SHE DARED EVERYTHING
TO SAVE HER FRIEND

Not many women would volun-
tarily go on the witness stand and
lay bare the errors of her past in
order to obtain justice for a friend
and punish the brute who had de-
graded that friend. Yet that is
what one woman in Spokane did
yesterday in Judge Mann's court.
She deserves all the credit self
sacrifice is entitled to, and It will
be just as well to omit her name,
because she Is not now what she
once was and has earned the right
of protection from those who would
forever keep the heel on a woman
who has erred. But the woman
in this case was willing to tear
down all she had built up to see
justice done a friend whose
wretchedness she appreciated bet
ter than anybody else.
The man was H. c. Burr and he
was held to the superior court I'M
der $4,000 bonds for forcing his
wife into the streets to get money
for him. The woman friend who
testified and the wronged wife's
mother told the terrible story of
how they had tried to win the wife
away from the influence of the
beast she was married to, and how
the mother finally had to swear
out a warrant against daughter

and son-in-law on the most loath-
some charge known to the law. OF
course, in bringing all this out the
woman friend who furnished the
evidence had to. expose herself to
questioning, but she did not
falter. But Judge Mann was watch
ing the case closely. and after
stating that never in. his ex-
perience had he. seen one woman
do for another what the witness
had done for the. wronged wife in
this case. said he intended to see
that she had all the protection she
could be given. Burr sat in court
and smiled.
The couple have a baby. Mrs.
Burr was put under $500 bond for
good behavior, the security being
furnished by Burr's father.

Chancellor Day sighed as II in

a change in the White House had
taken place while he was away.

be attacking predatory wealth and
the predatory trusts, and now
see they are after the colleges and

l see: What good is the college?'
Well, l think it is a lot of good,
and my views on that question are
quite positive"
There isn't much to suggest
the workingman about the chan
cellor, although he told me he
would be at work at 1880 the next
morning. "Why, do you know, the
first day l was back I got up at
$3.50 in the morning and began
signing diplomas?"
The chancellor dresses in the
garb of minister, and he never
rides on the street cars.
What kind of an auto was
that?" he asked in the midst of
some conversation about the
workingman. When told, he said:
"H'm-h'm, the gentleman who
makes that car is one of my trus-
tees. H'm-h'm," he added, refiec-
lively.
John D. Rockefeller, John D.
Archbold, or others of the giant
monopoly which Chancellor Day
defended in time past may rest as

"Fve been maligned more than
any other man in the country" he
said, "but l don't care much;

PORTLAND, Ore, oct. l6-It was stated
by a prominent local sporting man last
night that Jim Jeffries will train up in the
Oregon mountains for the proposed Jack
Johnson bout. The former boilermaker be-
lieves he can round into condition far better

where there is some Of the best hunting

Two years ago Jeffries and q party Of
friends spent a summer there. They
hunted bear and deer with great success

~landers; Connie Mack Of the Athletics, and
Billy Murray OF the Phillies.
That the playing managers have been
more successful than Che bench leaders in
pennant fights Is recorded in base ball
history. Fred Clarke, Of the Pirates, and
Hughey Jennings are the ones who reaped
the biggest share OF glory this season by
leading their respective teams to victory.
A glance at the records show hat play
ing managers have won pennants in the
last nine years in the National league.
Clarke, in addition to winning his fourth
pennant this season, captured the bunting
for the Pirates In 1901, 1902. 1903; in 1904,
and 1906 II was John McGraw who led the
Giants in their marches to the champion
ship, and in 1906 1907 and 1908, Frank
Chance piloted the Cubs to the champion
ship goal Thus II is seen that three Of the
best managers in the profession-McGraw.
Clarke and Chance-are wearers of the
battle toys In games,
The playing manager has also been more
successful In the American league since its
organization. Hughey Jennings has landed
three flags for the Tigers; Jimmy Collins
a pair for Boston. and Fielder Jones three
for the Chicago White sox. Connie Mack
bears the distinction Of being the only
bench manager to come out on top I'm the
Johnson organization, as it was in 1902 and
1906 that the Athletics finished first.
Record Proves II.
The respective merits OF the playing man
ager and bench manager were wildly illus
trated in the closing games Of the Ameri-
can league race. Had Connie Mack donned
a uniform and fought on the coaching lines,
in the Jennings fashion, scores Of fans and
critics believe hat the Athletics would
have beaten the Tigers out in the race.
II was here that Hughey Jennings had a
big advantage over the ouakertown man
ager. The Detroits reaped the benefit OF
Hughey's inspiring repartee from the
coaching lines. while. on the other hand
the Athletics were bereft Of any encourage
ment from the mute Connie sitting on th'
bench.
on the coaching lines a manager is In tn,
thick OF the battle and Il is there tina
scores Of diamond battles are won duFinl
a season. It is the ideal position TO distrib
ute signals and signs and there is it'll
chance for blunders or misunderstanding
when at crucial periods OF games signal
are passed on from the bench.
The same conditions prevail in the mino
leagues, where playing managers have ais
won psnnants. II was John Camel VIII
who led Rochester TO the Eastern ieagu
championship this season. Last seasO

Ond base for Baltimore, piloted the Oriole
