DOOM FOR BROWN,

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. z.-Charley
Doom probably has played his last
game as a member of the Phillies. The
deal which now appears likely to take
Doom from Philadelphia will send him
TO the Chicago Cubs, and probably
Miner Brown, the Cub hurler, will
come here. In this deal local fans pro-

thai Murphy is too astute a baseball

MURPHY WOULD
ELIMINATE WORN
BASEBALL RULES

CHICAGO, Dec. IA thorough
revision of what is termed an
antiquated baseball code is the
argument set forth by President
Murphy, of the Cubs. Murphy's
proposition in brief is the ap-
pointment of a rules committee.
1t is a move proposed for the
purpose of going through the
present code with a f1ne-tooth
comb and rounding out such
clauses which are dead issues
and which are not enforced by
umpires. Besides this the pres
ent rules fail TO cover queer
situations which are liable to
rise at any moment in a game.
The committee proposed vouln
include four umpires and .hree
baseball writer's. who are we'll
versed in the present deficiency
of the rules. Two umpires would
be named from each major league
and the body would be given free
rein to go through the laws now
governing play and eliminate the
clauses which are ambiguous and
mean nothing in so far as the
umpire is concerned

warmly and aptly he onc insisted on
prudence.
"It was the Christmas season. and
he said that we might learn a lesson

A Suggestion to All Editors.

The following is a contribution to the
department of '"The Pilgrims Scrip" in
the American Magazine:
Here is a suggestion that / would
like to pass ON through your columns
to some able young newspaper pub
Usher.
"The suggestion grows put of an ex-
perience a friend of mine had with a
great metropolitan newspaper, which
printed a story in which 1t was stated
that my friend had. the day before,
kissed a sweet good-by TO a beautiful
divorced actress in Paris, whom he was
about to marry. At the time this oc-
currence was said tc have taken place,
my friend was on this side Of the ocean
within plain and easy sight Of his wife
and six children. Indeed, at the hour
when he was supposed to be enjoying
the delights of Paris, he vas on the
way to the laundry with his weeks
cellars and sh!~ts. II was Q case where
two men of the same last name got
mixed by the newspaper, ard the pleas
ures of Paris were AWARDED to the
wrong one
but this suggestion has to do with
the reaction that the newspa Jer pub
lished the following day. 1 tell you,
1t was one Of the handsomest things 1
ever knew q great engine OF publicity
to do for an outraged fellow mar In
fine type, and in a corner of the page
where marine intelligence catches the
crowd, all doubt was wiped away In the
following clear and convincing para
graph:

ported In yesterdays Argus as being in
France, Is at Akron, Ohio. He is said
by his friends to be preparing to spend
the winter in Mexico
MY how good my friend felt to get
the truth In print! Even though no
body saw 1t, except those to whom he
personally showed It!
Seriously, why in the world does a
newspaper think that It is good BUSH
ness to be inhuman and cruel? Is there
anything on this broad earth more
lovely to see than a creature made in
the image Of God standing up and adj
hitting hat he made a mistake and
wishes to correct It? Is there anything
about that proceeding that is calculated
to make a man or a newspaper hated
BY onS'S Sciicrss? DC yoa yourself ner-
sonally detest and dislike the neighbor
who did you an unintentional wrong
and then came around and asked you
to forgive him?

Astronomer lnterprets 1t and
Confutes Testimony Of Two
Girl Witnesses.
TIME ELEMENT EXPLAINED

Omaha.-Special: A shadow cast
by a church steeple prevented Frank
Erdman, of Omaha, from being sent
TO the penitentiary last week.
Erdman was Anti Saloon league de-
tective and incurred the enmity of the
people whom he was set to watch.
some time ago an Internal machine
was left at the residence Of Tom Den
lson. former gambler and political
pboss" Of Omaha. Erdman was in
nicted for the crime.
The evidence showed that the ex-
plostve had been left at the Dennison
house on Sunday afternoon before 3
o'clock. At the trial two young girls
testified that as they were returning
from a church confirmation in the aft
n Of that Sunday they walked di-
recty behind Erdman, who was at
that time in the vicinity Of Dennison's
home. They identified Erdman because
Of his peculiar hating walk. Their tes-
timony showed the time to have been
about 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon
about the same time the Internal ma
chine was deposited on Dennison's
porch, Other witnesses testified to hav-
Ing seen the girls walking behind a
man at that time.
The Photograph the Only Defense.
A photograph was practically the
only defense introduced by Colonel
John o. Yefser, attorney for Erdman.
1t was a picture made at the contir-
nation the Sunday OF the attempted
outrage and among the figures could
be seen the two girls who had testified
against Erdmdn. And across the face
Of the picture was thrown the shadow
OF the church steeple.
Astronomer Interprets It.
To explain the picture properly,
Father Rigge, OF Creighton university,
the best known astronomer in this
part Of the west, was called.
THAT photograph was made at 81
minutes 20 seconds past 8 o'clock on
the day Of the outrage" said Father
Rigge. "It Is a clear, clean astronom-
ical problem, and there can be no
doubt Of the time, the day and the
year"
It was plain to the jury tina even II

