Child Born to Wife Of Accused MuF-
derer On the Fourth"
West Chester, Pa. July 10.-The
news that since his Incarceration he
has become a father has been carefully
withheld from Irwin A. Lewis, who
awaits trial in the county Jail here on
the charge OF having murdered his
stepdaughter, Mary Newlin. His child
was born on July 4, and it has been
feared that knowledge Of this might
upset him, and perhaps lead TO fur
ther unwise condolences on the part Of
the prisoner.
The child was born at the home Of
John Newlin. father of Mrs. Irwin Lew
is, where she has been staying since
the alleged confession Of her husband
that he buried Mary Newlin.
The diRculty which arose over the
admission of the testimony of District
Attorney MacElree, which has been
said to be the only evidence that Lew
is has confessed, has been obviated by
the action Of Mr.. MacElree in declin-
ing to prosecute the case. He regrets
that he cannot conduct the case, but
thinks that he will be more powerful

The Game Of Net Ball.


Take a racket, a tennis ball, a fish
landing net, a stretch of clear ground
and a friend. Give your friend the net
and try a forty yard volley drive at
him. Let him Tor herr catch the drive
with the net; exchange implements and
let him (or herr drive at you When
you have done this the charm Of net
ball will not have to be explained and
you will be ready to look into the way
in which it is played. The game has
the excitement of real outdoor sport,
but it is without the walking and wait
ing of golf. the violence Of basket bah
or the endless repression of tennis,
in which one must always consider the
narrow limits put on the splendid
driving power of the rackets. The joy
of the long, free volley drives of net ball
is a great part of the game. and this
leads to many interesting variations in
the way of driving and netting contests
and varied target competitions. In its
various forms the game is adapted to
all ages and conditions of men, women
and children. In general, as with all
new games, experience must work out
Its salvation. The game is most
elastic; handicaps innumer9ble may be
used to keep up the interest and to
bring players of varying ability to-
gether. Played with the good nature
that ought to rule all games it is bound
to be a great addition to outdoor life
and its sports.-Gilbert TOmpkins in

MAYOR SCHMITz
GETS FIVE YEARS
FrisOo's Chief Magistrate Sent to
Jail For Extortion.
BENTENCE BRINGS CHEERS


San Francisco July 9.-Mayor Eu-
gene q Schmitz, convicted Of extOr-
tien, was sentenced to Eve years in
the psnitentiATy. When the sentence
was pronounced there was a remark.
able outburst of applause from the
hundreds of persons who crowded
Judge DuPne's court room.
Judge Dunno sentenced Mayor
Schmitz to Imprisonment in San Quen-
tin penitentiary. Sentence followed
the recent conviction of Schmitz for
extorting SITS from French restaur-
ant keepers of San Francisco.
As the last words Of the sentence
fell from the judges lips the great
crowd that had stood throughout the
dramatic scene, sent up a thundsrOus
cheer. Good for you" shouted a man
IN the back Of the room. His ejacula-
ton was echoed and re-echoed by one
after another Of the spectators. Sew
eral threw their hats into the air;
others serambled upon chairs to look
over the shoulders Of the crowd, the
greatest confusion prevailed.
Attorney Fairall. of the defense,
raising his voice above the din, called
out to Judge Dunno:
you k7nor, this cheering is a very
unssemly occurrence" !
We'll" retorted Judge Dunno with !
spirit, ''if we had a sheriff worthy of
the name it would have been stopped |
instantly"
The sentencing Of the convicted /
mayor was in one respect without a
parallel in the criminal annals Of San
Francisco. Half a dozen times Judge
Dunno was interrupted by Schmitz,
who protested in strong words against
the delivery OF a lecture" instead of
the pronouncement of judgment He
accused the court Of unnecessarily hu-
initiating him and giving opportunity
for further humiliation by the report
ing Of his remarks in the press Once,
replying to the prisoner, Judge Dunno {
said:
Such brazen effrontery was prob I
ably no more than should be expected
and it was the duty of the court to
bear It in patience"
Immediately after the passing of I
sentence Attorney Fairall asked that I
schmitg be admitted to bail. pending q
an appeal. Bills Of exception we're
then fled and Judge Dunno granted a
Of probable cause. enabling
sehmitz to carry to the district court ,
Of appeals his motion for a new trial.

intttA...- 80. -,enission De-
edes It Doesn't discriminate.
Washington. July 9.-The interstate
commerce commission has decided
that the Jim Crow car law is not dis
Iriminatory where equal facilities are
furnished to both races. In passing
upon the constitutionality of the laws
enacted by southern states requiring
railroads to furnish separate coaches
for the races. the commission holds
that the broad question of the right
under the 18th and 14th amendments
Of the constitution to segregate white
and colored passengers has been up
held by the supreme court of the Unit
ed States"
The decision in the Jim Crow car
case was written by Commissioner
Franklin K Lane, of SalifOrnia, and
there was not a dissenting opinion
among the entire membership of the
commission. This fact in itself is sig
for when the railway rate bill
was before congress one of the most
persistent arguments offered in oppO- |
sition to the measure by its opponents
in the south related to the possibility |
Of the people Of that section being |
deprived Of the right to compel ne
groes to ride in separate coaches.
The most recent outcry against the
aw providing separate coaches for the
races was that Of Senator Foraker in
his speech at Wilberforce, o., when
be urged the negroes to resist the en-
'orcement of this law.
