IN THE THREE-EYE

Springfield, April 3.-Otto Vogel,
who played second base for the Rock
Island aggregation all of last season
and without doubt the premier inield-
er of the Three-Eye league, has an
nounced that the terms offered by the
local management are satisfactory and
that he will sign a contract. The pa
pers were mailed to Vogel today and
he will be ordered to put in his appear
ance April 10. In 104 games played
with the Islanders last year, he finish
ed the season with a fielding average
OF $40. He also played twelve games
at short and in the entire 116 contests
hit the ball at a .2S3 clip. That Vo-
gel will be used in the local infield is
certain and should Milton Reed, pur
chased from the st. Louis Cardinals,
make good at the second station, Vo-
gel could be shifted either to short or
third. The signed contract of Pitcher
Middleton, who played with the team
last year, was received by the local Off
GERS and he will put in his appearance
with the rest. of the players. Word
has been received from Joe Mcclure,
third baseman, that he will not sign
a Springfield contract this year. Pres
ident Al Tearney yesterday signed
Pat" Wright of 1O15 North First
street as umpire in the league during
the coming season. Wright was one
of the best ball players Springfield
ever produced and last season was an
arbitrator in the Eastern league.
Wright was manager of the Spring
field team at the time Joe McGinnity
was playing in this city and has also
played in a number of the best leagues
of the country. He made quite sue
cess as manager of the Little Rock
aggregation in the Southern league.

MEXICO CITY July 27.-San Juan
| de Ulua, at Vera Cruz, which for two
centuries and a half under Spanish
and Mexican rule has been a military
| prison, will soon have no more terrors
for the criminal, provided the Nation
al Assembly consents to the necessary
laws for it's abolition now under o n
sheraton. -
President Madero during an inspec-
ton of the prison while he was presi-
dent-elect promised the prisoners that
he would see that they were trans
ferred to some more habitable place,
but the move has met with difficulties.
The only federal prison available for
the transfer was the Castle OF Perote,
in the state of Vera Cruz, near the
divide on the gulf clope, which was
found to be too small and, until after
MANY alterations we're authorized
could not be used.
A plan to transfer the prisoners to
the Islands of the Three Marias, off
the Pacific coast, opposite San Bias,
Tepic was also met by the undesir-
ability of mIngIing the more harden
ed criminals with the minors both
men and women, for whom the island
colong is now reserved.
Quintana Roo, the other Mexican
penal colony has been condemned on
O of the unsanitary conditions
there, and is already full. If the nee
essary appropriation is voted, houses
of correction will be built in various
parts of the republic for the recep-
tion of those now sent to the Marlas,
which will allow the men and women
to be segregated. This will make pos
sible the transfer of the prisoners in
San Juan de Ulua.
The old fort of San Juan, the Moro
Castle of Mexico, has always held for
the political offender and the evi1-doer
all tue horror ever inspired by the
Bastile or the Tower of London. 1t is
built on an island in rthe bay at Vera
Cruz, about a mile from the shore, and
comparatively few of the thousands
who have entered it's gates have come
forth alive. Many of the cells are par
italy under water when the tide is
full, and the interior ones r verlt-
able dungeons without light or ventil-
alton. In these in Spanish times the
culprits were confined( the water
reaching to their waists.
Under Mexican rule these lower
cells are said to have been abandoned
as places of confinement; but con
demnation to a few months impris0n-
ment in the least unsanitary portions
of the grewsome fort, Overrun with
vermin and reeking in the filth of cen
turtles, meant a lingering death, and
many Of Mexico's political prisoners
have dropped from sight within its
walls.
The cornerstone Of the castle was
laid by the Spaniards in 1923. Its
foundations alone are said! to have
cost more than S4,O00,0OO gold, and
the aggregate sum spent on the castle
by the Spaniards over $40, 100000 gold.
The fact that the castle is still in use
is evidence of the efficiency with
which the work OF construction was
done. Escape from the place is Inn
possible not only on account OF the
guard which lis maintained, but be
cause Of the sharks which infest the
waters Of the harbor.

Archaelogists are flocking to see

the ancient capital of the kings Of
Ethiopia, now on view at Burlington
House. The arduous work of the ex
petitions dispatched during the last
three seasons by the University OF
Liverpool under Professor Garstang
has resulted in almost undreamt OF
discoveries. The great Sun temple
described by Herodotu0, with the
huge altar. the so-called liable of
the Sum-" has been discoveed, and in
one Of the palaces a magnificent head
of Augustus was found. This year
the most important discovery consist
ed of the royal baths, a w~ell-planned
block of large buildings. These show
that in the third century B. C. the
influence Of Egypt on Ethiopia had
begun to wane, as the royal baths are
a close copy of Graeco.Roman baths.
The greater part of the exhibit at
Burlington House comes from the
baths.