Andrew Carnegie, at q dinner in

very g~ood-looking lassie?
"Of course Kathleen was pleased,
but, being modest, she blushed like a
rose and answered:
"'Ah, ma; All, ma! But my kissin,
sir, is beautiful
"The divine frowned. +,
Leave the room, you wicked
young baggage!' he said sternly.
He didn't know, you see, that mod
est Kathleen had been simply praising
In her Highland dialect, the superior
charms of her cousin Janet Of Pee

SHADOW OF STEEpLE
CLEARS A PRISONER

the two girls walked directly from the
church to their homes they could not
have passed Dennison's house until 4
o'clock and that If they saw Erdman
at that time 1t was two hours after
the Internal machine had been placed
at the house. In the face Of that he
could not be convicted, for he had an
alibi for the rest of the day.
Determine the Time.
In explaining to the jury the meth
DDS used by him in determining the ex-
act second at which the photograph
was made, Father Rigge said:
The principle made use Of in deter
mining from the position of a shadow
the date and time at which a photo
graph was taken is that in drawing a
line from the shadow to the object
that cast 1t we "a find the suns place
In the sky. AS the sun is continually
changing it's position, going not only
westward or account of its diurnal
motion, but also northward or south
ward on account of it's annual motion.
1t follows that the sun a occupy q
certain position only once or twice in
a year and that therefore a determina-
ton of this position ought to give US
the time Of the day, as we'll as the day
Of the year.
ST said once or twice because as the
sun is rising higher in the sky in a
northerly direction during half the
year, and sinking lower down the other
half, 1t must recross it's path and
therefore occupy the same meridian
attitude twice a year. But as the sun
may not reach its former annual or
seasonal position at exactly the same
time of the day as when it last reached
1t, there is a possibility that a certain
given position may occur only once in
the year.
Every Such Picture Unique.
eff, in addition, we take the chances
Of the weather and other circum-
stances into account, we might safely
wager 10 to 1 that a photograph show
ing a certain position of a shadow
could never be duplicated, that every
such picture is therefore unique, and
bears upon itself the stamp not only
Of the time of the day and of the day
Of the year, but even of the year in
which 1t was taken.
There can be no mistake; this photo
was taken within one minute Of Il
minutes, 20 seconds past 3 O'Clock on
the afternoon of the day in ques-
tion."
The Erdman case is the first instance
in the west, if not in the entire
country, where scientific astronomy
has been used to disprove a criminal
charge against any n

Cutting Do,Dn Chicago's Death Rate

A writer contributes an interesting
account Of the work that is being done
in Chicago by Dr. William A Evans.
commissioner OF health, to the Ameri>
ran Magazine from which the follow
Ing paragraphs are taken:
'Dr. Evans found that the lives Of
20, 600 persons were being snufied out
each year In his own city by prevent
able diseases; he found that though he
saw clearly what ought TO be done to
save these lives, he could accomplish
little until the people themselves saw 1t.
With popular education as the key
note, the plans for a health campaign
were carefully worked out. The entire
department STAFF was turned loose to
reach health. Aides and inspectors
who had never in their widest dreams
pictured themselves as public speakers
found themselves giving health talks
before schools and clubs, and social
settlements. DR.. Evans himself led the
van. For three years he has averaged
a lecture q day.. He always speaks ex-
tamporaneously using notes only when
he wishes to quote figures or data The
bulletin issued weekly by the depart
ment, teemed with popular informa-
ton about the ~seasonable Ills and how
10 ward them off. A press service was
established. Two hundred dailies and
weeklies In and about Chicago received
each Thursday from DIR. Evans de-
partment good live health material for
publication. The material appeared In
q dozen or more different languages,
and reached all classes. The value OF
the moving picture show as q medium

pie might be reached was not over

were often surprised by some interest

Nor fills my soul with thoughts of sadness
