TALLY part of the American life that
1t would be shame to permit the en-
croachment of any evil. And once
the hydrahead Of gambling enters,
just so soon will baseball begin to
lose its hold upon the public.
Long ago gamblers bet high on
baseball, and some wagers ran into
four figures. In Louisville a plunger
framed a deal with three players
Devlin, Nichols and Cramer-to throw
a game upon which he had a fortune
staked. The plot was exposed and
the men were barred from baseball
for all time. The expose almost
killed baseball in Louisville.
1t is said that some players bet
upon the games. They lay their mon
ey upon their own team, however
But the practice should be checked
now. and Ban Johnson reasons that a
player who beta on himself gets into
company where temptation is always
present, and some day it may prove
too Strong to Withstand.

ATHLETES FOR THE
OLYMPIC GAMES To
LEAVE SATURDAY

New York. June 22.-Manager Mat
thew P. Halpin of the American Olym-
pic team. stated today that when the
steamship Philadelphia pulls out from
her dock on Saturday the team will
be minus three of its first string per-
formers. They are w. r. Dray, of
Yale, the crack pole vaulter; j. D.
Whitman. the Pennsylvania sprinter,
and Rowe, of Michigan, the distance
runner. The absence of Dray will
hardly make much difference. as Gill
bert, the other Yale man. is nearly
as good, though the pole vault de-
partment would have been much more
secure with Dray along.
The most important thing in re-
gard to Whitman is that he was an
.alternate for one Of the 200 sprints
in the 1000 relay and would be
capital man for the position. Good
men in the distance runs are scarce,
so Rowe will be more or less of
loss.
Hanger Halpin has been more or
less anxious over Matt McGrath.
Some time ago he injured the cartil-
age of his knees and was incapaci-
tated for a while. But DR.. r. H.
Sayre, the noted specialist on mus
cular trouble. took the big hammer
thrower in hand and he has five times
beat 11S feet. This means that he
will be in his old trim in the Enlgish
stadium.

STREET CAR
Men Jeered at Mayor
johnson When Refer
endum Was Again
Refused
FIGHT is STILL ON

Cleveland, June 22.-With 1000 of
the striking street car conductors and
motormen in the council chamber of
the city hall, jeering and hooting
Mayor Tom L. Johnson and displaying
banners on which they urged the
mayor to practice what you preach"
and to give us square deal and
pleaded for referendum vote on the
street car company's franchise, the
city council, under Mayor Johnson's
domination, again tonight delayed the
calling of a special referendum cleo
ton.
The striking street car men availed
themselves of a law forced through
the legislature by Mayor Johnson's
delegation in the last session, provid-
ing that 15 per cent Of the voters Of
a city may demand a referendum on a
traction franchise within 80 days after
its passage by city council
To the strikers petition for the
vote 25,52S names were signed. Mayor
Johnson, champion of the referendum
idea in Ohio at once began cam
paign to defeat the calling of an cleo
ton, and his city clerk, Peter Witt,
tonight reported to the council that
of the 25,528 names only 1858 were
those of qualified electors signed by
the electors themselves. The council
temporized again, referring the list of
signers to the board of elections for
further investigation.

$40 A WEEK FOR WORK;
$50 A WEEK FOR PLAY

fessionalism, was in general vogue
throughout the country during the lat
ter part of the decade of the sixties,
and it became so intolerable to play
ers and club officials that it finally re-
suited in the organization of the Ma

