WASHINGTON WALKER
CHALLENGES WESTON

SEATTLE. Dec. 30.-Pedestrian
Peter J. Panchot. of Auburn, has
issued a sweeping challenge to Ed
ward Payson Weston, the elderly
walker who recently completed a
long jaunt from Portland, Me-, to
Chicago in record time. Panchot
is anxious to meet his old-time RI
val and he offers to walk him most
any distance for a side bet of $4,000
or will make the event open to the
world for an entrance fee of $500
per man.
Panchot is no novice at the walk
ing game. He competed with the
best men in the world about 80
years ago and claims to have held
the heelan-toe record at one time,

ly he was seized at Frankfort-on-
Main and incarcerated in a mad
house by his relatives. His mar
riage had been declared null and
void.
Within a fortnight tribunal,
comprising Prince Stolberg-Werni-
gerode, Prince Herman Schoenburg-
Waldenburg and Count Solms-
Laubach, immediate relatives of
the count, formally deprived him
of all rights of succession to the
entailed family estates and award

ed the succession to Count Arthur
Erbach, an uncle of Count Erbach.
Belonging to a mediatised house,
the count cannot appeal to an or
binary court, the will of the family
being absolute He must accept dis
inheritance without hope of regain
ing his right to the succession. The
family fortune is estimated at $780,
100000, and includes four vast es-
tates, with castles on each, and
magnificent residences in Berlin,

Probably no men are as much
abused as umpires. No matter
how well they may do their work,
or how conscientious they may be,
thousands leave the grounds VOW
ing they could have done better.
One umpire, when the fans were
roasting him numerically on de-
cision against the home team, and
in which he was right, said to me:
We'll, Adj there seems to be a
lot of amateur umpires in the
stands today"

people say that the umpire was

still, he thinks he Is as competent
to render a decision as the arbitra-
near the play as possible, and who,
in all probability, was standing d.
rectly over it.
Jack Sheridan, who by many IL
considered the dean of umpires, is
perhaps the best man, day in and
day out, there Is in the game.
Nothing seems to worry him,
no matter how enraged the over
enthusiastic spectators are or how
wild the eXpostulations of the
player Or manager.
To all he turns deaf ear and
pursues the even tenor o fhis way.
Sheridan commands the respects Of
all the players in the league.
He is the only major league UNI
pire that never uses a chest pro-
tector behind the bat.
Jack takes his position behind
the pad artist, and whenever the
catcher moves, Sheridan moves
with him. have never seen him
hit with ball that a chest pro-
tector would have warded off.

his conscientiousness. is called
the "whitest little umpire in the
game"

meet with the approval of McGraw,
and he proceeded to make life mis-

Things reached the stage that
every time he would make a de-
cision that wasn't favorable to the
home team the bleachers would
start after him. At the conclusion
Of each game there would be a
small sized riot. with Tommy the

GERMAN BLUEJACKETs
At sEAMEN'S INSTITUTE

Tars OF the German cruiser Condor
We're most pleasantly entertained last
evening by the Seamen's Institute.

Last night as many as would make a
watch, perhaps, or more, gathered
under the German and American flags,
prettily draped. and took pleasure in a
aaitely-arranged program.

do with the delightsomeness of the &C.
casion. starting the singing of loved
German songs in which all the boys
joined with viii that was electrify-

in manner that brought forth enthu-
siastic applause and demanded an en-
core. Carlos Caceres improvised on
the piano. exhibiting marvellous skill
He was encored, but the artist had an
engagement elsewhere and could not
stop. w. Soper sang and was given g.
hearty handicap. Miss Jean Center,
whose sweetly strong and fetchingly
wholesome voice was beautifully
adapted TO the selection, sang Loeb
Lomond," and responded to persist
ent encore most graciously. The little
Misses Marguerite and Helen Center
captivated the audience with some
dainty dancing as clever as it was
pretty. Clarence Waterman rendered
THE Rosary" in German in a master
full manner and also sang Still in the
Night" d. W. Anderson sang Scotch |
songs in his inimitable style.
Superintendent Everton conducted |
the program, thanking each for the |
part taken. Mrs. w. R. Foster was
the spirit who refreshed those ahun- |
gered and athirst. presiding over the |
lemonade and cakes and
coffee. taking pains to see that none
omitted this important feature of the
program. Mr.. Foster assisted in the
general conduct of the affairs.

OAK TIMBER IS
 IN GREAT DEMAND
Former Sources of Supply Are Bare Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia Now Fur.
 nish Even This Wood.

Washington, July 10.-Speaking of the supply of oak lumber and one of it's principal uses-manufacture of barrels-and it's relationship to Ar kansas, Associate Forester Price said today:
 Fifteen million oak barrels a year are made in spite of decreasing supply of wood and increasing price. Ship pers of alcoholic liquors insist on oak, and many other shippers prefer it.
 Petroleum, for the most part, goes in tanks and through pipe lines, but even that article, or the refined oil, uses millions of barrels annually.
 Oak is the best tight cooperage ma- terial. It was formerly abundant, and the demand was easily met But the barrel manufacture now keenly feels the pinch of timber shortage. The former chief source of supply is now bare. The forests of Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas fur nish most of the barrels now
 'The best grade of oak is required, but furniture and finishing also de- mand the best, and the barrel maker must meet competition in buying or go out of business. The demand for oak barrels is so strong, however, that the maker has been able to go farther and farther into the forest for his wood. It is a question of how long he can continue to do so.
 Meanwhile the search for substi- 'tutes has been active, but has been successful only to a limited extent. The slack cooperage industry, engag- ed largely in manufacturing barrels not intended for liquids, makes use of cheaper grades which until recently were considered of little value. But even with this wider range from which to choose there is increasing difficulty in obtaining material. The Forest Service gives assistance by in- vestigating every probable source of new material by which the demand for cooperage wood may be supplied"

VICIOUS WIND
 HITS LOUISVILLE Sixty Mile -an-Hour Blow Kills One and Injures 9th ers-Much Property Is Destroyed
STREETS IMPASSABLE
Car Service Suspended and Streets Blocked by Fallen Trees-Build. ings Unr0Ofed and Blown Down. Wires Are Down.

Louisville, July 10.-A terrific windstorm which burst upon the city shortly before o'clock yesterday af- ternoon brought death to one man, fatal injury to another, and injury to several other persons, according to advices up to S:3O o'clock last night
 The man killed was Frank H. Leh- mann, an employe of the National Cas- ket Company, who was crushed by a falling cornice. The property loss is roughly estimated at a quarter of a million dollars.
 Many horses and mules were killed, buildings unroofed, smaller structures blown down, and unprecedented dam age done to shade trees all over the city. The records of the Weather Bu- reau show that the maximum velocity of the wind was 6S miles an hour during the height of the storm, and the wind blew at the rate of 60 miles AOA Ao AA1uuICo 0cfSIdl SCf6cCS are impossible for blocks tonight, owing to trees which litter the roadways. Street car service was suspended for several hours. Both telephone com panies report a serious interruption to their service.
 No advices have been received from the surrounding country, owing to the prostration of wires. Jeffersonville, Ind, across the river, escaped the full force of the blow, but the damage to property in New Albany is esti- mated at $50,o00, the heaviest loss be- ing sustained by the Ohio Falls Iron Works Company. Three churches and one school house were unroofed in New Albany.
