Gladstone First Governor.

The constitution of the South African
Federation was recently approved by
the British parliament and the king.
Herbert Gladstone. who has been elevat-
ed to the peerage under the title of Wis
count Gladstone of Hawarden-an honor
his father despised and rejected several
times-has been appointed the first gov
ernor general of the federation. and the
Prince of Wales will go to South AFRICA
in May to be present when the new gov
eminent is constituted and the first par
lament is opened, the .1st of that month.
in his speech from the throne few
weeks ago King Edward VII said:
ut is with peculiar interest and pleas
ure that I contemplate this visit, when
my son will have the privilege for the
first time of inaugurating the parlia-
mentary life Of a great united dominion
and will convey to South Africa on be-
half of myself and the empire our ardent
prayers for the welfare and future prog
ress of their people"
A Portuguese navigator discovered the
Cape of Good Hope in the year 1856; the
Dutch made the first actual settlement in
1862: in January, 1906, as a result OF the
Neopolonic wars, Great Britain took pos
session. Since that time South Africa mas
been practically under British rule, al
though the Dutch Inhabitants, as every
body knows. organized Independent re-
publics and fought desperately to main
tain them until May. 1902, when the
Beers finally submitted, renounced their
independence and consented to the annex
alton of the Orange Free State and the
South African Republic to the British
empire. In 1906 the British government
reorganiZed these colonies on wise and
liberal basis, which was appreciated by
the inhabitants To the tact and wisdom
shown is doubtless due the reconciliation
which has taken place between the rep
resentatives of the two races.

CLOSE SCORE OF 5 TO 8
Bennington Banged cranker for
Three Runs in Third Inning But
Couldn't Get any More

The Bennington Baseball team
went to Pittsfeld yesterday and lost
a league game by score of to g..
Just before the game was called there
was hard shower and the field was
in bad condition.
Ganley, who started the game for
Bennington is a dry day pitcher and
is unable to do his best when the ball
is wet. Pittsfeld scored two runs in
the second and two in the third and
Albert was sent in to finish the
game. The tall boy from Dorchester
kept the Pittsfeld batters well in hand
during the remainder of the game,
giving but one hit.
The four runs scored by Pittstield
in the second and third innings were
all made after two men we're out.
The fifth run was made in the sew
enth on a hit, a base on balls and
two sacrifices.
Bennington hit Cranker hard in the
second inning but was unable to do
anything with him during the remain
der of the game. Pittsheld played
errorless ball and the only two mis-
plays by Bennington was credited to
Carroll and Leonard. Carroll, who
played his first game with the team
failed to handle a hard hit grounder
and a throw from center field took a
bad bound and got by Leonard. The

CHIEF KoEHLER INDICATED
Golden Rule Head Of Cleveland Pol
ice Acquitted and Reinstated

Cleveland, June 24.--Chief of Pol
ice Fred Koeher known throughout
the country as the Golden Rule
chief, and lauded by former Presi-
dent Roosevelt as the nations best
police executive, was acquitted yes
terday of charges of gross immoral
ity and habitual drunkenness by the
Civil Service Commission, before
whom he has been on trial
An hour after his acquittal he was
reinstated as chief by Mayor Baehr,
who had suspended him when the
charges were filed.
The trial lasted nearly two weeks
and about two hundred witnesses
were examined. Early in the pro
ceedings the prosecution was com
PEELED to drop thirteen of the origin
al twenty-three charges on account
of lack of evidence. In its decision
the commission exculpated Chief
Koehler unreservedly.

SHAKING up The FINDS"
Trying TO Inject "elnser" into North
Adams Base Ball Players.

The unsatisfactory showing OF the
North Adams base ball team during
the past week has stirred Manager j..
II Flahorty TO action and he has de-
cided to make n drastic change In d.
recting the affairs OF the team. Tim"
Kenney has been relieved OF his dut-
les as captain and Art" Brown. who
was signed to take BILLY Kings
place In the outneld. will be given
the entire charge OF the club on the
field.
The new captain has had three
years experience as coach Of the De
paw university nine, where Over
man pitches, and he should prove n
great help to the local team. The
Finds have been noticeably weak In
team work all season long and the
first to be made by Brown Is to get
the players together.
There Is no excuse for the poor
showing which the local club has
made this year. Taken individually
the members Of the team are fully as
good as any club In the fourcornered
league and still less than one-half OF
the games have resulted In victories
What the Finds need Is captain 70
make them work and to give them
some inside base ball and there Is ov
cry reason to believe that Brown will
be equal to the occasion
Manager Flaherty Is resolved "a
have a winning team and. II the
/ present plan does not prove success
] he will try another. Brown will be
given every chance IN the world t.
make good and. II after afow weeks
/ trial. the team still lacks develop
mont. a new coach will be put IN
charge. Manager Flahorty state.
that as a last resort he will hire an
entire new team In order to win q

