OMAHA, April Ito the Sporting Editor
Of The Bee: I noticed In Sundays Bee that
the Townsend Gun company team was
classed In b class, TO which II does not be-
long. l hope you will be so kind as to ao-
commodate me with a little space in your
sporting columns to express my views on
the said subject. Following is a synopsis
Of what the Townsend team did last year !:
1t played twenty-six games, winning eight
cen and losing six, The other two games
were ties. OF all the games we played no
one can say that we ever lost a game by
more than one score and we also played
more games which went over nine innings
than any other team in the city Follow
ing is list OF a few fast Omaha and out
of-town teams which we played last year:
pietE. Hollys, Peoples Store, Storz Brew
Ing company, Soldiers Dunlap. Ia, Wood
blne, Ia, Portsmouth, Ia, and Plattsmouth,
Neb. / think our record Is as good II not
better than a few teams which l find in
Class A. Now, for instance, there Is the
Storz Brewing company team; we played
them last year and found that they were
an easy proposition to beat. Thanking
you for past favors and hoping you see your
way clear to adjust this small matter, l am

involves the compulsory appropriation of

idea of Jerome.

Mr.. Jerome believes that the commission
VIII hear his alienists. and he hopes, be-
sides, that the testimony Of DR.. Allan Nc
Lane Hamilton will be admitted There
is no doubt that the hearing will be pro-
longed II the states alienists are allowed
to testify as fully as Mr.. Jerome wishes
them to do. but the defense's lawyers be-
lieve they will only be permitted to tell
what they think of Thaw's present condi-
ton, and the facts Of the distant past, on
which most OF their conclusions are based,
will be eliminated.
Daniel o'Reilly. who since the commits
sion was appointed, has take an active part
in the defense with clifford W. Hartridge,
made the announcement that Thaw will
stand on his testimony before the com
mission and the counsel will call no wit
nesses. He said:
1.-THE defense will offer no witnesses. We
will not call any allenists, although we
know that Mr.. Jerome has the promise Of
the commissioners to hear what his ex-
perts have to say on the writings of Thaw,
on the evidence as adduced at the trial
and on the observations that have been
made during the trial.
Mr.. O'Reilly expressed the opinion that
DR. Hamilton would not be allowed to
testify, and he added that he hoped the
whole matter would be ended Tuesday
night.
The members of the Thaw jury have
drawn up a petition to Justice Fitzgerald
asking him to allow them 50 day for
jury services instead OF the customary al
lowance of 81 a day. Their action is based
on an instance in which the court made
a similar increase in the jury's allowance
after the case had been extended for an
unusual length.
Mrs. Thaw Summoned.
When Mrs. Evelyn Thaw made her daily
visit to her husband in the Tombs today
she was met by process server who
handed her a subpoena directing her to APP
pear before the lunaoy commission tomor-
row. Mrs. Thaw apparently had not antici-
pated this move and she appeared very
much disturbed when the nature Of the
paper was made known to her.
I "Do they expect me to testify against my
husband?" she asked
She was told that her presence probably
was desired mostly as a matter of routine.
but this did not seem to assure her. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome declined to make
known his purpose in calling Mrs. Thaw
before the commission.
1t was reported today that when the
lunncy commission resumes its hearing to-
morrow Mr.. Jerome will call as his wit
nessess Drs. Pilgrim and Gregory Of this
city, two Of the alienists engaged by the
defense and will endeavor to prove by them
| that Thaw is now insane.
DIR. Pilgrim Is head OF the New York
state lunacy commission, and DR.. Gregory
is in charge OF the PsyohOpathic ward Of
| Bellevue hospital Both OF them are said
| to have had on several occasions converse
tions with the defendant during the trial.
It was said later at the district attorney S
office that the reason for having Mrs.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw served with a sub
phoena was that it might be necessary to
call her before the commission and that the
district attorney decided that in that event
1t would be better to have her on hand.

by the grand jury against Lowit and
Il. H. Wilson, the latter of whom is
in Jail in Brooklyn on charge of
defsulting.
The indictment contains three
counts. One has reference to large

papers, November 4, 1906, exploiting
a bogus train wreck on the A. d
B Railroad. The second count
charges the fraudulent advertise

in New York at the time the adver.
tisements were run, and that even in
running them he had followed prac-
tice long prevailing in Portland He

by H. K. Carroll, L. L. D., first as
sisting corresponding secretary of the
Missionary Society of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and were first
puplised in the New York Christian
Advocate of January II, 1907. DR..
Carroll was In charge of the govern.

According to these figures, the

dealers, distillers, brewers and recti

church had gained "a. $50 or AT per
cent over the numbers given for
1905. while the liquor army had lost
"a, 979 or 25 per cent during the
same year. Deducting the number
of Jews and Mormons, leaves
81, 9Ol, S54 as.the numerical strength OF
the Christian church. The average
ratio of voters to population for the
past 10 presidential elections is l to
8 8. Assuming that the proportion
of voters in the churches is the same
as in the general population, there
are in the Christian church of our
country approximately 1896, 759
voters, or 42.l9 per cent Of the entire
voting population ESTIMATED as l3,
800, ,0O0). Surely the chruch carries at
least the "bslsnce Of power ~
On the other hand, assuming that
every person enumerated as engaged
In the liqour trade is a voter, the
number of these, 2s3, 7lS, is less than
one.twentieth the voting strength Of
tn churches, and only 1886 per cent
of the voting population.
In the Oregon campaign Of 1906,
each saloon. keeper was called upon by
the liquor interests to furnish five
votes. Let us suppose that, on an
average, each person engaged in the
liquor business has at his command

own a voting force of LAS, ,565, OF
less than 1851 per cent of the voting

These figures leave entirely out OF
the account the hundreds Of thous.
ands of citizens who are adherents OF
the church, though their names dc
not appear on its membership lists.
So even giving the saloon forces the
benefit of every doubt, it would ap.

Number of persons engaged in the

The church has s. 8s6, 759 voters
The saloon has 2S8, 713 voters.

The statement Is Frequently repeated
in their religious press, that Christian
voters are responsible for the saloon
ridden condition of large part Of
our country, and very often someone
denies the correctness of that state
ment, declaring that it is the power,
and not the will, that is lacking In
the church. Doubtless it is nearer the
truth to say that the church is only
beginning to realize its strength as
measured by ballots.

strength of the church as compared
with that of the saloon, makes
