Amended Report Submitted.

The grand jury brought in an amended
report today. The charges against indi.
viduals in and out of the customs service
were not abated in the amended docu-
ment. but the terms were merely soft
ened
The court declared again that the grand
jury should not censure or praise but
should indict If there is reason for it, and
added that the district attorneys would
present the evidence accumulated by
these grand juries to the next grand in
quest for whatever action it may require.
Labors Not Lost.
Judge Foster himself alluded directly to
fraud when he remarked that the labors
Of the jury would not be lost, because
its evidence is at the command of the
district attorney. and this official, having
full power to proceed by civil suit to re-
cover any losses by the government
through the customs service, by fraudu-
lent or other improper methods
The members of the jury, on their part,
unanimously expressed great indignation
at the declaration of the judge, declaring
they had done their full duty, The jury
holds that they had found nothing to
Justify an indictment, but thought it
their duty to point attention to certain
existing abuses in the customs system.

with reach like a giraffe, went after the
first one and got it, and then he found
he couldn't be on first base and utilize the
ball at the same time, and no one else
thought of covering the bag. Next it
was Cap de Sibour's turn to tumble the
ball about as it rolled down the thrd-base
line, and Pitcher Gibson began racing it
around also. After six navy men had
hunted successfully and two or three of
them had crossed the plate the navy bat
ters began to hit the ball again. Errors
on the part of the clubmen added to the
hilarity, and then they began to make
real hits and didn't stop until Dague, the
navy left fielder. knocked out a home run.
After the Navy had rolled up eleven
runs Gibson retired and Zachary man
aged to stop the slaughter temporarily.
But an embarrassing thing happened at
this juncture. Able seamen number one
wigwagged with his flags to able seaman
number two, who was stationed over
near the scorebOard. The latter scratched
his head and hurried into the house and
returned bearing two large number ones
These he hung up side - side, but they
didn't look right-in fact, looked as if
the Navy had scored a run in the fifth
and run in the sixth. The crowd in
the grandstand began to take notice and
wonder what was the matter with the
score. Then it realized the difficulties of
the sailor, for it isn't often that team
makes eleven runs in one inning at the
ball park. and the sailor couldn't find the
proper marks. The crowd laughed good
natureQ-y.

McCeary's Story of Penn.

Mr.. McCreary told Of PENIS progeni-
tors and boyhood associations that i'm
bued him with deep religious convictions
and paved the way for his embracing the
faith of the Quakers several years la
ter. PENIS religious tribulations In the
Netherlands and England and his trial
for violating the English religious laws
were described at length.
He was tried before a jury that ac-
quilted him, but was punished despite
the verdict said the speaker. Strange
as it may seem to US in these days OF
modern justice, the trial judge fined the
jurors for not finding the verdict the
court desired. There was subsequently
an appeal, and the higher English court
Of that day upheld the jury's verdict.
THE result of PENIS appeal was to
add strength to the growing desire for
trial procedure. which eventually ended
in our present jury system"
Mr.. McCreery concluded his talk with a
recital of PENIS labors i'm America and
the foresightedness with which he laid the
foundation of the strongest English col
oly in America and, later, one of the
most influential states of the Union.

Add Four in Seventh.

In the seventh and eighth the Navy
men found Zachary for hits at will, and
errors in the field aided them. They roll
ed up four runs in the seventh. accord
ing to the official scorer, though it is
barely possible that two more men
crossed the pan without being noticed. In
the eighth Navy scored three times.
There was plenty of talent on both
teams. On the Metropolitan-Chevy Chase
team, besides Gibson. who played ball at
Yale. there was Currier. captain and
catcher of Harvard varsity team last
year. Currier made the one hit of the
afternoon for his team. clean single TO
right, and stole two bases. but he was
left at third. Currier made a wonderful
catch of high foul ball just off the
grandstand. too. that got lot of APP
plause, and he figured in the one dou-
bile, play of the day-Zachary to Currier
and Currier to Mitchell. who succeeded
Garnet on first after the lengthy one had
let few pass him. The clubmen had
become used to slamming the ball any

Garnett was there and were reasonably

MARKET, STOCK AND RANGE

last year. The market closed little frner today, when it was learned that railroad wash outs would prevent 100 car loads of stock reaching the yards in time for the market.
 Hog receipts were at minimum figures all of last week, and al though prices advanced 15 cents it was a poor showing, Packers have been devoid of the buying impulse for ten days, as they clam demand for fresh meats is slack, and that they do not need the hogs. The run to-day is 1000 head, market 10 to 20 lower, heavy hogs at $9.2O to $9.35, medium weights $9.1O to to $9.35, and light hogs up to $9.2O. The extraordinary slim receipts last week were abnormal and unless a much wider outlet developes in the fresh meat trade increased supplies will meet some hard knocks.
 Sheep and lambs declined 15 to 80 cents last week, on about normal receipts, but the down ward trend was accelerated to day, with the advent of 10000, the closing market to day taking on something of the appearance of q rout. Best clipped lambs brought $S.75 early today, but the same quality could not reach $S.5O later. and an early bid of $9. 10 on choice Colorado wooded lambs could not be realized later in the day. Fair to good Texas muttons sold at $65O today, but this price is not considered the full strength of the market, goats worth $3.5O to $500. Clipped wethers are worth up to $7.5O, and best ewes, clipped around $7.OO.

Good Citizenship

The best insurance of a great future for any city is good citi- zenship, but the Pennington (N. M.) Times Hustler, which claims a goodly share for Pennington, defines it correctly as follows:
 Good citizenship means that the city collectively IS made up of men and women, a large ma jority of whom are willing to do their duty. This duty consists not alone in observing that rela- tionship to other individuals that ages of experience and thou sands of years of law making have demonstrated to be wisest

and best, but also that relation ship to the collectively that makes for the general good.
 Good citizenship is made up of men and women who are will ing to gvie up of the1r time and money for the public good.
 Good citizenship is made up of men and women who do not wait for the officers to act, but when they know of an infrac- ton of the law, start proceed ings to see that it is properly observed.
 Good citizenship take a pride in schools, churches, streets, sidewalks, water works and all things that make for the public good"
