Rockford is ready to drop out of the
professional ranks. The race has been
too fast for the town. The Star con-
fesses: 1t is not probable that there
will be a baseball team in Rockford
next season or several years to come.
We have had baseball almost continu-
ously for nearly a quarter of a cen
fury and the fans need a rest. The
river clubs, golf club and river steam
ers offer varied outdoor entertain
ments and these cut down the attend
ance at the ball games. The sport has
been overdone. Rock Island, Daven-
port, Bloomington and Springfield
passed up the game for several years
and only called it back a season or
two ago. Even if Rockford desired a
team next season it is not believed
a franchise could be secured. So fans
who like the great American sport
must get all the pleasure possible out
of the few games yet to be played
here as there will be no baseball in
Rockford in the near future.

The Islanders made their first score
in the third inning. Thornton drew a
base on balls and stole second. Car
Isle was an easy out TO Brown. but
Thornton advanced and on Listers hit
TO left field he scored. Then Miller
and Rose made singles in succession
and things began to look like trouble
Sweeney hit hot one 10 Berte which
that nimble fielder shot to the plate
in time to catch Lister and Ludwig
fired it down 10 first in time TO snuff
out Sweeney. 1t was one of the fast
est and neatest double plays seen here
in many a day But there was an
other one equally good in the sixth inn
ing when Hupp started 10 run from
first on Cheeks long fly Hines
caught the ay and fielded the ball 50
swiftly to- Brown that Hupp was
caught by yard.
The other score for the visitors came
in the seventh. Thornton hit 4 long
one down TO left center Gill made
n great sprint for it and touched the
ball with the tips of his fingers. but
ii bounded away and Thornton made
second base on ii. He went to third
on Carlisle's infeld out and scored on
a wild pitch.

President Holland yesterday an
nounced a decision i'll the protest of
the game lost by Springfield at Ced-
ar Rapids. Donneliy claimed that
with two players umpiring and man
on third base. the players would not
allow the man on third 10 score on a
batted ball which struck the umpire.
President Hollands construction of
the rule was adverse TO DOnnelly, the
wording being very plain. The
umpire's decision was correct, the bat
ter being allowed to advance. but not
the third base runner.

score. There was a sigh of relief min
gled with the rush for the street cars
when Gill caught the last long fly.
Had he missed it there is no telling
what might have happened.
The Rabbits made their three scores
in the third inning, one or two of them
being presented to them because of
the visitors errors. but on the other
hand one of the visitors runs was
presented TO them by the umpire. Pet

and had the game gone the other way

one which did not make loans in excess
of the 10 per cent limit has ever failed.
The practically universal rule is that all
failures are due to excess loans to one in
terest or group Of interests generally
owned or controlled by the officers of the
bank itself. l believe the limit on loans
is the most useful and valuable of all the
ed to agree with the views of most of my
predecessors in Office who have recon-
mended that the 10 per cent limit be ex-
tended to cover surplus as well as capi-
tai, but I should rather see no change
than have this provision made too liberal.
If absolute safety lies in the enforce
ment of this clause of the law, why is 1t
not strictly and absolutely enforced by
the comptroller's Office? Fortunately, it
who violate this section do fall and un-'
fortunately. there are several serious diff
culties which prevent the literal and in
variable inforcement of the 10 per cent
provision. The most serious handicap is
the lack of any moderate penalty enforce
able by the comptroller. The only penalty
provided by the bank act for a violation OF
this provision is q suit by the comptroller
for a forfeiture of the banks charter.
for even a midemeanor. In forty years no
comptroller has ever felt justified in in
voking this severe retribution for such
violations as have occurred. Violations
which result seriously enough to justify
such punishment invariably bring it on at
once, in the insolvency of the bank, which
terminates the charter in a receiversh1p
without any suit.
Mr.. Ridgely urged full cooperation
between bank examiners and bank Off
cials.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-At the re-
quest of the king of Belgium Col
Henry I. Kowalsky, of the San Fran
cisco bar, a personal friend Of King
Leopold, called at the White house to-
day and presented the reply of the fed
Grafton for the defense of Belgian in
terests abroad to attacks made on the
government of the Congo Free State.
Col. KOWalSky presented to the presi-
dent an autograph picture Of King
Leopold, framed in silver. In an ex-
tended audience with the president.
Col. KoWalsky said:
Interested Britishers are eMdeavor-
ing, under the guise of benefactors of
the Congo natives, to open the question
of sovereignty over those regions by
calling conference of the powers at
which, it is hoped by the Britishers,
England may establish the contention
that Belgium is impotent to maintain
an affective government in the Con-
60"
In an interview with reporter Col.
Kowalsky said:
'"The testimony Of travellers from the
day of Sir Henry Stanley to the pres
ent time is unanimous and emphatic
in praise of the Congo Free State gov
ernment. If it We're necessary to dis
prove such inconsistent and palpably
false charges as those which try to
make it appear that the Belgian Off
cials in the Congo chop off the hands
of the blacks whom they are trying to
enslave, we could bring the statements
of such eye witnesses as Maj. James
Harrison, Sir Harry Johnston, Mr..
Grenfell, Capt. M. D. Bell and Michael
Holland, themselves all Englishmen,
who assert that the Congo Free State
is far more advanced in civilization
than British East Africa and Uganda
1 called to the presidents attention the
fact that all this uproar in England
over the fearful atrocities in the Congo
is fathered by missionaries whose ap-
plications for big concessions were
turned down by the Belgian authors
ties. Not single charge of cruelty
has been made except by those who
have been seeking material advan-
tages in that region, and who have not
been permitted to exploit it at the ex-
penSe of Others"

MINNEAPOLIS
GRAVE CHARGE MADE
Chinaman Arrested forAssauIt.
inc His Whi;e Stepdauahter

John Leon, a Cinnamon employed in a
laundry at 1888 washington avenue south,
Minneapolis. was yesterday arrested on a
charge involving his thirteen-year- old
stepdaughter, a white girl. Leon lives at
$3.50 Smelling avenue, and was apprehend-
ed at an early hour yesterday morning.
The Chinaman came to the United
States sixteen years ago. and three years
after his arrival he married a widow with
one child, the girl in the case. According
TO the stories told by the neighbors the
family has lived happily and three chill
dren have been born. Mrs. Leon was un-
aware of the misconduct of her husband
until the policeman walked in upon them.
The girl had been warned on pain Of death
by Leon not to inform her mother Of his
relations with her, but she told a girl
friend of the affair and this girl informed
her mother who notified the police.
The girl told her damaging story to the
policeman in the presence of her step
father and he remained cool until she as
serted he had threatened her with death
if she revealed the crime. The police
assert they have strong evidence against
the ChiDaman.

it was about this time that Mengeaon
appeared on the scene, and he agreed
to go with Guilmette. The men re-
turned last Saturday. Guilmette told
Fontaine that he had made a little
money and that he and Mongeaon were
going to the woods to gather gum.
Mongeaon told Fontaine that he had
considerable money with him, and that
he owned valuable property back in
Quebec. Both he and Guilmette were
literally supplied with money Satur-
day, the day they spent in East Grand
Forks. Fontaine thinks that the mur-
