II Justice Teagan's verdict is rav.
orable to the plaintiff In the case OF
Thomas Davidson against the Grand
Trunk railway, the latter Will soon
find itself defending about 30 cases Of
q similar character.
The case IL an echo Of their recent
strike which for weeks tied up traffic
on the Grand Trunk. Davidson was
one Of the specials" hired to guard
the property of the company In
Durand, and he claims he was not
paid for the overtime he put In. He
sues for 20 and one-half days pay at
the rate of $3.50. Davidson says he
put In from IL to IS hours every day
and once worked for SO consecutive
hous.
The company claims that Davidson
and all the other men, were hired at
$3.50 per day and nothing was said
about hours. The men we're sup
posed to be on duty when there was
anything to do, a company's repre-.
sentative testified, and they were to
yet $3.50 per day. whether the day
was 10 hours or 20.

MUCH MYSTERY IN
SHOOTING OF CHILD
Little Girl Gets Bullet in Head in
Cobbler's Shop; Proprietor, Ar
rested, Says Hes Innocent.

Louis Greenberg. an aged cobbler,
whose shop IN ut No. TIC st. Antoine
St, occupied a cell in the central po-
lice station and spends the greater
part OF his time entering q strenuous
denial that he shot Selda Harris. six
years old. the daughter OF Max Har-
ris, No. 702 st. Antoine-st.
Selda tosses restlessly on bed In
Harper hospital and tells many
strange stories about how she came
to receive a wound In the left temple
In the cobbler's shop, Monday eve-
ming. She says sometimes that Green
berg shot her. She has told this
story to the police.
The cobbler says the girl shot her
self accidentally. Capt. Mcdonnell,
who has confiscated the revolver, de-
clares 1t an impossibility for a child
of such tender years to pull the t-:g-
ger and an examination Of the little
weapon bears him out. The spring
IL very hard and the trigger pulls
with such resistance that 1t requires
some effort even on the part OF q
grown person to spring 1t.
IF I shot that little girl, whether
II was intentional or accidental. |
would be willing to spend 20 years
in prison." declares Greenberg
vehemently.
Little Selda ran home to her moth.
er,'n Monday q. evening. with blood
streaming stlUWn~her face. She told
her she had fallen down. A doctor
came and sewed up the wound. Later,
the police, who were investigating
the rumor that there had been a
shooting In the neighborhood. found
Selda and forced her to admit that
she had been shot. The wound was
reopened In the hospital and the
bullet extracted.
H. Grenberg did shoot Selda, the
absolute lack of his motive for doing
so IL the mystifying feature. The girl
will tell nothing. The man insists
he did not do It. The girl shows no
evidence of having been abused. De
tectives are still at work trying to
unravel the mystery.
Greenberg has 10 children and
bears an excellent reputation in his
neighborhood.

ST. PAUL'S OBJECTED TO PLAYING WITH DIRECTOR
 OF LEAGUE AS REFEREE

The St. Paul Basketball team has withdrawn from the City Basketball League because of alleged unfair treat ment on the part of the director of the league who insists upon officiating as referee in games which are played following communication from Man ager Jowett of the St. Paul team will probably put that club in 8 much fairer light before the public:
 Editor Farmers .
 Dear Sir:-An insertion in a Sunday paper relative to the "cold feet" in evidence by the withdrawal of St. Paul's club from the City League prompts us to write true descr1p- tion of the affair.
 Our showing in the league could scarcely be decided by the single game which we played, and the action of the league in pretending to debar it's teams from playing us, shows clearly that we are considered no mean opponents. The reasons for our withdrawal, how ever, are mainly as follows:
 Perhaps first, that MT. C. Taylor, the Boys Club physical director, di- rects the league and insists upon of ficiating as referee in games which are played vs. the Boys Club team. (Note Rule VI, Section 1, Spalding B. B. G.) St. Paul's club believes. that its fol- iOW1uS HdlllS lO Sc6 HIT --OaSASLOdu with a cool headed referee who wouldn't lower himself to use profan- ity on the floor as did Referee Taylor in our last game played there.
 Then, too,- the article shows the true calibre of the league when it states that ''the game nearly ended in a free for-all fight When people go to see fair basketball, fights are superfluous. and persons who enjoy fair ball are disgusted with "free-for-alP' fight ing. ,<
 Our team will continue to play teams of the best calibre throughout the State, and will give it's following an exhibition of fast, clean basketball with fair officials. and in any place where conditions are favorable to the game
 Cold feet'' is something unknown to men of St. Paul's feeling and charac- ter, but indignatio against unfair treatment in the Park City League could only have been expressed by withdrawal, for when the St. Paurs manager mentioned it after the game, he was grossly insulted.
 Knowing that our friends never doubted our good Judgment in with drawing, we remain still before the public
 Respectfully,
 HAROLD JOwETT, Manager St. PauPs Basketball Team,
 City.

