ket Ball

Although Laconia brought one Of
the strongest teams seen here since
the days of professional basket ball
the F. G. A. five showed that they
were there when they pinned 3S
to 20 defeat on the New Hampshire
lads last Friday night. Lacroix and
Demers had an excellent range on
the baskets and despite the best eff
forts of the visitors these two vet
Grams scored six each. The game
was one of the most exciting ever
played on the F. c.. A. floor and
kept the crowd on edge throughout.
Co. F. of Mortified will try to do
what the others have failed to ac-
complish when they appear here
Friday evening. The game will be
worth watching and the wise ones
will be on hand for the opening
whistle. Score of the Laconia game:

 -NegroeS Fled.

Remy. La, Apr. 25.-An all-night fight to save the Mississippi river main line levee Ri this point, B miles north of New Orleans, was partly successful. bl. the danger has not yet passei.
 Two thousand men labCred throughout the night in a drench- ing rain, toiling by oi. illumination.
 The old levee cayed in but the new levee behind 1t was high enough to hold the water back and thus saved many hundreds of acres of land from becoming inundated.
 Hundreds of negro laborers at one time fled shrieking from the work and refused to return. COuriers on horseback were sent galloping throughout the district warning the people the levee would surely break.
 When daylight broke this morn ing the ranks Of the toilers were materially increased by additional squads of laboreTs. who went at the task of fighting the raging waters with grim determination but it is too soon yet to predict the ultimate outcome.

Helena, April 25-The Bank of Helena, with a capitalization of S250,O00. and one of the oldest finan- cial institutions in the state, closed its doors this morning.

NEW LIGHT ON
 THE PARDON LAW
Governor Futrell Discovers Over looked Statutes Dealing With ParoleS-All Applications
 Must Be Listed.

Little Rock, April 27.-The dis covery of law, hitherto over looked on the statute books of Ar kansas, yesterday fortified Acting Governor J. NJ. Futrell against pc titioners for pardOns for eonyiets in the state penitentiary. Since Mir. Futreu became the chief executive six weeks ago he has been deluged with applications for pardOns, but has granted only one. HencefOrth It will be even more difficult to Ob- tain pardon from the acting gov ernOF.
 Every application for pardon should contain the reasons for which 1t is sought, said Governor Futrell.
 The discovery of this law on the statute books should be published, and notice of such application should be given in the locality where the offense was committed, to the end that the parties who may desire to do so may have an opportunity to resist the same. Therefore, hereafter a substantial compliance with sections 2567 and 256S be required. It will be news to practically every lawyer in the state."

USING AUTOS
ALL THE YEAR

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 24--It was
only a few short years ago that the
motor car, still fighting strenuous
battle for consideration by the pub
lie, was considered absolutely as
summer proposition and every owner
prepared to store his car in the win
ter time.
Now practically everyone uses a
car all the year around and the closed
car has been gaining in popularity
every winter The growing demand
for a closed car is evidenced by a re-
port Of the Ford Motor Company,
which says that the demands from
their agents for closed cars is greater
this fall than ever before.
The use Of the closed car was un-
doubtedly helped along by the taxicab,
People seeing how the taxi operated
all winter came to the conclusion that
the scould use their own cars as
well.
! The Ford company, by the way. has
always been a strong factor in the
ttaxicab field. The first Ford taxicab
I in New York was driven Dy Max FL
Ter. He saw how the profits of the
taxi business, largely given over to
foreign cars, was being eaten up in
maintenance charges and he bought a
light Ford with a Candaulet body As
! soon as it got noised around among
other drivers how much Max was
making because of the small sum
necessary to maintain the Ford. many
other Independent drivers hurried e
buy Ford cars. Now many big taxi
cab companies use Fords exclusively
