TROUBLE EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON.

and best known residents Of Laurium

ing that position had lived a retired
life. Mr.. Ingersoll was a veteran of
the civil war, having served in some of
its most important engagements.
Besides Mrs. Ingersoll, three daugh-
ters survive, Mrs. Grace Penhalegan

CHANGE SCORING RULES.
Major League Moeuls To Consider I'm.
portant Problem.


New York. Dec. AT the next meet
ing of the two big leagues an attemp;
viii be made to adopt a more complete
method OF recording the work of pitch
ers. This is one branch of the scoring
rules hat certainly needs adjustment.
For instance, here is question, asked
by one OF the fans, and so far nobody
has been able TO answer IL satisfac-
toriy.
In a game at the Polo grounds the
Giants were two runs behind when
they left the field and went To bat in
the last half of the seventh inning.
Crandall was pitching. The first five
men (the pitcher didn't come to baD
went up and batted in three runs,
enough to win. Matty then went in
and pitched the last two innings. Now.
the question is: Did Crandall go out
Of the game when the Giants were be-
hind or ahead? In other words. IL he
was out Of the game when the Giants
came to the bench. Matty gets credit
for il. If he was not out of the game
until Matty went i'm, then the Giants
were ahead when Matty went to the
box and Crandall gets credit for the
game How about IL?

KING APPLE IN OKLAHOMA

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 14.-J. A. Far
quharson of Guthrie, Okla, who won
the first prize in the southern states
special at the fourth National Apple
show here, scoring SO S-4 points out Of
possible 100, with three boxes of
apples grown in his state, says in a
letter to Ren II. Rice, secretary of the
National Apple Show:
oklahoma should be proud for such
a good showing but it is hard to get
up much enthusiasm in this country
where man who tries to grow good
apples is looked upon as a freak, and
ought to have his head fixed
Il do not think will get 'swelled up
and try to compete with you fellows
with your irrigated fruit; but do feel
as though | would like to meet all of
you and have good handshake all
around in an atmosphere fraught with
enthusiasm for King Apple.
II can almost imagine can smell
the aroma of the Jonathan, the Nc
Intosh, the Spitzenburg, mingling with
the Delicious, the Rome Beauty, the
Winter Banana, and hundreds of other
varieties, each one trying to outdo the
others in filling the air with their sweet
fragrance.
Il wish to thank you as an exhibitor
for the fair and courteous treatment
at all times, and now. since have won
after the third trial for what have
been striving | feel satisfied"

CLEAN SWEEP IN
ARIZONA ELECTION
Arizona Repudiates President Taft's
Dictation Claims Democratic
State Chairman Rlrdno.

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 1.-THE demo-
crats of Arizona will place two mem
bers in the United States senate and
one member in the house of represen-
tatiyes, a governor in the state capitol
at Phoenix, and unless present indi-
cations are materially changed, will
make clean sweep of the state ticket
as result of the first state election.
The legislature from present indica-
tions, will be more than three-fourths
democratic, insuring the election of
Henry A. Ashurst, of Prescott, and
Mark A. Smith. of Tucson, to the
United States senate.
There is but one chance that clean
sweep will not be the democratic por-
ton of this election, and that is Cleve-
land, republican, is running strongly.
and may defeat Osborne, of Phoenix,
for this place.
Democratic State Chairman j B..
Birdno issued statement last night
claiming the election of the democratic
candidates by majorities ranging from
1900 to 1000 He also claimed every
county in the state, except two, would
return democratic majorities. Apache
and Pima are conceded to the republi.
cans by small majorities.
The people of Arizona simply re-
fused to indorse Taft's dietation as
to what kind of legislation Arizona
should have" Mr.. Birdno said, and
while they voted to eliminate the re-
call from the constitution this they
were obliged to do to gain statehood. !"
He said that the recall would be plac-
ed back in the constitution as soon as
possible.
Returns from none of the thirteen
counties are complete, and it may be
tomorrow before the exact vote can
be given

