With the score standing > TO = in
favor of the Shipbuildcrs the game
was finally awarded to the artillery
men because Capt. Reynolds refused
TO allow his team TO continue play,
after umpirer Harrison had given the
decision, which brought about the
misunderstanding. The decision that
brought about the trouble was Il
slide by Mathews TO the home plate
where the ball had been thrown by
Reynolds. after it had been blocked
and again placed in play by throwing
it to the pitcher Mathews slide
was good one and many of the
spectators said he was just little
short of the plate when he was
caught. umprer Harrison said
safe" ana Reynolds called his men
from the diamond. After waiting five
minutes Reynolds was again asked
to play. but refused and the game
was given TO Fort Monroe by the
score of to o by Mr. Harrison.
The contest was marked by consid-
cradle kicking over the rulings of
the umpires-there were two men
holding the indicators. Private Hall
retired in he eighth. leaving tie
field TO Harrison.
Fort Monroe made two runs in the
first but was unable to get another
man home after that. until the trou-
bic came in the ninth Newport
News scored in the fourth twice and
sent another man around the dia-
mond in the fifth This ended the
run getting.
The game was raggedly played, al
though there were one or two very
exciting plays.

Mr.. G. c. Mitchell an attorney OF
Newport News, spent sometime in
the cell with Fred Gutierrez. who is
charged with stabbing to death Gar
ret Walsh ana seriously injuring two
other sailors from the battlcship
Maine, yesterday. Mr.. Mitchell was
closcted with the prisoner for two
hours in the morning and again in
the afternoon he saw Gutierrez.
Mr.. Fay S. Collier. the Hampton at.
torney. also visited Gutierrez IN his
cell yesterday. The prisoner sent a
message To Mr.. Collier to come To SEQ
him.
While neither Mr. Collier, nor Mr.
Mitchell gave out any statement il is
generally believed that Gutierrez en-
gagged the two attorneys to defend
him when he is placed on trial in the
Circuit Court

Gutierrez. at her home in Phoebus

his surroundings in the jail yester

should be granted bail and it is not
unlikely that habcas corpus proceed
ings may be brought later with the
view to securing his release on n
large bail bond. This, however, is
not authoritivc.
Gutierrez still contends that he
cut the three sailors in dcfenuing his
own life and it is probable that he
will make the plea of selfdcfense
before the jury

The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1907-07-09

IL printed in that article. We should
think that that "strained effort
would stop the mouth of the News from
applying the phrase strained efforts -
10 anybody else in connection with tho
city s finances. The News further says,
as above, ''the claim was made the
other day that all the talk about a
deficit was for political purposes and,
further, elf the figures are wrong, this
should be easy to provo, and thus cor
rect the Impressions they have made. -
Exactly go. That is precisely what The
Tribune has done in this case. It
showed the falsity of the News 5 fig
ures, and has made the necessary cor.
rection in a public way. And the fact
that the whole outcry Of which the
News article is sample, is so notorious
as to be commonplace.
Now let the News print the facts, so
that its exclusive clientele may have
the benefit of them, and then the
whole public will be far better in,
formed than it is now. And the read
ers Of the News will be lifted out of
the rut in which the false and "doc'
tored" figures which the News printed
have dumped them.
