viii tell you something of our
visit so far. We arrived here at
3 O'Clock Sunday and met with
warm welcome from my dear son
and daughter. Rested until 1880
in the evening, then one of the neigh
bors came and took us to church in
his auto. After listening to a splcn-
did sermon by my son was given
a hearty welcome by every church
member in the house. This church
is the fourth building in size in the
state of Kansas, it has large pipe
organ and splendid piano. The
membership is 700. This city is
beautiful, the streets are paved, there
arc 1900 inhabitants. 1t is also
a historical city, as the old fort is
still standing. also some OF the old
government buildings. VIII visit
them in few days. and tell you

New Game Law.

Copies Of the new game laws en-
acted by the last legislature show
that several changes have been made
in the privileges accorded hunters.
For one thing the law prohibiting
hunting with gun or dogs or both, on
the land of another person, without
the owners consent, is made more
clear than in the past, with the bene-
fit of the doubt for the land owner.
The quail season has been shortened
a month at the first end. Where one
could formerly hunt quail from Nov
ember to December 81, he can
now hunt only between December 1St
and December 3lSt. Ducks may be
killed from January to April 80,
and from September Is to December
81. Snipe may be killed during the
same p, Rad. A new limit has been
placed upon the number of birds XII
led by hunters and bags of other years
will not be possible any more. The
limit now is two t"rkeys and ten of
any other game birds In day, and
also that no man can have in his pos
session at one time more than four
turkeys or fifteen other birds. The
old law allowed one to kill up to %.
with total up to so.

n,the sensational. He dropped a line
drive from Jackson's bat in the last
inning, but did not lose his nerve,
making a deliberate recovery and
perfect throw for the put out. The
little plays like this prove the ball
player.
Borton, Rath, Weaver and Lord
form an infield combination hard to
beat. The fielding yesterday was tip

had got one of the three hits OFF

to compare with it favorably. Schalk

Scott pitched a swell game. The
only time he was in danger was in
the seventh, when the Maps scored
their run. Chapman started with a
drive that tore through Mattick's
hands. The Cleveland shortstop
reached second, but failed to touch
first, and was called out when the
ball was tossed to Borton. Weaver's
error and Lajoie's double followed
this play. If Chapman had touched
that base the story might have been
different. Three hits were all the

all three of the wins scored by Evers'

the Cards their only run.
Revenge was taken on Greiner by
the Cubs. The youngster beat them
in the opening game, but yesterday
he was jolted for ten hits, including
a homer and double by Schultz,
triple and single by Zim, the same

Washington, June 27.-Despite the
efforts Of certain Republican and Pro-
gressive members of the lower house,
including Representative Kahn of
California, to force a congressional in
vestigation of Attorney General Nc
Reynolds action in postponing the
trial of the Diggs-Caminetti white
slave cases, it is said on good authori-
ty that no such investigation will be
ordered.
i Attorney General McReynolds is
said to be greatly worried by the
roubl which he has caused the ad-
ministration. immigration Commits
sioner Caminetti is also in an I'M
pleasant predicament as it was
through his request that the cases
were postponed. 1t is generally
agreed that the president took the
wise course in ordering the cases
prosecuted at once by special counsel.
Camlnetti is a respected citizen
who has a long record Of efficient
public service in California. He has
been greatly embarrassed by the es-
capade of his son, who deserted a
wife and children and with a man
named Diggs eloped to Reno with
Lola Norris and Martha Warrington,
two high school girls. They were in
dicted under the Mann white slave
act.
Representative Mann Of Illinois,
author of the white slave act, has
issued a statement in which he says:
Mr.. Caminetti, the father, has
recently been appointed commission
er general Of immigration because Of
his prominence in Democratic politics
and not for any known efficiency. Mr..
Caminetti, the son., is under indict-
ment for violation Of the Mann act.
The only way the son can be acquitted
is by tampering with the case. The
