POLO
WATERBURY IS . STILL WINNING Out of Last Place Now-Scores of
 Last Nights ames-Stauding of Teams.

Waterbury had no trouble in taking the Providence polo teams measure last night. The game was not so ex- citing as some others on account of the Onesidedness of the score. It was the middle of the third period before the Rhode Islanders got one in the netting. The final score was : to 8. The secret of the success of the Wa terbury polo team of late was dis closed by Manager Haliwell this morning. In the early stages of the game the local team lost so regularly and systematically that the cranks were beginning to lose heart. Just before the first victory some enthus fast tied a couple of horse shoes on the cages. That worked we'll enough for one game, but the defeats began to come along once more. Then one of the fiercest rOoters sought out Manager Halliwell aud presented him with a small and pocket worn nick ory nut. He said that while he car ried it, good luck attended him. Man ager Halliwell put it ill his pocket and thought no more of it, but since his team won the last three games at home, he thinks the nut is surely lucky piece. He is around showing it to his friends to-day After last nights victory money could not buy the little hickory nut. The score of last nights game follows:

THE DIAMOND
HARTFORD KNOWS
 ALL ABOUT US
The Seer Has Disclosed the Hid- den Secret-Other Base Ball
 Talk.

Hartford, Dec. 13.-Manager J.. H. Clarkin of the Hartford baseball team has had a letter from Pre- sident Pulliam of the National league asking his opinion on Sunday baseba. in Connecticut. The president of the National league is collecting opinions from various parts of the country about Sunday baseball and he sent to MT Clarkin a resume of the laws in the different states and the attitude of the authorities in relation to it. Sunday baseball thrives in the west, but it has not made much headway in the east. It is said that the Sunday games pulled the Waterbury team put of big hole last season. The club was said to be in bad shape, financial ly about the middle of the season and Manager Durant was anxious to retire at one time. as he claimed he was not getting anything for his ser vices. Towards the end of the season number of Sunday games were play ed and enough money was taken in to make the outlook more cheerful for the owners. It is reported that Man ager Durant is to buy out the inter- ests of MT Strobel, who was the prin- cipal owner, and the manager will probably devote most of his time to the game this coming season. Man ager Durant had an interest in the recent boxing matches in Waterbury that were made farce of by the ac- tion of the police and he is said to have made quite good thing out of that enterprise.
 Mir Clarkin said yesterday that he had number of conferences with Tommy Dowd recently and approved of what Tommy had done. He said MT Dowd would have free hand and there would be no one to bother him about getting team together. MT Clarkin said he had received a num- Der of letters from baseball managers in various parts of the country con graduating him upon engaging the services of Tommy Dowd and he was confident that the new manager would live up to his reputation.
 A plan is on foot that will be of great convenience to patrons of the boxes next season. It is to have port able telephones in the different boxes. With this device fans can give their wives at home good idea of the time to boil the water for the coffee or have the evening meal ready. With out the telephone it has been hard for the fans to communicate with their homes about the dinner hour as 1t is never known when the game will be over. Often Hartford has made d ninth inning rally and prolonged the enjoyment for an hour or so, while the vegetables were getting colG at home and were really fit for warm- ed over vegetable hash by the time the fan reached his domicile.

THEIR VIEWS DIFFER.
Japanese Generals Interviewed on
General Kuropatkin's Book.

Victoria, B. c., March S.-The steamer
Shawnut which arrived yesterday from
Yokohama brought Japanese newspapers
with interviews given by japanese gen
erals regarding Kuropatkin's comments
in his recently issued book on the late
war.
The Hochi ShiTnbun says General Count
Nodzu, who commanded the main Jap
anese army, writes praising General kuro-
patkin's personality and admitting that
he only unsheathed his sword out of 10y
atty to the fatherland. He was handicap
ped by the Russian troops who were dis
pirited and consisting of various races,
were not inspired by strong patriotic
spirit. Prior to the war, said General
Nodzu. Kuropatkin thought it premature
to open war with Japan and would have
RETAINED from taking command of the
Russian armies had not the war party in
Russia precipitated the outbreak.
General Oku, who commanded the sec
ond Japanese army. writes criticizing
Kuropatkin, stating his book to be sim
ply an excuses for the Russians. Kuro-
restore order in his army between -Liao
Yang and Mukden with better results.
General Nogi wrote refusing to give his
opinion on kuropatkin's work.
Count Itagaki, according to Japanese
newspapers, has Launched a propaganda
for the abolition of titles to nobility in
Japan beyond the lifetime of present
holders.
The Toxic municipality will endeavor to
arrange a loan of so, 100000 for a scheme
of harbor improvements The loan is to
be received in three installments ending
in 1914.

