READING WON
The REMNANT
Won Series From All Eastern
League Clubs But TrantOnS,
Who Tied Them

Readings victory over De Neri Sat
urday night brought 10 a conclusion
one Of the greatest and most sensa-
tionally fought basketball campaigns
ever conducted under the auspices of
the Eastern League. With the cham
pionship hanging upon the very last
game of the race and with two con-
testing clubs in that final contest be-
ing the contenders for the rag and on
an even par at that ia the standing,
the stage for thrilling and awe-inspir-
ing windup could not have been set to
better advantage Upon the contest
centred everything for Reading and
De Neri and as the sfOrmer won, and
clearly so, on their merits. they are
Justly and rightfully entitled to the
title.
All that Reading now desires to
round out their cupful of happiness is
10 snatch the worlds series from
Troy, New York State League champs.
This series now pending between the
two winners. will open i'm this vicinity.
Troy has suggested this. an idea
which the Reading club is certainly
not averse to grasping. The Trojans
want to play in Reading, April 1 and
%, but Reading would and is making
efforts to stage the first game at Read
ing next Saturday night and the sec
on contest during the early part of
next week. Then they could invade
the New York State League territory
tust in time to finish the series before
baseball took command of the sporting
limelight. One serious drawback to
this proposition is that the State
League season does not end until the
first week in April, but as the race is
now decided the clubs contesting for
place only viii hardly protest against
Troy playing at home with Reading
during the final week of the State

Claims of many thousands of ship

sion, and Assistant Secretary Thomas
Yapp is having difficulty in arranging
them for proper presentation to the

In many cases the claims are for in
terstate shipments. It has been dis
tinctly ruled that no. refunds on this
class of freight can be made. It is
only for shipments entirely within the
state that the supreme court ruling
applies, and the interstate rates were
not directly affected by the decree in
the Minnesota case.
The commission is making every ef-
fort to secure prompt action on the
part of the railroads on all claims
filed, and it has been assured by Off,
Gals of the various lines affected that
arrangements are now being perfect
ed so that the refunds due can be
quickly and amicably adjusted.

Malaria. .

Malaria has been recognized since
the days Of Hippocrates as one Of the
most formidable and destructive OF
maladies, the more formidable because
it was supposed. in accordance with
the name which Macculloh adapted
for it from the Italian less than a
century ago, to be caused by per-
vasive venom In the air. But since
the epochal observations Of Laveran,
the labors Of Golgi and his colleagues
and the experiments and discoveries
Of Ross It has lost much OF its mys-
terious terror, and the sure way to its
prevention and extirpation has been
revealed.-New York Tribune.

STATES MOTION IS DENIED
Asks That Great Western Road ee
Required to Test Reduced Pas.
senger and Freight Rates.

Judge C. A. Willard denied the re-
quest Of the state officials for an or
der directing the Chicago Great West
ern railroad to put into effect the new
passenger and freight rates for test
period of ninety days, at an informal
hearing in the federal district court
at st. Paul. The court suggested
that the proper course for the states
officials to pursue is to make appli-
cation, accompanied by aff1davits, for
the dissolution of the Injunction
against the road. The states attor-
neys gave notice that they will make
such a motion, and Aug. Is was set
as the time when it will be heard.
Attorney General Smith said there
were special reasons for asking for
the test period. The road had been
through a series of misfortunes when
the rates were put in before, while
now it has been established as well
conducted road, gaining in patronage.
Therefore, if the rates were confisca-
tory when in force, they might be re-
munerative now. Also, he said, If the
higher rates are put in now and no
refunds paid public sentiment will be
created which will cause a loss of
business for the road. Court records
were cited showing that lower rate
in some cases brought greater rev.
enue.
Judge Willard said he did not feel
justified in ordering the test period
now, but if on the showing made in
the affdavits in the hearing on the
motion for a dissolution, it looks like
a close case, the test period may be
ordered.

DYNAMITE IN SEWER DITCH

Six sticks of dynamite were tlll'

At Eveleth. There were twenty-five

The dynamite evidently was placed
in the ditch the night previous by un.

