The petition for the writ of
habeas corpus by which Leona Lord,
held with Sam Reed on the charge
of having killed Silas E. Lord in
the boundary line fracas July IL at
Equinunk, seeks to get out of the
Jail. was heard by Judge A. T.
Searle of the Wayne county court
in chambers at 2 o'clock this after
noon.
The hearing, as had been antici-
pated, was closely guarded. Aside
from the officials-district attorney,
sheriff and coroner-and principal,
counsel and witnesses, nobody got
( into the judges room. The news
papermen waited outside. There are
county officials who think the Reed
and Lord case has already received
a dangerous amount of newspaper
notoriety and that no men who write
for the press should be permitted to
see or hear Sam Reed or Leona Lord
until they come before a jury in
October.
There were rumors, of course,
floating about the courthouse and
the borough, and one of these was
to the effect that Mrs. H. j. Logan,
the New York woman who, sitting
at a second story window in the
next house, saw the whole affray,

County Commissioners Burchell,
Durkin and Allen of Lackawanna
were in Honesdale Wednesday to
meet the Wayne county commits
sioners for the purpose of discuss
ing the three township bridges in
Lehigh, which were built by Lack
awanna and never have been made
county bridges. The Lackawanna
commissioners want Wayne to pay
a part of the cost of flooring these
bridges with concrete, but as they
are not county bridges Wayne can
not see this county's way clear to
comply.
Lackawanna has a bridge act OF
her own under which the grand
jury inspects bridge sites and makes
appropriations for building the
bridges, but Wayne is under the
state law governing bridges and this
is where the hitch comes in the case
of these bridges in Lehigh. They
are located at Gouldsboro.
Clerk George P. Ross of the

Cost of Surveys Taken Out Under
Jones Law.

Jones Law.
The state highway department
has received an opinion from Deputy
Attorney General largest to the eff
feet that under the Jones road act
the cost of surveys, etc, may be
taken out of the appropriation as
whole for the Improvement of town
ship roads and the remainder of
the appropriation apportioned
among the townships abolishing the
work tax system of building roads,
the division being at the full rate of
$20 per mile. The department had
asked whether the cost of surveys
should be deducted from the $40.
Mr.. largest also advises that the
department may not prepare plans
and specifications for roads in town
ships that have not abolished the
work tax system.

way to the final round in singles in the

In both matches Princeton players were
their opponents, and the Unexpectedly

Especially was this true of e. NJ Dell in

and deep ground strokes earned him the
first set. ca. and Sweetser had to fight
hard for the second set, which he cap
tured, 12-1O. Dell was wild i'm the third

League Powers Said to Welcome

Mound City.

NEW YORK, September 1O.-Conficting

posed all-star tour, says he has received
intimation that Robert Lee Hedges VIII

declares that no sale is contemplated.
while President Hedges refuses to talk.
The st. Louis Browns have failed utterly
this year. President Hedges has spent
money right and left to secure new ma
terial but his team is last in the Ameri-
can League race and is hopelessly weak.
In American League circles the st. Louis
problem is causing much discussion. and
ii is said on pretty fair authority that II
Hedges should decide to sell there would
not he much opposition on the part of
President Johnson. provided of course the
purchaser was suitable.
Two years ago Comiskey. owner of the
Chicago White Sox and the biggest man
in his league. had a personal run i'm with
Hedges at local hotel. the subject being
base ball. Hedges at that time was en-
Aleer, had just made a strong fight for
the pennant. though losing first honors
by only few games. Comishey ana
Hedges exchanged hot verbal KNOCKS De-
fore peacemakers could interfere. But
enough was said 10 create the impression
that the St. Louis man was not member
of the inside circle which Is in control oil
the league
When Hedges therefore decided to turn
McAleer loose in response to general
clamor at the end of last season, II Is
said that Johnson. Comiskey and other
club owners protested against the move,
attempting to show that the slump OF the
Browns was not due to managerial mis-
takes but to a series of unfortunate accl-
dents. But Hedges stuck to his plan and
when McAleer was released Johnson
promptly recommended him to the wash
ington club.
The r~~Ilt of this change has worked
wondL%, in Washington Never in the MS
tory OF base ball has there been so much
interest i'm the National Capital. me
crowds this year have broken all records
and the Nationals have assumed higher
position in the race than any former team
representing that city in the big leagues.
The Washington club has made big money
and the stockholders attribute the entire
success to McAleer's methods. In view
of these facts il is reported that Hedges
has become discouraged and that the
American League leaders will welcome a
change in the ownership and management
of the St Louis club. But If there's
sale ii is safe to say that Johnson Will
have much to say in the selection OF a
new owner.

The coming annual meeting OF the Cen
