MOOSE AND RALLIES
 IN DIAMOND MlX-UP
RED HOT BALL GAME IS PROM IsED AT WHlTTIN6TON PARK
 THIS AFTERNOON.

There's sure going to be something doing on the Wilmington park dia- mond this afternoon at 5 o'clock. when the Moose and Eagles line up for the second game of series that has been arranged between these or ganizations.
 Recollect. last Sunday contest was won by the Moose, the score be- ing 54 the antlered herd winning by a garrison finish in the last half of the ninth It was the best amateur ball that has been played on the local field in many seasons and kept the rooters of the respective teams on the anxious bench until the last man was out. But that's the thrill in the great national game. One can never tell who will win until the last man has been retired, and the Eagles are de- termined to retrieve their lost laurels and state that the score today will be, when the game is oyer in their favor.
 The two lodges have a commend able object in playing these games. Fraternal ball promises to become popular. Both the Moose and the Eagles are arranging to send their re- spective Drum and Bugle Corps to two big conventions and they don't want to ask the business men for funds to help defray the expense of such trips so with dances and the bail games and other amusements they have outlined a campaign in which the public will get a good slice of satisfaction and amusement for the money and the baseball series is in keeping with this program.
 Jack Goodine will have charge of the Eagles Drum and Bugle Corps. and the new instruments will be tried out this morning in the lodge room for the first time. The members of the Eagles organization are request ed to be at the hall no later than 9:30 for the initial rehearsal.
 The game this afternoon will be called promptly at o'clock. Xxi Da- vies will in all probability be in the box again for the Moose. He pitched a great game for his team last Sun day and is in good condition for a hard contest this afternoon. The grounds are in perfect condition and, provided the weather is all to the good. a record-breaking crowd should see this contest.

the Academy of Amsterdam alone being against it.
 The proposed reform in the calen- dar, however. depends on the deci' sion of the religious authorities. The fixing of Easter is a question for the government of the church and it can be celebrated on a date determined by the Pope.
 Following is the perpetual in- variable calendar proposed by the In ternational Association of Acad- emies:
 One or two blank days must be added to this calendar according to whether the year is or is not bissex' tile. One of these blank days is Ne" Years, which precedes the first oi January The other is the bissextile day which precedes the first of July These blank days are placed outsiu7 the week. In this calendar all the quarters and halves of the year are uniform Each month has an equal number of working days The first fifteenth or thirtieth of the month never falls on sunday The thirty first which closes all the trimestors falls always on Sunday.

interested, says the warmest parti- sans of the proposed reform are not Utopians, but practical men They are. he says, financiers and business men.
 M. Lecointe recalled that at meeting of chambers of commerce the German delegates declared that German commerce lost millions or francs when Easter came in March. The two academic semesters, separ-
 ated according to universal custom
 by Easter are declared also to cause
 inconvenience in teaching, whi e
 spring vacations are apt to come dur
 ing bad weather when Easter falls
 too soon.
 As to the actual divisions of the year it is true. say those interested. that one is accustomed to the ano-
 malies, but that il is nevertheless highly desirable to do away with them.
 They call attention to the months having 2S. %, 90 or &l days, tri- mesetrs with 90, 9l or 92 days, while the number of weeks included in the different trimesters, or il the two semesters, are unequal. Commercial complications and confusing under the present calendar are among the arguments of members of the com
 mission. Practically all the acad- emies voted in favor of the change,

Jack Purnell and George Johnson, both Of this city, returned 10 town late last night telling of one of the most thrilling experiences and a very narrow escape from drowning in the Ouachita river.
 The mea had been fishing in the river and the boat floated into the shoals and capsized Purnell caught a willow and assisted Johnson to do likewise, and they spent six hours in the water before they were finaally rescued by the Sangster brothers and George Holstein of South Hot Springs.
 The men say that notwithstanding their frantic cries for help, that a large number of people passed them by and refused to go to their rescue in the swift stream and amid the eddies of the shoal, until the trio above named succeeded in securing a boat and making the trip to the point where Purnell and Johnson, al most exhausted and chilled to the bone, were barely able to sustain themselves longer.
 One of the rescued parues states that a man camped on the shore pos sessed a boat, which he steadfastly refused to loan to those who wanted 10 go to their aid.

SALMON PACKERS
 HAVE BIG LOBBY
Is Report From East and Will Spend Thousands to Prevent Full Ter
 ritorial Government.

The fishing companies of Alaska are reported to have organized one of the largest Hobbies ever sent to Wash ington in the interest of their indus try. The companies have secured a big purse to :defray the expense of the lobbyists, who are to remain in Washington and prevnt the enact ment of any law which will allow the territorial legislature of this ter ritory to tax the output of salmon and prevent them from taxing the cannery buildings and gear of the fishing con- panies.
 One single canneryman has been reported to have contributed $5,00O to this fund and every effort is be- ing made, it is reported, to prevent hostile legislation.
 The Wickersham enabling act, un- der which the present territorial leg islature is organized, expressly pro hibits any tax on the fish output or the passage Of any law regulating the fish, fur or game acts of congress. Under the present act of congress the canneries pay their taxes in af- 1 fidavits that they have liberated sal mon fry and do not pay on buildings, gear or traps, and against this affi- davit every grand jury for many years has protested in vain.
 The recommendation of President Wilson that full territorial govern ment be established in Alaska has caused the cannerymen much concern as they fear, should the territory be given full territorial form of gov ernment, they will be forced to pay a fair share of the burden of the gov ernment
