you so often meet through life over whom
no one seems to enthuse, but for whose
honesty integrity and general desire to do
the best thing for the greatest number,
everybody swears by. He has been sue
cess as president of the Chamber of Com
merce, and the business men of the city
universally give him credit for the good
work he has done. In the attempt to get
the two bodies together it can be said with
out fear of successful contradiction and al
most without fear of having any one to
speak adversely, that he will not put
straw in the way of the union even though
it sacrificed him officially in being brought
about.
Within the past ten days two Seattle
policemen have been found guilty in the
superior court of felonies, and one, Burns,

JAMES D. LOWMAN, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Seattle is very
much in the eye of the public just now, so
far as Seattle is concerned, owing to the
fact that the business men of the city are
endeavoring to unite the Chamber of Com
MERGE with the Commercial Club Mr.. Low
man has always been an ardent worker for
the good of Seattle, and, it can be said of
him. he would not hesitate to resign from
the presidency of the chamber, though he
was unanimously elected president of the
body, if he thought it would result in the
bringing about the best results for the

JAMES w. MAXWELL is the embodi-
ment of square dealing and has never been
charged with being selfish in any transac-
tions with his fellow man by any reliable
person, and for the most part not by any
unreliable person, with one exception,
which appeared in the columns of an unsig-
nihcant weekly paper published in Seattle
a couple of weeks ago. The success OF the
Commercial Club is largely due to his I'M
firing work since he has been president OF
the body, and he himself is not standing IN
the way of the Commercial Club coalescng
with the Chamber of Commerce, but he IS
not the whole push and the members OF the
executive committee of the Commercial
Club, are perfectly willing for the
union but insist that the same democratic
way of electing officers of the new concern
he nracticed as has been followed in the

crime. This heinous crime
was committed months ago
and the man was convicted
last Tuesday, and yet no

papers about the Burly

eight-year-old girl has been
seen. Had one of the sol

cool her off.

selling is common to every

NEW HAVEN RETRENcHMENTS.
Freight Service Reduced and Improve
ments Discontinued.

New Haven, CT, April lin the
last annual report of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad an
official estimate was made for the
present fiscal year of a net inerease
in operating expenses of $S55000 due
to the balance of increased wages
over added passenger receipts. 1t is
now stated authoritatively that the
retrcnchments of the last few weeks
on tile system have been On a scale
that for year would nearly or quite
cover the wage additions. While
economies. many of them have been
made in the operating department,
they also include some discontinuance
of improvements and greatly reduced
purchases of new material. Freight
train service has been reduced con-
sderably but there has thus far been
but slight change Of passenger train
operations. Discharges and reduced
hours have already affected more than
1000 hands and the retrenchment will
continue.

Textile Markets Quiet with

Retailers Showing a Tendency to

morrow will say:
The trade movement is disappoint-
insly slow, Notwithstanding the funda-
mentally sound industrial and agri-
euitaral conditions. The earlier out
look of the year f3r increased activity
has not been confirmed and reports
from the largest trades are of re-
cession rather than of progress. Yet.
SO great are the daily needs of this
immense nation that the volume Of
transactions is larger than the tone
of The market reports would indi-
cate.
Primarily textile markets rule quiet
with more firnness shown in cotton
goods. and yarns but buyers are not
satisfied as TO the stability of the
higher prices and have withdrawn
from the market The curtailment of
operations in cotton mill centers is
increasing and only 105.000 pieces of
print cloths We're sold during last
Week at Fall River. of which 1000
were spots. Agitation of the tariffs
affecting cottons and woolens is nat
urally causing hesitation. and coupled

conservative but the market is well

" "Addie' Joss Dies
at Toledo Home.

Toledo. Ohio, April 14.-Adrian C.
Joss. better known in the baseball
world as "Addie," well-known pitcher
of the Cleveland American League
baseball team. died at his home here
at 1.4o o'clock this morning. Death
was due to tubercular meningitis from
which he had been a sufferer since last
Sunday. Joss was 81 years old. A
widow and two children survive. He
was 32d degree Mason and a MEM
Der of the Mystic Shrine.
The Cleveland American League
team was here last Sunday and at that
time Joss made it known to Charles
Somers, owner of the Cleveland club
that he was not feeling well. At that
time it was thought that Joss condi-
ton was not serious. He was confined
to his home, however, and was under
the care of DR.. George w. Chapman,
and a nurse. Joss condition grew
gradually worse but hopes for his uti-
mate recovery We're held out until last
night, when his condition grew rapidly
worse. He was conscious to the end
and spoke to his nurse few minutes
before death.
JoSS joined the Cleveland club in
1908 under the management of William
K. Armour, present owner of the To-
ledo club.
He became one of the premier pitch
ers of the country and had the honor
Oh pitching no hit, no run game
against the Chicago White Sox in
1908, his opponent being Ed. Walsh.
Last year Joss pitching arm became
injured while he was in Philadelphia.
He was sent to his home in this city
and specialists examined it and found
that the trouble was in the elbow. He
continued having it treated and for a
time it looked as if he would recover
the use of his arm.
Trainer White of the Cleveland club
treated Joss arm for several weeks
this winter and early this spring pro-
nounced the pitcher in condition to
take up his duties in the box.
Joss began his baseball career in
Juneau, Wis, in 1898. with a semi
professional team. He was discover
ed by Charles J. Strobel at that time
owner of the Toledo club in the Inter-
state League. Joss Joined the Toledo
club and was Immediately one of the
star tWirlers of the league.

reports of the annual Oxford Cam
bridge boat race week ago last Sat
urday some facts regarding this great
series of English Varsity races which
are OF interest to every college oars
man and rowing enthusiasts. The first
race was rowed in 1929, and in the 50
contests oxford has won 81 and Cam
bridge %. The OXonians have twice
accomplished a nine-Near sequence of
wins from 1861 To 1869 and again from
1870 to 1898, inclusive. The Cantabs
longest run has ben five years, from
1870 to 1874. Tie race of 1877 resulted in
a dead heat, while the only foul that
he's occurred was in lS49, and 10 Years
later the Cambridge crew sank during
the race. oxford's eight of last year
was the heaviest crew to row in the
race, although in the first of the series
oxford had IA man who weighed 206
pounds. one 0xonian can boast the
proud distinction of having steered in
five winning crews. but no oarsman has
yet rowed in five victorious races, al
though numerous men from both uni
versities have taken part in that num-
berthe eXpediency of which was hot
~ discussed during the season just

Charley Harvey. manager of Owen

command to force Knockout" Brown
into the ring with his English light
weight boxer. Having failed to bribe
Danny Morgan. who looks after the
interests OF Brown. by offering to make
him a present of $1,000 when the boys
put up their hands, he has resorted to
what he is pleased to call statement
of facts and a campaign of vilifcation
in answer to Morgan's screed refusing
to accept the proffered gift, and winds
up by asking if Brown is afraid to
meet Moran. HarTey'S latest letter fol-
lows: Abuse is no argument. but it is
the only excuse or argument by Dan
Morgan apparently for his refusal to
put Knockout" Brown into the ring
with owen Moran. He reverts to de-

the ma jority of newspapers of that city
condemned the decision as unjust and
unfair. As for the question of superb
ority. it might not be amiss to mention
that Moran defeated Tommy Murphy
three times, twice in New York
and once in Boston. Paraphras-
ing Shakespeare, upon what meat
doth this mighty Knockout feed that
