WANT MORLEY
AS PRESIDENT
WESTERN B0WLERS AFTER
LOCAL MAN
OFFERED SOLID CALIFORNIA
VOTE AT MEETING
Appreciation of Long EndeaVor in Be-
half of Various Lines of
Sport Finds Ex-
preston

Bowling fans throughout California
have started a boom for the election of
James +. Morley, the local sportsman,
to the presidency of the Western Bowl
ing congress at the annual meeting and
tournament of the organization in
Frisco next week. The boom was
started locally, by friends of the man
who has done so much for the sport in
this end of the state, but il has spread
all over the state and word comes
from Frisco to the effect that the up
state delegations will be solid for the
local man.
Morley probably is one of the best
known sportsmen on the coast by rea-
son of his long and honorable connec-
ton with the various branches of
sports. Morley was one of the men
who established boxing as a sport here
and later became a baseball magnate,
retiring after the earthquake came
along and put the national pastime out
of business for awhile He long has
been identified with bowling and bill
lard interests and is regarded as an
expert in both these lines of sports.
He is proprietor of billiard parlors and
bowling alleys here and at Venice and
through his long connection with these
enterprises, has built up the sports
until they now are among the most
popular pastimes in this portion of the
state.
Morley is an excellent business man,
as the universal success that has at
tended every line of business in which
he has been engaged fully attests. AS
a promoter and business man he is
one of the keenest types in the west
and if the bowlers of the west make
him their president, it is natural, in
view of past performances, to expect
that the year Will be the most sue
eessful period in the history of the
sport in the west. With all California
lined up solidly for him and making
a strong campaign in his behalf, there
is every reason to believe that he will
be chosen as the head of the Western
Bowling congress next week.

DIRECTORS CHOSEN FOR
MATERNITY HOSPITAL WORK

The fourth annual meeting of the
Womens Alliance Maternity Hospital
association was held in the committee
room of the chamber of commerce last
night and a new board of directors to
serve through the ensuing year was
elected. Those chosen were Mrs. w.
Fl. Fox, Mrs. II. NJ. Binford, Mrs. M.
e. Flint, Mrs. A. n. Lord. Mrs n. e.
Wilson, Mrs ID. *. Dickinson, Mrs.
William Baurhyte and Mrs. G. j. Fox.
In her annual report the president,
Mrs. Baurhyte, pointed out the need
of more funds to carry on efficiently
the work of the organization which
is supported entirely by voluntary
subscriptions, as the association has
room for five more beds, which the
present finances do not warrant in
stallng. The cost of maintaining the
Maternity cottage during the past
twelve months mas been $1495, and the
cash on hand at present is 800. A
vote of thanks was offered to the nurse
in charge, Mrs. Rice, and to the ply
sicians who have devoted their serv-
ices to the cause, whose efficient CO.
operation during the year has resulted
in the relieving of more than eighty
cases.
Aside from the receipt of cash sub
scriptions the association raises funds
by the sale of articles of clothing to
the residents in the vicinity of the
cottage at 127 South Utah street, and
gifts of clothing and household ar
ticles which have been laid aside will
be appreciated by the association.
Contributions may be sent to the pres
ident, Mrs. Baurhyte, 1888 Edgeware
road, or Mrs. c. j. Fox, the treasurer
at 1860 lockwood street. The asso-
citation is indorsed by the Merchants
and Manufacturers association, the
charity conference ard the city coun-
ell. and no hesitancy need be felt re-
garding the worth Of it's efforts.
In connection with the maternity
cottage the Los Angeles Fellowship
maintains a sewing school, which has
classes in the kindergarten room Of
the Utah street school every Wednes-
day afternoon, and is in need of do
nations of material.

U. S. STEEL FILED
Alleged TO Have Caused Organizers to
Be Beaten and Driven Out
of Meeting
Places
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March 22-Sworn
statements in support of charges made
against the United States steel cor
poration by the American Federation
of Labor were filed with Attorney
General Wickersham today. The trust
is charged with crushing competi
ton" conducting a monopoly of the
necessities Of life at Gary, Ind, its
model town; causing union organizers
to be beaten and driven out of halls
i'm which they sought to speak and in
one case forcing man out of busi-
ness after he had rented hall to or
ganizers.
The evidence follows o petition of
the organization to President Taft, who
referred the matter to the attorney
general.
Aside from alleging the corporation
exists in restraint of trade and COM
merce. the federation's chief complaint
is that it has used various means to
prevent labor organizations from work.

