BROWN HOLDS RECORD
FOR MAKING CHANGES

,erns Augie Moran's deaiing with
pitchers and batters IN Northwestern
league conflicts.
In every game there are from a
half 20 one dozen balls which could
be called either ball or strike. and I
always try 10 give the batter the best
OF the argument" said Fielder Jones'
diamond dictator.
why? Simply for this reason.
The pitcher has all the better of Il
by the foul strike rule. and I believe
that the advantage should lie with
the batter when II comes to doubtful
strikes.
This does not mean that the
pitcher Is 10 get the worst OF Il whom

The pitchers will continually com

over the corners or up TO n mans
knees and they will have no cause

These fellows who have So rnuch

Louis Americans young pitcher, from
being in the big league six years ago.
At that time Brown had a chance TO
go with the Brooklyn club. Brown
was only kid then. just starting
out In professional baseball.
He was pitching for an outlaw team
in West Virginia. and his club sched-
uled n game with the Superbas. None
OF the pitchers on the outlaw team
(there were twelve OF them) wanted
to face the big leaguers. so Brown
asked the manager II he could pitch.
Not having any other hurler willing
TO face the major leaguers the boss
allowed Elmer 10 60 10 me mound.
Brownie pitched one Of the best
games OF his career shutting out the
big leaguers striking out eight or
nine men and giving them only a
few scattered hits.
Brown won the heart OF the Brook
Ign manager in this game and after
the contest the big .engue manager
went into consultation with the man
ager for the team that Brown was
with. And right here was Elmcr's
chance TO go TO the major league.
but he did not have the heart. Had
he gone 10 the big league AZ that
time he might have been one OF the
Superbas' star pitchers.
This Brown person colds n peculiar
! record. In 1908 Elmer played with
seven clubs and in four leagues. He
started the season with Columbus in
the American association Then he
was sent 10 Lima in the Ohio State
league. from where he was recalled
! by Columbus. Billy Freel was at
that time manager of the American
association club. and after few
weeks sent Brown on the road once
more. This time he Went to the

pitching there just about a month he
was again given transportation TO

Cato Sells, Democratic Nation
al committeeman for Texas,
thinks 10 is possible to raise $50.
600 i'm this State for the cam.
paign fund needed To promote
the election of the presidential
ticket nominated at Baltimore.
This looks like a small amount
for five hundred thousand Dem
ocrats to contribute, even if none
of them gave more than 81 and
half the number gave nothing at
| all.
Mr. Sells is not asking anyone
to contribute more than dollar
nor intimating that even a small
er sum will not be duly appreciat
| ed by the committee, but he
realizes that only "a compare
lively small percentage of the
voters can be relied on for cam
paign Contributions than in any
amount, wherefore it is made
known that larger contributions
than 81 from loyal Democrats
anxious for the success of their
party ticket will be gratefully
accepted.
The desire of the leaders is
that the Democratic campaign
shall be financed by the people
not by the interests which might
expect special favors in return.
and to that end popular sub
scriptions are being solicited.
not only in Texas, but through
out the Union. 1t is not unlike
~ that the rank and file Of the
Democratic party might be re-
lieved of the necessity Of contri-
buting any money whatever TO
the campaign fund which is need
ed for legitimate expenses if
certain moneyed interests were
permitted to do the financing, as
seems to haye been done in
Roosevelts 1904 campaign and Is
now being done, apparently, by
George w. Perkins, Mcdill Me
Cormick, Frank Munsey and
Bin Finn for the Bull Moose.
These men are multimillionairS
identified with the steel and
harvester, trusts or with other
), big business, " and it would be
no trick at all for this quartet to
raise s., 900, 600 or S3, 10000 for
sampaign purposes from the
trusts with which they are from
their own private purses.
The Democratic committee
would not accept contributions
from such sources and hardly
looks for support from such
quarters. 1t does not require 4
vast sum to meet all legitimate
needs not more than the people
can give in way But loyal
Democrats must come forward
with their mite promptly or the
ticket may suffer for lack OF the
ancial support il must have.

