MANY WANT PANAMA BONDS
Main Portion of Issue Likely to Go
to the Small Bidders.

Washington, June 13.-The Govern
ment's $50,000,000 Panama Canal loan
probably will be taken in the main by
small investors. Although the bids
will not be opened until next Satur-
day, more than nine hundred sealed
proposals have been received at the
Treasury Department. They came
from all sections of the country.
Treasury officials feel that as the
new bonds are exempt by law from
all Government, State municipal or
local taxation, they have a high in
yestment value in comparison with
State. municipal, railroad, or indus
trial securities Bids will be receiy-
ed until p. m, June II. An
nouncement of the successful bidders
and the prices will be made a few
days later.

Amherst went down in defeat before
Syracuse at Amherst Saturday after
noon, the score being 2 to /. The
pitching of Cottrell, the Hoosick
Falls boy, who was on the mound for
Syracuse, was too much for Amherst
for. although he was touched up for
eight hits, he was invincible when
men were on bases. Vernon allowed
three hits but these included two
three baggers which were punched.
Each team had two errors in the
field. Vernon passed two men, hit
two and famed five while Cottrell
did not pass any, hit one and famed

Managers Mackey and Garry of
the local and Pittsfield teams respec-
lively, have practically settled upon
a scheme which will enable Saturday
afternoon fans of both cities to see
the rival teams in action. The idea
is to play double headers several
times during the season, game be-
ing called in one city at o'clock and
Immediately after the finish, the OPP
posing players will jump into automo-
biles and hasten TO the other city
where the second game will start in
the neighborhood of AIS o'clock.
This arrangement should be pleasing
news to the fans that only have an
opportunity to witness Saturday
games as the usual holiday contests
between the two teams are not slated
this year. The first double header
will probably come July S.-North

Joe Harrington, last years main
stay In the box for the local club, has
finally decided to live up to his or
iginal agreement and report with the
Detroit Tigers as soon as he com
pletes his duties at NJ. |. T. AS was
reported in the Transcript some time
ago, Harrington accepted terms with
Cy Ferry of Pittsfeld, the Detroit
scout, at that time but since then
Joe has changed his mind several
times. A few weeks ago Harrington
wrote the Transcript that, as he had
only one more year to devote to base
ball, he did not intend to take a stab
at the big league but would report
at Bennington instead. When the
season opened he did not join the
ranks of the Vermonters and 1t has
been known for some time that Man
ager Higgins had given up hopes OF
securing him. The latest announce
ment to theeffect that he will go to
Detroit will put an end to the con
occurring over where he will play this
summer that is, in case that he does
not change his mind again. Harring-
ton will have for his catcher at De
troit, Casey who formerly did the
backstop work for him at Wakefield
high school. The pair hardly expect
ed to be together with a big league
club when they were together on the
school nine five years ago.-North

Sunday night at fl o'clock bolt of lightning struck the Gardner house in Halls addition, occupied by MT. and Mrs. John Beasley and their family, who had recetnly ar rived from Benonine, Tex. Two lit tie boys were together in bed, and the fluid burned the head and face of one and stripped the clothes from him, but he marvelously es- eaped instant death. The other was pretty badly shneked.
 The bolt struck the house at the roof, tore off a good portion, ran down the side walls, burning the wall paper. It then struck the bed, on which were the two boys, and went down through the floor, knocking out some sills under the house.
 None but the 7-year-old boy was much hurt.

SPECIAL ATTENTION
 CALLED TOPERJURY
Judge Bowling, in Opening October Term of Circuit Court Calls Attention to This Crime-Not
 Many Serious Cases.

The semi-annual occasion foI punishing the eyil-doers and givin, those in civil strife an opportunit, to get justice, opened at the cour house Monday morning. It was tn, eonvening of the October term o. the Polk Circuit court, with Judg, Jelf T. Bowling of Ashdown on the bench and Prosecuting Attorney pinnix looking after the states in- lerests.
 Court opened at 10 o'clock with a prayer offered by the Rev A. G Dickerson of Egger. Following this and under the regular routine oi court, the grand jury was called and empaneled. Of the twenty-four men summoned the following six teen men were chosen to form the grand jury after some were excused for cause:
 J. D. Holmes, foreman; J. B. Me- Clenen, Bert Balentine, J. B. Bags, J. T. Williamson, J. B. Lawrence, ]. NJ. Strawn, Hardy Jones, w. NJ. Taylor, Dewitt Gilbert, S. L. Brooks, Tom Embry, J. T. Demp- sey, T. J. Edwards, E. K. Griffith, H. K. Chambers.
 After the grand jury was or ganized Judge Cowling spent the re- nainder of the morning reviewing the criminal statutes for the pur- pose of aiding that body in investi- gating crimes that may have been committed in the county.
 Aside from the general instruc- lions regarding well known crim- nal laws, Judge Bowling called pecial attention to perjury, re- marking that since his election to the bench he had sat all day long and listened to perjured evidence until it almost made him sick. He believed it to be a growing crime, and unless indictments were found and convictions had for some of these perjurers the courts would soon become a farce.
 The judge also spoke especially of the failure of justices of the peace and constables in making Their quarterly reports to the coun- Ny courts. He said these officers came up with their reports to the Circuit court all right twice a year, but the law requires that they must make quarterly reports to the county courts.
 The failure of the Bank of Gran his was referred to and the grand jury asked to investigate and see if any violation of the law had taken place. The statute against wife abandonment was mentioned as a new law that was doing world of good in the other counties of this circuit. There have been several men convicted and fined from $250 to $500 and sent to jail for desert- ing their wives without cause. As 2 result there are a good many in- stances where men who had left
