ORGANIZED BASEBALL.

The business men Of the city are to
be commended for the enthusiasm
and determination with which they
have taken hold of the plan to give
Grand Forks organized baseball this
wear. The Times believes they Will
meet a esporse from The public, both
in the way of financial support and
PATRONAGE at the games that will jus
tify the confidence and reward the
investment of those who are pushing
the enterprise. In other words. We
believe that the club in this city will
be Il paying Investment. especially
next year when the league will most
certainly include some of tho largest
cities OF the northwest.
Baseball is a business proposition
which is destined to provide clean
amusement for the public at a g a
sonabie price. Club owners IN the
larger leagues look after the enter
prise just as they give attention to
other business enterprises. Th"E get
dividends on their investment by Civ
ing the public a class Of ball that
meets the public demand. II may le
a luxury, but it is in the same class
as the hundred and one other bust
nesses that cater to the luxury de-
mands of the people.
Grand Forks. in the last -four
years has become a city of note and
Importance. Its enterprise and pro-
eressiveness in those years are known
throughout the country. The city
stands for all tina is up to date. Its
progressive business men are enter
prising and ready TO put their money
into anything that will add to the
municipal prosperity of the city. oc-
%castonally a ~croalker n knocker gets
in his work. but he is held in about
the same esteem by the city for en-
terprise that Ismay is for heroism
and bravery in the world. They are
considered in the same class as the
man who would push a wonla out
If a lifeboat and take her place him
s"!f. But there are none such on the
baseball question. Practically every
on" is ready TO help.
1t is not necessary to discuss The
question of Sunday games. Mime

Know what the lea schedule Will

bail.
organized baseball will do more to
advertise Grand Forks than anything
we a i~naugurate. The Associated
Press now carries the report of the
minor leagues and Grand Forks. once
the team is at work. will be looked
for in the baseball reports with the
same enthusiasm that fans search the
columns for their favorite teams
work in other cities. The gentlemen
who are pushing the enterprise and
everyone who is helping in any way,
are doing a public service to the city
and adding to its already progressive
reputation. They ought to receive
the glad hand n open purse every
where.

A long part of the water front of
Eavre are clustered scores of squalid
and ~ramshackle buildings whose in
mates fatten off sailors. Lodging
houses. saloons. eating places. dance
halls and dives shoulder each other
along the narrow streets.
Among these denizens of the docks
was Marie Paliot. "A woman from
Marseilles. buXom, dark, about So,
who lived alone in a two-story house
registered as No. s Passage DIES Math-
urins. Marie Pallot took in an oc-
casional ledger and was suspected by
the police of carrying on an Illicit
trade in foreign tobacco and spirits.
She was thought by her neighbors to
have saved a considerable sum of
money.
She had fitted her house with bolts
and locks on all windows and doors,
was never out after darkness, ana
when she was away during the day
the place was always guarded by an
old soldier named Pierre Vadol. Va
dol never stayed after nightfall. These
circumstan noes lent color to the ru-
nors of her wealth.
Still another habit of Marie Pallot
was. when alone at night, to drink
many little glasses of brandy.
On the night of October 10. 1909,
a gendarme passing No. 8 Passage
des Mathurins tried the front door.
To his surprise it swung open under
his hand. He entered. Going bacl
into the middle room his electric
torch showed him the figure Of Ma
RE Pallot, head and arms resting on
the table.
The gendarme touched her head
and drew away his hand covered with
blood. By the light of the torch he
saw that Marie Pallot was dead. The
back of her head had been crushed
in. h had been dead perhaps an
hour.
Prof. Reiss was Immediately called.
The lock Of the front door had beer
forced. 1t VAS at once established
that the murderer had not been ex-
pected by Marie Pallot. but had brok-
en- into her house. The scratches on
the door were infinitely measured.
Footprint evidence was lacking, but

cut his hand while getting in. There

"Once let crime go undetected or not

Just then the gendarmes brought
INTO the house a prisoner. He was
a Sicilian; he had a small red nous

His name is Foforazzo, and he
was a passenger in the Donna Maria"
said the gendarme.
Prof. Reiss handed Foforazzo a
piece of paper. The man stretched
out his left hand to take it.
In the palm of that hand was a
deep, fresh cut! In his pocket wae
the stump of a Sicilian candle which
accurately fitted in the mark on the
floor where the candle had been plac.

wick at the end had protruded slight

mark on the floor, making the iden-