need hide his head in shame on ac-
count of it. In their campaign of
1906, they received no funds from
corporate powers; their books are
open for inspection; they are in the
hands of w. H. KemDer of Topeka
Kansas, for inspection and are as pub
lie as any public record in the state of
Kansas. We ask you to see them.
The organization of the Democrat
party in the state of Kansas is better
than it ever was before. We have
purged the party of the public service
corporation attorneys and lobbyists
and will be able to go into the next
campaign with absolutely clean hands.
The proposition heretofore taken, or
previous to 1906, by the Democratic
party in the hands of an unfaithful
class of men on the prohibition ques-
ton, will never again be a part of the
Democratic platform. They will stand
for clean government and principles
that elevate mankind. They will stand
every sense of the word, that
the Republican party has for a
quarter of century fooled the
people by putting wet candidates
on dry platforms, will never fool the
people of the state of Kansas again.
They have made a farce of the laws of
the state of Kansas in regard to the
prohibition question and the people
are done with such hypocrisy. The
Democratic platform of 1908 will
v
man-it matters not from what coun-
try he comes-shall obey the laws of
the state with no exceptions as to its
terms or meaning, and it will be the
object of our conventions all over the
state to place on the ticket such men
as will be faithful to their trust.
At the present time the Republican
party and senate of the state of Kan
sas are dominated by less than twenty
men. each one holding a position in
some corporation or high in the ranks
of the Republican party with repu-
tation that savors of bossism and cor
ruption- The press, the leading dailies
and weekly papers of the state of
Kansas are right. They are on the
side Of justice and humanity and will
go farther than any other factor in
bringing about a reformation
use the word reformation" which
should be taken in a broad sense to
mean the progressive age of today
Our movement is not a new one. 1t is
not fostered or upheld by cranks as is
usually charged to individuals and
parties taking such position. It is
simply following the line of progress
sion mapped out by such men as
Bryan, Roosevelt, Harris of Kansas,
Folk of Missouri LaFollette of Wis
consin. and last but not least. even
the greatest of them all from a stand
point of humanity. Abraham Lincoln.

sacred honor of the nation, places his

various letters in the hermits possession

of the governor, lieutenant governor and
speaker of the house of representa- tives.
and that he had formulated a resolution
which he would present to the meeting

Mr..
Democratic Leader of the House Dis
cusses Work of Legislature.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
By request of several of the daily
papers of the state that 1 give an in
terview in regard to the above Ques-
ton, I will submit the following:
The legislature which is now expir-
ing has been a disappointment to the
people of Kansas. They demanded a
primary election law, a maximum
freight law, a two cent passenger rate
law, an antipass law and by the grace
of the machine and the lobby, consist
ing principally Of public service cor
pOratiOnS, attorneys and officials high
in The councils of the machine element
of the Republican party, this legisla-
ture handed them a lemon 1t Will
adjourn without enacting a single one
of their demands into laws.
The Democrats as a whole have done
the best they could to pass the best
laws. The Square Deal Republicans
have done the best they could. but the
senate, the machine and the lobby
were too much for us; however, let me
call your attention to the fact that the
lines are drawn. The time has at last
serve two masters. He cannot serve
both God and Mammon. He cannot
serve the public service corporations
and the people. On account of the
their interest and that of the common
people are too vastly separated. There
could be no difference between these
classes if the demands of both were
legitimate and equitable.
Unless I am mistaken in the feeling
of Kansas, the machine has had it's
last chance. In the next campaign
the Democrats will have Bryan for
their candidate for the presidency;
they will have Harris as their candi-
date for governor; they will have a
platform as they had last fall that will
not admit of two constructions; they
will have a Republican record in this
legislature that caLnot be defended, and
while the Democrats were in the mi
nority the party will have Democrat
&c record in this legislature of which
they will not be ashamed. Frankly,
my opinion is that the legislature has
made Kansas a Democratic state. 1t
has done another thing, it has made
so, 900 converts to the government own
ership theory. The people are tired Of
this continual fight for their rights.
They are convinced that regulation at
best is an Opiate that only keeps down
pain until the cure can be applied.
Railroad ownership is the cure. 1t
would settle the rate question; the pass
question; the lobby question. Railroad
ownership is the next question.
As to the Democratic record in the
house of representatives and that of
Senator Hodges in the senate, no man

and had asserted that Adams knew
about the plot to assassinate Stuenen-
berg and that Adams could be brought
back to Idaho on the charge of killing
Tyler. Adams made a confession to
Detective MCFARLAND, in the presence
of witnesses, while still in the peniten-
tiary, admitting that he had shot Tyler
with a rifle at the behest of Jack
Simpkins. In the confession Adams
also told of the murder of Boule, an
other claim jumper, and of an alleged
plot by the Western Federation of
Miners to get Stuenenberg. When
the case finally came to trial Adams
asserted that he had been forced to
give the confession and that the de-
tectives had assured hi moi freedom
if he would make a statement fnvolv-
ing the Western Federation of Miners
in the assassination of the former gov
ernor of Idaho. Detective Mcfarland
and the witnesses to the confession,
testified that no promises of immunity
were made. This testimony was denied
on the witness stand by Adams. The
trial of President Meyer, Secretary
Haywood and Committeeman Petit
bone of the Western Federation of
Miners, on a charge of instigating the
murder of Stuenenberg, will probably
come up for trial at Caldwell within
few DAYS.

Steve Adams Case.
Wallace, Idaho. March S.-The jury
in the trial of steve Adams for the
murder of Fred Tyler announced
through Foreman George Ellers that
it was impossible to agree upon YER
diet, and was discharged by Judge
Woods.
The jury for many hours stood at
seven for conviction and five for ac-
quittal and it was only on the last bal
lot that the jurymen stood evenly di-
vided, six for conviction and six for
acquittal.
Judge Woods thanked the jury for
it's patience and diligence in service
after the foreman declared positively
that it was impossible to reach a YER
dict and declared them discharged.
In the court room were all of the
attorneys for both sides and only a
few spectators. All interested vitality
in the case were present except Mr.
HawIey for the state. This means
that the Steve Adams case must be
tried again.

charge of having murdered Fred
Tyler, a claim jumper. in the ST. Jo-
seph river region of idaho, in August,