MINOR LEAGUES MAY BE REClASSIFIED ACCORDING
 TO THE CENSUS OF 1910
Pitcher Jack CrOnin's Claim Against Bridgeport Team Dis allowed Because He Did Not Sign Contract

Chicago. Nov. 15-Though no official action has yet been taken by the Ma. tion Arbitration Board of the Ma tional Association of Professional Baseball leagues now in session, in regard to the re-cla ssification of the that are below the required popula- tion are very nervous for fear they will be dropped into a class lower than they are now occupying. By a former decision of the association it was agreed that every ten years. or following the announcing. of the cen sus reports, a re-classification should be made regulating the drafting and sale opportunities. League territories populated by 1000 900 or more persons could be in Class A, those of 100000 or more in Class B. etc. According to the 1910 census some. of the leagues will fall out of the class they now occupy. Those leagues are relying on various bases to hold their positions. The Western league is below Class A, it's present class, but that organiza- ton ten years ago. received a promise that for it's sacrifices to the Ameri- can Association it should retain it's class. The Three I league. below Class B, it's present rating claims that a clubs radius covers five miles and that thereby it could muster 100000.
 There is no fear that the Connec- D, its present rating. The combined pop ulation of the eight cities represented is about 100000.
 >When it comes to applying the clas- sification rule, it is expected that it will be applied in the cases of those leagues desriring to go higher.
 The Board of Arbitration in it's meet ing passed upon only a few cases as follows:
 Pitcher Jack Cronins plea for five days pay from the Bridgeport, Conn.,, team of the Connecticut league was disallowed. Cronin did not sign a contract with the Bridgeport team, and therefore could not collect. He was released from the Providence Club of the Eastern league and was picked up by Manager Gene McCann of the Bridgeport team. He pitched but one game for that team and then went to Buffalo of the Eastern league. McCann of the Bridgeport team made fight to the National Commission for Cronin's services, but lost out, as Crontn had not signed a contract
 The claim of Clarence Pop Foster against the Holyoke club of the Con- necticut league for $500. salary was allowed. Player Kiernan of the Wa terbury club of the Connecticut league made application to be freed from his contract which was granted.

AGAIN THE RUMOR OF HARVARD AND
 PRINCETON GAME

Although much secrecy is being thrown about the matter, it is known that an agreement is to be signed this week whereby those ancient enemies Harvard and Princeton, are to meet again upon the football field begin- ming next year.
 The Alumni Athletic Committee at Princeton, is almost a unit in favor of the pCoject and an equally strong sentiment has appeared at Cam bridge. Sport lovers throughout the country especially that vast army that remains true to football no matter how much it may be changed or reformed" will be delighted at this intelligence be- cause by this move the question of supremacy among Harvard, Yale and Princeton will each year be finally settled. And in this settlement is in- cluded as a general proposition the football championship of America-if there be such a title-for in one of these three colleges there is usually to be found the team that the maj jOr- ity of experts, East and West, acclaim as the best. -+. --- --s- .--~
 Harvard and Princeton have not played since 1896, so it will be fifteen years next fall since the last Grim son team went against the Tiger.
 They played in 1895, but before that they had not met for six years. The games of '9o and '9S were filters for Harvard, for those were the two years in which relations with Yale were sus- pended following the '94 game at Hampden Park, Springfield. Mass. when Yale, winning by score of 1920. was accused of unnecessary roughness.
 In '97 when Harvard again played with Yale, Princeton was not on her schedule, although she had dropped the University of Pennsylvania This left her with but one Dig game, as neither the Cornell team nor the Dart mouth eleven really succeeded to Pennsylvania's or Princeton's place, although each year has seen Dart mouth more and more of a dangerous rival.
 Princeton, too, was left with but one real game on her programme, that with Yale. Friends of both universities have been trying to get the teams together again, but until this year they have been unsuccessful.

For the Woman That's Fat

A Detroit physician says that the cheapest and safest mixture a fat woman who wants to get thin can use is F ounce Marmola (get it in the original F -ounce package), F ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Arc matic and 31a ounces Peppermint Water. The. proper amount to tIke is a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. t-
 These ingredients may be obtained from any druggist at. small cost, and make a combination that is not only excellent as a fat reducer, being able. it is claimed, to take off a pound a day without causing wrinkles, but is also a splendid help to the system as whole, regulating the stomach and bowels (where the fat persons trou- bles begin), and clearing the skin of pimples and blotches No exercise is required to help the remedy in it's work and, best of all, no dieting is necessary while taking it-you can eat what you like.
