POEMS WORTH READING.
To tho Man who Tried.

To tho Man VINO Tried.
Not all OF life It Is to win:
True hearts respect tho man
Who lifts his banner and goes In
To do the best he can.
Three times. Sir Thomas. you have sought
To lift the trophy UP,
But all the Shamrocks that you brought
Have failed to win the Cup.
So gallantly you led the night,
SO true your pluck and pride.
We claim with hcartiness the right
To praise the Man who Tried.
The world has smiled on you. Sir Tom,
And may II while you live
Forgive us II We keep you from
The Cup we could not give,
How better far than rank or fame
II Is to be content
To take with gratitude. not blame
The goods the gods have sent
So now. Sir Tom. restrain your tears,
Nor rail against the Fates:
Content you with the Cup that Cheers
And not Inebriates.

in the House OF Commons this afternoon,
Viscount Cranborne. Under Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, stated that during the last
few days friendly communications had
been addressed to Russia in regard to Man

Government had intimated that it would
adhere to it's engagements to evacuate
Manchuria. although that evacuation had
been temporarily delayed. In particular
the Russian Government had explained that

measures which would tend to obstruct

The Consul-General at Newchwang, Lord
Cranborne stated. had reported that the
recent rumors in regard to the reoocupation
of that place by the Russians were without
foundation. Under these circumstances,
the Under Secretary said, the British Gov

Second One Killed IN Two Weeks while

INDIANAPOLIS. May ll.--Louis Yeager
young man living near Fairfield, Howard

last night, and when his father got up this
morning he found the son dead in his buggy
at the front gate An investigation sho wed
that the young man had been shot in the

position In the buggy indicated that he had
been killed while driving along the high
way. Miss Finley says that he left her
house about 10 o'clock and started in the
direction Of home.
Francis Sutton. young man who was
also a s,litor for the hand OF Miss Finley,
was found dead in his buggy two weeks
ago to-day with bullet in his brain, having
been shot the night before while driving
along the road. 1t was supposed that he
had committed suicide, though there was
nothing to show that lie had shot himself
but the murder Of Yeager last night under
precisely similar circumstances leads to
belief that both young men were assassi-
mated because of their attentions to Miss
Finley. There is no clue to the murderer.

JACKSON, Tenn, May 1l.-United States
Marshal Elgin tonight served injunction
papers on the officials of the Brotherhood
Of Railroad Trainmen, including conduc-
tors. fremen and engineers. by authority
Of the Federal Court at Memphis. This
restrans the strikers on the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad from interfering in any
manner with the movement of its freight

conductors struck and railroad fficials
were compelled TO run the evening train
from here to Mobile. A conference is
being held tonight between the firemen
and engineers. II they decide to strike
the entire system Of the road will be de-
moralized. At present they are the only
trainmen working.
Quiet Is maintained tonight. One man
was killed yesterday and two engines
ditched. Much apprehension is felt for the
future, however, in view Of the intention
Of the road management to import nom
union laborers.

to call meeting for permanent organiza-

As the unanimous action Of the Invitation

All parties joining in the conference last
night were fully represented. Timothy L..

No comment was made on the absence Of

They hold that in the recent flurries about
Manchuria and Newchwang, England did
not lend that moral support to Japan which
was to have been expected from a nation
having a treaty OF alliance with the Far
Eastern Power. or course there are plenty
who see in this alleged indifference of Eng

Manchuria. will not stand in the way Of an
extension of British power over the Yangtse

England is cautious only for fear that
