BASEBALL IS DEAD
 IN WARREN DISTRICT
Local Manager Has to Turn Down Offer to Meet the
 Team From Tucson.

Whether owing to the local labor situation or to strife in baseball ranks, the BisOee baseball fans will not be treated to much of that sport in the immediate future. Manager Tommie Blair yesterday was forced to decline an offer to visit Tucson with the local diamond artists owing to the crippled condition of his team.
 From the beginning of the season there has been strife in the internal ranks of basebalidom, and Blair has been up in the air" for lack of sup port from the players of the district who either refused to come out, or who became disgruntled because the man. ager showed a disposition to run his own team without dictation from any of the members.
 The crisis came last Friday when it was learned that just on the eve of the proposed Sunday game, Gale gos, the crack pitcher. had deserted to play with the Has Beens. Then came the Sunday game which was a veTit- able iasco. with wrangling and few blows sandwiched in.
 Unless the local situation brightens and the old players decide to go back to the game, Blsbee seems to have little chance of figuring in the base ball ranks of Arizona for the present season.

The prosecutions of the deputies were instituted in provincial courts for acts committed before the convocation of parliament The two men are L. F. Gerus. a teacher of So ciaI Revolutionists, and A. A. Kuzen- ioff. a Social Democrat of Simbursk, are accused of conspiring to over throw the state. The third, kupstas, a peasant land owner of Kovna, who was returned as member of the Left Party, is charged with making Ievoiu- tionary speeches.
 The Constitutional Democrats pro posed to refer the demand to a com mittee, but the Socialists and Social Democrats insisted on an immediate placed themselves on record against lIsS CAdSo4uCdllOu dS CfltAcS OI S0CI acts as the three deputies were charged with.
 Malexinsky, of the Social Democrats of St. Petersburg, in sn excited speech pointed out that the recognition of the ties exclusion might lead to the ex- ties exclusion might lead to the ex- clusion of third of. the members of the house.
 The minister of justice defended the demand. He said:
 We have clearly and pointedly pro vided for the temporary suspension of the deputies indicated for criminal acts"
 The house. he insisted, had no dis erection in the matter and he further asserted that the Russian courts were above suspicion, statement which was greeted with ironical laughter.

BATON, ROUGE, La, April 12.- Democratic Congressman George +. Favrot. was set free tonight after having been in jail continuously for five months ou a charge of murder. while awaiting the action of the grand jury. Today the second grand jury refused to indict the congressman.
 Favrot last october shot and killed Dr. Joseph R, Aldrich. of Baton Rouge, who had been his lifelong friend. The congressman declared that the physician made disparaging remarks about Mrs. Fayrot.
 Favrot, who was still judge of the Baton Rouge court, resigned and was indicted by the grand jury which had been selected under his jurisdiction before the shooting. Because one Juryman was illiterate the indictment was quashed.

PHILADELPHIA, April 12.-Among the many features which have been provided for the visitors at the con vention and reunion of the B. r.
