ENFORCING RETURN BY Law
PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS OF
MILK BOTTLES.
Suggestion Made in Behalf of the
Dealers-Carelessne of
Grocers Alleged.

That some means be found by law to
compel householders to return milk bot
ties to toe dealers who supply them is
the suggestion contained in a letter re-
ceived by Corporation Counsel E. H.
Thomas from c. &. Dade & Co., milk
dealers.
The letter explained that one of the
drivers employed by the writer was re-
Gently found guilty in the Police Court
of stealing milk bottles.
Now, / don't Uphold anybody when
found stealing" Mr.. Dade says In his
letter. but what I wish % say is under
the circumstances it is not a case of
stealing. and it seems to me that we are
only in this city to be prosecuted and
are entitled to no protection OF the law
I presume you know there is a law pro-
nibiting people from keeping bottles that
don't belong to them, and that grocery
men are using them to serve their trade
with coal oil. vinegar, oysters and every
thing Imaginable; that the janitors of
apartment houses and everybody else that
wants to can take them to the bottle ex-
change and sell them for X cent, and we
are compelled to pay ] cent for our own
bottles. You can easily see why people
are encouraged to take them.
Entails Heavy Loss.
Now, / don't want any stolen bottles.
Dut IL Is Impossible Tor me 10 run my
business and send out a load of new
bottles every time I load the wagon.
Il think If you will see that our bottles
are not used for anything but milk, that
consumers are not allowed to fiji, their
ash barrels with them and have them
hauled to the dump and hauled back to
the bottle exchange and resold to U.s. we
and the police department would be put
to much less expense
In rep.y to the letter. Corporation Coun-
sci Thomas has told Mr.. Dade that he is
In sympathy with the complaint.
I'm the very brief time / have had to
look the matter up he says, II have
been unable to find any specific law I'M
der which this Office can help you, un-
less it be section s7S of the code as
amended February 81. 1907, which pro-
tects bottles that are registered with la
bells. and filed with the clerk of the Su-
preme Court Of the District of Columbia
Il suggest that you take this letter to
Mr.. Push. assistant corporation counsel
at the Police Court, who has had long
experience with all matters Of this kind,
ana see whether he can suggest anything
that can be done for you"

SKELETON SOLVES MYSTERY
BONES OF MISSING BELTSVILLE
POSTMASTER FOUND.
Discovered by Negro in the Woods
Near Laurel, Md.-Death
From Exposure.

HYATTSVILLE, Md, October 2J.-'The
mystery surrounding the disappearance OF
Charles Albert Fog, jr.. formerly post.
master at Beltsville, Prince George coun.
ty, who left his home June 10 last, was
cleared yesterday afternoon, when Ernes,
Gibson, colored, accidentally ran across
hat and coat lying by the side of q
ditch about q half-mile north of Laurel
in Howard county, and about fifty yards
to the west Of the Washington and Bal
timore boulevard. Further investigation
by Gibson disclosed what was left OF
the remains of young Fox lying in
clump Of bushes near the ditch. Nothing
| was left Of the body but bones. The spoi
where the remains were found is a drears
one, and on the same afternoon that FoS
left his home a searching party passed
within few yards of the place where
Gibson made his discovery. ;
Gibson went to Laurel and notified Tn
dertaker George f. French, who placed
the bones in a box and took them to his
place, and notified Magistrate Webb OF
High Ridge, Howard county. The latter
at once summoned a jury Of inquest
which will convene this evening at
o'clock.
Complete identification was established
b. means Of the initials OF young Fox or
a pair OF gold cuff buttons and OH the
band of his hat. Identification was made
more certain by his clothing, which was
bought from clothing firm in Washing
ton where Tod Fox, the dead mans
brother works. In the pocket of the
trousers were found Is cents and a key
believed to be the key to the Beltsvillt
post office.
Father at Brothers Funeral.
AS soon rs he returned to Laurel Tn

