Oyster Bay, July 23-President Roose- welt tonight announced in unmistakable terms the determination of the adminis- tration to proceed with the prosecution of the Standard Oil cases despite the de- cision adverse to the government hand ed down by the United States circuit court of appeals yesterday. This decision, the President thinks, in no way affects the merits of the case, and he makes known his decision to cause the acton to be brought again before the courts in such shape. if possible, as to prevent technicalities interfering with decision based upon the actual issues involved The statement in the matter made public tonight by Secretary Loeb follows:

 The special. referred to above, declares that Bennett has abandoned all turf ven- lures. Sometime ago The Age-Herald pointed out that the followers of the race track, driven from a copious field by antl-racing legislation, would swoop down upon baseball.
 The leading baseball authorities do not believe that the gulping down of baseball franchises by those who formerly starred on the race track is the best that could befall the great and clean American game as yet unsullied.

HIGH STANDARD AT
 AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

The patrons of this college at Decatur, Ga, consider 1t a school of high stand ing.
 Agnes Scott has two reasons for main- taining this high standard. It believes that it cannot be honest in dealing with students or patrons unless 1t requires students to put forth every effort to get the most from the time spent in col lege.
 The college believes that it's standard vitally concerns the character of Its stu dents. If it wnks at idleness or inferior work, or if it encourages a student to be satisfied with low attainments, then it has permanently injured the character of 'the students, whatever good 1t may have tried to do for them It Is an ideal place at which to educate your daugh- ter. f*T

for the retrial of the Standard Oil case. The reversal of the decision of the lower court does not in any shape or way touch the case excepting so far as the size of the fine is concerned There is absolutely no question of the guilt of the defendants or of the exceptionally grave character of the offense.
 "rhe President would regard it as a gross miscarriage of justice if through any technicality the defendant escaped the punishment which would have un- occasionally been meted out to any weaker defendant who had been guilty of such offense. The President will do everything in his power to avert or pre- vent such miscarriage of justice. With this purpose in view the President has directed the attorney general to bring into the case MT. Frank B. Kellogg, and to do everything possible to bring the offenders to justice"

Communicated Former Chief Justice of Supreme Court Smashes Burnett Campaign Canard

It has been called to my attention that some parties are circulating a card to the effect that MT. B. H. Cooper voted for an ordinance which would have deprived a citizen of his personal right to have intoxicating beverages Tn his own house. In simple justice to MT Cooper, I wish to say that l prepared the ordinance for which he voted, and that it was intended to prevent tho storage of liquors in social clubs and in places where people resort to drink. Its purpose was to prevent evasions of the prohibition law, and by no fair construction could it have been strained into preventing any one from keeping or drinking liquor at his home. The statutes of Alabama permit all citizens to keep or drink liquor at their homes and no city could by ordinance prevent the exercise of that right.

history and was very spectacular af-

pared with that of the feet under Ad-

compared with that of an eagle. The
"invincible armada" of Spain. which
set out to invade and capture England
in 1888, was formidable demonstra-
tion of naval power for that period.
though 1t met with complete disaster.
Tie armada consisted Of about 100
vessels, some of them of great size.
but all wooden and without any pro-
lection against even the feeble artil-
lery of that day. They carried in all
2,431 guns and more than 10000 men,
besides the working crews. AS the SOL
ders could not help work the ships,
they were really in the way and much
more helpless on shipboard than mod
ern marines. The cannon which
formed the armament of the ships
were mere toys compared with those
Of the present day. Finally the ships
were all sailing ships. cumbrously
built, hard to maneuver and liable to
be put out of action by adverse winds.
Torpedo boats and monitors were un.
known at that day.
The American feet consists of six
teen first class battleships. eight ar
mored cruisers. nine. protected cruis-
ers. six gunboats. six torpedo boat
destroyers and three monitors. The
ships carry n total Of 2.1S4 guns. any
one of which could sink the biggest
ships In the Spanish armada with one
shot from a distance that the heaviest
gun in the Spanish fleet could not COW
er half the way. The concentrated fire
of all the ships in the Spanish feet
would not make dent in the armored
sides of one Of the American ships.
while single broadside from the lat
ter would sink or disable the entire
armada. Finally the American ships,
being worked by steam and electricity,
are entirely independent of wind and
weather. After they had steamed

Hereafter Ladies will be Admitted
to Reserved Seats for Fifteen
Cents Sport Levers Jubilant.

The local franchise in the Ohio
State polo league was sold last night
by danager Bobby" Quinn to a
number of local business men, who
plan to form stock company to back
the enterprise. Nearly all OF the
IS 900 stock Of the proposed company
has been subscribed for by local bus
mess men and the remainder Will
probably be sold early next week..
The company will be Incorporated,
Monday.
Manager Quinn had an offer from a
Canton company to. sell the franchise
to that city, but he made the local
men proposition, preferring that
the team remain in this city even
though he could get better price
from Canton.
On Monday, the new company will
take charge OF the team and num-
ber Of changes will go into effect at
once. 1t is the intention to make 1t
possible for more ladies to attend the
games and for that reason the ladies
VIII be admitted to the rink and re-
served seats for fifteen cents. At
the present time general admission
of twenty-five cents with fifteen ad-
ditional for reserved seats has been
asked. At all of the games played
thus far a large number of ladies'
have been present and with the new
arrangement the number should be
augmented several times.
The new management announces
that for the present. Quinn will have
charge OF the team as manager. The
team will be strengthened in one or
two places which should make 1t as
good as any in the league.
Coshocton will play at the rink
next Tuesday night and next Thurs
day night GAINESVILLE will be the at
