Manager Duffy. OF the White Sox,
carried away very poor idea OF the
Tigers after that seven-game series,
He is telling them in the east that
Cobb and Crawford are the only two
men TO stop TO defeat the TigerA
This Ia laugh He adds, more per-
tlnently, that the foolish work on
the bags loses the Tigers many runs.
Duffy admits that he took Blackburn
out OF the game temporarily because
the youngster had lost his nerve from
the remarks of the fans. He might
put ear-muffs on him.
Amos Strunk is being given credit
for great deal of the Improvement
shown by the Athletics. He is great
| fielder and admittedly fast on the
bases but has just learned to hit EN-
/ out. In the last few games he has
! been batting like Lajoie and cutting
of hits by fast sprinting in the out
field.

Foreman, who used 10 be one or the

Foreman was not only great pitcher
but a coacher of fame. His son re

Mack hopes he will show the same
ability
Recent baseball history has not
worked out that way. There was
young ORourke, who played for a
while with New York Americans but
could never climb to his dads place
in the major leagues. Also, We have

of an old player, to make good with
the Tigers.

BIG BOYCOTT FIGHT BEGUN
Buck Stove and Range Company of
ST. Louis Files Brief in Injunc-

Observation-Disclosures the greatest

neys for the Bucks Stove and Range
company of St Louis filed its side
of the famous controversy over the

was an outline of the arguments to be
presented orally at that time. The
brief for the American Federation of
Labor. which objected to any injunc-
ton in the case, has not been filed.
The supreme court of the District
of Columbia issued broad injunction
against the American Federation to
prevent it from boycotting the Bucks
Stove and Range company, which IVES
charged with operating an open"
shop. The court of appeals of the dis
trict modified the decree of the lower
court. 1t was this modification tfat
formed the basis of the argument pre-
scented to the court.

MUST HAVE BEEN REAL JOKE
Judging by the Way Fate Seemed
Determined Mrs. DRESSER Should
Not Tell 1t.

What's the trouble?" asked DIR.

jumped down from an ambulance In
front of tenement house.

ment of Mrs. Caroline Dressler, who
possesses a sense of humor.
DR.. Touart found Mrs. Dressler sur
rounded by sympathetic friends, who
were striving to put back in place a
Jaw that obviously needed adjusting.
Mrs. DRESSER was in great pain
Here, come away from there" said
the physician.
Mrs. Dressler's anxious friends fell
back abashed. She was telling a
joke and laughed" explained one.
And then her jaw stuck" added
another.
And she can't tell the joke till her
jaws fixed" added third; and then
silence fell upon that room, while
those who had spoken waited expect
antly. 1t was clear that that joke
would never get out of the room alive.
DIR. Touart worked steadily at the
jaw for few minutes, then there was
click, and Mrs. DRESSER was able to
work it up and down and sideways
with little effort
That seems to be all right" she
said at length. A relieved murmur
went through the room; then there
was silence, as every one leaned for
ward. -
The joke" said a voice from the
rear. Let her tell the joke"
20, it was such funny joke" cried
Mrs. Dressler. You know. Ho. ha.
"Haw-haw-haw! Ho-hO-hO!" interrupt
ed Mrs. Dressler's friends. Then Mrs.
Dressler suddenly ended the concert
by giving a shrek Of pain and falling
from her chair

up! She's dislocated her jaw again"

Why a Cat Falls on Its Feet.

A scientist has constructed an inge-
NOUS model to show why cat in fall
Ing invariably alights on its feet. This
model, roughly speaking, consists Of a
cardboard cylinder wherein are stuck
four rods to serve for legs. together
with a tail devised on similar princi-
pies. The object of the experiment
Is to show that felines peculiar fac
ulty depends on the rotation of its tail
with sufficient vigOr
This faculty is specially developed
by climbing and leaping animals, such
as members of the cat tribe, monkeys,
squirrels, rats and most lemurs AS
already stated, the tail plays an i'm
portant part In the turning process
According to the Investigator all tree
inhabiting monkeys have long tails,
and there Is not the slightest doubt
that these tails are of great aid to
all climbers in enabling them to turn
In the air The tail also serves as a
balancer, as evidenced in the case of
a squirrel, which may be seen walking
along a tightly stretched wire or
string, swinging its tail from side to
side, much after the manner of tight
rope walker balancing himself with q

IS CHILLED
LEGISLATOR ACCUSED OF OFFER
ING BRIBE.TEsTlFIES BEFORE
SENATE COMMITTEE.
MAKES A GENERAL DENIAL
Declares Speaker of Illinois House
Asked Him to Get Democratic
Members to Vote for lorimer-
Broderick Disclaims Bribery.

