high school girls basketball team
defeated the team from Black Rive
Falls in one of the prettiest con
tests ever witnessed in this city
The score at the end of the secon,
half was 16 tos.
The game was exciting from star
to finish and our girls certainly di,
well, considering the fact that thi
was their first contest with anothe
school.
The noticeable feature was that n,
one player outShined the rest, bu
that all went into the game with {
winning spirit. Their victory MAJ
be credited to the good teamwork
which they exhibited at every point
Of the game.
Irene Gilkey and Floy Quinn, a.
forwards, played their positions well
each one making two field goals
Irene Gilkey did the free-throwing in
an excellent manner
RoSia Wipperman played a good
game at center. She made two goals
from the field and guarded her op-
ponent well.
Fern Love and Georgia Ridgman,
as guards, could hardly have done
better and made several pretty plays
in getting the ball to their forwards.
They kept the ball out of dangerous
territory most of the time.
The Black River Falls girls played
a good game and showed considerable
teamwork ct times, and on several
occasions evoked the applause Of the
audience by their playing.
The attendance was quite large and
all seemed to take a great deal Of
interest in the contest. After the
game the people assembled in the
prettily decorated gymnasium where
a reception was held for the visiting
team. The high school orchestra
played several selections and the
members are to be complemented on
the progress they have made this
year. Misses Ruby Natwick and
Anna Reeves sang two duets, the
appreciation of which was shown by
the hearty applause they received.
The audience was also favored with
recitation by Miss Edna Muir. 1t
was rendered in q most excellent
manner.
During the evening frape and.
waters were served The frape had
been made by some of the high school
boys and it is needless to say that it's
quality was praised by all who partook
of it.
Next Friday our boys and girls
teams will play Marshfield
high school at Marshfeld. It is
hoped that at least one victory, II not
two, will be brought back.

Canvass TacitIy Sarred-World's Fair
Draws From The At
tendance

st. Louis, Mo-, June 30.-When the
second days session of the 43rd an
nual convention of the National Edu
cational association was called to or
der it was found that the attraction
of the worlds fair had proved the mag
net that had drawn away a consider
able number of the educators and the
attendance was somewhat diminished
There is much quiet talk as to the
possible results of the election today,
although no candidates for the presi-
dency have been announced as there
is an unwritten law in the association
which prevents a candidates from sue
cessfully seeking the presidency.
Heretofore, those who have worked
for the honor have been defeated and
the mantel has fallen on unanticipat-
ing shoulders. Consequently, none
are acknowledging themselves as can
didateS.
At the same time it seems to be the
consensus of opinion among the edu-
Gators that the indications point TO the
election of w II. Maxwell, superin-
tendent of school of Greater New
York. According TO present plans, it
is stated. Superintendent Maxwells S
name will be presented by New York
to the nominating committee.

HAYTI MUST PAY
FOR FOOLISHNESS
Against Policy of United States to
Interfere With France and
Germany

Washington, June 30.-It is said that
the department never has taken the
ground that smaller republics were
to be protected by the United States
either against reclamations by Euro
pean powers for violated cOntractural
obligations or against proper demands
arising out of violations of interna-
tional obligations such as it is alleged
is involved in the attack on foreign
ministers by Haytian soldiers.
So if the demands made on Hayti
by France and Germany are not eX-
cessive or oppressive in the judgment
of the state department there will
be no interference by this government,
but the developmentSfwill be watched
with keen interest to see that the line
is properly drawn and undue punish
ment not inflicted. 1t is not doubted
that the Haytian government will sup
p1ement it's inadequate letter of apol-
ogy by furnishing the guilty guards
when it realizes that it cannot look
for intervention by this country.

United States Circuit judge SAYS
Otherwise Rights Are
Imperiled

Asheville. n. c., June 3O.-Josephus
Daniels. editor OF the Raleigh News
and Observer. who was fined $4,000
for contempt by District Judge Pur-
nell. was ordered released from Gus
tody by United States Circuit Judge
Pritchard. In his decision Judge
Pritchard declares that Judge Purnell
exceeded his authority. and. although
newspapers sometimes indulge in I'M
warranted criticism of the courts, that
if judges are not to be criticised on
account OF their official acts the liberty
of the press is abridged and the rights
of individuals imperiled. Judge
Pritchard's ruling is important in re
gard to newspaper utterance.

AURORA CASHIER
STOLE THREE YEARS
Got 100000, Though Bank Examiners
Had Failed to Find Any
Shortage

Chicago. June 30.-Col. Jacob H Plain,
cashier of the German-American Ma.
tional bank, of Aurora, ILL.,, has been
arrested, charged with mis- ppropria-
ton of 100000 of funds of the bank.
1t is alleged that his peculations have
extended over a period of three years,
during which time the bank examiners
have several times gone over the af-
fairs of the bank and reported all cor
rect. When the shortage was finally
discovered by a special bank exami-
ner, Plain was arrested. He waived
examination and was held to the July
term of the federal grand jury under
bonds of $4,000. Plain has turned
over all his private accounts to the
directors of the bank and his father
and brother have made up a part of
the deficit. The capital stock of the
institution is unimpaired and is in
excellent shape to withstand any run
that may develop as a result of Plains
shortage.

London. June 30.-Shipping circles
here confidently expect Il settlement
of the passenger rate war as a result
of the conference to be held in Lon
don July Z between Lord Invercyde,
chairman of the Cunard company, and
Director General Ballin, of the Ham
burg American line. 1t Is confirmed
that this meeting is almost entirely
due to the initiative of King Edward,
whose suggestion Emperor William
warmly supported.
One of Emperor Williams guests at
Kiel asked him if he would not cross
the Atlantic. There is nothing L

peror. ''but it is too far and at pres
ent the trip takes too long. When

Pittsburg. Pa, June 30-The Nation

Molders' union of North America as
represented by committees appointed
for arbitration of all local wage scale
disputes ended a two days conference

agreed. The scale year expires with

trict will be affected by this fact for
no effort will be made at present, it is
believed, to adjust the disputed points
between the two sides. The trouble

Washington, June 30.-While Off

visit of King Edward to Emperor Will
liam was not brought about by a pur-
pose to initiate a movement toward
