripes
-Four Blocks in New York City to

The United States European squadron
Rear Admiral Cotton i'll command, reach
ed it's anchorage opposite the yacht club
house at kiel, Germany. The fleet com
manded by Admiral Prince Henry of
Prussia, consisting of eight battleships
and six cruisers, saluted the American
vessels, and the band of the German flag
ship played America" Hundreds of
the townspeople gathered on the piers
and slopes of the narrow bay and cheer
ed as the squadron arrived. Prince Hen
ry sent his navigating officers and the
captain of the port down the bay early
in the morning to greet the Americans.
They met the latter at Orlateau as the
squadron was firing its first salute off the
fort of Friedrichsort. The flagship Kear-
sarge swung into her mooring next to
the Hohenzollern, followed by the San
Francisco, the Chicago and the Machias.
All the German ships were dressed in
the visitors honor and flew the Stars
and Stripes. The Stars and Stripes were
also raised over the yacht club and on
the hotels in the vicinity. The com
manders of the American ships called on
Prince Henry, who Immediately return
ed their calls.

Government May ACT in United States
Ship Building Company Tangle.
The government of the United States
is interested to the extent of $l5,OOO,-
GOO in the proposed reorganization of the
United States Shipbuilding Company,
having war craft to that valuation under
contract in the various yards, and may
take some positive stand in the matter.
In every contract between the govern
ment and shipyard there is a clause
providing that in case of delay the Tor
mer may take the details of construction
away from the contractor and complete
the vessel by government officers and en-
ployes. Lewis Nixon, head of the Ship
building Company, who is to retire July
], has stated that there will be no delay
in the work on government contracts, but
if the, bitter fight between the dissent
ing bondholders and the company re-
suits in receivership the delay incident
to the termination of legal proceedings
over the property may be sufficient to
cause the government to take its war
ships elsewhere.

After trial in the Criminal Court, in
which the law and the evidence were
pretty thoroughly threshed out on both
sides, a jury, after celebrating only a
few minutes, acquitted Miss Kate Mason,
principal Of one of the Indianapolis
schools, from the charge of assault and
battery for whipping boy pupil. Under
the strong and clear charge of the court
the jury could not have done anything
else. The courts charge was good law
as we'll as good sense, and the verdict of
the jury was right. The charge was all
good and part of it is worth repeating.
The Judge said:
without the power and authority to
compel by all reasonable means and
methods order and obedience the millions
of dollars spent in this country for the
care and management of our schools
the great bulwark of our country-are as
good as wasted. The law in cases like
this not only presumes that the teacher
is innocent as charged, but the law also
presumes that in this punishment she
has done her duty in the enforcement of
obedience and order in her school.
Do you think or believe that a fine
wrongfully or enormously assessed in
this case will aid the teachers in this
school in their attempt to enforce good
order and obedience, or would it have
tendency to cause others to rebel and
disobey and prosecute, when the teacher
endeavored to compel obedience? The
welfare and best interests of all school
children in this country in the future, the
good of the common schools, law and or
der, each and all demand that you make
no mistake in this case"
The court emphasized the Importance
of sustaining teachers in their efforts to
maintain discipline, and deprecated inter-
ference by parents to prevent reason
able exercise Of authority. 1t pointed out
the fact that under the laws of the State
teachers have the same rights and au-
thority to punish children under their
charge, in a reasonable manner for all
misconduct, that the parent of the child
has, and the law will not interfere unless
the punishment inflicted is cruel and I'M
reasonable. indianapolis Journal

JET JURY DlSAGREES.
Reports Inability to Reach Verdict
and Is Discharged.

When the jury in the Jett-White trial
came into court at Jackson, Ky, third
time Friday and reported that it was I'M
able to agree, Judge Redwne dismissed
the jurors. This was followed by the an
nouncement that the case would be trans
ferred to Cynthiana, Harrison County,
for the second trial.
1t was believed that there was only
one man between the verdict of guilty or
not guilty. 1t was conceded that one
juror was then for conviction and that
the question of punishment had not been
considered. Later the jury again report
ed it was unable to agree and shortly
after 8 o'clock it was discharged. The
dominant faction evidently expected ac-
quittal, but there was at least one juror
who would not so report.
Gov. Beckham was asked on receiving
the news from Jackson what he would
do, if anything. He said: Il cannot say
at this time what l will do. l must re-
fuse to make any statement"

Attempt Said to Have Been Made on
Life of EmDeror


\ dispatch dated at Moscow says re-
ports were current that an attempt upon
the life of the Gar was only prevented
at the last moment the other day, i'll the
palace of Tsarskoe-Selo, on the eve of
the departure of the court for the impe-
rial villa in New Paterhoff. The would
be assassin attempted to gain access TO
the presence of his majesty by DOMINIC
the uniform of a superior officer of the
gendarmerie. There is much mystery
about the affair, which has been hushed
up in fear of its coming to the knowledge
of the Gar who, it is said, has been in
a highly nervous state since the Bel
grade butchery. The Cars uneasiness
over the Belgrade catastrophe arose from
the fact that the regicides were military
officers. About the personality of the
man who attempted to assassinate the
Gear at Tsarskoe-Selo nothing has yet
tranapired and if the police and the
minister of the interior can prevent the
matter from becoming public nothing
more is likely to be heard of him.

and Tells Where Tools Are Hidden.
James A. Cline of Omaha, national
bank examiner, has in his possession a
letter received by the First National
Bank of Pilger, Neb., in which one of
q gang of robbers discloses the plans
of a series of bank robberies in the West
The writer of the letter told where dyna-
mite, nitroglycerin and tools for the rob-
berries had been hidden in Pilger, and the
fact that the bank officials found the stuff
at the place designated leads Mr.. Cine
to believe that the letter is no joke. The
letter in part says: Your bank IS go
ing to be robbed on Their furst cloudy
night that comes. | am trying ter warn
yer. They amt done me square, an L
am sick an tired of this we're life. 1T
youse will look under Their dcpo, youse

wall of your vault en- then bloc Their safe.
These things youse will find as told be-
low on this diagram" GHere the diagram
is drawn) He names long list of banks
throughout the West which his band
planned to rob. The letter is undoubted-
ly genuine and the banks have been no