Chicago.-Lee O'Neil Browne, M
nority leader in the Forty-sixth gen
eral assembly, took the witness stand
before the senatorial investigating
committee Thursday and told a story
with sensational aspects. Among
these was a declaration that Edward
Shurtleff, speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, was the dictator OF the
plan to elect William Lorimer United
States senator.
The minority leader began his tes-
timony with disputing evidence gwen
by legislators who accuse him OF brl-
berry. He denied sending for Repre-
sentative Charles A. White to come
to his (Browne's) hotel room on May
rs, 1909, the night before Mr.. Lori
mey's election.
Browne testified that about three
weeks before Lorimer's election
Speaker Shurtleff came to him and
asked him whether he could get the
BOYS to vote for Lorimer," meaning
Brownies friends.
Browne said he told Shurtleff he
didn't know and had not at that time
made up his mind to support Lorimer.
Browne acknowledged being in St.
Louis June Fl. He said he met Shep-
hard, Link, Beckemeyer and Luke,
and thought he met Clark. They were
called to meet him through the agen-
cy of others, he said. to discuss his
political future and his probable can
didacy for minority leader.
Did you ever pay Link or Becke-
meyer $1,000?" asked Attorney Aus
trian
mo"
Browne either denied all the
charges of bribery or evaded by an
swering 81 don't remember"
Absolute denial of payment of
$4,000 or any other sum to State Sen
legislator i'll connection with the cleo
ton of Lorimer was made by State
Senator John Broderick.
Frederick underwent grilling
ross-examination, but remained I'M
SHAKEN. The prosecution finally dis
missed him after futile attempts to
impeach his testimony.
Frederick stubbornly repealed all at
tempts to cause him to commit him
self. He denied that he ever received
any money for his own vote; all
knowledge of the use of money in the
election of Lorimer or that he ever
dealt out Jackpot to the members
of the senate, including Holstlaw.
He admitted having met Holstlaw
in his saloon on the West side about
June 16, 1909. Asked if he had writ
ten Holstlaw to come to Chicago, the
witness refused to answer on the
ground that he might be giving testi-
mony against himself
Representative John Griffin of Chi
cago, who followed Broderick, denied
that he had solicited Representative
Henry Terrill's vote for Lorimer ON
a promise of money, or offered any
other legislator money for his vote.
Terrill had testified that Griffin had
said there would be $1,000 in it."

PEACE OFFER FAILS
ARMED MEN CAMP AROUND
HOMESTEAD OF OUTLAW
JOHN DIETZ.
WILL FIGHT TO LAST DITCH
Master of Cameron Dam Refuses to
Surrender Except to Governor OF
Wisconsin and Defies Overtures of
Attorney General.

Winter Wis. - John DietZ has
refused to surrender to anyone but
the governor of the state of Wis
consin and has emphatically declared
himself to this edict to ]. M. Froelich,
the st. Paul envoy, who went to inter
cede in his behalf to avoid bloodshed.
To the attorney general of Wiscon-
sin and the secretary Of the governor,
who accompanied him on his trip to
the Dietz cabin to obtain his surrender
and the transfer of the case to another
county, John Dietz made the same
statements.
"Well, this is the end" said Sheriff
Madden when he learned the result of
Governor Davidson's effort to bring
peace to Cameron Dam.
There is nothing for us to do but
to get Dietz and We'll do it,
The deputies completely surround
the Dietz homestead. Deputy Fred
Thorbahn, who is in command, said
that he had two men stationed at in
tervals of 20 rods all around the clear
ing in which the little log cabin, is
located.
I'VE will not rush the house, but
will wait until one of US gets the drop
on him." said Thorbahn. 1--WE will
order him to throw up his hands and
if he doesn't l have instructed my
men to shoot"
The little log cabin in which the
Dietz family lives is built on a little
knoll. which commands view of the
forest on all sides. There is low
ground on all sides of the knoll except
one. About fifty yards from the house
is the stable and just beyond the
stable is a cornfield and several piles
of lumber.
Nels Poison and Colonel Munson
were signaled from the Dietz cabin by
the wave of a handkerchief from Mr..
Froelich. who preceded them They
walked out of the woods and across
the clearing waving a newspaper.
AS they neared the Thornapple
river. Dietz, as though in honor OF
their visit. raised an American flag to
the masthead above the cabin. At
least 100 men, correspondents, depu-
ties and citizens gathered in the
woods and with field glasses watched
the house.
When Dietz and his family and the
three visitors came out of the cabin
thew stood and talked and then started
tn walk slowly down the hill towards
the river. Dietz followed, gesticula-
ting. At times his voice was raised in
emphasis as he recited his wrongs.
Attorney Gilbert offered Dietz fair
trial. one of the best lawyers in the
state. and said he would quash all war
rants against members of his family
~ no would surrender to Sheriff Mad
den. Dietz spurned all offers and said
he would resist to the last ditch.

STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES
Reductions Made In Europe and the
Far East in Campaign to In
crease Use of Kerosene.

New York;. l. c. Clarke, through
whom the Standard Oil company
makes it's official announcements to
the public, has issued a statement to
the effect that the company has en-
tered on a thoroughly mapped out
campaign to increase the consumption
of kerosene in European countries and
the lands of the Orient. The first
move in this campaign is the reduc-
ton of the prices of oil in those coun-
tries. Mr.. Clarke's announcement says
in part:
THE Standard Oil company has In
augurated a campaign TO increase the
worlds consumption of refined oil
The level of prices for refined oil to-
day in the United States is lower than
at any time during recent years, and
as a direct result of these prices the
consumption of refined oil IN this
country is increasing. The same pol
ilcy is now being actively pursued
abroad"
AS indicated by this statement. the
Standard company began trying out
the policy of lower prices in the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had in view cam
paign that would cover the world. In
August the price of refined oil In
tanks was reduced from 61a to 51E
cents a gallon, and the price of re-
fined oil in barrels at the refinery was

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark u an
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi-
cation of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided tnat
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated WIN
great international Exposition In
which all the nations OF the world
may participate; and the question OF
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor OF hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums or
money as an evidence Of their ability
TO finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy of the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
ucational movement. Its success as
such. however. will depend entirely
upon the percentage OF our popula-
ton who can secure It's educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up
on its location, as the time In travel
ing to and from the Exposition, ane
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
ton. seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center Of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius OF 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 100000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within radius Of l 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,OOO.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average of 900 miles from.
New Orleans, there are 20 OF our
principal cities with a combined
population OF 20,000,000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with a COM
bined population of just 100000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over 70 per cent. of the people OF
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average Of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques-
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which conyenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama EXPOSE
ton, and If held in New Orleans q
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
fore, We urge our readers to write to
