NOW FOR BASE BALL.

We are informed that at last the
local base ball enthusiasts are going
to get together" some night next
week-probably Thursday-for the
purpose of talking over the situation
and electing a manager. We are
indeed glad to hear the news and
think that if the boys do get going
with the right spirit and little
push that they will succeed.
The writer realizes that it will
take some money to get started and
believes that if the proper party or
parties start out they can secure
enough on subscription paper
in about two hours to give the boys
a fine start; in fact there are a
whole lot of local base ball support
ers who would rather help it along
in this way than by purchasing tick
cts for a dance or local talent play
and have so stated themselves to the
writer.
There is no reason why we can't
have as good a team as usual if not
a little better. To start with, We
have Sandercock behind the bat,
than whom no better amateur
catcher can be found in this section.
In the pitchers box we still have
the old reliable Bennie Hessling,
who informed us the other day that
he never felt more like playing base
ball than this year, and contrary to
some peoples opinions he is not so
very old and still has several years
of first-class base ball in his power
right arm. At first Ross will be OBJ
tainable after June 10, which is only
two weeks after the season opens.
The question of a suitable second
baseman is perhaps the hardest to
fill, but j. Polt has shown himself
to be a capable infielder, is fast and
has a good arm and could probably
fill the bill. At short stop another
new man would have to be found,
but we are informed that Tarkett of
last years Aldenville team (the
best man on their team is to be in
town this summer, and we know
him to be good infielder. At third
of course we have our friend Man
gan, who played the bag so well last
year. In the outfield we are also
well fixed in Weaver, Schilling and
Jacobs, three good men, and no
doubt a couple good substitutes can
be developed. To return to pitchers,
there is youngster named Breiden-
stein who is reported to be very good
and another man named Heinickle,
although We do not know much
about this last man. Couldn't Greg
or, our sensational left handler OF
two seasons ago, and who done such
good work for Aldenville last sea
son, be persuaded to come here this
summer? 1t wouldn't do any harm
to try to get him.

ACCUSES FRANKLIN MURPHY
Varnish Man Charges Former
Governor with Conspiracy.

Charges OF fraud are made In a suit
filed against Franklin Murphy, former
Governor OF New Jersey in the Supreme
Court yesterday by Harry B. Chalmers,
who is suing for $1,000. Mr. Murphy is
president OF the Murphy Varnish Com
pany and Chalmers is also yarnish
manufacturer.
Chalmers says he owned 2,230 shares or
the 2.72I shares OF the stock OF the Chal-
mcrs Chemical Company, OF which he was
president The shares, he says. had a
market value Of 50 each The PLAINTIFF
alleges that the former Governor entered
into "A conspiracy 10 get his stock at a low
price To carry out this plan, says Mr..
Chalmers, the Murphy Varnish Company
sent its statesmen 10 the trade to make
statements concerning the Chalmers COM
pany and its standing that injured the
latter.
Chalmers continues I'm his complaint
that Mr. Murphy and others who figured
Tin the alleged conspiracy enticed Gordon
Stewart and James A. Mcars. ir.. who
were treasurer and sales manager, re-
spectively, of the plaintiffs company,
from the obligation and duty they owed
Chalmers, and got them to aid In the con-
spiracy. Chalmers says Stewart and
Aears told him that rich Pittsburgh
man had offered to furnish them with
capital to go into the varnsh business
They then induced the plaintiff 10 sell to
them all the stock he owned for $1,000
Chalmers alleges that his two associates
In business, I'm reality. were acting for
Mr.. Murphy and the Murphy Varnish
Company, and that after they got posses
sion of the Chalmers stock they turned It
over to the Murphy company.
Chalmers seeks to recover the value or
his stock at $50 a share and also the
value OF other stock which he says he
was induced to sell as a result of the al
legged conspiracy.

WIVES THE MORE FAITHFUL
Chicago Judge Finds Husbands
Far Less Steadfast.

Chicago, Oct pa card index kept
by Judge william y. Gcmmill, Of the
Court Of Domestic Relations, has been
tabuated by the judge. 1t shows that
men are far less reliable than women In
the married state, and that disease and
mother-in law are equal in responsibility
for wrecked marriages, causing one-half
OF them.
Following is Judge Gemmill's tsbulauon
of the causes OF broken marriages:
Young and hasty marriages, 10 per cent.
Hidden diseases, - per cent
Interference OF mOtherin-law, - per
cent.
Interference Of children in second mar
rage, 10 per cent
Cugovernable temper per cent
Whiskey and drugs, - per cent
Miscellaneous, per cent.
1T is surprising fact said Judge
Gemmi. but the statistics of this court
show that an incredible number OF men
have little conjunction in abandoning
their families to chance. Almost no Hom-
en- desert their families under pressure of
want. They are far superior 10 men as
stickers. BY young and haSty marriages
mean the large number that occur be-
tween persons under twenty years of age.
These are likely to break up in less than
two years"
