BAN JOHNSON RULES.
American League President Prohib.
its Noisy Roofing.


Chicago, March President
Ban B. Johnson of the American
league has issued an edict prohibit
ing all Objectionable roofing at base
ball parks in his circuit.
This edict will affect every club in
the American league, but will have
its principal bearing on the South
side park in Chicago, where the
White Sox Rooters' association held
forth last season with megaphones,
noise-making machines, gongs and
other utensils used in joyous demon
STATIONS. All these things will be
barred in the future, according to
President Johnson, and the over
jealous rooters must confine their
demonstrations to pure lung exer-
else.
Players on nearly every club in
the league have complained to me
about this class of roofing" said
President Johnson Remarks have
been directed to the players on the
field which are vulgar and ungentle-
manly. OF course some of the play
ers retort in kind. The patrons of
the game cannot hear these remarks,
as they are made through mega
phones generally from the front row
or boxes. But the retorts from the
players can be heard in every part
of the grand stand"

The Wearin' O the Green"

The 17th of March is supposed to be the anniversary ofthe death of St. Patrick and not his birth day as is contended by some. It is believed that St. Patrick was 121 years old at the time of his death which is said to have oc- cured as early as A. D. 493.
 So runs the legend that when St. Patrick banished the snakes and toads from Ireland he chain ed monster serpent in Lough Dilveen, which IS one of the seven lakes in the Galtee mountains be- tween the counties of Cork and Tipperary, commanding him to remain there until Monday. 1t is said that each Monday the serpent calls out in Irish, Ut IS long Monday, Patrick" St. Patrick was one of the most popular patron Saints of the Emerald Isle and his memory IS

Being now reasonably sure that his man was aboard the train, a systematic search of about four minutes was all that was requir- ed to locate and remove Mir. Peter Purkiss and his trunk from the train. MT. Purkiss proved to be a well dressed and shrewd looking individual, but despite the fact that we have here a glorious climate and many ripe opportunities forjudicious invest ment, he did not at first seem dis posed to stop off, but owing to the Sheriff'S earnest and persua- sive manner, he at once relented without further argument. A search revealed the. fact that the prisoner had $235 on his person. Upon being notified by wire of arrest here, the Chief of Police of San Francisco instructed Sheriff Woods to hold the man until the necessary papers could be pre- pared to have him removed to that city.

Supervisor Breen Resigns

Forest Supervisor Fred 5. Breen was in the city Tuesday and in formed us that he had resigned his position. the resignation to take effect today Saturday, March 15.) Mir. Breen has been III the Forest Service for the past ten years, during which time he has had charge of the San Fran cisco Mountain and South Grand Canyon National Forests. The cause for the signation is said to be increased responsibilities and insufficient salary.
 Mir. Breen's services have given universal satisfaction. The cat tie, sheep and lumber interests with whom Mir. Breen has had dealings have forwarded a pet1- tion to Washington requesting that he be kept III charge ofthese forests if possible.
 Mir. Breen has not yet decided what he will do, but will remain in Arizona. He IS well and favor ably known throughout the northern part of the territory, and has many friends who will be glad to learn that he does not intend to leave Arizona, and hope he will never regret having re- signed his position.
 Mir. Breen will be succeeded by F. C. w. Pooler, supervisor of the Prescott and Verde National Forests. He entered the service at Prescott as a ranger four
