Those who witnessed the accident.
say it was a wonder Lamar was not
killed.
More and more apparent with the
passing OF each day is the necessity of
organized ball in the southwest becom-
ing, and next season will most assuredly
see the Cactus league a reality instead
OF a make believe.
Among the strongest advocates of it's
policies are manager Harbuck of the
Mavericks, and manager Dalrymple, OF
the MarOOns- This is also the opinion
OF a majority of the members OF the
boards of directors back of the two
teams.
There would have been organized bali
this year had it not been for Cananea-
Dr. Ricketts,, head of the Cananea Con-
solidated Copper company, refused to
stand for it and threatened to with
draw his club from the circuit if an
organization was attempted. This was
due to the fact that most of the Cana
nea players had been declared outlaws
and even Harbucks assurance, before
the teams were organized, that every
player would be reinstated, failed to
change their views. In fact, they spoke
diSparagingly of Harbuck's efforts and
branded them as hot air. Douglas at
first opposed the proposition. but is now
ready to fall in line, having been made
to see its benefits in the handling OF
and holding onto players
The best example of recent date in
the fallacy of outlaw ball was mani
tested here when Flick left for Shreve-
port Had FL PasO been under national
agreement protection, Flick would still
be here and the club owners would have
received a neat sum for his release at
the end of the present season. AS it
was, they were left in hole and put TO
extra expense bringing in new short
stop.
In a conference with Mr. Potter Sat
urday at which the writer was present
he, with manager Dalrymple of the Ma
rooms, and Jesse Yoakum, one Of their
directors, agreed to do all possible for
the organized ball idea. 1t means that
it will be put into effect in 1911, and
also that If Cananea does not come in
another club, either in Tucson, Phoenix,
Albuquerque or some other live town,
VIII be brought in TO take her place.

FOWLS SUBJECT TO
 INFANT PARALYSIS
POULTRY AROUND WASHINGTON SHOWS SYMPTOMS OF DREAD ED DISEASE-WOULD MEN
 AGE COMMUNITY.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Are fowls subject to infantiIe paralysis? !? Poul- try fanciers in his vicinity are said to hold an affirmative view, and the deaths of many chickens and ducks that have occurred recently are as- cribed to the disease. The symptoms shown are said to be different from any heretofore observed among ail- ing pultry, but are strikingly sug- gestive of those shown by children among the fowls, whatever it may be, has become epidemic.
 pr. B. c. Schroeder, in charge of the experimental station of the bu- reau of animal industry for the gov ernment,s has made an examination of two of the fowls in an effort to ascertain if infanti1e paralysis was the cause of their death.
 .'I am not at all certain said pr. Schroeder, :that the fowls were af- f1icted with infantile paralysis, but if such is the case some means should be taken at once to stop the spread of the disease. If the fowls are af- fected it would no doubt be quite possible for them to communicate the disease to human being, and ehey would be a source of great dan ger in the community

HILL AS A PRESIDING OFFICER.
 CNewS Haven Union.)

Congressman E. J. Hill was nonf- mated by Stiles Judson in the Republi- week for Joseph Cannon's place as Speaker of the lower House of Con gress. This was before the conven- tion had had a fair opportunity to ing officer. We have attended many political conventions; We have sat in the House press gallery at Washing ton and watched Speaker Cannon wield the gaVe1; but never in our experience have we witnessed such 8 display of presiding officer tyranny as that in dulged in by MT. Hill at Hartford. He outlawed more good parliamentary practice in a shorter space of time than Tom Reed could have done had he been so inclined.
 titude, take his clash with Col. U1l- man. Chairman Hill had made a rul- ing on some point before the conven- tion. Col. Ullman, as was his parlia- mentary right, appealed from the de- cision of the chair and MT. Hill abso- lute1y refused to recognize him. Chair man Hill's treatment of Col. Ullnnan on this occasion was not only unpar- liamentary and unfair, but it was posi- lively rude and ungentleInanly. The saving grace of the affair is the fact that Col. Ull1nan conducted himself all through this trying situation with com mendab1e patience and dignity.
 This example of Hill as a presiding officer, might be multiplied several times without credit to MT. Hills ab1I- ity as a parlianentariap or his fair ness as a chairman. We have yet to find in any work on parliamentary law where the presiding. officer is not obliged to entertain an appeal from the decision of the chair.
 MT. Hills attitude as presiding of ficer reminds us of the story of the witty but effective Irishman who was ruling a meeting of the Sons of Ire land" with iron hand. He would brook TO interference with his rulings. At last the matter got so bad that a fellow Celt with more valour than dis cretion arose and shouted: q appeal from the decision of the chair!" Sec onding shouts were heard on all sides

