NOTES OF THE GAME.

Dutch" Altman was right there
yesterday when it came to scooping
UP everything that came his way. He
had five chances and accepted every
n without a mishap. His Follower
catch in the third inning was one of
the best seen on the local diamond.

Warner, the Miller first sacker. did
better work with the stick yesterday.
The day before he struck out every
time he faced Morse. but yesterday
he made three singles out of four
times at bat.

Eugene Icheheryah cannot be sum-
money by the defense.
HE HAS SINCE BEEN MISTER
IOUSLY MURDEREDi

Inc discovery IN q RUSSIAN SQoCCO
of Christian child's murdered body
created intense excitement Some
frightened and ignorant people cried
ritual murder" But, for six months,
the public prosecutor did nothing.
Then the impending visit to Kiev of
his majesty, the Gar, stimulated
eagerness to clear up the mysterious
case. Two days before the emperor
arrived Mendel Bells, the prisoner,
now accused, was arrested. His poor
house stood nearest the lonely brick
field where the body was found. He
was Waterman of the yard.
The most direct evidence Identify
ing Mendel Bells with the crime
came from Casimir Shakowsky, a
lamplighter, who testified that, meet
ing little Eugene three days before
the tragedy, the boy told him how "a
man with black beard" had driven
him and Andrusha from the brick
field. Eugene is dead. There are sew
eral thousand Jews with black boards
in Kiev. The accused knew neither
boy, but was employed to keep all
boys from the kilns.
The lampighter now confesses to
inventing his story!
But the case CONTINUES!
Mendel Bells is a figurehead in the
process of blood accusation.

On Oct. 8, 1913, the Russian gov
eminent by bringing Mendel Bells,
Jew, to trial for ritual murder indicts
ALL THE SONS OF ISRAEL! Both
sides rest their case on the sacred
books of the Jews. It is an unparal-
leled process.
Poor little Andrusha Yustschinsky
was murdered wantonly and savage
ly. .----.---.....-.--
The question is HOW? And WHY?
The prisoner charged with the
crime is so nearly f1gurehead in his
own trial that his acquittal is gener-
ally conceded. So not Mendel Bells
alone, but the House of Israel is &C
cused of ritual murder!
And a process which calls 13,000,-
900 defendants to the bar of justice
may well challenge the attention of
the world!
How did Andrusha Yustschinsky
die?
We, the defense, have claimed
through hundred witnesses thatthe
child was slain by chiseI, or avn,
in the hands of thieves whose secrets
he had learned while playing with his
chum Eugene. Eugene's mother was
the gangs receiver of stolen goods.
English medical experts of inter
national reputation, Charles Mer-
eier, A. J. Pepper, w. H. Wilcox, have
already declared the crime was COM
mitted by person of unsound mind
with the means that happened to be
at his service.
French medical jurists of equal
standing have stated that the muir
der was committed by a person suf-
fering from desire for revenge, mania
or alcoholism.

POOR GRADE OF FUEL
TENDS TO BETTER CARS
Automobile Manufacturer Tells How
Makers Are Meeting One Of
Present-day Obstacles.

Most OF us who drive automobiles
find ourselves complaining now and
then. or oftener. about the low grade
OF gasoline now marketed" said an
automobile manufacturer. We may
be justified, In a measure, but the
very fact that gasoline has steadily
grown poorer in quality has had much
to do with motor car Improvement. So
here is the Ill wind saying illustrated
again.
mo manufacturer who is alive to the
situation is willing to see his car
robbed OF much OF its efficiency by the
fuel Accordingly. the manufacturers
have improved their cars, and the re-
suit is that the buyer and owner has
a better car than he would IL circum-
stances were different.
THE gasoline We are getting nowa-
days is heavy and hard TO vaporize
Accordingly. motors are given greater
charge Of fuel into the firing cham
turers also are providing means Of
heating the carburetors. as heat makes
the gasoline vaporize more easily. On
some engines the carburetor is heated
by n hot-air Jacket, through which the
exhaust is directed
This practice has been adopted by
some makers. while others jacket the
Carburetor with hot water from the
radiator. The hot-air system, be-
lieve, is better. for the carburetor be-
gins to warm up with the first few
explosions in the motor. but with the
other system the water IN the radiator
must be heated. which takes some time
before the carburetor is affected

DUTY OF TRUCK MAKERS.
Manufacturers' Responsibility to
Purchasers OF Hauling Equipmcnt.

