WOMEN NEED NOT TELL THEIR
ACE WHEN THEY REGISTER

Registration books were opened
at the city hail yesterday for this
year. Several registered, among
them five women. One of them
balked when asked her age. City
Attorney Stiles came in and said
she did mot need to tell; all she
has to do is swear she Is over 81.
The registrars, however, desire
the age of everybody as it is ne
cessary to make the record COM
plete and prevent frauds. The
women who fail to give the cor
rect age are not expected to be

PEDESTRIANS
IN DANGER

People who are obliged to walk
from the Sixth avenue car term
inus in a westward direction are
complaining OF a narrow plank
walk crossing a pool of water
about three blocks from the term
mus. 1t Is claimed the danger
exists not only from the water but
because this particular spot has no
electric lights, making 1t an ideal
place for thugs who are just now
reapfng a harvest in Tacoma.

orally criticized. He puts the fate
of Jesus, before the crucifixion, In
the hands of Mary Magdalene, who
is given the choice, by the Roman
centurion, of yielding herself to
him or having Jesus put to death.
Olga Nethersole plays the leading
role. The scene in which, after
she has refused to yield herself to
the Roman, she watches Jesus pass
toward Calvary, is little short of
shocking.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
WITHIN NARROW MARGIN. feseerday's Price Movement Showed No Strong Tendency Either Way.

New York, April 13.-Trading was again of an altogether perfunctory na- ture on the stock exchange today. The market developed no discernible ten dency in either direction and prices moved In an unusually narrow range. With three days intervening before the next session of the exchange, trad CTS did not wish to commit themselves to new enterprises, especially in view of the fact that next Monday. when business is to be resumed, is the su- prerle courts decision day" and may bring rulings in the antitrust cases. PrfcAs at the end of the day in most cSzes were within small fractions of the close of the preceding session, and the total number of shares traded in was close to the low point of the year.
 Missouri Pacific f1uctuated more widely than any of the other active stocks and made a small net gain on the day. The short interest in this stock is believed to have been extend ed largely on it's recent severe decline, and covering of contracts doubtless was largely responsible for it's rally
 United States Steel showed distinct
 heavxhess at times, and there were in fervals of weakness in Reading Un- Jon Pacific and other leaders. Pennsyl- vania was sold freely and lost ground on the day. Speculation was not in-
 nuenced by tile course of events at
 Washington, though the work of con- gress is being watched with keen in- terest by Wall street.

 April returns of gross railroad earn ings began to come in today. Gross earnings of + roads for the first week of April showed an increase of about
 per cent over the corresponding pc riod of last year. Combined reports for the month of. March showed a de- crease in gross of less than per cent. Reports of net earnings. in March are awaited with more than usual ir- terest, since they will show the results of opera tiops in the first full month

 Call money was somewhat firmer to- day as a result of the demand from brokers for funds for the usually long period over the end of the week Bonds were steady. Total sales, par

SECOND BASE WELL
 GUARDED FOR HARVARD
Crimson Nine Has Bob Potter on tho
 Midway Bag.


 The pivotal position on the Harvard baseball team, second base, will be the strongest on the nine, and Bob Potter is the man who will be seen covering lots of ground around the sack all the season.
 Potter is, with the exception of Cap tain Mclaughlin, the one Crimson player who is sure of a place on the nine; for, beside his ability to handle everything that comes his way from the bat he is a strong and steady hit ter, one who can almost always be re- lied on to drive out single at the op- perfume moment.
 Harvard has been fortunate in the last five years in having some natural ball players to cover it's second sack, and Potter is one of the men who fits in under this heading.
 His form is not finished, but he is always on deck to get in the way of the hottest line drives The old liar ward fans recall the days of Hal Me- Call, who held down second for three years on the Crimson nine in the same fine fashion that has made Potter fa- mOIIS

HAIL STORM BREAKS UP DILL GAME
Players and Spectators Driven Under Shelter of Seats St. Louis-Score Sheets Were Soaked and Lost Records Made Up From Loose Notes.

St. Louis. April 13.-A heavy wind and hail storm, during which the flag pole broke and crashed into the bleachers and the players were driven from the diamond hy the angry skies, brought the Cleveland St. Louis American league game to an abrupt ending in the first half of the ninth inning.
 Spectators in the grandstand, news paper men and the official scorer in the press box were obliged to take refuge under the seats, and many were severely bruised by hailstones. The scorers record was ruined and he was obliged to make up new one from borrowed notes. The score reverted back to the eighth inning, though one run had 6een made, three men were on bases. and there were no men out. The final score was to in favor of the local team.
