PROTECTING UMPIRE

No nation on earth takes its sports so seriously as does the United States. The pational game takes the lead among those which have a tendency to rifle folks up." It is notorious fact that staid and dignified men will get mad more quickly over 8 baseball game and let everybody know it more emphati- cally than from anything else.
 A case in point occurred the other day down in Roanoke. Va, when the um- pire of the Virginia League game be- tween Norfolk and Roanoke was escorted to the lookup after the game for pro- lection, and to prevent a mob of irate ''fans" from doing him bodily injury. The crowd followed him to the doors of the jail but he was held there until their angry passions were calmed. The key to the situation lay in the fact that the final score stood 3 to i'll favor of Nor folk.
 That the game arouses such intense partizanship is sufficient proof of it's right to the title of the national game. It has all the spectacular features that appeal to the onlookers and all the op- portunities for rapid changes that keep interest to high pitch. Every town or city that is member of baseball league is assured of good sport during the summer and there will be lots of fun for verybody-except the umpire.

A new, and it is to be hoped long, lease of life has been given the Board of Trade through its opportune dealing with the question of fire protection. Several new members were admitted at last weeks meeting and dues have beeu reduced to $1. which should prevent mo- body interested ill the welfare of the town from becoming a member. This is especially true as the receipts will i'll the future be used for the purchase and repair of fire equipment. AS published in another column there are now 64 members in good standing.

OSAKA THREATENED WITH RUIN
THOUSANDS OF BUILDINGS DE-
STROYED BY FIRE.
Large Number Of Persons Killed and
Seriously Injured-Famous Budd-
hist Temple Is Burned.

OSAKA Japan. July ala fire which
threatens to destroy this city broke out
at O'Clock this morning, and in spite
of the most energetic efforts TO check il
it Is still burning. The firemen. who
have been fighting all day. are completely
exhausted, and troops have been called
out to assist in fighting the flames and
to preserve order in the city. Every
thing is dry on account of the drought
and the water supply is failing. The
fire is being famed by strong breeze,
and thousands of buildings. including the
world-famous Buddhist Temple have al
ready been destroyed
At 9:3O o'clock tonight the fire that has
been raging in this city since an early
hour today had consumed one-fifth of the
city. The flames apparently at that hour
were uncomfortable in the bowling gale
that prevailed.
The total loss will be large. A number
of persons have been killed and seriously
injured by the fire.
Osaka is one of three imperial cities
of Japan and as one of the most i'm
portant manufacturing and commercial
cities of the empire ii shelters almost
three-quarters of a million people
The Buddhist temple for which the
city is famous among travellers, covers.

LOSS TO POSTING COMPANY
Must Pay for Lease of Site to Run
Seven Months.
COMMISSIONER WEST PLEASED
Satisfied With Progress Made in
Kidding City of Unsightly Objects
in Conspicuous Places.

The last billboard in the vicinity Of
the Union station and the plaza has been
removed.
There are still some advertising signs
painted on the building walls in that sec
ton: but the Commissioners are waiting
ward from the corpora tion counsel as to
whether or not they have power to re-
woke permits for such signs before taxi
ing action.
J. f. Shoemaker. manager Of the Wash
ington Bill Posting Company notified
Commissioner West Yesterday afternoon
that he had completed the removal of the
billboard at the intersection of North
Capitol street and MaSSac chlIsettS avenue.
and that was the last one in the billboard
restricted section around the railway ter
minal
The action is a financial sacrifice for
the bill posting company, and Commis-
Sioner West WAS loud in his praises of
its action in 50 promptly carrying out
the wishes of the Commissioners II is
explained that the lease of the property
for the erection of a billboard at that
point has about seven months yet TO run
and provides for the maintenance of a
fence around it during all that time.
Loss to the Company.
The agent of the owner has notified
the bill posting company that the terms
or the lease must be fulfilled until il eX-
pres; aud therefore the bill posting com
pany must put fence around the prop
erty and must pay S12r per month for
about seven more months.
In view of this situation Commission
er West declared that If the Commission
ers should decide in the future upon the
removal of any more biliboards he
would favor the ordering of the removal
at the expiration of the lease This is
qualified by the explanation that such
cons derations would be considered ONLY
in case there were only few months
remaining for the lease TO run.
The object of restricting the bill
boards declared Commissioner West .is
to clean the city OF those that mar its
beauty spots. But | do not think we
ought to compel big financial sacrifices.
if the object can be attained ultimately
by short period of waiting.
No More Permits.
During the visit of the representative of
the Washington Bill Posting Company
yesterday Commissioner West officially
notified him that the Commissioners have
decided 10 issue no more permits for bill
boards There was also some discussion
regarding the removal of some billboards
maintained by the company in the vi
cinity of statues. public parks and federal
buildings; but no definite decision was
reached
In the carrying out of the billboard
crusade much depends on the decision of
Corporation Counsel +. II. Thomas to
the power Of the Commissioners to re-
woke permits for the placing of adver-
tisementS fences and on building
walls. If il Is determined that the Com
missioners have power 10 revoke such
permits IL is likely that restricted areas
Will be established and that advertising
signs will be ordered removed from such
zones
