DEPARTMENTAL CHESS ~
LEAGUE FL0URISHING
IN ITS THIRD SEASON
Six Teams in Organization and Close Race for
Championship Every Wednesday
Evening at Washington Chess Club.

The Departmental Chess League was
organized in the fail Of 1906 with the
main object OF encouraging the pursuit
of chess as q pastirae among depart
ment employees.
There were many devotees Of the an
Client game IN the Government service
who for various reasons were not iden-
titled with the local chess club. and this
movement was intended to give such
men an opportunity TO enjoy some chess
at a small expenditure both of time
and money. With this end in view the
meetings OF the league have always
been held on one evening OF the week
"wednesday for limited season each
winter. and through the courtesy OF
the Washington Chess Club, where the
MEETINGS are held. the expense 20 the
members has been merely nominal.
The plan adopted Was to have a series
of matches between teams representing
the various departments, the team win
ming the greatest number of matches
TO be the champion for the ensuing sea
son and 10 be the holders Of challenge
trophy until defeated. Up to the pres
ent. however. the championship has
been somewhat of an empty honor, as
the executive committee of the league
has not vet found donor for the chal-
lenge emblem

NEW ORLEANS, La. Nov. 23.-The
racing season was inaugUrated at City
Park this afternoon, the Initial Handi-

ner in the stake race, towrOping the

Those aorsemen and track followers
W.. were under the impression that the
outlaw rule. or, rather. the interpreta-
ton Of the American Turf Associations
rule, regarding those who had raced at
unrecognized meetings, would be abrO-
gated, were rudeIy awakened today
when. 10 one and all, Manager VIM
gave notice that all entries Of horses
which had performed, or whose owBers
or trainers had participated in either
the racing at the new Louisiana Jockey
Clubs half mile track or the track
across the river at Algiers. known as
Suburban Park. would be barred from
both City Park and the Fair Grounds
tracks. Speaking of the matter, Mr..
VIM had this to say:
Ban on Outlaw Tracks.
I'VE do not intend to bother our heads
regarding what our sJ-called rivals may
or may not do. We have troubles enough
Of our own at present. So far as our
rulings are concerned. we will not even
recognize that these tracks are in opera

performing at the merry gO-rounds is
kent and their entries will not be &C
cepted by my racing secretaries.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
cold. bleak weather marked the usher
ing in of the winter racing season, a
banner opening day crowd was IN at
tendance and was rewarded by wit
Messing an exceptionally high order Of
racing. The Initial Handicap, which
carried 81 800 in added money. was the
real magnet OF attraction. The East
erners occupied the center Of the spot
light regarding the number Of entries
for this event. also furnishing the de-
cided public choice in Keator.
Jockey Nicol today denied the story
circulated throughout the country that

GIRL BITTEN.
Scorpion in Bananas Attacks
Young Lady Clerk
Physician Present.

Avon, April 12.-Miss Mabel Kirk,
daughter of David Kirk, proprietor of
a local restaurant and fruit store, had
an interesting adventure with what
was at first supposed to be a tarantula,
but which finally was found to be a
scorpion.
DR.. Hollingworth, a local physician,
entered Kinks place of business for
the purpose of purchasing some bana-
mas. While reaching up to cut clus
ter of bananas the deadly insect
crawled out and bit the girl on the END
of her fore finger. 1t was fortunate
for her that the physician CHANGED tc
be present.
The physician Immediately seized
the girl and tied string tightly
around her finger. Picking her up he
ran to his Office, where he made an in
cision in the wound SO it would bleed
freely, and then burned the wound out
with acids She now is none the
worse for her adventure because of the
prompt action of the physician.
Soon after the girl was bitten an
effort was made to find the poisonous
insect but without success, and it was
not until many hours afterward that il
was discovered crawling across the fool
of an adjacent room. 1t proved to be
a large species of the scorpion, which,
while not so deadly as the tarantula,
yet is q venomous insect.

PRIMARY LAW.
Decision by Attorney General
on Its Relations to
Cities.

Miller, April 12 2-Answering an in
quiry as t. how to proceed to adopt the
primary in cities Attorney General S.
W. Clark says:
The only provision in the new pri
mary election law that bears upon the
question you ask is contained in Sec
tion 4. This section reads as follows:
This act snail not apply to municipal,
town, township and school district
officers but may be adopted by ma
jority vote upon such proposition at
any election held therein.
From this you will see that the ques-
tion of adopting the primary law for
Municipalities may be voted upon at
any election in such municipality.
There is no provision as to who sub
mits the question, nor what notice
must be given, but it would seem that
the question may be proposed by any
one having an interest in the matter
and probably the same length of notice
would suffice as is given to the election
of officers. AS l have said, there is no
express provision on this subject and
no particular formality would be re-
quired. 1t is evident that if fair ex-
preston of the people is had and ma
jority are shown to favor the primary
law for municipal purposes there could
be no question raised as to the formai
ties unless there was such steps taken
as would prevent fair expression of
opinion upon this subject in the vote.
Yours truly, S. w. Clark.

DIVORCE PETITION.
Fraud in Obtaining Signature.
to Divorce Referendum
Petition.

Redfeld, April 12-The stories OF
fraud in connection with the effort of
certain parties to procure referendum
of the recent divorce legislation are
amply corroborated by citizens of Red
field.
A man from Sioux Falls was here a
few days ago with petition and used
every artitice to secure signers. The
principal means by which names were
secured was to represent to those not
acquainted with the laws or of the re,
cent bill that it was necessary to secure
signers to this petition in order to make
the recent divorce legislation effective
At least three citizens of Redfield
signed the petition upon misrepresenta-
tion, and the argument was used in
many places. Practically all those who
were acquainted with the bill! passed last
winter refused to sign, but by using
such arguments as were adopted by the
person in charge of the petition here
and appealing to those VINO are igno-
rant OF the law or who do not take
time to investigate the matter suffici-
ent number of signers may be secured.
Under these circumstances, however,
the petition, if one is filed. can un-
doubtedly be attacked on the ground Of
fraud and will be.
