vented the unfortunate sufferers from
famine from making their escape.
Admiral Southerland had several IN
terviews with the rebel chieftain after
the surrender and deportation of Cen
eral Mena, the principal figure in the
revolution, but he found that zeledon
was not only determined to refuse any
offer OF amnesty held out by President
Diaz, but was determined to retain the
position he occupied! threatening the
railroad.
The admiral was finally obliged to
deliver an ultimatum, warning Zele-
don that after "a hours notice the
American naval force would undertake
to drive him from Barranca hills. This
time limit expired at o'clock yester-
day morning and as the official cable
gram received by Minister Catrillo to-
day indicates, the American marines
did exactly as they mad undertaken to
do even at the cost of few lives.
Both the state and naval officers are
anxious to have it appear that what
has been done by the American naval
force was in response to formal re-
quest from the titular government Of
Nicaragua. Though keenly appreci-
ative Of the sentiments inspiring me
Nicaraguan government in its offer to
bury the dead marines in state in the
city Of Granada, it is believed that the
! bodies Of the men will be brought
home to the United States and buried
according to the wishes OF their sur
viving relatives.
The regiment OF marines was on
both sides OF the Barranca hill in com
mand OF Colonel Jonn H. Pendleton.
] The First and Second battalions were
between Managua and Masaya and
nearer Masaya The Third battalion
was between Masaya and Granada ana
also nearer Masaya. So it is impos-
sible to Judge in which battalion the
fatalities occurred, as all were close
to the fighting
The First battalion was under COM
mand of Major William N. McKelby
and was composed of Companies A,
B, c and D. drawn from New YORK,
Norfolk, Boston, Portsmouth, Annapo-
Ills, Charleston and washington.
The Second battalion, under COM
mand Of Major George G. Reed, was
composed Of Companies L, f and G,
drawn from Philadelphia. The Thira
battalion, under command OF Major
smedley D. Butler, was drawn from
Panama.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Four American
marines were killed and six were
wounded yesterday when the Ameri
can forces took the town OF Coyotepe
from the Nicaraguan rebels, according
to cablegram received early today
by Minister CatrilIe from Chamorro,
minister Of foreign affairs in Mica
ragua.
Early today neither the state de-
partment nor the navy department
had received any word Of me fight at
Masaya and Coyotepe or the death
of the American marines. Officials
were shocked at the news contained in
Minister Catrille's cablegram.
The cablegram to Minister Catrille,
dated Managua, October 4, was as
follows:
"Masaya taken today by assault. We
had 100 dead, 200 wounded. Ameri-
cans early took Coyotepe with four
deed and six wounded. Correa stimuli
taneousIy took Barranca. Seeledon
fled with followers and was captured
eight leagues from Massaya, wounded
and died later. Today l visited the
American legation to express deepest
sympathy for marines death. era

SeeIedon, spoken Of in the cable
gram, is a rebel general, a Hondurar
in the employ Of Mena, the fallen die
tator, recently captured and taker
to Panama for exile.
Though the lives of American ma
rines have been lost and others have
been wounded in what appears to have
been one of the most sanguinary bat
ties fought in Central America ir
many years, yet technically the United
States is not engaged in war AS de

ers' union No man can say
what the ultimate and complete
outcome of the Cobb rucus will be.
But the thing that IS as certain as

