SHOT FOR BURGLARS.

A terrible tragedy was enacted two
miles north of Fulton Sunday night
when George Speed shot and instant
ly killed his brother-in-law. Alb. Vim
son.
Vinson, with his wife and three chill
dren,. were in town Saturday after
noon. and meeting Speed. the lat
ter invited them to spend the night
at his home. The intense heat made
1t impossible for Vinson and his wife
to sleep. and the two arose and went
out on the balcony to cool off. Their
talk aroused one of the Speed chill
dren. and the child told his father
burglars were in the house.
At this juncture Mr.. and Mrs. Vim
son arose to go in the house and the
elder Speed seized a shotgun and
opened fire on them. The first shot
struck Vinson and he fell dead. The
second shot was intended for Mrs.
Vinson, but went wide of the mark.
Speed is heart broken over the sad
affair. Wilson's body was laid to rest
Sunday afternoon at Chapel Hill. A
large concourse of friends followed
the remains to their last resting
place.
No action will be taken against
Speed. He is a man of high charac-
ter and his version of the sad affair
is accepted without question. II is
merely the old story of being too
quick with the gun.

BENEFIT GAME IS
PLAYED FOR WAITS
Limelights and Missionites Give
Burlesque Exhibition of
National Pastime

The baseball game played at Reerea-
tion park yesterday for the benefit of
the Youths Directory was for good
cause. but rank injustice was done
to the name of Henry Chadwick, father
of the game. The great sport which
the American people call the national
pastime was given an awful deal at
the hands of about 25 well known citi-
zens who gathered at Recreation park
to show about 1000 spectators that
they once knew how to play the game.
They will probably suffer for the next
few days from pains as a result of
having overworked bones and muscles
that have been dormant for many a
day.
The game was between the Mission
ties and the Limelights 1t went eight
and half innings when Announcer
Kenny said that it was declared a tie
owing to darkness, but from inside
sources it was learned that the Lime
hghts were short of wind, and being
unable to secure an oxygen tank the
contest was called a tie when both
teams had runs each
The Missionftes insist that Pat Green,
the undertaken, put the jinks on them.
1Hey say ne mas been associated too
many years with dead ones, and his
influence worked it's effects on the 9TH
er members of the team
The Limelights were well fortified in
the field. The portly twins, Judge Mo-
gan and Billy" Hynes, covered too
much territory and the ball had no
chance of getting by them once it was
in the outfield.
The Limelights showed the class with
the stick. The presence of part of the
ponce department in the lineup of the
lights" was responsible. Their train
ing with the "billies" gave them a rare
advantage when they went to the bat.
They welded the stick with more free
dom than the Missionites. Instead of
hitting straight out at the ball the
lights" showed a tendency to bring
the stick down on the sphere 1t
seemed to be force of habit.
Charley F'ickert held down first for
the Missionftes and at times he became
confused, as he thought he was play-
ing football. Doctor Greeley lost the
game for the Mission crew. He banged
out hit but struck out for second
base instead of soing to the initial
sack.

SHIPS AT SEA WILL

Panama=Pacific Exposition Site
Will Overlook Ocean Which
Gives 1t Name
Commissioners May Attend Ger
emony When First Shovel
full of Earth Is Turned

That the Panama Pacific interna-
tional exposition, to be held in San
Francisco in 1915, will be so located
that some of the buildings constructed
for fair purposes may be permanently
built and situated to become legacy
to the city is the hope of the business
men who are now working for the sue
cess of the exposition. AS yet the site
for the show has not been even tenta-
lively selected. That will not be done
until the citizens committee of 100 is
organized and the director general and
other officers of the exposition are Sc
lected and installed in their offices
But the men who are to play prom1-
nent If not leading parts in the expo
sition are the members OF the con-
ference committee appointed at the
mass meeting held last Tuesday.
Casually among themselves these men
have considered the location OF the falr
grounds, but have arrived at no offi-
cial decision
A reservation in the western part of
Golden Gate park beyond the stadium
may be set aside for the fair and the
full advantage of the natural and de-
veloped beauties of the park utilized.
The chain of lakes would be improved,
deepened and connected by broad
canals, and the water effect, which
added so greatly to the charm of the
white city of the Worlds Columbian
exposition at Chicago, could be more
than duplicated.
Then, with the western end or the
park as the site of the fair, the grounds
would overlook the great ocean Wh1ch
is to give it's name to the exposition
the Pacific. Ships coming from the
ends of the earth through the Panama
canal would steam majestically past the
very portals of the exposition and fire
their gracious salutes in honor of the
exposition on the sands of the Pacific
The park stadium would be adjacentsto
the grounds and the athletic games
which are to be held during the year,
drawing the most notable professional
and amateur athletes of the world,
could show their prowess on the splen-
did park track and field.
A permanent building constructed on
the park grounds would be a valuable
addition to the attractions of the park
The park museum was the art gall
lery of the California midwinter fair
and was donated to the park and the
city by the fair management.
The committee of citizens will be
named this week and then the pre-
liminary work for the greatest expo
sition ever held in the world will
speedily be put under way.
