The Waterloo Champs ran bases at
will on RUDE Burch and "Pa" Belt at
Waterloo yesterday and won the first
game of the series by the score of 5
to 1. Eleven bases differed by the
speed artists enabled them to stretch
nine hits into five runs, while seven
hits for Keokuk were only good for a
single mark. With the slow wind up
of Burch and Belts uncertain peg the
Champs had little difficulty in burning
up the paths between first, second and
third.
Burch was on the mound for the In
dams and was touched up right live
ly Nine of the Waterloo players were
able to find him during the game, one
going for three sacks and another for
two.
Darrah pitched good ball for Water
loo and kept his hits well scattered
Landry got two singles out of three
times up and Corridor was able te
connect with two Dagger. Red has
been hitting the ball with great regu
larity during the present trip, having
obtained a hit in every game.

SEND YOUTH 10 INSTITUTE
where BE Gan Learn Trade and De Educated
and Become 4 Coed Man. Prepared 70

Says the Lake Charles American:
Judge Aleck Boarman Tuesday
decreed that the best thing for young
Adam Reed, who, with his younger
brother, participated in an escapade
at Vaughn recently that brought
trouble upon them, was that he should
spend three years at the United
States institute Of correction at
Washington.
The kind-hearted judge gave the
youngster a 'heart-to-heart talk and
explained that he was not sending
him to prison; that if he had no other
course but to imprison the youngster
he would probably have ordered his
release, but Judge Boarman expressed
the conviction that the months spent
at the federal school would work won
ders for Adam, and that at the end
Of the three years course he would
emerge well equipped to face Ife's
battle, a better and stronger man.
7 am not sending you there be-
cause / think you are a bad boy at
heart said the judge, but because
it will be best for you. / think that
You were just overpoWered by inn
pulses we all feel at some period Of
our career, but you were not as strong
as most people and were unable to
overcome them. tt is to take yop
from surroundings that might result
unfavorable for you that / have de-
cided upon this course. / am not
sending you to prison; you will not
lose your citizenship; there will be
no stigma attached. Rather IS the
institute more Of a. college, where
you will be educated, taught discip-
line and a means of earning a liveli-
hood, and ! believe that you will
emerge a better man for the expert
ence."
Judge Boarman is unalterabiy op-
posed to sending youthful offenders
to prisons, where they will come in
contact with the hardened criminals,
and takes occasion to call the stten
tion Of every grand jury to the harm
being done by this practice, and soil
cts their aid to have the state pro
vide reformatories for girls and boys,
whites and blacks, where they may
be kept in custody separately and
made good citizens, instead of fore
ing many youthful offenders into ca
reers Of crime.

RAILROAD In LOUISIANA
Construction Unusually ActIEa During the Past
Tear, Notwithstanding financial Depression

According to the tenth annual
report of the Louisiana State Rail-
road Commission, and sent out from
Baton Rouge, there were 1853
miles more Of railroad in operation
ii the State on June 30. 1908, than.
on The same date Of the previous
year.
A portion Of the increase in mile
age was due to new lines coming In
to operation, some Of which, while
they were built previous to June 80,
1907, were not placed in operation
as common carriers until some time
during the year ending June 80,
1908.
The remainder Of the new mileage
was required or built by lines which
have previously reported TO The com
mission. Many lines showed IN
ereases in mileage operated (all
tracks over the previous year aggre-
gated 1886 miles.
Railroad construction in Louisiana
was unusually active considering the
financial depression which cast its
shadow over the entire country dur
ing the past two years. and again
the State stands near the head Of
the list Of States leading in new rail-
road mileage.
There has been a cessation in con-
struction work since June 80, 1903,
but che beginning Of the year 1909
is marked by a resumption Of railroad
building, and the Indication point to
. rapid completion of several import
ant lines, which will become valuable
lines in the railroads system of the
State.
There are in operation in Louis-
lana, in addition to the mileage Of
railroads which are common carriers,
l,076.54 miles Of railroads operated
exclusively in the interests Of indus
tries.

TINE ElR SHREERIII
PROHIBITION NOLATORS
wealthy Hotel HaA Sent to tie Public Rosas
for Thirty Days for Selling Liquor
I'm Shreveport.

Shreveport La, May 22.-Ihe SEN
tence to the parish roads Of Charles
Hagman, proprietor Of several hotels,
and Sam Dabar, an Oil City merchant;
the arrest Of Phil Draiss, former
chief of the local saloonists, and Mike
Lipsey, a prominent near beer deal
.er and the refusal of q rehearing for
Andy E. Maloney shows that prohi-
.bition yiolators in Shreveport had q
warm time today. The case Of Hag-
man perhaps attracted the most at
tention, because Of the wealth and
prominence of the defendant, who is
proprietor Of the Phoenix Hotel, Of
Shreveport, the Crosby House, Of
Beaumont, aud one or two hotels in
Oklahoma. He left Shreveport soon
after the conviction on two charges
Of breaking the prohibition law, and
his bondsman was given until today
to produce him. It was thought
he would stay out Of Louisiana. But
this morning he appeared before
Judge a. j. Murf, with State Senator
Thomas G. Barrett representing him
and was fined $500 and sentenced to
thirty days on the public roads.
Notice was given that Writs of GER
%tiorari, prohibition and mandamus,
which were asked for, but refused
Robbins and Rosetti, Hagman's bar
tenders, will be sought of the supreme
Court, and pending the appeal bond
in the sum Of $1,000 in each case
was ordered. Hageman is So years
Of age, and if The Supreme Courts re-
fuses the writs, an effort viii be made
to keep him from the roads because
of physical disability. He says he
came here for sentence because he
did not want to be q fugitive from
justice.

Shirt Locates Body.

According TO a dispatch from CO.
lumbus, Ga, the body Of Brady
Grooms, a young man who was drown
ed Sunday in the Chattahoochee river,
was recovered il a rather remarkable
manner.
After searching in vain for hours
the father Of the young man was adj
Vised to toss into the river one of his
sons shirts, and that it would sink
immediately over the spot where the
body lay. The experiment was tried.
The shirt drifted down the river for
quite d distance, near the bank and
then suddenly doatedto the middle of
the stream and sank. Grooms body
vas found with the shirt cIinging to
his legs.

New York judge Says that Ia SEINE Respeel

New York. May PA negro and
a white man DO not suffer equal hu-
initiation in tue eyes Of the Law for
false arrest, according TO the appel
late division Of the supreme court
which yesterday sustained an order
of Justice Dugro in the Supreme
court reducing the amount of damages
awarded George Griffin, a Pullman
porter, from $3.50 to $500. The
negro was arrested ii Montreal,
charged with stealing a pocket book
but the charge wss not sustained and
he was released. He brought suit
against Daniel Fl. Brady, New York
manufactures, who caused his arrest.
In his order Justice Dugro said:
while in some sense the negro,
under the law, is just a good j man
as the President Of the United States,
it would be a bad argument to say
that he is. just as good in some re-
.spects. The damages ii a case Of
this kind depends on q mans standing
and circumstances. # he is colored
that fact should Be considered"

Why Fruit Crop is Short.
SAYS the AbbeYilIa Maridional.

Says the Abbeyille Meridional:
4 careful observer Of the habits Of
the fruit tree gives this opinion con
corning the absence Of fruit in the
peach orchards this year. He does
not consider that the frosts we're
responsible but rather that the trees
blossomed and undertook to make q
crop last fall. AS the peach tree
only fruits on the new wood, these
fall blossoms, Of course, came upon
the wood grown last season, and
therefore used up their vitality, max
ing it impossible for the trees to
fruit heavily this year.