There is q baseball trust. 1t has
been fairly run in the main. and
the players have received a rea-
sonably fair deal. AS the years roll
on. though, the players--if unpro-
tected-would slowly but surely get
little the worst of 1t each year
until the baseball trust had them
all where it wanted them. There is
one way for the players to avoid
this. and this is by the organization
of strong union. 1t can easily be
done, and 1t will be done.
once unionized, the ball players
could get anything they wanted
that was within reason. For a
strike of all players in organized
ball would bring the magnates to
time on the run.
A baseball union will grow out of
the Cobb incident, sure as fate.
OF course, the popular way of
- treating this Cobb matter is to
laud the Georgia lad for his act Of
jumping on a Spectator and to
make a great hero out of him.
Sober consideration of the mat
ter demonstrates that Cobb had re-
dress under the laws Of baseball
and those of the state of New York
for the insults of the man he at
tackled. And. heaven knows, as civ
ilization advances we are getting
further and further away from the
good old fist and gun method of
settling disa agreements.
On the other hand the provoca-
ton was great and Cobb has never
been one to hold himself in hand
when the circumstances provoked
him to anger.
What does loom big, though, is
that the baseball players are enti-
tied to better protection from the
gibes and abuses of fans than they
get. All states are doubtless pro-
vided with laws to punish those
who use foul and abusive language.
The arrest and prosecution of few
fans who overstep the bounds
would do worlds of good

GAME IS LOST

MONTGOMERY, ALA. May 20
That il doesn't pay pitcher to get hits
was brilliantly demonstrated here yes
terday afternoon. kellogg, Montgom
ery's cratic twirler, managed to get
hits both times up. Once he got all the
way around Another time he got to
the third station. Both times he had to
run his blooming legs off. The result
was that he was chased to a point Of
exhaustion and he weakened As soon
as he did the Cracker club got to him
and he was on the run, full tilt, when
Manager Dobbs extracted him from his
dilemma and sent in the reliable Joey
Bills to finish it out. Joey held the
Crackers safe and as the local players
found Paige easy they rang up vic
tory. 9 to 4.
The BiIlikens piled up enough runs in
the first and second innings to win the
game. After that they Just breezed
along and watched the heroic but en-
tirely futile efforts OF the Crackers to

The hitting of the Billikens was
amazing. Eleven hits were made out OF
80 times at bat, and among them were
one two base hit one three base hit
and a home run. Paige also put home
run to his credit Piggy" O'Brien,

Union of Ball Players VIII Result From Cobb Row
Baseball Trust Takes Hot Fight on Its Hands

Baseball has become great in
America because it is decent
sport Do you suppose it will stay
great if the patrons are to expect
now and then that a player will
climb over into the stands and
whale a spectator? Or that spec
tators will be allowed to use foul
language? If such things are to be,
ladies' will desert the game. And
when their support is withdrawn
baseball begins its decline.
The solution of the trouble is for
the owners of baseball teams to af
ford the players protection from
abusive spectators. This can be
easily done. Such protection will
go double-it will protect fans and
players alike from foul and pro-
fame language. 1t will remove from
the players any excuse for attacks
on patrons.
The first time baseball sinks TO
the plane of prize fighting, wres
thing and the like, its decline begins
1t behooves not only baseball mag
mates. who have their money tied
up, but players as well, who have
their livelihood involved, to see that
the game is kept decent. Once ii
becomes a pastime too coarse to he
worthy the patronage Of ladies its
decline begins.
COLLEGE boys used to have
- pleasant little ways with each
other a few years ago. A bunch
from one college would go to an
other college to witness a game.
They went always prepared for a
fight and usually they got it. At
the very best the supporters Of the
opposing teams would hurl billings
gate and assorted vituperation at
each other Usually they took the
thing in earnest, though, and hurled
bricks. rocks, bottles and such.
Free fights were regular occur
renee. This isn't an eXaggeration.
1t hardly puts the situation strong
enough.
Gradually there has been change
in sentiment and desire has
sprung up TO treat visitors from
other colleges as guests This
change was well shown in the re-
cent Tech Georgia series. Through
the great work of the athletic au-
thorities and the alumni of both
colleges. with occasionally some
help from the newspapers, the best
kind Of feeling has been developed.
This was particularly apparent
when the big delegation of Tech
men went to Athens Saturday.
They were most royalty entertained
and most courteously treated.
When. after the third straight
defeat of the Jackets. the Tech
hand and the Georgia band

