CooDey Starkell Is
Signed With Tigers;
Vancouver, Waivers

Another husky twirler of repu-
tation has been signed up by
President A. E. Rothermel of the
Tacoma baseball club. This new
Tiger is not new to. the Tacoma
fans for he is Cooney Starkell who
began pitching last year with Vic
toria but was laid on the shelf
when he sprained his arm. Then
he was made over into an UNI
pire and proved a good one.
Yesterday Starkell received
word from Victoria that since his
name had been left off the reserve
list because of his umpiring he
was a free agent. Fielder Jones,
president of the Northwestern
league, has thus far only drafted
three umpires and Cooney was
left off the list. Mike Lynch had
his eyes on Cooney and the Tiger
heads lost no time in signing him
up.
Friday Is to be ladies day"
this year, says President Rother-
mel. On all other days the female
of the species will have to cough
up two-bits coin to gain entrance
to the grand stand. This action
was taken after a number of fe-
male fans had preached the sub
ject to the new Tiger president.
Automobile fans, horse fans
and all other vehicle fans are also
due for a shock. In the future no
vehicles will be allowed inside the
grounds. Last year autos and
buggies were admitted with occu-
pants at 25 cents each. The
grounds were badly cut up by the
wheels and it cost more to keep
them in shape than the returns
amounted to. In the future autos
will have to stand outside while
the fans PUNK down for grand
stand or bleacher seats.
There will be turnstiles at the
grounds. This innovation follows
decision reached at the league
directors meeting.
According to dispatches reach
ing here yesterday, Vancouver has
fines out for some husky and
capable players. Waivers have
been asked by that club for Pitch
ers Buckles, Theils, Collins, Jarvis,
Thompson, McQuary and Coates,
Catcher Shea, a youngster, and
Outfielder Frisk.
None of these men, as far as
can be learned were wanted for
the Tigers. The bunch lined up
so far Is as strong squad as
there is in the Northwest and

But on February %, Champion
Attell meets a boy liable to wrest
his title from him. Johnny Kill

his credit, including recent wins

Kilbane fought Attell ten

Kilbane is at Venice, near Los

Johnny Coulon and Tommy Kill

related. Johnny has defeated
Tommy but recently they made
Up, after an enmity of years.
1t was Tommy Kilbane who
boxed Attell in Cleveland, the
night the champions shoulder
was broken. This accident, it is
said, started Abe on the back
ward journey. Kilbane outweigh
ed Attell and was winning when
the accident occurred. 1t would
be strange if Johnny should win
from Abe, using Tommy as a step
ping stone to the championship.

1t was not until Johnny knock
ed out Rivers that he became a
national figure. Rivers won a de-
cision over Kilbane in one bout,
but refused to meet him again un-
til he saw Kilbane just shade
Patsy Kline. While watching this
bout he decided Kilbane would be
easier and fell into a cleverly
also graduated from the feather
weight class. He Is confident he
can beat the Mexican and il he
does he will jump into a COM
handing position.
Few victories surprised the
fight fans more than Johnny Kill
bane's knockout of Rivers. John
NY was not supposed to possess a
punch, and when he knocked out
the tough Mexican, it was a shock.
Also, as Kilbane tells it, the K. o.
was the result of a careful plan.

MEETING HELD YESTERDAY BY
COUNTY DEMOCRATIC Ex.
EcuTIvE COMMITTEE.
ASSESSMENTS OF CANDIDATES
Committee Fixed the Amounts that
Various Candidates Must Pay and
Disposed of Other Matters Relative
to the Primary.

