IL was 6 TO Chicago at the end Of
the second inning BY the sweat OF
their brows and a little sporadic bat
ting the Tiges worked round q couple
OF runs and Summers had braced and
was pitching fine ball
Came the seventh and, with one
out, Schaefer hit the score board with
terrific triple. Crawford singled 10
right and the Tiges needed three 10

game farewell and Smith reigned in
his stead.
Rossman batted him punky

started 10 throw to the plate and then
whipped TO third, hoping 10 catch
Wahoo off the bag. The ball got past
Tannehill and collided with the grand
stand. making loud reverberation.
Crawford scored.
THEN THE SPASM,
Crazy with his fieetness Of foot,
The Peach had set sail from sec
ond. AS he rounded third, Hahn
had the ball In short left field and
rushed out on the line and en-
deavored to hold Cobb, but his
tackle was high and Tyrus tore on.
As II happened, the sphere was
on its way far over SulliVan's
head. Cobb scored with ease. AS
he crossed the plate Rossman APP
preached third. Recovering from
his former Inflated attempt, Jen-
nings essayed to hold Claudius on
the bag. Like a football player
out 10 make a touchdown or die.
Rossman hurdled the little mana
ger, strictly against all etiquette
Of the game. AS he neared the
plate Sullivan had the sphere
away over by his own bench. II
looked like an easy play, but he
delayed his throw a bit and when
Il came, Smith was slow in put
ting IL on the runner.
Rossman rose. brushed of his drap-
cries and received the call OF his life
for bringing In the tieing run.

CAPITOL eRAFTERs ARE FOUND
GUILTY IN THE coNsPlR-
AcY CASES.
JURY FINDS PROMPT VERDICT
Convicted of Defrauding The state
OF 100000 On New
Building.

HARRISBURG, Pa. March lS.-Ihe
iury in the first of the Capitol con-
sniracy cases just tried. after six
hours of elaboration. tonight gave
verdict of guilty as to every one OF
the four men who have been on trial
here for the last seven weeks. There
were two ballots taken, but the jury
did not come into court until two hours
after reaching a conclusion.
The men found guilty are John h.
sanderson, contractor; William r.
Snyder, former Auditor General; W.
7, Mathues. former State Treasurer
and James NJ. Shumaker, former Su-
nerintendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds.
Motions for new trials we're made In
each case.
ONLY sanderson and Snyder were in
court when the verdict was given and
neither would talk. None of the coun-
sci for the defendants would say any
thing in regard to the case. the
States attorneys, when questioned
said that they we're pleased with the
result of the hard work.
The maximum penalty for each de-
fe dant in this case is two years I'M
prisonment and $1,000 fine.
The four men were convicted OF
defrauding the State of about $4,000
OOO the new Capitol costing $1S,OOO'-
600 instead of 100000, the figure at
which the contract was estimated
The present case constituted one OF
the longest jury trials in the history
of Pennsylvania courts, and 1t at
tracted much attention throughout the
country.
The prosecution of the alleged
frauds was the outcome OF the polltl-
cal upheaval in Pennsylvania in 1900
which resulted in the election of VIII
liam H. Berry, Democrat, as state
Treasurer in the fall of that year.
Berry threw open the books of the
state Treasury and showed that the
cost of building the Capitol was more
than three times the amount of the
contract.
The case was laid before the Attor-
ney General and indictments were
found against fourteen persons,
When the cases now pending against
the four persons who were convicted
today are concluded the other defen-
dants will be heard.

ANSWERSLAST CALL
REV. GRANVILLE ALLISON, OF
THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH DIES
AT MEMPHIS.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March ID
The news of the death of Rev. Gran
Vile Allison in Memphis at noon on
Thursday was received here soon after
that by Nashville friends and rela-
tives and while causing a profound
sense of sorrow, was not unexpected.
For months the end has slowly ap-
preached. and when 1t came he well
coined it with smile, after long suf-
fering, and periods of incurable weak
ness and inactivity that were hard for
his active, busy spirit to endure. Mr..
Allison was rector of Grace Episco-
pal church in Memphis, to which he
was called about six years ago from
Pulaski. He had done there won
derful work, building superb new
church, one of the handsomest in
Memphis, and adding several hundred
new members to the church rolls.
His zeal and energy In his great work
never tagged, and II told so heavily
upon the strength of a constitution
naturally frail that his vitality gave
way under the strain. About eigh-
teen months ago his health failed.
His congregation realizing the value
of his services, and being personally
devoted to him, gave him leave OF
absence, and he went to Canada, Wau-
kesha, and Biloxi In search OF health,
but with little result. Last summer
he went to the East, and was brought
home in the fall i'll, and never was
able to be up again, except in roll
ing chair, having been paralized from
the waist down. Recently he has
seemed to improve, until ten days ago
when his mother, Mrs. Andrew ALI.
son, and sister, Mrs. JEFF McCarn
we're called to his bedside He Is
survived by his wife. formerly Miss
Eleanor omburg, of Memphis, and
three children, Andrew. James and Ell
eanor. He will be buried today from
Grace church. with Bishop Gailor and
Or. James r. winchester officiating