are just little teasing. respectable jags.
But if a man goes on a jag that lasts
for week and in the meantime gets bad
and dtsorderly, he is fit subject for the
water treatment. The farm gets him.
In order that there might be no mistak-
ing what constitutes an inebriate and
just who should be sent to the jag farm,
the Legislature included the following
clause in the act:
The inability of any person to control
his appetite for intoxicating liquor shall
be a ground for the appointment of
guardians for his person. and such
guardians may be the superintendent of
the hospital farm for inebriates and the
State board of control"
This clause gives the courts author
ity to deliver a drunkard into the keep
ing of the farm.
Saloons Pay the Costs.
On the theory that saloons cause the
downfall of men and women, the State
has provided that the saloons shall con-
tribute to the support of the lag farm, :"
Two per cent of the license tax collected
from each shall be set aside as income.
The farm will be opened next month with
capacity of fifty persons, although ar
rangements have been made to enlarge
1t so it will care for 800 or 1000 IL needed.
Already applications have been made by
courts for places for men and women.
which, il granted, would more than fill
the hospital. As persons taken in will
not be discharged until declared cured,
the authorities are going slow in accept
ing applicants. 1t is expected that be-
fore the institution has been going many
months the number in it will be increase
TO 100
However, there will be many pleasing
feature at the jag farm. 1t will not be
all treatment" Outside of the fact that
there are 4s7 acres of land on the farm,
all under cultivation, and the inmates will
have to help care for these broad fields,
there is little to displease. The buildings
on the farm are thoroughly modern. En-
tering one of the wards you find the
lounging rooms, perhaps the finest in the
building. There are window seats, fire.
places, comfortable rocking chairs and
reading tables. On the same floor is the
hydra-theraputic bathroom. The hospital
is a model in every respect and even the
isolation room Is bright and cheerful, al
though provided with iron window guards
and a door three and one-half inches
thick. The living rooms provided for the
patients, as well as for the officers and
nurses, are furnished with taste and care.

charge as superintendent, formerly was

I believe Il will succeed and be adopted
by other large cities in different parts of
the country"
Should municipalities own and oper-
ate their public utiIities?'
Yes. IL our cities are to be governed
by honest. competent and independent
men; never. if. as at present, they are
to be goverened by politicians. We had
municipal gas works in Philadelphia
for many years Men got rich and, dy-
ing, left large fortunes to their families.
Tainted fortunes, l term them. There
was graft to the amount Of 81 a ton on
all the coal sold to the city. Finally.
matters having grown so scandalous.
many active men, John Wanamaker and
myself among them, urged that the city
go out of the gas business. The plant
was leased to the United Gas Improve
ment Company for a period of thirty
years. The lessee was required to spend
SIS, ,0nO. 0oO for extensions and improve
ments and TO pay the city a part Of its
revenues.
Gas is now sold to the consumers for
81 a thousand cubic feet. Twenty per
cent of the money goes into the treasury
of the city. Our receipts from that source
alone will amount to 81, 500 900 this year.
When the public finances are on the basis
toward which l am working. I shall be
in favor OF giving the consumer his gas
at 50 cents and thus letting him get the
benefits of the lease. In 1921 the gas
works revert to the city without cost.

The annual exhibition of the Manhat-

Street, New York City. was held the
other afternoon and charmed the hun
dreds of people who attended it. One
girl in the novelty department had made
a remarkable array Or cloth-covered
boxes. Another had excelled in the max
ing of shirt waist and handkerchief
boxes. In three months the girls ad-
vanced from plain sewing to plain and
advanced millinery. Some of the hats
would command the respect OF a profess
sional milliner as to taste and cost. The
dresses on exhibition were made by the
girls in the last month and served as a
final examination. Each pupil designed
her own pattern, selected her own ma
terial and turned out a finished article.
There are 375 pupils in the school, and
200 on the waiting list. The trade school
is one of the most important depart
ments of our popular school system. Il
Is strange that it should have taken this
length of time to discover the fact. The
question of self-support is all impor-
tant as an economic, moral. and even
religious question. The manual training
feature cannot be introduced too soon
into all the schools Of the land In IL
