proved conclusively that the High

he had to lose by a score of I to 0.
Russell Ford, Of the daddies OF the
spttball. started yesterday but he was
plainly not In shape n a to retire.
In thres innings he was cracked for six
hits and Ave runs. Jack Warhop got
in just long enough TO retire the side
and then had to vacate to give VOL
verton n chance to bat in the pinch.
After that Mcconnell took up the JOB
and didn't do anything that would
greatly rebound "a his credit. He was
very wild Mt times and the free walks
that he distributed counted as heavily
against him as tho wallops did against
the others.
Though Groom was unsteady ne had .
curve ball that occasionally o won
derful breaks and the Highlanders were
guessing throughout the nine innings.
Williams started In as catcher but
for some reason he a taken out to
make room for Gabby Street. The lat
ter named gentleman had one OF his
very bad days and McConnell's I'M
steadiness made him worse.

JULIET, AGED IS, HAS
a 6O-YEAR-OLD ROMEO

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y Special
In her suit to compel her brothers,
George and John Lorenz. to return to
her the deed to a farm which she
says they obtained by fraud. Miss
Laura LorenZ siXty-five years old. says
her brothers kept her a prisoner in
an attic room of her home at Mattea-
wan to prevent her meeting Abram
Tilletts. sixty years old. whom she
once jokingly threatened to marry.
The brothers say they got her to
deed the property to them because
they feared she would marry her aged
sutton and share the property with
him. The farm. given to Miss I4o-
REM by her father many years ago. is
valued at $4,000.
Tilletts and Miss LorenZ were school
mates in Fishkill nearly half cen
fury ago. Tilletts went to California
when a youth to make a fortune, but
failed in his mission. He returned to
Matteawan two years ago to spend
his days in Duchess county. He found
the sweetheart of his boyhoOd days UNI
! married and renewed his attentions.
Miss Lorenz's brothers frowned upon
the aged fortune hunter. They pro-
tested to their sister and in jest she
says she threatened to marry Tilletts
Then. she asserts, George and John
/ locked her in the attic room. But

REM home weekly and, standing be-
meath Miss Lorenz's window, he re-
ceived notes she lowered with a string

argument in Brooklyn, Justice Ma

turned, smilingly.
Hemm applied to the court for an
extension of the time in which TO

AMERICANS HAVE PLACED
WOMAN ON A PINACLE
Return Of Sphere Hepmet Needed Solving Problem
of Costly Living, Declares Heller Rickety Pedestal

oIden times for every Sheba and
Cleopatra there were millions of wo-
men willingly complying with mans
demand to work and drudge. Dis
obedience meant shameless chastise-
ment and even death, but gradually
through the centuries woman fought
and planned and strove for a condi-
ton that comprehend an approach to
a plane OF equality with man.
With the removal OF each success
i've barrier her pent-up desire for
freedom, handed down for ages
through her ancestors, found it's ex-
preston in ever changing conditions
OF environment. If we interpret his
tory Alright, man may have been the
individual agent through whose
power the comforts of modern society
have been wrought, but woman has
been his inspiration.
When husband and wife work to-
gether they seldom fail to amass a
competence even in the humber
walks OF life. Throughout the resi-
dence districts of the city may be
found economical people of foreign
birth who got their start by the wife
taking charge of a flathouse while
her husband worked at his trade. To-
day they own the house from cellar
to roof, and their American tenants
wonder how they ever got property
worth anywhere from $4,000 to
100000. They did it by working
together and bringing up their chill
dren to work.
1t now seems as II the American
woman has been set on a pedestal to
be worshipped, and that this pedestal
has been built higher and higher on
it's slight foundation until the whole
social fabric has become rickety and
in danger of collapse. American wo-
men seem to abhor work in the home.
They do not like to cook or clean or
sew. These things have to be done
for them. and the cost of all this la
Dor which they should perform, or
oversee in large households. is the Sc
cret Of the high cost of living which
has been more truly described as 1.-The
cost of high living"

CUT SALARIES OF
STATE OFFICIALS
CuMO Nh VA-Snecsas.

RIG MON D. VA--Special.-
That officials OF this State. tho
judges and clerks and employees are
getting entirely too much money Is the
firm conviction of Delegate DuNaf
Radford. OF Bedford county.
He accordingly offered a bill In the
House today directing the FtnancS
Committee to cut down all salaries -
per cent which are now over $4,000: To
cut all salaries 10 per cent which are
now over $1,000-except, of course. NO
salary which is fixed by the Coasa-
tuition can be reduced
Not satisfied with such n general cut
in salaries. Mr.. Radford provides that
the pay OF the delegates shall be cut
s per cent.
His bill has been referred to the
House Committee on Finance, and II -
probable that a hearing on the salary
question will take place later In the
week.
There appears 10 be no disposition
on the part OF the members of the
House to cut their own salaries ana II
may be safely said that State officials
and employees are not likely TO endorse
any bill reducing their pay
Mr.. Radford, on account of the "uu-
usually high cost of living" provides.
however. that no man receiving $1,000
or less from the State shall have hts
salary reduced.
