attractive scholastic bill scheduled for
Saturday afternoon ct American League
Park. \ double-header will he staged.
both games being in the regular high
school series. The first game will take
place between Technical and Western. and
the second will be played between East
nally scheduled for Tuesday and Friday
of this week, respectively. but it has beer
arranged To play Saturday.
The game between Western and Tech
nical will be of especial moment and will
attract mucn attention because of ; the
great rivalry that has sprung up between
the two mines in the past two years.
Twice Tech has won from Western in the
last and deciding game in the champion
ship series once with a much poorer
team and now that Western again seems
to have the stronger nine there will be
even greater interest in the contest.
The second game, between Central and
Eastern, should result in a victory for
Central if it's showing against Gallaudet
can be taken as a criterion. Eastern
while it deserves every credit for winning
the game from Business, is hardly strong
enough to play up to championship
standard.
Georgetown has mighty difficult prop
osition to face this week especially when
it is considered that it does not have an
effective pitching staff to depend upon.
Since Fienle showed in the Virginia game
that he is not in shape and Kelly did not
evidence the fact that his arm has en-
tirely recovered from its early lameness
it looks as though the Blue and Gray is
up against it for effective pitching ma
terial. Mccarthy, who is playing regu-
larly in the outfield, has really shown
more consistently rs a pitcher than any
ftma ha
started or been placed in a game he has
done well. and it was his sterling work
that figured largely in the showing made
against Harvard. If developed solely as

He has speed. a good curve. and a free,
easy delivery that is the beauty of the

WOMAN FINED FOR
 WEARING SLIT SKIRT
Richmond Judge Holds She Was
 Guilty of Indecsnt Exposure.

Richmond, Va, July 16.-Blossom Browning paid a $25 fine in Judge Crutchfield's court today for wearing a slit skirt, and declared she intend ed to go to New York at once "where people are not prudish." She was charged with indecent exposure.
 The skirt, slit knee high, and held by the police as evidence, was restor- ed to Miss Browning, on her promise to sew up the slash or not appear again in the streets of Richmond without a petticoat.
 Miss Browning's lawyer argued that the sale of the skirt by licensed de- partment store permitted her to wear it. Judge Crutchfield replied that a city license for the sale of firearms did not authorize murder.
 The justice, after an inspection of the offending skirt, blushingly fined the defendant who paid with the re- tort that ''Richmond was most il- liberal city" Judge Crutchfield's court was packed with the most select aud fence it had ever held.

Secretary Bryan Delivered Final An. swer of This Nation to the
 Japs.

Washington, July 16.-The reply of the United States on which this gov ernment stakes its chances for placat- ing Japan and her insulted honor. was handed today to the Japanese am bassador by Secretary of State Bryan
 Ambassador Chinda and Secretary Bryan would not venture to express an opinion as to the suffciency of the Bryan-Wilson argument to prevent further trouble. The American am- bassador, Chinda, said:
 Tt is my duty simply to send the reply to the home government and have no opinion of my own to express as to whether it will or will not end the negotiations.
 The main reliance, of the Wilson ad- ministration is it's a fgument of pacifi- cation is it's offer; to regard the question between Japanese citizens and the citizens of the states as ques- tions between the citizens of Japan and the federal government.

 "hlch IS soon to come to the United States.
 A Cabinet officer told the Interna- tlonal News Service in discussing the Mexlca: situation that the policy of the Wilson administration was this. that President Wilson did not know what would be the effect in Mexico if ne produced the slightest change in the status quo. He said that if Presi- uent Wilson the great revolutionary force ln the field in Mexico, would re- sent such action by the United States Ii. on the other hand, he withdrew the troops from Galveston and the shins rom the coast, the Huerta party would see in it an open favor to the reVolutlonlsts. In both cases, the president could not act one way or the other, because he had not a sufficient army and Mexico could not be settled by the Navy. This is the situation, it IS believed, as it exists tonight as ex- plalned by the cabinet officer.

CABINET MEMBER
 WAS DICTATED Mulhall Tells Lobby Com mittee That Manufactur-
 CTS Named One.
GO-BETWEEN
Also Were Assured That They Could Name Member of Campaign
 Committee.

Washington, July 16.-Theodore Roosevelt, breeding over his declara- ton against a third term, Arthur Vorys. Taft's campaign manager in l9oS, bargaining to exchange cabinet position for the support of the National Association of Manufacturers and se- cret organization which collects sever al hundred thousand dollars a year for unspecified purposes, were the three sensations sprung at today's sessions of the Senate Lobby Inyesti gation.
 Mulhall brought them out. The Roosevelt chapter was embodied in a letter Mulhall wrote under date of April 8, 1908, two months before the meeting of the Chicago convention. which gave Taft his first nomination. and it reports what is alleged to have been an interview between Roosevelt and James E Watson. of Indiana. The reader is to imagine Watson and Null hall walking up Pennsylvania avenue.
 "He told me-" writes Mulhall, "he was invited to the White House at $50 p. m. and was with the president until l1:30 p. m. The president wish ed him to call so they could talk over the legislative program, the president Knowing that he represented Speaker Cannon and other leaders of the House and Senate, He stated that the real reason for the call was that Speaker Cannon, Vice President Fair banks and several other leaders want ed to find out how the president stood in relation to third term.
 "He stated that there were four things the president wished. First, that Congress would stay in session until the fifteenth of May, to receive the governors of the different states coming to Washington on that day: second, to amend the Sherman law. Third, to have congress vote for four batleships. Fourth, to pass a child labor law for the District of Columbia. which would be a model law for the states in general"
 It was Ralph Cole, whom the N. A. M. was helping to re-elect to Con- gross from Ohio, that brought Mulhall and Arthur Vorys, Taft's campaign manager, together. Writing from Columbus, Ohio March 21, 1902 Null hall tells about it in letter to Fred B. Schwedtman, secretary to President Van Cleave, of the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers.
 Il went to Taft's headquarters with MT. Cole and had an interview with MT. Vorys," write Mulhall.
 Mulhall says he gave Taft's manager a full account of the work of the N. A. M. had been doing and continued: I told Mir. Vorys that there was two things our people wanted, one was that we wished representation on the next national campaign committee and the other was that our members clearly believed they were entitled to member in the next cabinet. MT. Vorys and MT. Cole fully agreed with me on those matters and he positively stated that MT. Van Cleave and your self could name any man you wanted placed on the next campaign commit tee, and, providing MT. Taft was nom- mated, he knew it would be an easy matter for our organization to name a member of the cabinet"
