NO DAMAGE DONE
TO THE TRl-STATE
Drafting by The Big Leagues
will Not Affect Il in
the Least
BUT THREE PLAYERS TAKEN

ALTOONA. Sept 9-Tho first draft
ing list issued by National commis-
sion proved a rude shock to the fans
in the Tri-state circuit who have been
boosting this league as the fatest
minor In the country. Likewise they
stampel as suDerheated atmosphere
the vamperings of the writer's who
have been telling their readers that
the Tri-State would go TO smash be-
cause the major leagues would take
all thes tar players
Tho drafting list shows that but
three players have been snapped up-
Wolverton Of Wnllamsport, by Cincin-
natl; Zimmerman OF Harrisburg. by
ST. Louis, and lIerzog. Of Reading, by
the New York Americans. OF the
three drafts the only one that looks
real is Horzogs. OF course. a nuni-
her Of plavers have been purchased
by major league teams but even these
alleged purchases are mot above sus-
picion. II has been openly stated
that the purchases We're merely a new
method of covering up" with the
difference that instead Of a big league
club covering up q promising player in
minor league, a minor league was
covering up number of valuable
players in a major league. So far as

found Otto on the blacklist and nulH-
fed the contract. Joe Ward, short

VIII not go through. II is estimated
that not more than five per cent OF
the more than 10 players in the Tri-
state win go into the majors and stav
there The Tri-State will contain next
year plenty OF players to keen up the
high-class baseball played in past
years, but IL may be to advantage TO
do considerable trading TO better ball
ance the teams. instead Of permitting
two teams 10 fight for The pennant all
season. If the teams were more evenly
matched the race would be more in
teresting and players who are now
dissatisfied would perhaps find more
congenial herths.
Three former Trl-State stars ere
now trying TO win the Mountain
League pennant for Tyrone They
are Jack Bonner. formerly of Altoona:
Pete Agnew. former manager Of Har-
risburg. and Dick Harley. formerly

is CAPTAIN Of the team. Tyrone stands
second in the race. and the town is

INJUNCTION STOPS FUNERAL.
Mother and Son Are In Court Over
Body of Chas. Barrett.

An emergency injunction issued by
he superior court at Bellingham and
served next morning prevented the
burial of Charles Barrett at Ferndale,
at 10 o'clock Friday, the hour fixed for
the funeral. A few days ago Charles
Bennett of Blaine arrived al the home
of his son. c. H. Barrett, who lives
near Ferndale.
The father who had been ill for some
time, became worse rapidly and died,
states a Bellir.gham report. After the
death the son went to the home of his
mother in Blaine and told her of the
fathers death. He also informed his
mother that his father would be buried
at Ferndale and that the funeral would
be held at his home near that place.
Recovering from the shock occas
ioned by the news, Mrs. Barrett told
her son that she wanted the funeral
held at her home and that the body
should be inferred ir. the cemetery at
Blaine. The son would not agree with
the wish of his mother and stated that
his will should be law, and that in no
circumstance would he permi, the body
to be taken to Blaine.
The sheriff's office gives the informal
ton that the son said that if the body
of his father was taken from Ferndale
it would be over his own dead body.
Realizing that The son in charge of the
body would not yield, the mother
went to Bellingham ana called at the
home of Judge Neterer at midnight,
telling him her troubles and requesting
that the temporary restraining order
should be issued.
1t is said that strained relations ex-
listed between the son at Ferniale and
other members of the family at Blaine
over the property of the dead man. In
some manner, it is alleged, the son in
duced the father to furnish money to
buy property, the deed to which was
made out in the name of the son.

EDITOR
IS NOT GUILTY
Sustained His ChaPgesAgainst
vOn MO|tke

BERLIN, Oct 29-MaximiIlian Har-
den, the Berlin editor, charged with
libel by Count Won Moltke on account
of Harden's charges that Won Moltke
and others who surrounded the kaiser,
were immoral and degenerates. was
found not guilty today, and acquitted
by the judge. When Justice Kern
read his decision acQuitting Harden
and odering Won Moltke to pay all
costs of the trial Won Moltke appeared
to be almost sinking in his chair and
sobbed violently. When Ee left the
court room he was supported NY
friends and was hissed and hooted by
the mob.
Harden appeared and was given an
enthusiastic reception. AS Won Moltke
attempted to force his way to the
carriage his friends were compelled to
beat back the crowd that surrounded
the veteran. Cries of kill the wife
beater," down with the moral leper,
We're heard and in the meanwhile an
other crowd had gathered about Har-
den and carried him on their shoulders
to his cab. The court room was crowd
ed, the army and bar being largely
represented. When Justice Kern read
his decision, which was outlined in his
first few sentences a rush was made
for Harden. Order was not restored
for 20 minutes.
In Justice Kerns decision he de-
clared that all of the editors charges
were sustained without the shadow of
doubt and that the Knights of the
Round Table" had been guilty of many
gross political intrigues and hideous
orgies That Harden was justified in
making the exposure and he deserved
the thanks of the nation for so doing.

