A TRAvesrv UPON JUSTICE.

The event discussed most widely in
Helena and about the state this week
was the exposure of the crimes of Sam
w. Langhome, Jr., an employe of the
state In the capacity of q clerk of the
state livestock commission, and the
mild punishment inflicted upon him
by Judge j. NJ. Clements at the re.
quest of Attorney General Galen. An
haoitual forger and grand larcenist
for years, Langhorne was let off with
the compsr atively nominal penalty
entailed ia q sentence OF q year in the
penitenliary, which may be reduced to
six months by parole or to eleven
months by good behavior.
Langhorne committed two crimes.
grand larceny and forgery, over and
over. He committed grand larceny
over one hundred times and forgery
In like number during the past two
years, 1t an average OF the money
stolen at each theft is placed at 5000.
for the sum total of his stealings In
that time is placed at about $40, 900.
he was clerk of the stock board for
eight years, and his offenses went
back beyond two years, though how
far will only be determined by months
OF %investig alton, according to State
Examiner Kumpe and Governor Nor.
ris. It is estimated that the none
stolen will aggregate $50, 600 or more.
All he got for penalty was a year in
prison.
Justice aud law 10 the hands of At.
torney General Galen were as the
shadow of q shadow; there we're no
stern prosecutions, just q few politely
arranged and conducted form alities:
~Langhorne was handled as tenderly
as a babe, and Judge Clements court
room dripped sentiment when this un.
fortunate youth OF thirty.two years
was "railroaded" in the gentlest fash.
ion to the pen. Only one felony charge
was pressed, and it was pressed with
kid gloves by the attorney general:
the other 200 or more will not be
urged.
Here was as perfect a t~ravesty upon
justice as the annals of crime in the
state of Montana show. But Lang.
horne grew up in Helena and ran
around with the politicians; they knew
him we'll, Horatio; they saw him spend
his money az the years passed along
the primrose path. The least that
could be done for one whom all the
politicians and %round-town fellows
knew was to make it as easy as posi-.
BILE for him.
Lately a youth of eighteen, quite a
boy compared to q man Of thirty-two,
stole one dollar and q half from two
letters in the Anaconda postofice.
Judge Rasch fined him $3.50 and
him with the federal prison
for the next offense. If Langhorne
had been fined at this rate for his
theft of go. 900, it would have cost him
y, $3.50, 600. The alternative all sentence
at 81 a day, the customary Offset, |
would have been 2.346 years in the
pen. But the Anaconda mail clerk
did not grow up in Helena, and he
not 80 we'll known.
The way Langhorne was dealt with
by the attorney general and the dis.
trict court shows that justice may be
either a playful tap with a feather or
. knockout blow with a sledge ham
mer, just according to who and what
you are, or perhaps who your play
are and what they think you
stand for in relation to themselves

PRIZE FIGHTER IS
 BADLY INJURED

New York, July S-"Kid" Bolte, local welter weight, Is in the hospital today suffering from possible fracture of tho skull, hemorrhages and other injuries received in a ten-round bout last night at the Brighton Beach Athletic club. His opponent, "Fighting Jack" Lunday of Brooklyn, has been arre,ted. The bout came off near midnight Lunday said that in the tenth round he landed se- were punch on Bolte's jaw, then swung a right to the stomach and Bolte went down. At the count of nine Bolte arose and finished the round. It appeared that later Bolte collapsed and early this morn- ing was found in stable where hAs companions had quietly carried him.

Brown of the Cubs. told me he couldn { locate the plate with the new ball - "There is no doubt the cork-center ball increases hitting in one way. If the player hits a grounder the ball acts the same as the old one. It does not bound faster or harder, as l can see. But fly travels farther. That accounts for the number of doubles, triples and home runs this year.
 There 1t is( rlfht off the bat. Ben Shibe should know. If his factory is turning out the same ball it did last fall, the answer is the pitching is not up to standard.
 It is interesting to visit the factory, where 24,O00 balls are turned out daily. The output is s,O0O0O0 a year. The cost is about S2,500,0O0.
 For 30 years the Shibes have tried to improve the ball. Years ago the balls had rubber centers, but complaint or

