WILL STICK
TO LEAGUE
And Make a Three-team
Circuit Of 1t
RUTLAND DROPS OUT OF IT
Schedule for Intercity, Burlington and
Plattsburg Is Now Being Drawn
UP--No eRason Why League
Can't Continue.

In spite Of the dropping out Of Rut-
land from the Vermont state baseball
league, President Van Duzer told the
local managers today that the league
would continue with three teams, Barre
Montpelier, Burlington and Plattsburg.
The managers af the three teams con
suited over the phone and came to the
conclusion that they could 60 it without
Rutland. So Plattsburg comes here to-
morrow and Burlington on Saturday,
with an exhibition game with Barton
on the Iutercity grounds Friday after
noon.
Manager Hays Of the Burlington
team, who has been trying to play his
team in both Newport, N. H, and Bur-
lington, has withdrawn from the former
place and win confne his attentions
to the Vermont league entirely. He
has got crowd Of players that will
draw well in Burlington, as well as in
the other two cities in the circuit.
Plattsburg Is showing o good deal OF
ginger and wants to stick to the game,
and the others are dead anxious for the
game. So the managers see no reason
why three-team league can't finish
the schedule and the season. A league
schedule is being drawn up today.
The Rutland men scattered 10 their
homes last night and today, Lougnlin,
Mahar and Hoye are going to Boston
and Donovan to Protland, while others
viii 30 to minor leagues. Manager
Milne says that he Is out S252.Tl,
and he IS quite bitter toward some
Rutland men who encouraged him to
go to Rutland and take the man
agcment of the team. Only few Of
the players have received cent of
salary, and some found themselves To-
day without a cent for carfare home. A
few Of them are owing board bills. In
fact, their condition Is good deal like
that of the Burlington players in the for.

Mr.. Editor:--T read in your paper Of
July is, an article from Mr.. Carpenter,
who, I understand, is president OF the
Washington creamery association; he
makes the statement that he is getting
returns from the creamery for ks but
ter fat equal to 81 or cents per quart
for his milk. In 100 lbs of r:ilk there
are about 46 rs quarts which at 4
cents per quart would bring $1,s7la. |
understand also, that last month, June,
the Washington creamery paid 26l5
cents per pound for butter fat. At that
price Mr.. Carpenter must have been paid
for over Z pounds Of butterfat to 100
pounds of his milk, to equal 4 cents per
quart. / would like TO inquire Of the
other patrons of the Washington cream
cry il they all get as good returns as
Mr. Carpenter says be dtes.
Respectfully,
h. B. Dodge.

AUTOMOBILES SPEEDING.
Is Charge Brought Against Z. c. Clark
Of Burlington.

Burlington, July 23.---L. G. Clark was
IN city court yesterday morning charged
with exceeding the speed limit with his
automobile on the Shelburne road. The
case was partially heard and was held
open. States Attorney A. u. Sherman
prosecutes and Mr.. Clark is represented
by a. q. Whitemore.
The only witness examined yesterday
was Deputy Sheriff Henry Todd, who
told Of seeing the automobile going south
in the Patash brook neighborlood at a
high rate Of speed. The defensei is that
the simple fact of exceeding the speed
limit may be overcome by other facts 50
as not to constitute negligence. The
question was also raised whether tbe
prosecution should be directed against
Mr. Clark or his chauffeur, Emery Mills,
who was driving the machine when the
alleged violation occurred.

Karlsruhe, July a3.--Karl Hau, a
brilliant young law professor Of Wash
ington, u. G., was condemned to death
this morning after a Ave days trial
for the murder of his wife's mother
Frau Molitor, wealthy resident o.
Baden Baden, in that city, November
6 last.
The prisoner heard the verdict Of
the jury with perfect composure and
chatted smilingly with his counsel af-
ter the judges withdrew to fix up his
sentence. Upon return of the judges
| he arose, and standing erect with fold
cd arms, listened to the sentence with
out moving a muscle. A moment later
he was hurried away to prison by half
d dozen policemen.
The sentence ii unpopular with the
street crowds, which have been demon
strating more and more openly for sew
oral days in Hau's favor and against
the Molitor family.
After the adjournment of the court
for an hours recess at eight O'Clock last
evening, the women Of the Molitor party
were compelled to remain in one Of the
offices Of the court house because il
was dangerous for them to appear in
the streets. "A carriage waited for them
I in the court yard And it was several
hours before they were able TO leave.
Meanwhile enormous crowds had assem-
bled in the streets adjacent to the court
house.
Cordons Dc police kept the crowds in
check for an hour or more, but then
lost control of them, the masses push
ing and crushing forward to the doors
with the evident intention Of storming
the entrance.
There were many shouts from the
crowd of ''Han is not guilty" the
voices penetrating to the court room.
inally two companies of infantry and
a squadron Of mounted police appeared
on the scene and drove the rioters be
fore them, The infantry with bayonets
cleared all the streets within 800 yards
of the court house.
A large number of arrests were made,
One old woman was trampled down by
the horses, and it Is reported that sew

Championship Golf on Ekwanok Links
Instead Of Rutland.

Manchester, July 23.-George Morse Of
Rutland. secretary Of the Vermont State
Golf association, announces that the
championship competition will be played
this year over the Ekwanok course Aug
ust to 3, instead Of at Rutland as ori.
ginally scheduled. The change Is made
necessary by the poor condition of the
putting greens ON the Rutland links. The
greens committee Of the Rutland county
club has spared no effort to put the
course in shape for the event, but has
been severely handicapped by the back
ward season The Ekwanok course on
the other hand Is in the pink Of condi-
tion so that it is deemed best to trans
fer the tournament there.
