Announcement.

THE NEWS is fortunate in secur
 ing the services of R. L. Sharp, an experienced newspaper solicitor, who will aim in the next two weeks to visit every person in Williams and vicinity not a subscriber to this paper. THE NEWS realizes that there are large number of people who would readily take the paper, and perhaps have been intending to for some time. but for some reason have not got around to it. These are the people whom THE NEWS feels it has not been treating just right in not sho wing them it wants the business and will go after it-though the reason for this dereliction is due to lack of time on the part of it's editor and nc other reason. It is almost needless to say that to boost live locaI paper is boost also for the town

A Close Call

Gregorio Saldbaz, an employe of the sawmill, was married at g o'clock last Saturday night. After the wedding dance was given at Silvernail hall. Later in the even ing the bridal party repaired to a restaurant for supper and then went to the home of the bride and groom. One of the party had for gotten some article of wearing apparel. when leaving the supper tab ble and Saldbaz went back to get it. He was intercepted on his re- turn by three Mexicans. They. were wrathy at not having been in- vited to the dance Saldbaz ex- plained that it was a free-for-a all affair and no invitations had been issued. The trio refused to accept the excuse and one of them pulled his gun and shot Saldbaz. The bullet entered his mouth, pierc. ed the tongue, carried away several teeth and was extracted at the back of the neck. The wounded man was taken to the county hos pital. At last accounts he was out of danger. One of the would be assassins is in custody; the other two are still at large, but the off . cers are hopeful of rounding them up within few days.

Williams vs. Winslow.

After the businessmen had played four innings, the WinsloW team crossed bats with the Williams nine. The WinslC vs were completely outclassed. They never had look in. Before the end of the seventh inning Winslow quit, as. the score was 32 to 2 in favor of Williams. The score could have been 50 to 0 if the home boys had wanted it 50. Hester pitched only one inning of real" ball. In that inning none of the Winslows req ched first base. Williams came 10 the bat and made 10 runs in the first inning.
 The only feature of the game was the striking out of Barclay by Hes- 4

TWO BALL GAMES AT
 PARK LAST SUNDAY

me businessmen or WllllamS played game of ball last Sunday that was full of thrilling features, mingled with sensational batting and remarkable putouts.
 pr. Melick's "Outlaws" won from Al Lebsch's "Demons" by a score of 10 to 7, but the Demons say if they had played one more inning they would have made the Outlaws look like 30 cents, Mex.
 Mayor Stark was umpire. He entered the diamond with a six shooter in his hand and a shotgun on his shoulder. There was no wrangling and no player had the hardihood to protest against any decision rendered. A glance at the armament carried by the mayor was sufficient to subdue the wrath of the most belligerently inclined.
 In the second inning, while the Outlaws were at bat. some thought there were only two out, especially the outfielders. The mayor said "three out" The outfielders re- mained in position until the um. pire turned his shotgun on them then they turned double somersaults getting toward the home plate.
 Fred Shaw, manager of the Har- vey house, was pitcher for the Demons and F. E. Lowe catcher. Shaw put them over the plate like an old timer and Lowe hung onto every one of them. Ben Sweetwood pitched for the Outlaws, while Ole Preysz caught. and Ole sure hung on to every thing that came his way like grim death to dead Ethiopia n Sweetwood is a southpaw pitcher He had the Demons guessing until they caught on to his vicious in and out shoots. Captain Melick was quick to observe that his southpaw man was getting a little weak, and substituted Marion Smith, who held the Demons to small margin oi hits. In fact Smith was so effect. i've that even Joe Blumber couldn't touch his wonderful curves.
 J. M. Holub. the crack short stoI for the Demons, pulled off a couple of stunts that elicited the applause of the spectators, while Jerry Duffy the center fielder, did some excel lent work in that position.
 Jim Kennedy, second basemar for the Outlaws, pulled one dowr from the clouds in a manner tha won the admiration of the on lockers. Jim is some batter, too He landed on Shaw for two three baggers and he went around thu diamond like quarter horse.
 Jud Rounseville was the sta batter for the Demons. He knocked home run that landed close t the pest house. It took Rees' about ten minutes to get it back il the field.
 Dr. Jeffries pulled off a couple o Ty Cobb plays. that helped to vii the game for the Outlaws. Mat Ern had them all going when h came to the bat, while Cap tain Melick ran bases like foo racer and made some good hits Captain Lebsch of the Demons wa there with the goods, only he hal bad luck running from second t third base. He fell, and then fel again. but managed to reach thir base safely.
 The game was more interestin and enjoyable than that played b the league teams, owing to. the one sided affair of the latter.

BOY VICTIM
 OF REVENGE
Frantic Messages Sent Far and
 Wide For Abducted Lad
Special from United Prt

Special from United Press
 Philadelphia, April 5-F'rantic mes sages are being rushed to every rail- road center in the United States and Canada, today, and tracers are being sent out to locate Car No 59, ,496, of car, it is feared, the body of 12-year- old Bernard Rogers, victim of one of the most diabolical schemes of revenge ever attempted. He is believed, if a postal card received by his uncle, Assistant District Attorney Cornelius F. Rogers, is true, to have perished miserably of hunger or thirst, but this cannot be determined until the car is located.
 The boy disappeared on Monday of last week. All efforts to trace him failed until yesterday, when his uncle received the card. It said that the Rogers for a four year term and that to carry. out "vow of vengeance he had decoyed the 12-year-old boy to the railroad yards and locked him in the car which was then on a siding waiting to be attached to a through train.
 MT. Rogers and all of the railroad officials here are today systematically searching for the missing car. This is a difficult task because of the enor- nous number of cars that are cleared from the transfer functions here daily. While the local records are being searched the big railway chiefs are sending the word along the lines to have eSery yard examined and if the missing car is found to have it opened at onca
 The police say there is no doubt that the card was penned by a convict.

