SECOND PRIMARY
IN WINN PARISH
Sheriff Shaw Endorsed---D2r-
ham for Assessor and Die
tation Rebaked.

Last Tuesday. when the second
primary vote was cast. was pre-
celed ty a fierce thunder storm
about midnight Monday. The
weather cleared off bright and
cool on Tuesday, and it was an
ideal day in which to hold an elec-
tion. While the contestants for
State positions attracted general
interest, the contest for the nomi-
nations for sheriff and assessor
were unusually warm and exciting.
Considerable heat had been
injected into tie primary owing
to personal feelings that had been
aroused in the contest. particular
~ for the sherlffalty. The friends
OF the opposing candidates used
every rxertion tn bring out fun
vote and the suffragists responded
with aiacrity. There WAS strong
showing in this trial of popularity
and strength. and the figures in
tlicate the interest taken by the
voters.
Undoubtedly the me [ b q d $
adopted to accomplish the defeat
OF Sheriff Shaw resulted largely
in securing his endorsement and
election. The vote cast reflected
the confidence of the people in
his administration of the affairs
of the sheriff's office and the
satisfaction which he gave in the
discharge of bis duties. BY their
votes the people have proclaimed
that they are willing to further
entrust him with the responsible
ties that attach to this highly
important position.
The vote for j. 7. Durham for
assessor should be highly gratify-
ing to that gentleman, rs it is an
emphatic endorsement of his pro-
iiciency and efficiency in the dis
charge of the very difficult duties
of the Office. 1t demonstrates
that Mr.. Durham is thoroughly
equipped with every essential
qualification for the proper and
successful operation of the duties
that devolve upon him, and that
be hs~Aso admirably discharged

New York. June THE second woman
In six months to pull pistol on Dr. Mar
tin w. Auspitz murdered him at dusk
tonight in the vestibule Of the fiat house
at 13l West 135th street.
She Is Miss Sarah Koten, girl of twen-
ty-two, who until six weeks ago was a
nurse in DR.. Auspitz's private hospital at
81 East Ninety-third street. Her plea is
that be had wronged her
From II o'clock this morning until ten
minutes after Z in the evening Sarah
Koten sat on the stoop Of the house
where she has been boarding at l2i West
18th street. with a black bag. such as
doctors carry. on the step beside her. In
the bag was a new revolver. Diagonally
across the street was the house where.
some time in the course Of the day, she
expected DR.. Auspitz to go calling on a
patient
There was no patient except a hypo-
thetical one the girl had invented Half
an hour before the girl started her vigil
on the stoop the doctor, down at his Office
in East Ninety-third street had got a
that he was wanted at 13l West 135th
street. The voice said that there was a
sick person there. Dr. Auspitz said he
would get around in the course OF the
day. and at 7:10 o'clock he got off a 135th
street car and walked into the house at
lSl. The girl across the street snatched
up her bag, walked up the steps of the
house where the doctor had gone as fan
as the outer door. then wheeled around
and stood leaning against the brass rail
ing Of the stoop. A person coming out
couldn't see her from the vestibule. After
rummaging the house and finding M
patient, the doctor came through the
inner door Of the main hallway. wher
Sarah Koten pulled the gun from hel
bag and shot him. When he fell the cir
shot him again. The second shot wasn't
needed. for the first bullet went through
the doctors heart.
The girl sat down and a policeman
came along and arrested her. In a few
months the girl WILL in all probability
become a mother.

Newark. n. J.. June THE congrega-
ton Of st. Joseph's Roman Catholic

fusion just before 10 O'Clock mass this
morning. when John J. Collins, believed

another genuhection at the foot of the
altar. and then mounted the altar steps
and took the chalice. which had been left
there after the O'Clock mass. Taking

as a priest would do before giving COM
munion. He got no further. as he was
seized by a policeman.
The policeman put the chalice back on
the altar and took Collins to one OF the
side aisles. The conduct Of Collins first
amazed the members OF the congrega-
ton and then threw the people into wild
confusion. Many Of the women in the
church were screaming. about thirty OF
them tainted. and the men. who seemed
to be more confused than the women. ran
threateningly after the officer who had
Collins in custody.
Quiets the Congregation.
Rev. George Corrigan, pastor OF rhe
church. was attracted by the commotion
and hurried onto the altar. He address ed
the congregation, asking them to be quiet
and then announced that no one should
molest the intruder. who was then led

went on the altar. he replied: Father
Toomey told me to do so Saturday night Of

Hob British Wade Games
 1He YeAYs GYeat Failure
By MAN HAITIAN.

