CITY WON
County High School Track
Meet on Reid Field.

Fountain City won the track meet
of the township high schools of Wayne
county Saturday afternoon on Reid
Field at Earlham college. The dope
sheet" before the meet did not show
that Fountain City had been picked
as the winner. but her athletes sue
ceeded in gaining forty points, most
ly on center field events. Green's
place in the meet. 1t looked for a
time as if the Greensboro athletes had
the lead. and it was only by the hard
est work that Fountain City succeed
ed in forcing ahead, and then only by
two points, as Greensboro checked up
at thirty-eight at the finish. Center
vile was given third place with thirty
points to her credit. The work of
this school on the track was the fea-
ture of the afternoon. Her run
ners showed the best form and sue
ceeded in winning the distance events
with ease. Centerville also captured
the pole vault, with an exhibition of
skillful vaulting that showed good
training. The weather was cold, and
the wind made it hard for the runners
in some of the events and high jumps.
but the meet was satisfactory from
most standpoints and proved a source
of entertainment for the Earlham stu
dent body.

ious nature be disclosed. The power
of the press is great and every T. p
A has brains enough to know it. The
power of the press-chairman is greater
and the very fellows who have at
times been riotous in talk have since
come to eat out of the hand of the
press committee. Many tales have
been told that sounded like mere
jokes but in every instance the truth
has been given perhaps with a little
sugar or chocolate coating to sooth
the 7. p. A.~member who happened to
be beating up his family or stuffing
his order book. If there has been any
misrepresentation of any member it
has been unintentional because no T.
P. A. press chairman ever misrepre
sents. The retiring chairman quits
his job with the best of feeling for ev-
cry one and only regrets that he is
forced TO relinquish his valued posi-
tiOn. The insurgents. those upon
whose toes the press has tread, have
been successful in their fight and
have placed him in an office where he
can no longer tell his little story.
Farewell boys, a long farewell.

That was the first time Kelly was
arrested He served two years at Nc
Neifs island. The second time he es-
capped on the way to the prison by
jumping through window of a pas
senger while being taken from Sumas
to Tacoma The next time he Jump
ed his bond of $7oo. and returned to
the profitable but dangerous game.
Kelly has served seven years in the
McSeirs island and other prisons for
smuggling. 1t cost the federal gov.
ernment several thousand dollars to
apprehend him each time and each
capture has been but new lesson to
Kelly in evading the customs officers.
Since the United States placed the
ban on the importation of opium into
this country the price has increased
to $50 a pound, and is advancing stead
lily in the sound country. The officers
stationed on the boundary say that
hundreds of pounds are being SNUG
gled into Washington every month
and sent from this state to other
points in the northwest.
The customs officers say that acct
aniline. n coal tar product. which. in
measure, takes the place of opium
for smoking also is being smuggled
into the country. 1t is put up in ounce
packages and is SO light that large
quantities may be carried about the
person or be secreted easily.

TO DECIDE WEDNESDAY

Definite decision will be reached
Wednesday in all probability, relative
to the difficulty encountered with the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis and East
ern Traction company complying with
the original specifications for the i'm
provement of the National Road from
West Fifth street to the Center-Wayne
township boundary line. An all after
noon session was held Saturday with
the commissioners by a representa-
tive of the company, and much was
said, but little accomplished.
At the conclusion of the meeting, it
was decided that another meeting
should be held on Wednesday when
the matter again will be aired. Con.
tractor Cronin has served notice on
the county commissioners that the
original terms of the contract are to
be complied with and no notifications
made at this late hour.

began pouring into the country from
over the British Columbia border and
for months the customs inspectors
searched the country in an effort to
trace the smuggler. Finally one over
heard conversation between two
prosperous business men at Olympia,
the capital of Washington.
The price has gone up" said one.
How much did you put ine"
"Oh. couple of hundred. When
does he get in with it,
That was the clew. The inspector
camped along the sound. played fan

quietly to his fellow officer, and he
will not have time to throw the dope

Caught With the Goods.
At 11:55 O'Clock on the morning ten
days later they darted from the shore

he died along in his sloop. Five hun

the hold.

POORHOUSE FACES
FREED SMUCGLtR
Opium Trader Who Fooled
Detectives for Years, Re-
leased at Age of 70.