Many persons believe some one who

say it is the work of a BLACK Hand"

MYSTERY OF The PLAGUE.
How and Why Did It Disappear From
England In 1857 -.


Why did the plague disappear from
England? Mr.. Bernard Shaw Incl
dentally asks this deeply interesting
question in letter to the Nation, and
we cannot say that we are satisfied
with his answer. He says he ''knows'
that plague has been 'extirpated" by
Common sanitation" .. &c..
Until the recent sporadic imported
cases, the last recorded cases Of plague
in England occurred at Nottingham In
1867. In that year plague vanished ut
terly from England for two and half
centuries. No one who has examined
tn, records of the seventeenth century
can he,,,,,v.e that it was "extirpated" by
sanitation. ve;-yv gradually in the sue
ceeding century ans a half plague
withdrew from Europe also.
The date Of its disappearance from
Constantinople has been fixed at about
the year 1871. It remained endemic
only in few lonely places in the
world, such as the highlands Of west
ern Arabia, Yunnan in China and Mes.
opotamia. Sanitation. though an ex-
cellent palliative, certainly never drove
the plague from STEAMBOAT and Cairo
and the southern. Mediterranean, any
more than it:did. from England.
1.-THE shrinKage Of plague is as great
a mystery as the recent outburst which
infected the whole world. Perhaps the
exclamation IS that in few years bac-
terra may 80 through the myriad trans
forming processes Of evolution which
in the case of humanity take cons to
complete.-Pall Mall Gazette.

BRYAN SENDS sTRoNG NOTE
Shooting Of American immigration Ia.
spector 1t Juarez Calls Forth
Drastic Representations.

Washington, July 28.-Strong repre-.
pentations, the most drastic in phrase
ology that have been made since the
present American administration came
into power were made to the Huerta
government in Mexico.
The United States government de-
manded not only the prompt arrest,
court martial and punishment of the
Mexican federal soldiers who shot
Charles d. Dixon, an American immi.
grafton official at JuareZ, Mex, Sat
rrday, but the immediate release OF
Charles Bissel and Bernard Mcdonald,
mining managers, imprisoned by fed
eral soldiers at Chihuahua City, and
said to be threatened with execution.
So serious were these incidents re.
garded in official circles that they
overshadowed largely the policy which
the visit of Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson had brought to a climax.
Ambassador Wilson declined to dis
cuss the affair.
The president had Ambassador viii.
sons long report in hand, studied it
carefully, and after an early confer
ence with Mr.. Bryan will be prepared
to inquire of the ambassador what
remedies he would suggest.
In the meantime the ambassador
would give no inkling of the recon-
lnendation he has in mind beyond the
general statement that his plan would
conserve the friendly relations be-
tween Mexico; and the United States
and protect, likewise, the interests Of
Americans in the Southern republic.
Protest to Huerta Government.
The ambassadors long experience
with outbursts against American citf-
zens, such as those against which the
American government lodged a pro.
test, will make him an important fac
tor in whatever policy is adopted to-.
ward the Huerta government on &C.
count of developments at Juarez and
Chihuahua.
The demand that the soldiers at
Juarez be Contaminated and that the
guilty, be punished is much more
pointed request than has hitherto been
voiced by the American government.
Although Mcdonald, who is Bissers
fellow prisoner at Santa Rosetta, is
reported to be an English subject, the
demands for protection covered both
men, and the American consul at Chi.
huahua was ordered to 60 to the ex-
IRENE of precaution to prevent harm
from Detailing the two mining men.
kilograms corroborating the reports
of the shooting at Juarez, were receiv-
ed at the state department.
There is little Information about the
status of Mcdonald and Bissel.
1t appears that they were en- route
to Parrel> in an automobile to bring
out refugees when arrested at Santa
Rosalia.
The machine was contiscated and
the two men taken to the city of Chi
huahua, where news of their impend.
Ing fate was carried to the border by
Americans. ~.