New York. July PA very interest ing treatise might be written under the caption "The Englishman as a Sporting Man" One could gather sufficient ma terial from the actions of the Johnny Bulls during the Olympic games so far played to make the thing very interest ing and show up the Britons in their true light.
 The two weeks Just ended were the most strenuous and the most important of the Olympic games, although the series will run over Into the fall and winter, when skating. hockey, Rugby and Asso- citation football and other cold weather sports will be played.
 The stubborn attitude of the English during the first week of the Olympiad vas enough to disgust the Americans for evermore Here are some of the exam pies of British sportsmanship as wer, displayed that week:
 No official welcomed the American team on its arrival.
 Yankee athletes charged a fee to train in the stadium
 Forced to draw for heats which pitted Americans against one another.
 Forced to jump the pole vault English style, which method handicapped the Americans.
 No American flag before the stand at the opening.
 James E. Sullivan, American commis- sioner, ordered off the track by officials.
 Americas protest against Tom Long beat, the Canadian Indian, practically ig- nored.
 Sheridan not allowed to use his own discus.
 Efforts to have events of every sport count points in order that the English would be certain to score the heaviest.
 Final decision to give no championship trophies for team work of nations.
 Brazenly violating Olympic rules by al lowing English team to compete in tug of-war wearing heavy shoes with heels trimmed with steel.

realizing a victory. It is more than prob able that Babb will send Chappelle to the front, and those who consider Chap belle a. dead one, are following a path that leads to absolute darkness. The big fellow has one of the best records in the league, and in spite of the excellent worth of Savidge, Shields, schwenck and others, it is barely possible that the Memphis fans favor him above the lot
 That Protested Game.
 The schedule calls for a series of three games, but it is very probable that a Goubleheader will be ordered, When last the Memphii were in Birmingham the Barons engaged them in one of the most peculiar games that has ever been pulled off in the Southern league. The visitors. taking to Turner's offerings as duck to muddy water, piled up a lead of nine runs Nothing daunted. the Barons be- gan stinging Chappelle, and managed to tie the score. Just at this time Umpire Carpenter, at the instigation of Charlie Babb, made a horrible decision, sending Walters back to third and excluded a pos sible Baron victory. Memphis got off with the decision. but Molesworth won his pro- test and the game was cast into ob- livion.
 This is the battle that must be fought over. It matters not who wins it, the skirmish will scarcely be as novel as that of the last visit.
 Babbs team is going well at the pres ent writing. The opening series of the present eastern invasion was lost to At lanta, but the Memphii made it three straight in Montgomery. Thus having broken even, Babb comes to Birmingham. Scoops Carey is still on the first pill low. In spite of rumors of dismissal on account of failure to hit. Redmond still covers the keystone. Cranston, consid- cred a great star by many followers of the game, is at short. while Babb him. self covers third. Baerwald, Donahue and Murphy are the outfielders. Savidge, Shields. Schwenck Clarity and Chap belle are the twirlers of the staff. Babb is confident of winning the pennant. but
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-27

the pitchers are able to hold opposing stickmen. This was not always the case as local fans, to their sorrow, know.
 Ty Cobb, to many men, is the greatest ball player In existence. Compared to nm, Hans Wagner fades into insignif- cence, and Napoleon Lajoie walks like lame man.
 But, In 10 years, will Ty be the man that wagner is today? It is hardly pos- sible Like the gourd, Cobb has sprunp up in a night. Wagner attracted gen eral attention only after 10 years con sistent service. Time alone can tell tba tale, but both are such splendid exnon- ents of the art of playing baseball that If Molesworth had them he couId win pennant in spite of present conditions. But Detroit is going somep just at the present writing.
 The Tigers are red hot favorites in the American league pennant race. and It is more than likely that they will. for the second time, fly the bunting
 St. Louis, Cleveland and Chicago cling 10 the Tigers tails, and either, or all three, might pass the tape to the front or the elan of Hughie Jennings But. in spite of the fact that within the remain ing two months of the American Ieague race the entire complexion might un- dergo change, such a probability is most unlikely, Every day the Tigers win, and it will require mighty effort on the part of either of the three "pretenders" to out strip them.
 In the National league, knowing fans see royal scrap between the Pirates of dear old Pittsburg, and the fighting bat talon of Johnny McGraw.
 But he who counts the Cubs out en- trely might run against a snag.
 At the present time either has a good chance, although Pittsburg and New York for the real scrap draw the call
 The Giants are at home for long stay. Pittsburg Is on the road. Both teams are winning, with Pittsburg re- maining well to the front
 McGraw, who predicted, with degree Of accuracy, the downfall of the erst- while unconquerable Cubs is out with another vision. He declares the worlds championship will be battled for by De- troit, on the one hand, and his own Giants on the other In this vision he sees himself another worlds conqueror, crying, perchance, like sentimental Alex ander, at the conclusion of the task
 At the present time, however, i. e., July 27. it appears that Detroit and Pittsburg have the call
 A worlds championship engagement be- tween the Pirates and the Tigers would prove more interesting in other ways than the general result, than was the battles last fall between the Cubs and the Jennings brigade.
 The world would hold it's breath as Ty Cobb and Hans Wagner fought for the crown!
 All of which reminds, however, that Ty Cobb was school boy when Chicago wiped up the ground with the Detroit Tigers.
 And he might be so again.
