|day to keep up our pennant-win-
ming stride, and Bill was there al
to the cheese. The big fellow
had everything that the best OF
them loosen up from their roper
torres, and his spittonish knee
balls were too many curios for the
Ribboners. In the first game Bill
pitched a mastery game, and it
seemed as though he was going
to have his usual hard luck and
lose out, after Rollins miscued
when he attempted to bank one
Ito Law. But the last bout inserted
more ginger in the big fellow and
he opened the second game with
more speed and curves than at
first. The oppressive heat forced
our handsome friend to the bench
after he had won the game in the
first five innings. Ostrum not
only pitched clever ball, but he hit
like a fiend. His raps were
true and loud, skinning the left
field fence both times. In the
Second game he scored Law with
hts two baser.
Curnane opened the first game
for the visitors, and he, too, pitch
ed a neat game of ball. Luck was
with him, too, and although they
made seven hits off of his deliv-
cry, there was nothing done in
the run-getting line until the
seventh inning came. The little
left-hander has good timber, and
is Meridian's best artist.
Puie opened the second game,
and our boys touched him for
nine safeties. This game was
never in doubt, and the fans were
elated over our boys taking three
straights from Recess recon
structed orphans.
In the seventh inning of the
first game, Thornton hit for two
bags just inside the initial sack
line, and was advanced by bod

indianapolis, Jan. 2S.-Local saloon
keepers who violate the closing laws
will hereafter be compelled to keep
their saloons closed until they can
produce letter from a minister GER
tifying that they have attended church
on Sunday morning and remained
throughout the services. Such was

place and go to church on Sunday
The police declare he did not keep
his word
The mayor suspended Cummins' Ii

GUEST WOULD KISS BRIDE
Riot Ends Wedding Festivities at
CHICAGO.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Festivities at the
wedding OF Albina Mul, eighteen years
old, broke up in a riot cal for the po-
lice. Furniture was smashed, the
dishes of the wedding banquet were
thrown out the window and eight of
the guests were arrested, some of
them being so seriously injured they
later had to be removed to hospital.
Immediately after the ceremony the
trouble began. John Daniel, in ac.
cordance with Polish custom as to
the arrangement of dancers, claimed
the privilege of kissing the bride first
On being denied this, according to the
charge against him, he picked up a
hatchet, welding it right and left.
When a wagon load OF police entered
the place they found the floor covered
with blood, the windows broken and
the furniture and musical instruments
scattered The bridegroom was found
locked in a closet, where he had beer
hidden by the bride. Max Noga, one
of the guests, received injuries from
which it was said he would probably
die.

Sweeping Changes Recommended BY
National Board OF Trade.

Washington, Jan. 28.-After endors-

acter as to alter largely the present
effect of the law and after going on
record as unalterably opposed to the
federal inspection of grain the Nation
al Board of Trade ended the fortieth
annual meeting of the organization.
Amendments to the immigration
laws to eliminate the educational test
were unanimously approved and q

government negotiate with other ma
tions for the creation OF an interna'

iorsed. ss
The session ended in a wrangle
when H. c. Reynolds OF Scranton, Pa.

merce and boards of trade to attend
the meeting of the National Board Of
Trade, cane to Washington and spent
the time elsewhere than at the con

RAILROAD LAW
BEST FOR ALL

NEW YORK, July 1S.-"There is
no danger to the railroads in Govern
ment supervision" declared President
David Starr Jordan, of Leland STAN
ford Jr. University, in an interview
published here today.
con the contrary" he says, Gov
eminent supervision will benefit both
the railroads and the public by con-
serving the interests of both. 1t is
far better for a railroad like the
Southern Pacific, for example, which
traverses many states, to be under
the supervision of a strong able in
terstate Commerce Commission than
nder the rule of many state legisla-
lures. The railroad question is too
big for the individual states to ham
