4 Pointer for the Fans.

We note by the last issue of the
Virginian the regrets of our frater.
nal brother that Artie O'Dea is not
to manage the Virginia ball team
the coming season; also an amount
of suggestive advice relative to the
securing of a competent manager
for the team, placing it up to the
boys to secure as manager one who
80 strenuously insists that he knows
the reason of failure of previous
teams and permit him, through
profiting by the errors of others, to
guide the prospective range pen
nant winners to glorious pinnacle
of fame and financial. plethora the
coming season. And if the boys
have no vacancy left for manager
we would suggest the selection of
Mr.. Cuppernul1 as treasurer of the
organization, that the contributions
to the sport and the gate receipts
may be preserved unto righteous
ends.
On the other hand, however, we
do think Bro. Cuppernull is wrong
in attributing the disgust of Vir-
ginia business men with base ball
to the idea that the affairs of the
Club have been run by "kids." It is
more properly attributable to the
fact that members Of the silk-stock.
ing and "cholly" fraternity who, as
dirty.faced urchin ns, had learned the
rnaiments OF th>sis; are, and who
have for several Measons past per-
sisted in putting themselves for
ward as the only sunflowers in the
garden by butting in on the players
bench instead of taking their prop.
er place on the bleachers.
1t is men who know a base ball
from mud marble that are being
sought for the seasons work on the
diamond, and a good team need
have no fear of ample support, de-
spite the fact that one man has TAX
en- occasion to get out his hammer
because the boys saw fit to bid Artie
good-day.

The lecture by the Rev. James
Hogan upon Ireland's patron saint
was elaborate and appealing, the
speaker in powerful and convinc-
ing manner recounting the many
trials and tribulations of the Irish
race in their struggles for freedom;
of the great men of the Irish race,
which has produced some of the
greatest characters in the worlds
history; among examples he named
were Edmund Burke, Robert EN-
met, Andrew Jackson and Phil
Sheridan. He eulogized the great.
ness of the United States, and re.
counted the prominent part played
in its growth and development by
the Celts.
The Irish Jig, danced by twelve
fair maids and stalwart youths and
led by Miss Margaret Murphy,
ELECTED deserved ovation, each
participant acquitting themselves
in a most creditable manner.
AS accompanist Miss Josephine
Sterile displayed pleasing ability,
while the instrumental numbers by
Miss Sterile and Miss Minnie Cohen

Iron RANGE to Handle 1000. 600 Tons

Nine million tons is the unofficial
estimate of the amount of ore that
tne Duluth & Iron Range road will
snip from Two Harbors the coming
season. The road shipped about
o'1oo'ooo tons last year. The increase
will have to come from the Mesaba

DISTRICT NOT RESPONSIBLE
Complaints Regarding Water Sup
ply Should 60 to War Dena r+,o.,,+

u
The Commissioners and the officials of
the District water department have re-
celved numerous complaints the past wee,,
from business men and residents in the
central section of the city about the low
pressure OF their water service and in
some instances scarcity of water. w =
Mcfarland, superintendent of the water
department, said today that these inouir-
les nave been embarrassing to him. as the
District Is IN no way responsible for the
condition complained of. He states that
the war Department of the United States
winch mas supervision of the Was hinrton
acqueduct and the filtration plant should
be appealed to.
Mr. Mcfarland said the jurisdiction of
the war department over the water sun
ply is absolute. and the only connection
the Dlstrlct has is In its distribution. The
present trouble he believes to be due TO
some repair work being made on one of
the valves. He said the officials of the
War Department in charge of the ultra
tlon plant never acquant the local wafer
department officials with any changes ar
actions contemplated by them in connec-
tion with the water service, and the lat
yer know no more about them than do the
citizens Wv VIZ
Mr.. Mcfarland stated that this condi-
dltlon is an excellent argument in favor
or the consolidation of the water supply
with the water distribution, bringing both
under the Jurisdiction of the District He
Is of the belief that a much better service
could be assured If the two branches were
placed under one department.

Judges View of the Sale Of Cigar
cites to Bows

That law should be enacted whereby
boy could be fined for buying cigarettes
or tobacco as well as the dealer who sells
it to him was advocated by Judge Kim
ball from the bench of the Police Court
today.
THAT would come pretty near stopping
this evil" he added.
The condemnation Of the use of cigar
cites by the small boy came when Judg1
kimball rendered his decision in the case
of Edward Spaulding of Georgetown
charged with selling tobacco to minors
Spau.ding was convicted and fined. $40. In
| expressed the opinion above quoted. The
propositions which he laid down We're:
| That he will impose the highest penalty
of the law, $40 fine, in every case that
comes before him if the defendants guilt
is proved.
That a dealer has no business to take
the word of a boy about his age, because
boys will lie to get tobacco and liquor.
That the dealer is just as guilty of a
violation of the law, whether or not the
boy claims to be over sixteen years of
age, the age fixed in the law. In cases of
doubt, the judge advised that there
should be no sale.
That the boy who buys cigarettes should
be fined well as the dealer who sells
them to him.
There is nothing that is so much injur-
ing the young people of today as the
smoking of cigarettes" the judge de-
clared. II see boys four five and six
years old on the streets smoking cigar
going to do all in my power to stop the
evil. -

HORRIBLY INJURED.
Lafayette L. Turner's Arm Crushed
by Machinery,

Lafayette l.. Turner whose home is at
1927 18th street southwest, narrowly es-
capped a horrible death last night, his
hand catching in the machinery while he
was at work in the bureau of engraving
and printing The accident occurred about
1870 o'clock. His hand was drawn
through the big machine at which he was
working, and had 1t not been for the
presence of mind Of another employe he
would PROBABLY have been fatally hurt.
His hand passed through the machinery
without sustaining much injury but the
bones in his elbow were mashed and the
flesh badly torn. The injured man was
cared for at the bureau until he could
be removed to the Emergency Hospital
in the hospital ambulance. He suffered
intense agony and his condition was such
that the surgeons feared an amputation
would be necessary.
Turner was suffering so greatly from
shock when he reached the hospital that
an anesthetic was administered. 1t was
stated at the hospital this morning that
every effort will be made to save his arm,
although the injury is a severe one and
the surgeons fear amputation will be
necessary.
