Wallace Preiean was not in the
game as result Of the collision with
Pitcher in the P1aquemine affair, dur
ing which the speedy short-stop was
spiked on the right foot and otherwise
bruised. He was 1imping about the
grounds. however, and it is hoped he
has sufficiently recovered to take part
in tomorrow's fray.
Third baseman Dudley Weber was
also on the inactive list, being pre-
vented from playing by a slight in
disposition. He was able to get into
the political game Thursday, though
coming down from Baton Rouge to
vote for Judge Favrot-so it is proba-
bic he will be seen tomorrow covering
the third corner in his usual efficient
style.
Speaking Of the Plaquemine-Pelic
game of August rs the Iberville South
says: We are especially glad to hear
fattering reports Of the treatment ac-
corded the boys and the fans who Wis
tied DonaldsonVille on that occasion.
The team was highly pleased with the
courtesies Of the splendid management
Of the Donaldsonville team and are
loud in their praises of the treatment
team is composed almost entirely of
home boys and they are all thorough
young gentlemen who try to do the
right thing. thus making the sport
very popular and always attracting
very large crowds TO their games.
Last Sunday the gate receipts were
considerably over 800 and everyone
was delighted with the friendly manner
in which everything was carried on
and this is the only right way to con-
duct these games between these neigh
boring towns and make them popular. -
There will be all kinds of fun at the
park next S aGurd ay afternoon, when the
Johnnie Duggans, eaptained by John
Schaff, meet the Molle MeGuires, led
by Pat Stakelum, In a bat and ball
battle. This game will be part of the
sumner festival to be given Saturd az,
Sunday and Monday by the Knights
of Columbus for the benefit of the Sis
tiers of Charity, and should be we'll
patronized, not only because the re-
eeipts will be donated to the worthy
and ch aritable Sisters, but also for
the reason that the amusement afforded
will be well worth the prices charged
Is and Is cents. # you don't think SO,
just imagine Pat Stakelnm and John
Schaff il baseball garb and you'll be
convinced.
The Lake Charles Press speaks of
movement to organize a state league
next year with teams from Alex andria,
Monroe, Lake Charles, Crowley. New
IBERIA, Plaquemine, Morgan City and
Abheville. Donaldsonville IS omitted,
but We don't see how any league pro-
moters can afford 10 leave Donaldson
vile out, as most of the teams will be
compelled to pass through here 30
reach the other towns, and further
more. this place draws better than any
of those mentioned, with the possible
exception Of Monroe and Lake Charles.
But unless it is to be a strictly amateur
league, made up Of home talent clubs,
DonaldsonyilIe won't feel sighted il
it IS not asked to join, as experience
has proven that salaried teams are not
successful ia cities Of less than 90, 900.

CHINESE GROW BOLDER.
Anti-Foreign Feeling Shows Especially
Against British and Appeal to
Government Is Made.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL
Mail advices from China are disquieting
to Americans having financial interests
in the orient. There is no abatement of
the anti-foreign feeling and the animos-
ity is no longer confined to Americans.
but includes all foreigners except Japa-
neSe.
A formidable party has arisen and is
conducting an active propaganda. 1t is
known as "Restorers of Rights" and its
purpose is to drive the foreigners out
of business in China and to that end to
begin by rendering valueless the for
eign investments.
In some quarters the Chinese govern
ment is alleged to sympathlze with the
movement.
The English, who are most affected,
are complaining that in violation of an
agreement the Chinese government is
constructing a railway from Shanghai
southwark, with the deliberate purpose
of destroying the value of an English
concession and greatly injuring Holg
Kong. They are making a strong appeal
to their government.

