Cleveland. o., Aug. 1S.-Napoleon
Lajoie voluntarily rendered his resig-
nation as manager Of the Cleveland
American league base ball team, to
take effect as soon as a successor can
be appointed by the directors of the
team. Lajoie will continue to play
with the team.
Laioie's resignation is due to the
large amount Of criticism he has been
subjected to on account of his fail.
ure to make a better showing with
the team this year. Runners Of dis
senslon among the players on account
of Lajoie's alleged personal unpopu-
larity have been rife. This, coupled
with the teams losing streak on the
last eastern trip, caused many patrons
of the game to demand his resigna-
ton. The club owners defended La
joie. No ~ces for Lajoie has
been appointed. and the club owners
say they are undecided as to whom
they will appoint.

GREEK FLAG SHOT DOWN
Protecting Powers Take Drastic Ac'
ton In Island of Crete.

Canea, Island OF Crete, Aug. ia
well directed shot fired by one OF the
parties of bluejackets landed from the
international squadron anchored In
Canea harbor brought down the flag
staff of the Canea feet, and with 1t the
Greek flag that has threatened to
bring about war between Turkey and
Greece.
A combined landing party, composed
of detachments from the ships of the
four protecting powers. was sent
ashore before sunrise, and the task
of removing the Hellenic emblem was
carried u in a few minutes without
any attempt at interference on the
part OF the islanders.
Most of the bluejackets then return
ed to their ships. but small detach-
ments representing each OF the -four
powers were left behind in occupa'
ton of the bastion Of the fortress to
prevent any attempt on the part OF
the Cretans to raise another flag.
Cretan gendarmes have been posted
throughout Canea to maintain order.
This action means that the protecting
powers have returned to the island,
and the situation is again much as II
was before July 81.

Fire Loss, Sl,250,00O.

Glasgow, Scotland. Aug. 1S.-Ffre
destroyed a big portion of the indus
trial centre, doing considerable dam
age to the mercantile district and en-
failing a loss of 81. ESQ, 600.
The fire was one of the worst which
has visited the city in many decades,
and the firemen were powerless for a
long time in the sweep of the devas-
tating rush Of flames. The central
fire station vas threatened, and many
dry goods warehouses wiped out. The
loss from merchandise destroyed may
greatly augment the first estimate OF
damage.
The fire broke out In the industrial
district. The entire f~ire-nghting de-
partment of the city was called out
and it was soon seen that they were
unable to cope with the situation.
Orders were given for those living
nearby to evacuate their homes. Panic
followed this order, and while many
tumbled their household goods from
windows, women and children ran
through the streets screaming, and
the police had hard work to hold back
the throngs OF excited men.
Swiftly the ccnfagration gained
Roadway. and began eating its way In.
to the district filed with ~storehouses
and mercantile establishments. On &C.
count Of the great quantity OF com
bustible material in ths warehouses
and dry goods shops, 1t was feared
for q time that the entire city would
be wiped out. 1t Is estimated that fully
500 people are homeless In the tene-
ment district.

CONFESsES TO
COUSINS MURDER
Maryland Mau BrutdlIy Slain In
Quarrel Over Whisky.
BODY FOUND IN LONELY CABIN

Murderer Was Sweater BY BaIt-
more Detectives, to Whom He Ad-
rnitted the crIme-Dead Man Had
Eeen Missing For Nearly a Month.
Baltimore, Aug. 18.-Oliver Herman
Harris, who some days ago acknowl-
edged having murderously assaulted
his aunt, Mrs. Clara Harris, confessed
that on July % he had murdered his
cousin, Henson Poole, whose terribly
decomposed body was found on Sat
urday afternoon in a closet in the
little cabin in which he lived alone,
near Rockville, Montgomery county.
The confession, which followed two
hours sweating" by Baltimore detec-
tives. Harris having been borught here
largely for that purpose. It is said,
was taken down by a st~enographer.
and a typewriter copy Of 1t was sign
ed by Harris, who broke down when
told that his finger prints. taken in
the police Bertillon bureau here. were
like those made in blood ON the door
way of the closet In which Poole's
body was found. In 1t he says that
he went to Poole's cabin about 3 a.
M, July %, to buy some whisky, and
that a quarrel arose over the ques-
ton whether he or Poole should put
water in the liquor. The confession
continues:
He came toward me and I knocked
him down. When he got up he grabbed
for the rifle. | then grabbed the rife
and shot him and hit him with a ham
mer. I did not want him to make any
noise and draw a crowd. 7 shot him
twice mor while he was on the mat
tress. then dragged him to the closet
and shut he door"
Harris further said that he took two
quarts of whisky and $52 in money
which Poole had, together with his
keys and went away. Subsequently. he
went to a fair at Rockville and to
Washington. where the money taken
from Poole was spent.
Poole not having been seen for
about three weeks, his father became
uneasy, and on Saturday began the

the body of his son in his home, the
door OF which had to be forced to Sc
cure entrance.
While the stolen money lasted Har-
ris seemed to have given no thought
TO the possible consequences Of the
crime. Finally realizing something of
his position, however, and needing
money with which to get away from
the neighborhood, his thoughts turned
to his aunt, Mrs. Clara Harris. He.
knew that she usually kept some
money at her home, but took It with
her whenever she left there. Sending
her word that a relative was i'll and
needed her, Harris waylaid her In the
field and almost killed her. Robbery
alone was the motive Of this crime.
Harris says. Mrs. Harris vas shot
and beaten very much as was Poole.
This, and the fact that Harris ap
peared to have been the last person
to see Poole alive. threw upon him
the suspicion which brought out his
confession.

