WHY O'ROURKE OBJECTS

'fNo member of organized baseball will be allowed to play with or against any team in this city, said Manager O'Rourke this morning. "as it is a violation of my territorial rights. desire to see the players protected. and will not stand for any violation of the rules of the National agreement
 This means that Manager ORourke will object to the playing of any of the Connecticut leaguers on the All Star aggregation against the Yost team. This follows up the previous action taken by Manager Jim in the proposed West End-Bridgeport con test. This was objected to more so on the ground that the West Ends har- bored a so@called outlaw. Should any of the Bridgeport players partic pate in a contest against the player in question it would have been severe

This year she made 8 bid for bigger company and in order to get a berth in the Central Association guaranteed 50,00G. She made good. Her hopes for the rag did not go glimmering un- til the last day of the race, when Bur lington winning one game out of a double header with Quincy, cinched the coveted rag. It is said that not another city this size in the United States showed such an attendance. The attendance this year is two and a half paid admissions for each person in Hannibal.
 Arrangements are now under way in Hartford to have the New York and Boston Americans play a game in the Capitol city at the close of the American league season. Hartford fans will be given a chance to see four former Senators in action, Fish CT, Wilson, Gardner and Warmer.
 Though the New York Americans haven't a look-in at the pennant in that league. they will probably decide Where the pennant is to fly. The Yankees by their double win yester- day over the White Sox. proved that they are garrison fnishers They have been playing splendid bali for the past two weeks and they are confident they will be able to take the series from the Tigers. who open here this afternoon. weather permitting. Connie Macks Philadelphia Americans are but 17 points behind the Tigers and are mak- ing a game effort to wrest the flag from the westerners. Jennings wants to defeat the Yankees in this series both to hold his lead in the league race and to make up for the past defeats he has suffered sin New York. The sentiment, in New York is all for the Athletics although the fans are pray ing that the Yankees can keep up their grand ball playing and put it all over the Tigers in this series.

The rules of the National agreement are very stringent in this particular.

TWO FRIENDS.

AT times the average editor gets
discouraged in his work. He labors
all day to issue the best paper his
own capacity and the capacity of
his plant will allow and within an
hour or so after the press stops run
ming, his work is dead and he must
begin again for the next days labor.
It seems, an endless task with little
good resulting. Ns
Your readers seldom think to say
kindly word. You must rest salts
fed because you have heard no
"kicks-D For if anything is wrong,
you immediately hear from the man
affected.
We appreciated, therefore, the lit
tie squib in Mr.. w. ]. Lampton's
letter published in Thursdays News
in which he said, "The News is a
blamed sight better paper than l
thought Winchester was equal to-"
Mr.. Hampton is an old newspaper
man and word from him is worth
something.

ceived the, following letter from Prof.

lege which puts new heart into our

THE STANDARD OIL CASE.

The collapse of the Government 5
ease. against the Standard Oil for ac-
cepting rebates, which was on trial
before Judge Anderson, will cause
general disappointment. When the
most powerful and unpopular trust
In the country was convicted in Judge
Landis's court the public was led to
believe that at last justice had over
taken a corporation notorious for its
illicit business methods and politi-
cal influence. The setting aside of
the $29,000,0OO fine by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals was
a grave setback. As it proved now
by the outcome of the second trial,
the Governments case was defective.
What course the Government will
pursue with the indictments still
pending is not announced. If the
Administration believes that it can
prosecute them with success, no
doubt it will press them. But there
is no denying that the moral effect
of the attack on the Standard Oil
has suffered by its successive fail
ures.
In spite of this disastrous defeat,
the fight against rebating will pre-
vail. The large number of offenders
convicted among shippers and rail
roads remains warning that NJ
interest is. safe if it ventures to make
light of the law.

TRAINS HEAVY GUNS
ON THE PROSECUTION
Judge Anderson Argues In De-
Tense Of Colonel Cooper.

Nashville, Tenn, March 10. - The
16-inch gun of the defense's batteries
was trained upon the state with tell
ing effect when Judge Anderson be-
gan his argument in the trial of Coz.
onel ID. b. and Robin ]. Cooper and
John Sharp for the murder of Former
Senator f. w. Carmack.
Judge Anderson, who is considered
the ablest criminal lawer in the state,
is chief counsel for the defense. An
derson is not a dramatic orator. He
adopts no theatrical devices. He does
not speak in metaphors nor indulge
in sentimental appeals Only once
did he refer to Colonel Cooper as ''the
old soldier" and not once did he ap-
peal to the sympathies of the jurors.
He boldly disclaimed any idea Of
pleading that any editorial or speech
and declared that his clients case
rested solidly and alone upon the first
law implanted in human beings-the
law of self-preservation.
1.-The law gave them this right"
he declared, whether Colonel Cooper
had threatened Carmack's life or not
And even il Robin Cooper had gone
over there and struck Senator Car
mack in the face with his open hand
he would have had legal and moral
right to have killed him If the senator
had attempted to draw a revolver"
Judge Anderson declared that this
was the law, that he quoted it merely
to show how strongly the courts pro-
tect the right of self-defense and to
make manifest Robin Cooper's reluc-
lance to shoot until he himself had
been shot.

WATER SUPPLIES MfNAC[D
Government May Deny Cities Right to
Pump From Ohio 7Iver.


Pittsburg. March 13.-That the tax
ing of municipal water supplies from
the Ohio river may affect the stage
of the water so as to impede naviga-
ton, especially in the low water
periods, is apparently the view of the
United States engineers. Major Hen
ry c. Newcomer of the United States
engineers has begun the securing of
data showing the amount of water
taken from the river at various points
through municipal water plants.
Should IT be proven by the statistics
that the use Of the river is interrupt
ed by the pumping of water to supply
cities, a serious question as to the
right to use water from the Ohio riv-
er and the method of supplying water
for the use of persons in cities would
arise.
