Bird Attacks Boy While He Is Watch
 ing Ball Game.

New York, September 15-Swooping down into a crowd of persons who were watching a baseball game near Point Richmond s. l., an American eagle att tackled John Pollockson, 8 years of age A group set upon the bird and the father of the boy ran to his home, procured a shotgun and returning, killed the eagle.
 The game was in full swing and young Pollockson was stretched on the grass absorbed in the contest when the eagle descended and planted it's claws in his neck. The boy yelled and the lads im- mediate neighbors tried to grasp the eagle. This was no easy matter. but sev- eral of the men finally contrved to re- lease the boy and catch the eagle by it's talons and hold it until MT. Pollockson returned with his gun. The eagle meas ured feet, inches from tip to tip. Young Pollockson was not injured beyond few scratches.

UMPIRE ATTACKED
 BY AN ANGRY MOB

St. Louis, September 15-Umpire Jack Sheridan of the American Baseball league was attacked by angry baseball enthu- siasts as he was leaving the American League park here this afternoon.
 Sheridan was jeered and hooted by a mob as he left the ball park. When one of the mob struck Sheridan a policeman rushed into the crowd and seized the assailant. The crowd then pressed about the policeman and his prisoner and the officer drew his revolver. Umpire Hurst, who was with Sheridan. struck one of the mob in an effort to protect his col league. The man who was arrested es- capped.
 The trouble was the result of ill-feel- ing over a decision by Sheridan in to- days game declaring Outfielder Mcintyre of the Detroit team safe with what proved the winning run.

New Orleans, September 15.-Reports Tampico has been extinguished were brought here by passengers on the steam CT City of Mexico from Tampico last night. The blaze, which has been com pared to lake of fire, was put under control, the passengers said. by the use of an enormous piece of sheet iron, which so reduced the volume of flame that it
 could be smothered with water. high embankment is said to have since been built around the well to contain the flow of oil until storage tanks can be erected.

PERCY" WILL WEAR
 REAL SHEATH COAT.

Chicago, September 15.-sheath effects have invaded the male wardrobe. Narrow clinging coats guaranteed to adhere close ly to the form of man and impart the same svelt appearance affected by the other sex, will be ''the thing this fall
 The fact was shown yesterday at the opening of the American Style and Fash ion show at 1855 Dearborn street.
 One of the noticeable "sheaths' was an exhibit from Pittsburg. It was a business coat. Cut narrow about the hips and fastened by two cute cloth but tons, itaslopes upward in a delicate curve, fitting snugly at the shoulder and cut low in front. The invisible braid' running along the edge of the lapels and cuffs was declared very proper

He even seems to consider it unneces- sary to consult his party associates about tn csc plans. His mental attitude toward the voters is that of a ruler who thinks he knows better what Is good for them than they do themselves, and therefore declines to consult them, be- cause if they knew in advance of the election the good things he intended to do for them, they might be foolish enough to disapprove of the pro- Rramme, and by electing his opponent defeat it.
 "The example of personal govern ment at the federal capitol has been closely followed at the state capitol, and the vital question in this election. both national and state, is wh ether the people want to govern themselves or to be governed by public servants. In vio- lation of the great doctrine of the divis ion of power, which is the cornerstone of American political life"

River Trade Revival.

Mobile, September 15-It was announced today that the government engineers in charge of the work on Lock No. 1, in the Warrior river above Demopolis had re- ported to the government officials that the lock would be opened on September 20. This means much as it will permit navigation through to Tuscaloosa and the Birmingham and Gulf Navigation company has announced that their steam CTS will be operated through to Tusca- loosa. This revives a trade and opens country that has been dormant for a period of quarter of a century.

convicts on Hand.

For instance, suppose the counties should go slow in the matter of talk ing the convicts and the state should find itself with 1000 or more able-bodied men left on it's hands. The state has no farm on which this number of able bodied men could be worked It would be necessary not only to purchase ad- ditional lands but to pay the expense of their feeding guarding and clothing from the state treasury It is true the near beer tax might do it, and then again 1t might fall far short of the ex- pectations.
 The house majority appears to have lost nothing of its determination and it is believed 1t will defeat whatever meas ure on this line the senate sends 1t, or probably, as report now goes, pass the amended Holder bill as a substitute for 1t and send that measure again to the senate.
 The end is still far from sight. If the legislature should finish it's work by Sat- urday night it will come as the result of change in the present attitude of the membership which will be nothing short of revolutionary.

Arrogance of Hughes.

It would have been difficult for the republican party to have cho a can uldate Tor governor (assuming Gov. hughes Is nominated) whose personal ity would nave presented in clearer re- Iiei the essential distinction between the republican and the democratic tb a. ories of government. We are informed py the public press that the governor reiuctantly consented to accept a re- nomination. because he considered that his work of reform was not yet finish ed. Ine governor apparently considers It wholly unnecessary to consult the people In advance about his legislative plans.

CROSS PURPOSES
 IN LEGISLATURE
Georgia Lawmakers Are Still
 At LoggerheadS
STATE FUNDS TOO SCARCE
Support for the convicts When Lease System Expires is Cause of Dis sension and No Adequate Pro-
 vision Is in Sight.

Atlanta, Ga., September 15.-(Special.)- The senate may go ahead and pass all the convict bills it wants to; the house across the way stands ready to turn them down and come back with a demand for the enactment of its meas ure.
 That about expresses the attitude of the two bodies which got to work again today on convict legislation, taking it up practically at the point where they started three weeks ago.
 Since spending Saturday and Sunday at home the members of both houses have come back weaker than ever on the proposition to terminate the lease at once. Many of them, admittedly, did not find anti-lease sentiment at home quite as strong as they had been led to be- neve. They discovered, at least, that their constituents are not willing to be taxed for the maintenance of the con- victs; the cities might not kick to any great extent, but 1t cannot be doubted that proposition to levy taxes to pay the expenses of the convicts would bring a loud protest from the country.
 Nevertheless the senate is proceeding to settle the question in it's own way. It is now claimed that twenty-seven members of the senate. four more than a constitutional majority, are lined up back of the new senate bill which is offered as a substitute for the Born bill and which that body now has under consideration.

Parole Bill.

The most important measure in the di- rection of penitentiary reform which has yet come out of the extra session. is the parole bill of which Representative Persons of Monroe was the author, and which has just received the governors S approval.
 Under the Persons law, instead of being limited to the recommendation of an out and out pardon for one confined in the penitentiary, the pardon commission is given authority to inquire into the person. al history of the convict prior to his con- viction, and If it Is considered that he has in him the qualities of good citizen ship, he may be released on parole by rec ommendation of the commission and ap- proval of the governor, but only after he has served the minimum sentence fixed by law for the crime of which he was con- victed.

End of Lease System.

6H0 VI ECdSC 0JShCFIfs
 The provisions of this measure, in brief, are that the lease system shall end with the expiration of the present contracts, March 31 next and that thereafter the convicts shall be distributed among the counties of the state for work on the public roads. This distribution is to be made according to population, and where county wants more than it's quota it is to receive them from another county which may not want any convicts at this time. The county not taking convicts is to be given due credit and later on Is to be paid in convicts for public road work by the counties which secure the excess. The supporters of this meas ure believe the counties of the state, and communities of counties which are per mitted to stub together for the purpose of improving their roads, will take prac- tically all of the states convicts. But If there should be left any surplus, it is provided that the state shall keep and maintain them at the state prison farm.
 The particular difference between this bill and the other measures which are charged with being designed to continue the lease system is that the latter simply make provision for the leasing of the surplus in one year periods until the state is able finally to abandon it.