DROWNED IN
NIAGARA RAPIDS
Youth Loses Life After a Brave
Struggle In Whirlpool.
FAILED TO HEED WARNING CRY

august sporer Had Gone In Swimming
Above the Rapids and Was Caught
In the Swift Current Where Cap
cain Webb, the English Swimmer,
Lost His Life.
Niagara Falls, N. Y. Aug. 17-Au-
gust Sporer an eighteen-year-old boy
of this city. went to his death in the
whirlpool rapids after a gallant bat
tie with the giant waves between the
lower bridges and the pool.
With three companions, Sporer went
Cor a swim in the river at the former
Maid of the Mist landing. He struck
out at nee for the middle OF the
stream and then turned toward the
bridge. His companions called to him
TO turn back, for the current is very
swift at that point. but he kept on
down stream and was caught in the
great sweep, the first break from the
smoother waters to the rapids.
The boy struggled for a time against
Che current, but to no avail. Then,
realizing that he was beyond human
help and was to be carried through
the rapids, which took the life Of Cap
tain Webb, and which have resisted
every unaided human effort at pass
& he deliberately turned down
stream and began a grim fight for
life.
Not IN all the history Of the river
IA such a brave effort been witness
I'd. Although but a fraiI boy, he went
anto the rapids, swimming strongly.
and held his own until he struck the
giant wave which curls up opposite
the old battery elevator. Then he
went under, and for a second was lost
to sight of the score of people who
-stood on the lower arch bridge.
Again and again he disappeared, only
TO reappear, each time fighting desper-
ately against the terrible current.
Then, when within 800 yards of the
whirlpool. his strength gave out and
he sank and was lost to view. Even
then he had swan perhaps 100 yards
farther than did the great English
.swimmer, Captain Webb.
The body can now be seen In the
whirlpool, where river men are await

shore far enough to be recovered.

MIMIC ARMY IN
FIERCE BATTLE
Entire Left Wing Of The Blues
Forced to Retreat
GREAT BATTLE NOW IMMINENT

Forces Under General Pew Were Ham
mered Numerically, Being Driven
Back a Distance Of Five Miles, and
Losing One Battery ard a Wagon
Train.
Boston, Aug. 19@General Tasksr
Fl. Bliss and his invading army OF Red
rested last night at least five miles
nearer Boston than they were Wed
nesday, as a result OF the operations
In the mimic war game. The extreme
left Of the Massachusetts, army Of de-
Tense, known as the Blues, under com.
mand OF Brigaater General william
A Pew, was hammered numerically,
SO that the entire left wing was forced
TO retreat, and Ia addition the Blues
suffered the loss OF one battery and a
wagon train.
Far superior IN actual Numbers and
In cavalry, the Red force swept down
upon the Blues left and drove first
into n position and then another
with irresistible fore. For the past
three days General Bliss has moved
his army in three divisions massed.
with the full strength of his cavalry
on his left flank. In ether words, the
flying squadron has been between his
infantry strength and the Blue arm,
and an ~invinciIle strength it proved
to be, with the experienced Tenth
colored cavalry TO infuse life and pur-
pose into the volunteer cavaIrymen
from the District of Columbia and New
York.
While the days lighting forced Gen
eral Pew TO retreat and move his dt
vision headquarters from Robins
pond back to south Henson, the en-
gagement was regarded as merely a
preliminary to a greater battle which
will be fought probably today. Indica,
lions are that the centre of this en-
gagement will be somewhere In the
vicinity OF Indian Head pond, in the
town of Renson.
General Pew ~endsavored 10 o
his right wing, the First brigade. by a
r~etrograds movement from It's posi-
ton in and around Brfdgewater to a
point east OF south Henson, thsre to
reinforce the Second brigade on the
left wing, which was facing the entire
Red army Forced marches were made
during thsr entire morning, but when
fighting ceased they had not arrived
In sufficient numbers 10 be Of any as
sistance.
While General Pew was making this
endeavor, General Bliss changed his
tactics and, forming his entire army
In one long single column, with the
cavalry well on his left flank, drove
straight for the Blues extreme left.
The forces met at north PTymptOn.
where this Blues had only the Fifth
regiment, part Of the First Corps Of
Cadets and Battery B. Although the
comparatively smalii force of the Blues
made a bold stand, they were finally
forced to- retreat By reason Of super
Tor numbers.

REAL WHITE WINGS HERE
Ohio Town Has a Flock Of Ducks As
Street Cleaners.

Bsllefontaine. o.. Aug. 1S.-The
white wings of the town Of Lakeview,
near here, are literally white wings.
They're ducks. Recently the finances
of the village fell to such a low ebb
that 1t was impossible to longer EN-
ploy a street sweeping service, so that
1t was dispensed with. There remain
ed a small sum in the treasury. One
of the alderman proposed that the
money be invested in a flock of ducks,
which would go through the streets
and eat the rubbish.
Lean ducks were bought and turned
loose. They started in at n end of
the town early in the morning, and
made their way to the other end,
when they were turned backward or
shifted to another street.
