DEFINITE STEPS TO RE
OIsGlGNIZATION.

Washington, d. C-Senator Cum
minis outlined today in spots the re-
form plans of republicans and pro-
gressives with their hopes to bring
about the holding of a national re-
publican convention early in 1914.
The change in the representation
of southern states in the national CON
vention is a secondary matter in the
program of the committee. With the
added support OF many republican
leaders, who did not participate in
the get together" conference in Chi
cago last spring. they will insist that
the control of the republican national
committee over the seating of dele
gates in national convention be
abolished.
The call issued BY Chairman Char
les ID. Hilles for meeting Of the
national committee in Washingto
December 10 has set in motion again
the movement started last summer
by Senators Cummins, Jones and 9th
ers for the specia national conven-
tion. The Endorsement given the
project few weeks ago by the New
J ork republican state convention ad.

1t is proposed to bring all posi-
Bile pressure to bear on members oi
the national committee before the
date set for the meeting in Washing
ton to induce them to agree to tht
holding of national convention no
later than next February. The ad
: vocateS of the convention will vigor

LAKE,

nama.-Charges Of dynamite
were placed today in over one thous-
and holes which had been drilled in
the Gamboa dixie preparatory to its
destruction. Each hole contains 80
to 100 pounds of dynamite, making
in the aggregate, the largest blast
ever set off.
The inflow of water from the lakes
through the dischargs pipes is caus-
ing the Culebra cut to fill rapidly and
it is estimated there will be only five
feet difference between the level of
the lake and the Culebra cut on Oct.
10, when the destruction of the dixie
is to occur. Fourteen units of the
Atlantic dredge fleet including two
ladder dredges, are ready to go
through the Gatun locks on October
9 for the purpose of removing the
remainder of the Gamboa dixie after
the explosion.
Miraflores lake on the Pacific side
is rising rapidly and it is considered
probably that, in case of emergency,
"a boat could be passed through the
canal sometime this month.

GIANTS CLEARLY oUTpLAYED
IN OPENING GAME OF SERIES

New York City.-Outhitting and
outIielding the New York Giants in
the opening game of the worlds SER
les the Philadelphia Athletics defeat
ed the National league representative
es at the Polo grounds yesterday by
a score of to 4.
So complete was the supremacy of
the American league champions in the
initial contest that the victory ap-
peared to be but continuation of the
series of 1911 when the Athletics
won the title of that year from the
Giants by four games out of six. AS
if to heighten the illusion there were
some feature plays that might have
been reproduced, so closely did they
resemble those of "a months ago.
The game was witnessed by gath
ering OF spectators that taxed the
dium and sweled the Golfers of those
of more than $4,000. The exact
number of fans who paid admission
to the stands was 36.291 and the
days receipts amounted to $75,225.
Great Throng at Grounds.
So great were the throngs that sur
rounded the Polo grounds that it was
necessary to call out the police re-
serves and discontinue the elevated
service to the crowded gates in order
that the thousands might not be
augmented and swept beyond the
control Of the police.
Much of the local contingent of
| fandom was chagrined at the defeat
of the Giants. There was none who
letics to the fruits of the victory in
the opening clash of the 1913 cham
pionship series. The Mackmen went
about their tas', in businesslike
manner and before two hours had
passed demonstrated that for a day
at least theirs was the better team.
They outbatted the Giants, driving
both Marquard and Crandall from
the mound with fusilades of long
hits, which quickly accounted for
runs Tn fielding, too, the standard
/ be.rers of the American league out
tsnown the representatives of the old
4 er association.
Athletics Hit Ball Hard.
| Lacil lCdll gathered IL Illus 1fOill
the delivery of the rival twirlers, but
the Athletics drives were more time
ly and of greater length. The Giants
gathered II bases from their II hits
while the Athletics total was 20. In
the fifth inning Baker counted two
runs for his team by knocking a
home run into the right field stand
and bringing in Collins ahead of him
1t was Center Fielder Schafer's
misjudging of Schang's drive to deer
center that really paved the way fol
the Athletic victory. 1t was one of the
few hard chances offered the Giant
fielders during the game and wher
Shafer failed to gauge the flight Of
the ball the Athletics seized the open
ing and took the lead, never to be
headed.
The Giants started rally in the
fifth inning which netted threr un
| but the Mackmen came back will
; another in the eighth and clinchet
the victory.

FOUND IN
5. D. SALOON BILL

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April 15.-At.
torney General Royal c. Johnson, who
has been in Sioux Falls several days
on business connected with his Office
makes the announcement that a 10.
kerr has been discovered il: the sa-
loon bill Of 1909, known as the Dillon
bill, it having been introduced by Sen
ator Dillon of Yankton county, who
is now one of the congressman from
South Dakota. The attorney general
claims that an amendment, which vas
defeated in both houses of the legis-
lature, has in some manner found it's
way into the bill as e%ngrossed and as
signed by the governor. 1t also is
claimed that the journals of both
houses OF the Legislature show that
the bill was passed without the amend.
ment. ...
The state supreme court has held
made it necessary for the affirmative
side of the liquor license vote to Sc
cure a majority of all votes cast at
the election at which the matter is
submitted, and not a majority Of the
votes cast on the liquor question. The
Dillon bill aimed to change this so
that simply a majority Of the votes
cast on the liquor license question
would be all that would be required
to have a city or tow ndeclared wet.
The four words, voting on the prop
osition," in some name found their
way into the bill between the time 1t
was entered on the journal and the
time it reached the governor.
Attorney General Johnson announc-
es that he will hold that the journals
are the best evidence in the case and
that it will stand ahead of the en-.
crossed bill. This probably will mean
several lawsuits throughout the state,
as many attorneys hold that the en-.
crossed bill as signed by the govern
or, is the exhibit that should main.

Was Picking Up Child.
Funk was shot while he was on his
own back porch, in a direct line from
the window from which it is said the
fatal bullet was fired. He had just
stopped over to pick up his two.year
old baby and carry her into the house
for dinner when he was struck down.
The bullet entered the body from the
front between the fourth and fifth ribs
and above the nipple and came out
one and One.half inches to the left
of the v%ertcbral column between the
seventh and the eight dorsal vertebra
The vertebral bone was fractured and
a portion of the lead patch on the bull
let was found in the wound. The
wound where the bullet entered was
about the size of an ordinary mans
little finger and the hole where it
emerged was about as large as a
mans thumb.