WHO WANTS A BOY?
Boy OF Fourteen Without Perman-
ent Place

A boy of fourteen, giving his name
as Walter Hughes, yesterday drifted
into town looking for a place to stay.
He was poorly dressed and in a gen.
orally poor condition. States Attor-
ney w. J. Meagher took charge of
him. Young Hughes father was or
iginally a citizen of SALISBURY and
abandoned the little chap there a
number of years ago.
The boy went to Troy and for a
time found work. However. few
days ago he turned up in SALISBURY
looking for his people who no longer
live there.
States Attorney Meagher taking
charge of him, has seen that he has
been properly clothed and shod
Many have been generous in contrib
uting toward his expenses.
If no proper place can be found for
the boy IL will be necessary to send
him to the Reform school because he
is without home. AT present Young
Hughes is the guest Of Mrs. Fred God

Bennington people pride themsel-
yes on being good Samaritans. Here
is an opportunity for the display Of

ToMoRRoW's BALL GAME
Bennington Will Have Second Exper
fence with Jeffersonians

The Bennington baseball team will
play its second game with the JEFF
fersonians az Morgan Park tomorrow
afternoon. The game is one in the
league schedule and the home team
will make special effort to win it SO
as to move up from its position at
the bottom of the league.
It Is probable that Albert will
pitch the game and that Ganley will
be reserved for the Sunday game
with North Adams which Is also one
Of the league series. Alberti made
an excellent showing at Pittstield on
Thursday and Manager Higgins is
confident that he can hold his own
with the Schenectady boys or any
other team for that matter With
Ganley in the box and a dry field at
Tudor park there is no reason Ben
nington shold not have the best of
the argument with North Adams. The
Tunnel Diggers have been shifted
about so much latel that they are not
in shape to play consistent ball.

AVIATOR BREAKS
HEIGHT RECORDS
Walter Br0okins, Driving a
Wright BipIane, Reaches Az
fifude Of 6,I0O Feet


ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., July g.
Walter Brookins. driving a Wright BIZ
plane, reached an, altitude estimated at
5000 feet over the ocean this evening
and broke the worlds record for aero
plane altitude. The exact official
figures, now being worked out by en-
gineers who took observations for tri-
angulation, will be given out later.
The barograph, an altitude recording
instrument carried on the machine,
showed an altitude of 500 feet. Of
hclals using an altitude gauge on the
ground gave the height as $3.50 feet
and 1T is believed that the final official
fgures will show an altitude somewher
between the two.
By his feat today Brookins wins the
$4,000 prize offered by the Atlantic City
aero club for breaking the worlds
record, unless a higher altitude is
reached here before the end of the
present meet.
Brookins spent 1 hour, minutes and
30 1900 seconds in the air, according z
to official timing. About 81 minutes of
this time was made in the circling
ascent, the rush of over a mile to the
ground consuming less than seven

CHAM PION REMEMBERS
OLD PALS WITH COIN

GALVESTON, Tex. July eight
men here were made happy by Jack
Johnsons winning the championship.
without having to wager any money on
the fight They are former associates
of the Galveston negro, who at diff
ferent times in his career in this, his
native city. befriended him.
The remembrances from the cham
pion were in the form of remittances
ranging from $3.50 to $3.50. The big
gest remittance was for $3.50 for Ed
Harrison. an old timer here, who
taught Johnson how to fight when a
young boy and gave him his first les
sons in the ring along the docks.
Jack appeared anxious to. become a
fighter and years ago promised his vol
unteer Instructor that when be got to
be champion and wealthy he would fit
him out in fancy clothes and red
necktie Sure enough he kept his
promise. and one of the first messages
he sent after the fight was to Harrison,
telling him to order two suits of
clothes and not TO be stingy on the
price.
While swimming in the bay from the
docks years ago when johnson was a
small boy he was sucked under ves-
sci and would have drowned had it not
been for Cafferty Williams. an asso-
ciate who saved him. Williams was
remembered with $500.
