CRESCENTS LOSE.
Defeated by Pottsville Saturday Evening
by Score of 10 to 3.

by q Score of 10 to 3.
The basket ball game on Saturday
evening was won by the Pottsville Bust
ness School team by score of 10 to g.
The visitors proved themselves to be the
fastest and most aggressive organization
that the Crescents have met up to the
present time, and their team and indi-
vdhal work won them many admirers
among the large audience which gather
ed at Krell's hall.
The game opened and the rushing
commenced with the ball up and down
the hall without an opportunity by
either side to shoot In the earnestness
OF the visitors to procure the ball from
the locals foul was committed and the
referee allowed the Crescents a free
throw. The basket was unsuccessful.
Pottsville then secured the ball and
scored 2 points. Another free throw al
lowed the Crescents was successful.
Pottsville again rushed the ball in the
vicinity Of their basket and again scor-
ed, but the points were not allowed.
When the ball was again put in play the
Crescents secured the sphere and by
neat passes succeeded in scoring a
basket.
The contest at this point became nip
and tuck, with the locals leading, to 9.
Becoming desperate, Pottsville took all
chances and the players shot for a
basket from any position. Many bas-
kets were thrown for, but only two were
secured, one OF which was irregular
and was not allowed The half ended
by score of 4 to in favor Of the visit
ors.
After selection by St. AIMS band
the second half was commenced at the
call OF time by Referee DR.. Maley. The
locals secured free throw on q foul.
The throw was unsuccessful. From
now on the Crescents were on the de-
fensive. They played their opponents
hard, but were unsuccessful in securing
a basket during the half, the one basket
thrown not being allowed. Pottsville
succeeded in scoring three baskets
which gave them additional points,
making total OF TO-
1t was very fine exhibition and the
game was played hard by both sides.
The visitors were given the credit of
being the best team that has so far ap-
pearsd in town.
Several slight bitches occurred during
the evening about rules. The game was
played according to Y. M. c. A. rules.
The visitors have played in the past by
National. In some instances the rules
differ and mistakes were made by both
sides.

Mr.. Merritt's Second Reply.


Postmaster General Payne wrote again
to Mr.. Merritt May 20 last. inclosine copies
of Mr.. Tulloch's statement to him affecting
the Washington post office. In reply to
that Mr. Merritt wrote again. under date
OF May ~, as follows, taking the charges
up in order:
Il. The practice OF paying certain expenses
or the Post ONCE Department out of the
funds OF the Washington Office which Mr.
Tulioch 80 earnestly condemns, has been
cashier. My Office is now regularly PAWN
the employees Of the third division Of the
railway mail service, the employees of the
departmental mail bag and mail lock re-
pair shops, and 1t Is making such other dis
bursements outside of its own needs as the
department from time to time orders.
Many OF the large disbursing post Offices
are doing the same thing There is no i'm
propriety in this practice. 1t has existed
almost from the beginning Of the govern
ment. Is fully authorized by custom and
law and. so far as postmasters are con-
eerned. 1t is absolutely required by sections
3s3 and 391 of the postal regulations and
by section $3.50 of the Revised Statutes Of
the United States. Mr.. Tulloch apparently
would have 1t understood that there is
fraud In all this, but this is far from true
Every disbursement OF this character is
scrutinized by the auditor for the Post
Office Department just as carefully "a A

as gross irregularity. occurring under the

him great concern. affords a very happy
Illustration of how such expenditures az

chief Of the salary and allowance division
of the first assistant postmaster generals

The disbursing officer Of the Post Office
Department refused to honor Mr. Shep-
herds requisitfon, whereupon the latter
applied to his chief and obtained an au-
thorization to buy the case together with
an allowance to the postmaster of WASH
ington to pay for 1t. There is nothing
fraudulent in this transaction. The only
question involved assuming, of course that
Mr.. Shepherd needed the file easel was
whether 1t should have been paid for out
of the appropriation under the control OF
the disbursing officer of the Post ONCE De-
partment or out of similar appropriation
under the control of the first assistant post
master general 1t is needless to say that
in the audit of the postmaster's account
this expenditure was considered not as for
the use of the Washington city Office, but
as an item chargeable to the miscellaneous
appropriation Of the first assistant postmas-

POLICE BOARD FOR RALEIG9.
Quite a Contest az to Who Shall Name the
Commission.

The lot of a member of the Legislature
from the county of Wake is not happy
one. Now that the bill to add to the
territory of the city has passed, there
is another matter that gives trouble "
the Wake delegation. The Board of AL
dermen, in order to get the police sys-
tenn out of politics. not long ago passed
a resolution requesting the Legislature
to authorize the creation of Police Com
mission.
And now there is trouble about how it
shall be named. Some of the. Board of
Aldermen wish the board to select the
members of the Police Commission, and
some wish the Wake legislators to select
them. Each side claims that if the other
side wins the police will still be in poll
ties IF the aldermen elect the Com
mission. how will that get the board out
of politics? Will it not be just as well
not to have any Commission" The other
side say: "If the Legislature elects will
not the members they name still be in
factional city poltics?"
The fight is not without interest.

BISHOP IN PENITENTIARY.
his Wife Accompanies Him as fsr as Greens
boro.

Arthur Bishop, who shot and killed
Wilson in Charlotte, and who was con-
victed of manslaughter and sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary, was
brought to the penitentiary yesterday.
Sheriff Wallace brought Bishop.
1t is a touching story to see how true
a woman can be to the one whom she
really loves, as it is emphasized in this
case. All through the ordeal of the trial
for his life Bishop was attended by his
loving wife, ministered unto and cheered
by this faithful life-partner. This case
fully exemplifes how much should be
thought of the marriage vow. Mrs. Bish-
OF accompanied her husband to Green's
boro and there, with words of cheer for
him, she babe him a sad and loving fare
we'll.
For sometime Bishop thought of APP
realing and asking for a new trial, but
being aware of the fact that he could be
tried for murder in first degree again
he finally decided to serve out his SEN
tence. He made this decision Wednes-
day night.
