CHICAGO. Aug 2Z-F'rank Kuhn, the sorreI-toppcd backstop of the White Sox. is very unhappy these days. because he has to spend so much time sitting on the bench. Last year he caught a majority of the games for the Callahan organization and made a record of which any catcher might be proud But in the meantime Ray Schalk has been ac- quircd, and his snappy work behind the bat has almost put Kahn out of a job.
 Although SchaIk outcIasses his partner the latter should be used with greater frequency, not only to preserve Schalk, but to keep Kuhn in trim.
 Red made splendid showing last season, when he was called upon to perform the bulk. of the labor He is one of the grittiest players in the game and keeps the other men keyed up to the proper kccnness.
 His work with the stick is only mediocre, but he is a hard man to pitch to, drawing many passes be- cause of this.
 Kuhn has good throw to the bases and is usually successful in mailing the runner. Sox players de- clare he is quick to learn the weak points of an opposing batter

News Of the Week From Vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
WILL SCAN BANK CHARTERS
Financial Institutions May Not Be
Authorized Unless Sufficient
Need Is Shown.

The state banking board at a meet.
ing held at Bismarck decided that
hereafter, before bank charters are
granted, the board must be assured
that there is sufficient population and
business in the town to warrant the
establishment of a bank. The board
will require a statement from known
and reputable citizens of the state
certifying to the character and finan-
cial standing of the applicants for the
charters.
The secretary of state will be re.
quired to submit the application to
the board for action and the board
may refuse to grant it if it finds the
new bank is not needed. Should the
board be in doubt it will cause an in,
vestigation to be made and have a
representative of the public exam
iner's department make an examina.
ton, for which he will have the right
to charge $40 a day and expenses.
This will apply particularly to in.
land towns along projected railroad
lines and is in line with Governor
Hanna's policy to give the communi
ties Of the state strong and safe
banks and to prevent. if possible, the
establishment of banks unless there
is a real necessity for them.
Another resolution adopted by the
board was to the. effect that every
state banking institution, every state
trust company or state savings bank
shall furnish the state examiner with
a list of their stockholders, together
with the postofice addresses and the
amount of shares held by each, and
that whenever any such stock is
transferred the examiner shall be
notified Immediately.

President Declares Special In
terests Are Busy.
USING MONEY WITHOUT LIMIT
Newspapers Filled With Paid Adver
tisements Intended to MisIead
the Public Judgment.

Washington, May 27.-President
Wilson told correspondents that he
believed the most extraordinary lobby
ever gathered by special interests to
overcome legislation was now mus
tered at the Capitol against the tariff
bill.
The president said he had no doubt
that a few SO called lobbyists were
there on legitimate errands, but that
the great majority were occupied in
a systematic misrepresentation OF
facts. While the president believes
that the lobby" opposition is concen
trated against free sugar and free
wool he is not apprehensive that it
will be successful.
The president made it clear that he
believed scientific business methods
and efficiency would overcome tariff
cuts and that Louisiana would not
only be able to continue in the g
industry, but would do so profitably.
The president later issued the fol-
lowing statement:
81 think that the public ought to
know the extraordinary exertions be-
ing made by the lobby in Washington
to gain recognition for certain altera-
tons of the tariff bill. Washington
has seldom seen so numerous, so in

"Money Without Limit"
"The newspapers are being filled
with paid advertisements calculated
to mislead the judgment not only OF
public men, but also the public opin-
ion of the country itself. There is
every evidence that money without
limit is being spent to sustain this
lobby and to create an appearance of
a pressure of public opinion antago.
nistic to some of the chief items of
the tariff bill.
1T is of serious interest to the
country that the people at large
should have no lobby and be v~oiceless
in these matters, while great bodies,
of astute men seek to create an arti-
fetal opinion and to overcome the in
terests of the public for their private
profit.

DRIVERS MUST SIGNAL AUTOS
North Dakota Supreme Court Re-

When persons are enjoying a drive
in North Dakota and have to pass an
automobile on the road, if their horses
are skittish and they want the ma
chine and its engine stopped, only the
driver must give the signal to the
chauffeur, according to a decision
handed down by the supreme court.
Otherwise, ii an accident occurs, the
chauffeur may not be liable for dam.
ages.
In a case in Foster county John
Messer was awarded a verdict of $500
against Henry Bruening. Bruening
was motoring and had to pass Mr..
and Mrs. Messer, who were driving.
Mrs. Messer signalled for the auto to
stop. Bruening stopped his car to the
right of the road. Messer, however.
drove across the road in front of the
car to the left side and into an open
field. The buggy was damaged and
Messer more or less injured. He sued
for damages and was awarded $500.
The supreme court holds that the
driver of the horse should have sig
nailed the auto driver. There would
then have been no confusion. The
lower court is reversed and the case
is ordered for a new trial.

