LEWISTON WILL HAVE A GOOD
BASEBALL TEAM THIS YEAR
Good Meeting Was Held Saturday Night, and
Another Session Will Be Held Tonight
in the Pring Candy Store

ably the high school team on Monday.
The team will arrive in Lewiston for
training about April /. Reilly is great
ly pleased with Lewiston for training
quarters.
Billy Damman expects to leave for
Lewiston about two weeks ahead of the
crowd, so that he can get good start.
He can find plenty of young ball play
ers down there to work out with.
Reilly will take eighteen men to
Lewiston. fourteen regularly signed
players and four tryouts. If some of
these new men make good the team
will be just that much ahead. Reilly
seems to have arrived at the conclu-
sion that he will play Gus Klopf on
first; ROckenfield, second; Ferris,
short; while he will attend to the third
corner of the diamond. Martinke, Frary
and Hardy will be in the outfield. Frary
will also be used for change catcher,
should Mat Stanley be laid up.

ANOTHER soxlNe CONTEST
Ovordorf and Reilly Will Meet in Lew
iston April Sixth

Jack Reilly and Jack OverdOrf have
agreed to sign articles to meet in
Lewiston for twenty-round 60 April
6. 1t is claimed that had Overdorf not
broken his hand in the last fight he
would have defeated Reilly easily, and
this view Is held by enough of our
local sports to insure backing for OVER
dorf.
There is no denying that Overdorf is
a game and square fighter and his last
defeat has not hurt his standing as
such. Overdorrs hand has healed up
very rapidly and he will use bandage
on it in the next fight. Only one bone
was broken and it is the opinion of his
physician that it will not bother him
in the least in the coming mill

BOTH SIDES !.
ARE TALKING
Telephone Franchise the Conten'
ton Will Be Aired In the
Council Tonight

Mr. Perry w. Mitchell. president Of
the Nezperce Cooperative Telephone
company arrived in the city this morn
ing from Culdesac. Mr.. Mitchell 8
in the city on business in connection
with his company and will appear at
the meeting of the city council this
evening In order to present his view
in relation to the franchise which Is
expected to be passed giving his COM
pany the right to use the streets and
alleys Of this city to run their lines
and poles over.
In conversation with Mr.. Mitchell
this morning he said: Il do not anti
cipate any trouble In securing the
franchise and believe that the council
has considered our application favor
ably. One of the purposes Of my trip
at this time to visit the council this

evening as l understand that the Pa
cific States company are endeavoring
to have the council act unfavorably on
the franchise. 1 am under the impress
sion that our position is not thoroughly
understood in relation to the matter
and feel that the Pacific States COM
pany are not placing us in the right
light. We have asked for a franchise
from Lewiston for the purpose of run
ming our lines into this city and as a
consequence we must also be permitted
to run an exchange. 1t is our intention
10 place phones in the different BUSH
ness houses Of the city but have not
as yet considered the matter Of run
ming an opposition phone service in
the residence portion Of the city. We
do not intend to do this at this time.
Our proposition is purely a business
one and we are satisfied that the BUSH
us. II the residence portion of the city
demand that we give them service we
shall do SO. This will probably de-
pend largely on what kind Of service
the Pacific States company give. If
they put in this new system which they
have promised there will probably not
be any need of our entering the resi-
dence portion of the field.
Our poles for the new extension
have already been contracted for and
delivery will be made to Lewiston be-
fore April first We have arranged for
the poles to be distributed from this
city to the reservation line and as soon
as we can get the poles on the ground
it VII be small matter to establish
the service"
Mr.. ]. E. McGillivray, manager of
the Pacific States company, was seen
this morning by Teller reporter and
said:
THE matter is entirely up to the city
council as we see it and we have every
confidence in the ability of the city
council to decide rightly. We have
endeavored to give the matter all the
publicity possible so that the telephone
user will have an idea Of what they
are going up against. We have en-
deavored to make it plain that we have
no objection in the world to the Coop
erative company coming into Lewiston.
The petition we circulated specifically
sets this forth. We reach all points of
importance on the reservation sountry
now and those points which we do not
reach we will build to without delay.
Our connections throughout the coun-
try tributary to Lewiston hundred
tines more valuable than the cO-Opera-
tive connections can possibly be. The
Lewiston people are all anxious to see
the cooperative lines enter the city
and so are we If their coming will be
of benefit to the town. 1t is extremely
doubtful. however. that they will even
build the line from Culdesac to Lew
iston during the coming year as even
that short piece Of line will take
great deal more money than has as yet
ben subscribed by the Lewiston bust
ness men,"

Train Saved by Bow.

