before he shot his brother.
Ine murder or the mother, they be-
lieve, was a part OF his plan to keep

SCOUTING NO EASY JOB

In his day, Joe Sugden. scout for

the famous catchers of the game and

timony chat he has stopped many a
curve that was signaled TO be an QUO
shoot and turned out to be something
else. and maybe something unclassi-

came when his muscles refused to
respond 10 the quickness of his
thought and in the vernacular of the
ball field he slowed up" Now he is
picking players for President Navin
OF Detroit, and he talks eloquently
and feelingly Of the troubles OF a
scout.
"Of course, We have to loow for
good ball players and our friends are
always tipping us off TO where one
may be found. and managers who
have players they think are corners
are not backward in singing their
praises. But the scout is spending
the managers money. This scouting
business is an illogical job, anyway.
We so out to find pitcher who can
top the hardest hitters in the big
league and at the same time look for
hitters that can drive any pitcher to
the clubhouse. A great crowd OF
young ball players are bought every
year by the clubs in the big show
and the great majority OF them are
dead ones. The Corners come so far
and no farther.
Il get a message to hurry quick
and go half way across the country to
see a new pitcher. May be he struck

Vermont Bankers Want Proposed
Measure Modified.

Rutland, Aug. PA gathering of
the representatives OF about twenty
National Banks OF this state was
held al the Berwick oIIuse, Wednes-
day afternoon for the purpose of dis
GUESSING the proposed currency bill
now before congress. At this meet
ing the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted.
Resolved: That while recogniz-
ing the patriotism and ability which
characterize the currency measure
now under consideration by congress
We desire to record cur conviction
that the enactment of the bill in its
present form would entail financial
loss upon many country banks and
might possibly involve the surrender
CT national charters by many OF the
institutions in this state, and that we
earnestly suggest that each bank
should advise our senators and con
gressmen of our convictions and ear
nestly invoke their efforts TO obtain
notifications which we believe will
he necessary to secure the eontinui-
ty and efficiency Of the national
banks of this state.
Resolved That in our belief the
recommendation of the recent Chica-
go meeting of representative banking
Interests Of the country furnish a
reasonable ground work for the modi-
ilcations OF the pending currency bill;
and that copies OF this and the other
resolutions adopted this day be sent

LIND WAITING FOR
AN INVITATION
FROM HUERTA
Unless He Gets 1t He Will

Any Further Negotiations to Settle
Mexico Must Originate in
Washington.
NEXT MOVE BY WILSON

Mexico City, Aug. 29,-The failure
of John Lind, personal representative
of President Wilson, to return TO the
capital from Vera Cruz is taken here
to indicate that Washington and Mex
leo are agreed on one thing at least,
namely, that there is no good to be
accomplished by the trip,
Mr.. Lind is still in Vera Cruz
awaiting Instructions The Mexican
government has made no further pro-
posal on concession to the United
States. 1t is considered here that
the next move must be made by
Washington.
Oficials here today viewed the sit
uation more brightly because of the
iiotation of a 12,000,0 600 peso loan
which was taken by three local
banks, the National, the Bank of
London, and Mexico and the Banco
De Ccmmercio by Industrial.
The exodus of Americans from the
capital on account of President Will
sons warning to them to leave the
country was greater today than on
Thursday, but not so great as had
been anticipated, since many Ameri-
cans took the attitude that there was
no reason for them to get out unless
Intervention was a certainty
Many persons appeared inclined to
doubt the Judgment OF the admins
traticn for its statement that the
fighting would become sharper as a
result of cutting off of the supplies
from America. These persons seem
ed to believe that the difficulty on
both sides in obtaining ammunition
would result in less active operations
and therefore reduce the danger to
Americans.
Many Americans today sent pri-
vate kilograms to friends in Washing
ton in an effort to get more specific
information concerning President
Wilson's warning. A number of largt
corporations employing Americans in
various outlying points in the repub-
lie are perpleXed as to what instruc-
tons they shall deliver to their men,
since the carrying out of President
Wilson's instructions would mean a
complete cessation of their opera
tons.
