IrnnLn nm MAYnR.

VNTE.MINCTONlANs should regard seriously and
w sensibly Mayor Howens plea for safe and
sane Fours OF July. Let them remember that ON July
1912 4l persons killed and 9i7 persons injured
seriously Tits country 10y the use of pistols and
mrh explosives the national celebration. That was
terrible toll for misdrectod patriotic icryor TO eN-
act hut it was small as compared with the toll in
fomcr years before MAYOR Gaynor of New York came
uncquhocaly and effectively in favor Of the
safe and Fourth that Mayor Howell now is urg-
INK tor our own community. Statistics show that in
1871 the Fourth OF July dcah-roll in the United
States was o.; in 1910, ial. and in 1909 215. The
great falling of has hccn due largely to safe and sane
agitation such being conducted in our home city
by Mayor Howell In ten years 4Oi17 persons have
been killed or wounded in Fourth OF July celebrations.
Eyen in the battle Of Gettysburg, the greatest Of the
civil w-r. that many persons killed and I'M
ured
Last Fourth eight persons made totally
blind; tventyone lost one eye each; thirteen lost
legs arms or hands and fogty-tbree lost or
fingers Giant hrecrackers alone killed two end in
iured $50 persons Six deaths resulted from tho reck
less shooting OF Firearms. Six children died from
lockjaw.
Surely that is showing that should mpel every
thinking man. woman, boy and girl to be in hearty
sympathy with Mayor Howell to do what he TO
aid in putting end to such deplorahle conditions.
Much has been accomplished during the last three
years. The widespread agitation now in favorsof a
safe and Fourth should beat the figures down
to lower level this year

THE COST or LIVING.

From the Milton Times.
Everyone agrees that it costs more
TO live than it did 20 yeas ago. but
opinions differ as to the cause. There
are many causes. hut one of the
most important is that our expenses
have grown with our needs. Inven-
tion has supplied all sorts of new
facilities for living that have become
necessities to most OF us and they
all cost money.
Moreover in a democratic society.
where all are supposed to be equal,
we do not like to be outdone by our
neighbors, and urged by this feeling
we all push up our expenditures so
as to be sure that we have what
others have.

TIGERS OUTROW
 HARVARD AND PENN
Princeton Boat Finishes Length Ahead of Crimson After Long Stern Chase.

Cambridge. Mass. May 12-The Princeton Tiger showed aquatic strength and skill today by outrowing Harvard and the University of Penn sylvania in 1 7S miles dash down the Charles river basin.
 It was a stern chase for the winners most of the way. fer their start was a poor one. Pennsylvania was over hauled at the half way mark and Harvard as the shells swept under the Harvard bridge. one mile down the course. Then the Tigers gradually drew away. and they had length to the g66d at the finish. Pennsylvania finished three lengths behind Harvard.
 The times were:
 Pripeeton-=10 minutes, IS seconds.
 Harvard-10 minutes, 22 seconds.
 Pcnnsylvania-10 minutes. 34 sec ends.
 When Dr. Hugh Cabot gave the word at the Cottage Farm bridge the liar yard men caught the water first. The Pennsylvania blades gripped flash later, but Princeton was slow in get ting under way.
 All three crews churned the water with a thrashing stroke of 40 to the minute. At the first quarter Harvard had a lead of 10 feet over Pennsylva- mia, while Princeton was half a length aStern.
 It was a pretty race to the mile mark, Harvard bridge. The Crimson shell was still to the fore, with Prince ton five feet astern, when the boats disappeared in the shadows of the bridge. It was while the crews were in darkness that the race was won and lost. for when the shells reappear- ed Princeton had passed Harvard and led by three feet.

St. Louis Must Pay O'Connor s500O
Jury Decides in Favor of Former Manager Suit For Breach of Contract t-Shugrue Knocks Out One Round Hogan in Tenth Round-Had Advantage Over Californian All the Way.

St. Louis, May 12.-The St. Louis American league baseball club must pay Jack O'Connor $5,000, the amount ne would have received in salary had he not been discharged as manager 1 prior to the opening of the 1911 season, jury in the circuit court decided to- night
 OConnor sued the club for $5O00 Tor breach of contract, claiming he was engaged to manage the team for the seasons of 1910 and 1911. but that he was dismissed at the end of the 1910 season. The trial, which had occupied the court all day, came to close with unexpected suddenneSs. The jurors were out only thirty minutes.
 OConnor was called to the stand in rebuttal as the last witness. He de- nied the testimony of Sydney Cook and Julius Cronheim that they had from the grandstand overhear O'Connor give orders that enabled Napoleon Lajoie of the Cleveland team almost to tie the batting average of Ty Cobb for the 1910 season.
 Cook, who witnessed the final double header between the Cleveland and St Louis Americans in the season of 1910, testified this afternoon that while sit ting in the grandstand just above the St. Louis bench he heard OConnor in- struct his players to favor their op- ponents.
 A deposition filed in the case today by President Ban Johnson of the American league stated that Johnson ordered the dismissal of O'Connor on the ground that he had instructed Third Basernan John Corridor to play back of the base wlln Nap Lajoie was at bat for Cleveland thereby enabling Lajoie to run up his batting record. It was in that season that the batting contest occurred between Lajoie and Ty Cobb of the Detroit Americans for an automobile record.
 Cook testified that he heard O'Connor instruct Pitcher Malloy to give passes on balls to certain Cleveland batters, and in one instance heard him instruct MalIoy to hit Manager Mcclure of Cleveland with the ball. Malloy, the witness said, hit Manager McGuire The effect of these instructions, the witness said. hit Manager Mcclure. The effect of these instructions, the witness said, was to bring Lajoie to bat every other inning.
 Cook also testified that he heard OiConnor swear at Third Baseman Corridor for getting his hand on ball hit by LajOie, thus causing Lajoie to be credited only with a, sacrifice.