GAMBLING CASE
BEING HEARD
Witnesses Tell About Playing
al Roulette

In the case of the state. of Washing
ton VS.. Charles Preston. charged with
conducting a gambling house. the wit
nesses this afternoon made every effort
to shield the defendant, although when
pinned down to facts they admitted
that Preston had conducted a gambling
place, roulette wheel being the means
by which money changed hands.
William a. Welles was the first
called and testified that ne had gam
bled in the room under the Monogram
saloon. that he had never gone there
except by appointment, that Preston
did not keep the place open for busi-
ness. but that when they went there
to gamble Preston unlocked trap
door which he was always careful to
lock after him. tAat the place was
never lighted. ready for business, pur
that it was always necessary to light
up and get the tables ready; that he
Preston, Brigham and one other man
were the only. ones who ever went
down there and that Preston had re-
fused to let anyone else in on the deat
j. Nj. Brigham gave pactically the
same testimony. saying that ne had
bought chips there which were re-
deemable in money. Asked if ne HAD
ever cashed any. he said he had never
cashed very many.
John j. Moe testified that he owned
half the Monogram saloon and thai
Preston had been given the privilege
to keep some goods there until he
could get another place. There were
some gambling tables among the
goods. including a roulette board
without a wheel.

SLEPT WITH DOG.
M other Has Unnatural Feeling for Her
Child.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The case of
Mrs. Annie Mohr, OF Corona, L. l.,
with compelling her 7-year-old
daughter to sleep in the basement with
a mongrel house dog. and with other
wise ill treating the child, is attracting
attention to the unnatural treatment
bv a mother of her own child.
Her family is III comfortable cir
and there are two other
children, both of whom are we'll kept
and we'll treated. Martha. the abused
child. is the second child of the three
in the family. Both the elder and the
younger sisters, who were in court
when the mother was arraigned, looked
happy and smiling.
Peter Mohr, the father, in testifying
said his wife took a strange and unac-
countable dislike to Martha aid all
efforts to overcome it were unavailing.
They finally gave the child out for
adoption, but the foster mother soon
died and they were compelled to take
Martha back home again.
No amount of persuasion could in
duce Mrs. Mohr to accept the little one
as her own, and since then the child
has simply lived like an outcast. When
she appeared in court her body was
covered with bruises, the marks of re-
peated beatings, while she covered in
fear every time an unexpected move
was made. In noticeable contrast to
her two sisters, Martha's clothing was
coarse and ragged.
The case is still pending in court,
but meantime a childrens society is
caring for Martha.

SUIT SOON TO
Be COMMENCED
FRIENDLY CITY BOND CASE BE
INSTITUTED IN SUPERIOR
COURT FRIDAY.

Suit to determine the validity of the
500. 900 issue of city bonds for the
purpose of building the city hail. will
be started in the superior court as soon
as the present jury is dismissed, which
will, in all probability, be Thursday.
The friendly suit against the city
should be started Friday and after it's
start will be pushed as rapidly as
possible to final decision in the su-
preme court.
The question of the validity of the
bonds is one which has caused the city
much trouble in the past and it is Ole
which has not been thoroughly set
tied.
The bonds were issued and the Har-
ris Trust and Savings bank of Chicago,
agreed to take them if their attorney
was satisfied with their validity. After
some time, the attorneys made con-
trary report and the bonds were re-
fused. E. H. Rollins & Son then
agreed to take the bonds, and knew of
the trouble with the other company
but said they would take them. Later
they too, refused to take them. giving
the same excuse as the other COM
pany, that the city had already ex-
ceeded the limit of lis bonded indebt-
edness and that the further issue was
illegal.
The city claimed that the bonds were
legal because the issue of water bonds
which the city had made, did not come
under the head of general Indebted
ness, and was therefore not under TINS
law. And in that case, the city would
have margin enough left to issue the
new batch of 100000.
1t was then taken up by the Com
mercial club and one committee was
appointed to take the matter up Win
the council, while another raised S4o,-
600 ready money on warrants, it being
claimed there was that much margin
undisputed by anyone. After raising
nearly all of this amount. it was de-
cided that this too, would be illegal
and the sale of warrants was stopped.
II was then decided to roof the build
ings over for the winter and let the
work be discontinued, while suit was
brought in the superior court to test
the validity.
Tn order to do this. Stanley Dean, OF
the DEAL Mclean Abstract company
agreed to take theoretically. Slo'ooo
block of the bonds which he refused
when offered to him. On this basis the
city will bring suit to test the Vaiiui's
of the bonds. The case VIII De at once

SECOND SERMON
T0SAVE SOULS
Object Of Meetings is Not
Membership

At the tabernacle last night, a large
crowd gathered to hear the second
evening service of the united Methodist
revival meetings which are being held
in the city now.
The music at these meetings is one
of the most attractive features. Rev.
Magann leads the singing and demon
strates that he is not only a soloist of
great ability, but also that he is cho-
rister of note. Last night there were
about a hundred voices in the choir and
it is to the singing that the sue
cess of the meeting will, in a great
measure, be due. Before the service,
Rev. Magann rendered the beautiful
solo, Back to Pentecost." which was
the theme of the sermon which fol-
lowed.
Rev. Hart chose his text last night
from Mathew III, 3 Prepare Ye," and
Luke. XIV, 40, "Tarry Ye". During
the course of the sermon, Rev. Hart
stated the object of the meetings was
not to build up any particular de-
nomination. to get membership or
financial aid, but to win souls.

AWARDS PLAINTIFF DAMAGES
NOTED WALLULA DAMAGE SUIT
RESULTS IN PECULIAR
VERDICT.

Damages for the plaintiff in the sum
of $435 was the verdict reached by the
jury yesterday evening in the damage
suit of T. w. Johns, versus S. A. Ash.
The verdict was reached by the jury
in less than one hours deliberatiOn.
The legal contest was interesting and
cleanly fought. Both sides presented
what seemed to be damaging testimony
and the evidence submitted by several
of the witnesses furnished considerable
amusement to the members of the local
bar. The amount named by the jury
in their verdict was rather a "stunner'
for both sides. as the plaintiff sued
for $4,000, and the defense was positive
that the case was easily won.