Under present conditions IN the truck
business. the responsibility of the
maker to the purchaser is very large.
and no manufacturer who does not
meet that responsibility fully and in
the most liberal spirit has any right
to success.
In most cases the truck purchaser
already has hauling equipment which.
although il has shortcomings. Is still
performing its function more or less
satisfactorily. On the promises of the
truck manufacturer. the buyer dis
poses OF a number OF teams for every
heavy-duty truck he buys. and so COM
mits himself to the business integrity
of the manufacturer.
II the truck is a good one. II It has
been made honestly and intelligently.
the buyer probably will find his haul
ing much better taken care of than
before. The work Is done more quick
ly. The distances that can be COW
cred are much greater. and the radius
over which the buyer may do business
Is increased.
But to accomplish that the service
OF the truck must be practically con-
tinuous. The truck must unfailingly
carry its rated load over any passable
road. And there must be a willing CO.
operative on the part OF the truck
maker to keep his product constantly
at work

CADILLAC STARTS ON

Although the Cadillac was the hrst

While Venice is not having typical

the evidences are visible everywhere.
According to the report Of the Amer.
ican Vice Consul. palaces and houses
have been restored to their old elegance
and beauty. and at the Same time have
been improved by the addition OF mod
ern comforts.
Streets and canals have been enlarged.
new bridges built and a greater num-
ber Of steamers, larger In size, have been
plying between different parts Of the city
and to the islands. There are also moro
private motorboats. growing number
Of shops that sell q better class OF goods
and an almost total absence Of street
begging.
The municipality has realized the ne
cessity of providing cheap and proper
lodgings for the working classes, and
therefore many of the old. insanitary
houses have been replaced by large
buildings containing small apartments
of three to five rooms. fitted with mod
ern hygienic conveniences. Villas and
hotels are multiplying rapidly and the
buying and selling of land has tempted
many spectators.
Both the government and private land
owners have been devoting much at
tention to the enlargement and improve
ment of the farming districts. Vast
tracts of marshy land, which at high
tide were formerly covered with water.
have been successfully reclaimed and are
yielding good returns. This work Of re-
claiming land involves great expense,
but owing to the increased value OF real
estate and the liberal cooperation Of the
government. the landowner finds enter
prise Of this sort very profitable.

Ancient EmbroiderieS.

hobby with many fashionable women.
and this revival of interest in embro'd-
cry should be encouraged.
The Queens and noble ladies of the
long ago left exquisite examples OF their
handicraft in the priceless tapestries ex-
hibited in the museums.
Those who enjoy doing artistic needle
work are duplicating the designs created
during the reigns OF Queen Elizabeth.
Queen Anne. and Queen Catherine.
Queen Anne embroideries with their
exquisite coloring. are done with the
cross-stitch. Beautiful curtains are deco
rated with a band Of flowers embroidered
on canary-yellow background In
pink. yellow, and blue. Tho design Is
wholly conventional, and has been stored
away ever since the days Of that thrifty
Queen.
Elizabethian embroideries. worked In
long stitch on fine white linen. have a
quaint charm. The designs are mostly Of
birds and flowers and scrolls cunningly
intermingled. In some cases these bright
embroideries were mounted on back
ground OF vivid-red.
The old-fashioned patchwork quilting
Is also numbered among the recent re-
vivals. Every mother who has the sktu
should piece quilt for her baby. Pret-