Thirty-tou Persons Killed at
Long Beach, Cal.
SxTY-FWE SERIOUSLY HURT
Structure Proves Too Weak to Bear
Weight Of Nearly Ten Thou
sand Persons.

Long Beach. Cal. May 26.-Too
weak to uphold the burden of nearly
10000 human beings assembled for
the festivities of British Empire day
the land end of the big double decked
municipal pier in front of the city aU-
ditorium collapsed. Hundreds Of per-
sons on the top deck were plunged
down on the heads of other hundreds
crowded on the second deck. The
lower deck then gave way and all
were dropped down a chute of shat
tered woodwork to the tide washed
sands twenty-five feet below.
Thirty-four persons-mostly women
were killed by the shivered TIM
bers, or crushed to death by the fall
ing bodies of companions and friends.
Sixty-five more were seriously it,
jured, while hysteria and paralyzing
fright disabled scores Of others.
The crowd massed about the audi
forum doors was composed mostly
of women and children who had gath
cred there before the Empire day pa
rade ended. When the section about
the doors sank they went down with
it and a half dozen policemen, who
had been vainly striving to hold the
throng in check, went with them.
Only a comparatively small num-
Der of men were caught in the trap,
as most of the male celebrators were
taking part in the parade. Many who
were not standing on the section
which collapsed were drawn or push
ed into the vortex and those who es-
capped crowded. panic stricken, toward
the outer rail of the pier, starting a
wild scramble for safety.
Mass Of Struggling Bodies.
Those who fell into the hole last
were unable to scramble over the en-
tangled bodies to the broken ends of
the floor, so deep was it massed with
struggling bodies. Fallen timbers and
flooring were damned among the limbs
of those caught in the trap and ropes
were required to pull back the jagged
edges of the sunken flooring and bro,
ken joists before the dead and injured
could be taken out.
1t was fully an hour before the
yawning hole in the floor of the pier
could be emptied of its tangled mass
of humanity, the dead separated from
the injured and the dying extricated
from the timbers.
The dead and seriously injured were
laid in rows on the beach, while scores
who had sustained less serious in
juries wandered in a daze seeking
missing relatives or friends. A num-
Der of these taken to hospitals we're
found %unscathed, but suffering from a
nervous shock. Many of the women
and men collapsed on the pier when
the search for missing ones ended at
the long row Of dead and injured.
Although most of the victims were
from Los Angeles and Long Beach
nearly every town in Southern Cali
fornia was represented among the
dead and injured.
Prospective damage suits aggregat.
ing probably $1,000. 900 or more and a
grand jury investigation engaged the
attention of city officials as the most
imminent outcome of the disaster.

GRoNNA DISCUSSES TARIFF
Believes Republican Support Will
Offset Democratic D~isaffection.

United States Senator A. j.. Gronna,
interviewed at his home at Lakota,
on the tariff question, says he is not
hopeful for any radical changes in
the present bill, believing that it will
pass the senate in practically the
same form that it passed the house.
"While two of the Democratic SEN
ators have stated that they would
vote against the bill it is generally
believed that one or two Republicans
will vote for it, so that the effect of
the change will be overcome in that
manner. The bill has not been scien-
~tifically drawn" said Senator Gronna,
there being several features of 1t
that appear faulty. AS to the income
tax I believe it has been properly
drawn and l am strongly in favor
of it,"

Calgary, Alta, May 27.-That Luz
Their McCarty, heavyweight champion
fighter, who died in the arena here,
was killed by his opponent, Arthur
Pelkey, from a blow to the jaw, is the
report of the doctors who conducted
the autopsy.
1t was not known until the autopsy
was conducted that McCarty had suf.
fered a broken neck. 1t was believed
that he had died from the effect of a
blow over the heart. The autopsy
disclosed the fact that his neck was
broken.
Pelkey delivered a stiff blow which
landed below the ear just before the
two clinched. This blow partly turned
McCarty's head and must have been
the one which dislocated his neck.
Apparently the new turn will make
the charge of manslaughter still more
serious for Pelkey.
