GENERAL DODGE so YEARS OLD.

NEW YORK, April 12.--General
Grenville M. Dodge, one Of the very
few surviving corps commanders Of
the Union army, celebrated his eight
eth birthday anniversary today. Gen.
eral Dodge spends the greater part Of
the year in this city, though he has
always retained his home in Iowa, of
which state he has been a resident
since 1854. Entering the civil war
as colonel of the Fourth Iowa infantry
in 1861, he became brigadier general
of volunteers in 1852 and a major gen.
eral of volunteers in 1864. After the
war he returned to Iowa and resumed
railroad work as chief engineer Of the
Union Pacific lines. He subsequently
became chief engineer Of the Texas
and Pacific and has built more lines
Of railroad, it is said, than any other
man in the United States. OF late
years he has had large corporation
interests. From 1867 to 1869 he rep
resented one of the Iowa districts in
congress-. General Dodge succeeded
General Sherman as president of the
Society Of the Army of the Tennes-
see, and he has been commander-in-
chief also of the Military Order Of the
Loyal Legion. He served as head of
the commission appointed by the pres
ident in 1898 to inquire into the man
of the war with Spain.

MUCH WANTED NEGRO CAUGHT.

ST. LOUIS, April 12.-Chief of Po-
lice Young is in receipt Of telegram
from Durham, N. c., stating that
Bessie" William Francis, a negro,
had been arrested there, asking if he
wanted here on the charge of murder.
There is reward of $500 for Fran
cis' arrest.
In 1901 a negro by that name was
accused of murder of Miss Mary Hen
derson at Columbus, Mo. The dying
woman accused Francis of shooting
her.
The murder, which occurred on
August 27, 1901, was one of the most
brutal in the history of this state.
A posse of over 200 men, started
after him with bloodhounds. Francis
was traced to Blackwater, Mo-, but
got away through the swamps and
rough timberland.
The Warrensburg authorities will
probably take immediate steps to have
him returnetd for trail.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION !
GINS RACE.

TOLEDO o., April 12.-The cur
= tain rises today on the American as
sOciation pennant race of 1911, with
the champion Minneapolis team play
ing the Mud Hens on the Toledo
grounds, Kansas City playing in Lou
isville Milwaukee in Indianapolis and
st. Paul in Columbus. The seasons S
schedule provides for 100 games on
four-times-around-the-circu basis.
Unless all signs go wrong, the sea-
son will be the most successful in the
history of the association. The weak
teams Of last year appear to have been
strengthened, which adds to the pros
pect for close race for the cham
pionship. Much will demand on the
work of the managesr in handling the
teams and developing young players.
These managers are all men of. base
ball experience on the field, the most
of them having served their time with
major league clubs. The rosters of
the several clubs this year also con-
tain the names of an unusually large
number of former star players in the
big league clubs.
This is the tenth season of the
American association in its present
makeup. Columbus has held the
championship title three times in the
nine battles for the flag St. Paul and
indianapolis each have won twice,
while Louisville and Minneapolis have
one triumph to their credit. Toledo,
Kansas City and Milwaukee are still
in the "maiden class" so far as pen
nsnts are concerned

BLOW AT STATE CONTROL.

The United states supreme court In
the safety appliance case holds that
on an interstate railroad there is
practically no such thing as a car or
train devoted entirely to intrastate
commerce. Interstate and intrastate
shipments are frequently mingled in
the same car, or, If not i'm the same
car. In the same train. so that the alb
sence Of safety devices from car,
even " devoted to carrying only local
freight might ondanger the remaining
cars. some Of which carried interstate
freight Similarly, a whole train un-
supplied carrying only intrastate
freight, might endanger other trains
carrying interstate business.
The court holds that the cars and
equipment are to be considered as be-
longing 10 an integral thing. a railroad
and confirms the power Of the Inter
state Commerce commission to enforce
the Federal laws as to safety appli-
ances wherever a railroad traverses
more than one state.
The Federal governments jurisdic-
tion extends from the first 10 the last
mile Of the longest railroad In tho

that the Black Hand is largely a myth,
the symbol Of a black hand being used
by criminals merely as a lever to force
money from terror stricken Italians and
others.
1t is true, as Mr.. Castiglano asserts,
that the great majority Of Italians i'm

Industrious and mind their own busi-

CHAMP WASN'T JOKING.

So Champ Clark wasn't joking after
all When he spoke in favor Of the
annexation Of Canada, before the gen.
eral elections i'm Canada in which reci-
procity was defeated. IT was generally
considered in this country that Champs
remarks were not seriously intended.
But they were so taken in Canada and
they had not a little TO do with the de-
feat Of the proposed trade pact I'm the
Dominion. the speaker being quoted
in all speeches Of the Conservatives.
Now il appears the Canadians had
Champ sized up right. The lesson OF
the Canadian elections has been lost
on him, for he declared in an address
yesterday that he believes nine
tenths Of the people Of the United
states favor the annexation of Cana
da and that he believes he could be
elected president on a platform favor
ing IL as against a platform opposed
TO Il. Does this mean that Champ
will try to make a practical test Of
that belief?
