Evansville Closes First Series
Of Three Games Here
This Afternoon.
THE MOGUL STANDS SECOND
Only GAINESVILLE Is Outranking
The MOguls In First Ten
Games.

The Moguls opened the Evansville
series Thursday afternoon by giving
the visitors a walloping by the score
of 8 to 8. in a game that was at no
time a doubtful contest. The Hoos
iers are a husky bunch ofbig fellows
but are not well organized and their
playing showed lack of experience.
The Moguls have made several re-
cent changes. Kuykendall. pitcher,
and Harris, shortstop. were let out
Wednesday. Enloe, an old Kitty
player, is on short and there are
enough pitchers without Kuykendall.
Webper is now playing End, Conrad
LIST and Burnett 3rd. Smith was
hurt Wednesday and Dayton is
catching and doing well except in
handling foul pop-ups, which seem

NEW GAME LAW
Requires a License Before Any
One Can Hunt Off His Own
Lands.

The new hunting law will go into
effect next week and it will then be
unlawful to hunt without a license
except on your own premises, owned
or leased. The law also applies to
SEEMING, trapping or.dynamiting fish.
The penalty is a fine or imprison-
ment, or both and the confscation of
the outfits captured.
Resident hunters that have lived
in the State IL months preceding,
may obtain license by paying 81 90.
Non-residents must pay SIS. They
are issued by the County Clerks on
proper application. who will furnish
blanks for the purpose.
Our County Clerk has not yet been
supplied with blanks, but will be in
a few days, we are told. in time for
the hunters to be ready for the open
ing season of squirrel and young
rabbits June Is.
All persons hunting without a Ii.
cense in possession. ready to be ex.

ished by fine of not less than Fifty
Dollars (S50) nor more than Two
Hundred Dollars (S2OO,) to which

help to protect the fish and birds.
The law is also very stringent in
in regard to killing song birds.

Tommie started for home, his
eyes blinded with tears. Grandma

ting needles clicking, and her kind
old ewes taking in all that passed on
the street.

ALLEGED COAL COMBINE
ATTACKED BY UNCLE SAM
Arguments Are Begun Before
United States Court
in Columbus.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 1.-Argu-
ments in the governments antitrust suit
brought under the Sherman laws against
charging restraint of trade and monopoly
of the bituminous coal industry of Ohio.
West Virginia and Pennsylvania, before
three judges OF the United States cir
cult court of appeals, were begun today.
Before nightfall. it was expected, the case
would be in the hands of the court
District Attorney Mcpherson Of Cincin-
natl opened for the government. He laid
great stress upon the traffic agreements
existing between the railroads named in
the suit and maintained no sane railroad
would have given up the use of its tracks
to its competitor unless an unlawful ar
rangement existed.
This is case of tweedle dee-twee-
die dunn. Now you see IL; now you don't -
said Mcpherson, in telling the court OF
the identity OF the interests of the Hook
ing Valley. owned by the Chesapeake and
Ohio. and the Toledo and Ohio Central,
owned by the Lake Shore.
That the trackage arrangements be-
tween the roads consisted merely in lone
man making a contract with himself SO
that no matter how arranged he could
Mr.. Mcpherson.
The entire history OF the old-time COM
bine was raked over by Mr.. Mcpherson.
BEGINNING with the plan of J. P. Morgan
& Co. by which the Hooking Valley road
got control Of the coal and transporta-
ton facilities of three states and ending
with the present cause of litigation.
Attorney John II. Doyle of Toledo was
scheduled to follow Mr.. Mcpherson with
an argument on behalf OF the railroads.

HUTCH|NS' REQUEST TO
SEE. FATHER DENIED
Chief Justice Discharges Rule
Issued on Mrs.
Hutchins.

