The Matters were defeated In a nine

a. score of 2 to 1, the celery lads win
ming after two men were down in the
last spasm. The Maiers led by lone
tally up to this, fatal inning. Joe Sea-
ton. the midget wonder of Seattle, had
a finger nail Of his left hand torn loose
by terrific drive from Ellis bat and
had to retire in favor of Stadelli, who
performed wonderfully, after having
not pitched a game for two years or
more. His southpaw delivery was
complete puzzle up to the ninth inning,
and no doubt would have won after
Seaton's injury but for an unlocked for
error in the ninth. Meats led off in
this frame with a double to left. r.
Head followed with a drive to Wilson,
which was fumbled, and Brown won
the game by scoring both with q

in a long time. Browns sticking also
was a feature of the first battle. A
good crowd attended. The score:

CLIFFORD PINCHOT
TO SUCCEED ELIOT
Forester to Become President of
National Conservation Assoc
citation at Suggestion of
Educator

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The cleo
ton of Clifford Pinchot to-succeed Dr.
Charles w. Eliot as president OF the
National Conservation association was
announced tonight. DIR. Eliot, at whose
suggestion Mr.. Pinchot was elected, re-
tains the honorary presidency.
Mr.. Pinchot will take active charge OF
the association today, headquarters OF
which will be in Washington.
Two weeks ago DR.. Eliot wrote to the
executive committee of the association
that Mr.. Pinchot, as the recognized
head of the conservation movement,
should take the active leadership. He
wrote Mr.. Pinchot a personal letter
suggesting that he accept the presi-
dency. At DR.. Eliot's direction meet
ing of the executive committee of the
association was held and Mr.. Pinchots
election followed.
The National Conservation associat-
ton was formed last July to- help,
through a large individual membership,
to put into practical effect conserya-
ton principles declared by the confer
ence of governors in May, 1908. The
association was formally launched last
October Since then, under DR.. Eliot's
personal direction, it has obtained a
membership extending over the country.
1t is announced that an extensive
campaign to extend the membership
into every state will be carried on.

CLOTHES BASKET BREAKS
FALL AND SAVES CHILD
Remarkable Escape from Death by g.
Year-OId Tot in Phila-
deIphla

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.-Falling
from the second story front window of
her home, Cora Carrigan, the 3-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Mary Carrigan of 2S41
North Orianna street, was saved from
death or serious injury by alightng in
q basket of clothing which was being
carried along the street by Miss Ger
trude Williamson of Fourth street and
Indiana avenue.
The child had been left alone in the
second story front room and had sue
ceeded in raising the window. She at
tempted to climb up on the sill and i'll
doing so lost her balance and fell head
long toward the sidewalk, twenty feet
below.
Neighbors across the street saw the
child fall and several women screamed
in fright.
Just at that moment, however, Ger
trude Williamson was passing with the
big clothes basket held in front of her.
Hearing the screams of the women
across the street she turned her head
for an instant and as she did so the
baby plunged among the soft clothes
with a shock that staggered her.
With the child still in her basket the
girl rang the bell of the baby's home
and Mrs. Carrigan came to the door,
Astonished at seeing her child, whom
she supposed to be upstairs, she asked
Miss Williamson where she had found
little Cora. When she was told that
her baby had fallen from a window
she tainted. The child was entirely ua-
harmed and seemed to enjoy its aerial
descent.

STATE DEPARTMENT AND
EMBASSY DECLINE TO
DISCUSS THE DETAILS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The state
department and the German embassy
here have declined to make public de-
tails of negotiations that have been IN
progress for three months regarding
the maximum and minimum feature OF
the Payne Aldrich act as t applies TO
German products.
1t is known, however, that they have
proceeded to a point where one issue
remains-that of the removal of re-
strictions on American cattle and meat
imported to Germany.
The German government, in its last
note, indicated its purpose TO continue
on the favored tariff list all American
products at present included in the
arrangement, this to be in return for
the concession under the new tariff act
of the minimum rate to all German
imports into America.
But important western interests have
insisted that German regulations re-
garding imports of American cattle
and meats into Germany are absolutely
prohibitive and discriminatory. A
possible solution of the issue, 1t is sug-
gested, may consist in the consent of
the American government to waive
further consideration of the cattle
question for the reason that there is
now little or no trade in that line be-
cause of the high price of beef in this
country.

