NOT GUILTY IN HAWKINS CASE.
Decision Read in Court Wednesday,.
Defendants Embrace Jury.

Hendersonville, juno 12.-The
verdict of not guilty as to the seven
defendants tried for the killing of
Myrtle Hawkins, whose body was
found in Lake Osceola on September
10, 1910, was greeted this morning
stration by crowded court room
when the prisoners and some of their
friends shouted with JOY and leaped
to the twelve farmer jurors, whom
they kissed and embraced in the
moment Of extreme tenseness.
The defendants, Dan w. Mccall
and daughter, Mrs. Beatrice Mccall,
and her husband, Abner Mccall, Geo.
Bradley and Boney Bradley, and
Mesdames Lizzie Shaft and Nora
Britt, were found not guilty under
the four counts in the bill Of indict-
ment, thus leaving the oft-repeated
question, "Who killed Myrtle Haw-
kins?" unanswered, and the whole
mystery intensified.
The jury took the case yesterday
afternoon at 7.20 o'clock. They
Immediately retired from the court
room for supper and retired early at
night. Shortly after 8 o'clock this
morning 1t was announced that the
jury had reached a verdict, but in
the absence Of Judge Foushee and
the solicitor the verdict was not
taken until after 4 o'clock. The
court bell was rung to announce that
the jury was ready to return the
anXiously awaited verdict Of one Of
the most interesting trials Of the
time. The court room was packed
and jammed with women and men
that they might hear the decision,
which was reached with but little de-
liberation. The decision was in ac-
cordance with the majority Of pre-
dictions in this case.

IMPROVED TELEPHONE.

A simple way of making telephone
conversations more audible has been
invented by Herr Petersen, bank
manager of Nykjobing, Denmark.
On the principle that sound is more
readily transmitted through rarefed
air he has constructed an apparatus
to warm the trasmitter, whereby the
air in it becomes thinner and the
sound is intensified. Professor Han
mover, of the Danish government
telephone testing station, who has
made extensive experiments with Pc
terson's apparatus, says in his report
that the increase of sound obtained
is remarkable. Telephone converse
tions between Copenhagen and Nyk-
jobing, a distance of some rs miles,
could be clearly followed some dis
lance away from the instrument.
The inventor has applied for patents
in different countries.

ATMOSPHERE OF THE HOME
one Place Where the Best and Sweet
est Side Of Character SHOULD
BE Shown.

Family life should be one Of the
utmost Difference and respect. It is
peculiar phase Of human nature
that we are oftener more considerate
Of strangers than we are Of thos'-
who in the very nature of things are
nearest and dearest to us.
Why should we fret and find faul'
until we make home life intolerable
Why should we carry crouch into
our homes every time we leave 'Gbusi-
ness?" Why should we demand
services Of those in the home circle
which we only request in the most
respectful manner from those out
side of it?
Why should a man say to his
wife, "May, / want my slippers.
Bring them to me-" and use a tone
of command when he knows he
wouldn't address the veriest lackey
in a similar manner? Why should
May use an irritating, commanding
tone toward John when she wants
any little service done and why dc
both order the children around as
if they we're a lot Of unfeeling, I'M
thinking little minions who knew nc
better than to accept the treatment
without protest?
OF all places on earth the home is
the place where the best and sweet
est side Of character should Be
shown. 1t is there that the softest
tones and kindest actions should
prevail. 1t is there that unfailing
and uniform courtesy should be the
rule and where every member should
use his or her utmost effort to keep
the family life untainted by the irri-
tating experiences Of the life outside
of it.

It is questionable if Bill and

Bv MONTY.

