keokuk Opens Away From Home,
Has Nine Sundays and Two
Holidays and Has Heavy
Mileage.
OPEN WITH BURLINGTON
After Paying There Team Goes to
kewanee and Comes Home
For Opening With
Pathfinders.

The First Central Association sched-
ule submitted for the season OF 1911
was uncorked in the office of Presi-
dent M. E. Justice today. 1t provides
for an opening on May 8, and closing
on Labor day, nine Sundays for each
city, and a heavy mileage.
KeokulS opens at Burlington, then
goes to Kewanee, and has an opening
game at home with Burling IN on
May 8. Hannibal opens at Monmouth,
Muscatine at Kewanee and Ottumwa
at Galesburg.
On the first holiday, which is Dec
Grafton day, May 80, Muscatine is at
Hannibal, Ottumwa at Keokuk, Mon
mouth at Gaiesburg and Burlington at
Kewanee.
I On July Fourth kewanee is at Bur
lington, Hannibal at Muscatine, Gales
burg at Monmouth and Keokuk at
Ottumwa.
On Labor Day, the day of closing,
kewanee is at Keokuk, Galesburg at
Hannibal, Burlington at Muscatine
and Monmouth at Ottumwa.
Keokuk, Hannibal, Ottumwa and
Muscatine have nine Sundays and
two holidays, while Burlington, Mon
mouth, Galesburg and Kewaene has
nine Sundays and one holiday.
Mileage is Reasonable.
In view of the change in the circuit
which substitutes Muscatine for
Quincy the mileage in the chart SUBJ
mitted may be termed very reason
able. OF course the season is one
week shorter This should make up
the difference in mileage occasioned
by the admittance of Muscatine. Keo-
kuk has high mileage, but all OF the
other cities have mileage much less
than that of last season. For compari.
son with last year the following fig
ures are given:

Tried For Robbing Trunks.

tIiS0 ISf nO00tiiS ia
At the opening. session of superior
court the case of the state VS.. John
Casey and w C. Cooper of GOldsboro,
charged with robbing trunks of pas
sengers while they we're in the en-
ploy of the Norfolk Southern Rail-
way company was called. Both of the
young men plead guilty and asked the
mercy of the court. A large number
of witnesses from all over the state
were in attendance prepared to give
their testimony and several of them
were allowed to testify. There was
much sympathy expressed for Cooper.
His young wife, a very attractive lit
tie lady and her father were in the
court room and they received the SYM
pathy of all present. Casey's gray
haired father was also present aad
made a pathetic plea to the judge to
free his erring boy. In summing up
the case Judge Carter stated that he
was deeply touched by the pleas Of
the relatives of the defendants and
wished that he could conscientiously
let them go free, but this he could not
do. Both of the defendants were
sentenced to q term of 6 months each
in the Craven county Jail.

Election Has Been Postponed.

Fayetteville.-Owing to a dispute
over the boundary line between Cum
berland, and Harnett counties the
Good Roads election to have been
held in Cumberland county on No
vember 9Th, has been postponed un-
til some time in the spring of 1912,
by the county commissioners at the
request OF the Cumberland county
Good Roads Association, so the result
OF the election will be free from any
possible complication arising from
the boundary dispute. The Legisla-
ture OF 1911 passed an act transfer
ring a portion of Black River town
snip from Cumberland to Harnett
county, but certain residents of this
section do not wish to be. made a part
OF Harnett and have started suit.

LAWYER in MCNAMARA CASE

Clarence S. Darrow of Chicago is
the attorney who marshaled the legal
forces for the defense of John j. Nc
Namara, secretary-treasurer Of the
International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers. Seven
lawyers in all were engaged by the
American Federation of Labor to con-
duct the defense. Leo M. Rappaport,
attorney for the Structural Iron Work
ers' union, at the instance of the Of
ficers, selected attorneys who. In his
MIND, were capable of Fwaging a great
battle. He selected six lawyers, the
most noted of whom is Clarence S.

barrow is ffty-four years old and is
Independent in politics. He has de-
voted his time and proffered his aid

.RAnp JURY INVESTIGATION WAS
THE PRELIMINARY STEP IN
THE FIGHT.
WILL BE AN INvlNclBLE CASE
n. Grand Jury Has>Before it Much
Evidence Of the Receipt Of Large
Quantities Of Liquor by the Tran
s~portation Companies.

Wilmington.-The magnitude OF the
searching investigation into the alleg-
ed violations of the prihibition law
by the grand jury is just beginning
to be fully realized by the people gen.
orally and each day it becomes more
apparent that it vas but the prelimi-
nary step toward Kidding the town of
a large portion Of it's blind tigers"
especially those which are so open in
their operations.
Already several attorneys. have
been engaged to appear for the
prosecution, and it is said that others
will appear at the trial. For a few
DAYS there existed in the minds Of
some a doubt as to the strength Of
the cases against the 81 alleged VIC
lators of the law who have been
indicted, but this a practically been
dispelled and nearly all concede that
if the state is able TO prove what it
is reported can be shown then an
invincible case can be made out
against the defendants.
The grand Jury had before it evil
dence of the receipts of large guam
titles of whiskey, by the t~ransporta-
ton companies and also that those
indicted shave United States liquor
license, it is said. Independent OF
the fact that each defendant has a.
| United States liquor license he has
to file an affidavit with the govern
ment that he intends to engage in
the retail liquor business. A recent
United States law requires all liquors
to be consigned to actual persons and
to have the contents marked on the
package. The prosecutions in these
cases takes the position, it is said,
cnat it is an easy matter to produce
the afidavits and also the books Of
the transportation companies, show
ing enormous deliveries of liquors.
