Why They Would Repeal the Law.


"A writer NJ the Boston Transcript
SAYS: The fact is that the liquor in
teresYs of the country want the prohi-
bition law destroyed, and they are un-
doubtedly spending much money to
this end. The liquor journals and the
talk of liquor men, in office and ON the
street, shows this clearly, and it is
safe for the friends of humanity to
vote exactly opposite to the wishes of
the brewer and dstiller. Their oppo
sition to prohibition is complete proof
that prohibition does prohibit"
We would add to the writer's decla-
ration, that if prohibition does not pro-
hibit to the extent to which the oppo-
nents of prohibitory law claim il
should, 1t as least prohibits to an ex-
tent that makes every manufacturer
and dealer in intoxicants hater of the
law, because it reduces the revenue
which he would derive under license
system.
The same writer asks: WHO is to
blame for this so-called disrespect of
law" Ito which the rum trust friends
so often and so DANGEROUSLY refer). He
goes on to state that the newspapers
of Boston recently announced that IS
per cent of the scales and measures of
the city are inaccurate. and he de-
paapds. tDoac anvona an THE account
ask that the law be repealed and the
commission of weights and measures
abolished" He goes on to say that
the laws against impure milk and ice
cream are daily violated, and wishes

milder laws to suit criminals and thus
stop the contempt of law.
1t occurs to US that with all the cry
against @hypocrisy' and perjury" and
contempt of law" that the criminals
of Maine have no less contempt of
prohibitory law than have any other
classes of criminals in any other state
for any law which they can violate to
and encouragement Of large class of
the public. Were it not for this en-
cours cement and the cunning evasions
of the law which are invented by the
manufacturers of intoxicants, the CON
tempt Of the prohibitory law would be
no more strongly marked than the dis.
regard for any other law.
The writer again declares that il

were so 600 arrests for drunkenness ant

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
A DISTURBING INFLUENCE
Moroccan Situation Causes Marked
 Recession in Prices.

New York, Sept. 10.-The effect of the demoralization of the Berlin bourse because of the Moroccan dis turbance was seen on the stock ex- change yesterday, when, under pres sure of heavy selling for German &C., count, prices receded.
 This selling for Berlin, direct and through London, was taken advantage of by professional bears to attack values, and evidence was not lacking that large Chicago interests were also raiding the market.
 In view of the break in prices little attention was paid the news develop ments of the day that were highly fav- orable. The American Railway asso- citation reported a heavy decrease in idle cars, and bank clearings for Au- gust showed a big increase. Reports o1 exports and imports of general mer- chandise from this port in the first week of Sept ember were also good, the value of exports increasing two and three-quarters millions and imports decreasing four and a. half millions. compared with the corresponding week in 1910.
 The bank statement was later than had been anticipated in view of heavy withdrawals. The actual statement Of clearing house trust companies and banks showed a decrease of s9Oo, 900 in cash, an increase of sS, 900, 900 in loans and a decrease of surplus reserves alone of s2,200,000 The decrease in surplus reserves of banks alone was s1, 800 900.

BALTIC JUslLATES
 OVER DEFEATING TAFTViLLE
Butch" Cote for the B. A. C. Held
 the Leaeuers Down.

Sunday afternoon the Baltic Ath- letic club lined up against the Taft vile Eastern Connecticut league team for their annual game. The result was just what Baltic expected, since their team came out victorious II to g. VIzth the old reliable Butch Cote in the box, there was nothing doing for Taftville. Butch had them going for fair. After the first three innings were rung off. the way he had them swinging the bats trying to connect was caution to any big league as pirant. And as for their part Taftvllle went in with the idea that he could do juest as he pleased with the B. A. C.. players and get away with 1t. But they soon found out that if they kept him in there with that idea in his head there would be a repetition of the Occum game, so they shipped him to first and sent White in to try his luck He lasted one inning and then Krodel was sent in and he succeeded in holding us down for the rest of the game, but, while am relating this tale of what Baltic did, Taftville was doing some pretty good work, and by squeezing a run across now and then they succeeded in running up nine tal- lies, but that was not enough to win, for Baltic had Il runs to their credit when time was called. That left the score 11-9 when the scorer reckoned it up. Yes, sir; there is some class to Baltic and if anybody has got an idea that they can bring up a team to beat us, let us know by wireless, P.

