DETERMINATIONS

Bernard N. Baker, of Baltimore, SEMI
to President Taft yesterday a prelmi-
nsry report on the discrimination OF
the PanamS Railroad against Americans
shippers and In favor OF the English,
German aud French merchant marine.
The report states that the railroads
gives lower rates to English. German
and French importers TRAN Americans
can secure.
This discrimination ia praciiced in
spite OF the fact that the United States
government owns the Pansma Railroad
and the Panama Steamship Company.
On account OF this censorship the
Panama Steamship Company claims
the right to regulate rates TO aud from
Colon.
While during the past year there
hss been 30 per cent, increase 10
the tonnage from south Pacific Gen.
tiers and Central America bound for
Europe, there has been an so per cent
decrease in tonnage for New York from
the same ports.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany is the only line operating be-
tween San Francisco and the Canal
Zone and is controlled by the Hsrri-
man interests.

from Melilla received today shows that
the besieged Spanish garrison is In a
serious strait and has been compelled to
retreat into the forts at MeIlilIs, under
the guns of the Spanish Wsrships iu the
harbOr.
All the outposts previously held by
the Spanish have been given up to the
victorious Moors, and the Spsniards,
sorely pressed, rely upon the war sbi p
shells to save them from surrender or
complete humiliation.
So fierce have the MOors' rush been
that every outlying position the Span
isrds held had to be given up, the span
iards retreatiug, under CALLING fire.
Though the Spaniards claim the Moor
ish losses have been terrible, and seek
10 minimize their own losses. il is known
that the Spsniards have suffered heavily
in dead and wounded, and that unless
more reinforcements are rushed to the
belesgured city even the heavy guns Of
the warships will be unable to save the
remaining troops.

A dispatch from General Msrinas says:
"On July q, the MOon destroyed our
railroad communications with our out

That there is a revival of interest in

marched gayly into the field in South Side

for nine innings with the bunch from

The Beaneaters committed all sorts Of in

the opportunities offered they could not
register enough runs to win. The score

HURST OUT AT LAST.
American League President Dis

Hurst was officially stripped of his garb
as an umpire of the American League
by President Ban Johnson Saturday. fol-

that his jumps had used the face of one
Eddie Collins as a cuspidor in a game

The alleged splitting almost precipitat-
ed a serious riot Collins. after being
called out at second. raised strenuous
objections and this is when the incident
is said to have occurred. Fans in the
right field bleachers claimed to have seen
it and Immediately after the game made
a rush for Tim. Pop bottles, cushions
and other missiles were hurled proniscu-
ously at him, but the police and Athletic
PLAYERS ushered Hurst off the field. Hurst
was suspended that night and his dis
missal Saturday was the outcome.
The passing Of Hurst removes from the
game one Of the most unique personalities
that has ever handled an indicator.
For the most part he was more or less
popular. This probably can be attribut-
ed to the fact that in every misunder-
standing that he had. whether physical
or verbal, Tim always came off on top.
His nerve and perspicacity won for him
many friends.
Hurst has been connected with the
game for twenty years in one capacity
or another. During this time he has
had trouble galore. Probably the most
notable was that at Cincinnati August
4, 1897, when Tim was handling the in
dicator in the National League. He was
umpiring a game between Pittsburg and
Cincinnati on the latter's grounds. AT a
crucial moment of the game a rooter
became enraGed at his jumps and aimed

temper and returned the compliment.

Vile was seriously injured and Hurst was

however. finally lost Tim his job and he
was idle for several years. until Ban
Johnson took him into the American
League camp.
Hurst said Saturday that he was per-
fectly satisfied and that after twenty
years of handling the indicator he feit
it about time to settle down and enjoy
life as it should be enjoyed.
President Johnson has named Mike
Thompson. a well known foot ball referee
and base ball man of Washington, to
