East Chicago, Ind, Oct. 5.-East
Chicago defeated the Hammond A. A.
football team in the first game OF the
season, II to 0. East Chicago easily
outplayed SohFs recruits. although at
times Hammond through their superior
weight made long gains through East
Chicago's line. Hascall carried the ball
over for the first touchdown. after in
tercepting a pass Mcintosh failed at
the try at goal.
In the second hald Mcintosh made the
second touchdown of the game on an
inside kick. McShane kicked goal
Dougherty for Hammond played a
consistent game while Murphy Nc
Shane, Hascall and Mcintosh played
star ball. Douglas. playing center for
East Chicago, deserves some mention
on Stages all-western as he played
brilliant ball at center.
The game was considered as a prac-
tice game and was marred by frequent
fumbling. The teams lined up as fol-

event with fifteen feet TO spare.
irish American athletes assumed a
commanding lead in the first half of
the meeting. They made 40 points
while the contending New York A. c.
aggregation got 50 counts.
The feature of the night was the
1,000-yard run. in which Harry Gissing
of the New York A. c. retained his
title as American champion. In a
grueling finish he nosed out Joe Brown
low of the Irish A c. for first honors.

Indianapolis, Oct. 5.-W HI. Watkins.
owner of the Indianapolis club of the
American Baseball association. was
called as a witness today in the trial
of the clubs manager. Charles Carr,
charged with playing profess ional base
ball on Sunday. The state purposed
to show by watkins testimony that
Carr made his living by playing base
ball. He said that Carr received $500
for managing the indianapolis club
during the season just closed. The
state is seeking to convict Carr before
a jury, although the last legislature
passed a law excepting playing base
ball on Sunday from the list of unlaw
full Sunday vocations. 1t is held by the
states attorneys that the new law is

H ment's silence as to the loss of
A'A life at Barcelona is still unbrok-
en-, and no statement Is Vouchsafed
giving an exact and adequate idea OF
the bloody incidents attending the re-
preston of the revolution.
Tonight's summary of the situation
shows conditions at Barcelona greatly
improved, and belief prevails here that
by tomorrow all will be over.
No information as to the number OF
revolutionists court-martialed and sem
fenced has reached Madrid.
Already the work of clearing away
evidences of revolution at Barcelona
has begun, and various industries will.
according to these reports, resume op-
erations at once.
Throughout Catalonia the situation
is decidedly calmer, and reports from
other parts of the country bring news
of similar improvement in conditions.
AT Melilla the Moors are actively pre-
pairing for a new attack upon the
Spaniards, but General Marina has
been instructed that as soon as the big
army is concentrated to assume the
offensive march out of Melilla and
strike a decisive blow.
Work of reinforcing Melilla is occu-
pying the attention of the war depart
ment.
King Alfonso today visited Gataf-
eoto to view the artillery corps bound
for the front.
The fund for the war victims is
growing. Queen Victoria today con-
tributed $4,000 and the queen mother
$4,000.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-01
Situation Is Quiet

MELILLA, July 31.-Although heavy
artillery mounted on the forts contin-
ued to throw projectiles against the
Moorish stronghold on Mount Gurugu,
the situation is comparatively quiet.
In spite of overwhelming heat and the
fatigue of battle. the health of the
Spanish troops continues excellent. In
habitants of Melilla have opened their
houses to wounded Spaniards.
Among the natives there is a rumor
that Roghi, the powerful Moroccan
chief, is coming to pacify the tribes
men, but this is doubted.
A train transporting engineers was
derailed and attacked by Moors near
Melilla, but they were repulsed with
loss.
General Marina is planning, when re-
Inducements come, to make a grand
march to Zelouan, in the interior. Tht
Moors, it is declared, are lacking in
food and munitions and were forced
to desist in their attacks and withdraw
to the lead mines to make bullets.