Charles A. Fox, at Beltsville. father of
the dead man, but learned that he was
at Fairfax Court House, Va, where he
went yesterday to complete arrangements
for the burial of his brother. Amos Fox.
| aged sixty-seven years. who died there
Saturday. DIR. Fox received notice OF
| the death of his brother only Saturday
afternoon. and shortly afterward was
notified by Mr.. John Hicks of Beltsville
| that the remains of his son had prob
| ably been found The doctor left his son
Tod to investigate the report and went to
| Fairfax, not knowing whether his sons
| remains had been discovered or not.
| The young man was last seen alive near
| Laurel last June. and at the time was
suffering with a fever. There is no doubt
| that young Fox wandered into the bushes,
where he died No thought of foul play
| Is entertained. as what little money he
| had was found in his clothes. The place
where the remains were found Is sur
rounded by thick underbrush, and is al
most inaccessible during the summer
| months. The recent frosts have taken
| off the leaves, and Gibson was in the
act of gathering some flrewood when he
made the discovery.
Dr. Fox has always contended that his
sons remains would be found somewhere
near his home, AS he was firmly con-
WINGED that the fever from which he was
suffering had affected his mind. There
| were no business or social entanglements
that could have induced the young mar
to 90 away.

when at the, bat. .. He never tries 70
work the: pitcher for a pass to first
base. He never guesses on The ball
that comes whizzing over the plate
He simply stands there to hit the ball
He knows what kind he can hit and
IL he misses it twice, it makes no diff
ference to him. He'll try to hit iC the
third time just the same. ".
When the ball comes over where he
wants it, he just clouts it. His hits
are not the long, driving kind over
the outfielders, but those liners that
just get past the infield. He is not
a wild swinger, but sure one. He
bats left handed, but is almost as
good against left handed pitchers as
right handlers. Nothing can excite
him, The pitcher may shoot one
straight at his head and holl dodge
just enough to let the ball get past
his face without ripping, off the skin.
The opposing players may yell as
loud as they please about his crooked
legs, but he'll pay no attention to
them. He never hears the noise in
the grand stand. His GOODNESS is tan
talking to the opposing pitcher. There
is no use hurting bad ones at him
because he won't hit at them. Dode
simply makes the pitcher give him
what he wants. and then cracks the
ball. The st. Louis fans know how
many times he delivered hit last
season in a pinch.

KETCHEL HAS A DREAM
The Middieweisht Champion Says He
Can Beat Big Jack
Johnson.

Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight
champion, who aspires to match
with Jack Johnson, the worlds heavy
weight king, is confident that he can
best the big negro. The conqueror Of
Papke comedies the ethiopian the ad-
vantage IN height and weight but
stops there. He states that Johnsons
cleverness has been far over-rated
and that he has met and defeated
men fully as shifty as the heavy
weight title-holder. Ketchel further
asserts that he can hir as hard as
his future opponent and that he will
advocate continued body blows to
wear him down. The middleweight
champion says that he has become
considerably heavier and that he
could fight at 1876 pounds and be in
good condition. Kerchel appears to
be firmly convinced that johnson
would wilt under a shower of hard
body blows and that he would thus.
be enabled to wrest the negro's laurels
from him in a long distance go.

CRISS A QUEER one
He Is q Great Batter, But Lacks the
Stuff to Make a Great 49,.
>. i d, .s Slab Artist. .. ....

Jack O'Connor, the veteran catcher
who has helped coach the Browns for
the past. three seasons without being
of much use behind the bat, worked
all spring and summer with Dode
Criss, trying to, make a pitcher OF
him.. At times, Jack declared, the
tall Texas youth had everything, and
probably the next day would say he
would never be pitcher. Criss has a
good curve ball. but has nothing to
mix with il. His fast ball, or in
shoot as many call it, has no jump
to it, and, though there is plenty of
speed on it, the batters can hammer
1t all over the field because 1t doesn't
break a bit. Unless he can learn to
shoot that fast one so it will iur1n.
1t is absolutely useless in the big
league, and a pitcher with nothing
but curve ball and a straight fast
one wouldn't win one game in ten.
1t seems that Criss is about out Of
1t as pitcher, though he may accom-
plish the trick Of making the fast ball
jump. But even as a pitcher, the
chances are he wouldn't be in the
game more than once in four or Aye
days. and his hitting ability would be
wasted. He excels as a hitter. and
1t is for his hitting that he is wanted
in the game. Therefore, there is moth
Ing to do but teach him to field a
position on the team and make reg
ular out OF him.
Dode is the most natural hitter thar
has broken into fast company in manv
seasons. He is absolutely fearless

