as off the gridiron Their playing
was square and honorable in every
detail. The visitors also were as a
rule square, but were somewhat in
clined to roughing it whenever a
chance to do so unnotced was offered.
However, the referee kept fairly close
watch of the play and but little OPP
portunity to do any very dirty" work
was given.
Coach Grady is entitled to the
maximum of credit in getting to-
gether and training such fast bunch
OF mer From the first he has worked
his pupils hard and consistently and
has never been satisfied with any
thing but the best OF work. He is a
student, in the words truest sense. Of
his department OF instruction. and
there is little of value in athletics that
escapes him. 1t may hardly pay TO
look back over what has been done
and sigh, but ii the team had been in
the condition and had the ability they
displayed in the last game when they
met the Michigan Agricultural college
team at Lansing early in the season,
the result might have been different
in that the credit side of the balance
would have been with the local
eleven. However, when it is consid-
cred that the team which the local
college held to an II to score de
feated the big University OF Notre
Dame by six points more than they
were able to get from Alma, the NJ. A.
c. game is nothing TO be ashamed of.
With coach like Mr.. Grady at the
head of athletic instruction in the col
lege, there seems TO be very bright
prospect that the basketball and base
ball seasons will be very successful.
There seems to be good evidence that
the cup which is now resting in the
college library, showing the cham
pionship honors which are held by
Alma i'm baseball, will remain right
here in town through next summer.
That is the aim of Coach Grady and
every student in the college.
The NJ. l. A. A. schedule has been
arranged. 1t gives Alma four home
games with rival colleges of the asso-
citation. There are two with Adrian
and two with Hillsdale on Davis field,
and games with Olivet and Albion on
foreign diamonds. The Nj. \. {. also
will play home and home games with
the Alma nine. 1t is considered quite
an honor to have a place on the
Aggies schedule. as they have ar
ranged games with such colleges as
Pennsylvania State university, Ohio
State, Syracuse university, Wabash,
Western Reserve. Case, and so on.
However, the Alma team has more
than once demonstrated its right to
contend with the Lansing school on
the diamond, only last year breaking
even with the farmers in home and
home games.
That the townspeople appreciate
the success OF the college teams was
shown very conclusively Saturday
night. A line of about seventy-iive
students paraded up and down Supe-
rior street and were treated by
twenty-five or thirty Superior street
merchants. The town was practically
thrown open to them and they were

it, and it is SO much harder than it
need be.
The freless cooker, which is per-
haps the most helpful of all modern
housekeeping tools, will relieve you
OF large share of the labor and ex-
pense. Your experience will convince
you of this if mine does not, but
want to give you just a few OF the
reasons why the tireless cooker and |
are such good friends
In the first place, it makes meal
getting temporary thing, not a task
which ! must work at most OF the
day. In the morning l prepare my
meat and vegetables, give them the
preliminary boiling, shut them up in
the cooker and they are out of sight
and out OF mind
When the breakfast dishes have
been washed and simple dessert
prepared | can leave a SEAMLESS,
odorless, orderly kitchen behind me,
knowing that my dinner will cook it
self while / attend to other duties.
1t will not boil over. it will not burn
on, and there will be no rushing TO
and from the kitchen to regulate
drafts and hampers.
The fireles cooker has a mind Of its
own, and when it is given fair start
it takes care of itself. Best of all.
while my mind and hands are busy
with other things. my tireless cooker
is making a cheap cut of meat fully
as delicious and nourishing as | could
make an expensive one, by constant
work and watching.
The method is very simple-simply
washing We all get, oh, so tired OF
the shutting up and retaining of the
heat in the food which is being
cooked, the even temperature giving
the best possible results both in flavor
and digestibilty Naturally, the
dishes are easier to wash because in
freless cooking there is no scorching
and sticking.
So valued a friend as the freless
cooker cannot have all its good points
mentioned in one short article, but
TO know it is to love it." and the
proof of the cooker is in the trying.

