With three out of the five games play
ed so far the locals can do no worse
than break even on the two series be-
tween the teams.

REORGANIZATION
IS THE ORDER
NOW TO BE INNAUGURATED IN
THE CANAL ZOSE AT
ONCE

Washington, March Changes
in the local government on the canal
zone which will abolish all the muni-
cipal governments now in existence
and result in the harmonizing of va
rious parts Of the zone, are to be-
come effective April 18th.
President Roosevelt has signed
executive orders providing for whole
sale changes and Richard Reed
Rogers. general counsel for the 18TH
mian Canal Commission. will go to
the canal zone with Secretary Taft
and remain there for some time to
assist In reorganizing the govern
ment. All the municipal councils. the
mayor and other municipal officers
will be done away with and the five
municipal governments i'm the canal
zone will be replaced by four admin
istrative districts, which would be
under the direct control of the Canal
Commissioners These districts will
be known as Ancon. Emperador.
Gorgona and Cristobal. Under the
old organization the five municipal
governments were in control OF Off
GERS named by the people. Conse-
quently the abolition of the munich
palities will not i'm any way limit the
voice OF the people in their govern
ment, but will make 1t possible for
the commission to give the various
administrative districts ordinances
and regulations which are in com
plete harmony. The municipal gov
ernments were found to be wholly
unsatisfactory after complete test
and all canal officers are convinced
that the new plan will be far more
satisfactory. 1t will result in the
abolition OF the bureau of municipal
tiles on the isthmus, which costs
about $4,000 year, and will cut
off about $4,000 i'm salaries to
municipal officers, making a saving
of about $4,000. Many of the eff
cient municipal officers will be re-
tanned in various positions under the
new form of government.
One of the new executive orders
will authorize legal marriages to be
made on the canal zone by any min
lister Of the Gospel
is estimated that the total saving
to the United States under the reor-
ganized government in the zone will
be about 100000 a year.

nished by Mrs. Bertha Donaldson and

through the back way.
The boy had light hair and wore
a Buster Brown suit, with coat
trimmed with brass buttons On the
way the boy sobbingly pleaded with
the man TO take him home. as he
was tired. In reply the man cursed
the lad and dragged him along
roughly
A crowd of 100 persons assembled
In front Of the house, but search
of the premises by the authorities
failed to locate either Of them. How
they escaped is n mystery.
Mrs. Donaldson and Miss QuiIlan
