The Skeeters and the Toronto men yes
terday played a double header and broke
even, the former team taking the morn
ing game by score of 4 to / and the
latter team winning by the close score
of 2 to l. The Jerseys played fast ball
in both games, Bean, Clement and Hand
ford distinguishing themselves at the bat
and in the field. landlord drove in three
runs in the morning game. Owen, who
started in to pitch for Toronto was chas-
ed out of the box after the first inning.
He gave the Skeeters two bases on balls
and was hit by Handford and Keister,
two tallies resulting therefrom. Mitchell
succeeded him. He was effective up to
the seventh inning, when Clement sin
eled and purlofned the second pillow.
Bean Was given pass and Handford
hit safely after Cassidy had forced Bean.
Moskiman pitched for Jersey City and
Cid splendid work. The day was a holi-
day. being the anniversary of the birth
of the late Queen Victoria, and big hol-
iday crowds were in attendance at both
games. Governor-General Grey witness
cd the first contest. The afternoon game
was the fastest of the two. Both pitch
ers-Merritt and McGinley-were in eA.
cellent form. Toronto scored in the first
inning on safeties by Thoney and Frick
and landlords high throw to the plate.
In the eighth Thoney sent out three
bagger and scored on a long fly. The
Skeeters had men ON bases almost every
inning, but scored only once Clements
triple and Frick,s poor throw letting in
the run. Vandergrift and Merritt had
chances to tie the score, but popped up
with men on first and second. Keister,
Bean and Tamsett made phenomenal
stops.

to say without question that he shall rep
resent that State in the Senate.
The probability, as nearly as can be
ascertained, is that about half the Sena-
tors do believe that Smoot should be un-
seated because they are convinced that
the oath of apostleship m the church, to
which he subscribed, places his allegiance
to the church above his allegiance to the
United States. Right there arises, how
ever. the question Of how he is to be
gotten out of the Senate There are two
ways of unseating him. One is by ex-
Guiding him, and the other by expelling
him. He may be excluded by majority
vote, but as he has already sat in the
Senate three years there is somewhat of
question of whether it isn't too late
to exclude him. To secure his exclusion
would require vote of only majority
of the Senate To expeI him would re-
quire a two-thirds vote. Such Senators
as Foraker, Bailey Dillingham; and Bev-
erage, all good lawyers, believe that
Smoot cannot be properly excluded; that
the only way to unseat him it to expel
him. If a report is made they are pre-
pared to make long fight, if necessary,
for the principle involved in this ques-
tion. Should they win out in their con-
tention that expulsion is the only way to
unseat the Mormon Senator. 1t is re-
garded as foregone conclusion that his
expulsion will be impossible; that two
thirds vote cannot be secured for that
purpose.
The result of this is that, for polit-
ical reasons, the Senators on both sides
are very well contented to let the thing
stand as it is. 1t may be rather awkward
for some Senators to explain to their
constituents who have been wrought up
to state of frenzy over the smoot case
because of the threat of Mormonism and
polygamy they think it represents, but it
would be easier to explain failure to act
than the failure of action. 1t is easier
to promise to the dominies and church
people who fear that Mormon peril that
Smoot viii be unseated sometime than to
explain to them, possibly, why he was
allowed to retain his seat, as might be
the case if the question came before the
Senate row.

BLOOMFIELD. Ind, May 25, 1906.
Governor Hanly has modified troops
at Terre Haute ready to rush them to
this city should an attack be made on
the jail in an attempt to lynch Robert
Williams, the negro who has been
brought here for trial for the murder Of
Michael Collins in a railway constr,.eti.E .
camp last week.
It is feared the men Of the camp will
try to rush the jail, and the sheriff and
his deputies are on guard. An attempt
was made to kill Williams in the cour-
room, but he was saved after a desperate
struggle.

Board Of Education Refuses
to Pass Them As Their
Price Was Above the
Market
HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES WILL PROBABLY
TAKE PLACE AT THE NEW
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING-PRI-
MARY DEPARTMENTS DISCUS
iSED.

The Board of Education held meet
ing last night, but the main portion of
the meeting was in conference, discussing
certain claims. The Board was not
quite satisfied with one or more claims
of the inspector of janitors supplies and
the inspector Of repairs. Some of the
claims were approved and some of them
held up. on the ground that some of the
articles charged for We're above the mar
ket price for such articles. The Finance
Committee, of which DR.. William A.
Lewis is chairman, wanted some explain
ations.
Another matter discussed in the con-
ference was the place of holding the COM
ing commencement exercises of the High
School in June. While nothing definite
was done in the matter, the outcome of
the discussion will in all probability be
that the exercises will be held in the new
High School building at the top of the
Newark avenue hill. The building will
not be ready for school purposes and for
NAL dedication until later on. The COM
mencement exercises have heretofore
been held in the Academy of Music, but
at least the auditorium or assembly room
of the big school building on the hill will
e completed in time to hold the exercises
in June.
Another subject that engaged the at
tention of the directors was the conges-
tion of the primary department of Nos
2, 4 and 5 schools, all of which are con-
Quoting halliday classes No. primary
is located in the old High School building
in Bay street. Some of the members of
the Board contend that while the evacu-
alton of the old High School building
should relieve the congested condition of
the three primary schools named. it Is
not in proper sanitary condition for
school house, and should be entirely
abandoned. If this idea is carried out
Jersey City will have two big abandoned
buildings on its hands, as the old police
headquarters were recently abandoned.
In the open meeting Director Gilmore,
committeeman from No. 6 School. was
given permission to dispose of number
of furnaces and stoves to No. II Annex.

MENTIONED

While citizens in all sections OF the
city who are clamoring for Improvements
are being told that there is no money to
provide for them new places for political
workers are being made in the City Hall

provements, but plenty Of it for jobs for
political workers This seems to be the
policy of the Faganites and the taxpay-
ers.ssay not a word in protest Great is
the word "Reformer." 1t covers null

Mr.. Perkins denies most positively the
assertion of the so-called reformers that
the majority of the members of the Leg
islature of last year were dominated by
bosses and corporate influence Of the
Legislaturelof 1904, when Mr.. Colby as
an Assemblyman did the bidding of Carl
Lentz, Mr.. Perkins said: 1T was cor
porate-bound and the very atmosphere
was impregnated with the power and in
fuenee of corporations" 1t was rather
mean of Mr.. Perkins to expose Mr.. Col
by's corporation record.

The talk of jiu jitsu in this
country recalls a story told by
Walpole of "a great amateur, nay,
practicer of boxing and wrest-
Ing" who willingly impaired his
knowledge to those who consulted
him. A somewhat sedate peer
visited the barOnet one day, and,
walking with him in his garden,
made the polite remark that he
would like to see a specimen OF
his hosts reputed skill; upon
which the "Other seized him sud
denly from behind and threw him
over his head.' This is surely the
earliest recorded instance of jiu
jitsu in England and merited the
superb reply of the wrestler to the
Infatuated peer: "My lord, this is
a proof of my great friendship for
you. This master stroke | have
shown to no other person living"