The revised automobile law, pending in the General Assemblyf raises the speed limit to 95 miles an hour. At present, the law provides that ''no person shall operate a motor vehicle on the public highways recklessly or at a rate of speed greater than is req sonable and proper, having regard to the width, traffic and use of the high way, or so as to endanger the property Or the life or limb of any person" i" Another section provides that if the rate of speed exceeds 25 miles an hour, it shall be prima facie evidence of unreasonable, improper and unlawful speed, and that the speed rate must not exceed 10 miles when the view is obstructed or in approaching crossings, bridges. sharp turns, steep descents or curves, nor exceed miles when pass ing street cars stationary or about to stop upon the side where passengers alight.
 If under this law which in effect fixes speed limit of 9 miles under favorable conditions, violations occur, often with disastrous and sometimes with fatal results, how will it be if the limit is raised to 35 miles? It is difficult to imagine conditions requir- ing travel at more than 25 miles an hour. High speed is practiced almost wholly for pleasure. We doubt very much the wisdom of inviting higher speed than % miles. There certainly is no pressing need of the 35 miles rate. It's main effect would be to increase the danger.

DEMOCRATS)WIN
 IN HARTFORD
Will Control City Govern ment for First Time in 20 Years.

Hartford, April 5.---As a result of the city election the Democrats will have control of the city government for the first time in about 20 years. Out of total of 40 councfimen voted for in ten wards the Democrats elect ed 24 and out of the ten aldermen chosen. seven Democrats were elected with a tie in the fifth ward. There are ten hold-over aldermen, eight of whom are Democrats and two Re- publicans. This makes the compost ton of the new court of common council on joint ballot, not counting the tie in the fifth, Democrats 34, Re publicans 25. The only wards which withstood the Democratic attack were the fourth and tenth which gave nominal Republican majorities.
 The present mayor of the city is a Democrat, with one more year to serve and the range of the local gov ernment lies entirely in the hands of the Democratic party. Less than fifty per cent. of the total registered vote of 18,000 was cast. The school district system remains unchanged.

The moving motive in the contest over the New Haven Police Court Judgeship is, it is stated. "the desire of J. Henry Roraback of Canaan and his cohorts to take the political scalps of Col Ullman and his henchmen.' Roraback was the manager of the Nc. Lean campaign for the succession te Senator Bulkeley. His alleged move against Ullman is in the regular line of Republican practice. It is the custom of winners of factional fights in the Republican party to proceed al once against the scalps of the defeated leaders. The obvious purpose is tc deprive them of power in future fac tional fights. And so, Roraback is found in fierce pursuit of Ullman's scalp. Other developments in the Roraback campaign against Anti-Mc- Lean Republicans will probably follow in due season.

Recently, the question whether a reporter can be compelled to disclose his sources of information was quite widely discussed. It has now come up again. but in slightly different form. The Chicago Record-Herald having stated that it knew of s10O,O00 being used to promote the election of Iorimer to the U. $. Senate, Editor Kohlsaat has been asked by a com rnittee of the Illinois Legislature to give the source of his information. He refuses, and states as his reason that Ssss information was given him in con- 1idence. ''No newspaper man." he says. ''can violate a confidence, and that is my code of morals
 His code is also held by editors and reporters in general. Otherwise news papers would be refused information which is often of great value to the public There should be statutory protection of such news gathering It should be put upon the same ground as the protection given to lawyers, clergy men and physicians. The public would gain by it. Newspapers could secure information which is now with held because there is no statutory barrier against divulgement of the sourcea ee-.

A NEAT LITTLE
 REPUBLICAN SCHEME

The lower branch Of Congress which assembled, Tuesday. in an extra ses- sion called by President Taft for the purpose of accepting the reciprocity agreement with Canada, has a mission from the people which was given definite expression in November last.
 The Republican managers are evi- dently determined, if possible, to de- feat that mission, and will exhaust all parliamentary and other devices to effect thein purpose. Whether they will succeed depends upon the Progress sive Republican Senators. The Reg ulars are as earnestly endeavoring now to concihate them as they were vitriolic in attacking them last year. It is a hopeful sign of failure of the conciliatory plan, that the Progressive leaders did not attend the House Re publican caucus, Monday night.
 The selection of Mann as leader of the Republican side by the House cau- GUS. is not calculated to placate the Progressives. He was one of Speaker Cannon's most active and steadfast supporters in the previous Congress Otherwise, he is not especially quail fled for leadership. except that he is an expert in parliamentary practice Certainly, there is nothing in his rec ord to command, Progressive support.
 At present, the indications are that the Republican Senate will rush through whatever President Taft rec ommends, and then vote to adjourn If the Democratic House also follows the Presidents wishes at an early vote to adjourn, in order to pass other measures, the Republican schemers will have carried their point of post poning action on tariff bills until De- cember With disagreement over adjournment, the President can enter the game under this constitutional pro- vision: He Ghe ,President) may on extraordinary occasions convene both Houses or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them with respect to the time of adjournment he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper"
 The Democratic House may check mate this game by postponing action upon Canadian reciprocity until action can be taken on other measures. Pres ident Taft will not enforce adjourn ment until decisive action upon his pet reciprocity proposition is taken.