GORILLA IN LEAD AS.
GREAT JUNGLE HORROR

OF all the existing man apes, says the
London Times, the gorilla is beyond
question the most formidable, a large
male standing not infrequently more
than feet inches in height and bones
being known of one which apparently
measured in life no less than feet
inches 1t is not, we now know from
experience in the gardens and else
where, always when young quite so
utterly untamable a beast and so
entirely and constantly an enemy of
man. as Du Chaillu represented, but it
Is savage and morose enough.
1t is still uncertain whether in a wild
state, except in the immediate moment
of attack, it ever actually walks erect
without resting either of it's knuckles
on the ground or supporting itself by
a branch overhead, but that it does beat
it's fists upon its breast when enraged
(Du Chaillu says that he heard the
noise like great bass drum at
distance of a mile) is established; and
when the male gorilla turns, as SEEM
ingIy it does, to confront man fearlessly
when attacked. with its huge size, it's
great limbs and hideous head set al
most down to its shoulders, we can be-
lieve that mo description can exceed
the horror of its appearance" and that
the gorilla usually lives in the depths
of forests where the light is so dim that
1t is difficult to see any object at q dis
lance of more than a few yards, and
it is not to be wondered at that the
natives have invested it with attributes
even more horrible than those which it
possesses.
MANY believe the gorilla to be hui
man; others hold that, though itself
beast, it is often informed with the
transmigrated spirits of the human
dead. 1t is said to lie in wait crouched
on the lower branches of trees over
hanging a path, and when human be-
ing passes to drop one of its long hind
limbs, and, clutching the victim by the
throat so suddenly and in so terrible a
grip that hardly a sob is heard, to drag
it-man or woman-up to its lurking
place. It is credited with capturing
and stealing women and carrying them
off to keep them in the forest, and,
armed with clubs, is said to attack and
beat elephants. The formidableness of
the great apes, as compared with other
beasts, however, is not an easy matter
to pass upon In Africa it is notewor-
thy that the lion and the gorilla do not
occur together, and 1t has been con-
iectured both that the lion has exter-
minated the gorilla within its territory
and that the gorilla has driven out the
lion

INTOxICATION INCREASES
UNDER RUSSIAN CONTROL
Government Handling of Spirits Is
Unsuccessful and Detrimental
to Cars Subjects

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 23.-Since
the Russian government monopolized
the sale of spirits drunkenness has
been constantly on the increase. The
consumers are, besides, obliged to
purchase a very inferior article The
people are, in fact, being supplied with
raw spirit, which is very injurious 70
health. Vodka in Russia is a universal
drink; it is drunk in the palace of the
car and in the poorest cottage. As it
is possible to obtain in the government
shops a small bottle of vodka for less
than 2 cents, the poorest beggar is now
able to indulge in the national bev-
erage.
All attempts to save the people from
drunkenness and thereby raise them,
both morally and economically. have
hitherto been of no avail. Before the
government took over the sale of spir-
its there were villages in Russia where
n was impossible to buy vodka, and
where the peasants were, compare
+iveIv speaking, well to do. But now
the government is inundating the
smallest and most distant villages with
q f1ood of spirits. In some of these
SriIia oes the women have been turned
into regular furies, not through their
love of alcohol, but owing to their
hatred of it. In order to save their
families from destruction they have In
some districts assembled and stormed

severely punished.
THE government makes an enormous
profit from the sale of spirits. Last
wear it amounted to $25000O,0oO.

ACTION OF CHINA
CAUSE FOR REGRET
London Newspaper Considers That
American Diplomacy Is
Directed in Spirit
of Sincerity

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The Times, in an
editorial this morning on the rejection
of the Knox proposals by Russia and
Japan, considers China's action in
ratifying the preliminary agreement
with reference to the concession of the
Chin Chow Aigun railroad to the
Anglo American group, regrettable.
1t thinks that this can only be
short-sighted attempt to force the is
sue by creating complications, which
China doubtless imagines may benefit
her by aggravating the existing diverg-
encies between the powers.
If this is China's object, however,
the Times is confident that it will fail
because American diplomacy, on this
occasion, not so fortunate in it's meth
DDS. is sincerely directed toward a

interests in the far east and has, in
fact. brought Russia and Japan into
the closest communion of views with
regard to their interests in the region

EAST WIND BRINGS
DEATH, WEST HEALTH
Head of United States Weather Bu-
reau Makes Interesting Obser-
Vations Regarding Breezes

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Prof. Will
lis L. Moore, chief of the weather bu-
reau, has made some observations re-
garding winds. He says:
cit is well known to meteorologists
that easterly winds either hug closely
to the earth or have an upward COM
ponent of motion. They, therefore,
gather the humidity, dust, disease and
other bacteria, and as a rule they are
warm and humid. All of these condi-
lions make them foul winds, under
which animal life is enervated and rem
dered susceptible to the germs which
the winds themselves carry and dis
seminate.
"The converse is true of the north
west winds. They come from above,
with a downward component of motion
that bears a definite relation to the
velocity. They come from the region
where the air is dry, pure and highly
electrified and where ozone exists in
comparatively large quantities. The
COOL pure air of the northwest wind Is
therefore an invigorating air. 1t stimu-
lates man and all .er animal life. 1t
brings physical energy and mental
buoyancy in its mighty breath.
81 have not the data before me, but
1 am morally certain that if the NOR
tality statistics of the various hospitals
were studied it would be found that
more people die under the influence of
the east than of the west winds.
GAS the greater number of the
storms of the northern hemisphere
originate on the American continent,
we have a greater atmospheric activ-
ity and the northwest winds a greater
force.
'"This may have a marked effect as
one of the important environments
that have to do with the character of
the race that is now coming to be
known as American He has fertility
of thought and energy of body. May
it not be that the climate has much
to do with the developing of the in
domitable spirit that is now reaching
ont TO rthe mastery of the earth?"