DEFENSE RESTS
in MOSTAO CASE

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 21.-
The defense rested on the Mostad case
just before adjournment late yesterday
afternoon and the state is putting in
.rebuttal testimony this morning. There
is every indication that, unless the 1n-
foreseen should happen, the introduc-
tion of evidence in the case will he
finished today and the arguments viii
be taken UP on Friday morning. To-
morrow is a legal holiday and there
win be no session Of the court.
There were no DEVELOPMENTS In tbA
case yesterday, DR.. Wheeler and Dir.
j. d. Taylor of this city occupying the
stand all day as experts on the subject
of insanity. Their testimony was quite
similar to that offered by DR.. VIII
Hanson, both physicians stating that
in their opinion the act committed bv
Sylvia Mostad was due to disordered
mind. They also thought that the act
might have been due to frenzy which
would amount to insanity.
The defendant, as on the previous
day, lay on a cot during the entire
day. She appeared very weak and fol-
lowing the morning session adjourn
ment was taken until o'clock in the
afternoon. There is no indication.
however, of mental collapse on the
part Of the defendant up to the pres
ent time. Her mind is clear. but the
ordeal has proven too much for her
physical endurance.

LENTEN SEASON

tial period will put aside worldly
anusements and give themselves over

Lent is most rigidly observed in the
Catholic and Episcopal churches. some
OF the other denominations observe
the season less rigidly, whfie Others
give special attention only to holy
week, the last week of the penitential
season.
Rt. Rev. James o'Reilly, bishop of
Duluth, has issued the annual episco.
pal letter setting forth the lenten
regulations as applied In the Catholic
church. In the Catholic churches of

STORMNG IN
CENTRAL west

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Ths central
states were visited by snow storm
today and the mercury fell rapidly.
There is forty two mile gale here
from the north today.
The snow belt reaches south to st.
Louis, west to central Iowa, north a
short distance into Wisconsin and east
into Ohio. Not more than an inch Of
snow fell in any section, but 1t is
coming down steadily.
Railway traffic has been affected in
some sections. The delay in big ship
ments caused the market to go up 10
cents at the opening today.
Bismarck, N. D.. and Valentine, Neb.
are the two coIdest points in the
United States. the mercury being four
below zero at both places.
The weather is somewhat colder in
Fargo and over North Dakota today.
There is nothing in the nature of a
storm, however, and once again the
state seems to be enjoying fine wealth
er while people Of neighboring states
are floundering in snowdrifts and fac
ing biting gales.

The executive committee of the come
mercial club held meeting this noon
at the lunch hour at the club to dis
cuss the clubs budget proposition and
other important matters which have
been held over until after Secretary
Stine's return from St Paul. The Sec
retary reported today that all the mer-
chants and business men in the city
were responding generously to the
budget call and he felt that the full
amount would be raised in a very short
time.
A letter from the North Dakota State
Federation of Commercial clubs con-
cerning the new William B. Mckinley
appropriation bills for demonstration
farms in North Dakota, was also read
and referred to w. S. Lowman, mem
Der of the executive committee from

The Mckinley bill provides for appro-
priations by the federal government
for demonstration farms in the agri-
cultural states of the union, which
group includes North Dakota.

urged by well educated men inspired
with christian ideals.
The peace congress at the Hauge,
consisting OF envoys representing 80
per cent Of the worlds population and
practically all its wealth and culture
was graphically described. The speak
er showed plainly the superiority OF
snch a tribunal over war In settling
international disputes. 1t was clearly
brought out that war, instead OF es-
tabiishing justice, simply proved that
one side was more powerful than the
other and thus failed to accomplish its
purpose.

reason in court OF justice should be
used instead Of bloody slaughter On a

pie for self government. the recall of

in an address today before the Ohio
Constitutional convention here Coll
onel Roosevelt chose as his subject, A
Charter of Democracy.
OF what he termed "big business"
Colonel Roosevelt had this to say:
THE antitrust law does good inso-
far as it can be invoked against COM
binations which really are monopolies
or which restrict production or which
artificially raise prices. But insofar
as its workings are uncertain or as it
threatens corporations which have not
been guilty of anti-social conduct it
does harm. There should be fixed
governmental policy which shall clear
ly define and punish wrong-doing and
give in advance full information to any
man as to just what he can and just
what he cannot legally and properly
do
AS to the fitness of the American
