THE BALL GAME.

The much advertised ball game
of last Sunday between the Bax-
ter Invincibles and the Kansas
City Southern boys was pulled
off according to schedule, but it
was a hippodrome affair, the Wis
itors only making two tallies
while the locals piled up fifteen.
The Southerns are a nice set of
boys, but they can't play ball a
little bit.
The score:
X. C. 100000
Baxter a SOL 3O2-l5
The game next Sunday will re-
ally be a ball game. The Scam
mon Maroons are coming to Bax-
ter Springs to play the locals,
and there will be something do
ing at every turn of the game.
The locals suffered defeat at the
hands of the Scammonites last
summes, and once this summer
have been beaten by them. The
locals claim, however, that the
Scammonites can not do it again,
and we certainly expect the game
Sunday to be a very fine one. We
hope there will be a lot of rooters
out for the locals, as they may
need them. Harlan will pitch
for the locals and Rolla will
catch.

HOME RULE BILL
 TO BE EXPLAINED Provisions Long Held Secret Will be Read in Com
 mons To-Morrow.
SPLIT IN THE CABINET
Asquith Threatens to Resign if Self-Government
 is Proposed.

London, May 5.-With the negotia- tions, which have been prolonged. ex- tending up to the last moment, and all ! those participating in them bound to secrecy, little is known as to the pro- visions of the Irish council bill, the main proposals of which Augustine
 Birrell chief secretary for Ireland, promised to explain to the house of commons May '.
 There has been keen contest going on in the cabinet between the home rulers, represented by Sir Henry Camp bell-Bannerman and Mr. Birrell, and the anti-home rulers led by Herbert H. Asquith, chancellor of the ex- chequer, and Richard Burdon Haldane, secretary for war, with the former de- sirous of giving Ireland what John Redmond has described as at least a foundation for government, and Messrs. Asquith and Haldane demand ing that the bill shall not bear any re- semblance to home rule. MT. Asquth has gone so far as to say that if the bill contains anything, in letter or in spirit, inconsistent or In violation of the pledges he has made against home rule, he will resign and there is little doubt that he would be followed by MT. Haldane, and probably other mem bers of the cabinet.
 John Redmond has not been an idle spectator in these negotiations, but has taken a prominent part in them and been given every opportunity to state his views, which needless to say, were at first demand for the fullest meas ure of self-government. This, 1t was early pointed out to him, he could not expect to obtain for two chief reasons the government had not received the mandate of the people at the last elec- ton to grant home rule, and several of the most prominent members of the cabinet were opposed to it. The labor ites, all of whom are home rulers mot only for Ireland, but in all local af- fairs-have been supporting the nation alists, but even this would not justify Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman los Ing two members of his cabinet in
 whom the people have the greatest confidence.
 Faced with the impossibility of ob- taining an Irish parliament with an executive responsible to 1t, Mir Red
 mond Is carrying on the fight to get as large an installment of home rule as Is possible, and now 1t is announced that if this scheme lays foundation on
 which Ireland can build, the national- ists will consider whether 1t is worth accepting. MT. Redmond had con- ference Saturday with his chief advis- CTS, including John Dillon, Edward Blake and T. P. O'Connor, when what
 the government wasN sNprepared to offer

INDOOR OUTING
 BY M. STEINERT Symphony Orchestra, Mem bers of Dorscht Lodge and
 Others His Guests.
NEsTOR IN HIS GLORY
Royal Demonstration of Friendship on Arising
 to Speak.

H
 Music and sentiment were the two things most prominent at the steinert Atheneum last night. When Morris steinert, the city's esteemed piano dealer and manufacturer, gave ban quet to the members of the New Ha- ven Symphony orchestra, Dorschs lodge and the Second Regiment band. There were also present some mu- sicians from various places throughout the state. Also present were others who had no connection with the musi- cal profession but who are ardent ad- mirers of the host of the evening Mir. Steinert, surrounded by his friends, was happy and in his glory The large gathering was certainly a proof of the esteem in which Mir. Steinert is held in New Haven and other places. The guests met in the lodge rooms up- stairs where they were welcomed by MT. Steinert At nine o'clock headed by the Second Regiment band they marched downstairs and entered the banquet hall where a bountiful re- past was served
 The Dorscht Lodge orchestra, under the leadership of Frank Fichtl set the pace of the evening by rendering in very masterly manner Offenbach,s overture, "orpheus." This was follow cd by the "Dorscht March No 2.'s which was received with great ap- plause. After ample justice had been done to the good things on the table the orchestra struck up the German national anthem. which was followed by My Country Tis of Thee.' The guests joined with enthusiasm in the vocal part of the music which brought out great demonstration of pa- triotism
 Colonel N. G. Osborn, editor of the Journal and Courier, acted as toast- master and introduced the host of the eveain= as one who loved music and musicians and through whose veins ever flowed the milk of human kiild- ness.
 MT. Steinert was received with an outburst of enthusiasm that has sell dom been accorded to any one in the musical profession of New Haven. MT. steinert m few appropriate remarks thanked his guests for the reception accorded him. He loved music and ile loved musicians They were comrades of his, he said, and he acknowledged that he was under many obligations to them. He enjoyed giving them an out ing in the summer time and he also took great pleasure in giving them an inGoor outing at this season of tho year. The month of May was to him the most beautiful month in all the year. Nature was throwing otf her winter mantle and the violet and the rose would soon adorn the earth again.

