Say Wilson Neglected Duty.

Gov. Wilson is under fire from the re-
publicans of the New Jersey legislature
President Prince of the senate gave out
a statement embodying severe criticism
of the governor by the republican sena-
tors and assemblymen in conference.
It is alleged that in passing upon the
legislation recently submitted to him the
governor has not performed the duty de-
fined by the constitution to direct atten-
ton to objections to proposed legisla-
ton. Many of the measures were i'm
portant, all were entitled to careful
study. Given ten days in which to do the
work the duty was met by crowding the
work of ten day into two, approving
ninety odd measures and vetoing thirty
eight, and then hurrying from the state

Madison, Wis, Aug. 16-Disapprova1 in Y Fging sdegpeel Ipf aTaft. sRoosspelt and Wilson is expressed by Senator LaFollette in todays issue of his magazine. In part, he says:
 Restraint and under statement characterize and in a degree weaken Governor Wilson's presentation of the issues. There is, however no annbi- guilty. He frankly announces-and doubtless it required courage-that he believes in tariff for revenue
 "Roosevelt's confession of faith is neither the saneathing ~IaoFa the other it is just Roosevelt He is forcible. definite and positive on matters about which there can be no dispute.

 'Taft's acceptance speech is a df- rect. appeal to the conservatives and the President. does not recognize that the peoples movement for legislation will aid in making the government more responsive to the will of the ma jority.''

SPECTATORS CRY WITH DARROW IN
 FEARFUL EFFORT

Los Angeles Aug. f6-The fate of Clarence s. Darrow will rest with the jury by nightfa1l.
 John D. Frederick. district attorney, when court convened, today resumed the final argument for the state which will close the case Then it only re- mains for Judge Hutton to deliver his charge to the jury.
 After the dramatic effort of Dar- row, which held the jury and specta- tors under high tension for hours, Captain Fredericks found some diff culty in catching the attention of the crowd in the courtroom when he open ed the states final plea. He referred to- Darrow's argument as lone of the most marvellous addresses or orations ever delivered in a courtroom.
 The district attorney, in his whole address, kept away from oratorical flights. confining his remarks to a careful. methodical analysis of the evil dence produced by the state.
 Darrow, today had recovered his composure. which he seemed to have lost during the peroration of his re- markable address when fhe broke down and wept as he described the difficult ties he had to face in settling the Nc Namara ease and saving the lives of his clients.
 Most of the spectators and jurors cried openly with the lawyer dant.

The Ball and th. Bird.

Tn the American Magazine Hugh S. Fullerton. writing an article on freak plafs in baseball, tells about a team once managed in Chicago by Jimmy Callahan4 This team was called the Logan Squares The Logan Squares played game with a famous colored team called the Leland Giants. Fuller ton goes on: ''In this game, which was to decide the city pennant champion ship, freak play occurred that helped the Leland Giants to win. A batted ball that was going safe over the head of.the second baseman struck an Eng fish sparrow. killed the bird and fell dirartly in front of the baseman, who threw the runner out and saved the game. If you doubt this Callahan will show you the bird, which he had mounted to keep as a souvenir of what hard luck may do to a ball club. '

POLICE BOARD WANTS TO
 EXHAUST EVERY CHANNEL IN LOWE INVESTIGATION
Death is Wish of the Com missionePS

Further investigation of the death of Motorcycle Policeman Frank A. Lowe was ordered at the meeting of the board of police commissioners yes terday. The members of the board are 10th to believe that Lowe was recklessly speeding without reason, though the investigation up to this point indicates there was no excuse for his riding as he did when he met his death. The commissioners will not close the case until they feel that every channel of information as to the circumstances Of the mans death has been exhausted.
 A hearing has been ordered for Sat- urday, Aug 31, of the charges of inn proper conduct brought by Samuel Aurillo against Special Policeman Mi chael Luciano. Aurillo claims Lu- ciano arrested him without cause, and allowed him to be subjected to attack while he was in Luciano's custody. The charges against Patrolrnan Bolger and Special Policeman Lesko, pre- ferred by Harry Rosenthal, were dis missed on the strength of an investi- gation by Supt. Birmingham.

more frantic steers jumping into the
sea from n steamer was witnessed at

er day. by several yachting parties.
The cattle had been loaded at the
island and the steamer was clearing
the buoys for the mainland when a
heavy land swell was encountered In
an instant the cargo of steers was in
a panic. Breaking their headstalls, a
dozen or more rushed to the open
deck and leaped into the ocean. The
crew OF the steamer managed to con-
troll the rest Of the cattle. and as soon
as the huge land swells ceased all be-
came quiet. Boats were lowered and
after a delay OF more than an hour
all of the steers that made the leap
were headed ashore and safely locked
in the cattle pens.

uJASHINGTON.-Danger of the total
W extinction OF the whale through
everlasting" Is dealt with in the thir-
teenth annual report on fisheries. Is
sued by the board OF agriculture and
fisheries.
IL IL unquestionable, says the report.
that in the case OF a slow-growing and
slow-reproducing animal like the
whale. although. owing to It's wide
range. IL will probably never be abso-
lutely exterminted, excessive hunting
speedily results In a very marked de-

The practical extinction OF the
Basque and Greenland whale fisheries
has abundantly proved this. 1t must

was brought about by means OF the
oper and hand harpoon-methods
which are now obsolete.

SHARKS ANNOY FISH.

Fishermen along the Cornish eng
land) coast have been alarmed recent
ly by the presence Of sharks. These
monsters are not unknown in western
waters but never have they run to
such sizes as those seen within the
past few days. Lord st. Leven. with
the sporting spirit characteristic Of
the family, for centuries, commission
ed his yacht the St Michael for the
purpose of hunting the unwelcome Wis.,
itors, and during number Of days
his lordship had most exciting times.
In spite OF fierce gales and drenching
rain. he and his crew secured Mounts
Bay from Lands End to the Lizard,
and with gun and harpoon attacked
the sharks. Many fell to gun and
spear, but the largest OF the school
escaped the hunters A harpoon was
thrown and actually struck the body
of the shark. but failed to penetrate
the hide.
