$500 FRAUD SCHEME

Detectives High and Good nipped a
plan 10 defraud the Grand Trunk rail-
roaG out of about $500 worth or
groceries. liquors and cigars, when
they arrested Daniel Sherd, a blond
Negro. while he was trying TO cash
$40 check for SIS Saturday after
noon
Search Of Shsr6 in the station
brought to light receipt for supplies
billed to F. j. Tockerson, a dining
car conductor, and purchased at G.

The detectives say that Sherd ad-
mitted that he had ordered the
goods. which he intended to sell for
his own profit, but did not obtain
them He says he once worked on
the Grand Trunk dining cars.
The fact that he did not get the
goods will probably save him from a
warrant charging false pretenses.
He will be held for further investi-
cation, however.

THE BASEBALL FAN.
~ GEORGE FITCH,
Aathor Of at Good ola siwash."

About this time OF the year the base
ball fan comes out or his winter over
coat, takes his voice out OF his automo-
bile. where he has been using II as an
alarm signal and begins 70 converse
about baseball from behind third base.
When this happens We know that sum
mer. Is coming. even those OF Us who
are almost totally deaf
The baseball fan consists OF two men
occupying the same suit Of clothes. In
the morning the fan is anything from
a minister 70 a quiet respectable mil
lionslre. with his mind eluttered up with
bond issues. You cannot tell a baseball
fan from a rational being az breakfast
unless his wife allows him 70 read the
morning paper at the table. But IN the
afternoon the fan elects the other occu-
pant from his clothes and takes them
out to the baseball park where he az
hxes them firmly TO the soft side Of a
pitch pine plank in the bleaehers. and
convulses. erupts, detonates, steam
sirens and explodes until the simoons
and tornadoes Of sound make business
difficult a quarter OF a mile away. Cas-
uai visitors to this land from England
ana other rest cures look with alarm at
the sight OF a bank president tearing
on his collar. dancing on his hat and
pleading for a small bite out OF the
umpire, and these visitors return home
with grave doubts as to the stability Of
our government. But the custom OF
segregating our periodical lunaties at
baseball games has made this country
safe and sane for at least twenty-five
hours q day. II England could get its
sunragettes interested in baseball, she
would escape one Of her worst troubles.

Democratic Harmony.

Gov. Judson Harmon, of Ohio, IS one
of the strongest leaders Of the conserva-
tive element in the Democratic party, and
his vigorous words regarding the soli-
darity of that organizations ample proof
that it will go into the coming Presi-
dental fight without any disafected fac
tons. The clash of candidates at Balti-
more will leave some sore spots, bun
they will be healed quickly IN the roseate
prospect of November victory.
In his Omaha address Gov. Harmon
says: There are no present vital ma
tional questions on which all Democrats
do not substantially agree, and we shall
not attract the confidence of the country
by letting such differences as there may
be about other matters mar the party
harmony without which an election can
not be won or an administration sue
cessfully conducted"
Surely it is a broad and sound faith
in Democracy which led the Governor
to add, ''The wishes and ambitions of
individuals have not feathers weight
compared with the interests of the party
and its bright prospects" If this means
anything, it means that the Harmon
Bryan feud has aroused not the small
est resentment in the Ohioan 1t means
that the embittered factionalism which
has been characteristic of the party ever
since the second Cleveland administra-
ton will be swept aside this year, if
Gov. Harmon and the particular ele-
menr-of the Democracy which he repre-
sents. have their say about it.
The Governors plea for harmony
might be traced to self-interest if his
chances of the Presidential nomination
were brighter. But there is compare
lively little Harmon talk now among
Democrats. Champ Clark, Gov. Wilson,
and Representative Underwood are, so
far as surface appearances go, in the
lead. Gov. Harmon's striking address
must, therefore, be attributed to his
clear and strong interest in the welfare
of his party.