The democratic executive commit
te.s met at t:,e courthouse yeste4
cay at noon for the purpose of making
arrangements for the state prinary TO
e held on August 81. While the
county primary occurred early in the
slt.lg. still there are num- : f
ca tests to be decided at the state
rni' ~ this month, and the commit-
tee met yesterday to fix the amount
OF assessments on the various candi-
dates, name the election managers
and dispose of other business rela-
tive to the primary.
The offices for which candidates are
to be nominated at the approaching
primary are congressman. solicitor
of the Brunswick circuit, represent
atlye, and the various state offices,
from governor on down the line. No
assessment, however, is placed on
the candidates for state officers. as
it would be considered an injustice
to make them pay an assessment in
every county in the state, therefore
the candidates for congress, solicitor
and representative will pay the ex-
peEses of the primary.
The managers named for the pri-
mary at the various county precincts
were the following:
Brunswick, ]. T. Lambright, A, M.
Haywood, L. M. Orr.
ST. Simon, J. H. Shadman. J. H.
Postell, W. c. Taylor.
Fancy Bluff, R. NJ. Searlett. Alex
Livingston, J. R. Smith.
1956th district, T. w. Lamb. G. w.
Wright, and one other.
1449 district, B. F. Lewis, w. r..
Lang, and one other.
The primary promises to be an un-
usually interesting one in this coun-
ty, insomuch as there are several
contests on, there being opposition
for congress, for solicitor of Bruns-
wick circuit and for representative in
the legislature. A senator will also
be nominated for this district, but,
under the rotation system, it is Charl-
ton county's time to elect the sena-
tor, therefore the voters of the other
two counties will not vote in the pri-
mary.

1IPPIN'S BILL VETOED
BY GOVERNOR BROWN
JUDGE SpEER REFUSES TO
TRY HUFF FOR CONTEMPT
LEFT LAST NIGHT FOR NOVA
scoTIA--JUDGE PARoEE WILL
HEAR THE CASE.

Macon, July 3I-Judge Emory
Speer declined to try the contempt
charge against Col w. S. HUFF, who
yesterday was arrested on an at
tachment issued by Judge Speer for
a letter in which Judge Speer's off
ciai and private character was at
ttcked. The judge at the hearing
'ins morning overruled a demurrer OF
Colonel Huff's counsel that he was
without the Jurisdiction in the case
as the matter was one for grand
j'Iry to indict and jury to try. Judge
Sleer entered into long defense oi
i,il.self and made a vigorous denial
Of all the charges, saying that none
of Colonel Huff's assertions were
true. He wound up by saying ne re-
fused to try the case and that il
would be necessary to get another
judge.
This means that Judge Don Par
Gee of the circuit court, will have tc
designate the new judge to try the
r.se and that it will hardly come ur
before next fall
Judge Speer left tonight for Nova
Scotia.

SAYS MEASURE IS
MOST TOO DRASTIC
FOR VARIOUS OTHER REASONS,
THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE
BILL is A POOR ONE.
FAVORs THE PRESENT LAW
"If the People Would Enforce the
Present Prohibition Law It Would
Seem Sufficient said Governor in
vetoing New Measure.

Atlanta, July 31.-Gov Joseph M.
Brown today vetoed the Alexander
Tirpins bill which prohibited the sale
in this state of near beer and so
limited the percentage of alcohol as
al ingredient that many patent med
icines would haye been excluded
from sale.
In his veto message to the legis.
lature the governor declared that
the measure was entirely too drastic.
and took the lawmakers to task for
trying to play politics." He said If
the people enforced the present pro-
hihition law it would seem sufficient.
Governor Brown called attention to
the fact that if the sale of near-b beer
was abolished it would abolish the
near beer tax, amounting to $24S,S55,
and that this amount of taxes would
have to be raised from other sources.
Therefore, the result would be-
he said, that the 131 counties which
now pay none of the near beer tax
would be forced to pay $14S,313 so per
year, and the Is counties, including
those wherein are the large cities
which now pay the entire amount Of
$248,S55 would only pay $99,51440 Of
that amount.

Prosecution Scored Point.

