MOROS AIM TO KILL
American Officers and Privates
Fall at Their Fire

MANILA, Jan. 10.-In an engage
ment which took place Jan. with re-
factory Moros on the island of Jolo,
Lieut.. James J. Jewell and Private
William F. O'Neil, of the Fourteenth
United States cavalry, were killed and
Second Lieutenant Roy w. Ashbrook,
of the Seventeenth United States in
fantry; Capt Halstead Dorey, of the
Fourth United States infantry; Second
Lieutenant r. C. Richardson, of the
Fourteenth United States cavalry, and
three privates were wounded. Private
O'NeiPs mother lives at Winneconne,
Wis.
The action was an incident in con-
nection with the capture of a fort held
by the Moro outlaws, which Maj.
Scott, governor of the island, had at
tempted to secure by peaceful means
several months ago..
Recently, while attempting to secure
recruits on the island, the kindly means
taken by Maj. Scott were mistaken
by the surrounding Moros, and trouble
brewing necessitated forcible action.
The Moro leader has been killed and
the fort has been destroyed. The
American troops were assisted by the
gunboat Quiros, in command of Lieut..
Walker.
Lieut.. Jewell was born in Illinois in
1871. Lieut.. Ashbrook is from Ohio.
Capt. Dorey is from Missouri and a
nephew of Mrs. Murat Halstead, of
Cincinnati.

DIXIE IS BOOMING
Southerners Will Have Eight
Club League Next Season

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 10.-Dixie will be
literally smeared with leagues this new
year just one step beyond the threshold
There'n be no less than eight In action
when the trumpet sounds the onset, and
hardly a town of any proportion whatever
will be without its clan of athletes
Here is the promised list of organiza-
tions: Southern, South Atlantic, Cotton
States, Delta, North Texas, South Texas,
K. 1. T., or Kitty, Tennessee Alabama.
And still every now and then the Sc
pulchral monotone of a calamity howler is
heard suggesting that the game will not
flourish long in the south. Balloon has
gripped the people this side of the border
now as for years it has gripped those
across the great dividing line. These
eight leagues will foot up total of fifty
booked for each camp there should be over
500 enlisted men in action. This win be
by far the greatest bulk of performers
ever gathered in Dixie since base hits be-
gan to flourish. In fact no other section
in the land can compare with sunland
when 1t comes to booming the best game
of them all. North, East or West can
furnish no parallel to this.
Take this list with those from the
be enough sons of swat on hand to have
shattered the walls of Port Arthur in a
two days fuSillade of SWatS.
Dixie Is undoubtedly On the greatest
boom in balldom's realm it has ever
known. There is no past parallel in the
annals of the game. And another feature
is the increased attention given the best
best men in the Southern, South Atlantic
ana Cotton States are tabled even before
the season ends by the majors and few
fall by the waySide

REAL STANDPA TER
President of American Refuses
to Grant Minors New
Draft Scale

CINCINNATI, Ohio. jan 10.-A drawn
battle on the points urged by the Ma
tional Association of Minor Leagues and
a determination to investigate thoroughly
the case of Pitcher Jack Taylor, formerly
of the Chicago National club, who was ac-
cused of Intentionally losing a game to
the Chicago team of the American league,
were the results of the day in the meet
ing of the National Baseball commission
below be wv this city, near a: Aurora, Ind md today. %
Ban Johnson president Of the American
yesterday and last night, had announced
that he was still opposed to granting the
request of the minor leagues for an in
crease in the price to be paid for drafted
players, but. that he thought limitation
of the number of players to be drafted
by the National and American leagues
might serve the same purpose and prevent
excessive prices for untried players.
This suggestion was taken under ad-
visement by the members of the National
association and during the day they made
known their opposition and repeated their
request as heretofore given. There the
matter stood tonight when the national

HAS A CLEAN FACE
Underclothes Are Dirty, Says
DR.. Wilson, of Havana

HAVANA, Jan. 1O.-The feature Of
the formal opening tonight of the an
nual meeting of the American Public
Health association was the address Of
the president, DR.. Carlos Finlay the
yellow fever expert and chief of the
Cuban health department. Dr. F'inlay
paid tribute to the accomplishments
and sacrifices of American experts
who have banished yellow fever. DR..
Ffnlay was in turn praised by Ameri-
can sanitarians for his services to hui
manity in discovering the mode of yell
low fever propagation.
DR.. Finlay said Cuba was especially
grateful to this association, some of
whose members were. Cuba's greatest
benefactors. The banishment of yell
low fever was largely due to two COM
missions from Washington, the first a
quarter of a century ago, and the Sec
ond twenty years later. The latter de-
cisively established the true etiology
of yellow fever. Its members were
themselves prostrated by the disease
and one, DR.. Jesse Lazear, died
martyr to scientific zeal, permitting
himself to be infected and contamin-
ated by mosquitoes. DR.. Finlay praised
the work of Maj. Gorgas, chief health
ofncer under Gen. Wood, who, adopt
ing the commissions findings, succeed
ed within seven months in Kidding Ha-
vana of her inveterate enemy.
DR.. Erastus Wilson, of Havana, read
paper on sanitary conditions in Ha-
vana and the necessity for their inn
provement. He said that while the i'm
provements during and since the
American Intervention had reduced the
death rate one-half, Havana is now in
the condition of having washed her
face and left her underclothing dirty.
Her greatest need is a complete sewer
system.