organizers, deposing they have been
beaten and ordered out of places where
the corporation has mills, are attached
to the statement as exhibits. Others
declare labor officials have been unable
to hire halls in which to hold meetings
and have been intimidated by local po-
lice in steel districts, all of which Is
charged to officers OF the steel minis Dy
a series of sworn statements. One in
stance is cited where it is alleged en-
ployes of a steel mill at North Van
dergrift Pa, were ordered not to buy
ice cream of a man who rented hall
to organizers and the man was forced
out of business,
part of the argument is an effort
to show the steel corporation exists III
violation of the Sherman antitrust law
and certain provisions of the wilson
tariff act. The corporations ownership
of coal and ore lands is said to be
nart of a monopoly; it is charged Win
having crushed transportation compe-
tition on the great lakes and IN some
instances on the railways Its acqul-
sition of the Tennessee Coal ana iron
companv is condemned.
Many charges are brought against
the corporations town OF Gary, ln9,,
where the statement says a monopoly
of All necessities of life is complete and
arbitrary prices are charged FOR every,
thing. Statements of organizers and
other officials of the federation are at
tached to the charges.

Latter Had the Better
Wardrobe
Associated Pressl

MASSILLON. Ohio March GA
story unique in the history Of Ohio
crime is contained in the charge of
murder the police have laid against
Catherine ManZ, a child 16 years old.
She is accused of poisoning her sister
Elizabeth, three years her senior, with
strychnine Her motive is said to
have been jealousy of her sister s
wardrobe, more brilliant than her own.
Not guilty" was the plea entered by
the girl when arraigned before Mayor
Remley today. The warrant charges
murder in the first degree.
After a night in the Massilon Jail the
girl underwent today two hours eX-
animation. throughout which she
calmly chewed gum and affirmed her
innocence She reiterated her original
story of a mysterious man for whom
she had purchased strychnine and who
had given her two capsules, which she
says she believed contained quinine.
Her hearing will be deferred until the
Cleveland chemist makes his report.
The girl was arrested yesterday in
Akron. where she had applied for
work under the name of Ethel Morgan.
Brought here to Jail, she faced her ac-
cusers calmly and told them unemo-
tionally that her sister was dead be-
fore she left the house.
The most damaging evidence against
the girl is the admitted fact that she
purchased strychnine at a local drug
store shortly before her sisters death,
and also bought a small quantity of
chloroform. The girl claims she bought
the strychnine for a man, whose name
she has refused to divulge. The chlO-
roform she says she bought for clean
ing purposes,
The mother of the girls has been
dead for fifteen years, and. according
to GATHERINGS father, she has grown
up headstrong and absolutely beyond

Lake City last spring, he never showed
enough to give other horsemen much
hope as to his future, the fact that he
is too small to be of much service
being his greatest drawback.
Alb Clopton, we'll known in local turf
circles, has added Lady Irma to his
useful string at Jacksonville and
should be able to win his share of
races with her during the summer
bush meetings. Alb cannot stay away
from the bushes in the summer. and
now that he has Lady Irma in his
string he will find little opposition
whenever he wants to gather a sprint
purse.
Steve THommedleu. who wins and
loses fortune every change Of the
moon, run $50 into $4,000 i'm one after
noon last week at Jacksonville and cut
in next day with a book. Steve is
lucky when he gets to going and can
make tannery out of a shoestring, but
when he hits the toboggan it is of no
use for his friends to try to stop him,
as only the level ground at the bottom
can do that.
Jim Morley will go to Frisco tonight
to attend the business meeting of the
Western Bowling congress. His five
man team, with the Brunswick five
man crew, will leave next Monday for
the northern city to roll in the five
man championships that begin next
Tuesday. There are some of the best
bowlers in the west in the two teams,
and they should be factors in the indi-
Yiduals and two and fiVe-man affairs.
1t Is given out in a semi official way
that the EmeryVille meeting will be eX-
tended again at the end of the present
extension. the first week in next month.
Things are picking UP somewhat in the
north, and just as long as the horsemen
insist and there is enough money going
in to justify it the meeting will be ex-
tended until the bush league season
opens. 1t has been hard grubbing for
some Of the horsemen there this winter,
and Williams will give them every
chance possible to get their getaway
money.
An enlarged picture of the White Sox
special in the Royal gorge, taken while
