A WARMING note
FROM JUSTICE
In Letter to Manager Frank Belt
He Denounces Rowdyism and
Arguments With Umpire
on Ball Field.
IS FINED FIVE DOLLARS
The Fine Which Umpire shoekley
Made When He Suspended Belt
From Grounds Win be
Upheld.

Frank Belts action on the baseball
diamond and warning him to elimi-
nate all abusive tactics in the future,
President M. 3. Justice, of the Cen
trail Association, has issued an early
warning note to other managers In
the Central Association and 1t is
thought that they will profit thereby.
Mr.. Justice states in his letter to Belt
that If his practice of kicking on the
umpire'sl decisions and any abusive
words directed at the Indicator man
coptInaess hi Eih ,tesprt to drastic
nsaslxek adSh sesthe penalty be
q fine~of suspension it will not be
light one and any action thus taken
will be to promote the game OF base
ball among the fans and make 1t at
tractive to them and command their
respect.
Frank Belt is one of the most ca
pable managers in the Central Asso-s
citation and in the minor leagues of
the country and his ability has long
been recognized throughout the league
and especially in KeoI1uk. 1t is be-
cause of his aggressiveness and his
great desire to win that has caused
him to fight for every inch of ground
that would take him step closer to
victory, and his prolonged arguments
with the umpires have resulted on this
account.
But President Justice says that
arguments with umpiresi must stop
and that seems to be final. He states
that the umpires rulings will be rigidly
backed and that a suspension or a
fine will follow any rowdy work ON the
| ball field.
Manager Belt was fined yesterday
for disputing and arguing with the
umpire which was set at SIS, and which
President Justice in his letter to Man
ager Belt says will stand.
President Justice also called atten-
ton to the fact that there were no
police on the field yesterday, in let
ter to Treasurer Louis Sterne, and
mentions other details that should be
attended to.
Speaking of Manager Belt it might
be sal. that he has always been ag-
gressive, but the work Of the umpire
in the two Waterloo games have given
the managers many chances for an
/ argument.
Reiche Caught Ball.
The fly in question yesterday which
went to centerfield and which Reichle
caught about six inches from the
ground should have been decided diff
ferently by Umpire Shockley The
ball did not hit the ground according
to statement made by Richie after
the game.

A BRoTHERLY BROTHER.
He Meets with Good Fortune in Jamaica
and Shares His Wealth

The town of Paterson, n. j., is buzz
zing over the report that Dr. e. b. Nor
gan Of that place is shortly to become the
possessor of million dollars through the
generosity of his brother, DR.. John Nor
gan, the eye specialist of Boston. The
report is that Dr. John Morgan recently
made $7,5O0,OO0 in a speculation, and
that he Immediately proffered his broth
er, who is in moderate circumstances, a
substantial share in his good fortune
DIR. Morgan confirms the report and thus
explains the source of his unexpected
wealth: Several years ago my brother,
DR.. John Morgan, purchased as a specu-
lation, 23OC acres of copper mine prop
erty in the island of Jamaica. He had
no idea that anything would come of it,
but some time ago heavy rains came and
washed out vast amounts of copper. A
couple of hundred men were hired and
put to work and at the present time the
property is worth millions" Recently
he visited his brothers sanitarium in
Boston and assisted him in an opera
ton on the eyes of a prominent Back
Bay society woman. The operation
proved so successful and the specialist
was SO well pleased at the skill Of his
country brother that he told him of his
intention of giving him $1,OOO,O00 short
ly. The Paterson occulist thought it
joke at first but he changed his mind
when three letters came from his brother,
telling him of his wonderful fortune.

DEER SEEMED TO KNOW.
Wild Doe Helps Woman to Take Care of
Wounded Fawn.