PENS LIFE STORY
5RITIsHERs LOOK UPON RUDY
ONE AS LAST ENGLISH
WORLDS cHAMPIoN"-L LONDON
WRITERS SAY he ls SERIOUS IN
DESIRE TO MEET JOHNSON.

Bob" Fitzsin1mons who is descr,hed
as the last English worlds champion,
has followed the example of Battling.
Nelson and Joined the ranks OF the
literary pugilists.
| The famous fighter is writing HIS
"reminiscences of the ring for a Lon
don weekly paper.
1t will be surprise to MANY of the
friends and admirers on the other side
to hear Fitz spoken of as the English
worlds champion" but as a matter Of
fact he was born In England though
MS fighting was done in America. and
he has always regarded himself as an
American.
F1tzsimmons appears to be In ear
nest in his desire to fight johnson
and there ars those who are inclined
10 oelleVe that the veteran can make
good. One writer in The Mirror says:
F1tzsimmons Is easily the most ex-
traordinary fighter that ever lived
since Jim Belcher, the Napoleon Of the
ring" When he won the champion
ship of the world from j. j. Corbett
with that awful left shift to the solar
plexus, he was only a middleweight-
eleVen st, four 10, He was never called
clever fighter; and as an exhibition
boxer he would never have made a
great name. But he was clever. The
apparent opening to the other man was
really the opening for his own counter
after which the referee announced the
name of the winner-Fitzsimmon
Johnson said, after his match with
Burns, that he'd forgotten more than
Burns ever knew That Is possible,
but 1t is also likely that Fftzsimmons
besides knowing all that johnson
knows, has remembered what johnson
has forgotten He has his punch left
still, too. Youth will be served, my
masters" .s
One thing is sure, fight between
Johnson and Fitzsimmons would be
drawing card in England.

HAD ROUGH ROAD.
Strong Man" Durham Had to Fight
to Win Out

Sh'Nh9 WAN GUTHdn Tad TO FISNt
to Win Out.
Although it is not generally known
Pitcher Lou Durham, who is now
sharing the New York spotlight with
Rube Marquard, got his start at Cen
eva. o.
It was five years ago that Durham
acted as chief pitcher, manager. cap
tain and outfielder for the Geneva
team Of semi professionals Durham
had pitched a few games for Niles in
the old Protective association. abtic
after getting an awful waIloping from
the GAINESVILLE team one dav, Charley
Grove, who is to manage Youngstown
next year, and was then in charge at
Niles, turned him loose.
Durham drifted up to Geneva. shut
out Ashtabula in the first game he
worked against Geneva's hated rivals,
and at once he was the town hero
He pitched for Geneva during the re-
'mainder of the season, and 1t was
not uncommon for him to get his
bumps from some of the village teams
in that neck OF tse woods. y
The road to success has been
hard one for Durham, for he has sure
~ had his troubles all the way. The
following year, after: playing at Cen
eva, he tried the" Tri- State with only
fair success. Then he drifted to the
Central league and worked for Fort
Wayne. only to draw his release after
a short trial. louisville in the AM

soon tied the can on him. Charley
Carr Of Indianapolis was hard off for
twirlers and gave Durham a chance
after, he. was turned loose by the Colo
nels, and he made good with a ven
geance.- He also had the honor of
helping Carr win the pennant, and
aiding materially in causing Louis
Vile to lose it, by winning three of
four games from them.
The career Of Durham should be "a
lesson to every young player, not to
