MAYOR ROSE TALKS
 ON PROHIBITION

Peoria. H., May 0.-Arguing along the lines that prohibition does not prohibit, Mayor David s. Rose of Milwaukee, met Dan R. Sheen before 2o00 people at the Coliseum here tonight on the negative side of the question:
 Resolved. That Prohibition as Applied to the Manufacture and Sale of Intox- icating Beverages is Right"
 The local advocate of cold walter opened the debate with address of one hour He urged the protection of the homes. of the schools, of the churches and of the rising generation, against the evils of the liquor traffic. Half of the crim- inals in the penitentiares. he said. were stimulants
 The Almighty established prohibition first in the Garden of Eden, the speak CT maintained, when Adam was prohibited from eating an apple.
 Since that time prohibtory legislat tion had been passed and had been more or less effective.
 Mayor Rose urged that the Almightys s mandate regarding the apple did not pro- hibit Adam from eating and argued that since that time the laws against the use of intoxicating beverages had been no more successful The Milwsukean quoted scripture in support of the theory that Noah had been drunkard after leaving the ark; that the Savior drank wine as a beverage and that down through the succeeding ages wine had been manufactured and had been drunk
 He referred at great length to the fail ure of the army canteen bill and in this connection said:
 You can never legislate men into nor ality and this whole question of tenn perance and of prohibition is moral question"

STEAMER STILL
 WEDGED IN |CE Attempts To Rescue The Vessel Have Proved FruitIeSS ANXIOUS NIGHT IS SPENT Little Steamer Prospero Goes Out To Help Pull MoneolIan Out of the
 Ice and Is Itself Stuck
 in the Ice.
ANXIOUS NIGHT IS SPENT

St. Johns. Newfoundland. May 20.-Not- withstanding efforts to assist her, the Al len line steamer Mongolian. which has been wedged in an ide pack off the mouth of this harbor since yesterday, was still imprisoned tonight. It is thought an attempt by the stout sealing steamer Diana to open up a lane between the Mongolian and the narrow harbor open ing will be successful tomorrow.
 The experience of five passengers of the Mongoian who today successfully crossed the ice field between the liner and shore assured the others that a ready and fairly safe avenue of escape was available. Tonight those on the Mon- eolian were able to see the lights of the steamer Diana, which lay mile of.
 Owing to the steady southward trend of the Labradorian current the Mongo- Han tonight was a considerable distance further from the entrance to the harbor than she was last night. On all sides of the steamer stretched an almost compact covering of lee.
 The limits of the great ice field could not be seen from the summit of the high est hill on the coast. but extended to the horizon Off shore the bergs could be seen grinding and turning the Labra- dorian current pushed them constantly to the southward
 The night on board the Mongolian was an anxious one. despite the assurances of the officers that the shore could be reached easily, and that ample warning
 would be given if the stout side of the steamer showed signs of being unable to withstand the pressure of the ice. The
 passengers displayed admirable patience.
 Fishermen and many other parties from the city journeyed out over the field dur
 Ing the early morning, and many mes sages were sent on shore.
 To those who visited the Mongolian,
 many of the passengers recounted how
 the ice pack bore down the steam CT yesterday as she neared the coast, until hemmed on every side. further pro-
 gress was completely stopped. Then came the effort of the little steamer Prospero to break through the ice at the harbor's entrance and open lane for the larger steamer Many of the pas- sengers bound 10 Halifax and Philadel- phia on the Mongolian thought that the Prospero would at least reach them and perhaps enable them to land. and there was much disappointment when the Ice pack was seen to gather steadily around the little steamer, until she also sue cumbed to its mighty power.
 The two steamers lay In practically the same position throughout the night. | nere was some movement of the big bergs as the tide rose and fell, and the weight of the great ocean current sweeping along shore from the north extended in shore
 During the forenoon 1t was noticed that the ice was tanning up bit on the

and the most painful thing about
it all is that Billy Stevens. who
was banished from the Spokane
tepee three weeks ago for dis
obedience of Chief Browns rules,

Billy hoped on Killilay and
gave him his bumps with just as
much vengeance as any of the
other Tigers, and he only joined
the outfit yesterday. He scored one
and did other damgae.
1t all came to pass in the second
inning, only it didn't pass-just
whirled like a cyclone. The Tigers
sprung their attack from all sides
of Killilay and when Jack couldn't

the crackle of bats had died away
and the dust settled, a half dozen

for Spokane. Annis got nervous

out after the bases were all popu-

but forced in a run and gave Dode

other two scores for Spokane.

base occupied by the man who
had left second.
Also the catcher had thrown the
ball to the third baseman and he
took after the runner, who again
headed for the plate. The third
baseman was a sprinter and he
overlook the runner within 10 feet
of the plate and put the ball upon
him, just as the man who had been
on second ran past him and
crossed the plate In safety.
So interested were the infielders

CATS, 6-3 SCORE

Casey's Colts corralled the
Black Cats and beat them 6 to 3
on the Portland grounds yesterday.
The whole defeat of the Aberdeen
team is charged up to poor Pernoll.
Pernoll it is claimed, could hit the
Portlanders' bats about every time
he was in a pinch and then help
ed them some more along the road
to victory with his errors. He is
credited with a total of four mis-
hobbies out of the six that were
made by Casey's bunch.
Seaton pitched for Portland and
was hit enough to win an ordinary
game. Aberdeen's fielding was
good, while that of the Portland
team was a little shabby.

old NATIONALS WIN CUP

In hard fought contest that de-
cides the winner of the Bankers
league cup, the Old National bank
team won from the Facilities yes
terday. The score was II to 10.
This game easily established
lead for the Old Nationals that
cannot be beaten in the final game
here next Saturday. The Old Ma
tionals are clearly the ones to claim
the cup this season. The game
was wierd because Of errors and
wildness by both pitchers, but ex-
citing because of the heated strug-
gle by both teams to win.
Codd of the Old Nationals made
errors that let in four of the Fidel-
itys runs, and came near throwing
the game away. The Old National
won only by terrific stick work at
times when Rotchford, the oppos-
ing teams pitcher, was unable to
control balls.
