High school baseball teams bid fair
to get off to a poor start this season.
At the Central High School the boys
have done practically little in the way
of throwing a baseball around, while
the same conditions exist at Barrlnger
and East Side High. The three schools
lave games arranged to be played the
first week in April. Unless the cold
weather man takes q "brodie' so that
the teams can get in a little practise,
the opening games will, in all proba-
bility, be one-sided affairs. Z
Work is being pushed on the public
school athletic field which is situated
on Bloomfield avenu and First street.
The Central and Barringer high school
teams expect to play their home games
on the field. The field is expected to
be finished within three weeks.
The Fairview Club, of Bloomfield, is
on the diamond again. The Bloom
field aggregation, which was known
as a junior team last season, will play
semi-pro bali hereafter. John Stringer
will manage the team. Some of Bloom
fields Oldest Inhabitants oft relate the
plays and fights these youngsters had
when they were known as the mine
and e year old aggregation. From
mere youngsters they have been play
ing ball together and should make a
good record. Stringer can be reached
by addressing So Walnut street, Bloom
field.
East Orange High School is practis-
ing daily in the gymnasium. Coach

Agler played a great fielding game
for the Cub youngsters in their first
mix with New Orleans, making fifteen
putouts and one assist. He failed to
hit, but so did his teammates,
they were BANKED, 10. This from a
Chicago scribe:
"AgIer is coming in for some correc-
tive measures. The p. L. doesn't like
the manner in which the first baseman
swings, and a lighter bat will be one
of the first recommendations. Agler
was easily the star from the fielding
standpoint. He made two corking
catches, both times grabbing quick and
wild throws made by Lew Smith, the
Indian shortstop."

Havana, June 5-American marines have landed on Cuban soil. To the number of 450 under command of Col onel Lucas they came ashore today at Caimanera and proceeded by train to Guantanamo City. While it is officially declared that this action was taken solely to protect American and other foreign properties the impression be- came general that 1t was a preliminary step to American intervention. This caused considerable excitement at the capital.
 More Marines Despatched.
 Later it became known that the landing was in response to an urgent appeal to the commandant of the United States naval station by the chamber of commerce of Guantanamo to afford protection to the numerous foreign estates in the vciinity which the government forces have been lun- able effectively to guard.
 One hundred and twenty additional marines were despatched this eve- ming to Guantanamo and the Ameri- can force will probably be ample tc safeguard the foreign properties in that district.
 Great Excitement at Havana.
 There was great excitement in Ha- vana this evening on the circulation of report that four American bat tleships were on their way from Key West. Towards evening the rumol was current that the ships had been slgnaled off Morro castle and were ex- rected to enter the harbor within ar hour The excitement subsided on receipt of the news that the wRrships had been ordered to Guantanamo.

BOTH COUNSEL FINED
 FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
District Attorneys Remark to Dsrrow
 PreciPitates Clash.

Los Angeles, Cal. June 5.--Clashes between counsel which resulted in fines for contempt of court and indications of federal cooperation with the state in the ease overshadowed the scant testimony heard today in the trial of Clarence s. Darrow for alleged Jury bribing
 The name of Olaf A. Tyeitmoe, the San Francisco labor leader, was also brought into the case, though the connection of Tveitmoc was only that of an indorser Of a S1O90O check sent by Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor to Darrow.
 The check, which was cashed in San Franciaco, was said by the prosecution to be one Of the most important links in it's case against Darrow, as it tended to prove that the currency received from this check was used as fund for the corruption of McNsmara jurors.
 District Attorney Fredericks and H. H. Appel, associate counsel for the defense, indulged in an acrimonious controversy and were fined $25 and s5, respectively, by Judge Hutton. A re- mark to DArTow by the district attor- ney, who later designated it as q pleasantly" precipitated the clash.
 The apparent interest of the federal government in the case was indicated by the introduction of evidence said to have been turned over to the dis trict attorney by the department of justice. This included the book of cancelled checks originally drawn up- on the McNamara defense fund by Frank Morrison in favor of Clarence Darrow.

LOrimer In An
 AmiabIe Mood
SHAKES WITH SENATOR WHO
 ATTACKS HIM.
SPEECH IS UNFINISHED
Senator Kern Expects to Conclude His Arraisnment of Lerimer Today Says It is a Painful Duty

Washington, June 5.-Senator Kern ot Indiana concluded today the second instaiment of his speech in opposition to Senator Lorimer, and gave notice that he would endeaEor to conclude before the adjournment tomorrow. The senator analysed the evidence taken during the senate's second tnvestiga- tion, contending that much evidence that was new and important had been developed. Senator Lorimer expressed the opinion that the debate on his case would continue several weeks. Several times he interrupted Senator Kern S speech and gave close attention to the arraignment of himself by MT. Kern.
 Occasionally during the day Mir. LOT inner talked and jolked with Mir. Kern.
 A Painful Duty.
 Senator Kern declared that his duty of questioning MT. Lorimer's right to his seat was particularly painful, be- cause Lorimer was a fellow senator from an adjacent state with pleasing personality, pure private and ideal home life, a genial and kindly man. He said he was convinced of the absolute truth of the testimony of Clarence s. Funk, general manager of the Inter national Harvester company, who had
  election and had not the slightest per sonal feeling against Senator Lorimer.
 The Illinois Jackpot.
 Discussing the existence of jackpot in the Illinois legislature previous to 1909, MT. Kern spoke of ex-Speaker Miller of the Illinois legislature. who he said, had died after exposing the presence of that fund. The reference brought Senator Lorimer to his feet with a question.
 Lorimer Asked Question.
 Does the senator know" the ac- cused senator asked, of the speaker that Governor Dineen and the news paper combination that is prosecuting this case drove Miller to his death by their persecution"
 MT. Kern said he did not know 1t but that if true the fact would acoen- tuate his accusation that conditions at Springfield were of @ character tC shock the conscience of the country.
 Shakes Hands with Kern.
 MT. Lorimer left his seat on the re. publican side and crossing the atslt to Senator Kern, shook hands with hin across Senator Chamberlain,s desk.
 T sSppose,"- said Senator Chamber lain, that you think each of us whC is going to vote against you is devi Of a fellowT
 'Not at all.' returned Senator Tor inner with smile '1 don't think s' at all"
 For five minutes the three member chatted gaily.