Chief Justice Clabaugh today dis.
charged the rule issued on Mrs: Rose
Keeling Hutchins to show cause why
she should not permit visits to her
husband. Stilson Hutchins. who is ILL.,
from his son. Walter Stilson Hutchins.
The son had charged that despite re-
quests In writing to her attorneys and
personal calls at the residence 1908
Massachusetts, avenue northwest he had
not been permitted to see his parent
since last November.
The request Of the son was denied with
out prejudice. and 1t is understood an
other such request will be made by Wal
ter Hutchins to the court.
In her answer to the rule Mrs. Hutch
ms says her husbands son knew that
for long time prior to January. 1910
he was persona non grata to her and
forbidden to come to her house, and that
this state of affairs was known to her
husband.
She says the sons have been allowed
to see their father four times since the
financier returned from Narragansett
of November II last were made when the
father was considered desperately i'll.
The physicians In charge OF her hus-
band had forbidden the receiving of WISH
tors. but as November IA was the birth
day of her husband she requested that
his sons be allowed to see him.
The result of the visit. she states, was
to excite greatly Mr.. Hutchins, and
since that time no visits have been al
lowed. Mrs. Hutchins says her hus-
band employed the physicians who are
in attendance on him. and she has seen
no reason to interfere with their con-
troll Of the patient.
DR.. w. Gerry Morgan and Dr. T. T..
Sewers cOrroborated Mrs. Hutchins In
atfidavits attached to her answer. Dr.
Morgan says the last visit OF Walter
Hutchins brought on an attack of hys-
terra.
William ]. Dante, trustee Of the
Hutchins estate. filed an answer to the
request of Mrs. Hutchins that her al
lowance for household expenses be in
creased to $4,000 monthly because she
finds 1T impossible to run the house
and keep from mourning debts on her
present allowance of $1,000. Mr.. Dante
says the Hutchins household was main
tanned throughout 1908 for q total ex-
penditure of s13.379.39, which included
sanitorium charges and the cost Of a
trip to Europe.
In 1909 the yearly expense account of
Mr.. Hutchins tOtaled $14.2O1.S7.
Chief Justice Clabaugh intimated he
would adopt the suggestion Of Nathaniel
Wilson. guardian of Stilson Hutchins,
that list Of her expenditures be SUBJ
mitted by Mrs. Rose Keeling Hutchins.
and that the trustee furnish a detailed
account of the income of the estate and
of the cost Of maintaining Mr.. Hutchins
and his wife prior to the execution OF
the deed of trust in April. 1870 No
order was signed to this effect however.

RAPS LADING BILL PRACTICES.
Testimony of General Counsel Of Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad.

General Counsel Hugh L. Bond Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad declared
before the Senate committee on inter-
state commerce today that "as COM
pared with holding up taxicabs. the
frauds possible under the present bill
Of lading practices would be a COM
paratively safe industry"
Mr.. Bond was one Of a number of rail-
road attorneys who testified regarding
proposed reforms in lading bill meth
DDS, designed to safeguard these docu.
ments and to hold railroads to strict
liability for them. He favored action.
but wanted an opportunity first for
the counsel in the case to get together
and work out. detail by detail, salts
factory adjustment as a legislative
basis, conserving at the same time the
interests of the banks.
General Counsel A. p. Thorn Of the
Southern railway also testified for the
railroads. calling attention particularly
to cotton bills of lading and to large
forgeries that have taken place.

GOAL Miners REFUSE
TO MEET EMPLOYERS
English Strikers Decline Con-
ference Suggested by
Premier Asquith.

LONDON, March Premier AsquIth
today invited the miners executive COM
mittee to meet the coal owners. but the
men declined. saying they had nothing to
discuss. They had, they said, placed
their schedule of minimum rates on the
table, and they would maintain that
position until otherwise instructed by
the miners
Million Men Out.
With the exception OF a few small
colieries situated In isolated districts,
all the coal mines Of the country
are idle this morning. Some OF
those places where work is still going on,
notably in Warwickshire. where 10000
men are employed, the miners will join
the strikers tomorrow. The only mine In
the country where the men have decided
to remain at work and not to join the
strike is a little one in northern Wales,
and here the mining Is carried on under
police protection. An official return Is
sued this morning estimates the number
of strikers who have already laid down
their tools as 1,49.4N In most or the
colliery districts the men are taking al
vantage of the strike to enjoy holiday,
and no trouble Is anticipated
Wales Danger Spot.
The greatest danger spot is in south
Wales, where the most determined spirit
prevails and where the union funds are
only sufficient to provide strike pay to
the men for short time.
The railways throughout Wales issued
notices today that their train services
would be curtailed, and other railways
in Great Britain will follow this eN-
ample tomorrow.
The Miners Federation resumed Its
conferences this morning, and one OF
the members expressed the opinion that
the negotiations with the owners wouit
be successfully terminated in the course
of next week. Public opinion generally
| indorses the governments decision to
pass q minimum wages bill unless the
owners agree to that principle, which
has already been consented to by SO pei
cent of the employers.
Steamers Held Up.
The conference adjourned after dele
eating to the executive committee full
power to continue the negotiations with
| the owners and to summon the conference
| to meet again whenever 1t shall be neces-
sary. Several hundred steamers are held
up at the various ports through lack OF
coal. but the large transatlantic lines as.
