The One That Chose to Paw.

Three men had been out on a spree,
and on the way home late at night
they made a wager that the n who
did not do as his wife told him should
pay for a champagne supper the fol-

HeEI,tked them all off.
The second returned and on going
into his house fell against the piano,
~whereupon his wife said:

up"
He did so.
The third returned, and on going up
stairs his wife said:
You miserable wretch, fall down

Needless to say, he paid for the sup

The summary excluding the cities
of New Brunswick and Perth Amboy
shows: Reports, 656; items, 14,400;
tables, $50. All of the above rec
ords have to be tabulated by the
county superintendent into twenty
five reports to be filed with the State
department of Public Instruction on

The business-like way in which
school authorities report school facts
and conditions enables MiddleseX

the Georgia Tech and the University

1t turns out that George Browne

How many managers IN the big
leagues would consider a man who
owns .204 batting average and a .SS2
fielding average worth $4,000 and a
player chucked in for good measure?
That is the value that Hughie Jen-
nings, leader of the Detroit Tigers,
places on Charles Wagner, captain and
shortstop of the Boston Red Sox. The
tempting bait has been pushed under
the nose of John ]. Taylor, owner of
the Boston team.
Wagner, 1t is understood, would not
be opposed to going to Detroit to ft in
with the Cobb. Crawford & Co. ma
chine. Jennings wants Wagner for
second base, as Jim Delehanty's lame
leg refuses to mend. Hughie probably
figures that with Wagner at second his
Tigers would have a far better chance
to win the pennant than is now the
case.
DOME Bush helped Hughie out in
1908 and Delehanty proved a mighty
big factor in the Tigers third success

worth $4,000 and a player of Chick
Lathers' ability to Detroit. according
to Hughes way of thinking.

SECOND GAME.

Sherry pitched pretty well In the first
part of the second game, but lacked
stamina and was bumped merrily in the
fifth and seventh innings. Double steals
J were tried good deal in this game,
generally with the man on first going
down on a delayed steal and with the
other man on third. The washington's
tried the double steal once and the play
was easily spiked by Blair and Knight
The New Yorks tried it four times and
overthrew nearly to second. The other
three times McBrides quick and
straight returns to the plate wiped out
the man coming from third.
Trying to come in from third in the
fifth on a double steal, Cree slid into
Ainsmith and the latter was spiked. His
leg was cut above the ankle There

was carried on the field.
Cree's cannon wing batted Fitzgerald
home in the first inning. Elberfeld could
not handle Chase's jumper in the second

single and a wild heave by Ainsmith.
The New Yorks pounced on Sherry for

L0RIMER CASE
TAKES new TURN
Deneen Brings in Taft's Ad-
m:nistrati0n.
INTERVIEW WITH MACvEAGH.
DOneon Says Macveash Sent for
Him 70 Ascertain for the PresI-
dent Matters Regarding
Election Of Lorimer.

Washing Taft's adj
ministration has been brought into
the Lorimer election in new way
when Governor Deneen, of illinois,
testified that as early as August,
1909, Secretary of the Treasury Mac
veagh sent for him to ascertain for
the President matters regarding the
election of Senator Lofimer." This
was about three months after Mr..
Lorimer's election.
Whether Secretary MacVeagh was
proceeding on his own initiative or
the President had actually suggested
that he interview Governor Deneen
was not revealed. 1t was not de-
veloped whether an extended inquiry
was being conducted by the admins
tration into the manner of Senator
Lorimer's election. Y
Governor Deneen mentioned the
name of Secretary MacVeagh when
he was asked whom he had given his
version Of the famous telephone con-
versation between Edward Hines and
himself on the day Lorimer was
elected. 1t was during this CONVEX
sation, so Hines testified, Deneen
promised to support Lorimer. This
Governor Deneen denied. Hines testi-
fed he said over the telephone that
he was on his way to Springfield to
bring Deneen message from Sena-
tor Aldrich and President Taft
about Lorimer's election. Deneen
testified Hines said the President was
sendf4g him message through Aid
rich, who would have George Reyn-
olds, president of the Continental
National Bank, deliver it..
Governor Deneen testified that
when he responded to Secretary Mac
Veagh's request to call at the Federal
Building, in Chicago, Mr.. MacVeagh
said he wanted to ascertain for the
President matters regarding Sena-
tor Lorimer's election, and that he
(Deneen) jokingly replied:
ASK the President. He was the
man who is said to have sent the
message that did it.
Governor Deneen added that in re-
Spouse to further inquiry from the
Secretary he related the conversation
between himself and Hines
"The conversation only lasted 10
or 15 minutes, for the Secretary, af-
. ter l had related my part in the cleo
ton, said that he was astonished at
the reports" added Governor De
neen.

PUBLICITY BILL
PASSES SENATE.
A Prolonged Conference IS
Probable.
lONLYFEW DISSENTING VOTES
No Candidate for Senate or House
Shall Spend More Than Ten
Cents for Each Voter In
District or State.

Washington.-The most drastic
campaign publicity legislation ever
passed in either branch of Congress
was adopted by the Senate Monday
practically without dissenting vote.
Using the prediction publicity bill
passed by the House of Representa-
tives as basis, the Senate construct
ed during the day a proposed law
with the following important fea-
lures:
No candidate for the Senate or
House shall spend in the election
more than sum equal to 10 cents
for each voter in his district or state.
No senatorial candidate shall
spend total of more than $4,000
in the primary and general election;
and no candidate for the House shall
spend more than $4,000.
Publicity must be given to all
primary campaign contributions and
expenditures.
All general election expenses must
be made public before the election.
beginning 15 days before election,
and making publication each six
days until election.
All promises of political jobs must
be made public. The bill further
makes it illegal to promise political
places in order to secure election sup
port, or to aid in influencing the cleo
ton OF any member of state legis-
lature.
The bill will be the subject of
probably prolonged conference be-
tween the two houses. 1t originated
In the House, and was designed to re-
quire the publication of expenditures
before election which is not required
by the existing publicity law.
The Senate amendments author
lied by the Committee on Privileges
and Elections required publicity of
all primary election expenses and all
pledges of political jobs or favors.
Some objection of this was made on
the ground that primary elections
were not within the control of Con-
gress. The amendment was finally
adopted, however, by vote of so
to 7.
