LEWIS is CHASED.

Lancaster. July 2O.-(spccial)- =
Umpire Bierhalter did some bad
guessing in the contest yesterday with
the Diggers and several times vigorous
protests were made by Marion play
ers that they were not getting an even
break In the sixth Behringer had a
slow roller easily beaten to first but
Bierhalter called him out. Lewis and
other Diggers protested. But Bierhalt-
er remained firm and finally sent Lew
is out of the park. The fact that the
manager had to watch the game
through hole In the fence did not
deter the Diggers from keeping on and
finally winning. Lancaster fans have
no particular love for the Diggers but
everyone of them proclaims the club
as good as any in the league, an en-
emy worthy Of the name. They predict
That .thc piggers viii soon be up
among the leaders ana making a bid

There is some class to the work of
the Diggers among the enemy on the
present invasion. II has been "A mag
niflcent fight that the locals have
made for each game and the winning
of four of the six played so far is the
most notable work the club has done
on the road this season. In the two
games where Marion has met de-
feat, one at Portsmouth and the 9th
er at Lancaster, the opposing club
made but one run in the first and
two in the second. In both the Dig
gers were blanked but unfortunate
happenings only accomplished this.
Today the Diggers play the sew
enth game On the trip. They have al
ready won enough to make Il certain
that better than an even break will be
secured on the road and they are also
certain of an even break at Lancaster
But there is a chance for the perform
ance of n grand feat-the taking of
three of the four games from Lam
caster. Either Manager Lewis or
"Bucknell Blll'' Parsons will be in
their heaving for the Diggers today
A victory today will set Marion fam
dom wild with delight; the present
winning streak has almost done that
and should 1t continue baseball here
Will be the one best bet.
With Farrell back In the game and
the others hitting along In great style
there Is no reason why the Diggers
should not climb. They are now in
fourth place. A defeat today may
send them back but even at that the
club is steadily advancing in the per-
centage column and crawling closer
for the final dash to the top. And will
that dash come? Ask the fans. 1t

may and it may not. The club has tho
class, and sooner or later things are
bound TO break better. The writer has
many times heretofore claimed that
with Marion playing any kind of base
ball on the road, the club would soon
be up among the leaders. That road
work seems to have improved won
dorfully and on the present trip the
club climbed from the cellar to
fourth place. II such feat can be
accomplished abroad. when at homo
the Diggers should mount the ladder
a few more pegs and get within shoot
ing distance of the Mansfield Tigers.
Once up in that first division the hold
will not be lost and If the club gets
TO going, Lima and Lancaster must
look out for their laurels.
Today the last game at Lancaster
will be played. Tomorrow the Diggers
will come home for six-day stay.
II should be triumphal entry and
there should be a great crowd at the
yard tomorrow afternoon to welcome
the lads and cheer them to victory
over the Lima leaders. Nothing can
count more for n second division club
indn to pun IcW games from tne
league leaders or those in the first
division. a good humping to Lima
will put the Diggcrs that much nearer
the top and the pennant.
Give the lads a rousing reception
when they return and let them know
the folks at home are pulling for
them 10 ascend to the honor places in
the league,
The beating OF Justus on his own
yard was wonderful feat. 1t has
ben a fun year since Marion club
accomplished 1t.

flight to the rescue, resulting in an
other run that credits him with los

CLOSE VOTE IN INDIANA.
Vets Claiming Victory in Cass and
Blackford Counties.

INDIANAPOLIS, April Two of the
most holly contested local option cleo
tons that have been held in Indiana took
place yesterday in Cass and Blackford
counties. Both sides were better organ
lied than in any former contest. the vets
being especially aggressive in both coun-
ties. where they had brought to their aid
many of the leading business men.
Though there was constant down.
pour of rain during the morning almost
the total vote in both counties was cast
In Blackboard the saloon men gave out
meal tickets for every free lunch the
women served, and every hour when the
temperance people rang the church bells
the liquor advocates fired anvils and had
bands on the streets playing lively airs.
In many parts of the country RELAYS of
temperance men were appointed to pillow
for farmers while they went to the polls
and in this way every farmer cast his
vote. Both counties are tonight reported
wet by small majorities Blackford by
about 9DO and Cass by less than so. This
is conceded by the drys, but with the
hope that the official count will wipe out
the majority and show the county to be
dry. Owing to storm all the precincts In
Cass c-"nty cannot be reached and re-
ports received by telephone may be
changed by official figures.

CRITICISES ROAD LAW.
Senator Lee Makes Formal Complaint
Against Maryland State Methods.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, April State SEN
ator Blair Lee of this county has filed
with the good roads commission Of the
state formal complaint against the
method employed by the state geological
survey in constructing roads under the
Shoemaker law He summarizes his com
paints as follows:
Excessive cost. involving failure to use
local stone and unnecessary and minute
changes in grade; absence of proper pre-
cautions for measuring the stone. the
principal cost in construction; wording OF
contracts so as to imply possibility of
favoritism; preventing full competition
among contractors by arbitrary and in
definite provisions: lack of stability, due
primarily to lack of proper provisions for
drainage.
Senator Lee contends that the Shoemak-
err roads. when built on clay SOIL such as
there is in this county. are pretty much
of a failure. Where the soil Is sandy, he
says. they do very we'll.
weighed instead Of measured He also
thinks the powers of the engineer should
be made more definite and less arbitrary.
In referring to the cost of constructing
such roads in Montgomery county Sena-
tor Lee cites roads which cost as high as
Sill 600 a mile,

EXHIBIT OF RAMIE FIBER.
Material With Distinctive Qualities
Shown at Chamber of Commerce.

There is an exhibit of ramie fiber in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce.
placed there by S.H. Slaught, which oc-
cupies but little space and we'll illustrates
the many uses to which the material may
be put.
The ramie fiber is manufactured from a
thornless nettle ana at present is a staple
product of many German mills. Mr..
Sla ught who has spent many years
study ramie fiber and its possibilities.
believes Washington would be an ideal
spot for the establishment of a factory
for its manufacture.
The exhibit shows a great many varie-
ties of fabric. all made from the nettle.
The raw material itself is shown by a
long bundle of the dried plant. which
looks like an ordinary bundle of switches.
In the cases are shown lace. dress goods.
duck. lace curtains waterproof cloth
and the plain combod fiber. which looks
much like raw silk
Ramie fiber is said to have resistance
twice as great as hemp or flax. On that
account its use has been adopted by the
French government for the manufacture
of powder bags and balloon ropes.
Because IL can stand the action Of chem
ical washings better than fax or hemp
hotels use cloth made of 1t and save con-
siderable wear and tear in laundrieS. 1t
is also claimed that the strongest stains
can be easily removed from ramie ma
terial.
Another claim is that ramie has the
brilliancy of silk. does not rot in water
and that a thin starch keeps it In order.