Declaration
TO LOOSEN BONDS OF CREED

CHICAGO, July e.-Members of the
University of Chicago divinity school
faculty have defined and formulated
the characteristics of a new Christian
ity."
The professors note the arrival of a
new type of religion in an official
editorial in the current number of The
Biblical World, issued yesterday by the
University Press.
In the anonymous editorial, RESPONSE
bility for which is accepted by the thir-
teen editors, the university authorities,
pointing to the coming of the new
Christianity" as a type of faith which
shall result in 1.-The releasing of men
minds from the bonds of tradition and
creed" accept the results Of the scien-
tifc study of the world and deal in
every day works more than in theo-
logical subtleties.
The religion is described as "scten-
tific, ethical, practical and altruistlc.
The author of the editorial says:
"If there be a controversy between
Genesis and geology, the new Chris
tianity will stand with geology. The
record left in the strata of the earth
cannot be impugned by a poet of the
pre-scientific age, even though that
poet be also a prophet of higher con-
ception of God than had before his day
prevailed. In conformity to the same
principle, the new Christianity will ac-
cept the assured rdsults Of historical
investigation into the records Of ancient
times.
"Religion has its rights, but so also
has history, and one of these is that 1t

NICARAGUA HALTS AT
PAYING DOUBLE DUTY
Republic Makes No Attempt to
Enforce Extra Levy

WASHINGTON, July 6.-That no at
tempt is being made in Nicaragua to
levy the double duty called for in the
recent decree of General Irias was in
dicated in q dispatch received by the
statement today from American Con-
sui Moffatt at Managua. Merchandise
sent to Prinza Pulka and Rio Grande
BluefeIds, said Mr Moffatt, had been
delivered to consignees at these points
without waiting for payment Of duty,
and export duties leaving the same
ports had not been levied for duty by
the Madriz officials.
General Irias, in his recent edict is
sued while he was aboard the Venus,
proclaimed that goods imported at
three or four cooast towns captured by
the Venus would be subject to pay
duty to him at Pearl Lagoon, and that
duty would be levied on all goods going
from eastern Nicaragua through those
towns.
It is understood that Pearl Lagoon
has since fallen into the hands of the
Estrada revolutionary forces. The
United States has taken a firm position
against permitting any double duty on
United States goods.

Death thwarted the extradition to
California of Walter T. Briscoe yes
terday when he shot himself In the
head in his cell in the Rochester N.

revolver which he had concealed SO
skillfully that it was not found when
he was searched following his arrest
in Rochester. He inflicted a wound
that caused his death in a few hours

city is in Rochester, and was making
preparations to start for Los Angeles
with his prisoner last night when
Briscoe turned the revolver on himselr.
Briscoe had the automatic pistal con-
cealed in a cloth bag which was pinned
inside his clothing. The officials heard
the shot, and on rushing to Briscoe's
cell found him lying on the floor, the
bullet having penetrated his brain.
Every effort was made to save his life,
but he died without regatning con-
seriousness.
Briscoe died just before 8 o'clock last
night. In the hem at the bottom OF
one of the mans trousers leg hos
pttal nurse found a razor blade. Ihe
police advance the theory that the
man would have shot his wife If he
had been allowed to see her today, and
would have committed suicide In MS
cell later, using the razor blade.
Briscoe was arrested in Rochester
two weeks ago at the instance of
Sheriff Eammel, who held a warrant
sworn to by Walter Taylor, vice presi-
dent of the Llewellyn Iron works, who
charged him with obtaining $500 under
false pretenses.
Briscoe disappeared from this city

Their capture was due to the latter 8
fondness for her pet dog and cat. The
officers learned that Mrs. Briscoe had
taken her pets with her, and 1T was
but a few days later that information
was secured from one of the railroad
companies by a Pomona constable that
a cat and dog had been shipped to
Rochester from Pomona. They had
been consigned to the home of Mrs.
Briscoes father, and officers placed
Briscoe under arrest as he was about
to enter his father-in-law's house.
For several months previous to his
disappearance Briscoe was engaged in
organizing a syndicate, ostensibly for
the purpose of purchasing a tract of
land in orange county for purposes of
According to Mr.. Taylor, he repre-

with the prisoner, but death liberated

A trio Of young ladies spent some
weeks last year at an out f-the-way
village in the mountain region. They
found the village postmaster a quaint
old character, whose ways were as
original as they were startling, so that
the daily trip to the postoffice became
a real event.
'Is there any mail for us, major?"
asked one of the young ladies as she
appeared at the window one morning.
