 HE IS PARDONfD
James E. Gentry Freed at Midnight in Pennsylvania Prison. Where Hc Was Serving Term for Madge YOrke Murder.

Philadelphia, June 23.-After serv- ing II years in jail for the murder in this city in 1895 of Madge Yorke, an actress, in the Baggage Check com pany, James B. Gentry, a former act or, walked out of the eastern peni- tentiary this morning a free man. His pardon, which had been recommended by the Pardon Board on June r, was signed yesterday by Governor Stuart and was forwarded by special deliv- cry
 Although Gentry was nerVously anxious to again breathe the air of freedom, he gave up hope of being ing and retired about II o'clock last night. At midnight a deputy warden received the pardon, and, having been given instructions by Warden Me Kentry to release Gentry as soon as the pardon reached the penitentiary, went at once to the cell occupied by the pardoned man. Gentry was sound asleep. When aroused he could not control his emotion and wept as the officer passed him the pardon. After dressing and bidding farewell to his attendants, Gentry was ushered out Of the prison. To the newspaper men, Gentry said he would see them later in the day
 Neither Gentry nor his friends would say where the former actor would spend the rest of the morning.

BASEBALL FOR ; CHARITY SATURDAY
Lotus Cotillion and "Frats' to Battle Again On the
 Diamond.

Much interest is being manifested in the game of ball to be played at Forest Park Saturday afternoon be- tween the Fraternity club and the Lotus Cotillion club teams, as this game will decide the supremacy and place the laurel wreath on either thy "college kids or the town lot sharks" It will be remembered that the first game was won by the Danc- CTS. In the second game the Dane CTS were an easy victim to the Greeks. only one lone Lotus man being able to make the circuit of the bases, while the Greeks registered nine runs. The managers have been very alert and have taken sufficient time to DICK their teams for this third game, and' aside from the natural interest in anything with which these two we'll known clubs are connected, the game will have sufficient merit to attract a large crowd Richard Knox ans,. Met. Gallagher (the big leaguer) will twirl for the Dancers, and Manager Jordan says Pitcher Wilson will do whatever is necessary for the Greeks. J. Boots Jordan Finley Hut and Haynes Gregory will be on the in field for the Lotus boys, and Watson, Bloom and Sparks will wear blue suits in these same positions John Gillespie who has recently returned from a trip including few games at Stuttgart. will hold third sack for the Greeks and Richard Knox will hold down the initial bag for the Dancers, after the Greeks have bat ted him out of the pitchers box. Alex ander, Walker and Louthan will be in the garden for the Lotus club and will be opposed for the Greeks by Dewoody, Pipkin and the veteran fielder and swatsman, Uncle Bill' Jordan, sometimes called Lajoie. Happy" Triplett will wear blue suit this time, as usual, and is in the pink of condition with some more three baggers on tap. The receipts from the game will go to charity

A Detectives Capture.

Mr. Silas Morgan. the well-known detective of Logansport, Ind, says: It is. always pleasure to acknoWl- edge and to stand by good thing and I have reason to do so regard ing your remedy, for my wife was in a very serious state, tortured with rheumatism. I searched everywhere in my travels for remedies and spent a large amount of money upon spec ialists, and treatments of various kinds, without success. In the mean time my wife was getting worse her fingers were drawn up like hooks-and had given up hope of ob- taining a cure. While in Peru, Ind, about two years ago, l heard of cures that had been made by the Canadian Remedy, which MT. Jos. NJ. Bergman had introduced to the citi- zens. After Investigating thoroughly I became convinced that Wright's Rheumatic Remedy was something worth trying, and took a bottle home with me. The result was great surprise to my wife, myself and our friends It did the work and did it quickly. Removed the pain, swelling and aches of years. Only one boz tie was used After years Of wretched suffering, my wife is we'll and enjoy ing good health, free from all the miserable symptoms of the past. have gladly told many sufferers from rheumatism and kidney trouble about your remedy, and know of many in- stances where surprising cures have taken place. My advice is, don't give up the case until you have tried the Canadian Cure "Wright,s Rheumatic Remedy" SILAS MORGAN. 2 405 12 Broadway, Logansport. Ind 6-5-12t

Ex-MINlSTER is WORRIED
Says Rush Basot Convention Has
Been Violated and Wants New
Agreement.
Ex-MINIsTER is WORRIED

Ottawa, Dec. 3.-The strength of
United States ornaments on the
great lakes and the integrity of the
Rush-Bagot convention of 1917 for
the limitation of naval force on in
land waters of North America is be-
ing considered by the Canadian Com
mons.
George b. Foster on Wednesday
said the United States now had 10 war
vessels with force of 600 men and
over 70 guns on the lakes. If diff
culties were to arise the whole of
Canada's lake trade and shipping
would be at the mercy of this flotilla
within "a hours. The Rush-Bagot
convention had been violated and Mr..
Foster suggested a new one to meet
modern conditions.
Sir Winfrid Laurier the prime min
lister, said Mr.. Foster had called at
tention to a delicate matter of inter
national diplomacy, and had empha-
sized the difficult position in which
Canada stood.
The Rush-Bagot agreement could
be terminated on six months notice,
If the United States desired; but
this was a thing which Canada wish
ed to avoid. For 100 years the agree
ment had served Canada well. Dur
ing the last few years the United
States had developed a naval policy
and had made reasonable demand
for permission to place training ships
on the great lakes. These could not
be placed there without an interior
ence with the agreement of 1917
81 must say" said Sir Winfrid,
that though the terms of that agree
ment have not been absolutely main
tanned, | am not prepared to admit
they have been unfairly interfered
with My honorable friend knows
that the tenure of life of that agree
ment hangs on very slender thread.
If the American government put an
end to the convention, what has Can
ada to do? A modification of the
convention is more easily suggested
than made
ITO end the treaty would be an
evil alternative, for it might bring an
unlimited armament on one side and
Canada would have to follow suit
The condition is such that we have
to be very careful of what we do or
say. | do not think a good purpose
has been served in bringing the mat
ter to the attention of the country.
There has been correspondence going
on for some time on this matter,
which, if 1t is deemed diplomatic to
bring it down, will be brought down.
But there has also been correspon-
dence of confidential nature which
it would be premature to bring
down"