An incident in animal life which pos
sibly may never be duplicated occurred
a few weeks ago on the estate OF
George w. Watson at Eastern Point.
Soon after Mr.. Watson arrived at his
Eastern Point residence a fawn was
born in the grass land around the resi-
dence. During the winter of course there
was nothing to disturb the deer and they
wandered at will around the estate.
When it was time to cut the grass a
moving machine was put to work and
the sharp knife of the mower found the
little fawn while it was cuddled up IN
the heritage. One leg was cut quite bad
ly-so badly that the baby deer was UNI
able to get away. 1t was taken care OF
by Mr.. Watson and the injured leg
treated.
The little chap seemed to understand
that it was in good hands and responded
to the treatment. 1t was left where
found and each day the mother doe came
along and attended to the provision of
strength daily. Now the little chap has
fully recovered and is able to fight its
own life battle. More ardent lovers of
animal and bird life than Mr.. and Mrs.
Watson cannot be found, and they are
well pleased to know that the fawn they
cared for is able to follow its mother
and enjoy the freedom of Gordon woods.
1t has been accorded to very. few
even those who spend much time in the
wilds to see baby deer nurtured as MI
and Mrs. Watson saw their little pet

ENGINE STALLS ON INSECTS.
Grand Trunk Flyer Flows Into Swarm
of Flies and Stops.

A few years ago the Grand Trunk
flyer going east was in hard luck, says
the Ottawa Citizen. At Napance the
steam box on the big engine got over
worked, or something, and refused to
continue the journey. The timely ar
rival of freight train helped. The cars
were shunted to siding and the freight
engine brought into commission on the
express, taking it as far as Brockville,
when another large engine was secured.
Now comes the peculiar part of the
troubles of that train. When about
twenty miles out of Cornwall it ran
into a sea of peculiar flies. There were
millions of them-perhaps billions-but
the train was going so fast it was inn
possible to count them.
The cars became quite dark as the
train ploughed through the mass of in
sects and then the train came to another
sudden stop. The engine was full of
flies. The little things were ground into
a mass in the driving rod. They were
in everything on the engine.
The train had been ploughing through
the flies at mile a minute for several
miles. The track was covered with
crushed insects and the engine wheels
baked at going round on it. After a
little persuasion and a lot of cleaning
up the train went upon its way again.
On arrival at Montreal the engine pre-
sented truly curious spectacle. The
bars of the cowcatcher were filed right
up with flies. On the front of the en-
CINE they were several inches thick.

Mrs. Pankhurst Says American Women
Are as Fit as the Men.

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the Eng
lish suffragette, who in the short time
she has been in this country, has made
herself felt as personality of no COM
mon order, was the guest at reception
given by the National and State Suffrage
associations. with the assistance of Mrs.
Belmont. at the headquarters in Fifth
avenue. New York. In her remarks to
the assemblage Mrs. Pankhurst vigor-
ously denied statement that she had
said American women were not ready for
the franchise. II never said such a
thing; / never thought such thing.
American women. with the possible ex-
ception of the women of Australia, are
the most ripe of any nation for the bal
lot. They are as ready for it as Ameri-
can men," Her women hearers rended
their gloves in applause. The men shout
ed Hear! Hearp' 81 say that with

Mrs. Pankhurst to another outburst of
enthusiasm. 81 would have said the

made the men and women to match each
other. If you want thing very much,
my friends, so much that you cannot
wait another minute to get it, then you

pointed her definition with the story of
two newsboys who were crying in their
papers meeting of the suffragists and a

Tetrazzini in New York.

According to the New York American
Tulsa Tetrazzini was warmly applauded
when she reappeared at the Manhattan,
in La Traviata," with a new tenor
named John Mccormack, Her entrance
as Violetta was really tumultuous. 1t
stopped the action of the opera for half
a minute, during which her plump and
pleasing face was lit up with one long,
continuous smile After which she re-
turned to the tragic history in which she
was to play so sad and melodious a part.
This applause, in greater or less degree,
was repeated after each of her arias,
and in these she repeated the time
honored but altogether delightful tricks
of carrying high-sustained note while
she toyed with and waved huge fan,
of trilling on high e while STOPPING to
pick up her train, and other charming
little tricks of being innocentiy una
ware that she is performing vocal mar
wells. Mr.. McCormack's voice is a pure
lyric tenor, very much like Bonci's, and
of the same fiexibility. He has it under
admirable control, and should be a VAL
uable member of the Hammerstein
forces when he has become acclimated.