The thoughtfulness of 15-year-oId Isaac
II. Ramsay in tagging Norfolk and
Western passenger train near Ingleside,
near Roanoke, yesterday, prevented the
death of many people. A huge boulder
which had broken from its foundation on
the mountain side and tumbled upon the
tracks in deep cut was discovered by
the lad just in time to avoid a terrible
wreck. The boy hearing the train ap-
preaching ran around a curve to meet it.
The engineer observed Ramsay wildly
waving his hat. and applied the air brakes,
but the engine crashed into the rock be-
fore it stopped. The front of the engine
was wrecked and the passengers were
badly shaken up. A moment after the
passenger train had halted freight train
was heard nearby and was stopped when
within few yards of the first wreck.
The passengers and trainmen made up
a handsome purse of money for the young
hero, and this was supp lemented last
night by the purchase of gold watch
tor the lad by one OF the travellers.

WAR THE FAR EAST.

st. Petersburg. April 2S.-An official
dispatch received today reports that on
April 25, two Russian torpedo boats
blew up Japanese transport at Gensan,
Korea. The transport carried a cargo
of 400 tons of rice and military stores;
/. 500 tons of coal, and four Hotchkiss
guns. Seventeen officers, twenty men,
IS coolies, and IS sailors were captured.
The other japanese officers and men,
resisting, were sunk with the transport.
London, April %. The Central News
correspondent at Lao Yang, Manchuria,
SAYS there has been no fighting on the
Yalu since Tuesday. Supplementing a
dispatch regarding ans engagement
on the river bank, on Tuesday, he
says: 1.-THE japanese, advancing on
Tueren- Cheng, encountered a Russian
force. The japanese received a
hot fire from the Russian battery,
The japanese gave only slight resistance
and then retreated in disorder, upon the
next village, where the men dispersed,
taking refuge in various houses and
buildings"
Loudon, April 2S.-The Chefoo cor
respondent of the Reuter- Telegram Co.
wires that the japanese have occupied
Kulieng-C heng on the right bank OF the
Yalu river, to the south of Antung
Such move on the part ofthe japanese
would be highly important from a strate-
gical standpoint, as it would mean that
they would have the Russian forces Oh
the YaIu river hemmed in on three sides.
In front would be the main force Of the
japanese, to the east and northeast, the
forces of japanese which are known to
have crossed the Yalu on Monday and
Tuesday, and on the west the force now
reported to have occupied Kulieng-
Cheng.

Crum Defeated.

The nomination of William ID. Crum
colored, to be collector of the port o
Charleston, SC, was considered yester.
day in an executive session of the Senate
lasting from 4:S5 p. m. to 9:15. A
failure to confirm the appointment re-
suited. AT the conclusion of arguments
by Senator's Gallinger, Spooner, Hale and
Aldrich for confirmation, and Senator'S
Daniel, Lalimer, German and Clay
against confirmation, Senator Cockrell
suggested the Senate proceed to legisla-
tive business, and the suggestion was
adopted
Senators Spooner and Daniel, on op-
posite sides of the question made the
principal speeches. The former defended
the republican policy in relation TO free
and equal citizenship, without regard tb
racial prejudicies, and Senator Daniel de-
clared that the policy of elevating ne
groes to high positions was contrary 10
the established law of centuries /;
that the Anglo-Saxon race is
the chosen people to govern the world.
Senator Daniel declared that the ap-
pointment of negroes to high political
Offices, such as that to which Crum has
been named, sets the race dreaming of
rights inconsistent with the position of
negroes in society and inhicts more harm
than good on both races. He said such
appointments tend to make the negro
arrogant and offensive in bearing, and
inaame the race prejudice in the South
and all places where negroes reside in
great numbers.
The Crum nomination dies with the
adjournment of the present session, but
the action of the democrats in taking a
position which republicans term ga fill
buster they argue will warrant the
President in again making recess ap-
pointment.
Senator Allison today announced that
the committee on the order of business
in the Senate at a meeting held today,
decided that if the nomination of Crum
is sent to the Senate next session it will
be made the order of business and kept
before The Senate until disposed of.

Mr.. Hemenway, in his statement,
calls attention to the fact that the total
estimated revenues for the year are
Sc, 1919, 274 in excess over the appropri-
atoms and authorized expenditures.
It is safe to assume, he says, that the
real excess of revenues will be about
$40, 900, 900, as the total of expen-
ditures is usually five per cent below
the appropriations made. Mr.. Livings-
ton comments as follows: 81 do not
question the honesty of these vast APP
oropriations. either in their aggre-
cate amount or in their details but |
challenge the wisdom of the policy Of
the dominant party that has made these
enormous expenditures necessary through
the increase of the military and naval
establishments, the maintenance Of
which is at the expense of needed in
ternal improvements, such as rivers and
harbor works, aud public buildings.
During the session which is just about
to close, the representatives of the people
have been denied consideration of the
demands of their constituents all along
this line, and yet, the appropriations for
the army show an increase over what it
cost in 1896 of $54, 900, 900, and the
navy the still greater increase of $685.,
600, 900.
