Inflicted by Index Town
Marshal.

EVERETT, July 29.-Peter Ander-
son, a logger employed by Perry Green.
was probably fatally shot at Index
by Marshal W. H Norton. He was TAX
en- soon after to Stevens hospital at
Monroe and late last night was in a
critical condition. The shooting took
place in a box in the rear Of Herbert
Green's saloon.
Mayor Bartlett had issued warrant
to arrest a woman for drinking in q
saloon. Norton went to serve 1t and
found her drinking with Anderson. An
derson was drunk. He grabbed the
warrant and tore it in pieces and
knocked the marshal down. He then
grabbed the billy and started to beat
the officer over the head.
Norton had dropped his gun in the
scuffle. Both made a grab to reach it,
but the officer was quicker and shot
Anderson in the neck. the 3S-caliber
bullet lodging in his shoulder. The
ullet narrowly missed the windpipe.
Anderson Is about 35 years old and
we'll known around Monroe. Norton Is
crippled in the leg. He is not blamed
for the shooting The fight is the re-
suit of feud of long standing between
the loggers and the marshal and
mayor

Norris, chairman of the state repub-
lican central committee and recently
appointed chief inspector in Indian af-
fairs, here today. following a confer
ence with leading republicans of the
state, decided to retain his position as
chairman of the committee
There is slight opposition among
some party members in the state to
Norris maintaining his position at the
head of the committee, but the older
heads in the organization believe there
is nothing to be gained by selecting a
new chairman now. There will be no
change, according to present plans I'M
til time for the next reorganization.
Mr.. Norris will return to Washington
the last of the month to assume the
duties of his new position.

MORE SHELLS IS
CRY FROM VARSITY
More Equipment Needed at State Uni.
versity and Coach connibear Fig
ures It Will Take $4,000 to
Buy It.

SEATTLE, July 29-Although one
rowing season is barely over, the Uni
versity of Washington is figuring on
the next, and already a cry for more
equipment has been sent up by ath-
letic authorities. Washington wants
more rowing facilities badly, and with
little money in the student treasury is
wondering where the much needed
equipment is coming from.
1t is safe to say that if some good
samaritan were to offer Rowing Coach
Connibear anywhere from 500 to
$1,000 to be used in getting new shells,
the aforesaid coach would not refuse
to accept it. In fact. it may be as
sumed that Connibear would weep
large, real tears of joy, for he doesn't
want to patch and tinker on the 10
year-old craft that he has used for
three seasons past. For some seven
years before that it was used by Coach
Courtney's Comedians, and now is
like an aquatic one-hoss shay, for
some day it will go to pieces "all at
once and nothing first
Coach Connibear figures that in or
proper scale he will need two eight
cared shells and two tours. The shells
will cost about $1,000, and when to
this is added the expense of shipping
them across the continent on private
| cars, the total amount that the uni
versiy ought to get within six months
is close to $4,000.
No Shells for Big Squad.
Each year a bigger squad turns out
for rowing at the state university.
COnnibear has an Arcadian dream of
organizing four rowing clubs and slim
ulating rivalry to such a pitch that he
will never be at a loss for men with
some experience to stick into his war;
sity eight. More especially since the
singing defeat by Stanford last
spring has the rowing coach been Won

TOO MUCH WHEAT FOR CARS?


WICHITA, Kas., July 29.-Reports
are being received here by the grain
dealers that there is car shortage.
The reports state the elevators are
full of grain, but that it is impossible
to get the cars to move the grain.
This condition is due to the fact
that the yield was greater than the
estimate in the sections affected, and
farmers to rush their grain to mar
ket when it was expected they would
hold a good part of it.

it goes through it will do a great deal
to create new interest in the national
game.
Such a change has almost been
forced upon the big leagues because of
conditions arising from the keen fights
for the pennants, which give the vic
torious teams in each league the right
to engage in a post season series to
determine the worlds champion. Fur
ther the cry Of crookedness and fraud
which has followed the hanging up of
such a prize has brought the club own
ers and the men who control baseball
to realize that the honesty of baseball
itself is threatened and to avert this
danger they are evolving a new scheme
to determine the champion of the
world-and one which seems to solve
the problem.
The proposition which the two
leagues will probably be called upon to
indorse, is that the National and Amer
lean league clubs arrange a schedule
of los games, each of the eight clubs
in each league to play fifteen games
against each of the other clubs This
schedule, according to the plan now
being fostered, will start the season
about April Is and close the regular
seasons of the two major leagues Au-
gust 1O-about the time that, under
present arrangements, the season be-
gins to lag and all interest in baseball
dies except in cities where the winning
clubs are owned Immediately after
the close of the regular schedule in
the major leagues it is proposed that
the worlds championship series shall
start-each club in the National league
playing a series of six games, three at
home and three abroad, with each club
in the American league-and the Win
ner of the greatest percentage of games
in the final series shall be decided the
champion of the world
Details as to the division of a GER
tain percentage of the receipts among
the players of all the sixteen clubs, in
relation to their standing in the final
fight for honors are being worked out
and the promoters of the idea of the
double season are ready to receive sug-
sestions from the magnates of the
| major leagues
The reasons for the proposed changes
are as follows:
F'irst-It will remove suspicion of
honesty from the game
Second-It will renew interest in
baseball just at the time it is waning.
THRIFT will be an incentive for the
clubs which are down to the bottom in
the race to keep fighting right to the
close of their own schedules and keep
in condition to uphold the honor of
their own leagues.
Fourth-It will prevent selling of the
best players of tailend clubs to
strengthen leading teams for the final
struggle.
Fifth-It will really settle the ques-
ton of which ball team is the best

Tn. Proposed School Law.

Fairfield Ledger: The details Of
the proposed Iowa school law may be
good enough, but the bill is 80 lengthy
that 1t will take the average man
weeks to study It out. 1t contains two
propositions alone which SHOULD as
sure it's defeat One is the taking
away from the people the right rc
elect the county superintendent, the
other vesting all school authority and
control in commission of three men,
who shall serve without pay. There
is too much of that thing now in cor
poration boards, school and city affairs
turning over important public mat
tiers to men who already have their time
taken UP with their own private brsi.
ness and who will give school affairs
only hurried and surplus moments
Half the difficulties which corpora
tons, school boards and municipalities
now have arise through officials who
are poorly paid or not paid at all and
who give the business in hand no real
attention.

proaches this matter necessarily from

come to Christian Science for help
have failed to receive the healing for
which they We're seeking from ordi-
nary medical practice. 1t is there
fore obvious that if they are to be
healed, it must be by means of some
thing radically different. Christian
Science has succeeded in healing this

After the NEWSPAPERS.

Boone News Republican: Iowa leg
islators seem to have special pen
chant for harrassing newspapers.
The last legislature interfered with
private business to the extent of de-
nying the right of newspapers to con-
tract with railroads for advertising in
exchange for transportation. This
year Representative Hanson of Hum
boldt county has introduced bill in
terfering with the right of newspapers
to contract with medicine companies
for advertisements The bill proposes
to prohibit objectionable advertise
ments." Just what this means Is a
problem. Possibly it means any adj
vertisements that the regular physi-
clans object to. 1t is time for the
newspapers to resist abridgements OF
their right of private contract. Good
newspapers do not run advertising
which deceives or misleads, but If
newspapers are to be made subject to
the whims of any or every person who
claims he has been deceived by an adj
vertisement, they will have their
hands full defending themselves
against unjust and unwarranted &C.
lions of court. 1t would seem that the
freedom of the press IS being threat,
ened from all quarters. Newspaper
men should unite to thwart all inter
ference of their we'll known rights.
