Baseball by Electric Liaht

CINCINNATI, June 22.-Baseball by electric light, from which so much is expected by some, was given it's first tryout at League park here last night, when members of the teams represent ing the Elks' lodges of Cincinnati and Newport, Ky, practiced for the after dark game they will play next Thurs day night.
 The immense refiectors installed on high towers illuminated the field al most as brightly as daylight, and others manipulated so that light was thrown upward, made it easy to find and catch balls batted into the air.
 None of the Cincinnati's played, as President Hermann was unwilling to risk injury to any of his athletes in the untried style of ball playing.

Blacksmith Cuts Self.

PASADENA, June 21.-Stacey To- gan, blacksmith in the employ of Whitmore & Horder of East Union street, is confined to his bed as the result of a peculiar accident in which the fact that a sharp knife glanced from his ribs was the only thing that saved him from probably fatal wound.
 Logan, with a razor-edged knife in his hand, was pairing the hoof of horse. with the hoof between his knees and drawing the knife towards him. Striking a soft place in the horn un- expectedly, before he could control his muscles, the blade was driven against his side with sufficient force to bury it to the hilt.

GOLDFIELD, New, June 21.-Jose Magnane, a Mexican, charged with complicity in the murder of Bryan Nelson and Richard Stillwell, who were found stabbed to death at Le- land few days ago, was captured on the desert near Amargosa today and taken to jail at Rhyolite. His com panion, also a Mexican, is still at Amargosa and will be taken to Rhyo- lite in the morning.
 Because of the popularity of the murdered men there are threats of lynching at Rhyolite and extra guards have been placed about the jail.
 The Mexicans were tracked for seven miles across the desert by their footprints. Various valuables recog- nized as belonging to Nelson and Still well were found on their persons.

MO. LEGISLATURE
BADLY sWAMPED
TWO MEASURES ovERsHADow
ALL OTHER BUSINESS OF
ASSEMBLY.
PROHIBITION ISSUE IS UP
Statewide County Supervision o.
Public Schools Has Immense
Army Of Supporters
on Hand.

Jefferson City.-It Is a pretty close
race up to date between the Prohi-
bitionists and those who favor state
wide county supervision Of public
schools as to which a furnish the
most petitions to the legislature.
Since the senate commenced regular
business quite as much time has been
taken up in the presentation of these
petitions as in the transaction OF all
other business combined.
County supervision of the public
schools is just about as old an issue
in Missouri as is constitutional prohi-
bition. Both have been before the
legislature for two decades, and both
have made some Roadway.
Under existing laws, any county
that desires supervision can have 1t.
Perhaps rs counties in the state have
adopted it, or about one-third as many
as have adopted local option. The
school teachers, with one accord, ia
for statewide supervision Of the pub
lice schools, and 1t looks very very
now as If they will win their long fight
at the present session.
There is a general opinion prevalent
here that the house will pass a con
stitutional prohibition amendment bill
and that the big fight will be made
in the senate.
The vote may be very close in the
senate, but the general opinion nov
is that there will be enough opposition
to the measure to defeat it with
bill something along the line of on
Senator Humphreys of Shelby Is pre-
pairing.
This provides for statutory prohibi
ton in place of constitutional prohibl
ton, so that in the event the Hum
phreys bill becomes a law, and tn
people have tried statutory prohibt
ton for two years, they can TAX
stock and figure definitely on the re
suit.

Committee.

Washington, D. Gin the belief
of the senate all constitutional objec-
ton to the appointment of Senator
Knox as secretary of state in the
cabinet of President Taft will be re-
moved by the approval of the house
to a bill reported from the committee
on the judiciary by Senator Clark, its
chairman as a substitute for the Hale
bill and passed by the senate Thurs
day night, in order that it might be
before the house Of representatives as
soon as it NETS Monday, it was then
passed without debate.
A report was made to the senate
from the committee on appropriations
on the presidents statements concern
ing the attitude of congress toward
appropriations for the special secreN
service. Senator Hemenway, who pre-
scented this report added that the
president was not justified in making
the statement contained in his mes
| sage to congress.
Just before adjournment the senate
| passed a joint resolution in the exact
form which it had been passed by the
house declaring February IL to be a
special holiday in the District OF
Columbia and the territories in honor
of the centenary of the birth OF
Lincoln.
Senator McLaurin made a speech in
opposition to the passage of any Dill
for the enlistment of the negro soldiers
of the twenty-fifth regiment accused
of having shot up" Brownsville.
After having travelled a thorny road
for a week the agricultural approprla'
ton bill was passed by the house OF
representatives Thursday practically
as it came from the committee. The
debate dragged YEARLY on for severa
hours, when the proceedings were en-
livened by a brief but spicy tilt be
tween Mr.. Macon ~(Arkansas) and Mr.
Cook Colorado.
A successful fight led by Mr.. Sabatl
Qllinois) was made against the bill
amending the naturalization law
which, among other things Increases
the naturalization fee from five to tel
dollars. BY an emphatic vote the COZ
ference report IN the measure was re
iected and the bill laid on the table.

ON LINCOLN DAY.
NEGRO REPUBLIC NEARs END
ACCORDING TO LATE CABLE
ADVICE.
BRITAIN IS SENDING GuNRgAT
Root Recommends Appropriation Be
Made to Send a Commission to
Study Conditions and Confer
With Negro Republic.

Washington, d. C.-Cable advices
received at the state department to-
day indicate that a climax has been
reached in the Liberian situation. Con-
ditions, according to the information
at hand are very grave and great
alarm is felt by foreign officials in
Liberian employ. A British gunboat
has arrived to afford protection to
foreign interests and a company OF
soldiers has been sent from Sierra
Leone to the capital at Monrovia, for
the same purpose.
Apparently great dependency is en-
tertained as to the ability Of the gov
eminent to maintain itself and as to
the future of Liberia as a nation.
Fridays cable called renewed atten-
ton to the efforts of the state depart
ment initiated by Secretary Root to
secure an appropriation of 100000. to
enable the president to send to Liberia
a commission with a view to reporting
recommendations as to the SPECIFIC
action this government should take
which would constitute the most Ell
fective measures of relief.
Curiously enough 1t was Fs55iden'
Lincoln who approved in 1862 a treaty
with Liberia whereby its recognition
as an independent state was giver
and it was President Lincoln who alst
appointed the first diplomatic repre-
sentative of the United States there
From time to time since then thu

that this government was most anxl

The triumphs Of the scholar the
public regards as individual; the PROV
ess of the athlete is popularity held to
establish the name and fame of his col

pend upon the liberal education she
gives to those within her gates. But,

Wild Elk Are Starving.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Members OF the
legislature to-day received word
that twenty thousand wild elk are
starving in Jackson Hole. The deep
snow covered with a hard crust pre-

food they are breaking into the hay
stacks of farmers. The farmers are
on guard day and night. The legisla'
ture will make some provision for

Various legislatures are now break
ing out with freak bills designed to
create a boom in the business of Cupid
& Hymen. In Wisconsin a tax is pro-
posed on bachelors and a state bureau
to provide would-be benedicts with
wives. A bill in Texas proposes not
only "a tax on all bachelors under 70,
but also that bachelors who do not
propose at least once a year to at least
one woman shall be made to pay a
double tax. And yet, says Baltimore
American, some misguided women are
wasting their energies crying for the
ballot, SO they can affect legislation.