TOO MANY PROHIBITION
LAWS SAYS MINISTER

Washington. ID. c., Dee. 14.-Deelar-
ing there were too many state statutes
for the control of the liquor traffic,
and that unless the law was backed
up by strong public opinion, it was
useless, Ernest H. Cherrington of
Ohio, editor of Presbyterian period
ical, last night urged the delegates
to the fourteenth national convention
of the Anti-saloon league to give more
time to arousing public opinion against
the liquor traffic and less to lobbying
for the enactment of laws that never
were enforced and soon became a
dead-letter.
Mr.. Cherrington said the congress
had been making warfare some time
for statewide prohibition, and done
the cause of temperance harm, and
cited Alabama as an illustration.
"The Anti-Saloon league was oppos-
ed to a statewide prohibition law in
Alabama" he said, but the question
was forced upon the organization by
extremists. It is clear to everyone
now that the results have done our
cause harm. The community was not
ready for that measure, and until you
have public opinion with you, it is a
waste of time to force any law on the
people"
At the afternoon ssession Senator
Lee of Tennessee said he favored ma
tional legislation TO amend the inter
state commerce lay 50 as 10 prohibit
the shipping of liquor into prohibition

OKLAHOMA FOR WILSON
ACCORDING TO GORE

Washington, d. c., Dec 14.-That
Speaker Champ Clark's unfortunate ut
terances in regard to the annexation
of Canada have somewhat impaired
his chances as a democratic presiden-
tial possibility, is indicated in poll
of the democratic editors of Oklahoma
now being made by Senator Gore. A
marked change in sentiment in favor
of Governor Wilson, of New Jersey,
over the poll of the 208 democratic
newspapers of the state taken by the
Times Democrat about a month ago in
which fully S5 per cent of the editors
favored Speaker Clark, is now apparent
Out of Sc replies received by Senator
Gore, up to date, fully two-thirds of
the democratic editors now favor the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson, while
but a month ago they were almost a
unit for Clark.
Through sentimental reasons, large
ly because OF the neighborliness of the
two states, Oklahoma democrats have
wanted to be for Speaker Clark and
the distinguished Missourian would un-
doubtedly have no trouble in getting
the new state delegation to the ma
tional convention next year, IF any as
surances could be given that the
speaker would be factor in the presi-
Dental race. The feeling is growing
in Oklahoma that Speaker Clark has
largely been eliminated as presiden-
tial possibility, especially as his home
state is now pledged to former Cover
nor Folk, who will probably remain in
the running until the last gun is fired.
That Wilson is gaining strength in
Oklahoma daily, especially among the
newspapers that mould public opinion,
is undoubtedly true, if the replies being
received by Senator Gore can be taken
as an indication as to which way the
political winds are blowing. 1t still
looks like anybody's race in Oklahoma.

T'ilIman County Man Thinks Blame
for Higher Taxes Lies With State
Equalization Board.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 13.-Sam w.
johnson, county attorney of Tillman
county, in letter to Governor Cruce
places the blame for high taxes upon
the state board of equalization, and
says that if the people can have until
March / to pay their taxes without
penalty attaching the condition will be
accepted, but if not, a contest is to
be made questioning the state boards
authority to act as it did
The governor could not determine
whether there existed any authority
for extending the time for paying taxes
in the absence of legislative sanction.
This will probably be referred to Attor-
new General West for an opinion.
Governor Cruce disputed the county
attorneys view that the state board
was responsible for the condition. on
the contrary, shows in his letter that
the complaint Is properly due on ac-
count of excessive local levies. County
Attorney Johnson cited the case of one
citizen who last year paid only SIS in
state taxes and this year on the same
property would be required to pay $25.
He gave the rates for various local pur-
poses, from which Governor Cruce
figured. Last year the citizen paid
$lz9.40 as follows: For state purposes
50, county $14.40, city $4S. school S62.
This year the total is $2S5.62, divided
as follows: state s25, county $32.5O.
city $125, school $l0312. local govern
ment last year cost the citizen in ques-
ton $124.40, while this year it is
$26062, about 80 per cent of the whole
an increase of $136.22, while the state
government is costing but $40. The
governor says it is the duty of the
local boards to reduce the levies to the
actual and economical needs of the
community. and when this is done, he
says, there win not be so much com
plant.
Governor Cruce adds that the state
levy is higher this year than last, but
viii gather no surplus. He says it is
well known fact that the levy last
year did not half pay the running ex-
penses of the state government