TRAcY's PARTING SHOT. Foolish, Petty, Childish SquabbIes of Connecticut League Directors Make Him Sick,

President William J. Tracy of the Connecticut State Baseball league, for the past five years, and whose. resig- nation of the office, was announced ing shot in quitting the job. He gives seven reasons for. his resignation as folIows:
 1-"Becauses each manager without exception has thrown the idea of the general welfare of the Connecticut time to look out for his own pocket.
 "A president of this league, under the conditions at present existing has absolutely no authority. He can make no rules His decisions are laughed at by the directors and he is given absolutely no support.
 3-The managers join in general clamor for action following any viola tion of the rules. and squeal like stuck pigs when the head of the league, aft CT Investigating the case, renders his decision and it happens to go against any of them.
 4-"The selfishness of the managers in looking out for their own interests and allowing matters of the utmost importance to the league to take care of themselves.
 5L"The fighting and petty squab- bles of the various. managers among themselves is nauseating. It is child ish. No league can be conducted in any kind of successful fashion with the present spirit shown.
 6-tThe present conditions of the league axe disgrace and I am eagerly waiting for the time to come when I will be able to say that l am through with the business.
 7-"Five years of this has been enough for me. God help the man that takes up the position that l now throw aside.''
 In further commenting on the do- ings of the league this year. he says that it has been shame and dis grace to the national game. AS so- lution of the problem he says: '
 Tn my mind there is but one rem edy. If the next man who is elected forces the directors who choose him to sign a three-year contract giving him full power to act on matters that come up and demand action the league affairs will improve. lVtrn the pres ent mana gers, however, there is little possibility that such thing will take place.

Last Inning Settled Championship Springfield Grabbed the Stae Baseball Title in Final Chance at Bat-Defeated Bridgeport Sunday, 3 to ?
 President Tracy Boosts Jim o'Rourke For Next President.

New Haven Conn, Sept 10.-It was not until the ninth inning of the game between Bridgeport and Springfield to- day that the championship of the Con- necticut state baseball league for the season of 1911~was decided. and that inning gave the pennant to Springfield. The race for the past two or three weeks has been a close one, the three leading teams, Springfield, Bridgeport and Hartford, all being factors at one time or another, but the past week practically narrowed the race down to Bridgeport and the pennant winners of today.
 Bridgeport Had a Chance.
 When the two first teams went on to the field today Springfield had won TO and lost 45 and Bridgeport had won Il and lost 46. Waterbury, last years pennant winner. finished the Hast of the six teams. Hartford is third New Haven fourth and New Britain fifth.
 Waters Sent in Deciding Run.
 Miller, Sprinsfield's figst baseman, carried off the honor of making the run in the ninth inning today that de- feated Bridgeport and won the cham pionship race, and Waters, the catcher, was responsible for the run by making a double with Miller on second. The game was witnessed by one of the largest crowds that has attended a league game on Steeplechase Island.
 State League on Troubled Waters.
 The close of the 1911 season finds the Connecticut league in a rather un- settled state with but six clubs. With the opening of the season there were eight clubs, as in past years, the six that finished the race and Northampton and Holyoke in Massachusetts. The patronage at the games of these two clubs was not sufficient to make them a financial success, though they were playing fairly good ball, especially Northa m pton, and at a meeting of the league directors the franchises of the two teams were taken away from the owners. An effort on the part of lovers of the game in Northampton to assume the financial cares of the team was not listened to by the directors and baseball, as far as a league team. be- came a dead issue in that place.
 Strengthened Waterbury Out.
 Not long after the disbanding of the two Massachusetts teams there was trouble in the Waterbury team. which was running under a new owner The difficulties were of a financial nature and the outcome was the taking away of the franchise from the owners bv the league directors and giving it to Dan O'Neil. who at the time was the owner of the New Britain team. The New Britain team he sold to I. T. Murphy of Bristol and the two teams