During the year the number OF Tree

rThe Coincide receives a government
subyention, but its expenses have in
creased so much that it is always in
financial stress. Its actors and actresses
nut I'D with much smaller salaries than
they would receive anywhere else. They
do it partly for the honor of belonging to

retired they receive a pension.

u. S. CRUISER
SENT TO CUBA.
American Shipping and Commercial In
terests Will Be Protected by
President.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL
American shipping and commercial IN
terests about Havana, Cuba, are to have
the protection of an American warship III
Cuban waters.
While government officials show an in
clination not to discuss Cuban affairs,
there can be no doubt that the cruiser
Des Moines, which cleared from Norfolk
yesterday, is sailing on state depart
ment mission, and it is rumored that she
will proceed Immediately to Havana.
The secrecy extends to all officials OF the
navy department, where, it is said, she
has been sent on cruise for the bene-
fit of the health of the sailors and
marines"
President Takes Action.
President Roosevelt, it is rumored here,
is responsible for the sailing of the Des
Moines. 1t is known that the state de-
partment is keeping him advised daily
OF all information received from Havana
and that he is keeping in close touch
with the situation.
The sailing of the Des Moines has
chilled the Sanguinary feeling in Of
fetal circles of President Palma's ability
to promptly suppress the insurrection.
E. Martial Law Declared.
HAVANA, Sept. 11.-Martial law has
DCSH pAOCIdIuleu ny the government. Al
most all the members OF the revolution
airy junta have been arrested. The
amnesty proclaimed on August -, prom
lslng pardon to all rebels who sur
rendered, has been recalled.
1t is learned that the government of
Cuba now views with suspicion not only
its political opponents but also many of
those whom it has hitherto trusted as
friends. The government has suspected
d1 hat nXrarl nf hn
members of the veterans peace commit
tee desired to turn their peace making
into practical liberal victory. The
veterans deny these insinuatlons.
Concerning the present attitude Of the
government and the DEGREES, Gen. Rafel
MontalvO, secretary of public works,
sand today: The government has been
entirely too lenient with the rebels. Our
desire to avoid fraternal blodshed has
been mistaken for vacilatiOn. The sus-
pension of constitutional guarantees
were necessary to effect the arrest of sew
eral senators and congressman who form
the central revolutionary committee in
this city"
The following individuals were arrest
ed today: Ex-Congressman DR.. Malber-
ty; Clerk of the House of Representa-
tlVes Felipe Gonzales Sarrain; DIR. Man
uel SecadeS, and ex-Mayor of Havana
Juan Ramon Ofarrill, who was ousted
from his post by Gov. Nunez in order
to make room for a moderate successor.
Noted Men Join Rebels.
What appears to be positive confirma~
ton has been received of the report that
Alfredo Zayas, president of the Liberal
party and vice president of the Cuban
Senate, is among the group of prominent
men who have joined the insurgents out
side Havana.
The mayor of Moron, in the province
of Puerto Principe, reports a fight in his
vicinity of rural guardsmen and volun-
teers with a band of rebels. The latter
were dispersed. The casualties of the
affair are not known.

GIRL INDICTS HOTELMEN.
Margaret Burkel of Duck Lake, Wis,
Tells Her Story to Chicago
Grand Jury.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 11.-Margaret
Burkel, the l7-year-old girl who had am
billions to become a ''broiler" in some

Jury how Alfred l.. Streeter trans
formed her into a girl who didn't care.
Then the jury voted indictments against
Streeter and Proprietor Usner and Clerk
F. L. Masse of the Rensu hotel for har-
boring a girl under age.

rived in the city in the morning from
Duck Lake, near Green Bay, Wis. There

cried but said she didn't care to go
home. IF l ever see that man I'll
shoot him!" exclaimed the father. She
has six big brothers who feel the same
way about Streeter that her father does
1t seemed that the girls troubles be-
gan shortly after her father married the
! ,ond time, though the father told the
jury that she had a good home and her
stepmOther was kind.
The girl was employed in the Beau
mont hotel at Green Bay when she met
Streeter. She added this story:
~ can get you work in the Sherman
house, in Appleton, Wis.,, the man said,
and l believed him.
Il went that night to Fond du Lac.
Wis, as l was told to by the man, and
stopped at the Palmer house. He met
me there, and then [ went back to the
Beaumont to get my clothes. He sent
me So in a letter to go to Milwaukee.
He met me there and we went to the
Davidson hotel"
She also told the jury how Streeter
took her to boarding house III Wiscon-
sin street. Milwaukee. and to the Globe
hotel in that city and finally brought her
to Chicago last December, taking a room