The prosecution scored an impor-
tant point in the trial this morning
when Judge Roam declined to permit
the introduction by the defense 'for
the purpose of comparison of letters
which had not previously been sub
mitted to the other side.
The mysterious letters mentioned
so frequently yesterday were again
uI,oer discussion
l. H. Hill, Grace's step-uncle, was
snowr, by counsel for the defense a
letter written in pencil, and asked if
it was Grace's handwriting.
Witness said he did not know.
did yol identify Grace's hand
writing, on IN envelope yesterday"
Yes
The witness said he was not. sure
the letter in question was written by
Grace, because it was Igned Gene"
He said every letter he ever saw
written by Grace was signed Eugene
Fl Grace"
Counsel then .endeavored to show
the witness and letter signed Gene
which he thought the witness could
identify.
Solicitor Dorsey objected and was
SUI tanned by the court.
Famous AIlbi Letters.
The letter in question is said to be
one of the famous "alibi letters" 1t
is said to be dated Tuesday night"
am 20 start as follows:
My Own Darling Wife,"
Iii this letter supposed to have been
written on the night of the day Mrs.
Grace left for Newman, was one
phrase: After l left you at the
train" 4
The state is attempting to show, it
is said, that Mrs. Grace wrote this
letter to herself, post dated it and
signed her husbands name to it and
had mailed it to herself at Newman,
in order to establish an alibi.
The defense apparently is trying to
prove that the letter was written by
Grace himself.
Grace was not in court during the
morning session, which was largely
taken up with wrangling between
counsel over the letters.
Mrs. Grace probably will take the
stand tomorrow morning.
Establishment of motive for the
CRIME was the plan of the prosecu-
ton when the trial of Mrs. Daisy Opie
Grace for the alleged shooting and
Wounding of her husband was re-
sumed here today.
The state alleges that $25,0OO life
Insurance carried by Grace prompted
his attempted destruction by his wife.
IN, basis for the introduction of evi-
dence in an effort to establish this
point was made yesterday, when Mrs.
s. L. Hill, mother of the wounded
man, testified that she suggested 70
her son that he take out life insur-
ance while he and his wife were Wis
iting her on their honeymoon. She
said that she thought it would be
good idea for them to be protected.
Final direct evidence for the pros.
ecution was expected to be introduced
during the day, and it was thought
that the defense would be able to
commence the examination of it's wit
nesses tomorrow.
The attorneys for the defense have
carefully guarded their plans, and lit
tie is known of the evidence to be
introduced. 1t was not known early
today whether Mrs. Grace would tes-
tify.
Grace, partially paralyzed as a re-
suit of the wound received, and who
almost collapsed at the conclusion of
his mothers testimony yesterday,was
very i'll in local hospital last night.
His condition was such today that it
was not considered probable that he
would attend today's session of the
trial.

The Cry Of the Guinea.

City. folk visiting country neigh bors
where guinea fowl are kept have Oft
en- wondered at the cry of those pre-
tentious creatures. Probably no other
member of the feathered tribes emits
cry as exasperating to human listen
ers as that of the guinea fowl. The
average man rarely hears it without
secretly longing to throttle the throat
from which it came.
Yet it has its uses Guinea fowl are
the policemen of the poultry yard.
They serve as guards to give other
fowl warning of the approach of dan
ger, whether it be in the form of
thieves, dogs. hawks or crows. The
cry of the guinea is said to be terrify.
ing to hawks and other predatory
birds, and it has prevented many a
raid upon tempting fiocks Of poultry.
But the fact remains that it Is an af-
front to the human ear.

Eear rded Ladies'"

n Prandt, a Danish professor
comes 10 5i7s conclusion that bearded,
ladies in time TO come viii be the or
der of the day. Ladies with boards
who are now to be seen may be re-
gafded as the precursors of the future
race, and the professor comes to the
conclusion that the more masculine
woman becomes in her habits so much
the more will she be in appearance.
He does not think that bearded ladies'
will become general until at least two
centuries have elapsed. His investi-
cations show that the number of Wo-
men with traces of mustaches, al
though clearly visible, increases but
slowly. The Paris contemporary from
which we take ths foregoing suggest
that the professor has missed the
great point which he might have made
and that is that as the number OF
men who shave increases daily ii
would follow that women would en-
deavor to grow boards from sheer
perversity.

The 'telharmonium" invented by T.
Thaddeus Cahill, furnishes what is
called electric music" not merely as
a transmitter and imitator, but as di-
rect producer of musical tones by
means of alternating electric currents
By combining these currents in differ
ent ways the operator at the key
board produces different qualities Of
tone. DR.. Cahill has recently made i'm
provements which render the instru-
ment capable of producing all sorts Of
entirely new tones of its own, while
its imitation of trumpets, horns, viols
and violins may be so perfect as to de-
ceive even the practiced ear of. mu-
sical hearer. A single receiver, it is
said, responds satisfactorily to any
sound from deepest bass to highest
treble. and to single note of pure
tone to a full chord of composite
tones.
