Good Games in PrOspect.-The
prospect for some good games of ball
to be played in the near future is
now very good. Although there
have been no games for the past two
weeks it is not the fault of Manager
Cummins of the local team, as he has
wired to every team in this section
and even to some teams in East Tex
as, endeavoring to arrange game for
this week but all of the teams al
ready had games for this week.
However, next week we will have
with US the strong team from Somer-
vile. Texas, one of the best amateur
teams in the state, and Lockhart has
also agreed to play series of games
here in short while Arrangements
are under way for games to be played
here with Victoria. Yoakum, Beeville
Laredo, Luling and other teams dur
ing the season. The local team is
spending the greater portion of each
day in hard practice and Is now in
much better shape than it has been
before this season.

Chicago Method Was One Which Gave
the Criminals Chance to Get
Away From Hands
Of Justice.
SECRETS LEAKED OUT
States Attorney Has at Least One Con.
fession and Is Stirring up
the Illinois Prac-
tices.

CHICAGO. HI, Sept. 22.-state's
Attorney Wayman's sensational
charge Of jury tampering resulted in
the discharge of another venire OF
fifty men. This action was taken by
Judge McEwen at the instance Of
counsel for the defense in tho case
of Gustave Myers, charged with per-
jury.
Wyman learned that certain mem
bers drawn for the October grand
jury were close friends of certain
others who were members of the Sep
tember inquisitorial body. In fact, it
is declared that successive grand
juries were bound each to each by
mobile clique, some members of which
were always to be found in the grand
jury room. BY the existence of this
system, the states attorney accounts
for the leakage of grand jury secrets
to quarters where advance news was
of vital Importance.
Another development Of the day
was the report that representatives
of interests believed to have been at
the bottom of the alleged manipulation
of the venire drawing machinery have
disappeared. Some of them, 1t is
said, have not been seen since bench
warrants were issued for the arrest
of Holland, Rayburn and Martin.
Wayman is known to have obtained
at least one confession touching the
scandal, and is believed to have Sc
cured one or two in addition.

WAS KILLED
WHILE SKY RIDING
Daring French Aviator Met His Death
Today by Fall to the
Ground.

PARIS, Sept 22.-Captain Ferber
of the French army was dashed to
death today when his biplane crashed
to earth while attempting a fight at
Boulougne Surmar. Captain Ferber
was one of the prominent figures in
the great international aviation con-
test.
In colliding with the ground, the
Voisan biplane turned complete
somersault and Ferber was buried un-
der the debris and terribly crushed.
He was alive when taken out from
the wrecked aeroplane but died on the
field before the surgeons arrived.
Ferber was one of the best known
ayiators in France but has always
flown under the name of DeLaRue,
as his family, one OF the most aristo-
cratic in France was greatly opposed
to the advertisement of his real name
At Rheinres he made several daring
flights.

Sends Mrs. johnson Telegram Ex-
pressing His Sincere Sorrow at
the Death of the Gov
erncr.
! IS A NATIONAL LOSS
The President Has Personal Sorrow
Over the Shock Of the Death
of the Great Minnesota
Man.

LIMON, Colo, Sept 22-President
Taft sent the following telegram to
Mrs. ]. A. Johnson, widow of the
governor who died at Rochester,
Mimi:
My heart goes out to you in sympa-
thy in your present deep sorrow.
Governor Johnson was national fig
ure of great ability and great capacity
for usefulness to his country, as he
had already demonstrated and his less
will be felt far beyond the state that
loved him so we'll l sincerely hope
that the fond remembrance in wbi.t
he is and always will be held in Min
nesota and elsewhere and the record
of his high and valued public service
may come as a boon to you in your
sorrow and may in time tighten the
burden you are now called upon to
bear.
(Signed) w. H. TAFT
The President also made the follow
ing statement:
The death of Gov johnson is a
great shock and fills me with personal
sorrow and with a deep sympathy for
the people of Minnesota, whose favor
ite son he certainly was. 1t has been
my good fortune to have had the
pleasantest personal relations with
the Governor, and, although we differ
ed politically we agreed on great
many SUBJECTS as had reason to
know from personal conversations.
He was wonderful man. He added
to charming personality frankness
and q common sense that won over
his natural political opponents and he
made an able, efficient and most cour-
ageous public official. That man OF
his parts and of his capacity for great
public usefulness should be taken now
| at the age of 4S should be and is a
source of nationa' regret for had Gov.
Johnson lived his position In the state
and country was such that he certain.
| ly would have been called upon to fill
an. important place and to assist in
the progressive movements of which
! he was consistent advocate.
1t was my great pleasure in Wash
ington to meet not only the. governor
but his family and my heart goes out
to these bereft of noble and loving
husband and father.

gained recognition, and his career as
governor showed mature and thor
oughly developed mind, tremendous
force and executive ability and COM
mand Of men and events which was
surprising even to those who had fol-
lowed him through the preceding
years. He was the son of exceeding
ly poor parents and gained but little
schooling, acquiring an education only
by the most laborious effort. His
early life contained nothing to make
it happy and was passed amid the sor-
did pains of poverty and want, and
the heavy burdens of responsibility of
providing for the maintenance of his
mother. His lifetime embraced the
hardest there is in human experience
and some of the greatest victories
which can come to any man. The ter
animation of his career just as he
seemed about to enter upon its most
brilliant events is profound shock
to the entire state
Governor Johnson is succeeded by
his lieutenant governor, A o. Eber-
hardt of Mankato, who received the
oath in the presence of few of the
higher officers of the state and at the
hands of the chief justice of the SUI
preme court, quietly and unobtru-
sively. The reins of government have
already passed to the successor and
but eight hours elapsed during which
the state was without an executive.

SAINT PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 22.-The
remains of Governor John A. Johnson,
governor of Minnesota, were received
last night in his home city, and lie
in state in the magnificent capitol
building where the labors Of only
few short years made him national
figure. In every home in st. Paul to-
day there is profound sorrow and the
grief of the city, pathetic in its in
tensity and its widespread evidences
among high and low alike, is so gem
eral as to stand in the history OF the
ever paid one of it's citizens.
Telegraph lines and telephone wires
to every remote section of Minnesota
today are flooded with messages of
coincidence, reports of the arrange
ments for the funeral and burial of the
dead governor and words of sympathy
| for the heroic wife, who prostrated
and broken in health is bearing grief
almost beyond her strength. The loss
4 to the state and nation is upon every
ones tongue, and in the vanishing
spark of life it seems as though the
state of Minnesota had witnessed the
extinction of an ambition common to
all, that of crowning the greatness of
the commonwealth by placing at the
helm of national government it's most
distinguished citizen.
The governors remains will lie in
the little graveyard at Saint Peter, his

clare that in tidal wave which swept
the coast from Grand Island west to
Vermillion parish, fully 300 persons
lost their lives. Telephone messages
from Houma say that refugees arriv-
ing there declare the coast line for
25 miles was swept by a tidal wave
that reached inland for distance OF
two miles in many places. At least
five thousand people live in the terri
tory swept by the flood and the refu-
gees say 500 is a low estimate on the
lives lost. The tidal wave rose sud
denly and the homes of thousands OF
fishermen and planters were mum
dated almost without warning. Almost
all telegraph lines leading into New
Orleans are prostrated. The loss tc
property along the Louisiana and Ala

million dollars.
