With the Nationals,


P1TTSBURG, July 4.-CharHe Beck
er. the young National pitcher. has so
impressed Manager McAleer with his
I latent abilities that he will most likely
make his debut this week at National
Park against either the Detroit Tigers
or the Cleveland Naplanders. Young
Becker Is confident that he will show
some class, though he isn't saying that
he'll win.
II haven't been working much this
season." says Becker. I've pitched
some games around Warrington. but
not enough to make me hard. When I
Joined the Nationals in Chicago my
legs were stiff from lack Of running
around, and while We were in St Louis
raced around that outfeld TO
strengthen my legs and improve my
wind. I'm about in shape now for some
real work.
Manager McAleer was told Of Beeksr's
condition and was perfectly willing to
let him get into shape before taking
his place on the mound.
The boy is built right for pitch
and not too light. He looks as If he
might be there with the goods. The
batters say he has plenty of 'stuni
on the ball and that's what counts
these days, plenty of 'stuff' and lot
of speed behind it, If Becker has. all
this in a regular game, 1 don't see
why he can't make good. Certainly
we need pitchers with this team and
I'm not going to let promising lads
get away"
There will be no morning practice
tomorrow, the players using the time
to catch UP on their sleep before tack
ling the toughest team in the league
right now. the Detroit Tigers.

expected to arrive tomorrow morn

Not for Connie.

That shrewd baseball tacdcian, Connie
Mack, who more than once has proved
his ability to get together great ball
clubs without great financial outlays,
has evidently learned his lesson from
his experience with Lefty" Russell.
Last year Mack departed from his
usual course and paid a large price for
the Baltimore southpaw only to find
later that he had received little in re-
turn for his money. A couple Of weeks
ago most of the big teams in both
leagues started bidding for O'Toole, the
American Association sensation, but in
all the list Of those who were anxious
for the promising twirler, Mack was
never mentioned.
He became wiser from his dealings in
the Russell case and is now back in his
old stride going into the bushes and
colleges and getting the mep upon
whom he will rely on some future date

For Addie Joss Game

CLEVELAND, Ohio. July A.-The
greatest aggregation of ball players
ever got together will line up this after
noon when the AIl-Star team of the
American League players meets the
Maps in benefit game for the widow
and children of the late Adrian Joss,
former star pitcher of Cleveland.
Early subscriptions and advance
sales amounted to nearly $4,000, and it Is
believed the game will net close to
$4,000 for Mrs. Joss. The weather
was cold and threatening. but it was
announced that nothing but a heavy
rain would stop the game.

4 j Hopper shot BY Brother.

Nicola. las. l.. Hopper. aged 81
years, q prominent farmer living
seven miles north Of this city and
former president Of the National Du-
row Jersey Swinebreeders' association,
was shot and probably fatally injur-
ed by his brother. Percy Hopper.
Percy Hopper, who is 10 years OF
age. was captured in Boomer town
ship, Pottawattamie county and turn
ed over to the Harrison county au'
thorities, where the shooting occurr'
ed.
The shooting, which occurred IN
the field of the injured man, was said
to have followed a quarrel between
the two brothers concerning the load
ing Of grain. 1t is said, however,
that there has been trouble between
the two men for some time concern
ing money matters, Percy Hopper
having been in the employ OF his
brother for about one year.
The bullet, which was from a 81
caliber revolver, struck Hopper In
the left breast and lodged below the
heart. Owing to Hopper's condition
it was impossible to probe for the
bullet. Young Hopper was taken to
the county Jail at Logan in Harrison
county to await the result of the
shooting.
s. l.. Hopper is wealthy and Is one
of the best known swine breeders OF

PAINTER ELIMINATES TAFT
Presidents Name Is Brought in Lori.
mer Case for First Time BY
Kentucky Senator.

Washington.-For the first time
since the debate in the senate in
the case of Senator William Lorimer
of Illinois began mention was made Of
the reported interest of the president
in the unseating Of that senator.
The reference was by Senator
Paynter Of Kentucky, who was mem
Der of the subcommittee which made
the investigation into the charges
Declaring the question to be judi
cial one. Mr.. Paynter said:
Il did not approach the investiga-
ton with any feeling or thought that
the country demanded victim to APP
pease its wrath, or that any member
of this body, If such a demand was
made. would subsequently yield to it.;
neither did l suppose that sacriflcal
offering would be made Of the accused
senator to satisfy a popular demand,
nor did suppose it was necessary to
, do so to give character and standing
to the administration"
Having brought the president int
the discussion, the Kentucky senator
professedly undertook to eliminate
him from it. Referring to the fire.
quent assertion in the public press that
the president is using his personal, II
not his ozicial. influence against Mr..
Lorimer, Mr.. Paynter said he desired
to resent the imputation against the
president.

TAFT FORB|DS WAR
SENDS ORDER TO HAITI AND SAN
DOMINGO TO STOP
.. QUARREL.
PROTEcTORATE GIVES RIGHT
United States Guarantees Dominican
Debt and Has Power to Inform Hal
tians They Cannot Interfere With
American Interests.

Washington.-That there must be no
war between Haiti and San Domingo
was the peremptory order issued by
President Taft Tuesday night to the
American minister at San Domingo.
This is the first time that such an
order has ever gone from the White
House. The order Is made possible
by the fact that the United States, by
guaranteeing San Domingo's debt to
European nations, made of that repub-
lie protectorate Of this government.
and consequently gave the United
States the power to tell Haiti that she
cannot interfere with American politi-
cal institutions in San Domingo.
The act Of the president with regard
to San Domingo and Haiti illustrates
what will be the effect of the establish
ment of the proposed moral and f1nan-
cial protectorate over Honduras. With
ten millions of American money invest
ed in Honduras and with the conven-
ton recently signed by Secretary
Knox and the minister of Honduras,
the president can, when the occasion
demands, forbid either Guatemala or
Nicaragua to attack Honduras and for
bid hostilities at any time between
Honduras and any Central American
state.
San Domingo and Haiti have been
quarreling for over year about
frontier line San Domingo claimed the
right to extend one Of her roads across
the traditional border. and this brought
up the old question of the frontier.
Both nations armed for the conflict
and sent troops to the scene Of trouble.
The president offered his good Of
fees. There were some perfunctory
the armies remained in camp.
