 ITO my dear army: On setting foot on the soil Of our dear fatherland. my cradle and the cradle of my ancestors, my heart gives greeting, first to you, the hope of the Servian people. my dear, heroic army.

Frankfort, Ky. June Ex-Governor Beckham, in response to many requests to-day gave out a lengthy statement in reference to his position in the Breathitt county matter. He said tha he was in receipt of many letters from friends and others urging him to use radical meas ures for which there was no warrant of law He said the press had, greatly ex- aggerated the affair presumably be- cause it had occurred in Kentucky, and also for political effect. When these outside critics succeeded in eradicating crime, or at least restricting 1t, in their own states" said he, then we may give them a respectful hearing in their eff forts to tell us how to purify Ken tucky.''

 ButIdings-s3,I11 50 Needed for Re- pairs-Where It Xyiii bo Speut-Extrns
 Needed for Which No Provision Has Been Made.
 The board of education held meet ing last evening ill their rooms on Gen. ter street. The entire board was pres
 ent and the report of the committee on
 school buildings was read and accepted. It was voted to change the name of the old Hillhouse high school to the Orange
 street grammar school. The report of the committee on school buildings was
 as follows:
 The committee on school buildings reports that it has visited all of the
 school buildings in the district, has in- vestigated the need of the repairs and improvements requested by the princi-
 pals, and recommends that it be au- thorized to make the following repairs, the estimated cost of which is here given. ...--. .~\.. The committee further reports that this list comprises about one-half of what needs to be done and about one
 quarter of what should be done to put
 our school buildings in satisfactory condition.
 After crossing off from the, list all work, which, in the judonent of the committee, could be put off for an- other year, your committee found that l the cost of the remaining work was l $5, 496. The amount available for the
 care of the school property forthe bal
 ance of the year is $3,67S. At least $1,-
 900 should be reserved for small repairs
 during the fall term, leaving $2,67S for
 the summer repairs and improvements.
 Your committee then crossed off such
 needed work as would cause the least
 damage to the property by it's omis
 sion, and reduced the expenditure to $3. .1t1.5O. .
 The committee calls particular atten- tion to
 First-That the estimated cost of the | work recommended does not leave a safe margin for the contingencies or
 the fall term. Second-That no improvements are
 recommended.
 Third-That only imperative repairs are recommended.
 Fourth-That no provision is made 1 for
 a. Taking down and removing fixtures ' in Chestnut and Water street stores. b. Fitting up room for ungraded I school. ',',.- c.

 house high schools. | If the above items are to be done,

 it will be necessary to spend this sum

1Continsued on Third Pagel
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-08-06

Harvey Bailey, the big seuthpaw OF
the Columbus pitching staff, is to wear
a st. Paul uniform. A telegram re-
ceived from Manager Mike Kelley last
night announced that he had complet-
ed arrangements with the Columbus
management, and that Bailey is to be
turned over to ST. Paul at once.
Bailey was one of the mainStays of
the Columbus club last season, and at
times this year pitched good ball for
the Senators. The big fellow evidently
was dissatisfied with his berth in Co
lumbus, for he slumped in his work and
only last week was indefinitely sus-
pended for Indifferent playing. The in
side story is not known, but it is known
that Bailey can pitch the real article
of ball, and with team like the Saints
behind him. he should make good.
With Stewart nursing a lame arm,
Bailey is needed on the st. Paul staff.
Rain delayed the Saints yesterday in
their runaway dash through the East
ern provinces, but while the Kelley men
waited Mr.. CantiIlons disheartened
mob kindly collected the frazzled ends
of double bill with the lobster cham
pions.
All this proved a great disappoint-
ment to Mr. Cantillon. His chesty
2 bunch has been getting it in punches,
and in an attempt to right things Mr..
r. Cantillon has returned to the spangies.
He now DISCUSSES himself as ball
player and directs the contests from
the coaching lines. Joseph will prob
ably return to his store clothes today.
Alonzo Hedges, the boy wonder from
Paducah, KY, was largely responsible
for the gloom that pushed down on
Beer City last night. Alonzo blew up
with loud report in the opening round
of the first game and furnished an en-
core explosion in the third round of the
second battle that could be heard all
over Toledo.
This double beating gives the Saints
a lead in the race that will be hard to
overcome in the short time left. The
team has one more game with Indian
apolis, and then, after playing three
with Louisville, they return to their
home grounds

by Orsina last Monday. when it was al

Jockey Treanor and the race allowed to
go to Postmaster Wright.
In the July selling stakes at Haw-
thorne last week. Bondage had been heav-
lily backed by his owner James Arthur,
ran a bad race and complaint was made
that the horse had been tempered with.
An investigation was started by the track
officials and it is claimed that evidence
was secured showing that James Crabb.
an employe of the Arthur stable, had
given Bondage two powders and that they
came from the Isind stable, which had
Orsina in the same race.

it was almost impossible to do better.

Miss Anna Duncafe, of Tacoma, has
broken the worlds record for women by
throwing a baseball EOS feet. This is a
wonderful feat for woman. The ina
bility of the sex, not only to throw any
missile. but also to control even its
course. has been set down by antagonists
to the peculiar formation of woman's
shoulder blades. Miss Duncafe. who is
only 10 years Old while not upsetting this
theory. at least proves that she is the
exception to an almost universal rule
Two hundred and five feet is just about
the distance from the deep outfeld to
the home plate on a baseball diamond
When it is considered that outfielders
are selected because of superior power in
throwing home batted ball. one can re-
alize what Miss Duncafe's performance
really means-she is as proficient, almost
as the ordinary baseball player. The best
throw ever registered by woman be-
fore this new record was made by Bertha
Burgett. a Vassar champion. 1t was one
OF 181 feet. This record has stood until
recently, when the girl from Tacoma set
a new mark in the world of athletics for
women.
