one by Lincoln, put q little life into the
fray.

on his shoulder and nearly had trouble
several times, but he pulled through on the
top OF the heap each time.
CRdman was hit on his sore foot by a
foul tip but after limpinE around for a
short time bravely continued the game,
although Pa Rourke wanted him TO retire.
In the the third inning with one out
King and Weleh singled, but Kane and
schipke failed 20 deliver the goods. Kane
flew out % WaldFon and Sehipke grounded

The Lincoln players were all on their
metal and made some phenomenal stops
and pickups and catches. Both Gagnier and
Pritchett made some one-hand stops which
robbed the batters Of base hits,
Luck was against Omaha during the first
part OF the game when a little luck would
have yielded some runs In the second
inning. Il one out Sohipke and Pendry
singled. but the rest fell down.. Franck
hit a grounder on which hey advanced a
base. Jones was afraid OF Cadman and
passed him, when Lower came TO bat and
subdued himself by running into the ball
he batted in front OF him.

Omaha, /; Lincoln, g.
Omaha barely escaped a shut out at the
hands Of Schoolmaster Jones out on Pas
lot Tuesday, while on the other hand the
PrOhibitlonists pounded John Lower all
over the lot for twelve hits, which coupled
with five bases on balls and three errors,
netted eight runs. The only run Omaha
made was earned by a tHo-sacker by Kane
and long flies by Schipke and Pendry to
Davidson.
When Pa announced that Lower was to
pitch, the wise fans took II for granted
that another game was stored away in
Pas vest pocket but they reckoned with
out considering the luck Of base ball or
Johnny Jones. Everything contrived to
beat the Rourke tribe ana nothing went
right.
waIdron hit the first ball pitched and
King let It glide gracefully between his
legs and that was the start of the trouble.
Davidson fell down on an attempt at sac
rifice and then Lower hit Jude and passed
Thomas. Gagnier hit to Lower, who held
Dave on third for a moment and then sub
dued Gag at first, but Dave scooted for
home and the Jump said he was safe.
The third was the really bad inning
Of the game, for in that inning Skipper Bill
had his only fielding chance in the game
and he signalized the event by making a
three-base throw, which allowed two
runners to cross the plate. Davidson had
opened with a long two-base fly to right,
which was out Of WEIGHS reach, jude
hit to the pitcher and Dave went to third
Thomas singled and Davidson scored.
Gagnier singled and went to second on

and Schipke made a neat. one-hahoeu

SMALL CHECKS ARE LEGAL.
Treasury Iterprets Old Law and
Sets Doubts at Rest.

The Treasury Department today set
tied the question Of the legality of. draw
ing bank checks below 81 by deciding that
any man who has an account in a bank
can draw on for any size check he
wishes without violating the law.
The following statement was made pub
rc by Assistant Secretary Norton who
recently received appeals from many per-
sons on the subject and who has acted
after having the solicitor Of the Treasury
investigate the law:
There is widespread but entirely need
less concern on the question Of the le-
gality of issuing check for an amount
less than one dollar
1.-The law. about which this question was
raised was passed forty-seven years ago
and has been in force and effect ever
since In 1862, in order to raise funds for
war purposes, this law was passed, plac-
ing hostage stamps in general circulation
as money II was important that this de-
vice should not be ipterfered with by
individuals issuing notes or checks to be
used as fractional currency. A clause
was therefore inserted in the law to pre-
vent this.
"A bank check is an order on a banker
to pay a particular sum OF money. It is
not designed to be put into circulation as
a substitute for money. There is no con-
fiict with this ancient law in issuing
checks for any amount. however small.
This has been the construction placed
upon this law by the Treasury Depart
ment from the passage of the act in 1852
down TO the. present moment.

CANADIAN TARIFF RETALIATION
PR lvINCES TO STRIKE BACK
BECAUSE OF PULP DUTY.
Statement Showing Serious Effect
on American Exports, Issued by
Newspaper Publishers.

NEW YORK, September 2J.-The COM
mittee on paper of the American News
paper Publishers Association yesterday
gave out a statement concerning the i'm
pending trade issues between Canada and
the United States. growing out of the
newly imposed duties on print paper and
pulp wood and the various retaliatory
measures threatened by Canada. The
statement points out the magnitude of
the exports and imports between the
United States and Canada likely to be
affected and says:
AT the outset the Dominion Gained
that IL the American mills wanted to Oh
tain their supply Of pulp wood from
Canada the American papermakers
should not object to reasonable rate of
duty on paper made in Canada from
pulp wood. A committee of the House
of Representatives after months study
of the subject approved Of that view.
which was confirmed and ratified by the
ways and means committee and by the
House Of Representatives Senator Hale
objected to such an ARRANGEMENT, and the
United States Senate, to please him, up
set it and raised the rate above that
passed by the House. The provinces of
Canada now declare that since the United
States has refused to admit print paper
upon reasonable terms they will protect
Canadian interests by meeting retaliation
with retaliation and will force many of
the American print paper mills to move
to Canada.
Canadian retaliation will strike Ameri-
can exports as varied as coal and cotton,
iron and meat. fruits and automobiles, oil
and live stock. But the most serious
feature of the prospective war is that
