ers. but they look the part. To say
they are proud of Marty's unique place
in the baseball hall of fame expresses
It with the soft pedal working over

weeks after his return home and are
now absolutely convinced that 1t Is
all right. They make this statement
collectively and. individually. When
tally to watchdog of the press it's
bound to be right and the brothers
eolemnly aver, privately as well as
publicly, that the Pittsburg represen-
tative Of the tribe O'Toole is fit as the
proverbial fiddle.
Matty is taking mighty good care
this winter of that priceless flinging
apparatus which constitutes his chief
stock in trade. He is convinced that

band. and that 1t has already been en-
tirely overcome by q continued appli.

No More Bowling.
In the good old days when Marty
was just an ordinary ball player he
picked bowling as lusty winter sport,
but he doesn't daily with the alley

he thought 1t would be fine stunt to

Nowadays his daily practice is to

enthusiasm over an uphill hike in
stormy weather. He figures this in

Needless to say, Marty is the hero
OF his home town and he is kept pref
ty busy lodging dinner engagements,
receptions and the like. He is a mod.
est lad and about as talkative as Con-
ME Mack when it comes down to dis
cussfng self. While the PittsburR prize

FOUR DEATHS
Either Deliberate Murders or Acci.
dental Poisoning by Gas.

dcntal POisOning by saS.
Philadelphia, Jan. 10.-Death by
poison or gas fumes Of four persons.
whose fully clothed bodies were found
today. has given the coroner ana po.
lice mystery which they are stren-
uously endeavoring to solve.
Mrs. Bridget Flanagan. who Is one
OF the dead. hept a boarding house.
Ten days ago she was deserted by her
husabnd. Since. she was morose and
Respondent. She was in. fairly pros
porous circumstances. but her hus-
mind. This furnishes the basis for
one theory. that she killed herself
and the three others. II this theory
is correct cyanide Of potassium Is be-
lteved to have been the poison she
used. She was 50 years Of age. Her
daughter. Annie Flanagan aged 10
years .and Joseph Flanagan. aged Is
months. an adopted child. died with
her: The fourth body was that Of
Catharine Murray. aged ls years. a
boarder In the house. who recently
came to this country from Ireland,
who slept with Mrs. Flanagan.
Omcials are unable to determine
whether the deaths were caused by
coal gas or poison administered in
milk. of which all four had partaken.
The poison theory Is supported by the
finding Of some crystals in an empty
milk pitcher. These crystals are to
be analyzed.
Mrs. Hannah Curran, q sister Of
Mrs. Flanagan, was found unncon-
scious in another room. Physicians
state she Is suffering from pneumonia,
and are unable to determine whether
she also was poisoned. Her son, Phil
ip. aged II years. and her daughter,
Marguerite. aged 18 years, told the
police they had felt sick, but are not
in a serious condition.

Theophile Delcasse. who once more
has taken charge of the ministry of
foreign affairs. has had proba bly, more
experience in that department than
any other statesman of France. He
had the portfolio of foreign affairs
from 1898 until 1906. during which
time he saw FIVE different cabinets
come and go. In all probability he
would have continued in the office cv-
en- longer but for the fact that his
policy, especially with regard to Mo-
rocco. was viewed with SO much disfa-
vor by the German emperor that the
two countries almost came to blows.
He is 55 years old and began his ca
reer as a newspaper writer.

Berlin, Jan. l0.-Preparattons for

a curious contrast to the procedure

Radical gains from the Conservatives

Minors Allowed in Pool Hall

Four pool hall proprieters of
Aberdeen have been arrested,
charged with permitting minors
to frequent their places. Three
pleaded guilty aud paid their fines.
The fourth fought the case and
gave bonds for his appearance at
the next term of the circit court.
The pool hall proprieters complain
that it is frequently impossible to
tell whether a young man is under
age or not, and will insist upon
the authorities carrying out the
other provision of the state law
regulating pool halls, which pro-
vides for fning parents of minors
who are allowed to frequent such
places. They argue that if the
parents are fined they will exert
care to see their boys stay away
and thereby relieve the pool hall
people of a part of the burden.

N. ". A. ADOPTS NEW RATES
This Measure was Passed by
Head Camp by vote of
4O6 to 2O7

Chicago, Jan. 20: The head
camp OF the Modern Woodmen of
America adopted the proposed re-
adjustment plan increasing the
life insurance rates of the society
and closed the adjourned regular
meeting here today. The measure

The re-rating proposal was
made by the head officers after no
tice from sixteen states that they
had adopted a uniform fraternal
insurance bill which had been
drafted by state insurance experts
at Mobile, Ala, and therefore
known as the Mobile bill THIS
notice warned the society that GER
tain requirements would be made
before a continuation of business
would be permitted.
Figures showing the condition
of the society were prepared by
head officers anG the statement was
made that in 1914, under present
plans, the lodge would be unable
to pay $3,OOO,O 900 of its liability
or about 1858 on $1,000 policy.
State insurance commissioners
spoke for the measure which was
opposed by many speakers AS
plan not in accord with fraternal
insurance ideas.
The plan adopted today, which
will be in force after one year,
will increaae rates of members less
than "a years old by from 50 to
100 per cent. Members more than
"a may not be assessed more than
80 each assessment for each 81 900

The execution was without fea-

The murderer spent his last night
quietly, resting only part of the

Wolter wrote his denial of the
killing. 1t was on a single sheet,
and so even and clear were the
letters formed that the writing had