date baseball playing has been under
the management and control of reg

Already,

Houston, Texas, June 22,-Nine ne
groes and two white men are dead and
race riot is in progress. The state
rangers and militia have been called
out and the whole of East Texas is
seething in the throes of hatred
against the negro, as the result of the
murder of two men Saturday near
Hemphill.
AT midnight Sunday, $50 armed men
marched to the Jail at Hemphill and
after overpowering the jailer and
guards, took out six negroes. Five
were Immediately strung up to nearby
trees and the sixth, attempting to es-
cape in fight, was shot down. The
Oldest was q and the youngest ~
They had been jailed charged with
completely in the murder of Hugh A.
Dean, white farmer.
This afternoon Burgha Singleton
Hardi Evans and Henry Thomas, ne
groes, were found dead on the road
eide between Hemphill and Geneva
their bodies riddled with bullets
They, too, were alleged to have had a
hand in the plot to kill Dean.
Following the disclosures this morn
ing the farmers of the vicinity armed
themselves with rifles and shot guns
and pistols and started on a system
attic hunt after every negro Of known
bad tendencies. At the same time
pistols and other weapons began to be
seen In the hands of negroes and the
county peace officials found they were
powerless to cope with the situation
Hurried appeals were made to the
governor aud squad of rangers were
ordered Immediately to the scene.
The Houston Light Guards, of this
oity, were advised to hold themselves
in readiness to take a special train
They will leave tonight.
This was the condition when the
news went broadcast that Aaron John
son, another white farmer, had been
shot down while sitting in his gallery
with his wife and baby, his brains
and blood being spattered over them.
His wife, crazed at the desperate act
pf the. negro fiends gave chase,
screaming with all her might White
men, raiding the countryside for ne
groes, heard her. when they reached
her she was sitting beside the body Of
her husband, insane. It was then thet
the white avengers went forth and
soon the crack of their pistols por-
tended that death had been visited on
some one. Later, the bodies of Sin
gleton, Evans and Thomas were found
Already charged with having a hand
In the death of Dean, the three me-
groes met summary vengeance when
they encountered the white men.
Johnson's death increased the ten
sity of the situation. The three dead
negroes were known to be pals of a
fourth This fourth was searched for
and not found, the officers had beat
the avengers to him. Captured in a
corn field, the negro, Perry Price, was
spirited to San Augustine after max
ing a confession that he had been Civ
en- $5 by Robert Wright, Johnson's
brother-in-law to kill Johnson. Wright
was then arrested and is now in Jail
at Center, Texas. The Jail is guarded
heavily as the rumOr has gone forth

the engineer to run to Center In order
that they may take Wright and hang
him.

A baserunner cuts third base, but the
fielding side fails to see the play. The
umpire orders the runner back to
third base, Is this correct. and has
the umpire any right to order him

runner out for cutting a base and then
only on claim of the opposing team.

About ChiIdren's Teeth.

No child can thoroughly cleanse his
own teeth, and the mother who gives
her child few simple instructions as
to how to clean the teeth and then
leaves him to his own resources is
simply counting poor teeth for her
child. Even a grown person cannot
thoroughly cleanse certain parts of
their teeth. The mother not only
should see that the teeth are brushed
carefully and regularly, but she should
insist on frequent visits to the
dentists to have the teeth examined
and thoroughly cleaned.
Never allow baby" tooth, il 1t is
decayed, to remain untitled, for if the
decay is left it is apt to travel down
ward and affect the permanent tooth,
which is forming below.
Never allow a child to pick the teeth
with any sharp pointed instrument or
TO crack nuts with she teeth. Dental
noss is the best thing to use for re-
moving foreign substances from be-
'ween the teeth.

HENRY R. MALLORY
HEADS Big COMBINE
Is Backed by Boston Bankers-oId
sondholders Will Accept Securities
OF the New Company, but Holdings
Will be Decreased.
BY Hearst News Service.

New York, December 14.-Organiza-
ton of the Atlantic Gulf and West
indies Steamship Lines, a 100000, 900
corporation which has taken over
the four former Morse steamship lines
running south from this city, will be
practically completed this week and
the new concern will be put in active
working operation.
The launching of the new company,
with Henry R. Mallory of the Nal
larry Lines as president, and sub
stantiial backing by Boston Bankers.
was in line with plan formulated
by interested parties to save from
complete wreck the Consolidated
Steamship Company, promoted by
Charles M. Morse of New York.
The new company, a holding COM
pany for four of the six lines which
Morse brought under the Consolidated
Company, namely, the Ward, Clyde,
Mallory and New York and Porto Ri
co. all running south from New York.
The other two Morse lines, the Eas-
tern, running east from this city and
the Metropolitan, between this city
and New York, will remain under sep
arate management for a time.
The Reorganization Committee
found that there was outstanding
$62,00Q,O00 of 4 per cent. bonds of
the Consolidated Company held by
more than thousand companies,
firms, and individuals. A floating
debt of $2,4OO,OOO also had to be
financed. A month ago the commit
tee obtained the approval of 81 per
cent. of the old bondholders, and the
project was secure.
The old bondholders are to receive
for their holdings % per cent. in the
per cent. bonds of the new company.
25 per cent. in the preferred stock,
and 12R per cent. in the common
stock, the balance, 97h per cent,
being total loss. The bondholders

so that their loss will not be large.
The non-assenting bondholders will
be paid off in cash at a price to be
fixed by the court.
The new company starts with a
clean sheet. 1t has no floating debt
and no interest charges until 1910.
The old floating debt of $4,000, 900 is
taken care of by the issuance of
short ?time notes, which become due