BLOOD OF SAINT
 LIQUEFIES AGAIN
People of Naples Think it Means That the Cholera
 Peril is Over

Naples, Sept. 2O-The phenomenon of the Hquefaction of the blood of St. Januarius took place yesterday, after prayers lasting ifty-f1ve minutes, in the presence of a great multitude.
 The people interpret the rapidity of the HQuefact1on as proof that the peril from cholera is over.
 Yesterday was one of the two regular days set aside annually for the sup posed miracle of the liquefaction of the blood of St. Januarius. The other day is the first Saturday in May. At one of the expositionS of the blood of the saint last year it failed to 1iquefy, and this was regarded as an omen of dis aster.
 Various attempts have been made to explain the alleged miracle The ar gun1ent, once brought forward that there was no Hquefaction was aban- doned a considerable time a go. the evil dence for the liquefaction being over whe1nling
 The Chapel of St. Januarius is in the south aisle of the Cathedral of Naples, which is dedicated to that saint. The chapel was built early in the seven teenth century at enormous cost. and contains seven altars. forty-two col unns Of brocatelle, several pain tings by Domenichino, and a valuble treas ury. The blood of the saint is con- tained in two vessels in the tabernacle of the high altar. underneath which altar is the body of St. Januarius. He martyrdon in the reign of Diocletfan. His blood was gathered from the ground by a poor woman and incIosed in the two glass phials.A
 According to legend, the blood HQue- fled for the first time when the body Bishop St. severus in the time of Con- NaGtine.

Wall Street is watching closely the political field. According to the weekly market letter of Watson, Al pers & Co.,, there was at first a belief that 'tthe Democratic landslide in Maine would tend to lessen certain radical tendencies in the Republican party; then. according to the same authority. ''sober second thought re- minded some important interests of the danger to general business from renewed tariff agitation.'' This is a familiar old bugaboo which is resur- rected whenever Republican suprem- acy of the equally old type is threat ened. Any advocacy of the peoples interests as against those of the big trusts, combinations, etc, is invariably met, if 1t shows strength, with the cry of danger to general business It is believed by very many that the money panic which began in October, 1907, was started by ''the interests as a means of checking the progress of the Roosevelt policies and of in f1uencing the Republican National convention of 1908, the first named purpose not being accomplished while the other was successful. This bug aboo of Hanger to general business has been used many times to the ad- vantage of the Republican party and it's packers, "the interests, and has been as many times proved to be empty, as it is now.

Established 1857.

With that the chairman grabbed up the secretary's books and the treas urer's report and walked to the rear of the hall near the exit door.
 'Ye appeal from the decision of the chair, do yep
 we do,'' came back the shout from all over the hall.
 1eWelI, then, yez can all go to h-l, . and he walked out.
 And, frankly, that was almost MT. HilPs attitude at Hartford.
 In fact if the Hartford convention is any criterion. and MT. Hill is being seriously considered for the Speaker ship for the lower House of Congress hv his fellow partisans, allow us to say that if the next Speaker must be a Republican and the choice lies be tween Hill and Cannon, give us ''Uncle Too

INFANT PARALYSIS
 CLOSES SCHOOLS
EDUCATION BOARD AT MIDDLE TOWN TAKES ACTION, DE- SPITE DOCTORS CON-
 TRARY ADVICE.

MiddIetown, Sept. 20.4OpposingA the action of local physicians, who at a meeting advised against closing the city schools, the local Board of Edu- cation at a special meeting last night voted unanimously to close the schools until further notice. This action was the result of the widespread alarm in the community over the prevalence of infantile paralysis.
 Despite the efforts of physicians and others to allay the fears of parents and children, twenty-five per cent. of the pupils in the city schools failed to put in an appearance at the school sessions yesterday. Many parents sent their children out of the city.
 The fright over the epidemic spread to the St. Johns and Polish parochial schools which were closed by the priests this morning.
 Officers of the North Congrega ationa1 church, who were to hold a big Sun day school rally this week. decided to call off all meetings. The school buildings are to be funigated and afr engagements are being made to correct conditions at the Midd1etown High School, where the pupils have been obliged to use a common towel, drink from a common drinking cup and use unsanitary plumbing arrangements.
 Two girl students at the High School. both members of the senior class, died, and a child of W. s. Mcintyre, assist stricken with the disease. Four new patients were reported yesterday. Phy- sicians say that some of the patients, should they recover. will be cripples for life.
 In an effort to quiet the fears of resi- dents a statement was issued by the local and county health officers in which it was said that in the opinion of experts the disease is not contag- ious.
