Mondays game played with Char
ter Oak was an easy one for the local
team and at the close the score stood
13 to / in Denison's favor. The local
fans had looked forward to this game
with much interest as the news had
reached the county capital that Char
ter Oak would have plenty in store for
Denison and we might look for some
surprises, but nothing materialized
along this line and the game was one
of Denison's easiest victories.
The locals swatted the ball time af-
ter time for safe hits and scores were
chalked UP at will. They were play
ing ball all the time and held the Wis
itOrs down to one score, which was
made in the seventh inning. Pitcher
Kulberg was in fine form Monday af
ternoon and was given fine support
by the entire team.
A number of fine plays were pulled
off by the local team, which drew
hearty applause from the bleachers,
and there was fine crowd of local
fans on hand to help cheer the boys to
victory.

Tuesday-Big Game Friday

The Denison ball team inaugurated
the chautauqua series OF games by
winning the first game on last Satur-
day afternoon, when they defeated the
Wall Lake team by a score of S to a..
The game was not fast one and
the Denison boys found no difficulty
in mastering the curves of the visiting
pitcher and clouted the ball for safe
hits almost at will.
Denison allowed the visitors to score
four runs in the first inning, but after
that they were unable to get score.
Our boys played good ball after the
first inning and Pitcher Kulberg was
in fine form throughout the game.
The locals made the first tally in
the secon DINING and in the third
were able to tie the score of the visit
ors. In the other five innings few
scores we're chalked up to Denison's
favor and the game was practically
given to them.
A good crowd was in attendance at
the game and everyone was pleased
with the fine exhibition of ball. 1t
was a good clean game with no dis

Virginian Personel
Wins High Praise
Eau Claire Press Speaks In Highest
Terms Of Decentralization of Pop
ular Novel
PRESENTED HERE SOON
Company Has Reserved Armory for
Evening of October II

Under the auspices of the National
Guard the Jones and Crane Company
of Chicago will present "The Virgin
ian" at the Armory Friday evening,
October II. This same cast recently
played this production at Eau Claire.
Wis, and the press Of that city pub
lished the following review Of the
drama and its producers.
"The dramatization of Owen Wis
ter's remarkable novel, "The Vir-.
gilman" was well produced by cap
able cast before a good-sized audi
ence at the opera house last evening.
To suggest the sympathetic in
sight, the literary freshness and I'M
affected eloquence that has been
given its characters is a task that
few authors attain. The story is a
pretty one, and far above the ordi-
nary plot of such offerings in the ma
ture Of logic and coherency Of theme,
It has none of the blood and thunder
features Of many Of the so-called
dramas of the plains, yet teens with
intense dramatic moments. The love
interest is particularly strong and has
to do with interesting and vital char
acters in clean, wholesome way.
In Guy Caufman is an actor well
adapted to the role Of The Virginian.
He carries the part with all the west
ern big-heartedness and quiet charm
intended by the author. He ID ably
supported by Miss Constance Cauf-
man in the character of Molly Wood,
the pretty Vermont school ma'am,
who comes to the rugged west and
falls in love with the young cowboy.
Miss Caufman has charm and per-
sonality Ill hst own snd raptivates the
audience at once.
A difficult role is that Of L. E. Rob-
ertson as Trampas, the villianous Mex
lean, who pulls of some clever acting
in his efforts to get the best Of the
virginian, but comes to grief in the
last act.
Harry Bernard as Uncle Hewie was
perfectly natural in his role Of good
hearted old man, and certain couple
of young ladies in the audience were
so captivated with his acting that they
sought his autograph at the close Of
the performance.
Other good characters are portrayed
in Guy Bartholomew as Steve, who
proves himself a friend in need; Miss
Gertrude Mills, as Mrs. Hewie; c. B.
Mills, as Spanish Ed, and Joe Alex
ander as Judge Henry.
The entire play throbs sweetly with
humanity, with quiet charm and great
dramatic moments; it unravels a story
with great dexterity, at the same time
making the characters pure and sin
cere in their primary motives real
test Of subtle stage character drawing.
1t posses the rare charm Of pleasing
all classes, and therein lies it's remark
able success. The cast that presented
it last evening has been selected with
unusual care and is particularly happy
in its Interpretation Of the different
characters. The mounting is complete
and Of rich and elaborate nature.
The company carries complete all
its own scenery, which is artistic, and
equips the stage for four acts"

Behold, a knocker in the town,
While others boost he knocks

He knocketh long, he knocketh

None other treats his town SO

Oh, measly attitude he stands
His little hammer in his hands;
Oh, matchless nerve he doth

To treat his own home town

Kick out your enemy and mine;
Kick out the knocker, stop his

And bid the booster enter in.

