OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
}: BASEBALL

In the opinion OF Marty OsToole. the
Pirates twirler. bowling is beneficial
in keeping the man In the box in III
condition. He, says he has found that
a shoulder muscle such MS bowling
helps along is very useful IN delivery
Of the ball. Marty has gone In for
bowling. himself. Incidentally he gath
cred in the individual championship in
the fraternal tournament In his native
town Of South birmingham, Mass,
last winter.
When the season was Young the tip
went out. Match Walter Johnson. Y
Walter is tle pitcher for the Wash
ingtons az the American league. Well.
he's been doing his best.
When Irwin NJ Howe official statisti-
clan of the American league. makes
public his figures next autumn he will
rank the fielders on new basis. which
is intended to show more accurately
their worth. Heretofore 1t has been
customary to base the efficiency of an
inilesder upon the percentages of
chances he accepted. Howe believes a
better way is TO ascertain the fielder's
average chances accepted per game.
That will demonstrate better how much
ground he covers. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the man who covers little
ground runs few chances of making
ssrrcrs. for he goes after only the easy
halls. The fellow who hustleS and
runs all over the field is much more
likely to gum up grounders.
Manager Johnny King Of the Bos-
ton Braves believes in a base running
game. Men who never take chance
never get anywhere.' says the former
Cub backstop. This doesn't mean that
Il man should run wild every time he

him use his brains.

THE THIRTEEN STRIPES
As long US the states remained thir-
I@teen in number the original design of
the circle of stars was all right, but
|. when in 1871 Vermont and in 1892
| Kentucky were taken into the Onion it
was decided to arrange the stars in
the form of one huge constellation.
In 1895 it was decided TO add a
stripe as well as star for each state
which came into the Onion. conse-
quentiy in that year Vermont and Ken
lucky were marked on the flag, one by
a white and the other by red stripe.
Some prophet looking ahead. saw
that this plan Of adding stripe as
well MS star for each state added to
tile Union would cause a constant
changing Of the fng. and as great
growth OF the country was foreseen.
1t was soon appreciated that the flag

FLAG DAY OBSERVED
BY THE ELKS LODGE

With the impressive ritual of the
Elks lodge Moscow today observed
the anniversary of the birth of the Am
erican Flag in special exercises held
at the Elk's temple at 2 o'clock, and
attended, not only by the G. A. R., the
W. R. c. and the Sons of Veterans, but
by the patriotic citizens of the town
The attendance was large and the
Elk's auditorium was well filled when
the observance was inaugurated by
the playing of the Star Spangled Ban
ner" by the orchestra.
There followed the Introductory ex-
ercises of the Elk's ritual, beautiful
and impressive in their manifestation
of patriotic spirit and love for the
Flag that sympolizes the nation which
gave the order birth. The prayer was
delivered by Rev. Jonathan Watson,
rector of ST. Marks and chaplain of
the lodge. Following the song, Col
umbia, the Gem of the Ocean," George
W. Suppiger, delivered a history of
the flag in a most appropriate man

THIRST=CRAZED REBELS
JUMP INTO THE WELL

Then followed a scene such as was,
perhaps, never enacted before, as
thirst-crazed rebels fought with each
other for the privilege of jumping in
to the gaping shaft, utterly disregard
ing the orders of their officers.
"In five minutes the we'll was filled
with struggling men, all of whom sue
cumbed before their comrades could
reach them to drag them out.
"Delirium seized their remaining
members of the army and the dis
heartened soldiers fled across the
desert sands, only to find death un-
der the burning sun. Of HOO men in
the second division only a few more
than 400 resumed their sorrowful
march.
"A few days later scouting parties,
acting under orders of General Aubert,
found the desert dotted with the bodies
of the rebels.

known in Mexican history as the

Death

PARIS, June 14.-A strange story
about the dangers of strawberries
when in large quantities comes from
Brittany. Recently there have been
several demands by local tradespeople
and tourists to be granted passage to
Plymouth on the little steamers which
carry the supply of early strawberries
across the channel from Plougastel,
but in every case the request was re-
fused. As the refusal was Ill received
in some cases, the ship owners have
given their explanation.
The fumes given out by such large
quantities of Strawberries, they say,
are quite as overpowering and danger
GUS as those of any strong alcoholic
liquor. The crew have to keep on
deck for the greater part OF the voy-
age, and no passenger could be car
ried except at risk to health.

John NJ Haines, republican candi-
date for governor of Idaho, was born
in Jasper county, Iowa, 49 years ago.
His boyhood days were spent upon
the farm He was educated at Penn
college, Oskaloosa, Iowa, and when
young man moved to Friend, Neb.,
where he was connected with the
Merchants and Farmers Bank for
about two years. From there he went
to Richfield, Kan, and engaged in the
real estate business. In 1890, after a
period of business depression in that
state, occasioned by a long continued
drought, he formed partnership with
w. E. Pierce and L. H. Cox for the
purpose of engaging in the real estate
business in Boise. They were sue
cessful from the first, and for % years
this firm has been identified not only
with Boise's growth but with the
growth of the entire state. They have

tising Idaho's resources and in ac-

which led to Escalon, headed directly
for the wilderness.
''In their fight they abandoned their

vanguard found itself in the center

dropping like flies when the lie lders

hours later the second division of reb
els, following the tracks of the first,
staggered to the well.

CHICAGO, June 14.-Several hun
dred chickens, penned up in crates for
sun baths yesterday morning, were
suddenly dazed with a shower of
kerosene oil thrown by the angry
hands of Jewish women who are wag-
ing a war against the high-price
marks, and especially those displayed
on Kosher meat and chickens.
The drench fowls by vigorous cack-
ling awakened their several sleeping
proprietors, who vainly gave chase to
the women.
The coal oil was administered first
to the three crates of chickens owned
by Isidor Rosenthal, and soon chickens
in front of three other stores were
also smothered in kerosene oil.
This is the latest weapon to be en-
ployed by the women in their war
against the Kosher butchers.
Chickens can't be eaten after they
have been soaked in that stuff" said
one of the victims today. It's simply
one of the tricks to drive us out of
business"

Judge Hutton had overruled the OBJ

Clarence Darrow, who is charged with
Jury bribing, Clerk George Monroe of

Assistant District Attorney Ford said
this testimony was introduced to for
stall any attempt the defense might
make to argue that it was improbable
that Darrow would have bribed the
jurors in case already closed.

because he stands as a representative

Roosevelt said that those states
which were the rank and file of the

he represents include those which had
cast about two-thirds of the electoral
vote cast at the last presidential cleo
tion for republican candidate.
In those states, Colonel Roosevelt

These Delegates said Roosevelt,