WOMAN
MAKES THREATS
DEMANDS THAT MAJ. PETTlsoHE
GIVE HER $1,000 OR SHE
WILL KILL HIM.
STRANGE STORY is TOLD BY Her
struooled For Years to OBTAIN
Living Finally Resorts to
Extortion.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Marcn -
Stranger than fiction is the story told
nv Miss Georgia Warren, the beautiful
1e-vear-old stenographer, arrested
shortly after 8 O'Clock Thursday even
in~ on Union street by waiting detee-
t,ves and who mailed death-threaten-
ing letters to Maj. A. H. Pettlbone'
monument throughout Tennessee and
connected with the United states
Government bureau of animal indus
try in this city, in the effort to extort
from him $1,000.
Although the arrest of Miss warren
occurred early Thursday evening"
facts regarding the affair were not re-
vealed until yesterday.
It is probably one of the most SEN
sational cases OF it's kind ever pre-
scented for solution to the local de-
tective and police departments and is
fraught with strangeness that forces
pity and sympathy in the direction OF
the most unfortunate young woman.
When the arrest of Miss Warren oc-
Cured she had just taken from Sc
cret nook at a point on Union street
between Sixth and Seventh avenues a
decoy package by detectives, VIII "a
she thought contained money szlI
Immediately following her arr 81
Miss Warren confessed to Dete stves
Jacobs and Cummings that she had
written three letters to Maj Petit
bone. demanding that he place $1'OOO
in bills at point made dark by shao-
ows on Union street between Slxth
and Seventh avenues The letters de-
clared that unless the. money was
there by certain date Maj. Pettlbone
and his wife would be murdered
At police headquarters Miss War
rem told of how she had struggled Tor
livelihood for many long years; no"
she had been left alone to fight l1fe's
battles: how she had battled In the
effort to win for herself an education
that would fit her for the years to
come
Trembling, sobbirg and asking for
mercy. she confessed all, and yester-
day. when her nerves had settled, told
one of the strangest stories ever hav-
ing it's setting within the confines OF
Nashville. IL is story of woman's
weakness. of an unearthly power pos
sessed of some mysterious human-a
story almost beyond belief, yet be-
leved.
AS Maj. Pettibone refused to prose-
cute the case, Miss Warren was al
lowed to leave police headquarters
early yesterday morning and return
to her boarding house on Sixth ave-
nue.. where she collapsed from the ter
ribIe ordeal OF the night before.

ST. LOUIS, March 12.-Republican
conventions held today on the call OF
the Chairman of the State Committee
In the Eleventh and Twelfth Congress
sio3al Districts to elect delegates to
the National Convention in Chicago
adopted resolutions indorsing Gov
Charles e. Hughes, of New York, for
the next President and the delegates
elected from the Twelfth District were
Instructed for him The Eleventh
District delegates were uninstructed.
The instructions given the Twelfth
District delegates are the first for
Hughes that have been given by any
Congressional Convention so far held
in the country The resolutions
adopted by the two conventions In
dorse the administration of President
Roosevelt and indorse Gov. Hughes
as "a candidate whom we believe can
be relied upon to follow up the work
so ably and fearlessly inaugurated by
the present administration.
The results OF the two conventions
today mark a peculiar situation ex-
listing in the two districts in that two
conventions have been held in each
district and two sets of delegates
elected to the National Convention.
The first set of delegates from each
district elected on Feb 81 were in
structed for Taft. Republican Stats
Chairman w. s. Dickey declared that
by reason of the fact that the district
committees of the two districts were
ousted by the State Committee, the
conventions held on Feb. 81 were IL
legal, and the delegates elected were
illegally chosen. He called the two
conventions held today and declared
them held under the auspices of the
r publican State Committee in regu-
lar form. and therefore legal AS
consequence the rival sets of dele
gates from the two districts will con-
test for seats in the Chicago conven'
ton.

TENNESSEAN FOR
STATE PROHIBITION
NEW DAILY MAKES FORMAL AN
NouNcEMENT OF ITS POL
ICY TODAY.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, March IA
The Nashville Tennessean today for
mally declares for state wide prohibit
ticn in the following editorial:
The Tennessean recognizes prohibi-
ton as a momentous State and Ma
tional issue.
II believes that the time has come
when the people of Tennessee must
answer this question:
Shall the State of Tennessee con-
tinue longer in partnership with the
saloon interests by giving them legal
existence?
The Tennessean believes that there
is but one answer to this question,
and that is Statewide Prohibition.
Holding this view, and in order to
be thoroughly consistent in it, The
Tennessean, will print no more liquor
advertisements.
This policy is adopted for two rea-
sons:
First, to show a sincere belief in the
cause Of prohibition; and second, to
play fair with the liquor interests.
AS we hereafter mean to do our best
to prevent their doing business in this
State, we are not willing to accept
their money and at the same time en-
deavor to drive them out.
For The Tennessean is unreservedly
against the liquor traffic.