A FRANCHISE TAX.
Bill to Make Corporations Make Up
 the States Deficit

Hartford, Conn, May 6.-Former State Senator Donald T. Warner of Salisbury offered to the finance com mittee today a bill which would i'm pose a franchise tax of one eighth of one per cent. on the capital stock of all corporations doing business in the state, except those which now pay a direct tax.
 MT Warner. in pleading for his bill, said that Connecticut is facing big for the last two years. He said, in right to tax or license corporations as cities and boroughs do to license pea nut vendors.
 A number of persons appeared in support of the proposed bill, among them being Judge John J. Walsh of Norwalk, Representative Wilson of Bridgeport, E. H. Healey of Wood stock, former head of the Connecticut grange, and Professor Charles Barnes of Wafiingford.
 Persons representing the corpora tions pleaded delay, saying they want ed to read and consider the measure. Representative Rice of West Hartford spoke against the bill, as well as Sev- era1 attorneys for corporations. Sen ator Wood of the finance committee said the matter would have to be act- ed upon soon as the time was already too short. He gave the parties until next Friday to file briefs. Speakers for the bill estimated that the income of the proposed tax would be about S900,000 yearly.

house. precipitated lively rules fight by offering a brand new amendment to create tariff commission.
 Parliamentary Sharps Get Busy.
 Instantly all the parliamentary sharps on both sides were astir. Speaker Clark sat next to democratic leader Underwood at the front of the Speakers rostrum where MT. Under wood has been conducting conSidera- tion of the bill. Representative Fftz- gerald of New York rushed in from the appropriations committee, armed with precedentS and was followed by Representative Sherley of Kentucky and Hardwick Of Georgia, who joined in the majority protest against admit ting the amendment. On the republf- can side, Leader Mann, Representative Gardner of Massachusetts, Represen- tative Payne of New York and others conferred and addressed the house.
 Underwood Raises Point of Order.
 It was all over quickly, Represen- tative Garrett of Tennessee, in the chair, sustaining point of order made by Mir. Underwood that the tariff com mission amendment was not germane to the bill.
 When Representative Mann appeal ed from the decision, the house sus- tained the chair, 164 to S7. r
 Fight on Income Tax.
 Representative Hull of Tennessee, chief draftsman of the income tax feature of the tariff bill, prepared to- night to resist a campaign by the minority to amend the details of the proposed law. He expected a hard fight on behalf of the mutual fire in surance companies, which would be taxed one per cent. under the meas ure. The provisions affecting insur- ance companies were taken almost verbatim from the corporation tax law already in effect. but to avoid any pos sible question, committee amendments were prepared tonight to eliminate even the slightest variation from the existing law. gtc

SUFFRAGE BILL BEATEN.
Rejected in the House of Commons by
 Majority of AZ.

London, May 6.-The fate of the womans suffrage bill was sealed to- night by the votes of more than 50 Irish nationalists who voted against It. The bill, whereby it was sought to en- franchise six million women, was re- jected by a majority of 47. The vote stood 266 to 219.
 Whether there is any chance that the present parliament will pass bill of more limited character may be doubted. Possibly the nationalists fear that if they allow a woman's fran chise bill to pass the second reading it would lead to a parliamentary Strug- gle which would not unlikely end in dissolution of parliament before the home rule bill gets on the statute book Furthermore, the debate today proved that the militant policy of the suffragists has done the cause great harm, as far as parliaemnt is con cerned.
 Recent police court disclosures of acts of incendiarism planned by the militants and the burning of St. Cath crimes church at FIatcham today un- doubtedly influenced many members to vote against the bill.
 Refuse to Pay $5 Fines.
 Miss Nina Boyle and Miss Anna Munro, militant suffra agettes, who were arrested last evening while at tempting to hold a meeting in Hyde Park, when brought up at the police court today and charged. chose 14 days imprisonment in preference to the payment of fine of S5. each. "Of course we will not pay" they told the magistrate

ERECT IDENTICAL
 PEACE MONUMENTS.
Proposal to Have One Here and One
 in Great Britain.

New Y ork, May 6-Before taking up discussion of the plans for celebrat ing one hundred years of peace among English speaking nations, the inter arrange the programme, tentatively decided to adopt a statement of fdr- poses that will make for a perpetua- tion of this peace. The celebration, it WIS stated, was of secondary import ance to the consideration of future peace between the two nations as an object lesson to other countries now at war or preparing to engage in force of arms to settle differences. In this connection it was announced to- night that at the banquet in honor of the visiting delegates on Friday night Secretary of State Bryan would be present and is expected to make an inn portant announcement
 A celebration feature considered was the erection of peace monuments by Great Britain and the United States possibly of identical design, the cost to be defrayed either from public funds, or from private subscription The monument plan as a basis, other sug- gestions were that the cornerstones be laid on chosen day by the king of England, the president of the United States and by their representatives beyond the seas'' that other nations and all foreign governments being in v ceremonies; that on the day the cornerstones are laid there be a cessa- tion of work for five minutes through out the two countries and their colonies and that the occasion be ob- served by special exercises in the schools.
 It was further suggested that a fitting way to promote the growth of mutual respect and good will between Great Britain and the United States and their colonies would be through the endowment in the colleges and uni versailles o fchairs of British-Ameri- can history wit hspecial reference to the peaceful progress and relations of the two countries. This plan, it was suggested, could be based upon the principle of interchanging professors. It was urged that under the same head should be considered the endowment of travelling scholarships to enable journalists and writers to visit English speaking countries, and the awarding of prizes for essays by school students on subjects of peace and the abolition of war among civilized peoples. The schools, the delegates agreed, should be urged to include courses of history covering the period of 100 years of peace and that peace day celebrations should be held every year in the schools.