Can Hold His Position

PARIS, July 31.-The Mathis corre-
spondent. who has just arrived at Me-
lila, declares that General Marina,
commander of the Spanish forces on the
Riff coast, says he can easily hold his
position until the arrival of reinforce
ments, when he again will take the Of
tensive. The correspondent says the
Spanish force Is composed of 1850
men, which will be brought up TO
23,500 when General Perreros brigade
arrives, and a total of forty eight guns,
including two batteries of sixty-mili-
meter guns and six mounted batteries.
He says it is impossible to even esti-
mate the loss sustained by the Span
iards in the big battle of July n, as
the dead were not identified and were
buried in trenches on the field. About
800 wounded men were counted as they
were being brought into Melilla. The
correspondent was struck by the APP
parent Indifference of the people of
Melilla. General Norma did not attend
the funeral of General Pintos, whose
body was followed to the grave by
fewer than 100 persons.

SITUATION AT BARCELONA
CONTINUES TO IMPROVE

PARIS, July 31.-Special dispatches
from Barcelona say the situation there
continues to improve. The troops have
dispersed rioters who were seeking to
reight the ruins of the converts. The
barricadeS near the Saraleto hospital,
a strong revolutionary rally point, have
been leVeled by cannon. Eight thou
sand men have arrived to reinforce the
Barcelona garrison. Railroad service
has been resumed between Port Bou
and Corona, but communication to
Barcelona is still cut. The French con-
sui at Port Bou says he does not be-
lieve the movement is anti-govern-
mental or anarchistic, but that 1t is
purely anti-clerical.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Figaro has had an interview with
Senior Lacierva, the Spanish minister
of the interior, in which the minister
said:
'"The insurrection at Barcelona was
of terrible gravity. / doubt If there
has been anything so terrible since the
communicative battle in the streets
with cannon, incendiarism, the pillage
of converts, explosion of dynamite
and the destruction of the railroad
nothing was missing"
The Figaro's Madrid correspondent
declares that those who understand
how critical the situation was at Bar
celona applaud the action of the gov
ernment. If the Liberals had been in
power, the correspondent says, they
would have resigned in favor of a mill
tary cabinet, and the insurrection at
Barcelona undoubtedly has strength
ened the position of the government in
the rest Of SPAIN as those who were the
most severe critics of the expedition
to Meilla and the loudest in the de-
nunciation of the incapacity displayed
by the officers rallied to the side of the
government when they saw the coun-
try in peril. The opinion is unanimous,

sion. He expressed the belief that a
substantial addition to the revenue Is
necessary not only for the purpose OF
paying off the deficit, but also to pro-
vide for a larger expenditure than has
hitherto been made for the improve
ment of our inland waterways. He
predicted it would be the settled policy
of this government hereafter to tax
certain sources of wealth which today
pay no tax to the government.
Mr.. Longworth said: There is one
man, and one man only, who is pri-
marily responsible for the evolution
of the corporation tax, and that is the
president of the United States; and II
it shall become a part of the permanent
law of this country, as 1 believ 1T will,
he is entitled to all the credit for 1t.

nually.
In conclusion Mr.. Longworth said: 81
believe that in evolving and advocat-
ing the passage of this law, the presi-
dent of the United States has re-
deemed in the fullest measure, his
pledge that he would, during his ad-
ministration, proceed along the paths
blocked out by his predecessor; that
he would use every effort to bring his
policies their fullest fruition."

AMERICAN INVENTS AN
ELECTRIC DESTROYER
Claims Are Made That Machine viii
ParaIyze All other Engines

CHICAGO, July 31.-A special cable
from London to the Tribune says:
From an excellent source, it has been
learned the reason the American gov
ernment remains apparently so little
concerned about the advances in aer-
ial navigation made by foreign expert
menters, is that an officer in the Amer
ican army. stationed at Fort Omaha,
has worked out an electric invention
which is likely to paralyze all 'other
existing or proposed engines of war.
The invention. he says, is to be ex-
clusively the property of the United
States government and up to the pres
ent the essential details are careful
ly guarded.
The machine is said to project
through the air a column of electric
energy of almost any desired strength
at any given object for a distance of
many hundred yards.
