DENVER TEAM HERE.
Grizzlies Work Out at Skene's Park
Today.

The special car of the Denver Griz-
zlies in which the team has been tour
ing the south was uncoupled at the
Rock Island yards this morning with
Owner James McGiI, Manager Jack
Hendricks, the Denver team and d
trio of sport scribes aboard.
Arrangements were soon made for
the use of the Skene ball park this
afternoon and the Grizzlies are taking
their afternoon workout there. The
Denver aggregation is enroute to Lin
coin for their opening series beginning
Friday.
They will leave here at IL o'clock
tonight and arrive in Lincoln in the
morning. Their final practice will be
held there tomorrow.
The Denver squad is in fine shape
with the exception of Outfielder Ken
worthy, who has been a sensation on
the training trip. This new man
sprained an ankle yesterday and will
be out of the running for several
weeks His injury places the Grizzly
outfieId in crippled position because
they have no other man for the gar
den spot and a pitcher will have to fill
the bill.
Bad weather has hindered the sue
cess of the touring innovation in the
Western league and the management
is in doubt as to advisability of such
an expenditure in view of the uncer-
tain results.

Washington, April 19--The Kansas
delegation in congress stands divided
on the subject of Canadian reciprocity.
Representatives Campbell, Rees. Jack
son, Young and Senators Curtis and
Bristow will cast their vote against the
bill. Representatives Murdock, Madi
son and Mitchell indicate their inten-
ton to support the measure. Mr. An
thony is yet undecided as to how he
will vote but says it is very likely he
i'll vote for the Canadian bill. Some
weeks ago Senator Curtis sent out 70
Kansas nearly one hundred thousand
letters requesting opinions of the peO-
pie on Canadian reciprocity.
The thousands of replies coming in
daily plainly indicate the position Of
. majority of Kansas people ON this
subject. Fully 50 per cent of the peo-
pie of the state declare themselves un-
alterably opposed to reciprocity.

York.

New York, April 19.-With solemn
ceremony and in the presence of a
notable gathering of clergy and laity,
the completed portions of the cathe-
dral of ST. John the Divine, on Morn

day according to the rites of the
Protestant Episcopal church. The i'm
pressive offices were presided over by

the function were Archbishop Farley,
representing the Roman Catholic
church; Archbishop Platon of the
Greek church, and the representatives
of many other communions presidents
of universities and officers of city, state
and nation.
The ceremonial began with the pro-
cession of ecclesiastics, preceded by
the vested choir of boys, across the
huge mass of gray stone, still out
wardly crude, but representing an i'm
portant step in the work of making
the cathedral of St. John the Divine
the fourth largest cathedral in the
world.
Within the structure. where many
beauties of the decorative scheme al
ready have been worked out the pro-
cession proceeded under the great
dome and with impressive ceremonies
the presentations of the chapel of st.
Saviour and St Columbia and of the
altar, organ and choir were. formally
made and the conservation ceremonies
performed. Music from the great or
gan and choir, played a notable part
in the ceremonial.
Bishop Greer preached the sermon
of the day, dwelling on the value of
the present day cathedral as a force
for righteousness in modern life.

the following statement regarding the
cashier and the bank today:
THE Home State bank of Upton,
Kan, was organized February 20,
1909. with E. F. Burns as cashier.
November 8, 1910. the bank was eX-
amined and it's condition was good.

ton was made and we mistrusted that
everything was not as it should be and
began a secret investigation.

''I instructed Assistant Bank Com
missioner Watson to go to Upton and
charge the cashier with forgeries of
about $4,000 Mr.. Watson picked the
forged notes out of the case and
charged the cashier with the crime
and after some discussion he admitted
his guilt.