REFEREE JUMPS
 INTO THE GAME

New York, July S.-After Dave Deshler of Boston had beaten Paddy Sullivan in ten-round glove fight at the Twentieth Century Athletic club last night, there was a small sized riot. A spectator at the ringside made an offensive remark to the referee, Charley White, as he jumped out of the ring. The spectator aimed a blow att White, who promptly sprang at him and caught him by the throat. A rough and tumble fight followed. Chairs were overturned as the fighters wrestled. punched and choked each other White finally knocked his assailant down. By that time there was a wild uproar all over the house. The spectator managed to struggle to his feet and somebody tore off his shirt Then special policemen stopped the trouble.

Mobile. July S-(Special.)-Bert Max well and Al Demaree hooked up Ill nrettv pitchers battle this afternoon, ootn Yyirling magnificent ball, and While er- rors by Shortstop Ellam paved the way to both of Mobiles runs, Birmingham got her lone tally on a wild pitch. Demaree had the better of the argument In that ha was strong with men on the bases' while most of the hits got off MaXweE cane when they were needed, and atler nisplays had placed men on the sacks The final score was to l.
 Birmingham got her lone tally Of the game in the second inning, resulting rom two hits, a base on balls, hit pa's- man and wild pitch, Demaree alone De- Ing responsible for the run. However sfter the Gulls tied the game up In the efth inning on a two-bagger, scratch single and Ellam's wild throw Demaree pitched effective ball, and though Barohs reached the sacks time and time again. thev were always left stranded. Demaree frightened up wonderfully when danger threatened, and held the Barons oil long enough for the Gulls to put over one more run. which proved enough to win.
 The winning run came in the seventh lh- ming. a rally starting with one gone, when Dunn beat out an infield scratch to Ellam and took second when the Baron short stop threw high to first. Demaree drew pass. Maag catching the entire Baron infield off it's guard, bunted down the third base line and beat 1t out nlllng the sacks. Bayless then hit safely 10 left and Dunn scored. Miller lined out to right and Yantz doubled Demaree at the plate, the latter trying to score after he had fallen down in starting away from third.
 The Barons had lots of chances to win the game, but the needed bingle was not forthcoming when needed. For instance in the s.=th inning. with men on second and third, the Barons had chance to score, but Ellam and Maxwell were not equal to the occasion. Again in the sew entn the Barons had two left on the \ spaths, while Wagner skied out and Elliott grounded out from third to first, nine men left on bases telling the story of tho eneetive pitching of Demaree when dan ger threatened.
 Fast and well played all the way through, with the exception of the thre' misplays by Ellam, the game was inter esting and exciting, Each team threat ened to win several times. Maxwell hold ing the Gulls away from the plate anC keeping them from breaking the tie un- til the three hits and Ellam's error al lowed the winning run to cross the plate.
 Burleson. the strike-out 'phenom,' to- day asked to be sent back against the Barons tomorrow, and Manager Swacina will grant his request. Manager Moles- sworth has not stated who will Atwirl for the Barons but it will likely bd Trough as Moley will try hard to win theiremain- ing game.

Philadelphia, July s.-Imagination Is wonderful thing. It made baseball play CTS and fans believe new ball was be- ing tried out in the major and some minor leagues this spring. That was re- sponsible for the bombardment Of pitch CTS.
 As matter of fact, the ball in use today was used in the major leagues last summer after August.
 This statement is made by Ben Shibe, president of the Philadelphia American league club, and the man who makes both the "Spalding" and the Reach" balls.
 Here is Shibes words:
 Last season we got out the cork ball we are now making and it was used in both the American and National leagues after August. You didn't hear much about extra base hitting then. This year we have complaints from some pitchers.

 When a ball Is made it goes from one set of men to another First the rubber center weighing one ounce Is placed In winding machine which covers 1t with two ounces of soft gray woolen yarn. Another machine adds an ounce of white twine and another adds another layer of gray twine. From the last machine the hall comes as hard as a bullet.
