OAKS LOSE TO
IMPERIALS IN
GREAT BATTLE

Pitted against several of the best
from up-county way, the Oaks found
their visitors too strong last night
and fell by the wayside, 81 to 20.
However, as the score indicates, the
battle was close and the fray was
nip and tuck every moment Of the
tussle. The crowd that witnessed
the affair saw one of the best exhi-
bitions yet staged on the North Am
boy court.
In the Imperials lineup were such
heralded tossers as Charlie Crabiel,
Jimmie Armstrong, Poppy Phair, all
South River senior regulars.
The tally at the end Of the first
period was 16 to 16 and not until
the very last moment was the battle
decided. The strong point of the
visitors seemed to be their ability to
shoot when given a free chance and
also the work OF the guards, who
outpointed their own forwards in
the matter of scoring and also held
their opposing forwards to an even
score. Cathcart and Dey were the
defense of the visitors and each
dropped the sphere through the net
three times.
Michael J. Schiker showed class at
foul shooting, making five counters
in that way. He also score four field
goals against Poppy Phair, who tall
lied three.
Here are the lineups:

VOTE BUYERS MAY ESCAPE.

tIon I'm Lee County, Va.

AccHhhcaAAtg NAg DcAcat FFosecu-
tIOB I'm Lee County, Va.
From the NASHVILLE Tennsseean.
In Lee County, Va, where more
than a thousand persons have been
shown to have sold their votes. # is
now feared that both the vote buyers
and the vote sellers will escape
through a legal technicaIity.
Under promise of immunity the vote
buyers went before the grand jury and
indicted a large numbers OF vote sell
lers they had paid to vote a certain
way. This arrangement was made
with the criminal Judge of that county,
INIT II now seems that the buyers OF
Votes cannot testify without incrim-
mating themselves beyond the power
OF the court TO grant immunity
promised. and as there Is but one wit
ness against each vote seller. the
prosecution will fail
The bribery statute OF Virginia
makes the buyer and the seller equally
guilty. subject to fine and disfranchise-
ment for life, but in this case those
buyers who were witnesses before the
grand jury cannot now be indicted. It
seems now. therefore, that nothing will
come OF the wholesale election frauds
in Lee County except the disgrace in
cident to exposure. which will rest on
a large number Of hitherto respectable
people.
No practice is more degrading or
more disgraceful thaA that of a man
selling his vote. and whenever a voter
is caught doing this he should be dis
franchised for life, In order that he
may carry the brand of infamy as a
warning to other people.
1t is to be hoped that the State of
Virginia will so amend Its laws beaF-
ing on election frauds as to make II
easy to convict those who may engage
in the nefarious practice. The vote
buyer Is the one who should be looked
after and so restrained and terrorized
by the stringency of the law and the
severity of the penalty that he will
not dare to become the base dispenser
OF election Doodle. II there were no
election buyers there would be no vote
sellers. II there were no corrupt men
to buy their way into ONCE there
would be no vote buying.
Let the rascal who corrupts the poor
devil with the ballot be made TO feel
the lash OF the law.

COLLEGE FRATERNITIEs.

From the Hartford Post
Within the past five years or so there

organizations and great have been tie
efforts TO oust them as a part OF school
and college life. 1t has. however, re-
mained for the colleges and particularly
the women's colleges TO do the oustinE.

their aid to their disbanding.
The deteriorating effect Of the school
secret society has been twofold; IT has
operated against the college or school,
and II has worked against the student

sufficiently popular TO be selected for
membership in some one OF them.
The demand now is for the letting
down Of the artificial barriers 50 that
natural friendships may be formed and
progress as they should. This accom-

/. In the way Of personal equipoise and
freedom from all symptoms Of political
excitement. Gov. Harmon's speech at the

ample. He made the sort Of address that

year from a patriotic citizen and the
chief magistrate Of one of the greatest
States OF the Union. Not one word OF
politics. This. In our opinion, constitutes

Effects of Injection.

thought OF trying the more direct and
immediate application OF seawater by

The French medical expert on this par
