COMPANY D 80 EAST Boston A. A. 10.

COMPANY D 80, EAST BosToN A. A. 10.
In very fast and interesting game at
the Armory Friday night, Company D,
with but three OF the original bunch,
augmented by Hollenbeck, the recent
Cattskil acquisition and Mclaughlin,
drafted from Turner's Falls for the occa-
sion, put the kibosh on the quintet of
bean eaters from Noodle Island, who
sport the orange and black of the East
Boston A A. The score was 80 to 10
and the victory was well earned by the
locals, who took the lead early in the
first period and were never headed dur
ing the entire performance. The fact
that Crowley did not show up was
rather disappointment to some, but it's
a cinch that although he might have
made things a little different, he could
hardly be expected to overcome a lead of
26 points. At times both teams put in
some clever team work, but it was
marred by nearly all the players taking
unnecessary long chances, when a little
passing might have taken the leather
right up to the basket.
For five minutes after the opening
whistle there was nothing doing for
either side and it was one of the pref
test scraps ever seen on the local court.
Matthews then began the scoring with a
"corking' long shot and was quickly
followed by Doyle, while the third goal
was Doherty's. Doyle and Henschel
then Gagged three and two respectively,
before Doherty got the second for the
visitors, Matthews finished the period

Town Caucus.

The caucus to nominate officers to be
elected at the March meeting will be held
in the Town Hall Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock,
The CALIFORNIAN understands that
most of the town officers are candidates
reelection, including the selectmen, the
listers, the town clerk and treasurer, the
tax collector, the overseer OF the poor
and the road commissioner. Horace
Jackson will be candidate for the latter
office and lively contest is assured.
Frank H. Brooks, who has served the
town faithfully as school director for
three years without pay will not be
candidate for reelection, and two excel
lent names have been suggested for this
place, Herbert A. Stanley and Z. NJ. Taft.
This by no means exhausts the list of
available timber for this important
Office.
The annual report of w. H. H. Robe,
overseer OF the poor, shows the net ex
pense of that department, including his
salary, to be $6,29913 in 1907. which is
S315.22 less than in 1906. despite the
severity of last winter and the prevail
ing hard times of the past few months
There are now about three times as
many inmates at the Town Farm as
there has been at any one time during
the past ten years.

A. A. On Saturday night they entertain
Herkimer, N. Y, at the Armory and on
Wednesday, the 10th, occurs the first
game of the Brattleboro series in St.

If the visitors expected Muller to do all
the scoring they certainly made mis-.

Tickets go on sale Thursday noon for
the game with Herkimer, Saturday
night. This team has a great record
around New York and New Jersey and
play in such company as Pittsheld, Yon-

worse about it than you did about miss

We learn with regret that Swenson is

More than half the surface of the
globe is hidden beneath water two
miles deep: 100000 square miles,
lie at depth of 5000 feet or more.
Many places have been found five
miles and more in depth. The great
est yet sounded is 300 feet near
the island of Guam.
If Mount Everest, the worlds high
est mountain, were plucked from its
seat and dropped into this spot, the
waves would still roll 1900 feet a
bove its crest.
Into this terrible abyss the waters
press down with a force of more
than 10000 pounds to the square
inch. The staunchest ship ever
built would be crumbled nnder the
awful pressure like an egg shell un-
der a steam roller.
A pine beam fifteen feet long
which held open the mouth of a
traWl used i'm making a cast at a
depth of more than $4,000 feet was
crushed fiat, as if it had been packed
between two rollers.
The body of a man that would at
tempt to venture to such depths
would be compressed until the flesh
was forced into the interstice of the
bones and his trunk was no larger
than a rolling pin. Still the body
would reach the bottom, for anything
that will sink in tub of water will
sink to the utmost depths of the
ocean. Brooklyn Eagle.

Had No Evidence to Convict Officials.

The public is bound to accept the
verdict rendered by the jury in the
second trial of the men charged with
conspiracy in the Capitol case. Ma
thos Snyder and Shumaker were set
free by the order of the court, the
judge stating that the evidence was
not sufficient to hold them. The ac-
quittal of Cassel and Houston local
ly followed.
That extravaganza and waste
marked the furnishing Cfthe Capitol
goes without saying Everybody
knows that. But to prove criminal
conspiracy to rob the State is quite
another thing. The contractors
were working under warrant from
the Legislature, and the blanket APP
preparation which that body made
was sufficient to legalize almost any
thing in the way of expenditure. To
he sure at the first trial the defend
ants were declared guilty, and in the
minds of ofsome.people the second YER
dict should have been the same, but
law is law, and courts are bound to
be governed by it, even.if a miscreant
slips through its meshes now and
then.

James w. Van Cleave, writing in
American Industries, points out
that every industrial collapse which
the country has had has br ou
some needed financial Improvement.
The panic of 1887 compelled Con
gress to establish the independent
treasury, IN which the Government
ever since that time, has control of
its funds. The panic of. 1857, by
destroying many of the wildcat
banks, compelled changes in the laws
In many states which strengthen the
banking system of the country. One
Of the measures of the Civil War
legislation was the creation of the
national banking system. The pan
ic of 1878 forced the dominant party
to pass the greenback redemption
bill which brought all the cOun-
try's currency up to the gold
level in that year, and which has
kept it up to that line ever since.
The panic of 1898 compelled us to
stop buying silver for the dilution of
our currency, and thus saved us from
a worse catastrophe later on.
He does not call the furry of 1907
a panic. Unlike the commissions Just
mentioned there has been no general
dislocation in the country's industrial
and financial scheme. We have
neither wildcat streak bank notes nor
irredeemable greedbacks' to combat
now, nor have we debased silver.
Every dollar all so. Is of American
currency is worth one hundred cents
in gold today. Our industrial and
financial conditions are inherently
solid.
1t isstated that Mrs. Russell Sage
is practically prisoner in her own
home, afraid to venture out because
of the cranks and beggars that be-
siege her. They have driven her
from her house on Fifth Avenue to
her place in Sage Harbor, where de
tectives see that she is not annoyed.
She is paying the penalty of the
generous. Her announcement that
she intended to dispose of the estate
left her by her husband made her a
marked woman. With that an
nouncement she gave away one thing
that sheican never get back-her free
