WATER MADE
THE TROUBLE
Easter Celebration Among the
Foreigners Led to Several
Police Court Cases.

The practice of throwing water
which is one of the features of the
Easter Monday celebration among
the foreign population, was the
cause of several complaints to the
police last night and to the recorder
this morning. A young girl said that
a dress worth SIG was ruined by be-
ing soaked with water containing
lime while she was on her way to a
jollification at Dewey Park. A man
complained that a boarder in the
house threw water on his wife while
she was in bed.
A row at Gypsytown was caused
by water and stone and mud throw
ing, and a telephone message TO pol
ice headquarters took Patrolmen A.
Jensen and Quinlan TO the scene, but
no arrests were made. A warrant
was issued this morning. Edward
Opinski, of ESQ State street, made
complaint of the hurling of tin cans
and water by boys.

Be ABOUT $IOO
American SmeIter Offered TO Put
Up Second Cup This Year
But Deemed Unfair.
SAME CUP EACH YEAR.
No Team Could Retain to Trophy
More Than One Year Unless They
Won 1t Three Times.

Letters are being sent out today to
the business men of the city asking
for subscriptions for fund to pur-
chase cup as a trophy for the fac
tory baseball league. A committee
was appointed at the last meeting OF
the factory league officials to solicit
the subscriptions. One of those in
charge said this morning that they
think that they can get a suitable
cup of silver for about 500.
The American Smelling & Refining
Company officials were understood to
have rendered an offer to give a Gun
this year, but the league officials
thought that as former cup had
been given by one of the Guggen-
helms, they should not accept an
other cup from A. S. G. R. officiaIs-
1t was considered that the business
men of the city, many of whom take
an interest in the league, should.
subscribe the requisite amount.
The idea is to have the team win
ming the cup each year possess it that
year until one team has won it three
times, when that team shall own 1t,
permanently. 1t is anticipated that.
it would be several years before the
cup was gained by any team.