Spokane, April 21.-Broken in body
and spirit by confinement in the fed
eral prison at McNeil's island. Wash.
where he served four terms. Lawrence
Larry Kelly, declared by custom
officers to be the shrewdest and most
daring opium smuggler they have en-
countered on Puget sound during the
last three decades. was turned adrift
few days ago. He is seventy-three,
his strength is wasted, his nerve is
gone and he is without dollar. Tn
less former accomplices come to his
aid with part of the fortune he made
for them at the risk of his life and
freedom it is likely the veteran will
pass the rest of his days in poor
house.
Kelly's smuggling days are over. He
is a broken down sailor. He is today
under the surveillance of customs Off
cials and will be followed by them to
the grave. He never confessed or i'm
plicated others and he had the reputa-
tion of being square with those who
profited by his traffic. though he had
opportunities to fleece them whenever
he brought a sloop load of contraband
goods into the country.
Smuggling always appealed to Kelly
as game of chance. to be indulged in
only for the excitement and the salts
faction of eluding the officers. He did
not sail under the black flag for the
profit and it is known that he never
fired shot or harmed any one. He
was qualified for masters papers and
could have commanded any craft en-
gagged in regular traffic, but the sea
was too tame for him. He would rath-
er lounge in his little sloop, schem-
ing to outwit the customs men by find
ing loopholes in their carefully drawn
picket line.
He Always Worked Alone.
Kelly was successful in many of his
adventures between the Canadian
shores and the mainland in Washing
ton and Oregon, and it is believed he
smuggled several hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars worth of contraband
goods, including opium, into the Unit
ed States during the last fifteen years
He always worked alone, and, al
though he deserted when arrested the
last time, he would give not the least
inkling as to who financed the expedi-
tions or who assisted him. He said
little at the trial and was convicted,
following a brief hearing, and SEN
fenced to serve two years.
Kelly was born in New York of a
family of sailors. He drifted about
the world until about fifteen years
ago, when he reached Puget Sound.
For while he worked on sailing ves-
sells and then purchased a small
sloop. He loafed and fished. Opium

The Smart Set.

A three-act musical comedy that
differs from its contemporaries in
divers ways will be the next attrac-
ton at Howard Theater, week COM
menCing April sd. 1t is from the pen
of Edwin Hartford, and is entitled
His Honor the Barber" As pre-
sented by the famous Smart Set"
Company, with s. H. Dudley in the
stellar role, the offering has become
one of the real treats of the season.
Although the comedy contains fifteen
original song hits, musical numbers
and ensembles, it could easily hold its
own on the strength of its brisk and
humorous dialogue, situations, novel
ties, features, etc, and the interpreta-
ton of the company itself, which is
composed of sixty capable people.
Mr.. Dudley is seen at his best as
Raspberry Snow, Negro who wants
TO shave the President of the United
States. AS Mr.. Dudley portrays the
character it becomes one of the fun
niest and best developed types seen
heTeabOutS IN years. "RaStus," the
trained donkey, which was such ia
vOrite last season, has been retained.
'Rastus' is the constant companion
of Raspberry, and we have many
side-splitting adventures during the
action of the play. In point of du-
rable excellence, style and originality,
the comedy is said to be the most
DretentiOus ever offered in years.
Edwin Hanford wrote the book, and
Messrs. Brim, Smith and Burris fur
nished the lyrics and music, and
Messrs. Barton and Wiswell are the
owners. The costumes, which are
said to be the most original seen on
the stage in many day, were select
ed from plates furnished by William
H. Barnes.
Aida Overton Walker forms an at
tractive part of the production. She
will introduce a singing and dancing
speciality said to be the best of its
kind offered on any stage. Matinees
as usual.

Baseball at Howard.

A call for candidates for the base
ball squad was announced March I,
and about forty primising aspirantS
responded. The men for the first few
days were put through hard practice,
but, on account of bad weather inter
vening and lack Of a gymnasium for
indoor work, our men are forced to
stop training and go around with sore
arms until good outdoor weather is
promised. Quite a number OF the old
veterans are back this year, including
Tyson, ex-Capt. Young, BarcO, Allen,
Turner and Hunt, but as most of
these men are seniors and probably
will not travel, the team will be com
posed mostly of new material. Kid
Bice, the three-hngered slab artist
from Annapolis, who has always got
ten the college boys goat with his
famous spit-ball curves, will be with
us this season; also Turner, the south
paw varsity man of last year and
who won nine out of eleven games
he pitched up in the New England
States last summer. Bullet Slaugh-
ter, from Iowa College, is showing
great form on third base and as a hit
ter; also Avery, the midget third base
man, plays a hard and consistent
game. Capt Oliver is out every after
noon and puts his men through hard
practice, and is well pleased with the
early showing of his men. The man
ager, who for the past four years has
been a varsity pitcher, on account of
increased responsibility placed On the
manager, most likely will not be seen
in the game this season. Willie
White, a second Hal Chase, from At
lanta University, is with us this year,
and is showing professional class on
the initial sack The only weakness
seems to be behind the bat, although
there are several well-recommended
backstOps among us this year, includ-
ing J. M. Hays, Ed. Gray, the heavy
hitter, and Downing, from Biddle Uni
versity. Big Chief Chandler, who
knocks the ball into the bOokhouse
nearly every time he comes up, is out
for first and second. Other candidates
are Shaw, Whitfield, Scoup, McClel-
len, Fhppen, Garvin and Givens. The
first game of the season with be with
