mas been undergoing an evolution
for years. At the present time
there is much complaint from some
who would have few runs and
quick game, on account of the way
in which the batters are hitting
this new cork-center ball. The
complaint is heard that the ball
is too fast and runs too frequent.
The explanation of the experts Is
that a ball hit on the ground with
the new ball is no faster than with
the old one. but that hall hit in
the air goes further. thus &C
counting for the great nunbe,
of extra base hits made in recent
years.
Some years ago the halls were
made with rubber senters. Then,
in response to a demand for more
runs to make the game interesting
to the spectators. the experiment
was tri ed of making a ball with a
small piece of cork in the center,
in the heart of the rubber core.
This produced q little of the de-
sired effect, and every year from
that time the relative sizes of the
rubber and rho cork in the center
of the spehres has been changed

! evolved.

THE ROTHSCHILDS

| Inc great RothSchlld family,
although founded only about a
hundred years ago, is worth two
billion dIllars. This is four times
the probable wealth ~ of all the
Rockefellers. and more than six
times greater tn an the united
Astor possessions. At q per cent,
the yearly income of the present
Rothschild fortune would be
eighty million doll.rs, or more
than the whole capital of the
original Vanderbilt. None of the
other great financial houses of
Europe approaches the Rothschilds
in prestige or possessions. The
Hirsch fortIne is only one-fourth
that of the Rothschild fortune.
The great South African money
kings put together can not muster
half as much cash as the Roths-
childs. The present head of the
family is Lord Rothschild, of
London. member of the house Of
parliament. In l847 RothschiId
was elected. but the prescribed
oath contained these words: "On
the true faith of Christian" He
asked to he sworn on an old
testament This being refused he
retired. Finally, in 1858, the
oath was amended, and Baron
Lionel Rothschild took his seat.
Many suppose the Rothschilds are
only bankers. They own cotton
factories in Lancashire, cutlery
works at Sheffield, plantations in
Jamaica, rubber fields in Brazil,
looms in Persia and India, lead
mines in Spain. timber tracts in
Siberia. gold mines in Africa. whole
townships in Australia, and shiL S
on every sea.
The Rothschilds have violated
all laws by marrying their near
kindred. When there were no
Rothschild daughters for the men
to marry. they remained single.
Baron James, for years head of
the French house, married his
niece; others of the family mar
ricd cousins. This was the
recommen lation of old Ro hschiId,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.--Changes in

and toipreveNt such delays IA prosecution
as have Ov urred in the beef8.rust hear
ing. were declared necessary BY Senator
Cuinmins today at the hearing before the
Interstate Commerce committee of the
senate.
Questioning H. b. Martin OF the anti
Trust league, who opposed any amend
ment 10 the Sherman law, Senator Cum
Minis referred to the decree in the to-
bacco company case authorizing the re-
organization OF four companies and called
attention to the announced report OF the
Department Of Justice not to interfere
with the reorganization.
II do not believe the organization OF
four companies will restore competition,
but in the minds OF the authorities, IT
is apparently in harmony with the anti
trust law" said Senator Cummins. "In
my opinion the antitrust law will not
maintain competition and It ought to be
amended and strengthened"
Amendments Suggested.
Senator Cummins referred to a pos
sible limitation OF the capital stock OF
corporations. a de$orcing OF manufactur-
ing business from sources OF supplies and
a separation OF business and transporta-
tion elements as changes In the law would
lead TO better competition.
Mr.. Martin said the Antitrust league
OF which he is secretary, proposes to
fight the dissolution decree IN the Ameri-
can Tobacco case on the ground that 1t
does not comply with the antitrust law.
He declared that succeeding officials OF
the government IN the last twenty-one
years had failed to enforce the law prop
erly.
do you claim they betrayed their
trust2" asked Senator Cummins.
THAT Is strong language" said Mr.
Martin, but in some cases l believe they
did"
Senator Cummins said that IN his opin-
ion when a certain course had been pur-
sued over a period Of years by public
officials II indicated there was either
something essential lacking in the law or
that all public officials constituted "a
band OF rascas."

American Troops
Will Remain Along
Border of Mexico

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Danger Of an
other wen organized and formidable
revolutionary movement in Mexico has
caused the suspension of the return to
their home stations of the American
troops sent into the border country dur
ing the Madero revolution: The attitude
Of the United States is one of apprehen-
sion Of further trouble, against which
every precaution IS to be taken to insure
the strictest neutrality.
AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 1.-Two captains
of Texas rangers today were ordered to
the border with instructions to prevent
any activity in Texas toward starting a
revolution in Mexico.
These movements were made after a
conference between Governor Colquitt and
ranger Captain Hughes who claims to
have evidence that part of the prepara-
tions for Mexican revolution are under
way in Texas.
From a heretofore reliable source It
was learned that General Reyes, now at
San Antonio may be placed under the
surveillance of the Texas authorities. The
rangers have been ordered to prevent
maraurading on the American side Of the
border.

The issuance OF a $40 warrant on the

Gates that Auditor Barton has decided to

Auditor Barton refused for some time
to issue any warrants under the new act
unless he was given an indemnity bond
by Omaha business men or those who
were interested in seeing the medical col
lege built up in Omaha. His change of
front is said to have come from a rigid

REMARK ARoUsEs ATTENTION
Judge Asserts There IL Not Much
Question, but that Packers Were
in Custody Sufficient TO
Justify Writ.

CHICAGO, Nov 1-Indicted packers
who are seeking a ruling from the United
states supreme court on the validity Of
the Sherman antitrust act, expressed
themselves as much encouraged late TO-
day, when United States Circuit Judge c.
C. Kohlsaat said he saw little reason to
question the effectiveness OF the custody
of the defendants, upon which the dis
puted habeas corpus proceedings orig
mated.
Although Judge Kohlsaat announced
that he would not hand down his decision
on the governments motion to quash the
habeas corpus writ until tomorrow morn
ing, the defense hailed the courts prac-
tical decision Of the point of custody as
forerunner Of victory for the packers
in the habeas corpus fight.
Comment regarding the point of Gus
tody was made by the court while United
States District Attorney James II. VIII
kerson was concluding his arguments
against the packers writ.
II don't think there is much question
but these parties were in custody that
would justify the issuance of the writ
said Judge Kohlsaat.
The remark challenged instant atten-
tion from lawyers, defendants and spec
tators in the court room.
Counsel for both sides today finished
their arguments on the governments mo-
tion to quash and Judge Kohlsaat asked
for list of citations advanced in the
last two days. The court then announced
that his decision would be ready tomor-
row morning.
