mexican LAWYERS
In Their Country Are Asked
to Organize for the
Celebration.

MEXlco CITN, May 24-The or
sanlzation of a large society Of Mex
can lawyers, or "licenciados" in
every state ofithe republic is the
plan of prominent Mexico City at
torney. He wants the lawyers of the
country to celebrate the coming cen
tennial in September in that way.
1t is said such a society would
prove great benefit to the at
torneys enabling them to work for
the uniformity of the laws and to CO.
operate for modern reforms along
certain lines that interest profession
al men. Among other things a fra
ternal feature is suggested.
"A meeting of the lawyers OF the
capitai will probably be held at an
early date to consider the proposi-
tion. AT that meeting it is probable
that plans to tRttingly celebrate tho
centennial OF Mexican independence
by the attorneys as whole will be
discussed.

CRIMINAL
Care of Imbecile Girls Should
Not Obtain in Any
State.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 21.-.Attention
was called, by Dr. William y. Billiard
of Boston, Mass, in an address on
the State Care of High Grade I'M
beetle Girls" before the National Con-
ference OF Charities and Correction
here this morning, TO the great public
expense occasIoned by the lack OF
proper care given to an immense num-
Der OF girls who are just below the
lower grades OF normal children and
yet who are not clearly imbecile.
According to Dr. Billiard, these girls
as a rule become mothers of at least
three children each. Most OF these
children are themselves feeble-mind-
ed and ultimately a charge on the
state; the mothers lack sense of re-
sponsbility for present acts or the
realization Of their effort on future
events.
THE proper method of dealing
with this class" said DR.. Bullard. lis
to keep them In a custodial depart
ment fan institution for the feeble
minded and where they can be man
aged by those who have experience
with the mentally defective. This care
must he exercised by the state. In
exactly what form this can be done
hest depends upon the special condi-
tions in each state, their methods Of
caring for paupers. criminals and de-
fectives and the special means at their
disposal. These cases should, how
ever. never be treated or cared for as
criminals. They are usually released
only to undergo a second imprlson-
ment and meantime to have done
much evil to society,"

HALEY
To Keep the Comet in Mem
DRY is the Name of a New
Postoffice.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 25.-
In spite of the fact that his comet
has proved exceptionally elusive and
that many were disappointed in not
having seen 1t, the name OF HALEY
is to be perpetuated In West vlr-
GINA.
It was not the astronomers or sell
entists who measured the millions OF
miles in the comets tail. or described
the gases which composed 1t, who in
serlbed the name OF HALEY upon the
everlasting roll of fame. Instead It
was two modest and unassuming
young West virginians who conferred
this honor upon the discoverer and
wrote his name upon ineftacalble rec
ords. 1t was Messrs. Koran and Law
renee, secretaries to Representative
Gaines-the same VINO recently chris
tened new postomce in Fayette
county "Jodie"-who gave the name
of HALEY TO a new fourth class post
office at crossroads in Webster
county.
While little was said about it at the
time, the order for the establishment
Of the new Office at HALEY was signed
and delivered in the early hours OF the
morning of May 10. while the earth
was supposed to be passing through
the comets tail.
Even IL his comet was not seen or
Its presence felt at the time when 1t
was enveloping us. 1t should be honor
enough for the comets dlscoverer that
his name is to be perpetuated in a
postoffice in Webster county, Arthur
w. Brown was named for postmaster
at the new Office.

By Associated Press.
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 1S.-ln a
game that was filled with thrills from
start to finish, the Philadelphia Am
erican league champions this after
loon administered crushing defeat
to the Chicago National leaguers, be-
fore more than "a 900 people.
The score was 9 to 3. 1t was one
of the most exciting games ever play
ed on the American league grounds
in this city. 1t abounded in sensa-
tional fielding and terrific batting, and
the big, perspiring crowd was fire.
Quently brought to its feet with wild
enthusiasm as player after player
l,ade some brilliant stop or throw or
lined out smashing hit into the
crowd.
The spectators were shocked when
Pitcher Coombs showed unsteadiness,
but this was quickly forgotten a little
later when the fighting Athletics forg-
ed to the front. but in the seventh
inning, when Chances splendid ma
chine was crushed under a cannon
aiding of hits, the big crowds enthu-
siasm knew no bounds.
Almost everything that goes into a
baseball game was in evidence. There
were errors on both sides, generous
contribution of bases on balls that
frequently had pitchers in trouble,
long hits, fast base running and light
ming double plays.
The hero of the afternoon who
shone as brilliantly in his department
of the game as did Bender in yester-
days contest, was Eddie" Collins, the
star second baseman of the home
team. This former captain Of the
Columbia college nine, several times
electrified the crowd by his sensation
al work. In his five turns at the
plate he reached first base every time
by making three hits, two of them
doubles, receiving base on balls and
making force play. He scored two
runs and sent two home, accepted ten
chances without an error, figured in
two sensational plays that stopped
Chicago from running the bases, and
last but not least, the champion base
runner stole twice on the king Of
National league backstops, King.
Coombs pitched most erratic
game, giving nine bases on balls. He
got into trouble in the first inning by
giving two Of the first three men up
bases on balls. He got away with the
inning with but one run against his
team. At several, other stages Of the
contest he was in trouble, but the
brilliant work Of the man behind him
pulled him out of difficulty. He seem
ed to show better form when the
bases were occupied than when they
were clear.