NEW YORK Aug. 17,-Frank
Y Chance is brave and bold. The
other day the Peerless Lead
er told us that his Chicago Cubs
would beat out the Giants for tho
National league pennant, beyond
the shadow Of doubt, anda also
that he was equally certain the
Washington Senators would over
haul the Boston Red Sox for the
American league banner, likewise
that the Cubs would lick the Sena-
tors. We are glad he made the re-
mark. not that we share his GER
tainty In the matter, but because
it gave us an idea.
A second worlds series between
the runners-up in the two leagues
that is the idea.
In event that the present order
in the two leagues remains un-
changed at the end of the season
and the Giants and Red Sox come
to grips for the banner of suprem-
acY, wouldn't it make a good little
sideshow If the Chance selections
Senators and Cubs-Could meet
in a series of like nature? And
wouldn't it be a good stunt to es-
tablsh the runner-up series for
every year, under conduct of the
National Commission? And there
are those who would carry the idea
even farther and have the clubs all
along the line meet clear down to
the tail-enders, who would be
scrapping for the cellar champion

championship might draw big
crowds, because of the fact that the

Tigers and Cubs Last Year.
But the main slice of this inspi-
ration is that concerning the run
ners-up series. In the past some
good battles would have been pro-
vided by such an event. Last year
II would have brought together the
Detroit Tigers and the Cubs and
the year before, when the Cubs
won the National title, it would
have been the Giants versus the
Tigers. In 1909 1t would have been

he VIII find a place also-but not
on the Atlanta team.
T appears that Smith will have to
develop an entirely new out
field next spring. Bailey will be
recalled. Callahan has been I'M
able to hit this year. Unless he
gets going next year he will be let
out early in the season. Lyons
hasn't shown even a faint fash Of
Glass A hitting ability and will
doubtless go unless he can spring
something impressive in the way
OF base hits next spring.
UST as rough guess. Bill Smith
Will have one more catcher,
five to eight new pitchers. three to
five recruit infielders and four To
seven new outfielders report next
spring He will need to try ont
that number If he is going TO plug
the holes in the present Cracker
club.
WHERE will Smith get his play
ers? Take this as a tip: He
VIII get a batch Of them from the
Washington club. Clark GrtAitb
manager of the Senators. is one of
Bill Smiths closest friends in base
ball.
Even before Smith was secured
as manager, Clark Griffith decided
ne wanted to train next spring in
Atlanta. The deal hasn't been
closed yet. but it probably will be.
II 1t is, Griffith will surely leave
one man here for ground rent"
and probably more.
OF course, the new waiver rules
make IT peculiarly difficult to waive
a man out of the big leagues and TO
get them to the Southern, but
Washington will doubtless have
some men who will be good enough
for Atlanta and yet poor enough to
be waived this far
Smith will certainly draft A lot
Of men. He has always had a lot
Of good information about desir-
able talent and he can always be
counted on to pick up a few good
performers from the bush.
ONE thing about Smith-he will
never again fall into the error
of getting a team Of old timers. He
tangled up with one his first year
In Chattanooga and that satisfied
him. He will always have a few
old heads for the purpose of steady
ing and teaching the youngsters.

Series Between Major League
Runners-Up Sure Listens Good
By "Bud'' Fisher

There are several possible obiec-
lions that might be raised to such
a suggestion, chief among them
the fact that the runners-up series
might detraCt from interest in the
worlds series proper. But this we
do not believe would be the case.
Because Of its affording opportuni-
~ for additional comparisons,
which always are the delight of
the fans, the new series should en-
nance interest in the old and es-
tablished one for the big crown.
Everybody who could go to the
worlds series otherwise would go
anyway, in spite of the runners up
series.
one more apparent objection to
the founding of such series as a
regular thing might be that in some
years a city possessing one pen
nant winner might have the run
hers-up in the rival league. and
accordingly the games might con-
flict This objection could he
wiped out merely by arranging the
schedules of the two series in the
same way as the annual league
schedules are framed. While one
team is playing in the city. let
the other be playing away from il.
Keep them alternating in that par
tlcular town and there would be no
conflict.
Commission Gould Run Series,
Another possible objection is that
the National Commission could not
handle two series and attend both
properly. 1t could. Prominent men
Of baseball could be employed di-
rectly by the commission to SUI
pervise the series. and they could
work directly under it's authority.
There are plenty Of competent ones.
and the thing could go through
just as we'll as under the present
regime of only one series.
From the standpoints OF both
fans and the powers that be the
project should be a good one. The
moguIs would harvest more money.
and the fans would be provided
with something of additional inter-
est to them. Since the fans are in
dtspuIably the ones who keen the
game alive by spending their dol
lars during the season, their side
Of it is entitled to consideration bv
the commission. If the commits
sion could be shown that the fans
want such a series. they ought to
arrange one, and probably would
