Error Defeats Turtles

As before said, the Bareps' victory was a gift and 1t didn't take the Tur- ties long to make the donation. Lusk whose only chance in the first game was a foul, which he bagged, was the donor, and he gave the game away on the first chance he had of 8 ground ball. Marcan singled to center for a starter Mcdonald dropped bunt down the third base line which he had beaten at first. Lusk smothered the ball and heaved it past Dunckel at mile a minute gait and when the ball was re- trieved Marcan was sitting on the bench and Mcdonald was perched on third base. Karr struck out Carroll and Knisely, who went to his old stand in center at the beginning of the second session, lined out to Clothier.
 From the first on, 1t was a beautiful box duel with no marked advantage
 on either side. Both pitchers were some- what wild but were strong in pinches Lusk, who heaved the game away | for his townsman, stood by him later l in the game and speared couple oi | shots that had they gotten through him

Few Hits Registered

The sum total of damage done by Baron bludgeons in the 14 rounds was six hits, three in the first, and three in the tail-end section of the double bill. The only extra base hits made in both games came from the bat of Mccormick of Memphis and were dou- bles in the first and second game
 There was not the slightest semb- lance of a marker in the first game until the fourth inning, when the Tur- ties marked twice and incidentally. which marking was sufficient McCor- mick, first up, walked. Mullen sacri- ficed the long, new Turtle to second Dunkel outhoofed a slow roller to El- lam and while Mccormick was making the third station, Dunckel stole second. George Merritt hit one almost off the handle of his bat over second base, and Mccormick and Dunckel counted.

 The Barons threatened in the seventh and for a while 1t looked like they were going to carry out their threat but the best they did was to leave three players on bases when the game ended.
 With one out, Mcbride scratched g single through second. It was the third and the last hit off Liebhardt. Ellam was given a pass. Tragesser batted foi Dilger and hit fly Into Allison's hands knisely went in to bat for Robertson and drew base on balls after Lieb- hardt had two strikes and no balls or him.

Washington, March 12.-Simultane-
Gus consideration by both houses of
Congress of bills to repeal the toll ex-
emption clause in the Panama canal
act, probably will begin a week from

suggested to give to the Chief Execu-

late tolls, will be necessary.
Chairman Henry OF the rules committee
said tonight that he believed the repeal
would be passed by a majority of from

Late Eruption of Sakura Jima
May Prove Means of Gauging
Future Danger, Says Scientist

Jaggar. professor of geology at the Mass
achusetts Institute of Technology and di-
rector Of the Hawaiian Volcano Observa
tory, who is studying the Sakura Jima
eruption, informs The Associated Press
that he considers the eruption of great
scientific interest for it may furnish a
formula for gauging the potential danger
of future eruptions.
He believes the earthquake OF Jan. II,
preceding the flow of lava, was due to
the attempts of the lava to force it's way
to the surface; that the great earthquake
of Jan. II, which was accompanied by
glow in the sky. was caused by the lava
reaching the air in the crater and that

MAJOR F|ERR0
IS DECLARED
MURDERER OF
W. S. Benton

Ell Paso, Texas, March 12.-Informa-
ton that evidence thus far gathered
by the Carranza commission indicates
Major Dudolofo Fierro as the slayer
of William S. Benton, British sub
ject, assumed Importance tonight with
the arrival of American passengers
with reports, not confirmed, that FL
erro had been arrested, charged with
the murder of two Mexico railroad
men. That the railroad men were
murdered is known and it is said that
the Staying was done in cold blood.
That Fierro really has been arrested
in connection with the case is only
a report but the information Is re-
garded as probably correct. 1t is said
that the Carranza commission started
work with information that Benton
was killed by Fierro.
1t is said also that the commission
has gathered convincing evidence that
Colonel Fsidel Avila, in command of
the garrison at Juarez, ordered the ex-
ecution of Gustav, Bauch, German
who was tried as a spy, but in whose
case no verdict was rendered. Rebel
officers at Juarez and at Chihuahua
repeatedly have denied that he was
killed.
In the case OF Fierro, who is accused
by residents of being extremely cruel,
those familiar with the situation say they
have looked for some charge unconnected
with the Benton case to be brought
against him as a cloak on which he could
be held, or for his disappearance or ap-
oarently accidental death. While investi-
gators, it is said, have been convinced
for the last two weeks that it was he and
not General Villa who killed Benton, it
Is reported they did not expect he would
i've to face that particular charge. He
was in Villas office when Benton was
