Baseball is business, not a pleasure.
Had the Mobile manager played the
second battle with his team at disad-
vantage. he would have displayed
sheer foo1hardiness. Perhaps Finn
realized that he had an inferior club
But had he lost the pennant by such
a kind hearted act. the Mobile fans
would have demanded his head.
While it is thrilling to see a man
brave perils, the public wants a battle
without handicaps. If Finn had played
in Atlanta-while he was in a position
to avoid 1.-THE would have been bat
Ting under disadvantage If Atlanta
had played game in Mobile, the
Crackers would have been fighting un-
der a weighty load.
In figures, the proposition is fully
presented If both clubs are successful
in winning the closing contests the
standing will be:
NAtlanta .......1S7 81 Sc 1924
If Atlanta defeats Chattanooga,
while Mobile divides the two games
with New Orleans the two clubs will

can lose the battle this afternoon and

Poe Is Denied
A Full Pardon
CONVICTED WiLLISToN AUDITOR
HOWEVER, IS GIVEN GREAT.
Err LIBERTY.

Bismarck, N. D., June s. - There
were Y applications for pardon in
Governor Hanna's Office. The first ap-
plication taken up was that Of w. T.
Poe, some years ago city auditor for
the city Of Williston. and who had
been serving ten year sentence for q
charge of embezzlement and distort-
ing his records. The board at its
meeting held in December, 1912
granted Poe a conditional pardon, and
since that time he has been living
with his family at Ray. Together
with his wife and attorney, E. A.
Palmer, he appeared before the pres
ent meeting Of the board and asked
for an unconditional pardon, which
was denied, though Poe was permitted
a parole privilege and was permitted
to go with his wife to live on claim
near the Montana line. .....
Another pardon passed up by the
board was that of Leroy H. Bancroft
of Dickinson, who is serving an inde-
terminate sentence of from five to ten
years on statutory charge. At the
meeting yesterday his pardon was de-
MED. Bancroft followed the barber's
trade and at the time of his arrest he
had wife and family, but his wife
has since been divorced, and returned
to live with her folks in South Dakota.
Last year he was granted parole and
had employment in a barber shop in
Bismarck till the barole board deemed
his conduct did not warrant him hav-
ing liberty longer, and he was re-
turned to the prison to finish his SEN
tence.
Isadore Mazakahonunni. a half
breed Indian, serving 10-year term
for granddaughter. and sent up from
Ward county, was given conditional
pardon.
A large percentage of those seeking
pardons are serving sentences for
statutory offenses. The only prisoner
sent up from Grand Forks county ask
ing his release is julius Moe, who was
sent up for two years and six months
on a charge of forgery in the third
degree.

St. Paul, June 10.-Attorney Gener
al Smith said the 2 cent fare rate
would probably be again in effect
within two weeks at the latest. Smith
said however, it would probably be a
longer time before the railroads would
be able to reclassify their commodity
rates but the law as it stood before
being attacked by the railroads
would be enforced as soon as the
roads had been given reasonable
length of time to adjust their tariff
schedules. NJ

All sorts of opinions prevailed as to
where the victory rested in the Min
nesota rate cases. Minnesota state Of
icials in dispatches expressed their
pleasure over the result. Attorney
General McReynolds and members Of
the interstate commerce commission
said they were fully satisfied. The
prospects of congress taking charge
of state rates affecting interstate com
merce indirectly lent encouragement
to the railroads that they would es-
cape regulation by the forty-eight
state commissions. ...- .
The attempt of the railroads to es-
tablish the cost of reproducing their
property new, as equivalent to flair

earn rates, is regarded as doomed. The
federal court in Minnesota adopted
that basis 1t allowed the railroad
to multiply the normal market value
of land by two in order to arrive at

given their land, free from hypotheti
cal additions. ~ ...

Reynolds tonight said:
1.-THE court holds that congress, in

that the rate is confiscatory, the de.
cision says that the burden of proof
of confiscation falls upon the railroad
The court found that the Minnesota

Butter Scoring
Is Completed

Bismarck, N. D., Juns 5.-The first
scoring in the six months educational
creamery butter contest that is being
conducted by the state dairy depart
ment has been completed.
The number of samples Of butter en-
tered was not quite as large as was
hoped by the dairy officials but that il
was truly a statewide contest is clear
ly indicated by the postofaces of the
contestants whose names and scores
are given below.
The quality Of the butter averaged
very well though as usual as this time
of the year there were some defects
in flavor caused by weeds and new
grass. as we'll as the usual one Of
poorly cared for cream while in the
hands of the producers. The body
too, was affected by the prepondes
ance of the softer fats In the butter
while the cows are on new grass pas
ture.
Two samples were found to exceed
the federal standard for moisture, II
per cent being illegal.
If such butter should be sampled by
revenue inspectors the creamery man
ufacturing it would be required t
take out adulterated butter factory
license and pay a tax of 10 cents pei
pound for butter containing the exces.
moisture.
One creamery in the state is said or
good authority to have enriched The
United States treasury in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000 during the past win
ter and as this is consistent witt
good business management it is i'm
portant that the creameries know
what the moisture contents of eacl
churning of butter contains before i
is packed.
There is greater danger Of incor
porating an excess Of moisture at THU
time Of year than at any other.
Prof. G. L. Martin of the agricul
tural college was the judge, assisted
by State Dairyman E. A. Greenwood
and E. H. Pierce.
