important stocks above last weeks close.
Bonds were irregular.
Opening prices of stocks today disclosed
irregular changes. A majority of the
leaders began the session fractionally
higher, but in the first few minutes of
trading eased off. Rock Island common
and preferred and st. Louis and San
Francisco second preferred, made new low
records for the year. The Copper shares
were heavy.
Reactionary tendencies of the market
leaders did not amount to much, buying
orders appearing after fluctuations reach
ed half point so. Liquidation of low
priced stocks was unchecked and seven
new low records were made. st. Louis
and San Francisco second preferred
slumped points to 13.
Low priced stocks made partial recov-
cry of their big losses of the morning.
Speculation generally was apathetic, about
the only feature of interest being the COM
parative strength of the market leaders.
Speculation became decidedly stronger
in tone advances of 1 to points respec-
lively in Reading and Canadian Pacific
promoted a better demand for other
favorites. Completion of the urgent hqui-
dation of minor railroad stocks enabled

BASEBALL THRILLS
Eastern Teams in Majors Are
Strongest, Records Show.
Pitching Record of Walter
johnson Feature of Week.

New York, May 19.-Last weeks
play in major league baseball circuits,
while productive of fewer surprises
than of the previous seven day period,
was nevertheless featured by develop
ments of decided significance. The
jump of the Champion New Yorks
from fifth to third place in the Nation
al League standing was one of these.
Quite as notable was the reverse OF
this by the Chicago club, which lost
all five games it played and dropped
from third place to fifth. There was
also a furry toward the bottom or
the table, Pittsburg and Boston ex-
changing places, the former ending the
week in next to last position.
American League changes, if less
radical, were not lacking in interest.
The Philadelphia Athletics had rather
a bad week of it, while Cleveland and
Washington barely held their own. The
fine showing of the Chicago White Sox
was the decided feature, their success
full stand against the easterners en-
abling Callahan'S men to work Wltn1n
comparatively easy striking distance OF
the top. Frank Chance and his New
Yorks, while uproariously welcomed oy
Chicago FANS were trounced by the
Chicago players even on Chance
day. the visitors not getting one
game of the series.
With the first intersectional clash
of the season in each league drawing
to a close, two developments OF mo-
ment are to be noted. One is that so
far as the east versus the west series
show the eastern teams in the Natlon-
al League are even stronger than was
generally thought. On the other hand,
Indications furnished by the American
League intersectiona1 fight to date are
that the preponderance OF strength IN
the east in this organization is by
hQ n
posed.
OF 80 completed games in the eastern
invasion, of the National Leagues
western contingent, the easterners
have won no less than 2S to the west
erners IL. Up to date the engagement
of the sections in the American League
has been practically a drawn battle, q
games won and 20 lost, each being the
figures after Saturdays games had
been played.
Singularly enough. the tail-end Gin
cinnatfs have so far made the pest
showing of the visiting division in the
older organization. four victories and
six defeats being their record.
The battle between Philadelphia and
Brooklyn for the lead is furnishing
dailv excitement for the followers of
the National League fortunes. For
week or more these clubs have been
less than a game apart, each regularly
winning or losing when the other won
or lost and even matching postpone
ments.
Pitching feats have been features OF
the week in the American League.
Walter Johnson's scoreless record was
broken into by St. Louis only after
fifty-six consecutive innings that had
been unproductiVe of taHies for his op-
ponents He registered his ninth vic
tory of the season Sunday and has
vet to lose a game. Falkenberg of
Cleveland has won seven and dropped
none.

SMITH COUNTY DELEGATES.
Harmony Meeting Neg1ects to Ap
point Women on Slate.

Smith Center, Kan, May 19.-At a
recent meeting of the Republican
county central committee in this city,
the purpose of which was to elect
delegates to the Topeka harmony
meeting, twelve men were chosen and
the ladies unintentiona11y entirely ig-
nored. With the granting of suf-
frage, it is expected that the women
of this part of the state will take an
important part in future poliicS. and
movement is now on foot to remedy
this oversight on the part of the com
mittee. L. r. Meadows, editor of the
Gaylord Sentinel, has announced that
he will appoint as his alternate any
woman who is desirous of participant
ing in politics as played in this state
and who is willing to attend the state
harmony meeting. Other of the dele
gates have expressed a willingness to
do the same thing and it is believed
that number of women will be in
the Smith county delegation.

wau St.. New york, May 19.-STOCKS-
Acute weakness of St Louis and San

No authoritative explanation of the

Mountain advocate. (Barbourville, Ky.) 1904-1935, 1913-10-24

Republicans are contending that
Democrats administered the
baptismal ordinances to avoid the
sending out Of the CsrdweIl article
to perpetrate a report upon the
Republicans that they had tried to
prevent the circulatin OF the paper,
which is Democratic and is making
a hard fight for the slecticn OF the
Democratic ticket, while the Demo
Gratis are charging the Republicans
with destroying the paper to pre-.
vent the circulation Of the Demo-
cratic articles.
No damage was done to the plant
and no evidence of the entrance and
escape was visible, all the windows,
and the door being locked when the
composing room force arrived this
morning. Members OF the Times staff
gathered about 1000 papers from
the river bank. They dried them
and finished the edition, mailing
them this afternoon.
Several persons who were on their
way to the O'Clock l.. & L. train
and who passed the scene claim that
they saw and recognized the persons
who destroyed the papers. No off.
cial investigation has been made.
