Howard Taft, former president of the
United States, Thursday. in the ca
pacity of a private citizen. urged Secy.
McAdoo to give New Haven. Conn,

a marble postoffice. Whether a form
er republican president has sufficient
influence with a democratic admins

decided.

the former president laughed and
said:
The report that l have lost so
pounds is a malicious lie. 1t is only
CO."
Regarding Rep. Horland's resolu-

ate was not in session and members
of that body city detectives, police
men and state officials not present on
business were included in the re
quest" to leave the capitol and the
state house grounds.
This action was taken as a precau-
ton against a threatened open clash
between the factions that are fighting
over the so-called liquor enforcement
bills.
The agreement to dispense the
gunner" was reached soon after the
afternoon session was called to order

of the opposing aggressive factions
finally left the building and the house
was again called to order.
The regulars Thursday successfully

strengthen the state wide prohibition
laws. They prohibit the shipment of
liquor into the state. prohibit its ship
ment within the borders of the state,
and provide for action in criminal or
civil courts to declare saloons public
nuisances upon petition of ten tax
payers. All three of the measures
passed the senate by a close vote.

Bejach introduced a resolution citing
John Yeatman. deputy game warden.

tempt. it being alleged that he had
drawn a revolver Wednesday when the
house adjourned in an uproar. Late

voted down.

Six Hits With No Runs.

Baseball has some funny freaks. but
none ever beat one which a writer re-
calls happened in a game In Indiana
on May 30, 1890, when the Anderson
club got three triplets. double and
two singles in one inning, and yet they
didn't score. Ireland, the first batter,
hit for triple and tried to score on a
short passed ball, but was tagged out.
Wiswell. the next batter, hit for what
looked like home run, but was caught
at the plate by a good return. Shum-
way, the next batter, tripled The next
batter, Derby, hunted, and while the
third baseman was waiting for the ball
to go foul the batter made second, thus
giving him two bases. Faatz also bunt-
ed and was safe, as Shumway on third
was held from scoring. This made five
hits, and the sixth came when Fear hit
liner to right, the ball hitting Faatz
on the way to second, thus retiring the
side.