DIED OF EXHAUSTION. MARVIN CHILD'S END. No Indication of Murder Playmates Attend 
 Funeral.

Dover, Del, May 5.-The body of Horace Marvin, jr., which was found on Saturday lying in pool of water less than half a mile from where he was last seen playing on March f, was inferred to-day in Bay Meadow Lawn" on the Marvin farm.
 All the little fellows playmates and fully d thousand neighbors joined the Marvin family in mourning his death, and attended the funeral services
 Prior to the funeral twenty-four men, composing Coroner Calloway's jury, officially identified the body and au- thorized the performing of an autopsy The jury was then discharged to re- convene at the call of the coroner.
 There Is much to make 1t appear that the little boy, for whom detectives searched so long, wandered away and fell exhausted into the pool on the marshes where his body was found.
 Doctors are trying to determine the cause of death coroner, and have de- cided that the boy did not drown. No marks of violence were found on the pOQJs lht ptOliluNlly WUiNA WdS iG- moved by Dr. Robyn, was empty, and the child may either have been frozen or starved to death. The condition of the stomach indicates, according to the physicians, that the boy suffered pri- vation for at least forty hours prior to death.
 Many are of the opinion that the boy wandered around his fathers farm and in his efforts to get back home over the frozen marshes became exhausted and fell into the pool where he died from exhaustion and privation.
 To have reached the spot where the body was found the boy must have walked across frozen and snow-sover- ed fields in the fact of driving wind, and then climbed two high embank- ments, besides crawling through a barbed wire fence.

FLORISTS WIN
 IMPORTANT FIGHT U. s. Express Co.'S Rate Un- reasonable, Excessive
 and Unjust.
MUST NOW REDUCE II
Local and State Dealers Will Take Up Contest Against
 Adams Go.

Washington, D. C., May 1.-The in terstate commerce commission has rendered it's first opinion in case in- volving the reasonableness of an ex- press rate The case was brought by the Society of American Florists, who claimed that the rate charged by the United States Express company on cut flowers from New Jersey points to New York city was unreasonable, ex- cessive and unjust. This rate till July, 1906, was 50 cents per hundred pounds, and at that time was raised to $1 per hundred pounds.
 Commissioner Franklin Lane, who delivers the opinion of the commission, holds that the rate should be reduced to 50 cents per hundred pounds. The express company defended It's increase of 100 per cent in it's rate by claiming that the delivery service given cut flowers in New York was much more exrensive than that given other arti- cles, and that it could not increase its rate a sufficient amount to meet the expense of this special service without largely increasing the total rate, be- cause of it's contracts with the rail- roads under which it is required to pay 45 per cent, of It's gross receipts to the railroad companies for their service.
 From the opinion of Commissioner Lane it appears that the United States Express company has contracts with the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad company by which ths railroad company receives 45 per cent. of the total gross receipts of tho express company; that the service rendered by the railroad company is no greater or different under the new rate of S1 than it was under the old rate of 50 cents; that tho railroad com pany now receives 45 per cent. of the $1 rate, namely, 45 cents per hundred pounds; that prior to May 1, 1906, the railroad company received but one-half of said amount for the same service; that the percentage of gross revenue paid by the express company to the Central Railroad company of New jersey IS fo per Ctill', anu lo LlS LSS- high Valley Railroad company 40 per cent. that the United States Express company employs agents at the points of origin here concerned, who are, generally speaking, paid for their ser vices in gathering, billing. loading, unloading and delivering express mat ter with a percentage of the gross re- ceipt5 at such offices, which percen- tages range downward from 20 per cent"
 The opinion contiues: "Elaborate ta- bles have been presented by the de- fendant ending to prove that the rate of 50 cents was unremunerative, owing to the percentage which 1t paid to the railroad added to the percentage which it paid to it's agents and the cost of delivery In New York. From these same figures it can also be adduced that the present rate of $1 is unre- munerative; and it may well be said that from an analysis of the charges made upon any single commodity or class of commodities transported by this company similar result could be arrived at,