was discharged and complaint filed
by this department with the county
attorney demanding his prosecution.
1.-The report that Burns will not be
prosecuted is not correct so far os
this department is concerned as the
county attorney has been furnished
the information by the department
and requested to proceed. The direc-
tors and stockholders of the bank are
prominent and wealthy citizens OF
that community and no embarrass-
ment will result to the bank on ac-
count of the defalcation of Burns"

their line and advanced and twice
were repulsed. After the third re-
pulse I returned to Aqua Prieta and
found the men left lin the town hao
been drinking and were in bad shape:
1 ordered the boxes of beer that had
been opened destroyed.
''I left a guard over other unopened
cases, but before returning to the mr.
ing line found one of our officers
drinking and allowing other soldiers
to drink. I had troops disarm him
and place him in the guard house.
During the day I had no opportun-
ity to return from the firing line.
"In the dusk the enemy concentrat-
ed a heavy attack on the center of our
line. Garcia's men had been drinking
and had deserted their trenches with
the exception of six MexicanS and
three Americans. When Garcia no
ticed this he left his position and
rushed into the camp to get ammuni-
tion and round up his men but found
them dispersed through the town and
so drunk they could not return to the
trenches.
Before he could get back to the
central trenches the enemy had ad-
vanced and had taken them. In
formed of this by a scout, I gave or
dera for our troops to mount their
horses and prepare to evacuate so that
we could form a new stronghold in
the adjacent hills.
AT this point man with shatter-
ed hip appealed to me for help. 1

beyond this line an American soldier
arrested me. From this time on I

Rebel Help Came Too Late.
Aqua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico. April 10.
When darkness fell over Aqua Prietd
last night it was undetermined whether
Lieutenant Colonel Diaz's federal
troops would retain undisputed possess
sion of the city, or whether rebel re-
endorsements appearing suddenly from
the westward late in the afternoon
would precipitate another battle.
Watchers were surprised after a day of
quietude to see a column of troops
move out of the mountain passes,
twelve miles to the west of Aqua Prieta,
and debouch upon the plains in front
of the city. 1t was at first uncertain
federal re-enforcements coming from
Cananea.
The doubt was soon dispelled. The
column began it's march directly to-
ward the city. The men were mounted
and were riding rapidly. Soon it was
the approa ching force was insurrectos.
AS they approached the outer breast
works of the, city the federal outposts
opened upon them a long range rife
fire which fell short. The column
halted, seemingly taken by surprise.
Apparently the approaching rebels
were unaware of the actual situation
in Aqua Prieta and uncertain whether
the border town was held by friend or
foe. Finally the column wheeled
about and started to return toward the
mountains. Then it halted again.
AS it stopped this time, there ap-
peared at the mouth of the mountain
canyon from which the first troop had
emerged a second and longer column.
This second detachment moved slowly
across the desert and Joined the first.
There were apparently more than five

DON'T COLOR THE NEWS.
Senator Lafe Young Dep1ores Tend
ency to Exaggerate.

Columbia. Mo-, April 19.-Punctuating
his remarks with excerpts from his own
experience as an active newspaper man,
former Senator Lafayette Young of
Iowa. last night told the students of
the University of Missouri of the great
responsibilities and the equally great
opportunity of newspapers as molders
of public opinion.
He said in part:
Every year adds to the power of
the press. Every year adds to the edi-
a hurry. They read the headlines. AS
a consequence, the editors responsible
ity is transferred to the headline writer.
The headline writer who exaggerates,
which is without shadow of excuse
Continuing, the speaker said:
"There may be newspaper men who
would like to see war. There may be
spectators along the border who would
like to see war. But if there is a war
and an invasion of Mexico, it ought to
be upon more substantial grounds than
for the purpose of furnishing excite
ment for the newspapers.
81 confess to grave doubts about
news which 1 read he said. 'I have
doubted the news from the Mexican
border. Bright young fellows are sent
there to dig up something, and they
must dig up
ID0 managers OIL newspapers OuSnG
to call a halt on all their sensational
correspondents wherever located. A
high wind should not be called a cy-
clone. A stray shot from the Mexican
side of the line ought not to be called
a battle
Turning from war to politics, he said:
Though party lines are not clearly
defined, there has never been as much
misrepresentation in politics in the his
tory of American life as in the past
eight years. What living man knows
the exact truth about Ballinger or Pin
chot? What paper furnishes the exact
facts without malice? What newspa-
per should a subscriber take today to
get the uncolored news from the ma
tional capital?
Every politician of any note in the
national capital is compelled to have
a news bureau of his own. The most
successful statesman has one of the
best bureaus.
There are some exceptions to these
rules; there are men in public life who
do not do these things, and there are
newspapers which do not do them. We
can all wish that there were more men
and more newspapers above such pro-
ceedings."

"If the amount of ground available

the early vegetables have been re-
