national polo team to return. In talking
OF his experiences in England. he said:
Players. public and press were all alb

The defeat came to the Englishmen as
an absolute surprise, but nevertheless
they made no excuses"
According to Waterbury. the English
sporting writer's are all familiar with
polo and were quick to recognize that
the American victories were not due to
luck. but to a more aggressive system of
play and superior speed.

In speaking OF the differences in the
rules. Waterbury said: THE English
offside rule. which is something like our
ice hockey rule, bothered US a great
deal at first. We had about a month s
practice and We got used to it, but we
had to think about it. while it came
as second nature to Them"
The English have one grain Of COM

victorious Americans were all of English
stock, though most of them were taken
over from this country.
Waterbury said that the team had many
invitations for dinners and various social
functions, but on account of their strict
training they had to refuse all Of them

sorry that he had to leave when he did,
as the team would have played for the
English championship If he had re-

He went on to say that polo is very
popular in England. as the game is
played by more people there than here.
AT the final game there were 5000

unpleasantnesses. The crowd. however,
was not like the crowds that were at

Spencer at Danville, Va.
NEW YORK, July 22.-G. H. Janney OF
Birmingham, Ala, has just sailed on the
Campania, with the avowed intention OF
avenging the murder of his brother-in-
law. Janney. who is q broker, hurried
to New York from Danville, Va, where
the murder occurred. barely in time to
catch the boat. He did not have time to
go to the ticket Office for transportation.
His haste was due to the fact that he
had just learned the whereabouts of the
man he seeks.
Il have been looking for the man who
killed D. II. Spencer year ago, and !
know where he is now" said Janney.
case
Spencer was at first believed to have
been killed by burglar, Janney said.
but was in reality the victim Of bust
ness enemy. Passengers who talked with
Janney said that he had been recently
told in a dream that the unknown MUIR
derer would be found in certain cafe in
Paris.
When the Spencer family was leaving
home for the mountains last summer
Janney was asked to sleep in the house
during the absence of the family and
consented to do SO.
Before the first night came he was pos
sessed of the feeling that he ought not
to sleep in the mansion-that he would be
killed IL he did. He declined, therefore.
and his brother-in-law, Spencer. was per-
suaded to occupy one room left for that
purpose.
The following morning Spencer was
found in bed unconscious and with a bull
let wound in the head. He revived long
enough to tell the story of the shooting
and then died.
Spencer said he was awakened in the
night and thought the cat had sprung
upon the bed He reached out to stroke
her and found that he had hold Of a
mans arm. Instantly the intruder grasp
ed his arm, drew him to q sitting position
and fired. A. number Of things were
taken from tie house. but they were only
trifies whereas much that was valuable
and easily accessible was undisturbed. It
was believed, therefore, that the motive
was not robbery but revenge.

MILWAUKEE. July o2.-Justice David
J. Brewer of the United States Supreme
Court in an address here yesterday to an
association Of life insurance agents spoke
with the freedom of a layman on many
issues.
Under the hue and cry of today We
must have an income tax which means q
tax upon all incomes. and If that power
is given the government we will see the
states taxed not out Of their existence.
but out of their vitality.
1.-The idea leads up to the question of
placing the entire power in the control
of the nation. and the state is left out of
the matter"
Jabs at Roosevelt.
Brewer said:
AT the close of the civil war we began
paying the debt of that war and we kept
on paying the debt Owing to the I'M
wise attitude of the political leaders and
the President. who spoke Of me and my
navy we have piled up public debts for
vessels which will rust before they are
used.
so far as possible. believe that every
generation should pay Its own debts. The
only thing we should be guarded against
is the wickedness of the bankers and
Wall street SPECTATORS who occasionally
get up a panic.
1.-The Almighty is going to require US
to continue to strive and do our best,
and we shall yet see the picture of
honest men doing honest business. We
had ten years of unprecedented pros
perity until the late financial depres
sion, and we can have it again. But we
must all exercise honesty and fairness
to all men.
Negro Question to Be Solved.
I've have great questions that we
must meet as we go along. and these
auestions-the negro question. for in
stance-we must meet and solve. There
IS a negro question that We in the north
cannot control.
This question must be controlled by
our friends In the south. and it Is our
duty to encourage them in its solution.
THE colonial question is another. and
we must do our best to care for and
educate the people we have inherited.
Then there is the question of female
franchise. This is question that can
not be ignored. If it is for the interest
Of the gentler sex that they should
vote. then 1t is for the interest of the
nation.
Il have one supreme hope, and that
is that may. or. at least, that my chill
when this great republic will stand
forth as the leader OF the nations In
the cause OF universal peace. I hope
they at least will live to see the time
when the implements of warfare are
forgotten and put aside and the troubles

HIS BROTHER SAYS THAT SALLY

senior in the Princeton Theological
Seminary, whose brother, Howard c..
Baskerville, jr., was killed on Tuesday
at Tabriz, Persia, while leading a
small number of revolutionists against
the besieging troops of the Shah, has
received several cablegrams telling of
the young missionary's death. Mr..
Baskerville said:
Some of the newspaper accounts
give the impression that my brother
met his death in foolhardy venture,
but have received information that
my brothers courage was not reck-
less or impetuous,. but rather an action
that the circumstances demanded. The
authorities had appealed to him to
lead the sally from the city to gain
food for the starving inhabitants of
Tabriz. He organized about one hun
dred and fifty men and all but nine de-
serted him. He kept on despite the
odds and was shot in the heart. One
cablegram to me from a prominent
American in Tabriz says Baskerville
died nobly'"
Howard c. Baskerville, jr., gradual
ed from Princeton University in 1907,
with honors. He was prominent In
debating and oratorical contests. He
left here In June, 1907, to teach in the
mission school of the American Pres
byterian church in Tabriz. On March
81, last, he left the mission school to
assist the revolutionists with whom
he was in sympathy, his act being for
mally repudiated by the American
mission. He had planned to return
to Princeton to take course in the

fall. His parents, the Rev. and Mrs.
